Awesome tips! I thought about a light meter. Guess I'll pull the trigger.

[@MountUpMedia]

Do it man! Eventually you won’t need it as much because your eye will develop but MAN it really helped unpacked the things that I was actually really bad at! Haha

[@ericdargan]

Incredible video

[@MountUpMedia]

Thanks brother !

[@starel11]

7:12 Yes please God bless you :)

[@TwistedCulture]

This was an incredible video bro, lots of gems in here! I will say the Tip video meeter did get a little distracting at times. I'd say either make it slightly transparent or only show it in between tips or while you are talking to the camera

[@MountUpMedia]

That’s really good feedback! Thank you, tbh, I really don’t like it lol

[@TwistedCulture]

@@MountUpMedia Ah yeah then you're probably better off without it. I'm excited to see where you take this channel tho!

[@MountUpMedia]

@@TwistedCulture thanks brother!

[@oneimpactproductions]

Great tips. Can you drop a link to the light meter you're using?

[@MountUpMedia]

Yes, I’ll put it in the description when I get back to my desktop! Great idea

[@shareekwillis2799]
