Videos

Keep videos under 5 minutes. For anything longer the video better be awesome.

Upload videos to Youtube or Vimeo.

Hardware

Get a camera to take pictures and basic videos, a camcorder for quality videos, and a tripod to keep them stable without holding them. Linear rails to slide the tripod is nifty.

A wear-on wireless microphone and sensitive mike works well for quality audio.

Lighting and accessories will also be a big thing.
