So sorry I just had to re-upload this! And here my friends is ANOTHER teachable moment, based on a (rookie!) mistake! In the first upload, I was trying to show some of my short-form video content, on TikTok, so I downloaded one of my TikTok videos and popped it in, ONLY it had the TikTok watermark on it, BIG Mistake! The YT Algorithm sees that as "Copyright infringement" and then sends me a Copyright Infringement notice with the message that my video will get less reach because of it (ugh) so after all the work that went into this video, it was worth losing the first 1200 views in order to re-upload it in order to get a wider reach, and therefore hopefully help more people with their food content. Phew OK, take 2! Here we go again LOL!
Loved this video on the "How to..." video. It was entertaining & educational & FUN. Thank You!! Why don't you use clips of the one video you do in the kitchen that you can use for all the other Social Media channels? You're working double and making it hard on yourself.
Here in 2024! This is the YEAR
Thank you for this Beth! I must say, and I feel extremely naive for saying this... but I honestly just wasn't aware that such an intense amount of work went into one single video. Watching as a viewer, it all looks so effortless - but I now realise that therein lies the real skill - the ability to MAKE IT LOOK so effortless! Your work is nothing short of amazing Beth!
Ha! Yes editing is a wonderful thing! No one ever sees the blood, sweat and tears LOL! So glad you enjoyed it! :)
It’s a tremendous amount of work! Yes! Thanks for pointing that out!! 😘
Congratulations on ten years Beth!
I have been following your content quietly for many years, and even after all this time you continue to be a true inspiration for me both as a creator and with all the recipes you share. I didn't know it was possible but I have truly fallen even further in love with your content with your recent long-form videos - from Beth in France to these more behind-the-scenes videos. It just brings another level of warmth and authenticity to your channel that lets me feel even more connected with you as a person.
You are one of the few creators that always leaves me with a smile as I watch your content, in fact this video published right after a 13 hour work shift and I was delighted to have had an entire 40 minute video to unwind with! Your can-do pragmatic yet encouraging spirit is something that really brightens my day especially as a creator myself, and I'm so grateful to have gotten to follow along on your journey.
To many more years of great cooking and thank you again for everything that you do! (I should also add I have tried plenty of your recipes over the years and not one of them has failed me yet!)
Aww this is the sweetest comment ever. Thank you for sharing your warm sentiments. I had to laugh when I read "unwind" with this video LOL! Every time I watched it made me more exhausted ha! You are too sweet ha! Now going to check out your channel! :)
Same!!
I started my channel 3 weeks ago. I never stop searching for information. This is how I found you ❤Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. I will try to do my best and grow my channel🎉
WOW. This video is impressive. I worked in television lighting, shooting and editing my own field productions. What you did here is no easy task. I stand in applause here. Well done Beth, very very very well done.
I love how authentic you are. I love how humble you are. I only found you a year ago and it felt like Christmas. I binged you for about 4 hours on a very rainy Sunday afternoon. I didn't realize at the time your career history of working with your Dad's tv show. I kept telling my family & friends to check you out, "Beth is such a natural and enjoys cooking so much, she makes every recipe look easy to prepare and her channel is so professional for a home cook." Dear Lord, Beth I had no idea all the work you do to film. I feel bad, like I didn't appreciate you and your recipes enough. So, although I don't want to have a TH-cam channel of my own, I absolutely love that you shared this with us. All the best to you, Beth. I'm a forever fan. Also, I really enjoy the recipes you share. I have made so many of them. My son said our dining is so much better since I've tried to cook and bake like you. 😊
Aww bless his heart! Ha! I'm so glad the recipes have been a hit! They are always such a joy to share and I'm so glad they have made their way to your table. Always an honor! And WELCOME! I'm so glad you found me too :)
Well Beth, you are definitely doing something right, because I love your channel. I’ve only found you a couple of years ago, but the beauty is that I get to go back and watch all your old videos. They are all wonderful in my book! Congratulations on 10 amazing years, and here’s to the cookbook and all the other incredible things you have in store🎉❤🤗 Thank you!
Thank you so much! I truly appreciate all the support over the years! It's been a fun journey for sure, and I'm excited for a cookbook project and for the next 10 years to come!
