This cooking demonstration was filmed using an iPhone Xs taped to a tall chair. The light was a combination of natural light and flashlights that was reflected using sheets paper taped together all over the kitchen. iMovie was used to combine all clips, add a voice-over, and add the ‘travel’ theme music.
