8 Tips for OUTDOOR Filmmaking and Photography

[@IAmDavidWhipple]

The community in the comments on this channel is outstanding. I hope everyone has a great year out there.

[@harshswami2004]

Dude I'm just falling in love with your colour grading techniques like in this video how you graded those snow. Please make a detailed video on tutorial on it.

[@AidinRobbins]

I've made 6- check the grading playlist on my channel :)

[@harshswami2004]

Thnx man, I think it's time to dive deeper into your older videos.

[@flysolo7195]

Amazing 😍😍😍

[@LifeTrod]

I stumbled upon your channel while in research about storytelling in blogs, as I'm presently pulling back, rebranding, and restarting. The video you did was proclaiming that the story was not king, and while hearing your message, I was drawn by the detail you placed in your vids. I had to make sure that that wasn't a one-off, so I found this vid, and again, I'm impressed. Kudos to the commenter in that previous vid who called it, that you're consistent. Thanks for your content.

[@fabiomorich]

One day I'll meet you on the Smoky! Thanks for sharing those beautiful landscapes Aidin

[@Nocopyrighttracks]

The views were absolutely stunning Loved it

[@tomsunday]

Great video Aidin! You inspire me to go out and make something of my own. I appreciate you, thanks for the tips!

[@AidinRobbins]

So stoked to hear that!

[@cyruscrossan]

Awesome to see you get rewarded with some clearer views at the top! Good stuff as always.

[@adventurepantsmcgee]

Every time I watch your videos, I'm amazed with the amount of work you do for all of your shots. Specifically, any of them where the exterior of your car is in and you're driving, or you're walking away/towards the camera, because I know that the camera has to be placed and set up, and then you do the action. It's time-consuming, lots of planning and forethought must have gone into them, and the end result is absolutely incredible. (Picks up jaw from floor. Again.)

[@hel-my-mjk-j4u-hfx]

you NAILED it

[@IAF1900]

Love this kind of format! Following you through your day is really interesting, you have so much experience and passion it's outstanding

[@vsmochent]

AHHHH PRINGLES!!!!!! CRAVING AF! 😯😨

[@BrianandCarrie]

Aidin, you are an inspiration!! I am just getting started in vlogging and have everything to learn. I'm binge watching all your videos!! Thank you!!

[@AidinRobbins]

Glad you have you following along!

[@YuiSenpai]

like always Aidin, keep inspiring! love your vibes bro

[@rakshak_gosar]

Truly wonderful and amazing and scenic shots!!! 🤯😍❤️

[@mlegrand]

Speed up snow road driving footage makes the ole' blood pressure skyrocket! 😂 I've been hoping that you'd talk about how you deal with the wet camera situation. So just throw the camera gear in the dryer. Got it. 👌 Loved this one. Absolutely fantastic. 👏

[@DanielBarryHQ]

Really liked the laid back vibe of this video. The lofi music, mountains, slower pace... great!

[@mariafdrews]

So helpful, so beautiful, so inspiring! Thanks for all your work on this one. I always know your videos will be worth watching and watching all the way through

[@shqipdonsalijaj]

What a beautiful video Aidin

[@EconomyTour360]

Apart from the job, Your efforts to go into the wild need great respect. I just want to say Thank You and stay safe and happy.

[@AniThingFilms]

My god Aidin! Bro you're Literally making films every time. Love your extreme talent of filmmaking but hate that you're SO underrated. Best wishes brother. 🤘🙏💖💖💖💖💖🙏🤘

[@rafiqmalik2818]

Theeeee bestttt video after a longggg time ever. Your and the best overall for me. Loveeee it Aidin ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@Simonaromefilms]

All I see in this video is good effort 👏👏👏

[@maxwilson7001]

I always enjoy the content you put out. Informative, entertaining, beautiful, and slow-paced. It’s like actually being there with you. Good job and thanks for sharing

[@rinzeecreate]

Love & respect from Bhutan. ❤️

[@itsmmdoha]

the views...and the color grading omg!

[@azfilms3240]

I shot and post Cinematic biking videos myself and let me just mention this, I have learned a great deal from your videos! Thank You :)

[@AidinRobbins]

Glad these could help out!

[@TheBigFishEnergy]

Excellent video Aidin. Being a fishing channel, all I am doing is filming outdoors, always. Really enjoyed this video, as always, amazing job. Love the vibes

[@ThePursuitofPassion]

Brilliant! Love the color grading Aidan. So mesmerizing. Thanks for sharing this!

[@mathiaspfuetzner]

I love how calm and relaxed this video is. Great work :)

[@RawloftheDead]

Great visual story telling along with the tips. Your footage always looks so cinematic

[@NickandRachel]

Was thinking about going up there the other day when it was snowing I wanted to do the chimney tops hike or LaConte but it looked like there was like 4 ft of snow on some areas of that trail! Awesome video man good tips!

[@OyvindSolstad]

2. Gear: As someone spending lots of time outdoor shooting video: Wear waterproof pants. You would have been dead cold if you had been stuck or delayed with pants that wet. Freezing when outdoor is the most unnecessary thing. Just wear better clothes, and you can stay out all day with no problem. Lovely pictures. Fog and snow is magical.

