How I shoot recipe videos

[nioxic]

If you watch this video, without audio, it's about a man describing how to perfectly cook an orange on a pan, for 27 minutes

Adam: Looks nicer right
Me, watching in 240p: Oh yeah definitely

[AtomicShrimp]

Thanks for this. I really appreciate your methodologies and thought processes. And of course your content output.

[WayofRamen]

I'm here for the tips cause I honestly have no idea what I'm doing.

“The job of the video is to make you feel like you’ve cooked this once before.”

This is so absolutely true. I’ve never been able to put my finger on what makes your recipe videos so much better than other YouTube cooks, but this is exactly it. When I cook your recipe videos, it does feel like I have cooked it once before because I have seen you complete the whole process without skipping or montaging parts of the process.

Lauren looks so serious when she's holding up the ring light 😂

[falloncj]

I really thought he was gonna use calling Lauren "Honey" as a segue into an ad... he's so good at it

I appreciated that step of “feeling like it’s been cooked before.” I have cooked Babish’s Josh’s and Ethan’s food before, but for some reason Adam’s always turn out the best and I had no idea why until that comment and watching this video. Thanks Adam for all the hardwork you put in.

Really makes you appreciate Adam's pedagogical skills. He was probably awesome to have as a Journalism prof.

[DyslexicMitochondria]

As a content creator myself, I appreciate how much effort you put in your vids Adam. That's why we all love your content so much

2:52 Adam: see how much clearer that looks?
Everyone on mobile: 👁👄👁

Thank you for this Adam. Filming and lighting food (or anything) is definitely my weak spot, and this has been illuminating. Can’t wait to try out some of your techniques.

Here I am watching a 30 minute video of how to make a video. Time well spent when it's Adam!

[trenton]

I really appreciate how transparent Adam is about his whole process. Really shows that his main focus is his audience and helping them succeed

[BlankPicketSign]

Adam, when you are "abusing" the Focusing Effect for movement, That has terms too!
When the focus is going from something close, to something far away, that's called a "Focus Throw"
When it's coming from something far to something close up, that's a "Focus Pull"
You Pull the focus in, and then you throw it out. Lots of film makers use it to direct attention.

17:36 I'm a perfectionist as well, and this piece of advice is pretty timely for me. Thanks Adam.

[kingkool]

I relate so much with making decisions while being a procrastinating perfectionist who also has to learn by being hands-on with the subject.

Even writing this short and simple comment has taken me several minutes because I write and rewrite it constantly to "fit".

[toast]

Feels like I owe Adam something for this video. It's a better course for learning videography than actual paid courses

[EmptyPantryEntrees]

As a food creator myself, I’ve gotta say Adam, you encapsulate many of the countless topics influence video creation and have condensed it down to a solid synopsis of the creation process. This video is a masters class for beginner home cooks who wanna make food videos look delicious
