Want to always have B-roll for your Reels ready to go? Here’s how I batch a bunch of clips in one chill afternoon.

And I will use these clips for months! (Fun fact, some of the B-roll you’ve seen me use is from a year ago).

Trust me…you’ll thank yourself.

BONUS TIP: Grab a friend to do this with and make a shot list that makes sense for your business and scenarios you find yourself in so your B-roll aligns with what you do and you’re in your element.

And to help you out, here’s my standard shot list:

- Working on the couch
- Making coffee
- Creating on my phone
- Walking (feet & overhead shot)
- Wide shot eating, drinking, typing
- Mid shot of eating, drinking typing
- Detailed shot of computer/phone/food
- Driving
- Full body shot/fit check/mirror selfie

Save this for later and share with your content creation buddy and get ready to press record! You’ve got this 💪
