So sorry I just had to re-upload this! And here my friends is ANOTHER teachable moment, based on a (rookie!) mistake! In the first upload, I was trying to show some of my short-form video content, on TikTok, so I downloaded one of my TikTok videos and popped it in, ONLY it had the TikTok watermark on it, BIG Mistake! The YT Algorithm sees that as "Copyright infringement" and then sends me a Copyright Infringement notice with the message that my video will get less reach because of it (ugh) so after all the work that went into this video, it was worth losing the first 1200 views in order to re-upload it in order to get a wider reach, and therefore hopefully help more people with their food content. Phew OK, take 2! Here we go again LOL!
Loved this video on the "How to..." video. It was entertaining & educational & FUN. Thank You!! Why don't you use clips of the one video you do in the kitchen that you can use for all the other Social Media channels? You're working double and making it hard on yourself.
Here in 2024! This is the YEAR
Thank you for this Beth! I must say, and I feel extremely naive for saying this... but I honestly just wasn't aware that such an intense amount of work went into one single video. Watching as a viewer, it all looks so effortless - but I now realise that therein lies the real skill - the ability to MAKE IT LOOK so effortless! Your work is nothing short of amazing Beth!
Ha! Yes editing is a wonderful thing! No one ever sees the blood, sweat and tears LOL! So glad you enjoyed it! :)
I started my channel 3 weeks ago. I never stop searching for information. This is how I found you ❤Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. I will try to do my best and grow my channel🎉
This is the cooking videography bible!!! Thank you for sharing this. Pure Gold!!!!!
Congratulations on ten years Beth!
I have been following your content quietly for many years, and even after all this time you continue to be a true inspiration for me both as a creator and with all the recipes you share. I didn't know it was possible but I have truly fallen even further in love with your content with your recent long-form videos - from Beth in France to these more behind-the-scenes videos. It just brings another level of warmth and authenticity to your channel that lets me feel even more connected with you as a person.
You are one of the few creators that always leaves me with a smile as I watch your content, in fact this video published right after a 13 hour work shift and I was delighted to have had an entire 40 minute video to unwind with! Your can-do pragmatic yet encouraging spirit is something that really brightens my day especially as a creator myself, and I'm so grateful to have gotten to follow along on your journey.
To many more years of great cooking and thank you again for everything that you do! (I should also add I have tried plenty of your recipes over the years and not one of them has failed me yet!)
Aww this is the sweetest comment ever. Thank you for sharing your warm sentiments. I had to laugh when I read "unwind" with this video LOL! Every time I watched it made me more exhausted ha! You are too sweet ha! Now going to check out your channel! :)
Same!!
This is a masterclass, a true gift. Thank you Beth for your time and effort to shoot this step-by-step, and all of your other delicious content. Bravo!!
Of course!! My pleasure!! :)
WOW. This video is impressive. I worked in television lighting, shooting and editing my own field productions. What you did here is no easy task. I stand in applause here. Well done Beth, very very very well done.
I love how authentic you are. I love how humble you are. I only found you a year ago and it felt like Christmas. I binged you for about 4 hours on a very rainy Sunday afternoon. I didn't realize at the time your career history of working with your Dad's tv show. I kept telling my family & friends to check you out, "Beth is such a natural and enjoys cooking so much, she makes every recipe look easy to prepare and her channel is so professional for a home cook." Dear Lord, Beth I had no idea all the work you do to film. I feel bad, like I didn't appreciate you and your recipes enough. So, although I don't want to have a RUclips channel of my own, I absolutely love that you shared this with us. All the best to you, Beth. I'm a forever fan. Also, I really enjoy the recipes you share. I have made so many of them. My son said our dining is so much better since I've tried to cook and bake like you. 😊
Aww bless his heart! Ha! I'm so glad the recipes have been a hit! They are always such a joy to share and I'm so glad they have made their way to your table. Always an honor! And WELCOME! I'm so glad you found me too :)
Well Beth, you are definitely doing something right, because I love your channel. I’ve only found you a couple of years ago, but the beauty is that I get to go back and watch all your old videos. They are all wonderful in my book! Congratulations on 10 amazing years, and here’s to the cookbook and all the other incredible things you have in store🎉❤🤗 Thank you!
