How can I make overhead cooking videos?
Overhead style recipe videos are a fun and popular way to share recipes. They are characterized by quick, overhead video footage demonstrating a recipe, typically set to fun music or narrated. Here are some tips for making your own overhead recipe videos: Overhead Angle – Whether you are using a DSLR camera or your phone, you will need a tripod that has the ability to hold your camera horizontally over your work surface while you film to achieve the overhead angle. Close-up/Side Angle – While this style of recipe video sticks mostly with overhead angles, there are often occasional close-ups or side angles to break up the overhead footage. These angles can be shot with a second camera set off to the side or simply by moving your first camera down or zooming in during certain points of the recipe process. Speed – There are a variety of platforms on which to share your recipe videos, and some have limits to the length of the video. Consider speeding up your video to keep a snappy feel and move the viewer through the recipe without focusing on some of the longer, more monotonous steps.
