How To Plan A YouTube Video - My Pre Production Process

[@BeckiandChris]

Kinda want to make a video about my favorite coffee table books now! 🤔

[@JustinJamesJeep]

Please do! Its been a thought on my mind recently 😂

[@AnnaKincaid]

Do it becki!

[@benben8764]

Yes please!!!

[@aru.v1443]

Please do a video or master class on how to shoot .. like you told us how you plan different types of shots.. panning shots.. close up shot etc.. we want to learn more

[@v_supp9276]

Yess!! I've been waiting for this so long!

[@Nick_Lewis]

It’s times like this that I realize that other KZbinrs are waaaaay more organized and put together than I am. Also, yes to wool blankets, yes to coffee table books.

[@BeckiandChris]

My brain is a constant shit show so doing things like this really helps me 😂

[@operarocks]

I think you mean "wool blankers," no?

[@MatthewEncina]

Good to see your process. It’s so similar to mine. Love the 1 unexpected shot. I usually do this anyway, but I like that it’s a must have for you. I’ll definitely keep that in mind in the future.

[@eltonjobchau4099]

Hi Matthew! l love your content😊

[@MunshyaBW]

We need more videos like this! It literally feels like a crash course and I definitely learned a lot!

[@manjimsadik]

I really needed this , I am just starting on KZbin and kinda overwhelmed , but this is going to help me , Thank ya 🧡

[@ODriscolls]

You are too good to us. I was running through my head about how I can implement these ideas into my planning and then you throw in that list of shots to get and feel like you have given me a gift. I have generally poor organization and I do struggle with it. Having specific, actionable tips is so helpful to me. Thank you so much Becki!

[@BeckiandChris]

SOO glad it was helpful! The 7 shot sequence saves me a lot!

[@ODriscolls]

@@BeckiandChris I used it today and I think it's going to turn out great. I also think it's going to be in my toolbox from here on out! Thanks again!

[@MiguelQuilesJr]

These tips are great! Really sheds light into the process behind creating the next banger video 👏👏

[@Wariki]

The most common thing we do during pre-production is throwing a bunch of ideas & then get stuck in a rut. I love the organization process of this video because it is a good blueprint for a video or in general aspects of projects. Thanks for the insights as always 🤙🏼

[@iambjarni]

Excellent video! I was searching "planning a yt video!" and came across this one. Thank you for making this video, it exceeded my expectations!

[@Nickyo]

Theres so many things I can use to improve after watching this video. Right now it's only: Daydreaming about the video, sitting down and thinking of bullet points for broll shots, script making and finally recording a roll/b roll. I do prefer to "shoot for the edit" rather than oversaturate myself with possible footage ill never use.

[@younes_bagheban]

Hi, I am from Iran and I really enjoy your films. Thank you. I also listen to your podcast and it is very interesting to me.

[@TomWagstaff]

Congrats on 300k!

[@aidanhunter6195]

I've literally been thinking about this all morning! Becki coming in clutch

[@samhudgins]

Yes! Please make a video on the coffee table books!

[@joeconnell1396]

Thanks for including outtakes - lighthearted touch makes videos much more human, accessible and real.

[@LifeOfRiza]

I'm currently using notion but debating on switching to milanote 🤔 I definitely need to organize my pre-production more haha. great video becki, definitely will use these tips!!

[@mrbenburns]

This is absolute gold! Love that you start with Title and Thumbnail

[@nazry179]

Congrats for 300K 🔥🎉✌🏻

[@JustWojtek]

never should what actually feels better - the excitement of preproduction or the satisfaction of everything finally coming together

[@JaskaranSingh-rn7sk]

The Thumbnail 😍😍😍 💯🔥💯🔥💯🔥

[@hotlineoperator]

You got excellent taste for select elements to your videos.

[@noir9445]

Absolutely love your aesthetic. ❤

[@AivarsMeijers]

Wrote down quite a few notes. Thanks! Very informative.

[@malobikayousuf6383]

I would love to watch your coffee table book video. I'm a new subscriber and I love how well you explain anything and everything! ❤️ I'm in love with your makeover videos.

[@lukebohemian]

Always tend to neglect the pre process then I get so frustrated when out shooting! thanks for this

[@r.pushkar]

Found this channel for DIY stuff few weeks back. Ever since then not able to stop binge watching your entire videos on the channel. Love your stuff, the videos are amazingly awesome. Big fan.

[@BeckiandChris]

Thank you so much!!

[@43topspin]

Timely, Informative, Wonderful. Thanks for the great video!

[@kahlief]

I'm gonna need a 5 part series on coffee table books ASAP please, thank you

[@BeckiandChris]

I think I’m gonna do it, really into coffee table books 😂

[@DrRusty5]

An episode would have to cover types of coffee tables and how to make one!

[@Lyrech79]

Always brilliant on sharing those tips and tricks... thank you I am a big fan! Yes please, I am interested to your favourite coffee book list.

