How to film sex with your partner so it actually looks good
The gap between 'we filmed it' and 'this looks good' isn't your gear — it's six or seven small craft decisions I make on every shoot. Where the camera actually goes, how to light a bedroom with what you own, and why you get into it before the phone is recording.
