- If you've ever wondered how I make my TH-cam videos, you'll love this latest one! I'm pulling back the curtains, turning the camera around, and showing you the behind the scenes of exactly what equipment I use to shoot each episode for my channel.
Do you make TH-cam videos? If so, what camera do you use? (And, if not... what's holding you back from getting started??)

Nice.
Yes please I'd love the next one about planning and getting the shots, I really want to improve the quality of my presentation here on TH-cam so that would be super valuable to me. x
Yes this is important having an outline for your videos can really help bring the audience in and give them the points quick. I actually have shared this on my channel before to help small youtubers. I used to be all over the place and now I have sat down and write out an outline each time.
Hi cr
I'm joining the list here. ) Planning the shots will be really useful.
Thanks to you I finally started my TH-cam channel, with all the information I get from you I was lot more confident about starting 💖

@Catherine Perry I’m so happy that everyone is finally getting to do things they’ve always wanted to start doing during this period.
Good luck wishing you nothing but success on TH-cam
Thank you Gillian for your channel and all the content you are sharing! Today I have released my very first video! My TH-cam adventure has just started!
YES, I'd definitely be interested in seeing a process video!
Your lighting,and setting are excellent
This is just what I needed, only using my phone and have always thought your videos are so pleasing on the eye! Thank you so much 🙏
Good luck on your channel! I know 2020 is going to be a great year for us startup youtubers! keep up the positive vibes!
Liz Brousseau Thank you and same to you! We got this 🙌
This answers my questions about your gear, thank you!
Awesome
Very informative video...thank u for your tips 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
the sony a6400 doesn't have ibs, its the 6600 that does.
I recently got the canon m50, and I really love it! I started up with my phone, now I’m so proud of the progress 💃🏿.
Yes the Canon m50 is soooo good. I actually use nikon cameras on my channel, but when I save a little more I want to get that or the new sony camera. I always recommend on my channel to use what you have at first.
I film fashion videos, lookbooks and everything, I would like to invest into a camera what would you suggest.
I’ll suggest the canon m50. I got it recently and I’m loving it. It’s budget friendly.
Canon m50 is for sure a good camera, that or the new sony that is coming out. I actually use nikon for my channel but I want to get the m50 hopefully soon.
I use Canon 200d (sl2) and I love it. I was inbetween the 200d and m50, but I got 200d.
Sandra Omilo I film the videos myself can I see myself as I film
Catherine Perry thank you i will look in into it
thanks for all of these GREAT tips! I can't wait to apply them
Yes please make that video!!! Thanks for all the info
Wow beautiful work my friend 😊❤️ 😍 thanks for sharing...i like it
It looks amazing camera 😍 🔥
😍
Shouting out to anyone starting their channel, or about to, JUST start! I started with a used camera and NO experience, I just started making content and I am WELL on my way to beating my 1st year goals by MILES! (just crossed 600! yay). START making content and don't compare your growth to others, your people will find you! Sending positive vibes to everyone!
Thanks for the positivity
thanks so much for supporting me! im here to support all genuinely!!!!
Awesome! Just a little bit more tweaks with my lighting and I'll be making a video on my filming setups too!😊😊
Yes. I would love to see the video you are suggesting. This was great info. Thanks!
I've just started practicing filming myself, after watching your videos for a year and peptalking myself to start my dream. Thank you for sharing!
I can't believe you have such amazing lighting for the background with just tree lights. I have watched about 50 lighting videos where no one addressed backlighting and if they did it was with expensive options. I thought I was just doomed to a gloomy background. Thanks for sharing!

