Macau: Short Film + Behind the Scenes

[@JC-sm7so]

You are my inspiration Brandon Li. I still watch your old videos many times for me to learn cinematography. Thank you.

[@emzyfilm6492]

Brandon , would you do some behind the scenes of your editing ?

[@Runhotelchannel]

Agree! Brandon please show us some editing behind the scenes.

[@fissurehezzer1897]

we'd love to see that!

[@haliwho3213]

Me too!

[@yoginwidhi6676]

He wont do that, he already explain that in one of his clip.

[@mtachjian]

its easy to see what hes doing if you watch frame by frame. Comma and period on your keyboard when the vid is paused. Ive learned so much from his vids. What you will quickly realize is that he has clear vision BEFORE he shoots. His shots appear casual but they are directed and intentional. Always panning into and out of scenes....having the artistic vision to see what are interesting shots to take---DETAILS! as apposed to your typical wide shots of buildings. The thing that Brandon is awesome at (in edits) is maintaining connection between scenes in terms of key elements and pacing. Shapes, colors and movement. There is always a connection between 2 different scenes. Also his use of sound effects to immerse the watcher into the scene is top notch.

[@csparkphotography]

Best travel filmmaker I know! Ill probably watch this couple dozen times within a month

[@chocomel1974]

I agree!

[@rehman24fps]

Even if I cannot afford to join your school, your videos alone are enough educative for me to learn editing and camera movement. They say a good work leaves its traces for others to follow. This is the best thing that you tube offers.

[@dronedamontanha]

Thanks for the tips, and for the Brazilian, the community here is very closed with regards to tips, their work and suggestions in the camera movements helps a lot who is starting ... PARABENS

[@thaticelandicguy]

You are so smooth and on point my man 🙏

[@叫我克里斯-h5d]

I found you from the bilibili website in China. I watched a lot of your works and tutorials on youtube. As a novice, your video has been very helpful to me, and it is all free! thank you! ! ! !

[@frameshiftx]

You truly are a youtube filmmaking treasure. Thank you for sharing your work and bts with us!

[@isaacisu5282]

I really appreciate the behind the scenes of how you take your videos! Thank you to you and Kobe!

[@VinnieCamilleriMusic]

Some excellent little tips there Brandon!

[@LiveLoveThailand]

We always enjoy watching your creative videos thank you for sharing those tips with us. Greetings from Thailand

[@saurabhsoni4098]

We want 1000 of short film videos like this .. in which we can enjoy the filmmaking of new era in ya videos

[@JuanSerradelaFuente]

Dude! How many memories. Macao was my first solo trip. I slept in a horrible hostel room in that market Street but it was so much fun!

[@tomn.9610]

Branden is the master who teaches us all well in the art of filmmaking.

[@Cymye]

No matter what you do, it is always amazing!

[@tiboyfromcavite5235]

Not only the cinematography or gimbal made the short film beautiful but the editing and the sound too had a big role

[@k.s.KrishnaKumar98]

Best travel cinematic flimmaker ♥️

[@davepov]

Your "goofing around" videos are ten times better than many videos people plan out! Love the whip shots at the 4-way intersection...too bad about rolling shutter.

[@johnhaynes9910]

I am a stills photographer but it really is interesting to see both your work and how you approach collecting the material you later work on in your final edits because this is the important bit. Where this is inspiring is that it is no different to doing a "stills shoot" with the intention of producing a self published book or a story for a magazine so, many thanks for sharing.

[@chasingvenusfilmarts]

Always refreshing and inspiring, and Kobe is such a great sport! She deserves soooo much credit and did a great job filming as well! Brandon and Kobe for the win(s)!

[@동원_인생_Personal_channel]

I like behind scenes started from 2:21. I can see your shooting motions and find the edited videos from the shootings. For beginner KZbin as like me, it is very very helpful. ^^ Thank you so much Brandon. ^^

[@timebank1949]

More behind the scenes parts/ videos please. It is really mesmerizing to watch such sort of videos as well!

[@krajca666]

watching these behind the scenes videos make me want to go outside and shoot something

[@simplylittletravels638]

I'm excited every time when you post something. You show us there's no need to use cliche slow motion to create an interesting travel video. Great stuff!

[@ThabisoM7]

You turn something very simple to extra ordinary 🔥🔥🔥

[@york824]

Wow I am learning so much. I don't film videos a lot so when I want to film something during travels I have no ideas where to begin. This is very helpful. Thank you so much.

