Common Batch Filming Mistakes

  • Label files clearly (e.g., "Intro_Hook1.mp4").
  • Stay hydrated and take short breaks between takes.
  • Batch similar shots together (all intros, all CTAs).

❌ Don't:

  • Attempt batch-filming without a clear shot list.
  • Overcommit—start with 3–5 videos, then scale up.
  • Neglect backup—lost footage means wasted effort.
  • Film for hours non-stop—fatigue kills performance.