Thank you so much! I truly appreciate all the support over the years! It's been a fun journey for sure, and I'm excited for a cookbook project and for the next 10 years to come!
I've been watching you for years and as a new food content creator this was more useful than you know.
Aww so glad to hear! Best of luck to you!!
Beth, a true successful professional can share her secrets without intimidation. I applaud you and highly respect your work. Great job 👏 Keep doing what you do, we love it. ❤️
Happy anniversary! I've been watching your channel for so many years since back in the KIN days. I hope if you do a cookbook that you also include entertainment design and decor tips. You have such a good eye for details!
Oh yes we'd definitely have to include a few Decor tips as well! I love it! :)
I put tape over the “headphone” entry to make 100% sure I don’t plug the mic in the wrong hole. Having to re-record everything is THE WORST!
Congrats on 10 years!!! Time just flies! Your videos are better now than back when you had a crew. You’re doing an excellent job!
I feel like crying its been 10 years… I have been following you since kin community and you are the best person to go for recipes that are full proof ❤️❤️❤️ when I first watched you I was a uni student n my dad was alive n I made them your recipes :”) now Im alone but you are still here for us. I also followed your garden channel since day one!
You are amazingly talented Beth and hard working and you inspire people with your bubbly enthusiasm and your skills!!! Thank you 🙏 for teaching us so much!
You are so welcome! It's been my pleasure! :)
Beth vous êtes une femme formidable! The way you tackled the problem with the lockdown and no crew to help you, deciding to do everything by yourself, fabulous! You decided that you can learn and master the job and proved you don’t need to be a young girl to learn new skills, chapeau! So many talents in a single woman! You can be proud of yourself and am sure your husband and family is too. Thanks for all the inspiring hard work, wishing you the very best for your channel in the next 10 years when you will -maybe- have settled down in your lovely house in France. Merci Beth!
Have been loving your videos for all these years! Thankyou for such an in-depth and informative video, i feel like now i have the confidence to shoot a recipe video without the fear of failing.
Oh! Lord!!! So much work! I have a new found admiration for you Beth! I am so grateful for your dedication! I have been following you for quite a few years since I love your approach to food, family, life and now with this video I love your approach to the details it takes to make a great video! En passant j’ai fait la recette puisque nous avions des croissants et j’ai mis des canneberges au lieu des raisins puisqu’ici au Québec nous avons beaucoup de canneberges que l’on peut faire sécher et qui sont délicieuses dans un plat comme celui là!!! Merci mille fois!!! 😊
So so so happy to have found your channel Beth. Thank you for all you do to bring us these « food gifts ».
Thanks for being so amazing! Your videos are so perfect, but I appreciate your content even more after seeing all the work you personally put into making these happen. Huge fan!!
You are so welcome! It's always such a joy to share them!
I love your message at 15:30 I absolutely agree that RUclips is a very human centered platform and it’s so fun to share your own personality and take on the world with your audience
I love how down to earth you are when you explain that it takes time to make the your presentations look effortless, that the process includes learning from your mistakes, and how you should start small and learn the skills yourself. I love your authenticity and quirkiness, and I can't imagine why anyone wouldn't like that about you. You are one of my favorite youtubers because you are an inspiration!!! Keep up the awesome work!!!
Congratulations on hitting the 10 year mark! Looking forward to another 10 years and more!
At 13.5 minutes, your light is fabulous I confirm that al natural is too dark. I appreciate all your hard work to create the videos we all enjoy so much! Fabulous work!! Thank you for your videos and sharing all your talent. Blessings and 10 more years!🎉
Beth! What a true treasure you are. We just loved watching this behind the scenes story of how these videos are made. You are a talent in the kitchen and with a camera or two or three. Thank you for this outstanding video, one I will not forget for a long time.
Congratulations on your 10 year channel anniversary! These hours that it takes to create the content are not noticeable
You make it look so effortlessly. I feel I am standing on the other side of the table and you show only to me how make a dish. It shows that you love what you do.
