How to shoot your cooking videos with your phone

[@mevskitcheneats]

Thank you so much for posting these videos! New at recording videos and have been thinking now for a while of starting my own cooking channel on KZbin so videos like these are giving me confidence to take the pinch and just go with it 🙂

[@BelquisTwist]

Thank you for your feedback! Yes, it is so possible to start even when we don't feel confident. That will grow as we learn and get better at the tasks. I wish you all the best and remember that you can totally do this!

[@chiokoye6917]

Thank you so much for these videos. THey truly are helpful...Sidenote- your hubby seems to be quite supportive. I chuckled at the slow motion hand shot...

[@BelquisTwist]

hahaha! He really is. He believes in his crazy wife! Thank you for watching my videos and I am so happy they are helpful! I have another one coming soon!

[@rachele8075]

Great video! I just recently started subscribing to you. I love your videos and food photography! Great latin fusion foods and channels are missing on KZbin. Thank you for bringing your culture and food to the people!

[@edgaredualino4749]

Thank you my dearest friend. I'm shooting my video by my samsung phone .i'm very new i di trial and error hopefully i'll follow your foot step. Thank you so much.GOD BLESS ALL OF US...

[@sanatabichannel9194]

You said everything I wanted to tell her, but in an even better and nicer and lovely way. Thank you. So kind and sweet comment

[@BelquisTwist]

Thank you T Davis! We need alot more of our food out there, more restaurants and more representation on cooking channels. Can you believe that we have 0 caribbean/latin/latin inspired food shows out there? Nada! I am hoping to change that. at almost 46, I am late to the game but going for it!

[@BelquisTwist]

Edgar! My next video is exactly all about messing up and making it work! I mess up ALOT! I am usually super tight with time and have to record with my kids around. especially since March whene we had to stay at home. You need to watch it!

[@Cityheart221]

Thank you for the video. I am starting my videos for my grandchildren. I wish my grandmother and my mother had done for me. I don't know if I will do cooking videos, but the information on angles is great. I need to know that. I just subscribed.

[@BelquisTwist]

Thank you for subscribing! I agree, I have all those recipes in my head from growing up being taught by my mom, grandmother and aunts. I am happy to now be documenting it for my future generations. I would have been super happy to just have things written down, so I think in whatever way you choose to do it, they will appreciate it alot.

[@manorhouse3556]

Love your videos! Learning so much! Would recommend that a pause my camera phone or just stop in between clips or just keep it rolling? Eg. If I'm moving from cutting board to frying pan or if I'd like to finish a clip from a different angle.... 🤔🤔

[@BelquisTwist]

Thank you for watching and your support! I usually stop. Then restart at the next angle. It's helpful when editing to know its another angle or step in the recipe process.

Thank you! I grew up with little, basically just what we needed. I will be forever grateful for the lessons that taught me. :)

[@Mercy_Ajoke]

Hi nice guide. I’m planning on making short recipe /videos. Do I make voiceovers first before editing my clips or record voice over while watching the final match edits ? I’m overwhelmed please reply 😊

[@BelquisTwist]

Hi! I always edit the video first and once I know I am 100% satisfied with it, then I do the voiceover while watching the video to match it as best as possible.

[@Mercy_Ajoke]

@@BelquisTwist thanks so much for the tip. I’ll practice that 😊

[@BelquisTwist]

@@Mercy_Ajoke Cool! I'm here if you have other questions!

[@akme9506]

Thanks for sharing your knowledge. I wish soon I’ll be able to do it. Still practicing and watching after and deleting them because I’m not happy with the result.

[@BelquisTwist]

Many of my first episodes were not that good. I had many off days but I still put them out because it helped me grow. Don't be hard on yourself. If you wait to be perfect, you will never start, so go for it! As you do more and more, you'll get better and better. Trust me on that! Wishing you the best!

Please tell me the tripod that you use I have a tripod, but yours seems way more sturdier than mine. Not the overhead one, but the one that you used that you moved around each time please and thank you and you’re doing a great job. I’m learning so much from you.

[@yvetteseagertoeat2575]

@@BelquisTwist when I go into your store, I find T-shirts to purchase. Do you have a list of the product to use? I’m curious to know the camera used in this video. Please know that I am a beginner when it comes to photography. I’ve always use my iPhone but I’m very interested in broadening my horizon two actual cameras in at my phone.

[@BelquisTwist]

I used Canon T7i with a 18-55mm lens to shoot this. But my phone for the recipe. When I take pictures of the finished food, I use a 50mm lens. It’s a great starter lens for food photography.

I find it so annoying to keep switching the tripod and angles while you are cooking 😅 always wished somebody could do the shooting and I just cook and do editing 😀

[@kinksdefined5883]

😂so agree with you

[@Inspirationhills]

I suggest putting some kind of a small nonslip silicon pad under your bowl. It will keep it from moving when you mix... Great videos!1 Thank you :))

[@ggtamilkitchen]

[@BelquisTwist]

Welcome 😊!

[@dontemcl]

Hi great video. I need this for my cooking channel. One question do you stop the recording and start a new recording when you are switching angles? So do you eventually have 3 to 4 recording and you put them together when you edit them?

[@BelquisTwist]

Hi Donte! Yes, I do stop and then start in the other angle. It also makes it easy when moving the files from my phone to the computer. Then I dump them in the editing software all together and edit. I hope this explanation helped. :)

[@dontemcl]

@@BelquisTwist yes it did thank you

[@LaVidaRicaBudget]

Greetings from AZ! Question for you, do you still use your friction arm for shooting overhead when you cook on your stove?

[@BelquisTwist]

Hi! I'm in AZ too btw! I use all you saw in this video still. It's just the easiest way for me. I only shoot my intro with my Canon DSLR. Is that what you were asking? Sorry, I don't know anything by friction arm!

[@LaVidaRicaBudget]

I saw on one of your videos that you were from AZ just today. I was like no way 😱, yes I have to follow and support! I saw on one of your other videos that you used a metal arm that you attached to your cabinet overhead. I thought it was called something like magic friction arm or something like that.

[@BelquisTwist]

@@LaVidaRicaBudget I get it now! That arm I use seldomly lately since I find myself choosing the stand with the iphone holder on a higher height. Btw, I am a New Yorker who moved here just over 2 years ago. I'm in the East Valley. You?

[@LaVidaRicaBudget]

Belqui's Twist oh ok! I ended up purchasing to try to shoot some better videos. We’ll see how it goes. I am in the west valley in Goodyear. Hope you’re liking AZ so far!

[@nunya148]

Why did you use the aluminum foil to shoot?? You didn’t explain that part in the video

[@BelquisTwist]

Hi! I was keeping the food warm so I can take it to shoot the pictures. That's why I used the foil, just to keep it warm. :-)

[@KaliElaine]

That’s what I do I make food and photograph working on getting my video shots better

[@BelquisTwist]

It takes time. The more you do it, the better you'll get. You have a great channel with alot of purpose. Have you thought of creating playlists so that you have a full "Home" page? It will allow people to choose more targeted videos. They won't have to go to the arrow to see more of them.

[@BelquisTwist]

Thank you! DSLR is super easy to learn. What I did was not try to understand all of its functionality but what settings I needed to make it work for my video and my pictures. I plan to learn more about thee DSLR as I use it in a more expanded manner but for now, this is as much as I can stretch. I airdrop files from my phone (if I used my phone) to my computer. The DSLR, I move my SIM card over to my computer and download the files. Then import them to my editing software. I am about to share how I edit my videos on Adobe Premiere Rush today.