This is a masterclass, a true gift. Thank you Beth for your time and effort to shoot this step-by-step, and all of your other delicious content. Bravo!!
Of course!! My pleasure!! :)
I feel like crying its been 10 years… I have been following you since kin community and you are the best person to go for recipes that are full proof ❤️❤️❤️ when I first watched you I was a uni student n my dad was alive n I made them your recipes :”) now Im alone but you are still here for us. I also followed your garden channel since day one!
I put tape over the “headphone” entry to make 100% sure I don’t plug the mic in the wrong hole. Having to re-record everything is THE WORST!
Congrats on 10 years!!! Time just flies! Your videos are better now than back when you had a crew. You’re doing an excellent job!
I love your message at 15:30 I absolutely agree that TH-cam is a very human centered platform and it’s so fun to share your own personality and take on the world with your audience
Beth, can you imagine I watched this only today, & am so glad I did even if I have no plans whatsoever to start a TH-cam channel because I’m lazy, 😂. I never thought that it takes so much effort and time to shoot a cooking video! And am just amazed at your dedication and passion to produce all these videos, blog, TikTok, wife ( or wifehood?), Motherhood. And I feel I must tell you that I really love your being true to yourself because I can relate as a simple person who doesn’t need to show off. Your recipes are amazing & I have used some of the simple ones to some degree of satisfaction by my girls. Hubby is always appreciative of my effort so… 😂 Thank you so much Beth, looking forward to seeing you more soon - I’d love to see a simple 2024Christmas menu, prepared in the kitchen if your new home in France. By the way I’m in Kuala Lumpur Malaysia, in case you’re wondering😅
Aww I'm so glad you enjoy the videos! Thank you for your sweet comments :). Yes TH-cam videos are work, but they are always such a joy to share, especially when I see what the bring to people's lives. Thanks so much for your support!
Happy anniversary! I've been watching your channel for so many years since back in the KIN days. I hope if you do a cookbook that you also include entertainment design and decor tips. You have such a good eye for details!
Oh yes we'd definitely have to include a few Decor tips as well! I love it! :)
Thank you very much for sharing all your advices!!! You have given me more hopes on making better videos despite the fact that my husband is not supportive.
I do agree that we should only focus on if we have done better than before and if we have learned something from the process. Making videos is actually an interest for me to capture the moments of my life, my garden, and my son that I would like to look back in future. I should do it for fun and for the people we love to watch my videos. 😊
Thank you!
I can't believe it's been ten years!! I've been following you since kins but wow, now I'm married and my first kid over 5 years old. I don't plan on being a food youtuber or photogrpher, but it was great to see the behind the scenes :) feel like I got to know you a bit better and ended up with appreciation on how much effort is being put in a single video. Looking forward to the future videos as well :)
Aww thanks Joyce! Yes, it's definitely a labor of love ha! But a passion, and I think that's what makes the work feel less like work, but more like fun ha! Congrats on your new family! I love the age of 5, that's when you want to freeze them in time :). Cherish these days they go by in a blink (mine are now 12/16 and I keep telling them "Where did those little babies go?!" Thanks so much for all your support over the years! It truly means a lot :)
I've been following your channel since last year but I never get fatigued from your content. You are absolutely right about the fact that there is something just so comforting about your channel and content! I would definitely buy the cookbook!
Oh! Lord!!! So much work! I have a new found admiration for you Beth! I am so grateful for your dedication! I have been following you for quite a few years since I love your approach to food, family, life and now with this video I love your approach to the details it takes to make a great video! En passant j’ai fait la recette puisque nous avions des croissants et j’ai mis des canneberges au lieu des raisins puisqu’ici au Québec nous avons beaucoup de canneberges que l’on peut faire sécher et qui sont délicieuses dans un plat comme celui là!!! Merci mille fois!!! 😊
Hello Beth - Somehow I just stumbled across your channel and this video. With a much smaller channel and slightly fewer years, what a delight watching this video. I'm not sure I learned too much new but, more importantly, I've received confirmation of the so many steps, time and process. Yes, set up takes time but you MUST clean / straighten up the kitchen first. Place the lights, the stands, the tripods. Check the lights, check them again. Turn on the mic, connect the mic. Look for glare, check the framing, check the cameras, don't forget to hit record.