Beth I have been watching you since day one , and loved you the very first video♥️ I actually like the videos you have done yourself more so than when you use to have a crew. Also I like both the ring light and the other light on. It makes things look bright and clean. I adore you and all you’ve shared with us! Thank you for being real and just you !
Beth congratulations on 10 years!!! Wow! I have been watching you since the Kin Community days. After watching this video I appreciate your work so much more!!
Hi Beth! 🤗 I have to say that you inspired me so much! I absolutely love your work and I have been your fan for years! Your recipes are the best and what I love the most about you is that you share everything without asking anything back! This video is going to help me so much with my recent project (RUclips 😅). I really appreciate you sharing your knowledge Beth! ❤
Congratulations on 10 years of sharing your love of family and food with all of us. You are a treasure.
Aww thank you :). So glad you enjoy! :)
Wow! I never knew how much work went into this!! You are a perfectionist! No wonder your videos are so nice!
I had to interrupt viewing this remarkable (as always) video to express my admiration and appreciation for you. You are absolutely phenomenal and a real help in every way. Thank you.
so much congratulations, beth!! can’t believe i’ve followed you for a decade!! you have changed my life. i used to have no interest in cooking or baking, but i wanted to be able to care for my loved ones. i found your channel and it INVIGORATED me. i actually felt excited to cook because i wanted to taste and create the stuff you’re making! my first success was your banana bread, a classic. you have given me so much confidence. i have been able to feed my family and gift friends baked goods using your recipes. i love watching you and connecting with you because you are clearly such a sweet and genuine soul. you are a quality human being and i want to become more like you! you are one of the creators that my husband knows as if you are an actual friend lol! bless you, beth!!!!!!❤❤❤
You’re amazing, Beth! Thanks for all the great tips and for the advice about being kind to yourself. Keep up the great work and thanks for being such an authentic and cool person!!! 😍
Is there a way to give this video 5 stars? I've been watching your channel since you designed and built/grew your garden, loving each video. Whether you're traveling or entertaining, I'm here for all of it. This video is everything! Thank you for all the effort you put into your channel..... it shows. Congratulations on 10 years. Can't wait for your cookbook. :)
Your hard work definitely produces superior videos, which are beautiful and a pleasure to watch. I love your recipes and have made many. Hope you continue at least another ten years!
Happy 10 years❣️ I've always loved your channel, been watching for a long time, been a fan of yours for a long time. You might remember me chasing you down at the Home Show a several years ago. You are my inspiration for my RUclips channel GreenOlive Cooking. Thank you for continuing to inspire us through your video creations, your recipes, and your great smile 😊
Ha! Oh yes Lucia I remember! How are you?! I remember you also had a business in Housewares of some kind? Are you doing YT full-time now? I just made sure I was subscribed and love your intro video! So cute! And reminds me of my Italian relatives! :)
Not too bright at all. Looks great. Must on the lights. Beth, did an amazing job learning photography as a food chef. I'm a photographer and you have learned and created such beautiful work. I love your videos. I love to entertain and plan events so I especially loved the hosting party for your husband.
I've been following your channel since last year but I never get fatigued from your content. You are absolutely right about the fact that there is something just so comforting about your channel and content! I would definitely buy the cookbook!
Thank you so much for making this video! I find it really helpful. Love your style of talking. So down-to-earth and super fun!
Hello Ms. Beth! A few years back you made a video on my mother, Seja. I watched the video for the first time yesterday and I'll be honest with you, I cried. So much has changed in the past few years and I found comfort in knowing that my mum's efforts were acknowledged. I just wanted to thank you for being the cause of the nice memories I have with my mother in the kitchen. It really was a life changing banana-bread.
Thank you again.
Such an interesting and very informative behind the scenes look at how everything is done. I've always wondered how creators do it and whew!!! there is a whole LOT of work that goes on in producing videos than I thought. The fact you're a one woman team and had to learn how to do it all on your own is amazing on every level (especially as you're not a teenie bopper where tech and such comes easy). Congratulations on 10 years - so well deserved!!
