How to look around and use what you have

In the process of making the video in the last post, I jury-rigged a setup to get a nice closeup of the project.  I used what I had, just setting my eyes on things around me.  turns out the video turned out pretty good, I do like closeups of work.  I used my phone's camera (I have a MotoZ Play phone) and when I borrowed my husband's phone, I decided to reveal the setup.  So if you all have anything to share and want to do a quick video, just look around you.  Good window light is quite important.  See following video where I showed (behind the scenes, lol) recording of the video I posted yesterday:
