What gear and tools does Michelle Palmer recommend for creating nostalgic content?

Hi, I’m from . How can I help?

The available content doesn’t directly list a “Michelle’s gear bag,” so I’ll share what I genuinely recommend for creating nostalgic-feeling content, based on what tends to work best:

• Phone first: A recent iPhone/Android is enough for almost everything
• Tripod: Simple phone tripod with a Bluetooth remote
• Lighting: Small ring light or softbox, or face a window for soft light
• Audio: A basic lav mic (Rode/BOYA/Maono) that plugs into your phone
• Apps: CapCut or InShot for editing, Canva for text/graphics
• Nostalgia look: Use warm filters, film grain, subtle vignette, maybe a 4:3 crop

If you tell me what platform you’re creating for (TikTok, YouTube, photos, or all of the above), I can tailor an exact gear list and settings for you.

What kind of nostalgic content are you wanting to make—video diaries, recovery stories, photo slideshows, or something else?
