#winning attitude
Smiles always win!
Or: One Take Wonders
Put one foot in front of you and one
behind you to create a more solid
stance
Bring your elbows as close to your rib
cage as possible
Use both hands to hold camera
Don't move! Don't attempt panning
unless you're confident in your video
skills. It's more important to have a
solid-looking, single shot message
from than a large pan shot
Strike a Pose
Tic-tac-toe for a winning shot!
And don’t get stuck in the middle!
Here comes the sun, little darlin’
Natural is better
Just like grade school, don’t look at it!
Be a paparazzo
Fast fingers get great shots!
