6 Different Ways to Film Your Desk From Above

[@HimisArtesia]

The holder your dad made is genius! Thank you for the tips.

[@JelArts]

I still use it to this day!

[@ArtWithEmm]

I know this video is VERY old at this point, but thank you! I've been struggling to find a good way to film my desk and this has really helped! :)

[@RelicsOfRaptorsGaming]

The setup with the wood mounted to the wall is genius!

[@SusieQ711]

Maybe you should get your dad to take orders and sell these. Bet he'd get a lot of orders. He did a great job.

[@gracelowe4090]

@@charitysketches me too!

[@EdwardADIYS]

I would buy one also

[@Vladyyy]

Smart idea. You’re so right too!

[@iheartthecolorpink]

Yaassss

[@HimisArtesia]

ikr!

[@hazynotes2150]

I have another great inexpensive way! You take any small bin or even a cubed shaped napkin box (which is what I use) and then a selfie stick and a phone. You wrap the handle of the selfie stick in a tshirt of towel then stick it in the bin/box and it will stand upright. From there, attatch your phone to the selfie stick and adjust the angle to an aeriel shot! Hope this helps.

[@goldenchocolate8572]

I'll try it thanks a lot for sharing

[@reaverkai]

Cool idea

[@mina0rahman]

I don't even have a selfie stick. What else can I use?

[@craftlikenobodyswatching]

Elastics around phone and some sort of pole. long ruler, wooden dowel@@mina0rahman

[@aimmyarrowshigh]

Thank you SO MUCH for this! Your setups and explanations are so much more useful and "real world" than all of the "easy DIY setup!" tutorials that actually cost like, thousands of dollars. Also your art is so cute and beautiful!

[@Leewheeee]

Thank youuuuu!! this is really helpful since everytime I've ever tried to record a video, I always make some wobbling contraption that's somehow angled at my artwork which is really dangerous 😂 soooo...

[@JelArts]

Haha, hopefully this will help you make things more stable!

[@thegirlandthepencil7439]

You don even want to see my contraption... it involves ALOT of duct tape, a phone camera, a chandelier, and a ruler ;-;

[@amazingdiys625]

DooodleKnight would you wanna help a beginner youtuber.We can help each other

[@DANISHAFRIDI]

Thank you so much Really helpful video

[@danielb.6643]

I recommend drilling hooks into your ceiling and then suspending a wooden board down over your art with string however low you want it. Then drill a hole through for the camera lenses and now you have a perfect setup that is up and out of your way.

[@stephc5983]

Ahh that’s so nice of him to make the wall mount system for you. He obviously has experience. Lucky girl!TFS

[@ariafelis6062]

Wow! Really useful and attainable solutions. Thanks so much! Your dad is very skilled!

[@craftcozychronicles]

I absolutely love what your dad built you!

[@NanetteStein]

This was great!! Thanks so much and great job!!

[@emmadonaghyart1954]

Thank you so much for uploading this video! Your information was extremely helpful....truly, you helped me a lot. I haven't uploaded anything yet because of not being sure how to set up my camera....and still be able to draw comfortably. I too put my face really close to the paper when doing little itty bitty details! Thank you again :-)

[@DaniaMihaela]

What did she put the camera on at the first one ??

[@johannagomez235]

Thanks. Your video is very helpful!

[@16maze]

This video is the embodiment of improvise. Adapt. Overcome

[@JuJuCrafts]

Several good ideas thank you

[@olivianeukam5636]

Thank you so much! I just need a one-time setup so the pencil holder one will be great!

[@chardaecraig7308]

Great tips thank you!

[@PsychedelicChameleon]

That rig your Dad made for you is Great!

[@ranaecooper2329]

Very helpful thank you and kudos to your dad!!!

[@ASMRyvette]

This was great!! Thank you!!

[@runningrabbitsart4308]

Just wanted to say thank you because this video was a BIG help. I know I already commented on this video before (using my jhjjhg1 account) but that was before I actually recorded anything using this method, haha. For now I have to set up my tripod to the side until I can build a lovely little contraption like yours, but so far so good!

[@JelArts]

I'm so glad it helped you! Good luck with filming!

[@kimsilly29]

THANK YOUUUU THE OTHER VIDEOS WERE CONFUSING BUT BY THE LOOKS OF IT THIS WILL HELP ME A LOTTT

[@JelArts]

Angel Star haha I'm glad you find it helpful!

[@sarahsh777]

THANKYOU so much for doing this! You’re a 🌟

[@heidicook2211]

Thank you so much for these suggestions!

[@jhjjhg1]

Super helpful! I'll definitely need to try to make something like your first method, since it seems like the most efficient and my desk also leans against a wall like yours.

[@JelArts]

jhjjhg1 It's very convenient! I would totally recommend it.

[@IzzynStuff]

And this is the exact video I wanted to look up but when I looked into my sub thing I saw this 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 bless you

[@hopelessromantic7211]

THANK YOU for this! I was actually struggling how to start and it felt I was so limited to what to do! this really does help!

[@AbcDef-fk8kk]

[@nicolesahan4807]

I've been looking for such a guide for days... I'm looking for which light is the best when filming from the side

[@shtreberka3642]

Thanks, this was a big help!

[@zahre_mar]

Oh I wish you could have seen me yesterday, fighting with a tripod. It's been a challenge to affix my phone in a manner that does not film the actual legs of the tripod. I failed hard.