[@ellzar]

How is youtube blessed with quality stuff like this

[@FleanceDavid]

OMG!!! Sooo much to absorb and learn from the True Master! Thank you sifu Brandon 🙏

[@smoogles.5534]

brandon doesn't do anything with rig up cages or anything special with additional cost..just gimbal and his camera and lenses that alone is inspiring when you see a bunch of guys with deck out rigs, you know you can still achieve what brandon does

[@itsxandr]

Just wanted to give a shout out and say thanks for all the behind the scenes you do. Also for not overly pushing your film school like so many others where it's basically just an ad 😆

[@anonymousaccount100]

these camera movements are crazy and so much variety

[@lorenbrand]

Beautiful close ups of the tiles!

[@leej8572]

Seriously i feel blessed to be able to learn your techniques on yt

[@itchforgreatness5736]

love these behind the scenes!

[@AndyVNguyen]

That last shot was killer. Great perspective!

[@princeamori]

I love the beautiful films you make Brandon. I found this one displayed your skills more than the Cataluyna one.

[@thetenthhouse]

What a way to start my day, this is beautiful! 🌸😊💜

[@thaonguyening]

YAYYY I've missed seeing your videos!!! Thanks for being the down the earth human who also makes stunning cinematic videos. Shoutout to Kobe being a patient girlfriend for this video to come to life.

[@chhil]

Always enjoy anything you share here. I usually end up downloading your videos and go frame by frame for your transitions 😁

[@Reformatt]

I learned so much from you Brandon! Thank you

[@Sidetracked_in_Macau]

Beautiful film! I love this city!

[@killahjay1000]

You never cease to amaze with your work

[@gpk7683]

I always watch and admire your videos! So very glad you are showing more of your girlfriend’s personality.

[@StoneFistedProps]

Love the natural transitions, thank you for sharing your work and knowledge Brandon.

[@maf3695]

ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE!

[@benegan7421]

I was in Macau last month but I was so sick that I couldn’t do any filming or photos. Barely left the hotel room. Luckily though it’s only a two hour flight away from where I live, so I could always go back another time (though next month I’ll be in Japan

[@docyagamikiko]

An amateur like me dont deserve a Brandon Li course... But i brave the fear of the undeserving, and face my very own "whats next" in my overflowing film making enthusiasm...and signed my shy arse in. Haha! Excitement is kicking in!!!

[@riel777]

Love your videos! Even when you guys are just goofing around it comes out with a cinematic feel.

[@timelesstravelclub6240]

You always remind me to pay attention to the details for the quick shots and I always get caught up and forget. This next video for sure I’m going to do it! Thanks for always inspiring me.

[@MrHareshacharya1]

Wow!!! It's simple yet stunning...

[@weekysim1404]

Best filmmaker ! Willing to share his skills to us.

[@lebavu8260]

Ty for sharing the bts skills so we can learn!

[@saravanankalyanasundaram5716]

Amazing and Brilliant as usual. Love your behind the scenes.....

[@jacksonbrown4112]

Goofing around and makes videos better than my 100%! Still so much to learn! lol

[@anandthakre9265]

Your amazing 😍 sire Lee, your films are always give a shot to me... The way you shoot that road strip that was just amazing nd your transaction are always best of the best, salute you Lee Sir ❤️🙌

[@StefanDressmaker]

I'm learning a lot from your films and behind the scenes content, Brandon. I just got into filmmaking some weeks ago and this video in particular inspired me to do a short video in my city Barcelona with the same setup: one camera, one lens, one very patient girlfriend :) Thank you and keep inspiring!

[@izzymm2683]

As always.. very artistic

[@asraflatif4172]

Thanks! I always love how u show ur behind the scenes shot. i can learn something from it.

[@TheCinewanderFilms]

omg.......your shots are mindblowingggggggggggggggggggggggggg

[@ludwigvalenta9305]

Hi Brandon, always very inspiring, would you share with us, what picture profile and color grading you've used for the macao video? Many thanks, Ludwig

[@jeremyl9515]

Bradon Sensei~ 🙇🏻‍♂️ did you pick the music before or after the goofing around? Vancouverite in Shanghai~

[@georgekenner6588]

Always love your stuff.

