Bill Myers Tip of the Week – January 08, 2011

Sometimes, all you need is a shower curtain

OK, the truth is, most of us don’t have a dedicated video studio where we shoot our instructional and YouTube videos.

Like most people who shoot these kinds of videos, we shoot them in a spare bedroom or garage.

But your viewers don’t have to know that.

With just a little staging, your videos can look like they were shot in a office, a news studio, a product research lab – almost anywhere you can imagine.

And if you are on a tight budget and don’t want to spend time staging a shooting set, all you really need is a ten dollar shower curtain.

With a certain kind of shower curtain thumb-tacked to the wall behind you, you can create a very professional looking video.

And no, this technique doesn’t involve chromakey or any other special effects.

To see what I mean check out the article and video at http://www.bmyers.com/members/1967.cfm

Seeing the video on that page can open your eyes to the real potential of shooting video with just a shower curtain background.
