    Just found your channel and the second one of your videos started I knew I was way out of my depth in terms of understanding your filming. Then I found this video and realized my intuition was 100% correct haha. Anyway, your production is beautiful just amazing. I can't think of anyone in the youtube-guitar sphere who even comes close to this. I'm guilty of using my smartphone at times along with the insta 360 cam and a lumix g7. Right now, the priority is speed, so I record direct with a capture card and OBS (my camera is basically always on and setup in one area so I can go from nothing to recording in seconds). Maybe one day when I have more space I can attempt to implement some of these tips! Thanks for your work. Truley inspirational.

    Great points! I'm struggling to get manual focus to work very well because if I move my guitar or face it gets out of focus. I'm using a Canon 90D with Sigma 18-35 Lens. I have been using auto focus for close up shots for my hands and guitar but with my face in the shot it takes focus away. Driving me crazy. Any ideas how to make manual focus work for my face and hands/guitar both? 😐
