"VERY good audio - then VERY good lighting - THEN very good content" <<< I think this is what trips up a lot of people. Plenty of average folks don't know how to do it or don't have the proper equipment to do this VERY good audio and lighting. It feels like a barrier to entry, no?

Ahhhh soooo good!

Very good audio means: somewhere quiet and the mics I use are $100 for my desktop and $25 for my mobile lavs… however!

The built in mics in the newer iPhones (13 and on) and on any M1 (and above) Mac are good enough to start - then use good software (Davinci Resolve is free and CapCut is low cost and Descript, somewhat low cost).

Lighting can mean a simple ring light ($100) OR natural (free) lighting in your home or office.

Now I’m thinking I should show a super simple set up and the cost… #gotmybraingoing!

That would be awesome to show it. I do have a little lav mic 🎤 that I've hardly ever used but it makes a huge difference in audio quality. And as you've seen in our zoom chats, I could totally use lighting 🤣
