- This video was hugely requested and I thought it would be super useful for any kind of video that would benefit from a birds-eye view of your desk or workspace.
So that could be anyone who wants to do speed-painting videos or 'draw with me's or 'draw my life', 'plan with me' type videos or any sort of craft or DIY video! Hope it's been useful!
·Equipment·
I got most of the supplies featured in this video from Amazon* ;
-Pentax K-r (US) amzn.to/1mdvMZv (UK) amzn.to/1lXZLVI
-Tripod (US) amzn.to/1OdXVfV (UK) amzn.to/1msvI8J
-Desktop Lighting (US) amzn.to/1mdwd6f (UK) amzn.to/1lXZZfK
The US link to the lights is not the exact same as the ones I have (due to availability) but they are more or less the same thing.

This was refreshing to see amazing work done with such simple and easy equipment, Thank you for your honesty, this will help and inspire a lot of people.
Very good advice! you have an awesome voice for narration too.
Thank you lovely!
Minnie Small · SemiSkimmedMin You're very welcome, I've been following your channel because even though I'm not doing similar things I find great attachment to your creative ideas. All the best for you and the channel!

This is so encouraging/enlightening...the fact that we could technically start with what we have, not waiting until we have the right equipment. “Just do it”❣️✨
Oh my goodness! Thank you so much for making this video! You have unlocked so many mysteries for me. I had so much trouble trying to make my first video that I ended up taking photos to make a stop-motion video. I absolutely love these tips and can't wait to use them for making my next video... which I was putting off because making the first one was so draining! 😂👍❤️
Girl, you're amazing! The only person so far who showed how to get around just using the tripod
I've only just come across your videos ... they're amazing, this particular one especially as it gives really good instructions from an artist's point of view about filming work as you go. A very big thank you. I hope you're still making videos.
Great video Minnie, this will inspire some future videos for me.
This answered many questions that I've been trying yo figure out. Thanks for sharing what you do.
I've checked out a few videos on overhead filming and yours is the most straightforward. Thanks so much!
Thanks very much! I'm trying to do some videos of handwriting on my desk with a fountain pen. I particularly liked your suggestion of leaning the tripod and weighting down or tying down the back, longer leg. Plus, your suggestion of anchoring a selfie stick in a bucket using a blanket or towel is brilliant. Thanks again. - Christopher
I love the simplicity of your equipment and the results are fantastic! Thank you so much for sharing this, i really wanted to start filming but was worried of not having enough money to buy equipment but i will give it a go with the things i already have!
This has given me some great ideas to switch around my filming! Thanks for sharing. Soooo helpful! (and subscribed
I'm glad to help! Thanks for watching 😊
Ya thanks for your video, especially setup part
OMG HEYYYYYY
Brilliant. Thank you Mini! I’m so not a tech-y and needed a video like yours to explain things. Simple and so to the point. Just great!
The selfie stick set up was cheaper than the alternative I was looking at doing. This is also helping me with my live stream set ups on twitch, and I'm so thankful I stumbled upon this video!!!!
I love this it’s so practical for someone just starting out and doesn’t have a lot to spend on gear thank you so much
Oh my gosh, this video is super helpful! I want to start my own art channel, as a way of setting myself goals, encouraging me to draw and paint every day etc, but at the moment I'm unemployed, so I was at a loss for how to record. I'm glad you shared the tip about the selfie stick, and the phone camera :D
could you make an updated video like this?
I love this simple but out of the box thinking. thank you!
Thank you for this video! I know this is four years old but I am SOOOOOO gratful I found this today! I thought I was crazy-like there was a some magic formula for setting up a time lapse video that every professional artist out there understood. It's all trial and error!- now I know. Again, thank you, and I'm keen to follow your progression as a fellow artist. Thank you for sharing.
I also use my iPhone and selfie stick to do my videos. I have a shelf above my station that I’m able to prop the phone onto that overlooks my art. I just struggle with lighting so really looking at investing in a good light that will give me consistent lighting for my videos. Thank you so much for sharing the towel in a bucket idea though. That’s so clever!
