20 Filmmaking Tips in 12 Minutes For Your First Documentary

Great content 0:33 Just a heads up, the way the boom is set up has the knuckle on the left side, on set we call this a "lefty knuckle" this isnt ideal because gravity can cause the weight of the object to rotate the knucle loose causing the object to fall I've seen it happen too many times, typically you want the knuckle on the right side so gravity works in your favor Also always want the weight armed out directly over the big leg

Very helpful and articulate . I gathered equipment to learn videography but am having difficulty with learning tech as I am elderly and from the pre digital world . However practicing and learning to use the camera is transformative and joyful . As a nature worshipper and homesteader in the mountains I find the camera to be literally the eye of God ! I guess that makes you a high priest in my new religion ...
