[@robertgiani8195]

you should create a film making challenge for all of your subscribers

[@ClashwithPresto]

Oh please make a short film challenge for your subs, then you can showcase the top three and give your critiques

[@simon_patterson]

DSLRguide I was wondering about that. Thanks for the heads up. Sometimes I let the preroll ad run its full course on your channel (I often watch your episodes multiple times) but I won't bother for this one.

[@philyb3040]

+Robert Giani good idea! 🙏🏻

[@darkmew64]

To me, it looks like the video is monetized. And if it isn't, then you should fight it with fair use.

[@simon_patterson]

That pepper analogy was brilliant. You have a real knack of explaining things clearly and succinctly.

[@matissparadise5799]

he's the best

[@MusicByDarcy]

Yeah he really took the cake with that one. It really could of been apples and oranges of a difference without that analogy! :P

[@salt6787]

Nigga succ what?!?

[@AidinRobbins]

You explained framerates and it . . . made sense :0 Simon you are now officially divine

[@NahuelMontesino]

Simon you are the reason of why i'm starting a shortfilm with some friends, and why i decided to be a filmaker... You are a big inspiration for many people, keep it like that.

[@lia7847]

I just want to say thank you for this Channel, honestly. You have aided me in every step of the way in the short films I post on this platform, especially my most recent one. Thank you so much, you've helped a generation of filmmakers make their art. Keep up the great work Simon!

[@SimplyHandmade]

Breaking things down for me to understand is key. You do an amazing job each and every time.

[@shannonm.sutherland4064]

I totally agree that there is something majestic about slow motion if used in the right context. Like how Von Trier used it to express depression in Melancholia; absolutely beautiful and my favorite use of slow motion in a film.

[@PurazarBhadha]

Thanks for taking the time to make these videos. Sometimes there is stuff in here that I might already know but I watch it in its entirety just for your story telling and video editing skills! Great work Simon.

[@aedays]

Hi, Simon! Thank you for creating this channel and helping a lot of aspiring filmmakers. I always go back to your videos whenever we have a new project coming up in one of our broadcasting and film classes. I have learned a lot from you and I look forward to watching more of your upcoming videos!

[@HeronTelevision]

Great video! I teach a middle school video production class, and slo-mo is a class favorite. Thanks for explaining not only how to record in slo-mo, but when to use it. I think my students will appreciate.

[@BrianJohn94]

Your ability to story-tell and explain your points make absolutely fantastic videos

[@aitis481]

Wow! Thia was my first video that i have ever seen from you and this was fantastic!

[@hoodzie9671]

Hi Simon! wondering if you could do a video on how to come up with a storyline, or even better-make one up for all us subs to try. i stugfle with a good structure. Thanks!

[@valentinn3507]

These shots of cambridge brought back so many emotions, oh my god

[@zoiphotographer]

You are a talent! Love your videos it feel like to watch a movie fiction episode each tome, and not just a tutorial ... I hear you sometime complaining a lot about how much hard is to be a film maker or videographer but really; I guess the narrative and the way you are editing you video is itself a precious quality that only a small percentile of people own ... I guess that's the way to go ... Thanks you for sharing ...

[@hyouzhe]

Your music also brilliant！Love it！

[@mjadimaiwat]

this was brilliant. can't believe I didn't see this sooner. thanks loads :)

[@Massswin]

Nice shot and congrats for 500k subscribed 👍👍

[@ignitedcanvas6729]

Could you do a video on how to do a scene without music? I remember this one scene in Harry Potter where the Death Eaters are chasing after the trio and it's really fast paced but the only sounds are the ones that would naturally be in the scene, but amplified (heavy breathing, spells cracking against trees, footsteps). I want to know the best way to make a scene impactful without music

[@geje1384]

Very useful, and very well explained!

[@Urbanamazone]

Great video. Very infomative! Thank you~

[@exaltik8562]

GREAT VIDEO! Very helpful!

[@kartatroena]

thanks you cade for your tutor... its great...

[@HamzaSaeedchannel]

So Good, i have learned so much from this channel.Stay Blessed Simon.

[@amirharodi3822]

Loved the ending! And the video itself

[@levelclimbingvideos5819]

Brilliant film! Very quirky and useful.

[@chelseamarie9773]

Thank you so much for all these wonderful videos! I've been learning a lot!! BTW what type of lens were you using?

[@AbdallahBotan]

best class about slow mo. Thanks guys.

[@JorisDietz]

omg that last metaphor, so clever!

[@subhashgoragund6470]

you guys are doing a great job

[@rogerg_zapata]

Thank you, it was really useful!

[@rahuldeshpande7159]

Amazingggg.. Love u bro !!

[@MarcoAndreFilms]

thanks for the quality content man!

[@JungleBodywithTasha]

this was super helpful and no unnecessary chatter! big thumbs up thank you! You also have a nice voice! haha

[@vournalist]

I love how people use slow motion. I really have just started seeing the beauty of it. -Nancy :)

[@ScrambledO]

Helpful that you also shoot with the t3i. Sure wish it captured 60fps in 1080. Would love to have a sharp image for the slow motion shots... Awesome video as always man.

[@Chrismcpheesound]

Scrambled O I have never used my canon 700d for slow motion as it's only 720p and I publish videos in 1080p. I have been thinking about buying the sjcam sj7 star, which can shoot 120fps at 1080p

[@samsloan6221]

I love all your videos.

[@evaalordiahmusic]

*You worked so hard on this video to push your point and I Learned too much! Not a waste of time at all, New Subbie!!! thank you*

[@SkylerB]

i'll make a whole movie and make it slow mo haha but seriously i do like using them to make the scene more impactfull, i love youre videos bro! i am able to learn a lot more, didnt know about the light not being able to get picked up and that camera looks pretty decent! damn bro a drone too lol, lots of great shots can be manifested!

[@rodiaz6652]

Awesome video, Simon. Thanks a lot; I'll be definitely trying some pepper on a banana.

[@DrERIC03]

This was awesome video thank u

[@crevlthe]

man I cracked up on your pepper metaphor. spot on.

[@GlendaSiagian]

great input. Thank.you.

[@TheRock-zf3jp]

Good job man , nice content

[@mujiii]

That's so helpful. I feel that you should have one million subs already.

[@nikkimuze]

great video with great tips!

[@OnlyAmv90]

I always learn a lot from your videos 👌

[@BambaZillah]

Another great video.

[@jacemeyer696]

great video, love ya Simon :)

[@isaaccarlton]

What do you primarily use magic lantern for? I use a t3i, so I feel like I might be missing out on some nice features. Also, the banana & pepper shot was a perfect illustration of over-doing something :)

[@DatoAliffAlex]

make a tutorial how to properly make slow? i always confused when it comes in slow mo.. because im not sure what render settings i should made let say I recorded a video with 60fps,and stretch it out for around 2 sec to make it slow..and should i render it in 24fps or 30? or 60?

[@danielhawryluk2411]

I'm just gonna say: This video was cool Simon. Good job.
