How to present like a boss | Jamie Oliver & Uncle Ben’s


welled up foodtubers ok very exciting
we’re gonna cook a beautiful summer
spaghetti up to mars and chiles and
olives and basil but that’s actually not
the real reason that i’m doing this
video this video is about how can we get
you guys to enter your recipes into the
food tube search for a food tube star
competition with Uncle Ben
there’s tips from myself and the rest of
the gang on how you can be the best kind
of maker of food videos this one we’re
gonna just cook and it’s just kind of
little tips on kind of what the camera
sees and how you can work with a camera
come here come come here camera but can
is your camera but also we’re talking to
you at home some of the filming tips
that I think of when I’m cooking you
with me okay let’s begin so when you’re
ready to film get your stuff ready get
organized
I’ve got all my ingredients out got my
water boiling I’ve got my pan ready and
raring to go anything that you need to
see you know you’ve got to sort of make
sure you do see either if you’re filming
it yourself hold it up or if you’re
using a cameraman that we are or a
friend you know just favor it up to them
so spaghetti goes in I’m going to twist
it like that pan always season our war
your job and we’re talking technical now
so sort of explain you know what you
have around you or what you’re excited
about so you know I’ve grown these so
I’m really excited about that also it’s
quite nice to talk about the fact that
there’s so many different variations of
tomato it’s not just a standard red
boring one this was a good email it’s
got very I think close-ups are really
important now whether you’re filming it
yourself on a on an iPhone or something
you can get it down and literally I just
put my iPhone there like that filming
what I’m doing it doesn’t matter that
you can’t see me in actual fact I prefer
it and we’re gonna get right in there
and get as close as you can I’ll bring
the the tomato to the same place every
time so get those close-ups because
remember it’s the close-ups that are
telling the story of food I mean at the
end of the day the most important
ingredient that you can put in is your
passion and a good simple recipe
things that are dynamic things that need
grilling things that pan fry things that
get tossed and shaved and beaten and
pounded that’s very very sort of visual
and people understand that think about
the dish you’re going to choose for your
audience and I think if you can do
something that’s fast and tasty
you’re onto a winner
if you’re making a video to be put up on
foodtube or YouTube it’s up to you as
the cook to ask the cameraman you know
to kind of follow it in the way you want
it okay also notice that when I’m
slicing I’m slicing favoring the
cameraman if I chop it like this you
can’t see nothing yeah if I chop it like
this right you can see everything okay
so when you’re you know for the cooks
you know there’s no point in you kind of
spooning stuff towards you because all
you do is get in the back of a spoon
you have to slightly oddly spoon away
from you pan hot olive oils gone in I’m
gonna go in with my fragrant things here
it’s really nice to get the camera in
there for close-ups but also sometimes
it’s really nice to toss that right in
the camera’s face as well
smell and taste you can’t get so
describing what’s happening but the
garlic’s getting really crisp it smells
amazing those herbs are really really
beautiful I’m gonna pick up these
Tomatoes now I can offer it up to the
camera and then take it down
I might squeeze in a little lemon juice
and that and the oil and a pinch of salt
will be gorgeous gorgeous moist
delicious pork clean and juicy inside
but notice here it’s naari so if there’s
any important tips you know like the
stuff that you don’t mention but you
know about so you know you don’t just
drain the pasta
it’s the pasta water you know and the
oil that kind of makes this sort of
pasta silky and gorgeous so you can’t
forget to tell them that so we’re just
gonna toss this up absolutely gorgeous
like you haven’t got to be a chef to be
valid you know as a sort of all thority
you just have to be passionate and look
like you’ve made it a thousand times and
you should have you know so like if
you’re sort of struggling to do anything
that looks really weak if you’re rubbish
and use like Clank Clank Clank but I
don’t care that’s cool
you know so just go with it I’m gonna
plate this dish up here if you’ve got a
little background like this and we just
played that up like that a nice
beautiful platter of summer spaghetti
with greenhouse to mars and all the
trimmings simplicity itself
and at this stage guys it’s worth kind
of thinking about your thumbnail your
thumb now that you’re gonna put up on
foodtube that represents the dish it
could be you holding some raw
ingredients like this quick you know you
can use a screen grab from filming but
often they’re not great so always get us
still as well so good luck remember good
close-ups remember work to the camera
all right guys lots of love and good
luck and if you want to look for any of
the details for the fine new food tube