[@ssgg23]

Yeah definitely be prepared for Mother Nature! She has a lot more in store than pretty landscapes for the unprepared lol

[@sujalparmar9911]

Hey, I really want to know, How u shoot a car especially inside your car shots are looking so vibrant and gorgeous. Like the angle u take and the way u composite shots inside your car is brilliant can u make a dedicated video about that.

[@cincyfan987]

Love the video. Can you do one on camera movement next and the thought process behind each shot.

[@FunFriday]

Hay Aidin love ur tips. but i watch ur video for a smooth visual journey, simply beautiful. its like viewers digest... I am a news man work behind camera. I feel good to watch ur content. Love from Dhaka, BD

[@REVIEWSONTHERUN]

Amazing as always. ✌️

[@ClaudioDesideriFilms]

Respect for you Aidin, tell us how you get this hyperstable clips while you're driving! I will definitely use your advice as my channel is taking more and more the "filmmaking travel tips" direction. Enjoy the journeys mate✋💥

[@AidinRobbins]

Appreciate the support! The driving shots are just my tripod carefully wedged into the passenger side :)

[@ClaudioDesideriFilms]

@@AidinRobbins sounds like my kind of techniques, no matter the gear, if it's stable is fine🤪 my camera is currently shooting a time lapse sitting on a rock and a big coaster ahah! Did you have to use a considerable amount of stabilisation in post or just a touch?

[@Kuuntal]

This was a long wait. But I was in full hope to get this level of a vid. And you've done it😍😍

[@malicusama]

insane mate buddy can you make a video on how to color grade smartphone footage and how to take cinematic shoots with your phone?

[@meroamingaround]

Location is so beautiful 😍

[@HikeForMiles]

I'm absolutely loving the new niche you've found yourself in, outdoor videography is what I love and found a passion for. I live in Washington state and I'm fairly new to this hobby in general and I'm just wondering how much precaution I should take with weather and my Sony a7iii. Can I have it in the rain, snow, what kind of precautions would you recommend when filming outdoors.

[@TheFlyFishingFilmmaker]

Nice! I'm in WA too!

[@AidinRobbins]

Appreciate the kind words! I'm not too familiar with the a7iii in particular, but as with any camera it's at risk if you're shooting in the rain. I don't use any gear to protect mine when shooting (but I don't recommend this haha), just try to wrap up quickly so it's not exposed for too long and give plenty of time to dry out after shooting

[@HikeForMiles]

@@TheFlyFishingFilmmaker just subscribed! Awesome fishing videos!

[@TheFlyFishingFilmmaker]

@@HikeForMiles Aww thanks! One reason I went with the GH5 was the weather sealing on it. And since I'm around water ALLL the time it's very helpful.

[@ssgg23]

I just put it under my shirt or jacket when I’m not actively shooting lol. Probably better methods but it works in a pinch 😂

[@LukasPressMedia]

Beautiful video! All these snow shots and especially the ones with the water in it are so mind freeing

[@Sabrithai]

I have a very important question please ! How come your Speaking sound is so clear like this ??!! Are you using a Shotgun mic ? Thank you in advance for you answer and good job !!! 🙏

[@eliseomeza4703]

great video , so inspired❄❄❄

[@RoccoGermani]

Awesome video Aidin! I absolutely love the way you grade your snow footage, and the effort you put into capturing this video. I know that hike is already tough without snow! I tried to get out to Shenandoah National Park the other day for some snow shots but they closed down skyline drive so I had to resort to somewhere closer to me, which ended up being pretty awesome. Snow can completely transform a landscape, so even spots closer to home can become more interesting, as I've found. Thanks for the tips Aidin!

[@Legalizeasbestos]

This was actually really great. Makes me wanna get out there

[@belaro57]

Great tips and great shots as well. I totally hear you about preparation. I used to take way too much when out shooting. I like your advices on what to bring with you when out shooting. Thanks again, great work as usual.

[@ChrisPattonPhotography]

Really enjoyed that Aidin really like watching your videos, awesome to follow your photography outing and pick up some tips along the way, don't think I'll need the bear spray though here in the UK 🤣👍

[@YasmineAndHenrik]

Thanks for the tips!

[@thelostexperience.]

What a beautiful video with useful information 😍

[@ConceptNewEra]

Always on point bro, thank you for the super helpful tips and skillful visuals! Always inspired to better my filmmaking KZbin channel every time you post! 💯✔️🙏

[@Jodoodman]

Solid video man!

[@TstyleLifestyle]

Definity great tips! thanks

[@speliotis]

Just waking up & this is the first thing I saw... Great way to start the day.. & as others are saying, your videos are inspiring & truly helpful.... Question: are you using a slider ?

[@AidinRobbins]

Really appreciate the kind words! No slider, just a tripod and some animations in post

[@speliotis]

@@AidinRobbins Well done... I'm always impressed with your skillset... Great hike.. please be careful hiking solo ....