This is really helpful. Thank you.
I'd love to see an updated version of this, to see what camera you are now using, and what you use to edit your videos. Thanks :)
this was INCREDIBLY helpful!! Thank you seriously so much! I've only discovered your channel looking for ways to improve my videos but I genuinely love all your content!
This was really well produced MInnie! This is the first time I saw a video of yours and and I appreciated that you just got to the point and had helpful information, much appreciated!
You have some very creative methods of getting those great angles! Thanks for sharing
This seems to be the most practical and affordable way that anyone could try. Thanks so much for sharing selfie bar idea and also utilising a normal tripod!
Thank you so much for sharing these tips with us. I feel like a lot of people who post art videos on youtube keep their filming techniques a secret, or don't think to make a video about them.
thank you for doing this...... and for speaking in a calm clear way(unfortunately lots of people DONT do this). Thanks also for sharing a lot of useful ideas and tips !!
Thank you soooo much for these ideas, it's like the most basic ideas i can get😍 i am really grateful to have found you.
Great video ! I will absolutely try to implement some of your tips in my videos
. Love your content
Thank you for sharing these helpful tips on how to set up camera while working on desk.
I like how creative you are in securing the tripod and selfie stick... I like simple and effective ideas... well done!
That was really helpful. I subscribed to your channel some weeks ago and now I can't stop watching your videos. I really find it very interesting because of its content. Also, your way of filming/editing is very dynamic but soft to the eye. Congrats on your awesome work and thanks for the inspiration! (I'll probably end up making art-videos too, so thank you for your tips!)
Very helpful. Thank you for the tutorial. Also, I love your clean shots and stylizing. It looks well thought-out.
Thank you very much for your ideas! I try to make my first short videos for colour-combination and style and looked for possibilities..
Thanks for this video. Glad I came across it and your beautiful art work!
This is such a good video! Going to record a DIY using the selfie stick set up! Thank you so much 💕
Very helpful video tips! I need to get a light and that tip with the bucket and blanket is a great idea!
straight to the point short and very useful tips. thank you
Your house is so neat, can u give a house tour one day?
That selfie stick thing is genius, thank you so so much for sharing it!
I used my cellphone and a tripod and it’s working great. I really like your lighting tips, I think I will get one of those to make my work space brighter😃
Wow, very smart ideas! And thanks for the speedy answers. Very happy I ran into your channel! 🙌👌
you saved my life right now. I needed to find this video! lol. I'm on my way to get these things and begin recording my art videos. thank you so so much!!
Oh dear!!! You’re smart! More than that you’re so courageous!!! Cheers 🥂 and thanks for the tips!
Thank you for making this video! Lots of great advice.
Thank you so much for the tips! 🤗 And I looove you narration!
Good ideas! Can really appreciate the struggles sometimes using things you find around you, but anything can work! Anyone can do it!
Such a great video! One thing what anyone can learn from this video is that we don't need a costly set up to be successful. Thanks a lot for this video 😊
You have the sweetest most pleasant voice I’ve heard… music to my ears.❤️❤️❤️
oh my gosh that you so much you dont know how much this helped me i was trying to see what table i should use and lighting thank you so much!
how did i never think of just using something heavy to weigh down the tripod to get shots like this?! brilliant! thank you so much!
This is the most useful video I've found on filming your drawings! Thank you.

This blows my mind. I love your inventiveness. You've achieved what others have used expensive equipment for using basic things you own. Very inspiring. I'm sure you've got other equipment now, but this goes to show that you're a true creative! 👏👏👏👏
Thank you 😊😊 and welcome to my channel! Lovely to have you! I might make an updated version of this video soon; I’ve changed my setup but it’s still pretty diy lol
Thank you so much for this video. Super helpful to see you can set it up without spending a lot ☺
Thank you for sharing your process 🙏
So incredibly helpful, and your art is beautiful. Thank you!!!!!!
