I loved hearing work with what you have and be creative. It really inspired me. I love watching your tech talks and learn so much from it. Thank you for these videos they are super helpful.

Bruna Abreu Thank you Bootiful

Nwadiogo Aw thank you! I appreciate the support! I'm challenging my self to get out of my comfort zone. It's only holding me back !

[@NerdyNerdUHeard]

I'm in the same situation girl, I feel your pain.

[@AjaMarie]

bruna abreu Same here! I actually bought all of the filming equipment. Created my channel and even filmed here and there. But still like you, I'm too freaking shy and also a perfectionist.

[@JenniferCynthiaHair]

Absolutely love your personality! New subscriber for sure. I've been a "beauty guru" for years and am finally branching out into cleaning and organizational and minimalism videos as well. This was super helpful!!! :)

[@clydegallagher]

Three point lighting is the best. Frugal pro tip....3 $10 gooseneck floor lamps with "daylight" led bulbs and then cover the lamp part with $1 shower caps to softly diffuse the light for that beautiful skin glow. Total cost: $40. P.S. Only use LED bulbs because they will not get hot and therefore can be covered without a fire-risk.

[@queenrayna]

clyde gallagher thanks do you mind liking or replying to my comment so that I get a link to your comment

[@clydegallagher]

Aurora Skyes three point lighting with diffusers tip by Clyde. Another option is a $50 setup from Amazon Neewer 600W 5500K Photo Studio Day Light Umbrella Continuous Lighting Kit www.amazon.com/dp/B013JV3J1I/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_rSYuyb279GB9V

[@RacquelEdouard]

clyde gallagher I've been using 3 led floor lamps until I'm able to get a ring light . I also find with the Sony a5000...I know another KZbinr that films with the a5000 but uses a ring light & her quality looks great! Will you take a look at my video for some suggestions? Idk if the light is close enough to me or what....😕

[@clydegallagher]

Racquel Edouard which KZbinr are you referring to? Then I can get an idea of what you are going for.

[@RacquelEdouard]

[@aliyiabeckford9310]

Your tech videos are the best. For the past three years I’ve been wanting to start a channel but due to my low self esteem I haven’t done it. Now that I’m more confident you’re videos are a blessing. I’ll be posting my first video next week.

[@eddyhudds4707]

[@shanboody]

[@Rainyunique]

Normii omgggggg, yes. I hate that, like it's not that serious 😞

[@DanielleMolina]

Thank you Maya! You're such an amazing help 😩 I started watching you because I wanted to start a KZbin channel based on beauty. You've gotten me to start and to also continue persistently. I cannot thank you enough for all your help 💛

[@yulissahernandez2510]

I've always gone back and forth about posting videos on my channel and I finally decided to just go for it. Thank you so much for the videos, Tech Talk has taught me so much already can't wait to get started!

[@shamelessmaya]

Thanks for all the love again boos! Share this video on Twitter with your friends who need some Tech Talk in their life! ctt.ec/cI4Sp

[@thingsilove18]

Shameless Maya Do you have a tech talk coming about vlogging 😆😆 pretty pleaseeeeee!.

[@KemisChoice]

Thanks Maya, your tech videos, I just love! Question - when I try to film close-ups, I feel like it shows WAY too much detail of my face. I don't know if it's the lighting, camera setting or just my skin lol. I'd like to achieve that almost airbrushed look I see in most beauty guru videos.

[@channingpeterson87]

Shameless Maya LOVE YOU MAYA YOU INSPIRE ME💙💜💛

[@ImOliviaJ]

Hi +Kemi's Choice i'm a videographer I think I can help :p. I'm a little late but hopefully you can see my message anyways :P. I took a look at your "How to Bob Braids (Tutorial) - NO BURNING!" video and from what I can tell, the most likely culprit is that your light is too close to you and also turned up too high. It also looks like you aren't using a softbox. This is something you can put over light to make the light softer. That "airbrushed" look you are looking to achieve happens because the lights are diffused (by softboxes), further away from the subject, and/or turned down in intensity. I hope this helps, happy vlogging! :)

[@KemisChoice]

Thank you Olivia for your reply!. Yes you are right, I don't have a softbox, and the light was right in front of me in that video. I will hopefully be able to invest in better lighting equipment soon and get much better quality videos. Thanks again!!

[@AirbrushWithGrace]

I've been having to start my channel because my businesses demands it (I'm a makeup artist, I invented a process to airbrush special fx tattoos that look & feel so real tattoo artists can't tell they last a week). I'm teaching other muas how to do it! ANYWAY, I recently found out I have Cancer so waiting just seems silly anymore. Don't wait for tomorrow, it's not guaranteed! I'm editing my first few videos right now!

