What camera
can I use?
Any recording device (e.g.
cellphone, webcam, or
videocam) can be used.
Make sure you have a stable
set-up for your recording
device (e.g. tripod, clamps or
tabletop).
What lighting
can I use?
You can use either natural
light or artificial light (e.g.
ring light, LED lighting, desk
lamp, home lights, etc.).
What audio
can I use?
You can use your earphones
with built-in mics, ear buds
or a microphone. No
headphones because this
will not be pleasant to look
at.

This is the most sensitive

equipment for the DIY
shoot. Please ensure that
you have the proper audio
device on hand.
