This was refreshing to see amazing work done with such simple and easy equipment, Thank you for your honesty, this will help and inspire a lot of people.
Minnie Small · SemiSkimmedMin You're very welcome, I've been following your channel because even though I'm not doing similar things I find great attachment to your creative ideas. All the best for you and the channel!
This is so encouraging/enlightening...the fact that we could technically start with what we have, not waiting until we have the right equipment. “Just do it”❣️✨
The selfie stick set up was cheaper than the alternative I was looking at doing. This is also helping me with my live stream set ups on twitch, and I'm so thankful I stumbled upon this video!!!!
Great tips! I've just started making art youtube videos and didn't realise how annoying the camera cutoff time would be. Mine stops every 20 mins so it's better than 10, but I still miss it sometimes and chunks of my speed paintings are missing :( Great job though - loved watching this
Apparently the recording limit was set by the EU to differentiate between digital (still) cameras and digital (video) cameras so that different import tariffs could be applied. www.tested.com/tech/photography/44445-why-digital-cameras-have-a-30-minute-video-recording-limit/ As far as I can work out aspirations to apply WTO rules (no discriminatory taxes/duties) instead of EU rules still have not been achieved.
Oh my goodness! Thank you so much for making this video! You have unlocked so many mysteries for me. I had so much trouble trying to make my first video that I ended up taking photos to make a stop-motion video. I absolutely love these tips and can't wait to use them for making my next video... which I was putting off because making the first one was so draining! 😂👍❤️
Would it be possible to make an updated version of this ? maybe talk about your new cameras , tips or so on shooting , I love your videos and your style is so clean!
I've only just come across your videos ... they're amazing, this particular one especially as it gives really good instructions from an artist's point of view about filming work as you go. A very big thank you. I hope you're still making videos.
This seems to be the most practical and affordable way that anyone could try. Thanks so much for sharing selfie bar idea and also utilising a normal tripod!
Thanks very much! I'm trying to do some videos of handwriting on my desk with a fountain pen. I particularly liked your suggestion of leaning the tripod and weighting down or tying down the back, longer leg. Plus, your suggestion of anchoring a selfie stick in a bucket using a blanket or towel is brilliant. Thanks again. - Christopher
Thank you so much for sharing these tips with us. I feel like a lot of people who post art videos on youtube keep their filming techniques a secret, or don't think to make a video about them.
I also use my iPhone and selfie stick to do my videos. I have a shelf above my station that I’m able to prop the phone onto that overlooks my art. I just struggle with lighting so really looking at investing in a good light that will give me consistent lighting for my videos. Thank you so much for sharing the towel in a bucket idea though. That’s so clever!
Oh my gosh, this video is super helpful! I want to start my own art channel, as a way of setting myself goals, encouraging me to draw and paint every day etc, but at the moment I'm unemployed, so I was at a loss for how to record. I'm glad you shared the tip about the selfie stick, and the phone camera :D
thank you for doing this...... and for speaking in a calm clear way(unfortunately lots of people DONT do this). Thanks also for sharing a lot of useful ideas and tips !!
This is really helpful. Thank you. I'd love to see an updated version of this, to see what camera you are now using, and what you use to edit your videos. Thanks :)
I love the simplicity of your equipment and the results are fantastic! Thank you so much for sharing this, i really wanted to start filming but was worried of not having enough money to buy equipment but i will give it a go with the things i already have!
thank you so much for this video. i've had a big motivation to upload videos for so so so so long but the only thing that kept me from it was: how am i going to film them? the selfie stick idea was clever. thank you for this.
I used my cellphone and a tripod and it’s working great. I really like your lighting tips, I think I will get one of those to make my work space brighter😃
great ideas, love the bank as an anchor! an old small pillow/clothe bag filled with pebbles/sand works great as a counter weight as well and its cheap. I've even used bungee straps and even canoe tie-downs to hold a tripod steady, any port in a storm, right !
This was really well produced MInnie! This is the first time I saw a video of yours and and I appreciated that you just got to the point and had helpful information, much appreciated!
Thank you for this video! I know this is four years old but I am SOOOOOO gratful I found this today! I thought I was crazy-like there was a some magic formula for setting up a time lapse video that every professional artist out there understood. It's all trial and error!- now I know. Again, thank you, and I'm keen to follow your progression as a fellow artist. Thank you for sharing.
Such a great video! One thing what anyone can learn from this video is that we don't need a costly set up to be successful. Thanks a lot for this video 😊
Ngl, the idea of using reverse-wrapping paper as a blank floor space is a BRILLIANT idea as most of us have a least that much wrapping paper left over from Christmas! :D thanks so much!
you saved my life right now. I needed to find this video! lol. I'm on my way to get these things and begin recording my art videos. thank you so so much!!
Hi Minnie, as an art photographer, thought I would give you some items you can buy to help with supporting items. 1) magic arms 2) clamps 3) sand bags - to hold a tripod steady (place on leg or in center column in needed. these items are inexpensive, go to a camera store and you should be able to obtain them dirt cheap.
This blows my mind. I love your inventiveness. You've achieved what others have used expensive equipment for using basic things you own. Very inspiring. I'm sure you've got other equipment now, but this goes to show that you're a true creative! 👏👏👏👏
Thank you 😊😊 and welcome to my channel! Lovely to have you! I might make an updated version of this video soon; I’ve changed my setup but it’s still pretty diy lol
Without doubt one of the best and clearest videos I have found here. Excellent job and thanks so much for doing this.......I really haven't got a clue about any of this and now I have some idea where to start, Thank you!!!
Immensely helpful and practical across many different use cases. Much cheaper than most approaches you see on YT today where dudes are trying to get you to buy a C-stand, monitor, sandbag, and new mirrorless camera all just to get a vertical shot. Thanks for posting!
Hello there :) Thanks for your video, i'm an TH-cam artist for almost 4 years now and i have always had struggles with lighting, so i will definitely check out the lamp :D ♥
From what I can assume, your channel includes your art. Based on this video, I felt it necessary to subscribe. I love the smoothness of this video. Very nice editing, imho. All of the elements mesh really well together. Love it!
Such a lovely video, and wow, I thought you use a separate mic for your voice-over! But thank you so much for the insight, and you do a great job with the volume of your voice, it is rather soothing :D
Thank you so much. Im still struggling with my videos, I still cant find a way to get the angles I want. Your video has helped me a lot giving me new ideas to try.
OMG THE SELFIE STICK IDEA IS SOOOO COOL 😱😍😍😍😍😍 I saw a lot of overboard camera stands but i hesitate to biy because they came from China they may be low quality. I would try that selfie stick DYI.😊❤
This video is very useful and informative I like the all the way how you record your videos tips and tricks I am also always can I shoot my most of the video with the tripod I similar way
Was planning to buy those phone/camera holders for my art/drawing videos and I came accross ur post. that selfie stick hack is fab! definitely trying that! Ghad! u made me save a fortune! thanks
This is really helpful! i always have problems with getting my workspace bright enough for filming, maybe its time for one of those lights, thank you! :D
i just thought of buying a tripod for my dslr, but when it comes to the selfie stick, i think its way better for me to start with a phone first. thank you for sharing this 😊😊
Aha! Found you! I saw one of your watercolor videos a few months ago and forgot to sub. I like to watch other artists's videos during breakfast as a way to inspire my own creativity for the day. Glad I found you.
lovely video :) If your video is stopping automatically then you need to change your SD card, It is important to see speed classification, best to have 10 or more :)
That was really helpful. I subscribed to your channel some weeks ago and now I can't stop watching your videos. I really find it very interesting because of its content. Also, your way of filming/editing is very dynamic but soft to the eye. Congrats on your awesome work and thanks for the inspiration! (I'll probably end up making art-videos too, so thank you for your tips!)
the selfie stick idea was sooo smart
:D hehe i'm glad you think so
it was such a useful idea!! its how im filming my videos now and i would never have thought about it without seeing this!! thank you!!
Agree, I think it was really smart the way Minnie Small did the selfie stick
thats true

