Here are some helpful tips that will greatly improve the listening and viewing experience of your content:
- Use a digital SLR camera (DSLR) with an extension microphone, or a quality professional or semi-professional camcorder. Using a smartphone or tablet is acceptable, but not desirable, especially when recording an ensemble.
- Be sure to use a tripod.
- Do not use optical effects (sepia, fast shooting, b / w photo, etc.)

- The performer should not be located in front of bright light sources (for example, windows)