[@BookItTravel]

Love the processes. Learning about this is super helpful! Must be vibben!

[@UncleJerman]

Honestly I'll watch whatever video you guys decide to put out. You. Inspire. Me.

[@RylansAmazingPhotography]

Really great video Becki, I enjoyed very much!!

[@elliefrances4]

Love love love this, much easier to understand when you deliver this information in a personal way. Felt like a firmed helping explain some the info instead of a formal teacher. Thank you!!

[@AkshayJoshiFilms]

It's always great to hear another creator's workflow 👏 Thank you for sharing, I'll be using some of the steps in my workflow now onwards ☺️

[@TuckerPearce]

I may have just watched this twice in a row, such great advice. I always forget to do the thumbnail so this has to change.

[@kaspertheroundghost]

How I wished I came across your channel earlier! Thank you for the tips!😊

[@freddymiguelponce]

I LOVE your videos! You're THE BEST!

[@JasonLorette]

This is gold people...KZbin is work! Yes to coffee table books Becki!

[@AaronTremblay]

This is highly helpful! I often give up on edits because I’m just missing too much to make something that makes sense, and I can see that it’s all because of lack of prep. Will be using these tips to make my process better! Great video as always!

[@LasVegasandBeyond]

Thanks again for another helpful video. Your opening described me to a tee.

[@lucetto]

very helpful, the video itself is beautiful too. thank you. your channel feels like a vogue magazine.

[@kyra_james]

My mind is blown! Seriously Becki this is huge massive helpful info THANK YOU for sharing this level of detail on KZbin for free 🤯😍

[@watchmakerfs]

300k! Congrats to my favorite KZbin channel!

[@naeemkhota]

This is Gold! Especially for those of us starting out... Also gives one a better appreciation and respect for the work KZbinrs put in to their craft ❤️

[@Jack.Xin.]

Bonus Points for dividing it into chapters making it easier to jump around the video, very nicely done!

[@ErikDouds]

Curve ball, teleprompter. This is why creators should have TV shows :)

[@MikeMusicMaking]

Watching in 2024! I still think these are all relevant tips! I look forward to trying some out on my channel! Thank you! :-)

[@phaedragardeness]

That was amazingly helpful, Thankyou!

[@rodneylopez5073]

Hey, I think the throw blanket idea would be fun!!

[@BeckiandChris]

I do love a good throw, I’ve got a little collection 😂

[@AlexPresa]

Ugh Becki, its so wonderful to see how much you've grown over the course of this youtube channel. Designers for life babyyyyyyyyyyy. Keep it up :)

[@ohhlena1460]

Trank you 🙏🏼 I love it 😻

[@EconWithDrA]

This is so helpful as I try to create videos that are out of the office and less tutorial based.

[@MaskedNozza]

Here in Australia we are in the middle of winter and it is very miserable and cold. Throw blankets would be an awesome video! Maybe to mix it up you could talk about different materials that can be used, and the durability/ washability/ warmth of each.

[@Tavs.Visuals]

I'm more of a running-gun type of person. However, after watching this vid, I can see the importance of structuring your videos in a cohesive and manageable way. Thanks!

[@TheKevinUtz]

Yessss middle of the week video!! Love it!!

[@lisaviktoria9402]

love your style and please keep explaining

[@Huntingforgeorge]

Need to get better at this!

[@hgrilliot]

Love how you explain your shot list! I always learn so much from you! Thanks!

[@AuthenTech]

Let's talk about that beautiful plant in the background :) reminds me of a bird-of-paradise but different

[@BoyarsMedia]

"between one fern"

[@mobilefreelancer3831]

Thanks for this becki really helpful

[@abeandmel]

Thanks! Gave me some ideas to help form videos!

[@ALEXAWRIGHT]

I’ve been straight-up binging your content, including Tuxedo Time, for the past week or so! You make such tastefully shot and fun videos, and I love your personalities so much. Thanks for all the laughs and inspiration! I’m also into visuals and home so it’s nice to see a channel that has content covering both. I totally want to paint my whole peg board set-up matte black because of you 😆💗

[@Kenny-Ross]

Thank you! This was well presented. I like how detailed you were in showing the whole process. And thanks for sharing the Storyboard notebook. I might have to order one.

[@DallasJyl]

I am just loving your "new" set. It looks sooo good!

[@elsielichen]

Oh no! I’m into the throw blanket idea! “Top 5 resources to find throw blankets” will be a video I’m going to bookmark 😊

[@TheGrayExplorer]

I’ve seen this style of video a bunch of times before, but I don’t know this kinda hit harder. Like I actually took the advice on board for once? Thank you! Very helpful

[@DrinkswithChris]

This was really really helpful Becki! For my other channel, I've been desperate to make more vloggy content but always find myself just not getting enough footage, or not the right footage, or not having a set plan to follow. This has given me some perspective and structure. Good job!

