3 Ways to Create ENGAGING Food Videos using only Static Shots

[@LebaneserScrooge]

THANK YOU! I'm a chef with 30 years experience in cooking but zero in being a cameraman or editor! It's SO hard! Like I have in my head what I want to a video to be, and it outcome is NEVER what I was picturing in my head lol

[@omnirhythm]

Video is VERY hard, because it's unforgiving to mistakes. With photography, you get to prepare everything for a single moment, with video you need to plan ahead but also not make (many or large) mistakes during filming. As everything, it comes down to practice. No giving up! :)

[@LebaneserScrooge]

@@omnirhythm yeah I got like a week to get decent lol. I''m starting a series where that premieres June 1st where I interview artists, musicians, chefs, comedians, actors, or anyone I just find interesting or inspiring, all while cooking them a 10 course meal! We start shooting the 24th. I think I may have bitten off a little more than I can chew lol.

[@paolaaseron]

the stare did make me laugh :)

[@figandlight]

thank you? hahah thanks for watching 🙏

[@foodiesunited3814]

Yea I was really sucked into the drama of the scene until it was rudely ripped away with that behind the scene shot...u got me🤣🤣🤣 I want to learn to edit with static shots just like that. Not trying to be too fancy.

[@DreOrozco]

I audibly laughed out loud haha.

[@RicoMenu]

These types of videos take a long time to make but they come out excellent, and above all, people like them, so the sacrifice is worth it.

[@CicisCookingCorner]

Wonderful tips! My husband and I are making videos of Chinese recipes and I've been trying to think of some ways to spice up my videos. This has given me a lot to think about, thank you!

[@SimplyTastyCo]

I came to rewatch for a 3rd time because everything about this video is what i'm aspiring to be. Thank you!

[@FoodWithShay]

its pretty awesome, just came across it now, butyou dont make many vids, have to be constant

[@EmmasLittleKitchenOfficial]

My channel is all about cooking. Though I’m trying to add bass guitar cover songs from time to time but what I actually want to say is that this channel has been been so helpful to me especially this particular video. I just want to say a very big thank you. You are a blessing ☺️

[@figandlight]

Very kind words Emma, thank you so much!

[@EmmasLittleKitchenOfficial]

figandlight On the contrary I should thank you 😊

[@SamsHomeKitchen]

This content is pure gold. Thanks for sharing!

Love your content and the calm way you explain what you are doing! Keep up the great work! 😍

[@figandlight]

Thank you Jeanette! Appreciate that 🙏

[@kshv2.0]

Just watched two videos of you, I'm in love with the content mate. I'm a beginner at Food Photography and your content makes so much sense and leave me with many technicalities that needs to be learnt. Subbed already ;) Keep up man

[@figandlight]

Thank you Kreshav! Appreciate that man 🙏

[@kshv2.0]

@@figandlight You're welcome mate 🙌 Well deserved :) Btw its Keshav* I'll take it anyway haha

[@cbcphotography9781]

Love that breaker part, you gazed in a moment to look at the camera 😊.

[@iamLeilaSafary]

Very concise and to the point!! Thanks so much!!

[@michelbaltzer192]

Thank you for your teaching 🙏🙏

[@marisolmattos8730]

I can't wait for more videos. I love your explanation! Thank u so much for sharing what u know.

[@RonOnTheGrill]

Excellent stuff man! I've always tried to be more intentional about getting more interesting shots. I think there's such a huge opportunity in my particular corner of the food video niche to really stand out. I already get comments on my relaxed style, both in the style of my videos and my own personality. I don't think it would take much tweaking to really get them to something special. Just subscribed, looking forward to seeing and learning more.

[@Flaco_3dit]

THANK YOU very much Afrojack, you saved my life ❤️

[@chefinscrubs]

Hi! Because of this video I just published my very first. I thank you so much for the inspiration and some ideas! It might not be the best but Im going to improve on it every time, from one video to another!

[@tinyspatulas1182]

Love how you made a fairly simple recipe video both engaging and funny...Really helpful video! You explained everything really well-- exactly what I was looking for. Thank you!

[@Whatevertheheck]

Damn... the video I’ve been searching for!!! Genuis!!! That scene of you staring was so hilarious 😂😂😂😂

[@Whatevertheheck]

[@fonsecamikester]

Buddy your content is more than useful. I know you primarily do food photography but it would be a great help if you added to this food video playlist and did some more videos on how to do food videos. Thanks much for all you do.

[@figandlight]

I want to! I just need to find the time. Right now I'm working on releasing a course, but hopefully afterwards, it'll free up more time to dedicate to youtube. Thanks again!

[@fonsecamikester]

figandlight, fantastic. Will look forward to that 😊

[@fonsecamikester]

Oh and 1 more question. On your patreon platform, is it all photography stuff, or do you have video stuff as well?

[@nas1323]

Please make more videos like this one! I love how the process is done. Thanks a lot!

This was sooo awesome thank you!!! 🙌 love all of your content and style. More food vids please!

[@gayegerard]

I love this, thanks for sharing. How did you create that super fast zoom in to the bowl as you were stirring at 20 seconds? I have seen that kind of transition done on the luxury real estate series on netflix when they enter a room and then zoom in super fast with that swish sound its awesome. I am using filmora 13 do you know how I would create this in there? Also where do you get your music for these from?

[@letscookwithleigh]