I've found my most successful pattern is to plan to shoot the video across two days. One day for the talking shot, one day for the close-ups. I've tried switching the order and have found it depends on the recipe. And, given my career in tech I suppose, I edit the death out of the videos before I'm happy with them. It's probably overkill but in that sense I aim for perfect imperfection. I probably spend too much time on the edit but that's where I get much of my satisfaction.
Thanks for sharing!
It's so true! I find the editing is the most fun too, and there's an old adage in film editing that goes "Movie editing is never finished, you just decide when to give up on it" LOL! That keeps things in perspective for me! So glad you enjoyed the video!
I've been watching you for years and as a new food content creator this was more useful than you know.
Aww so glad to hear! Best of luck to you!!
Is there a way to give this video 5 stars? I've been watching your channel since you designed and built/grew your garden, loving each video. Whether you're traveling or entertaining, I'm here for all of it. This video is everything! Thank you for all the effort you put into your channel..... it shows. Congratulations on 10 years. Can't wait for your cookbook. :)
Congratulations for those 10 years ! Wow! Very interesting. So much details. So much work. And well made. Love what you do and the fact that you think about people when you cook, not only the food. Well done.
Thanks Manon :). So glad you enjoyed it! Yes, it has been a journey for sure ha!
Thanks for this very informative behind the scene video . All the cynical people who criticize bloggers and you tubers for not doing a real job should watch it and be humbled. I love your channel, style and recipes for their genuine tone. You asked for a comment on the “halo” light- I would keep watching light or no light, I don’t mind the slightly less bright of the no light on your face solution and agree with you that it feels more natural. I absolutely love your videos in your French house which you might shoot with different gear. Thanks a lot for keeping such a fantastic channel .
Beth congratulations on 10 years!!! Wow! I have been watching you since the Kin Community days. After watching this video I appreciate your work so much more!!
Beth vous êtes une femme formidable! The way you tackled the problem with the lockdown and no crew to help you, deciding to do everything by yourself, fabulous! You decided that you can learn and master the job and proved you don’t need to be a young girl to learn new skills, chapeau! So many talents in a single woman! You can be proud of yourself and am sure your husband and family is too. Thanks for all the inspiring hard work, wishing you the very best for your channel in the next 10 years when you will -maybe- have settled down in your lovely house in France. Merci Beth!
Beth, a true successful professional can share her secrets without intimidation. I applaud you and highly respect your work. Great job 👏 Keep doing what you do, we love it. ❤️
At 13.5 minutes, your light is fabulous I confirm that al natural is too dark. I appreciate all your hard work to create the videos we all enjoy so much! Fabulous work!! Thank you for your videos and sharing all your talent. Blessings and 10 more years!🎉
I love how down to earth you are when you explain that it takes time to make the your presentations look effortless, that the process includes learning from your mistakes, and how you should start small and learn the skills yourself. I love your authenticity and quirkiness, and I can't imagine why anyone wouldn't like that about you. You are one of my favorite youtubers because you are an inspiration!!! Keep up the awesome work!!!
Congratulations on hitting the 10 year mark! Looking forward to another 10 years and more!
Thanks for being so amazing! Your videos are so perfect, but I appreciate your content even more after seeing all the work you personally put into making these happen. Huge fan!!
You are so welcome! It's always such a joy to share them!
Congratulations on your 10 year channel anniversary! These hours that it takes to create the content are not noticeable
You make it look so effortlessly. I feel I am standing on the other side of the table and you show only to me how make a dish. It shows that you love what you do.
Where have you been!!!! This is amazing and yes...my problem are the talking part. Producing is fine but the courage for being on camera. You have convinced me...talking to my sister! Loads of love to you and blessings on your work.
Wow! 10 years! Whoo-hoo! Great video!! Thank you for the behind the scenes how-to! Starting a Chanel has been a dream of mine for some time. I am inspired! Big hugs and thank you for stunning content. You are amazing!!