Congratulations for those 10 years ! Wow! Very interesting. So much details. So much work. And well made. Love what you do and the fact that you think about people when you cook, not only the food. Well done.
Thanks Manon :). So glad you enjoyed it! Yes, it has been a journey for sure ha!
YES! We love what you do! Congratulations on 10 years! Sante' to the next ten! And yes, Yes, YES! To a cookbook!
Aww thank you!! Yes cookbook on its way!
Regarding lighting, in movies it’s done to fit the tone of the subject. Bright and cheery would represent breakfast, summer, spring. Dark, Warm and cozy is autumn, holiday seasons. That’s something I don’t see much in cooking videos. Like show us what it looks like to cook when that Southern California sunset 🌅 approaches.
Also, I enjoyed the ambience for birthday dinner party you did, that was pure outdoor cozy summer nights fantasy. Truly reminded of the one in Chocolat 😌 I would love to do all of that💯.
Thank you very much for sharing all your advices!!! You have given me more hopes on making better videos despite the fact that my husband is not supportive.
I do agree that we should only focus on if we have done better than before and if we have learned something from the process. Making videos is actually an interest for me to capture the moments of my life, my garden, and my son that I would like to look back in future. I should do it for fun and for the people we love to watch my videos. 😊
Thank you!
This is by far the best video I have ever watched on RUclips! I love how you explained everything in so much detail and how authentic you are as a person! Thank you for your hard work!
Thank you! I will be one of those new Channels!! Thank you! I am starting at 58!!! I love to cook and have put this off for so, so long!! Thank you Beth!!
Beth, I love what you do. You’re so personable and real. Your recipes and how you share the cooking and how you present them to your guests give us wonderful ideas for our own entertaining. I am not a video creator and never will be but I enjoyed watching how you do things. You’re very generous to share this with other food vloggers. 👍 Beth!
Yours is my favorite channel of all time. Thank you for being you and doing what you do. It’s inspiring, uplifting and educational for us all.
Hello Beth - Somehow I just stumbled across your channel and this video. With a much smaller channel and slightly fewer years, what a delight watching this video. I'm not sure I learned too much new but, more importantly, I've received confirmation of the so many steps, time and process. Yes, set up takes time but you MUST clean / straighten up the kitchen first. Place the lights, the stands, the tripods. Check the lights, check them again. Turn on the mic, connect the mic. Look for glare, check the framing, check the cameras, don't forget to hit record.
I've found my most successful pattern is to plan to shoot the video across two days. One day for the talking shot, one day for the close-ups. I've tried switching the order and have found it depends on the recipe. And, given my career in tech I suppose, I edit the death out of the videos before I'm happy with them. It's probably overkill but in that sense I aim for perfect imperfection. I probably spend too much time on the edit but that's where I get much of my satisfaction.
Thanks for sharing!
It's so true! I find the editing is the most fun too, and there's an old adage in film editing that goes "Movie editing is never finished, you just decide when to give up on it" LOL! That keeps things in perspective for me! So glad you enjoyed the video!
Gosh that’s a lot of work to provide us the wonderful videos you produce. I enjoy all of your videos and your recipes. Also love your time in France and day trips. All great.
You continue to amaze. How nice of you to share all this info! I don’t make cooking videos. I make soap, candles, etc. this is helpful for me. I haven’t made any videos. Some day! Thanks! Congrats on 10 years!!
You totally should! Video is such a great way to get your message across, who knows it could be great for your business! :)
Thank you! I love your RUclips videos, I just had no idea how much goes into it! I appreciate it so much more now.
You are such a blessing, Beth! I love your videos and their content! Thanks for sharing all you do!
This was so fascinating. I love these videos when you talk about how you plan and do things.
Thank you so much Beth!! You are very inspiring and I didn't realise how much work, techno and time it takes to film 1 recipe! Wow! Bravo to you! Thank you also for your amazing recipes!
Aww thanks Isabelle! I so appreciate the support! :)
I LOVE WHAT YOU DO!