Great video Minnie, this will inspire some future videos for me.
This has given me some great ideas to switch around my filming! Thanks for sharing. Soooo helpful! (and subscribed
I'm glad to help! Thanks for watching 😊
Ya thanks for your video, especially setup part
OMG HEYYYYYY
Girl, you're amazing! The only person so far who showed how to get around just using the tripod
how did i never think of just using something heavy to weigh down the tripod to get shots like this?! brilliant! thank you so much!
I love this it’s so practical for someone just starting out and doesn’t have a lot to spend on gear thank you so much
I've checked out a few videos on overhead filming and yours is the most straightforward. Thanks so much!
The selfie stick set up was cheaper than the alternative I was looking at doing. This is also helping me with my live stream set ups on twitch, and I'm so thankful I stumbled upon this video!!!!
Great tips! I've just started making art youtube videos and didn't realise how annoying the camera cutoff time would be. Mine stops every 20 mins so it's better than 10, but I still miss it sometimes and chunks of my speed paintings are missing :( Great job though - loved watching this
Thanks for watching! There's nothing worse than checking your camera and realising it's not recording anymore!!
Apparently the recording limit was set by the EU to differentiate between digital (still) cameras and digital (video) cameras so that different import tariffs could be applied. www.tested.com/tech/photography/44445-why-digital-cameras-have-a-30-minute-video-recording-limit/ As far as I can work out aspirations to apply WTO rules (no discriminatory taxes/duties) instead of EU rules still have not been achieved.
Me too, my canon turns off after 12mim, so annoying. Thinking about getting a cam recorder!
Same tooo thak you so much minnie❤
Thankfully mine beeps at me when it cuts off so I can catch it with minimal interruption.

I like how creative you are in securing the tripod and selfie stick... I like simple and effective ideas... well done!
I've only just come across your videos ... they're amazing, this particular one especially as it gives really good instructions from an artist's point of view about filming work as you go. A very big thank you. I hope you're still making videos.

Hi Minnie, as an art photographer, thought I would give you some items you can buy to help with supporting items.
1) magic arms
2) clamps
3) sand bags - to hold a tripod steady (place on leg or in center column in needed.
these items are inexpensive, go to a camera store and you should be able to obtain them dirt cheap.
OMG Your selfie stick idea actually saved my life
This is the most useful video I've found on filming your drawings! Thank you.
