Technology

This tutorial was filmed using an iPhone Xs hooked to a computer, on a box, on a tray. The light was a combination of natural light and flashlights. iMovie was used to combine all clips. Placeit was used to design the intro video. This is simply my way of saying that you CAN do it, for free!