[@Fergiebtz]

Haha happens to me all the time

[@pickle5315]

Thank you! My speed drawing videos will continue! 😁

[@Utopia]

[@ElwingCelebrindal]

Thank you for the tips

[@andrewbyers1555]

That things sick

[@cazumbandoartmaddy1728]

I have a bookshelf that is only a rectangle that protudes from the wall and is over my desk, so I can stick in a selfie stick between the books and get the better angle, I just tried filming once but it went well! I just need to edit from now on in case it films upside down :)

[@fatmaal_knderi8603]

Thank you for sharing

[@SYLEWO]

Wow, mind blowing ideas, thanks a lot. Hope my unboxing video will improve using these tips !

[@SV-2277]

Your presentation is really crisp and clear . Now I have some view how to shoot overhead video shot. One request please in your video presentation you used camera may I know the model so that I will plan to buy. For now I am using mobile however quality is not that good. So if you tell model and if it's effortable then will go ahead. Plz let me know the model and make.

[@mezza001]

Thk u for these suggestions. Am looking for some sort of a tripod extension for my tripod to film overhead like what you are doing now.

[@Kanjas19]

Thank you for this video. Helped me getting my mind around how I would set up my desk :)

[@SpiritStarCity]

OMG this was SO helpful!

[@SpiritStarCity]

Thank you! :3

[@JelArts]

Thanks! I'm glad it helped!

[@SpiritStarCity]

I've actually been wondering how artist did that because I've been wanting to give speed draws a try. I'm gonna do it! xD

[@mackenzieonyx7586]

[@Nefkacolor]

YES YES YES Thank u so much! I must try this!

[@JelArts]

Nefka color show I'm glad you found it helpful!

[@2sturdyslumped333]

Im making a youtube channel and i wanna draw im getting a camera but i dont know how to put all the stuff in the camera into my phone or my tablet so thats my problem

[@kudayt7841]

Mad Af put an sd card in your camera and save the videos to the card, then remove the card and place it in your phone or tablet. Then you can access the videos and photos on your phone/tablet to upload them to youtube

[@s0lbrite]

Thank you! This was super helpful because I have never filmed myself drawing, and I said that I would on Music.ly. So thank you!

[@martearty922]

this was really helpful!

[@beecurious5435]

youre a saver!

[@ScotCampbellwindowpainter]

Very cool set up. I need to use better lights too, mine always come out so yellow.

[@JelArts]

If your lights are yellow, try white balancing your camera (unless you're using a phone, some phone cameras can't white balance). I used to use many different temperatures of lights (2 warm and 1 cool, haha), but after white balancing, everything looks more natural on the camera screen.

[@ScotCampbellwindowpainter]

Thanks. Yeah I was looking at my camcorder trying to figure it out, I need to take the time and make it work for best lighting.

[@bffdolls7667]

Scot Campbell to avoid the yellow light you can film early in the morning next to a window that s just a proposition because that s what i do

[@jaygeeTV]

do you have a link to the tripods used in this video?

[@forgotten-z2f]

this actually helped a lot thank you love 💕💕💯💯✨

[@tablefilming5838]

Cool

[@mtbmaniacs7747]

Hod bless your dad .. I wish I would have the chance to meet and thank him for raising a humble yet talented & smart girl like you .. cherish every moment with you family

[@TheJoyfulEye]

thank you! I think I am going to put my tripod on my desk; it's very simple but it never occurred to me before :)

[@taytaybeynippy486]

[@terukisuke5324]

[@JelArts]

Teru Kisuke you're welcome!

[@kiatlc]

2019-1-12 首次阅览 拍得很好，继续加油

[@eem5240]

Which software do you use for editing..?

[@ngson5709]

I LOVE WHAT YOUR DAD MADE ♡♡♡

[@leslieasuncion7739]

I actually really appreciate the more ghetto ways to film you have examples of. Makes it easier for people to start filming as soon as possible

[@nazimsaifiartwork]

nice job

[@moonie6106]

I find this very useful! But I use a DSLR camera which desn't fit at the mini tripod and the tripod I have is not high enough to stay behind my chair and the desk is not wide enough. The desk is at the wall and is between the computer desk and the bed. Any ideas how can I set it?

[@johnlemon4647]

hello im Michael Misau from your followers in instagram! this video is very useful!!

[@JelArts]

I'm glad you found it helpful! Hey you won one of my contests a while ago, right? I think over two years ago now!

[@cerulean1602]

As a starter this was very helpful for me 😭

[@drawinglinebyline4318]

I like your videos draw your videos

[@mowtie]

awesome video! tbh I always struggles with the lights when i'm recording my drawings hmm... still hasn't figure out what's the best light settings :O

[@cylan6337]

Which video editor do you use?

[@catherinethomas1977]

What kind of camera are you using?

[@frickitznad4322]

Was just wondering... What camera is the camera you were filming?

[@JelArts]

JustCani it was a Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS3. I used it for all my videos previous to getting my camera just last Christmas! it's a pretty decent camera. takes great outdoor shots, and I'm sure if I had lots more lighting my videos would have looked better.

[@foreverbluefx]

Pls what software do you use to timelapse your video?

[@JelArts]

+Tukura Jerry I use Adobe premiere! But I used to use Windows movie Maker.

[@dalovelee666]

My drawing table is at an angle so I am trying to figure a way to video record while I’m drawing in progress yet not being seeing other than my hand.

[@katanaartist742]

Thank you so much XD I hope to make an art/animations channel one day... this will help XD

[@Imaproshaman7]

Neat.

[@thefunnytech4612]

wow

[@weewooweewoo6206]

for the pencil camera thingy if you want to zoom out just pile it up on books TYSMM FOR THIS BTW

[@Mo_Nilla_Co]

Anyone know any good cheap cameras I can buy?

[@brendablanco5967]

[@JelArts]