[@jacobpriddle]

That includes paid promotion symbol makes me so hyped when I see it on your videos after so long of not being allowed to get sponsored.

[@BeckiandChris]

😭😭 thank you Jacob, that means a lot to read this!

[@rakshitambi3066]

congrats for 300k

[@denzeltorres416]

First comment! Keep up with the good content. I have been following for a couple months now!

[@BeckiandChris]

Thanks Denzel!

Hey guys, loved the video! I think there is a lot of tutorials out there on how to use an specific software, tool… but not so much on workflow and creative process. I find it very interesting to know the method behind the madness. Looking forward to seeing more content like that. Best!

[@cwTheDrummist]

This is the video I've always wanted and the thing I struggle with the most. I tend to be more run and gun and usually end up with not enough footage to tell the story in the way I want. Getting inside your head was super helpful. Thanks!

[@BeckiandChris]

Thanks Chris!

[@sacdaabdurhman]

[@EliFromSaalt]

Thank you for this Becki, you're a life saver

[@Penfriendrocks]

Your videos are always timed so perfectly for me - today and tomorrow are my first proper KZbin channel days so thanks very much for the super helpful insights! Back to my planning I go... :)

[@silvestrossouthernitaly9795]

this is very helpful! Thank you!

[@naeemashaari]

this video helps a lot ! thank you for sharing, really really appreciate it. love from Malaysia 🇲🇾

[@matpikachu]

I like your sketch of Chris in the thumbnail portion! lol Also, maybe you can get a light behind you so it creates a halo effect to separate your clothes from the background.

[@ConceptNewEra]

Been lookin for ways to up the quality of my KZbin videos for my channel! I already know this will be clutch, notebook at the ready! Thank you for always sharing awesome insight! 💯✔️🔥

[@BeckiandChris]

Hope it helps!!

[@Pencilshark]

where did you get the background in this video? The black shiny background. I love it.

[@hollyosmer4555]

Love to see your BTS videos! What program are you using for the keywords, titles, description etc.?

[@nancypalm]

All I can think about now is a shot list for coffee table books: The page turns, the close up of the cover with that sweet, sweet type, the long shot of the coffee table with a comfy chair just waiting to be used... CAN'T WAIT. (side question: what teleprompter do you use?)

[@Skullysogservices]

I was thinking about how you had to plan to shoot a video about how you planned a video about planning a video , I knew it, we're in the Matrix!

[@BeckiandChris]

Hahahaha

[@thegenius203]

Make a video solely about throw blankets please

[@queerfoto]

Preproduction is a important. Thanks for sharing this.

[@jon-uncommoncreator1621]

+1 for the coffee table books video!

[@petermandaville8789]

I would be in for a full on SERIES about your favourite coffee table books.

[@Adventurist]

Thanks for sharing the process with us! What I found super interesting is when I heard that Casey Neistat barely plans anything and says that the story happens in the edit. Surely much more suitable to vlog style content than a proper "film". I believe everyone has to find their own process - some of my best videos were shot and cut within a few days and had no planning. On the other hand you sit down for weeks to plan the perfect video and you are just not feeling it. Videos have a fun way of sometimes just "happening".

[@kevin_segura]

Not me watching this in the future after preordering your own coffee table book 😊

[@AbhilashMarichi]

Thanks for this, I wanted to know it from you! :)

[@Devos_Designs]

Great video thanks

[@RealityByRach]

This was fantastic! Thanks Becki!!

[@iamjasonthompson]

As I’m getting back into posting… (PTSD from last year is REAL) this was super helpful. Passionate creatives have so much stuff on their head it’s hard to put it down in one concise piece for consumption. Thanks Becki! #tutorialsarenotdead

[@TheDadventures]

Very well thought out process. Definitely adopting some of these awesome points. Run and gun is great but I find myself always missing a few key shots. Love this. Thank you for your efforts 😀

[@erbartlett]

Best video I’ve seen yet on pulling out a story, thanks! Any additional tips for those run and gun situations? I feel like my stories are good in the pre-planned situation, but in the run and gun situations when things change , or don’t work out, or aren’t predictable, I don’t capture the story as effectively ( sometimes I still miss it completely )

[@TomWagstaff]

300k soon!!! I need to plan more and don't be sad or annoyed when they don't come out as I imagined haha

[@thatMikeMurphy]

Your videos are BEAUTIFUL! What would you estimate as far as hours per week/month it takes you and Chris to run this channel (now and when you were getting started)?

[@CreativeDojo]

Super interesting! Thankfully most of my videos are screencasts 😂

[@davidavery2795]

Please do a video on coffee table books. I ❤️ coffee table books.

[@oliviaeff4154]

I would like a video about coffee table books and throw blankets :-)

[@BeckiandChris]

I do love a good throw blanket