Beth! What a true treasure you are. We just loved watching this behind the scenes story of how these videos are made. You are a talent in the kitchen and with a camera or two or three. Thank you for this outstanding video, one I will not forget for a long time.
Have been loving your videos for all these years! Thankyou for such an in-depth and informative video, i feel like now i have the confidence to shoot a recipe video without the fear of failing.
Hello Ms. Beth! A few years back you made a video on my mother, Seja. I watched the video for the first time yesterday and I'll be honest with you, I cried. So much has changed in the past few years and I found comfort in knowing that my mum's efforts were acknowledged. I just wanted to thank you for being the cause of the nice memories I have with my mother in the kitchen. It really was a life changing banana-bread.
Thank you again.
I love ❤️ videos and I truly believe the social Media should give it a lot more appreciation to your channel after seeing your hardwork.
Thank you so much Beth!! You are very inspiring and I didn't realise how much work, techno and time it takes to film 1 recipe! Wow! Bravo to you! Thank you also for your amazing recipes!
Aww thanks Isabelle! I so appreciate the support! :)
Thank you so much. I’m just about starting my Chocolate and Baking channel and feeling so overwhelmed already. There’s so many things I have to learn from scratch especially about cameras, video shooting techniques, etc. But I thank God that I just discovered your channel. Its so encouraging and helpful for beginners. Thanks again and God Bless
You are so welcome! Yes it can be very intimidating at first, but you will get the hang of it! And just remember every mistake it a teachable moment! I’ve learned more about cameras,audio,lighting from all the mistakes I’ve made! And its fun to look back months or years later and see how far you’ve come!!
So so so happy to have found your channel Beth. Thank you for all you do to bring us these « food gifts ».
Cant wait to watch this next week after work cant wait to make your recipes soon for me
Not too bright at all. Looks great. Must on the lights. Beth, did an amazing job learning photography as a food chef. I'm a photographer and you have learned and created such beautiful work. I love your videos. I love to entertain and plan events so I especially loved the hosting party for your husband.
You are amazingly talented Beth and hard working and you inspire people with your bubbly enthusiasm and your skills!!! Thank you 🙏 for teaching us so much!
You are so welcome! It's been my pleasure! :)
Invaluable, thank you so much for creating this video. I am planning on starting a cooking channel myself and I really needed to see this to start to understand the mammoth effort it is going to take. Thank you again and keep up the great work.
I just love your videos. And I love this one in particular because I thought filming a TH-cam video is to much complicated. But I love all your videos
I love what you do! It was so interesting to watch your process. I must say, I too, was very naive and had no idea how much work goes into one video! Your work is beautiful
You’re amazing, Beth! Thanks for all the great tips and for the advice about being kind to yourself. Keep up the great work and thanks for being such an authentic and cool person!!! 😍
I was exhausted watching this! I had NO IDEA!!! I’ve ALWAYS loved your videos and thought you were the absolute best on YT and now I know why!
I absolutely loved this video, such amazing tips! I’m trying to improve my channel and wanted to find a step by step guide for filming and your video is the only one I’ve found that really broke it down well! Thank you so much.❤😊
Thanks and congrats 🎉 it’s so much work thanks for showing it in your Beth style, simple, logical and always with style. And you hubby is so cute ! You make it all look easier than it is ! I’m so excited to buy your book one day 😊
Aww isn't he cute ha! I had to laugh when he says "The lighting is bright because of my white T-Shirt" LOL! Bless his heart ha!
YES! We love what you do! Congratulations on 10 years! Sante' to the next ten! And yes, Yes, YES! To a cookbook!
Aww thank you!! Yes cookbook on its way!
Hello Beth. Thank you for this video. Behind every success video is a messy place, hard work, consistent effort, and a lot more. I have learned many things from you just by watching this video. for sure I will be watching more videos of you in the next days. take care. thanks again.
Aww thanks for that, and yes SO true! Always lots of hard work to make anything "happen" so glad you enjoyed the video and that the info was helpful!
❤
Regarding lighting, in movies it’s done to fit the tone of the subject. Bright and cheery would represent breakfast, summer, spring. Dark, Warm and cozy is autumn, holiday seasons. That’s something I don’t see much in cooking videos. Like show us what it looks like to cook when that Southern California sunset 🌅 approaches.
