Learn 'How to' pick the very best talking-head videos lens for YOUR specific situation and how to look better (and thinner) on camera. I base my decision on TWO main factors and then I finally decide based on the 'look' I am going for. My final answer might surprise you, but this is exactly how I would recommend you to go about when looking for the perfect talking-head video.
Shoutout to Caleb Pike (DSLR Video Shooter), Rubidium Vu (Crimson Engine) and Gerald Undone (Gerald Undone... he's crazy!) for inspiring me to make this video.
