Most creative businesses hide behind their work. Polished portfolio, beautiful designs, but no real person behind it. And now AI can build a beautiful brand in a couple of clicks, so polished isn't rare anymore. It's the baseline. Showing your face is what builds know, like and trust. It's what turns a stranger into a premium client. But most creatives try filming themselves, feel stiff and awkward, and quietly give up. Not because they're bad on camera. Because nobody's ever shown them how to shoot it. So that's what this video is. The simple setup, the script, the framing and the edit, start to finish. You'll learn: ✅ The setup mistake that makes people scroll before they've heard a word ✅ The exact kit we use, and why audio matters more than lighting ✅ How to write a script that sounds like you, not an essay ✅ The 3 shot distances that stop your feed blurring into one ✅ How to record so you've got options in the edit ✅ The tiny eye-line trick that makes your videos easier to watch 🎯 Chapters 0:00 Two types of creative business 1:00 Quick intro 1:35 The Mistake Creatives Make 2:29 xxx 3:16 Step 1: The gear (iPhone, mic, teleprompter) 5:05 Step 2: Writing a Script that sounds like you 6:00 Step 3: Framing and Shot Distances 7:10 Step 4: Pressing Record 7:39 Step 5: The Simple Edit 8:36 Bonus: Your eye line 9:22 Recap 9:31 Watch this next 🎥 What we use iPhone 13 on a tripod DJI clip-on mic nPrompt Smart Pro teleprompter app Edited in Premiere Pro (or CapCut / Instagram Edits if you're starting out) Full list with links in the free community → https://www.skool.com/the-creative-fo... 🎥 Watch next: How Creative Businesses Get Clients Without Referrals →    • It took me 8+ years to realise what I’ll t...   💰 Free training: How to reach $30K months without relying on referrals → https://coaches.nicoleandjames.co/reg... 🤝 Work with us in the 6-Figure Creative Club → https://nicoleandjames.co/ 📸 Instagram:   / nicoleandjames.co   About Nicole & James We're business coaches for ambitious creatives.
