So if somebody's totally in their head about it, like what do you say to them?

What do you say?

Yeah.

You know, what's really interesting that I didn't, I mean, you would think with all the camera gear we're always looking at and everything we're looking to buy, you would think I would have seen this before.

I'd never seen it until yesterday, but they were saying, I saw a video on Instagram.

I was like, do you ever wonder how they get those Netflix style interviews from people?

Random people.

Yeah.

And have you seen this thing that they use?

So like, obviously if you've ever read from a teleprompter, you understand there's a piece of glass there.

Of course.

and then there's a reflection and you're reading the words, but the camera's behind the glass so you can't see it.

They have this thing that's like a half circle that goes in front of the camera so the interviewer can be off at a 90 degree angle.

So the person in front of them is seeing the reflection of their face directly behind the camera and reflection.

And so the camera's shooting right through the middle of the reflection of their face from the side.

And that's how, cause I'm always wondering like, you know, I have these people that are used to doing presentations, are used to doing all of these things.

And they're like, you put them in front of a camera and it's like, they just get sucked into it and get lost.

And so, you know, my advice is if you're having trouble talking to a camera,

Put a piece of glass in front of it and talk to yourself.

Put something in front of it that's going to cause a reflection that you can see you instead of that.
