37. A Few Tips from Stef on Video …1. Turn on all of the lights in the home. I mean all - every last one you can find.2. Take your video in segments if possible, rather than all in one continuous shot.3. Move the camera SLOWER than you think you should. If you think you are moving it slowly, move it slower - really.4. Use a tripod and leave it on the ground so you are only moving the camera side to side (again, think segments), move the tripod when you are ready for your next shot (or segment).5. Speak clearly and loudly or if possible, record your voice over the video when editing.6. Definitely - definitely - definitely use your voice for an audio description (just say NO to cheesy music and/or silence).7. Keep it short or you will lose your audience.
