Tips from Growth Amplifier by James Publishing
🎬 Creating High-Quality AI Avatars
Essential filming techniques for authentic video content
📱Use 4K Phone Recording
Film with a phone that supports 4K resolution for crisp, professional-quality footage that translates well to AI avatars.
✅ Good: 4K Quality
Sharp, detailed footage with excellent clarity for avatar processing
❌ Avoid: Low Resolution
Pixelated, blurry footage that produces poor avatar quality
📖Teleprompter App
Download a teleprompter app to maintain natural eye contact while delivering your script smoothly and confidently.
✅ Good: Eye Contact
Direct eye contact with camera creates trust and engagement
❌ Avoid: Looking Away
Looking down at notes breaks connection with audience
🖼️Film in Landscape
Always shoot horizontally to give yourself more creative flexibility and professional framing options during editing.
✅ Good: Landscape Mode
16:9 ratio provides professional framing and editing flexibility
❌ Avoid: Portrait Mode
Vertical footage limits usage and looks unprofessional
☀️Natural Lighting is Key
Position yourself facing a large window. Natural light illuminates your entire face evenly - this can transform a mediocre avatar into an exceptional one.
✅ Good: Window Lighting
Soft, even illumination from large window creates professional look
❌ Avoid: Harsh Indoor Light
Overhead lighting creates shadows and unflattering appearance
👤Frame Chest Up
Capture from chest level up to provide optimal framing for avatar creation while maintaining professional appearance.
✅ Good: Chest Up Framing
Professional business-style framing with proper headroom
❌ Avoid: Too Close/Far
Head-only shots or full body reduce avatar effectiveness
🤲Natural Hand Movements
Incorporate subtle, natural hand gestures while speaking. These movements significantly enhance avatar realism and engagement.
✅ Good: Natural Gestures
Subtle hand movements that emphasize speech naturally
❌ Avoid: Stiff/Excessive
Frozen hands or over-dramatic gestures look unnatural
🎭 The Secret: Script Topic Matters ▼
Goal: 2+ minutes of footage (300-400 word script)
Choose topics that bring out your personality: favorite TV shows, movies, food, sports, dream travel destinations. The key is selecting something that makes you forget you're filming - something that brings out the BEST version of you and helps you relax naturally on camera.
