Very helpful mate, thank you!

thanks for the info boss

So i was talking to a CD about cropping and she said dont cause when they watch it, your full body will look to small for them to see. Would like to hear your thoughts since this video was 3 years ago im watching

Hi there, quick question, where did you purchase/what brand is that tripod stand for iPhones? If you could provide a link, would be super grateful! Thank you!

Absolutely valuable information. Thanks

Thank you!

What are the camera apps that you have tried and liked? Thanks

Thank you! I appreciate this video, just had a question how would we know what temperature light to use like warm,white,cold with different skins tones? Is it just what we would prefer ?

great video

Thank you Benedict Cumberbatch for taking time out to share with us your knowledge!

Great tip!

Very helpful. Thank you 👊🏻

The quality loss from iMovie is horrible! I don't feel comfortable using this method.

THANKS soooooo much!!!! Never knew why my full body shots always were off! So glad I searched…The tutorial at the end is such a blessing!!!

Awesome video on Color correction in Videos! Thanks a ton!

Thanks for this tip. I actually knew most of this, and already shoot my self-tapes this way, BUT I did NOT know you could crop a video to portrait mode (or in any other way) on a phone! I usually use Filmora on my laptop for my editing. On my phone I've only ever trimmed for length. So thanks for that awesome bit - it worked perfectly on my Motorola Edge, which is an Android device, so there ya go! :)

Angela DiMarco is smoking hot. She looked good in the movie about the hitman and drug cartel.

I highly recommend the Self-Tape Academy with MTAS. Great information and practice doing what is now the industry standard.

Thanks for checking in; you always have pearls of wisdom for us. I'm still thankful for your 'Editing Audition Videos with iMovie on iPhone TUTORIAL,' and I refer back to it often after making my audition tapes. Will you be updating this video for the new iPhone?

Thank you! Great tip! Just yesterday I had to do the full body slate and complained (to myself!) how to get it right without all the extras on the side of my backdrop - it's not the first time either! Ended up doing a 3/4 slate (up to my knees)...but now I can use your tip to make it happen!

Thanks, David!

Thanks for this! Very helpful information!

Thanks for posting this. I'm just setting up my self tape studio and it was really helpful. Do you have any thoughts on working with a Samsung Galaxy 10s camera? Or is it better to use my EOS 70D. Freshman at this stuff.

I’d like to see a video on breaking down a commercial. Recently had an audition with two opposing wardrobe guidelines. With self taping from home, are people using more props? Thank you for the video! Looking good Mr. Hogan. 😀

Thanks David! Great tips!

You can just turn your dslr 90 degrees too

VERY HELPFUL!!! Thanks David & Angela

Thank you for this video it was so helpful! You have made acting so much better for me and I just started a channel about it!

In iMovie, if you have to use the vertical: after you do the cropping out of the extra headroom in photos, screenshot and crop a square of the background (in this case, the blue), and then you can drag the video above it, so the big black bars around it will be removed and replaced with your background color. Makes it blend much more seamlessly.

Thank you! This was helpful :)

I have a light blue backdrop. Is that ok? Does it matter of what shade of blue it is to audition?

Was that a lavalier mic you used? Would you recommend one? Or do you think that having the script reader's audio captured on the iPhone and the auditioner's audio captured on one of those would be distracting?

Saved my life!!! Now I can do my full body slate without guilt

too bloody complicated

That is so helpful, thank you very much!

Excellent! Thank you!

That intro! 😂

Thanks for the video! I've been doing a lot of self tape auditions lately, and I've finally come to my sense to purchase equipment. I found a site that offers a grid for a few extra dollars. Is that beneficial for self tape auditions, or is that really only a part of the photography world? Thanks!!

...Now, when someone is alone to self tape; we have to use selfie mode to Lock right? Waiting for soft boxes to arrive. My lighting on my last few self tape has not been good. Great tips on here. Thanks

Genuinely helpful. Thanks!

Thanks so much! I’m doing an audition that wants my songs recording my full body... any tips for recording in horizontal mode in a small space?

To make this work right, you'd need the 18" ring light and not have the light shine directly on an individual who is self taping as well as getting separate tripod to mount my iPhone XS Max. Correct?

this is great!! super helpful! what is your opinion on using BOTH soft box (or umbrella lights) and the ring light for selftapes? :)

Thank you so much

Hi, thanks for this video. Cropping a slate on iPhone worked for me but then the final audio of the cropped vid was out of sync when it got exported from iMovie as a final project. Tried it again with the uncropped vid and the audio synced up fine. Any ideas?

Please post the link for the lighting? Thanks :)

Thank you !

This is a great series. Your tip to keep testing your setup...that's real. I can get so lazy but it's really the only way to figure it out!! Thank you for the tips!!

Thank you SOOO much! Subscriber for LIFE!!!! :)
