- “Before” and “After”
- Simple callouts (“Watch this” / “Here’s what we’re doing”)
- Mini-education (“This helps with…”)

THE FILMING MINDSET THAT CHANGES EVERYTHING
Film with the edit in mind.
Instead of trying to capture the “perfect take,” focus on capturing usable footage. When you shift your mindset from filming for the moment to filming for flexibility, editing becomes faster and far less intimidating.
This mindset takes the pressure off filming and turns editing into a straightforward next step instead of a bottleneck.
Don’t overcomplicate it.
The most effective content comes from a simple, repeatable process: film content on your iPhone, edit in CapCut, add captions, and post consistently. This straightforward workflow outperforms overthinking equipment or chasing perfect setups every time.
Consistency beats complexity — and it’s the fastest way to create content that actually performs.

- Leave a second before and after you speak so clips are easy to trim.
- Start with a clean intro clip of you looking at the camera — this gives you an easy anchor for the edit.
- Capture simple, steady B-roll of the treatment or process to layer under text and captions.
- Don’t rush your movements — slower footage is easier to edit and feels more polished on screen.
