How to Film the Perfect Video for Ochy: 3 Simple and Creative Options
Dec 13, 2024
At Ochy, we’re here to help you analyze and improve your running technique, but it all starts with capturing the perfect video. Not sure how? Don’t worry—we’ve got three easy ways to get it done, no matter your setup.
Option 1: The Tripod Pro
The simplest and most reliable option is using a tripod. Think of it as your personal cameraman—steady, quiet, and always ready.
- Set up your tripod in a stable position.
- Adjust the phone so it captures you from the side, showing your entire body from head to toe.
- Start running while the camera stays perfectly still!
No tripod? No problem! You can improvise using props like a water bottle, a bench, or even a wall to hold your phone steady. Just make sure your setup is stable and your body is fully in the frame.
Option 2: The Runner Buddy
Got a running friend? Ask them to film you! It’s a great way to team up while keeping things simple.
- Position your friend so they can film you from the side.
- Remind them to keep the camera steady and not follow you as you run.
- Congratulate him for his precious help!
No runner buddy available? Ask a friendly stranger! Most people are happy to lend a hand, and you might even make a new running friend in the process.
Option 3: The Family MVP
Sometimes, the best help comes from home. Whether it’s your partner, your child, or even a particularly cooperative pet, you can rely on your family to get the job done.
- Hand them your phone and show them how to frame the shot (side view, full body).
- Let them have fun being your “camera crew”!
- Laugh about it later—especially if your dog tries to take the credit.
Filming Checklist for the Perfect Video
No matter which method you choose, here’s a quick checklist to ensure your video is Ochy-ready:
- Camera stability: Make sure the phone stays still—no shaky footage!
- Side view: You should be visible from head to toe, with your full body in the frame.
- One person only: Avoid extra distractions—this video is all about you!
Ready to Analyze Like a Pro?
With these simple tips, there’s no excuse not to capture a great running video. Whether you use a tripod, a buddy, or a family member, the key is to keep it steady, clear, and focused on you.
