The simple explanation was topped only by the footage. Awesome.

[@TrekkingwithTrevor]

Thank you so much for making this video. The fact you showed amazing footage and presented tips without a bunch of fancy gadgets attached to your equipment was definitely inspiring. Especially for a low budget videographer as my self.

[@THEMATT222]

Last tip, don't over sharpen your videos, everything else about this video is more than perfect though :)

[@jackdonachy9906]

I'm just getting into video after years of wildlife photography. This was quite helpful. Thanks.

Lovely video in its' own right. Great advice and I appreciate the amount of work you must have put into this - thank you from the UK as I make the transition from stills to video.

[@wildlifesnapper1]

The best video I've watched this year, lol, well it is the 1/1/19. No seriously, well done Doug. Oh, and I love your back yard :-)

Totally loved this video. Not just because of the tips, but the overall vibe is so pleasant. I would have enjoyed it even as a non-photographer :) Thanks Doug and folks!

[@JudeWaguespack]

This was both a pleasure to watch and very informative. I'm just beginning to film wildlife myself and found this to be a very big help.

[@theanimalenthusiast6825]

Great tips, Thank you!

[@Chimboica2011]

Thank you Doug for the down-to-earth Video, breathtaking scene, helpful info. we love it.

[@JimHawkins1]

Thanks so much.I've really been looking for something like this especially for the tripod/head handling.I think this will help improve my videos tremendously, sooner than later on my own.

[@autumnsummeroreo3622]

Amazing!! Thank you soooo much for sharing!!💕

[@SteveHedgesPhotography]

Great video, loved the wildlife and landscape footage.

[@reneedunaway2221]

Super helpful tips on selecting a tripod that will support a DSLR with a zoom. I also learned how to better use my own tripod thanks to your tips. Appreciate it!

[@TheSmartWoodshop]

Doug, great as usual. 🤙

[@ecocarefoundation4314]

[@Cookingstepbystep]

Thanks Doug , great video (I agree with earlier comments - should have way more views). You have given me some real motivation and I have just clicked "BUY" on a fluid head, should be with me on Monday. I also need to practice my focus and exposure technique. I have subscribed and look forward to watching your videos.

[@rpan100]

A wonderful production, hello from Alberta, Canada!

[@hugo_fn7397]

Thanks for share Doug, I have learned a lot. I like so much the video and the chanel. I have started to watch the chanel a few days ago.

[@touchedbynature5445]

Lovely Video. Many Thanks

[@forsterl.stewart414]

I manually set my white balance in Kelvin degree rather than auto white balance. Which I've found can get the color off. Whether I'm shooting stills or video. I Manually set Kelvin degrees to get consistent color no matter what I'm photographing. In mixed lighting this can be tricky. Use a custom white balance when you're unsure of settings or use live view and manually set Kelvin degrees in real time. Daylight 5000°-5500°, Overcast 6000°-6500°, Shade 7000°- 8000° Daylight outdoors. Sunrise or sunsets color balance is 3000°-4000° but can be warm and dramatic at higher numbers like 9000°-10,000°. Setting for daylight in a tungsten environment can give pleasing results. A warm tint can be pleasing to the eye. Shooting a night city scape at 5500° can turn the city window lights a nice warm color. For a natural window color lower your temperature to a 3200° or 3400° and notice the different feeling you get.You can also use white balance shift to create different moods for a scene. For instance shoot a night city scape at 3200 k degrees and add magenta with white balance shift adjustment and the sky will take on a slight purple tint. Shooting video a shotgun Mic is another solid piece of equipment. Plus a set of head phones or ear buds so you can monitor your sound that is if your DSLR has the ability to use them.

[@traceygatlin6364]

I love Cades Cove great video

[@rohansoman3701]

[@deanseldon5640]

Nice stuff 👌

[@kasturiranganp]

Superb channel. and very well presented. And of course the video shots and words of wisdom are incomparable!

[@davypaul9827]

I learned some good tips for filming in general, let alone Wildlife. Im thinking about working in wildlife, or travel, or nature, and yes probably all of them. Im an open book and psyched for the future in filming, even though I still call myself a rookie. HAHA

[@amritkrishna376]

Thank you so much

[@tatuparssinen]

Thanks for your great tips and tricks. My first (!) nature video of urban sea eagles in Helsinki got featured on Finland's national public broadcasting company YLE tv news. Go figure :)

[@victorcorazza]

amazing video

[@YabannPenceresi]

Perfect shot. Greetings... :)

[@ungavaproductions]

Amazing ! To me the best video presentation i have ever seen. Accurate explanation, setting information very usefull and the quality of your images are simply fantastic ! Thanks I will put you on the top of my subscription video list. I would like you to answer this question for me if possible. You are shooting HD 1080, what is your conversion for this KZbin ? MP4, Mov, or something else. Quality is absolutely gorgeous ! I will really appreciate your answer. Thanks !

[@desistyletour384]

Hey I'M from india Good job bro

[@patricksmith2553]

I really think frame rates need to depend on what your shooting, if your subjects are fast and or if you ever want the option for slowing the footage down shoot 60fps if your camera allows it or 30fps if it does not. However I shoot 95% of my video in 24fps frame rate and 50/th second shutter speed like described here with the 180 rule. I just find 24fps looks the best for most cases and the most cinematic.

[@arkansastraveler7698]

What is the best time to see color in the Smokey mountains, here in Arkansas it is usually around first week of November.

[@FromtheStars100]

Great video. You mentioned you focus 1/3 into the frame. Then you pan along the scenery. Do you continue to change focus as you pan or you leave the focus as set?

[@SyamaMedia]

No need of changing the focus while using small tilting or planing...

[@IRBInfoTec]

What camera u use

[@JamesDailyTV]

What tripod head is that?

[@SachinSingh-qx6rh]

thanks a lot sir, love from India, try to let us know about making money with these footages that you know.

[@martinestrada7636]

have you ever been to south texas?

[@lutracanadensis101]

Great video. Thank you, Doug and crew. Was this video shot in DSLR or another format?

[@douggardner1]

If I remember correctly I think the whole show was shot on a Canon 5D II DSLR.

[@lutracanadensis101]

Thank you for responding. It was really strikingly sharp and detailed footage. I'm in the market for either a full frame DSLR or mirrorless camera camera for photography and videography, so it's good to know what camera produced such fine footage.

[@Jahangir_Khan_LJ]

Name of camera??
