Shoot-day prep checklist (the night before)

Shoot-day prep checklist (the night before)
Fumbling on camera wastes your best light. Prep is a checklist, not a vibe.

— Phone storage cleared, 30GB+ free
— Phone in airplane mode (no mid-take calls)
— Battery 100% + power bank charged
— Product staged and clean on camera
— Lighting tested at your actual shoot time
— Mic checked with a 10-sec test clip
— Hooks printed or on a second screen
— Outfit/background matches brand vibe

Run all 8 the night before, never morning-of. Hang it by your setup. Rinse and repeat every shoot.