[@asyaatanasova1811]

ipaintflesh this is the best advise I’ve ever heard. Hope things are going better for you! Thank you so much ! Sending healing energy your way💖

[@aminarachael4320]

thank you so much for this whole entire playlist its helping me soooo much with how to start my channel and it's super encouraging

[@AfriZiny]

I bumped into your channel last while trying to start up my own channel and your contents have been so so so helpful. Thank you Maya boo

[@asmrdemar6559]

You are a gem! Thank you for sharing your knowledge, beautiful! P.s. Anyone, who's reading this - May you have a lovely day :)

[@basicallysophie9392]

ASMRdeMAR tysm for my lovely day xD .. a year later

[@ItsEkcho]

I'm watching to make my videos look better. I don't really have a channel theme but I plan on revamping.

[@YouIxoxo]

Sounds exciting

[@MyHappinessDefined]

Its Ekcho Me tooo.

[@BeardBoss]

Keep Going, I believe in You

[@B5girl93]

Im thankful for these tech videos. Not so much for the super technical stuff but for the look or style of how to do things. Especially since I JUST started my channel. I'm been watching you since almost the beginning.

[@StellaKaye]

I'm looking into making beauty videos, and this was incredibly helpful! I have been watching Maya for a while, and I love everything she stands for and preaches about. I liveeee 🙌🏼✨

[@truelydevine]

I just purchased a sonyA5100 . Your videos help me sooo much! I have a beauty & lifestyle channel. Thank you for all the great tips!

[@ArmyBarbie]

Truely DeVine it over heats so bad 😩😩

[@truelydevine]

yes it does! I didn't buy it for video but I do still use it for video. Using what I have until I can get a camera made for video. but I'm in love with the sonya5100 for pictures.

[@Naturallyshe77]

Im thinking of getting this camera. I know u mentioned that u love it for pics. Do the pics come out clear? and how is the video and sound quality? Ive heard its not the best.

[@truelydevine]

this camera is definitely made for pictures. the images come out beyond amazing and super clear. the quality of the video and sound are nice the only default of this camera is the over heating when recording.

[@Naturallyshe77]

thank you !

[@AndrieaDenise]

That beauty guru voice is hilarious!

[@rachiesworld3645]

I'm still very new to youtube and I love making videos. I'm not a beauty guru, I just make videos to show people what I like to do, things I enjoy, places and etc. I just want to show the world there is so much to life and to go out and live it. I haven't really been keeping up constantly making videos because I am living at home with my parents and we don't have much room for a set up. Just a few days ago my boyfriend and I got approved to live in an apartment and i couldn't be more blessed. I see my channel growing because I will have more space and I can create my own design from the bottom up. I can't wait to grow with my viewers and learn about them and even my self along the way. Your video truly inspired me and gave me great ideas! I love your channel, keep up the great work.

[@AprilLeon]

Omg why did i rewind 3 times to hear u do the beauty guru tutorial voice it was hilarious love u i have learned so much from ur videos thank u

[@Jayblac1615]

can you show how you connected your 5d to your mac to see yourself while recording?

[@sahnie82]

I believe she is using an HDMI cord. Based on the make of your camera you may need an HDMI cord or mini HDMI cord. They are fairly cheap and easy to order. The port to connect it is usually located on the side of the camera.

[@Jayblac1615]

i have the same camera she does.

[@rubycrushmakeup2893]

Jayblac1615 in the video she says she's using a long usb cable

[@Leannelimwalker]

You use the USB cable that comes in your camera box, also there's a CD of software you install so when you connect your camera it pops up and you just click live view recording. If you don't have a CD room bit on your laptop you can download from canons website (which I had to do)

[@pambaker3783]

Thank you for this because I have the cannon CD. But my Apple laptop which is ran on OX dosent recognize it

[@QueenKCVanEtta]

I drink my coffee with a straw too. I drink almost everything with a straw to not stain my teeth. Yay to us! Great tips, Maya. Thank you!

[@shamelessmaya]

Queen KC Van Etta yay!!! Less bleach more teeth!

[@I_Am_LisaB]

i just discovered your channel today and spent most of my day watching and learning some great tips. I'm new to KZbin and thought it was a lot easier. However, I'm up for this challenge as this is something I'm very passionate about. I started my channel a few months ago, but left it alone for a while because I wanted to wait until i have everything. Realizing that may be a good year or two I decided to learn some tips and your video appeared as "recommended". I just subscribed to your channel and I'm even more exhausted to build my brand using this platform. Thank you so much, you are very helpful.

[@calmcamilleh.9581]

I know this video is a lil older but I soooo appreciate you made this whole series! instead of keeping some big secret you give all the aspiring creators an opportunity to learn about the art of filmography and photography! Thank you!

[@ArmyBarbie]

Maya, I Have a question. I've ask MULTIPLE youtubers this question but all seem to act like its a secret and it's annoying. But some youtubers have backdrops, and behind them there's something that kind of looks like there's a light. Like behind them is lighter then the backdrop. If you don't know what I'm talking about, you can check out Alyssa Ashely's video. Can you please tell me how they do that?!

[@AnaLovesMakeup]

Army Barbie it could be a filter

[@810DeeDee]

Army Barbie I watched a video I forget her name but I think she called it a halo light or something & she basically just puts a light behind her when she's filming. I hope this helps😊

[@NadiyaIssa]

Army Barbie I've been searching that up as well but no luck! Makeupshayla videos look like that as well

[@SweetSerenity2004]

Army Barbie i could be wrong but i believe all they use is a fabric of some sort...something that will from a fabric store that will really pop. and then i think they position a light source to hit the back drop...they may have two off to the sides to really illuminate the back drop or they may have one but then strategically sit in front of the light source while also facing a different light source. so essentially you have light on the "back drop" and also light on you... if that makes sense?

