Before You Start

  • Clean the furniture and remove clutter from the background
  • Ensure good lighting - natural light from windows works best, avoid harsh overhead lights.
  • Have treats or toys ready to keep your pet's attention

Camera Setup

  • Hold your phone vertically for TikTok/Reels
  • Clean your camera lens with a soft cloth
  • Turn on grid lines in your camera settings to help with composition
  • Lock exposure and focus by tapping and holding on your pet

Filming Technique

  • Get down to your pet's eye level for more engaging shots
  • Start from far away and move closer and then either stay still or move out again. This is a great example.
  • Keep your phone steady - use both hands or prop it against something stable
  • Film in 4K if your phone supports it for better quality
  • Capture multiple short clips rather than one long video
  • Record 3-5 seconds before and after the main action for editing flexibility

Composition Tips

  • Position your pet off-center using the rule of thirds
  • Leave some space around your pet in the frame
  • Ensure the furniture complements rather than overwhelms the shot
  • Watch for distracting elements in the background

Getting the Shot

  • Be patient - let your pet settle naturally on the furniture
  • Capture authentic moments rather than forcing poses
  • Use treats or sounds to direct their gaze toward the camer
  • Film several takes to ensure you have options