Hi Gillian thank you for not only so much important and valid information but also your inspiration! Hope all is going well and you are enjoying your maternity leave. I have recently started a travel vlog and your thoughts in your videos are invaluable to my learning x
Thanks Gillian for your Share good idea
Hi Gillian, I am a big fan of your content, I always enjoy them to grow up my channel, thank you for that
Hi Gillian... Just found your channel and really enjoying you and all the information I am learning. I've decided in the recent past to start a TH-cam Channel in the semi-near future and am sure that what you are sharing is going to be very useful. I have been a professional photojournalist and first published in 1978 and have decided to venture into video. For the past 11 years I have worked and lived on a cruise ship around the world, 82 countries so far. Because of this I needed a compact system and after some research today I bought a Insta360 One R 1 camera system and lights, mic etc. I wanted something small but something with more features than a phone. It has great image stabilization, shots 5k, slo-mo etc. Of course I also have my Nikon D850 ($3500 body) which is a professional camera which also shots videos. Again I wanted to thank you, I have subscribed and looking forward to more of you video and content. I will make one note one this video... you stated Nikon does not have a large following... perhaps with amateur photographers but they have a longer following with professionals. I shot with Canon for a little over 35 years and switched to Nikon for a couple reasons about 5 years ago.... I consider Nikon and Canon comparable and recently Sony is joining the ranks as well...
So glad you mentioned Nikon! I was surprised when you did :) I have the Z6ii for wedding photography and starting to use it for YT.
I love your videos! So much gold in your advice and tips. I just started my channel and only have 114 subs but it's growing everyday and watching your videos has given me great inspiration ❤️
Good luck on your channel! I know 2020 is going to be a great year for us startup youtubers! keep up the positive vibes!
As always, quality videos right here!
Your amazing..i love your videos. Yes please video on how you make a full TH-cam video..your channel is the only educational channel I watch till the end
Great info Gillian! I’m upgrading my setup soon and I’ll definitely be referencing this video!
Congratulations on your adorable baby :) You are such a productivity queen :) I hope you are healthy, well and finding some rest in between all the new-born feels :) Take care xx
thank you, good value, much appreciated
You are my inspiration
Hi Gillian, thanks for sharing this 😍😘😍 I do not have equipments, except my MacBook 😗
I am now up to my 11 videos😍
Any friends to be out there 😚😚😚😚
I definitely want to watch that video!!!
Another brilliant video, thanks! Your tips have had such a huge impact on my channel. I started watching when I relaunched my channel last March (it was dormant with 200 subs) and I just got to 11K subscribers! Thank you so much! PS I hope you are enjoying being a Mummy Of Four too xx
Thanks for this video. I’m currently looking to upgrade my videos with a new camera and computer
Yes! I am very interested in the last statement you made.
Thanx to u i finally started my youtube channel your all videos really help me out
Thanks, I was just shooting a video today and I was thinking why my video shooting is not well, now I know.
Thanks Gillan
Yes I would be interested in how you make your videos and plan them out. I have been subscribed for over a year now. Love your work.
Wow you tube 👍✌🙏
Your videos are really helpful. We really appreciate all that you do to help us grow. We will all hit our goals this year. 🙌🏾
Yes, I would be interested.
Nice set-up! And cute tummy :) love the background in this house with plants and smart idea about tree lights, diffuser and kicker light. Can one use a ring light with an umbrella? (I am not fond of ring effect in the eye) Tatiana
I would love to see how you do a you tube video from the thoughts to the posting.
Hey Gillian! We recently became monetized!!!!! Thanks for your advice along the way!
Gillian, where did you get your white chair? Thanks for sharing.
YES camera settings! Help!
Awesome Content
Great video Gillian. You seem to know your stuff and have a lot of great videos here. I am excited to dive in. I have a Channel and it is something I have come to love, I just get inspired by so many amazing creators. My goal is to help other small TH-camrs grow the right way!
Hi Gillian, very informative video! I found the segment on how you record audio especially helpful ;)
Thank you dear for valuable information ❤️❤️❤️
Nice video
Hey Gillian, Loved your video. Yes I would like to see a video of how you record your video. I subscribed and I am waiting to watch your next video on how you record your videos.
Enjoyed the video, Gillian! Can you also add a link for the Samsung Curved monitor you use?
How is your Youtubing now a few months later. I assume you have a little bundle?
How do you edit your videos?
Also what purse do you carry for that large camera to fit into your purse?
Yes, would like to see how you make the video’s. This was a great video. Thanks.
Yes, totally! A "making of" video would be great!
Very cool set up! Good episode for people to watch to know what to get if they want to invest more in it.
I am always interested :) in tips and tricks
Can you provide exactly what light bulbs you use?
I just started my youtube channel and thank you so much for this information 😊❤️🙏
Congratulations 🎊💕🍾
Great video! I always wanted to know how you record you videos. Thank you! 💌
Loved this video!
I was just thinking about this & I got your video thanks mam
Your TH-cam video qualities are amazing! The quality of my videos aren't so good :( So thank you for sharing! 👍
Yes she always shares some great tips.
I really do need to rethink on my setup.
Still have just my phone and a window and I am looking for a good portable light because all of these soft boxes take too much space. Any recommendations?
I just use a Canon m50 😁
Go forward queen wish you 10M subscribers 💜🌹😘
I love my Nikon Z6. I'm thinking about getting the Nikon Z50 to get a more on the go camera.
Great setup!
Hi Gillian! Great video! I'm an artist and I find trying to figure out a set up for TH-cam to be quite intimidating. Do you have any videos aimed at artists specifically. I do fluid art and I need a setup that will allow me to film over the top of what I am doing. Thanks!
Hi Gillian, I'm a new you tuber and have just got 2000 views in my first 3 months but only 20 subscribers I think I have a long way to go but I have seen plenty of your videos and have learned heaps from you. I have just brought my first ring light (Neewer brand). You put out fantastic informative videos.
Awesome, really love your lab setup,
S2M
I’m only using my iphone XS and using a natural light from my window:) i hope to buy a vlogging camera when the pandemic is over, or when I’m able to visit a store.
Any advice guys where to buy affordable vlogging camera in Toronto, Canada? Thanks..
I enjoy your personality and the enthusiasm you bring to your subject. So congratulations and I wish you all success! However, please note that the Sony A6400 does not have IBIS, and your repeated assurance that it does, and that this was a major reason for your buying and using it, was a bit jarring.
Do you use a teleprompter in your setup?
Is the mic that you recommend wireless or wired and how do you connect to a PC? What software do you use to edit videos?
This is so helpful for smaller channels like mine thank you!
Good luck on your channel! I know 2020 is going to be a great year for us startup youtubers! keep up the positive vibes!
Sounds like you need a gimble, the new DJI OM 4 is amazing for use with smartphone.
Very helpful, well presented, thank you. Did you mention the Windows editing software you use with the gaming pc? I was looking for that.
This video has been very helpful! I actually need to care about my audio and my graphs because I am doing presentation-style videos!
This channel is and will always be my inspiration❤
Current setup:
Camera: IPad
Audio: iPad (lav mic coming soon)
Light: Nautral, ceiling light bulb, lamp
PC: iPad
Great video. I just purchased using your affiliate link. Quick question, which video editing software do you use?