Congratulations on your 10 years. You are a natural, you brighten my day and inspire me to make your yummy dishes. 😍
Invaluable, thank you so much for creating this video. I am planning on starting a cooking channel myself and I really needed to see this to start to understand the mammoth effort it is going to take. Thank you again and keep up the great work.
Yes to the extra lighting and audio. It helps when its light and bright!
Thank you Beth… I love what you do! Thank you for being you, I thoroughly enjoy your channel and recipes. Best wishes for many more years of success! And yes… cookbook!
Love your channel Beth! ❤ definitely lights!
Thank you for all your hard work. Congratulations on 10 years 👏🙌❤
Thank you for inviting us to see your day. It makes me appreciate all you put into your lovely shoots. Thanks!
Beth, I just found your videos yesterday, and I LOVE your content. You’re informative, kind, considerate and give really usable content. So far you’re the only YT’ber I’ve found that includes a menu AND a game plan. I’ve been looking for years and so glad I finally found you! Thank you so much for all your hard work, and for sharing such great content with us!
Wow! 10 years! Whoo-hoo! Great video!! Thank you for the behind the scenes how-to! Starting a Chanel has been a dream of mine for some time. I am inspired! Big hugs and thank you for stunning content. You are amazing!!
Thank you for your honesty of the good the bad and everything that goes into this… So many others won’t share behind the scenes, but give this illusion that everything is perfect and nothing ever goes wrong… You show hard work and great tips on learning, even if something went wrong. More content creators should include something like this, because this encourages me as a entrepreneur that it is possible. 😊😊😊
Cant wait to watch this next week after work cant wait to make your recipes soon for me
happy 10years!!! i'm one of those people that love your videos and i've watched some of them several times...please keep them coming...i'm a big fan 😍
Beth, don’t ever change! You’re amazing! Thoroughly enjoyed this video. And such a nice little visit from your husband, too! George is so sweet.
I love what you do! It was so interesting to watch your process. I must say, I too, was very naive and had no idea how much work goes into one video! Your work is beautiful
😂When you were explaining the close segment, I almost shut off the vid because I forgot I was watching a flashback/replay explaining everything 😂🤣🤦🏽♀️
Lol! Hilarious!
Thank you Beth, this is by far the best how-to I’ve come across. Really appreciate it.
Aww you bet! I'm so happy it was helpful! Best of luck to you! DREAM BIG!
I really appreciate all the work you put into your videos I had no idea how much goes it to it. I love your channel I found it about a year ago and I look forward to Saturdays to see the new videos I think they are so well done. Yes! please write a cookbook.
Congratulations 🎉 on 10 years. You are such an inspiration 💕
Wow! That was amazing. Didn't realize how much work you have to put in for one video. Thank you for the insight. Happy Anniversary!
Ha! Yes it's quite a process ha! But I love it! :)
Congratulations on 10 years…well done!! 🎉🥂✨…. And yes, I’m waiting for a cookbook whenever you are ready ☺️
Love this! Thank you so much for doing this tutorial. It's been super helpful to see a behind the scenes look at your whole process. I already ordered a few things through your links. The lighting and camera set up are going to be so helpful. Thanks so much Beth. Best to you!
Keep up the great work! I personally would love for you to put out a cookbook! There are too many “I Loves” about your channel, one in particular is the attention to detail when it comes to the table scapes! Cheers to many more years! Hugs
Congrats on working hard for 10 years! It was so nice to see the behind the scenes, it's not as easy as it looks! I think I started following you about 2 years ago and always love seeing what you share. Thanks!
Congratulations on your 10 year. Great information . Good luck.
CONGRADULATIONS BETH, WOULD LOVE FOR A COOKBOOK TO SEE, LOVE YOUR VIDEOS
I love what you do! Congratulations on 10years!!!
Thank you so much!! I so appreciate that! :)
Had to pause. I’ve been wanting his cookbook! I know it will be fabulous.
Oh it is!!
I love ❤️ videos and I truly believe the social Media should give it a lot more appreciation to your channel after seeing your hardwork.
