Do Vlogs Make Your Nose Big?

Posted on 08 December 2009 by Jendi

Kari from A Giveaway Addicted Mommy asked this question in the comments:

Ok – so here is my question for you since I have taped 3 mingles and have not published any because…. Every time my nose looks HUGE. It isn’t that big in real life but when I watch the playback I swear it takes up the whole screen – So… since you are the tip master, can you give me a little help?

cow noseWell Kari, I prefer “vlogging queen” instead of “tip master,” but I’ll still answer your question. :)

Without seeing your video I can’t say for sure, but my first guess is that your camera is too low.  If you are using a built in camera look for some books, a box, or something to prop your computer higher.

My second guess is that your lighting needs to be moved more to the side.  You don’t want your nose to be the brightest feature on your face.

My third guess is that you are too close to the camera.  You don’t want to be so far back that it’s hard to see you, but it’s good to have more than your head and neck in the picture.

Christopher Ming Ryan from The Way We Watch recorded an awesome tip video that I embedded above.  It’s mainly about using a lap top, but he touches on the nose problem.

Hope these help and I’m looking forward to seeing you mingle!
