asked about my filming set up and how I do it! I use a selfie/tripod stick. Camera on reverse on phone so I can also watch on screen.
Basically set up your work area; boards if using, mat or mark area if not using a base. That way you can see where you need to "focus".
Set up your phone, then adjust your field of vision so you are not too far back; but not going to cut off legs, back; head etc., by moving camera around. Whole dog in frame!
I also use the screen to watch what I am doing. Try and keep within your filming area! X. Remember to hit record 😜