Also, I enjoyed the ambience for birthday dinner party you did, that was pure outdoor cozy summer nights fantasy. Truly reminded of the one in Chocolat 😌 I would love to do all of that💯.
so much congratulations, beth!! can’t believe i’ve followed you for a decade!! you have changed my life. i used to have no interest in cooking or baking, but i wanted to be able to care for my loved ones. i found your channel and it INVIGORATED me. i actually felt excited to cook because i wanted to taste and create the stuff you’re making! my first success was your banana bread, a classic. you have given me so much confidence. i have been able to feed my family and gift friends baked goods using your recipes. i love watching you and connecting with you because you are clearly such a sweet and genuine soul. you are a quality human being and i want to become more like you! you are one of the creators that my husband knows as if you are an actual friend lol! bless you, beth!!!!!!❤❤❤
Congratulations on 10 years of sharing your love of family and food with all of us. You are a treasure.
Aww thank you :). So glad you enjoy! :)
You are a very thoughtful producer! I am a huge fan of your channel and I watch your videos in repeat sometimes. Thank you so much for being here!
Thank you so much for this video, it is very inspiring. You put a lot of work. I couldn't that. So 👏👏👏🥰
Thank you so very much for this video. I am going to watch it over and over. I have been playing around with you tube and then January of this year 2023 i got serious and began posting 1 video a week. I am 58, work full time from home in a corporate position - a RN by training and will be retiring in about 6-7 years and goal is to have a business through TH-cam that is profitable. Before January I had never videoed anything in. my life or edited anything ! We moved from the city to the country and I decided to start videoing all of the items that I was having to learn how to cook and videos about how to set up your kitchen /pantry etc. I have had a HUGE learning curve but am loving every minute of it. I am a super tiny channel. 425 Subs and 52,000 views and only 50 videos and a few shorts that I did for fun. I am only using my phone and a ring light. I learned soooooooo much from your video tonight. I know i need to go get a camera and another light source-- it is not the money holding me back -- it is the fear of learning how to use it all l-- but I need to just bite the bullet so that I can get much better. Right now I just still feel like i am barely growing. i just admire what you have done so much and hope that I can grow up in my You Tube life to be half as good as you. Thank you so much for sharing. Your video has really helped me.
Thank you so very much for taking the time to explain all of your advice and how you do things for your channel....it was super fun and educational. I took a lot of notes and I'm sure I will rewatch it a few times. Such golden nuggets!! Thx thx thx! You are a blessing!!!
You are so welcome! And yes, come back and review once you start shooting a bunch because then it starts to make even more sense! I've done that with photography webinars. I watch it, then a few months later I watch it again,. and because I've been practicing it's like I understand a second level of it, the next time around ha!
Thank you for inviting us to see your day. It makes me appreciate all you put into your lovely shoots. Thanks!
😂When you were explaining the close segment, I almost shut off the vid because I forgot I was watching a flashback/replay explaining everything 😂🤣🤦🏽♀️
Lol! Hilarious!
Wow! Thanks for sharing, I have a better appreciation for the effort involved in creating content for YT and social media in general.
Thank you sooo much for uploading this video! I've been wanting to do food content creation on TH-cam, Instagram, and TikTok, but I was very intimidated! I have most of the items to shoot except for a ring, a microphone, and a few boards. I'll get those and start my YT video journey! Thank you Beth!!!
Perfect! See you are half way there! Best of luck to you! Anything gets easier the more you do it! :)
Happy 10 years❣️ I've always loved your channel, been watching for a long time, been a fan of yours for a long time. You might remember me chasing you down at the Home Show a several years ago. You are my inspiration for my TH-cam channel GreenOlive Cooking. Thank you for continuing to inspire us through your video creations, your recipes, and your great smile 😊
Ha! Oh yes Lucia I remember! How are you?! I remember you also had a business in Housewares of some kind? Are you doing YT full-time now? I just made sure I was subscribed and love your intro video! So cute! And reminds me of my Italian relatives! :)
Such an interesting and very informative behind the scenes look at how everything is done. I've always wondered how creators do it and whew!!! there is a whole LOT of work that goes on in producing videos than I thought. The fact you're a one woman team and had to learn how to do it all on your own is amazing on every level (especially as you're not a teenie bopper where tech and such comes easy). Congratulations on 10 years - so well deserved!!
