In this video, Nolan covers his top 5 tips for shooting videos outside

[ThinkMediaTV]

Question of the Day 💡Do you record videos outside? If so, have you used a light outside?

[TheMatthewsClan]

Wow thanks for these tips, I totally had this all wrong, always thought it's best to record in the sunlight, I'll make sure to get the reflector sand additional stands to hold the diffuser.

I don’t agree completely, if you are dark skin like me and your skins undertone is warm the sun is more pleasant on the skin. No matter where I stand in the shade it doesn’t work for me but when i turn the camera on my husband ( white dude) he looks better anywhere 😢. The shade and cloudy skies simply makes me look grey when filming. You must consider your skin colour and your season ( if you are an Autumn, Winter, Spring or summer) too plus the colour of your clothes.

Very valuable … lighting is so important … i have some videos that have terrible lighting and some amazing … and i only notice the difference in retrospect 😜

[Reesfamilygaming]

Thanks for sharing. I can’t wait to press record.

[iTradeAIMS]

I don't make videos and I don't need to but I still LIKE these videos. You guys are awesome. :)

A strong positive mental attitude will create more miracles than any wonder drug.

[Godswill_Ezugwu]

This video is Very helpful especially for YouTubers that work outside.

[ConceptNewEra]

Lighting is king! Love the tips you shared, shooting outdoors can be really difficult sometimes no doubt! 💯✔️🔥

[avneet.]

Your videos always teach me things I didn't know I needed lol! You guys always have amazing tips! :)

[christinemanese]

I like this video, taught me a lot. Thank you sir.

[Drrezzin]

What really helps, is if you plan your shoots before 12 noon and after then. That way, the sun isn't high in the sky, causing unflattering shadows.

[DEHEK]

Great tips thank you for sharing. I like the adding more light option best.

[avanibhate]

This was really helpful! Thank you Nolan!

[Adam.Gawlica]

These Tipps are extremely useful. Thank You.

[HopeandFutureDevotions]

So good, Nolan! Thanks for this video!

[BloomingWildwoodHomestead]

Thank you for sharing these tips. Do you have other tips for recording videos outside while on the move or working on projects? Or is the best option to make sure you are recording during those sunrise and sunset times? Many of my videos are recorded outdoors and the lighting can be tricky for sure.

[fairweatherfarmer]

This is super useful most of my filming is outdoors being a farmer, other than using a dead cat are there other ways to reduce wind noise?

[Hawaii_NoKaOi]

Great Video! Thanks for sharing your insights! = )

[josuita]