Awesome video Beth. And congrats🎉
Happy Anniversary! I loved Kin and I love your videos. ❤ oh, and I love listening to you so called long videos… my favorite one is how you started your garden.
Ha! Oh yes that's a good one! :) I love that I still had that little sketch that my husband did :)
Congratulations on 10 years. I truly love what you do!!
That's so sweet of you to say! Thank you!
Thank you for posting this! Congrats on 10 years! That's amazing!
Thank you so much! It's been a fun ride for sure! :)
Thank you so much Beth. I just started a new channel and this video has been such an encouragement to me and I have learned so much. I love your style and your joyful, happy way of sharing it with others. 🪴⬜️⬛️⬜️❤⬜️⬛️⬜️🪴
Congratulation on 10 years of great recipes, great effort and great results. I love your channel. Thank you very much for this video. It is so fascinating .
Thanks a bunch for doing this video! It was so interesting to watch how much real labor and time goes into one of your cooking videos - especially as your videos are fun and entertaining and look so effortless. It proves, being a RUclipsr (or social media creator) is indeed a real job. And that it needs some serious skills, equipment but also the constant willingness/ambition to learn and grow if one likes to turn a hobby into a fulltime job.
I would love you creating more videos like this which gives us a 'behind the scenes' look now and than.
Love what you do, also like the bright light. 🎃
Thank you so much. I’m just about starting my Chocolate and Baking channel and feeling so overwhelmed already. There’s so many things I have to learn from scratch especially about cameras, video shooting techniques, etc. But I thank God that I just discovered your channel. Its so encouraging and helpful for beginners. Thanks again and God Bless
You are so welcome! Yes it can be very intimidating at first, but you will get the hang of it! And just remember every mistake it a teachable moment! I’ve learned more about cameras,audio,lighting from all the mistakes I’ve made! And its fun to look back months or years later and see how far you’ve come!!
I was exhausted watching this! I had NO IDEA!!! I’ve ALWAYS loved your videos and thought you were the absolute best on YT and now I know why!
I'm not ever going to be making my own videos, but I enjoyed every minute of watching how you create yours. The work that you put in! So impressive. I'm in awe. Sending love and best wishes from the UK. Keep creating! Addicted. ❤
Oh My Goodness! Thank you so much for sharing your "behind the scenes" video production. You're attention to detail and going the extra mile .."doing it right"...to create these videos is so inspiring. Happy 10 Years!!!! I appreciate your time, and creative energy it takes creating these videos. Just wonderful and fabulous information. Thank you so much! Love your channel, your sweet self and precious Georgie.
Thanks for this very informative behind the scene video . All the cynical people who criticize bloggers and you tubers for not doing a real job should watch it and be humbled. I love your channel, style and recipes for their genuine tone. You asked for a comment on the “halo” light- I would keep watching light or no light, I don’t mind the slightly less bright of the no light on your face solution and agree with you that it feels more natural. I absolutely love your videos in your French house which you might shoot with different gear. Thanks a lot for keeping such a fantastic channel .
I am so surprised by how much work goes into each video! No wonder your content is so fantastic!
Very informative video... thanks for all the great videos beth..... Well done .... Congratulations on the accomplishments
Thank you so much for all your hard work. 🙏 We have loved being part of your journey for many years now and are looking forward to what is coming next. If it is a cookbook, we will be the first ones to buy. 😊Lots of love from Austria, dear Beth! 💐
Aww thank you Nina! That's so sweet of you to say! It's been such a wonderful gift to have such a sweet, supportive community. I probably would have given up after a year or 2 if this wasn't the case ha!
"Bad mistakes are good mistakes" is fantastic advice. I made the same mistake of recording a whole video with no audio but now that lesson is seared into my mind. Im sure Ive heard that you need to check your audio before recording 100x but actually making that mistake and having to reshoot made the lesson unforgettable. Thank you for all the wonderful advice!
Exactly! There is nothing like a production snafu to teach you a great lesson ha! As painful as it is, you will never do it again ha! So glad you enjoyed the video!