Thank you Beth, I am thinking of starting to do some videos and it's ...scary...😩 but seeing you and hearing your encouraging words it helps a lot.🙂
Aww so glad to hear that! It's definitely a learning curve, and we all experience our own ups and downs, but trust me you can do it!! Like anything in life, if there is a will, there's a way! :) Best of luck to you!!
So nice to find a presenter who is good and gets on with the message. I will follow what you do. All the best with your future videos which I will more than likely enjoy.
I just wanted you to know that you are one of the food content creators that I've been looking up to when I started baking 5 years ago. Now I am baking for a side hustle.Thank you and Congratulations on your 10th year anniversary🎉❤
Thank you Beth, this is by far the best how-to I’ve come across. Really appreciate it.
Aww you bet! I'm so happy it was helpful! Best of luck to you! DREAM BIG!
You continue to amaze. How nice of you to share all this info! I don’t make cooking videos. I make soap, candles, etc. this is helpful for me. I haven’t made any videos. Some day! Thanks! Congrats on 10 years!!
You totally should! Video is such a great way to get your message across, who knows it could be great for your business! :)
Wow, Beth, I am in the early stage of creating my food channel and so far, you have shared so much great and useful information. Thank you. For right now, I only have my cell phone (not an iPhone) and a small microphone. Who knows, maybe you can create a how-to using only a camera in the future. Anyway, I am super impressed by what you do, and I can only strive to do as well as you eventually. 😊
Beth, don’t ever change! You’re amazing! Thoroughly enjoyed this video. And such a nice little visit from your husband, too! George is so sweet.
This is by far the best video I have ever watched on TH-cam! I love how you explained everything in so much detail and how authentic you are as a person! Thank you for your hard work!
This is the cooking videography bible!!! Thank you for sharing this. Pure Gold!!!!!
You are such a blessing, Beth! I love your videos and their content! Thanks for sharing all you do!
I loved and enjoyed this entire video, it’s been so educational and I’ve taken so many notes, thank you so much for all your effort, time and energy that you put into this. I didn’t realize how much goes into these. I am an aspiring content creator for a cooking channel , I’ve created so many recipes and have already recorded them but I am so excited of what my progress will look like over time in set up and so forth. I really enjoyed watching this, I felt like I was in the kitchen with you, it was so personable and I loved that. Thanks for your input.
Hi Beth! 🤗 I have to say that you inspired me so much! I absolutely love your work and I have been your fan for years! Your recipes are the best and what I love the most about you is that you share everything without asking anything back! This video is going to help me so much with my recent project (TH-cam 😅). I really appreciate you sharing your knowledge Beth! ❤
Beth, I love what you do. You’re so personable and real. Your recipes and how you share the cooking and how you present them to your guests give us wonderful ideas for our own entertaining. I am not a video creator and never will be but I enjoyed watching how you do things. You’re very generous to share this with other food vloggers. 👍 Beth!
Well, your videos are great, you do such a great job, I cannot tell you how much I enjoyed them…keep up your excellent work! I hope I see you in LA one of these days…I think we probably live near based on the places you shop sometimes…lol🥰
“Love what you do” Beth…You make what you do so relatable. I only discovered your Chanel about a month ago so am new to the party. Tried out your pork spare ribs recipe on the family and it was a big hit. Congratulations on 10 years. Hope you buy that restaurant in France, I’d love to follow your journey on that too. Thanks for sharing your many talents with us out here in audience land. BTW what breed of dog is Charlie? He’s so cute!
Beth, I just found your videos yesterday, and I LOVE your content. You’re informative, kind, considerate and give really usable content. So far you’re the only YT’ber I’ve found that includes a menu AND a game plan. I’ve been looking for years and so glad I finally found you! Thank you so much for all your hard work, and for sharing such great content with us!