[@bedakpurol]

Thank you for being inspiring. Love from Bali

[@wingkeilee2093]

Great shoot.. What is your FPS of footage and FPS in project.?

[@-veaux-4700]

the transition 👑

[@nimmasoda]

God of Gimbal

[@nimmasoda]

Please make editing tutorial also... with a realistic time line etc.,

[@savannahe27]

I LOVE the behind the scenes x it helps me as a wannabe creator see how it is directed and made

[@go_jeff_go]

Could you tell us more about that icecam gimbal? That thing is so tiny! Might just be the prefect travel gimbal but can't find any English reviews since it's Italian made and all reviews are in Italian. Mama mia

[@rockynashlive]

Makes me want to visit Macau again.

[@rdomingo21]

Hi Brandon, do you break 180 degree rule by making your shutterspeed higher than twice of its fps? like 120fps at 1/500 to get sharper footage? does slowing the footages down mask the juddery effect cause by high shutterspeed? thanks

[@NatashaHerbert]

Omg, I watch your films in amazement. Your style is so dope!

[@MyekalBenham]

Awesome thanks for sharing your shot setups.

[@DoriDumrong]

Such an amazing visual feast - as amazing as ever. I am a big fan. Thank you for sharing such great stories.

[@bennielaars]

Sooo creative. Hat's off to you!

[@ivancordova4881]

Wow..amazing, love the way you imagine the storyline.

[@darwinsuwandy2361]

Amazing as always

[@xxchou9946]

so much detail !!

[@PrimeInChina]

Thanks for these behind the scenes Brandon. I know you could make money not showing this stuff and teaching it. But it really makes people want to come back and actually see HOW you make this content. Seeing you film things even for just a few seconds is really helpful in understanding how you got a certain shot. If you had time, could you show us some of the editing you do? Sometimes even if we have great shots, putting it all together is a little confusing also.

[@MrJhuang999]

Great film, great set up!

[@selvingeorge]

Hi! , Do u use focus manually or do u use auto focus?

[@Young360]

thank you so much for all the tips. loved the movie but REALLY amazed by your tutorials! brilliant but easy to do for beginners :)

[@geoffshaffer]

Wow. Thank you for the how-to (kinda). I have a lot to learn.

[@RoadBlockNYC]

I love you channel bro and all of your hard work you put in I been a fan of your works for a few years now and I must say your video are awesome and amazing 😉 I really appreciate the BTS footage and tips your such a inspiration Thank you for those tips

[@markstanley2001]

Are the 2 zooms you did into the paintings motion zooms in edit on a still image, or actually done in camera?? And if done in camera, how close did you get to the wall?? Also, the zoom rotation towards picture on wall before you present Kobe in the museum, once again, how close did you get to the wall?

[@brianpark2564]

What are your best ways around the rolling shutter problem when filming /editing?

[@Noealz]

Loved My time at Macau and glad you are enjoying it too

[@jojosale415]

Superb. So fluid and precise. That you share your talents with us is best of all.

[@nikeossler]

I love these type of videos!! so cool and helpful to watch!!

[@MatthewHyatt]

Brilliant transitions, man!!!

[@hamiln2u]

[@TravelwithTommy]

Another great video as always Brandon. So much to learn from you. Thank you.

[@faisalshabbir5912]

I am a big fan of your work

[@masami_channel3937]

Hi Brandon and Kobe! Sending tons of love from Japan💕 I missed your meet up this time. I wished I could come visit you guys in HK!

[@deel7114]

Hi Brandon , What is the gimbal did you use in this video , it looks very small but steady

[@AntoineBorzeix]

Hello Brandon. What s your feeling about this gimbal ? I didn’t see some reviews in english, only in Italian. Thx

[@wanttogoplaces]

nice, when you go toward the subject and away from the subject how do you focus? Manual?

[@GalaGade2021]

Simply stunning great film and behind the scenes footage as well Brandon amazing looking Macau.❤️❤️👍 loved to visit one day on my long lists

[@SonNguyenOfficialchannel]

the best filmmaker right now in youtube :D no need too much effect, it's about how you creat it !

[@JonniArmani]

Brandon love all the interesting transitions,) excellent work

[@RafaelArteman1]

Hey Brandon! How are you? Why is it written in portuguese on the wall at 0:48? Greetings from Brazil!

[@BrandonLiUnscripted]

Hi! Macau was a Portuguese colony, so there’s very interesting food and architecture.
