A day in the life filming YouTube videos

Introduction

6:30 a.m. is my favorite time of day to start filming YouTube classes. Yesterday, I took the time to calculate how many classes I need to film before winter approaches. For me, there’s nothing quite as motivating as seeing all my goals laid out in front of me. Today, I’m excited to take you along to one of my favorite filming spots.

When I arrive at this location and find that I’m the only one there, the stillness envelops me, and I can truly appreciate it. This is why I love being a morning person. There’s something special about filming in solitude. While filming alone can feel overwhelming at times, I find the process works well for me. I love waking up, grabbing my equipment, and heading out to create content.

I chose to revisit one of my usual spots because familiarity helps when I'm short on time. Filming outdoors means I have to be ready for the unexpected. The lighting can vary, the wind might become an issue, or there could be unexpected background noise. Hence, I’m hoping for good conditions today.

Once I have all my camera gear set up, I take a few moments to warm up and immerse myself in the environment. This helps me to relax before the cameras start rolling. After a couple of rounds of sun salutations, I feel ready, and I can go ahead and get miked up for filming.
