Filming my layout has actually become one of the most fun parts of the hobby for me. I am not using anything fancy just my phone, with a tiny tripod or slider if I want a smoother shot. The lighting makes all the difference, I keep things bright but soft, since harsh shadows make everything look less real.
What really gave my videos some life was shooting right at track level. It suddenly felt like you were standing beside the rails instead of looming down from above. And editing? I’m lazy: just trim out the jittery clips, slap in some faint train sounds for atmosphere, and I usually call it good. No flashy effects just let the trains do the talking.
