Food Video School: From First Recipe Shot to Finished Edit
Food Video School by Ben and Laura of October Creative follows the real order of making a recipe video: recipe storyboards, your style, camera settings, shooting angles, making food look appealing, professional editing and exporting for different platforms. The course page lists 100+ video lessons in 14 main sections, with supplementary materials, raw footage examples and editing presets. The instructors have made food videos for popular food blogs including Gimme Some Oven, Oh She Glows and Minimalist Baker.
The course goes beyond theory. It includes behind-the-scenes shooting for recipes such as chocolate chip muffins, banana pancakes and patatas bravas, full-length editing sessions in Premiere Pro, a lesson on applying VSCO filters in Lightroom and final edited recipe videos so you can compare your own result with a finished example. Raw footage for one of the recipes is included, so you can practise the edit yourself.
A separate section covers creating videos with an iPhone: extra equipment, the native camera app, the Mavis camera app, shooting tips and how to use the footage. If you do not own a professional camera, that section alone gives you a way to start.
The color side is covered too, with Lumetri color presets and color grading LUTs, plus bonus Q and A videos on topics such as effects, color tips, natural light and what to do with your finished video.
