To Help Your Child Shine
Below you'll find a selection of equipment that can help make your self-tapes shine. Do you need to buy all of it? ABSOLUTELY NOT. (Unless you don't have a tripod, that's a necessity). Great self-tapes can be filmed with just your phone, a tripod, and a blank wall in a relatively neutral color as long as the lighting is good.
But if you're worried that your self-tapes aren't coming across the way you'd like, then take a look below. We've used everything you see below at various times, and it's worked out well for us.

* Please Note: Amazon pays me a small commission if you order using my links (at no extra cost to you!), which helps me keep the box lights glowing and the Pro tips coming.
Not into that? No problem! Just copy the item name and paste it into Amazon manually — you’ll still get what you need, and I’ll still cheer you on from the sidelines.
