In this premiere episode of Small Tweaks, Pro Results, Suzie and Kirsty share two deceptively simple video tips that continue to transform the way everyday people — just like you — create powerful videos using nothing more than a smartphone.

We kick things off with Suzie’s go-to filming habit: rehearsing your pan before hitting record. It’s a small tweak that eliminates shaky, uncertain movement and gives your videos purpose and polish. Whether you're filming landscapes, action, or interviews, this habit makes a huge difference. Suzie shares how this tip blew the minds of volunteer SES videographers — and how it can elevate your footage too.

Then Kirsty tackles one of the biggest barriers to confident on-camera delivery: scripting. Or more accurately… overscripting. Too many people try to write their videos word-for-word — and end up sounding stiff, nervous, and disconnected. Kirsty shares how swapping to bullet points helps you sound more natural, stay flexible, and most importantly — connect. You’ll hear a real example from a recent regional council training where this tweak helped someone shift from “frozen” to “fabulous” on camera.

This episode is all about showing how tiny adjustments in your workflow can lead to big improvements in quality, confidence, and viewer engagement.

🎯 What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• Why most people ruin their pan shots before they even start filming — and how to fix it
• The importance of “rehearsing the move” instead of just hitting record
• How scripted delivery can actually backfire — and what to do instead
• A mindset shift that reduces performance anxiety and boosts your natural delivery
• Real stories from the field: SES videographers and council communicators who made these exact changes
