Batch-film these

  1. Plan all your outfits first. Iron or steam everything and hang it on a rack in the order you'll shoot. This is the single biggest time-saver.
  2. Shoot all your talking-head videos at once. Set up your lighting and camera once, and film the A-roll for 3-4 different videos in one block.
  3. Choose one location to shoot multiple videos. Film three different outfit-of-the-day videos in the same spot. Your audience won't notice if you post them on different days.
  4. Create a 'shot list' on your phone. For each video idea, jot down the 3-5 specific clips you need to get (e.g., 'close-up of shoes,' 'twirl shot,' 'walking away shot'). This prevents you from forgetting a key clip.
