Be prepared to feel awkward, be prepared to delete more video than you save, be prepared to fail. Practice: This one is the most obvious which is why I saved it for last. Filming well is a skill and requires a lot of attention. Having someone who is not interested or unskilled with a camera can make things more difficult for you. However, you need to film with the right people. When you film with others it has so many advantages including feeling more natural, more energised and having extra brains to spot mistakes and come up with ideas. Now days I just imagine I am speaking to my patients or students with practice this has become natural and more normal.įilm with someone: I made the most progress when I worked with my Physio Channel team, Richard, Rosie and Becky. So even if you don’t get your Claudia, or Brad Pitt in your studio you can just imagine them, this should hopefully lighten your presence on camera, stop the death stare and may even make you smile J Mrs Schiffer was promptly forced to resign by my manager (Wife).

Then practice some short monologs or exercise demonstrations. Switch the camera off: Set up your camera (which is probably also your phone) so it’s ready to film you.
