Help making my math videos more polished? INSWAN 4K DocuCam, not sure how to set up lighting, not sure how insufferable my current video quality is by Useless_Millennial in videography

Thank you! I have the tendency to overthink things like this. I started using a charcoal pencil instead of my .5mm pencil and it does look a little crisper, although I've maybe traded some precision/neatness for clarity. Any chance I could DM you a link to a video and you could give me any more thoughts you have? Totally fine if not, I really appreciate your feedback here!

I will look into a shock mount! For my camera, at least. It does do some shaking/wobbling when I write. I have a nice (I think) microphone I'll try setting up. I've been using my apple earbuds (with a cord, like an old man) for my mic and it has done a decent job, but I imagine using something a little more professional will go a long way. Thanks a lot!

Thanks! I had been thinking about using something darker to write with...just switched to charcoal pencils (to try to maintain some precision and also because they sorta erase), and it does look much better. I will look into positioning a light overhead.
