DIVERSIFYING TWITCH Jigmé expanded his cookery content to Twitch in 2020 – just before the pandemic emerged. He notes how important this decision was, as lockdowns saw streaming viewership grow exponentially. He further developed his workflow to add a teleprompter using the Studio Camera 4K Plus. “As far as Twitch is concerned, I feel I have the best technological stream in the category, at least in France,” claims Jigmé. “I have had comments from viewers asking if my kitchen is a pro studio; or saying that they have never seen such a good quality stream on Twitch. “Comments like these make me proud of how far I’ve come. I’ve spent so much time, money and energy delivering at a high level. I’m so happy to have contributed to a shift on Twitch, from being known purely for its gaming and esports live streams – to a multi-category platform.” Constantly seeking methods to develop his content, Jigmé emphasises the importance of teaching the skills correctly. “Recipe videos are exactly like cooking from a book – you can become a prisoner to the recipe. For people who aren’t used to the kitchen all the time, they start to believe cooking is about following instructions precisely. My goal is to teach the ability to cook, while being at ease.” Find Chez Jigmé at youtube.com/c/ChezJigmé YOU CAN BECOME A PRISONER TO THE RECIPE

standard for creators, Jigmé knew it was time to upgrade his entire set-up. “In 2016, I switched to the URSA Mini Pro 4.6K. A camera I chose chiefly for its cinematic feel. My favourite thing about Blackmagic cameras is their sensors, which are key to creating a professional look. I knew that Blackmagic was famous for its colour-editing capabilities, which helped make the decision.” That was the start of a journey that has seen Jigmé delve further into Blackmagic’s offerings. “Particularly when looking for streaming gear, I hadn’t realised quite how many products existed in the line. Ultimately, I went for the ATEM Mini, as it provided precisely what streamers needed. I remember thinking: ‘That’s the perfect solution!’” Rigging the Pocket 6K to his ceiling, along with a host of other gear, Jigmé has gradually built his own in-house set-up. With this kitchen-turned- studio, Jigmé has successfully made a mark with his channel and content – as of 2022, Chez Jigmé has well over 600,000 YouTube subscribers.