[@ErickWayneVlogs]

Excelente video 🙌🏻🎥📸

[@raiyatrehan]

that's helpful ... thank you broo💖💖

[@SkinnyWasHere]

love these vibes. whats the key to keeping the toes from falling off out there?

[@Tushar_negi]

Loved the video ❤️

[@ЛюбаваиКрым]

Your work is very inspiring

[@destinationcollective2801]

beautiful video - love the colour grading - and the snow looks awesome! Respect as this video I'm sure was hard work to put together! Definitely inspired us to go on our next content creation hike

[@chocolateanddutchy]

Your videos are so amazing to watch. You can see how much work you put into making these videos. And the way you colour grade your footage is another level! I really enjoy watching your videos! Would love to one day buy a proper camera and lenses. For two years we've been filming on our iPhone and GoPro. But footage like this makes me want to level up!!

[@Taz66]

Amazing video! Great tips! Felt weird to see your titles without your classic transitions and sound-effects.

[@rajuwarner4895]

Your notification makes me happy I don't know why ❤️

[@MRhitman47]

Aidin can you please make a "What's in my camera bag" video?

[@deepak.daniel]

Is that a BMPCC in the thumbnail? I'm also a Panasonic and BM user. Keep rocking the great, inspiring content!

[@AidinRobbins]

It is! Unfortunately haven't used it in quite a while though

[@LouisLuzuka]

This is pretty helpful

[@subarno4452]

Love from India your video just amazing

[@hesalisanaradamsuvi5646]

Happy to be early! These videos are great 😊

[@romarSabalza101]

start 7:35 i wish i could experience like that great place thumbs up bro..

[@abhisekroy3545]

Love the videos sir . I am now making some videos trying some editing to make my hands strong in premier pro. Thanks

[@PeterKae]

This wants me to go hiking and film everything with my Alexa LF

[@jeffreysproule]

Your videos always looks 👌 awesome stuff

[@AidinRobbins]

Thank you!

[@ranjank03]

Sir your video's are so good.. 🔥

[@rebelotlifestyle]

👍👍 bel video!

[@josemariabelo]

Hey Aidin, I have been watching your videos since the pandemic started and you really inspired me to go out and start shooting. I'm from Portugal, have you ever been to Portugal and if not are you interested? Hope everything is good, keep up with the great work! Thanks

[@agungkacaribu]

miss this guy.

[@AidinRobbins]

he'll be back :)

[@szabolcsipetercinematic]

Hello! What lenses would you recommend for nature video? Panasonic g7.. 🙈🎬📷

[@floziofer95]

Do you have any issues with your batteries in those freezing conditions? Btw. great video;)

[@iComplainer]

11:13 all good that you did but id never do this (kids and dust in the house, i don’t trust myself to remember my bag is open, etc) so i just keep my two big packs of desiccant in my camera bag at all times and more packs in the cabinet i keep my gear on. it’s like a $10 solution

[@anwaraq94]

Amazing video man! Do you mind telling me what gloves you're using? I find myself struggling with my camera with bulky gloves and I end iPad just taking them off and freezing aha

[@whatabouttheearth]

I hate using gloves and equipment at the same time, in the Marines we used neoprene gloves, not the warmest but you can feel specific things easier.

[@AntoineValleeStudio]

Do you use your Peak Design Tri-pod with your BMPCC 6K Pro ? I'm on the search for a good lightweight travel tri-pod YET strong enough that I know that my BMPCC 6K Pro and 18-35 Sigma Art lense are secure and safe. There is just so many Tri-Pods available that you kinda get lost shopping for them haha !!!

[@AidinRobbins]

That setup should work just fine! I have mixed feelings about the Peak Design Tripod, but it can definitely handle the BMPCC

[@AntoineValleeStudio]

@@AidinRobbins kinda on the expensive side also....

[@davincisace9059]

Rain sleeves! How do you feel about em, do you recommend any or are you team umbrella ?

[@AidinRobbins]

Neither myself haha, just crossing my fingers most of the time. Do as I say, not as I do :)

[@bmcla34]

Definitely good tips. I probably don't plan as much as i should, but i do kind of like just taking what the day gives me. I could get a lot of shots one day and not as many another. Obviously if i was being paid to do this i would put in the effort you are, but until sugar daddy KZbin comes through I'll just keep having fun with it. Great video as usual.

[@errolfernsstudios]

Hi i have the same camera s5. Please make a video on how to shoot on V Log. Cause i am not able to get it proper.Thanks.

[@zbeknelson]

What camera would you recommend for both videos and pictures?

[@GurumoortiHegde]

Amazing place buddy :- )

[@TARIQABDELPHOTO]

You gotta let us know how you film your driving scenes so smoothly lol

[@AidinRobbins]

Tripod and persistence

[@MattCookOregon]

Epic

[@akarca]

good video. in turkey, car expensive, fuel expensive, life very expensive... your geo your faith...

[@asma_kauser]

1. Do your research 2. Gear 3. Track the sun photopills 4. Follow the landscape lead 5. Don't just shoot wide 6. Protect your gear 7. Go to your locations multiple times 8. Weather

[@AidinRobbins]

Close!
