2 builders who never spoke to each other
Publish at the quality you can produce yourself
Waiting for better gear or better skills only delays the thing that would actually teach you something. Florin Pop recorded his first video on phone earbuds, cleaned it up with a guide he found and edited it in free software. Nathan Barry accepts the ceiling of his own video ability instead of chasing professional production values.
The method
- 01
Publish with the equipment you own and fix the shortcomings in post rather than waiting on gear; free editing software and a tutorial are enough to start.
- 02
Accept the ceiling of your own video skills and ship rather than chasing professional production values.
What it returned
First video recorded with iPhone earbuds, cleaned up using a guide he found, and edited in DaVinci Resolve because it cost nothing.