[@lalamadrid]

It's the fabric they're using - usually it's the sequins fabric and when it's a blurred background that's what happens so any glittery or metallic background will make this happens

[@StylishCurves]

How do you get rid of light glare when you show makeup products in your video

[@subconsciousmessages3833]

I heard if you have a ring light, put the ring light behind your camera, and not right against the camera :) If the ring light is right against your camera, it will create too harsh of lighting :)

[@carmenpilato5095]

your videos are literally the best. I just stumbled across your channel today! thank you for sharing so much knowledge xo

[@AwomKenneth]

Years later still awesome!

[@simp1eone]

Ohhhhhhh ok , n ow i remember who you look like - You resemble BooBoo Kitty (Grace Byers) from Empire . She is an islander too - she is from Cayman Islands. Yall are so pretty and those short signature hair cut so beautiful.

[@AimeeBarreto]

When on iMovie I edit my exposure to create more lighting since my original lighting my itself is not where i would like it to be. However, when I upload my video to KZbin from iMovie OR Quicktime it looks NOTHING like how the video looks on iMovie OR Quicktime. It COMPLETELY goes back to normal to how it originally was and did not show how my video actually looks after i edit it on iMovie. Why is this?! I tried both ways and my lighting still changes 😭😩 Please help. It is soo frustrating. I can see how it is suppose to look like on KZbin but 'actually' shows the way I don't want it to look.

[@riss604]

Your tech talk segments are so helpful! im slowly starting up my own channel and you give such great advice and offer several options.

[@ayaa.1705]

You are so awesome :) Your encouraging words at the end really helped honestly! I am definitely going to keep trying with my channel and never give up!

[@Hehehihihe]

Do you think you could make a video about editing with iMovie? It's great for cuts and stuff but I have a hard time with adding in things like text and making it look a little more professional :/

[@knottyhippooo]

I know right? I want to add 2 overlays and it's giving me a hard time!

[@RaqNaturalNTWK]

arpitha badrinath one way I had overlays is downloading overlays from KZbin. A lot of them have the green screen of the overlay. You can also use keynote and create text/ pictures in there. Make sure the background is green. Save it as QuickTime. Then when you get to iMovie, insert your clip from either key note or KZbin on top of the section you want the over lay to be over. Click the over lay clip. After that there will be an option at the top with the tools that say "cutaway" click that then the drop down will give you options. Click blue screen/green screen. Then you'll have your overlay

[@Hehehihihe]

Raq Natural oh wow thank you!!!!!

[@gracegarcia471]

notification squad where you at

[@sarahjin7490]

so in detail! love your video, thanks for the effort!

[@GlambyGabbi]

[@NadiyaIssa]

Omg I hope thats a yes! Your tech videos helped me so much and I still refer to them, Thank you!!

[@TabMUA]

I think she's spoken a little bit about them before, I really want to know good ones for text graphics! I just hate the text Final Cut comes with.

[@NadiyaIssa]

TabithaAdamMUA I may have to go back and re watch her videos. I like how the text popped up when she did the close up.

[@ArmyBarbie]

TabithaAdamMUA the text ones? They can be bought as a 30$ package on pixel film studios website!

[@alexle7340]

I LOVE you you have the absolute best personality!! I've learned so much about setup and tech info from these tech talks and you make it so interesting!

[@BabyLynnDoll]

I honestly love your videos!! You inspire me to step up my game on my KZbin channel! Thank you boo! ❤

[@Rayowag]

Maybe a video how to shot from above with and without a tripod? It's not really easy if you make drawingvideos and you're picky with the quality.

[@PigeoneerToy]

check out Casey Niestat studio's videos. He built a setup to film from above

I am so thankful for the video!! I'm a new channel and I've been saving for a year to update my equipment and I've been looking for a GOOD KZbin video to go over setup, lights and background. And this is literally the best one I've ever seen. So much info, literally no rambling ( that's so refreshing!!😩😩) instant sub 💕💕

[@Madamsheylovely]

Hey boo 💗 I love this video, very helpful. Your so confident behind the camera something & your personality shines so bright.I plan on making beauty videos, vlogs & etc. I'm not done watching your how to videos but FYI I am taking notes 📝

[@TanyaKatherine]

I love your personality so much! You make me so happy and lit up inside to watch! I think it has to do with also how independent and strong you are inside - to do all this on your own too. Your personality shows your drive and determination while staying really positive and happy with all that you have. You're such an inspiration and so beautiful!

[@RebeccaEloisa]

These tech videos are so helpful! Thanks Maya!

[@stellarnaki]

You're my favorite youtuber because your videos are always so helpful and entertaining! I have a short attention span, but I never get bored while watching your videos, and I can always watch the entire video from start to finish.
