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 💪