Beth I have been watching you since day one , and loved you the very first video♥️ I actually like the videos you have done yourself more so than when you use to have a crew. Also I like both the ring light and the other light on. It makes things look bright and clean. I adore you and all you’ve shared with us! Thank you for being real and just you !
Yours is my favorite channel of all time. Thank you for being you and doing what you do. It’s inspiring, uplifting and educational for us all.
Thank you so much Beth. This was amazing. I am starting a Podcast with New Orleans Chefs (that include cooking video when possible) and your video was so informative. Wish me luck....just when I had the food photography kind of understood, now I'm tackling video! haha Best wishes! I have subscribed and will be watching keenly! Cheers!
Thank you so much for making this video! I find it really helpful. Love your style of talking. So down-to-earth and super fun!
Oh My Goodness! Thank you so much for sharing your "behind the scenes" video production. You're attention to detail and going the extra mile .."doing it right"...to create these videos is so inspiring. Happy 10 Years!!!! I appreciate your time, and creative energy it takes creating these videos. Just wonderful and fabulous information. Thank you so much! Love your channel, your sweet self and precious Georgie.
Love this! Thank you so much for doing this tutorial. It's been super helpful to see a behind the scenes look at your whole process. I already ordered a few things through your links. The lighting and camera set up are going to be so helpful. Thanks so much Beth. Best to you!
I have learned so much from you, and thank you so much for sharing your 10 years top tips. I am just about to do cooking livestreaming show soon on Rumble and TH-cam. At the moment, I have been doing livestreaming cooking on Gettr.
Very informative video... thanks for all the great videos beth..... Well done .... Congratulations on the accomplishments
I am so surprised by how much work goes into each video! No wonder your content is so fantastic!
This was so fascinating. I love these videos when you talk about how you plan and do things.
Thank you! I will be one of those new Channels!! Thank you! I am starting at 58!!! I love to cook and have put this off for so, so long!! Thank you Beth!!
I really loved this video and watch it over and over. I am a new food content creator and these tips are so helpful!! Thank you! You also have a beautiful home!
Aww thank you! I'm so glad it has been helpful! Yes, I miss that home :). it was lovely. We recently sold it and moved to France! (Which has been fun too!) Best of luck to you!!
@ thank you so very much! And I hope you have a wonderful life in France 🥰
Congratulations on 10 years. Big accomplishment. I like the lighting with both lights. No shadows. Thank you.
I really appreciate all the work you put into your videos I had no idea how much goes it to it. I love your channel I found it about a year ago and I look forward to Saturdays to see the new videos I think they are so well done. Yes! please write a cookbook.
Love your channel Beth! ❤ definitely lights!
Thank you for all your hard work. Congratulations on 10 years 👏🙌❤
"Bad mistakes are good mistakes" is fantastic advice. I made the same mistake of recording a whole video with no audio but now that lesson is seared into my mind. Im sure Ive heard that you need to check your audio before recording 100x but actually making that mistake and having to reshoot made the lesson unforgettable. Thank you for all the wonderful advice!
Exactly! There is nothing like a production snafu to teach you a great lesson ha! As painful as it is, you will never do it again ha! So glad you enjoyed the video!
I had to interrupt viewing this remarkable (as always) video to express my admiration and appreciation for you. You are absolutely phenomenal and a real help in every way. Thank you.
I LOVE WHAT YOU DO!
Congratulations on your 10 years. You are a natural, you brighten my day and inspire me to make your yummy dishes. 😍
Your hard work definitely produces superior videos, which are beautiful and a pleasure to watch. I love your recipes and have made many. Hope you continue at least another ten years!
Thanks a bunch for doing this video! It was so interesting to watch how much real labor and time goes into one of your cooking videos - especially as your videos are fun and entertaining and look so effortless. It proves, being a TH-camr (or social media creator) is indeed a real job. And that it needs some serious skills, equipment but also the constant willingness/ambition to learn and grow if one likes to turn a hobby into a fulltime job.
I would love you creating more videos like this which gives us a 'behind the scenes' look now and than.
Congratulation on 10 years of great recipes, great effort and great results. I love your channel. Thank you very much for this video. It is so fascinating .