Thank you so much for this video. It gave me ideas for filming with side angles using a selfie stick.Thank you again. 😊
Great video. Simple and clear descriptions of your set up.
I always love the tones of your videos so nice
Just found this today and was so useful! Answered all of my questions in a short amount of time. Thank you!
Super helpful when starting out and saving up for equipment
Very cool a boom Box 80's stile. Great video.
Good idea.. I have been having trouble shooting from the right angle. Thanks for sharing!
Ngl, the idea of using reverse-wrapping paper as a blank floor space is a BRILLIANT idea as most of us have a least that much wrapping paper left over from Christmas! :D thanks so much!
My gosh! I’ve been asking so many RUclipsr‘s for this video. Thank you for sharing this with us XOXO
tried the selfie stick idea. worked like a charm. Thanks for saving me hundreds of dollars on equipment! Brilliant!
Would it be possible to make an updated version of this ? maybe talk about your new cameras , tips or so on shooting , I love your videos and your style is so clean!
Thank you so much, this really helped me a lot, I appreciate your effort.
Was planning to buy those phone/camera holders for my art/drawing videos and I came accross ur post. that selfie stick hack is fab! definitely trying that! Ghad! u made me save a fortune! thanks
So realistic everything! Love it. Thanks.
Short, simple, and useful tips. Thank you!
Thank you so much. Im still struggling with my videos, I still cant find a way to get the angles I want. Your video has helped me a lot giving me new ideas to try.
Thanks! Great explanation on how to film my craft tutorials!
Great tips! I've just started making art youtube videos and didn't realise how annoying the camera cutoff time would be. Mine stops every 20 mins so it's better than 10, but I still miss it sometimes and chunks of my speed paintings are missing :( Great job though - loved watching this
Thanks for watching! There's nothing worse than checking your camera and realising it's not recording anymore!!
Apparently the recording limit was set by the EU to differentiate between digital (still) cameras and digital (video) cameras so that different import tariffs could be applied. www.tested.com/tech/photography/44445-why-digital-cameras-have-a-30-minute-video-recording-limit/ As far as I can work out aspirations to apply WTO rules (no discriminatory taxes/duties) instead of EU rules still have not been achieved.
Me too, my canon turns off after 12mim, so annoying. Thinking about getting a cam recorder!
Same tooo thak you so much minnie❤
Thankfully mine beeps at me when it cuts off so I can catch it with minimal interruption.
Great tips! Thanks for sharing as it help a lot.
Great video; answered all of my questions! Very informative!
Could you make an updated video like this??! 💘 i loved this so incredibly much
From what I can assume, your channel includes your art. Based on this video, I felt it necessary to subscribe. I love the smoothness of this video. Very nice editing, imho. All of the elements mesh really well together. Love it!
Thanks for sharing this video,I really liked the selfie stick stand idea.
I want to start making these kind of videos. thanks for the tips!
Thank you so much for this video! It really helps me honestly ✨
Thanks for sharing, your ideas and tips are great
O MY GOODNESS i am so so grateful i found this video and your channel. You're amazing thank you thank you
great ideas, love the bank as an anchor! an old small pillow/clothe bag filled with pebbles/sand works great as a counter weight as well and its cheap. I've even used bungee straps and even canoe tie-downs to hold a tripod steady, any port in a storm, right !
Love the diy sandbag idea 👍
Without doubt one of the best and clearest videos I have found here. Excellent job and thanks so much for doing this.......I really haven't got a clue about any of this and now I have some idea where to start, Thank you!!!
You're welcome! I'm so happy to help :)
Very helpful tips! Thanks for sharing 🌸
Extremely helpful, thank you for sharing!
BEAUTIFUL VIDEO! THANK YOU FOR SHARING.
i just thought of buying a tripod for my dslr, but when it comes to the selfie stick, i think its way better for me to start with a phone first. thank you for sharing this 😊😊
I have been using this tutorial to create my videos. 😍 thank you! ❤
