[@RAHMATULLAHNOWRUZ]

its nice to see someone is making video for sake of delivering values not for money. thank you for your countless efforts in educating us.

[@mpess8569]

So far the only KZbin channel that I feel the need of watching everyday....Congratulations!

[@BambaZillah]

I love how you focus a lot on the fine details and try to make every little thing artistic

[@JacobCrowMains]

Simon, you're videos keep getting better and better. The way you articulate these techniques makes it very easy to understand, also the visual comparison really helps the get the idea across. I found this really helpful man, keep up the good work as always.

[@DSLRguide]

Jacob Crow-Mains really glad you found it helpful - thanks for the encouragement man!

[@Tamajyn69]

Just discovered your channel and honestly from what i've seen so far you are by far the best i've come across on KZbin, you demonstrate the concepts you discuss brilliantly

[@JoeTalks]

Simon! You forgot to say "Hello there my name is Simon Cade and this is DSLR guide." I am totally UNSUBBING. WOW. CANT BELIEVE THIS.

[@ChrisParayno]

y?

[@mishtaromaniello8295]

He does a different intro now.

[@fathersun5765]

he's still got the apple at least

[@Chuk40076]

The apple! It's returned! :D Great episode, Simon!

[@TeamAPS]

This might be one of your very best videos yet. Everything just makes so much sense and you explain it all so well. Thumbs way up!

[@DSLRguide]

thank you *****, means a lot!

[@carlosalbertomarroquinmart6960]

Dude, you should be a teacher! Is not only what you know but how well you can explain it. Congrats!

[@ericjamesphotography]

Just found my new youtube channel obsession. After never attending film school and continuing to push my creative boundaries I find these tips are very very well illustrated and appreciated.

[@DSLRguide]

+Eric Walsh that's so good to hear, thanks for the encouragement!

[@MusicFilmArtLover]

Aww I love the biting of the apple. It symbolize growth and confidence. Here is a challenge, please consider making this as in the use of the toys but more importantly camera movements. It is so needed on the tube. Cheers mate!

[@MrPropanePete]

Wow, your videos are probably the best I've seen on KZbin. I think you've got quite a career ahead of you

[@PostColorGear]

I like the new setup. I'm digging the jump cuts. They really work for this. The focus is a little wonky sometimes, but as a one man team myself, on the other side of the camera, I know you cant be aware of that all the time. The apple is going to become your trademark haha

[@DSLRguide]

The Post Color Blog I'm glad you like it, Dave! I'm hoping that I'll become the master of guessing where to focus to ;)

[@RocKoNoX]

I went to a film school for 2 years, and you are the first guy who really showed me how to use the movement right. Thanks, really.

[@godfatherofcinema]

I can really appreciate the fact that you reference great movies such as Double Indemnity (one of my favorites) as teaching aids. Terrific and knowledgeable video!

[@bkzzzzz]

I always had this question in mind while filming, when to move camera and when not to, also there many angles we can set the camera but why we have to choose the specific ones, your video helped to understand this to some extent. thanks a lot and keep making great videos, just Subscribed.

[@xMEanimations]

you deserve more attention sir. I've seen much too often DoPs making unnecessary comlicated camera movements without any kind of motivation behind it other than to make it look fancy. I really hope this raises awareness.

[@DSLRguide]

thank you xMEanimations! let's be intentional filmmakers!

[@paulknights3701]

Simon, I've only just stumbled upon your videos having got myself an 'entry level' DSLR and thought I could have some fun utilising the video feature of it. I've been a passionate amateur photographer since I was a kid and now and then dabbled in a little video along the way. Your films are great, your presentation is articulate and to the point getting the information across in a short space of time. And it's always nice to see what some of you guys can produce with what I'm sure many gear freaks might call 'basic' kit. Your knowledge and passion for sharing that knowledge are to be applauded. Keep it up mate. :)

[@DSLRguide]

+Paul Knights thanks for the positivity Paul!

[@JunYew]

30 seconds into the video and I can't resist to click the like button.

[@MattSantos]

I've watched other film making tutorials, but you have the best I've seen so far.

[@jcinewilliams8819]

Great explanatory on why and how effectively applying camera movements tells the story.

[@samuelaseolas]

*eats apple* this has been simon cade, ill see you NEXT WEEK !

[@Newyorkhoje]

Hello from NYC! This is all I watch lately! One video after the other...Your videos are so interesting and full of valuable information! Thanks!

[@MurkyWaterMedia13]

Simon...I am absolutely loving your videos! You are improving with each and every video and I am so glad you are focusing more on storytelling rather than gear and the technical aspects of filmmaking, because in the end cinema has always been about telling a story through moving images and that should always come first. Been a fan for a long time and am really happy for you. Keep it up dude!

[@DSLRguide]

Liam Alexander thanks Liam, that really means a lot. Happy to hear that you're interested in more than the technical side!

[@sottozen]

Really helpful and well done. Thanks a lot

[@GameTagx]

THIS IS SO AWSOME! I have the same RC chopper as you!

[@ViralYoungistaan]

THE BEST TUTORIAL BRO..

[@joekaparkour]

Very informative as usual Simon

[@VivekDemo2014]

that's great knowledge, one of my teacher said, what mind do not know eyes cannot see, i keep looking back at my work, mostly motion graphics, and we are never told these all powerful stuffs, but as i do not know them , i was not able to understand what my video lacks, thanks for sharing the knowledge, thanks for improving us, Great thanks

[@austinpyeatt]

that mountain shot almost brought me to tears. very emotional. he mustve been stuck on that mountain for weeks. ;)

[@DSLRguide]

+Austin Pyeatt (Sliight) yeah thanks it's some of my best art work (an analogy for the highs and lows of life, and how we can overcome them if we climb)

[@benjaminleehoward]

This is one of the best value add video in this world! Thanks!

[@byronsmessedupmind5546]

These are some awesome tips man. I’m deff going to take and apply them to different projects and situations

[@PharmakeiaFilms]

Your videos just keep getting better! Plus, the apple adds alot of personality

[@GrumbleTheBear]

[@TheVineyardChannel]

I must say, i am ABSOLUTELY blown away by how much detail you put in these videos. life is movement and you keep things moving. what a inspiration. keep making videos. and if you have a donate button, i will use it when i get some extra cash!!! thanks Eli

[@DSLRguide]

eli roberts thank you Eli, that really means a lot! Appreciate the encouragement :) (there's a donate button on my site if you're interested haha)

[@TheVineyardChannel]

DSLRguide Sounds Good ; )

[@abfsc]

Funny to see Compton across a sweatshirt in a preppy way.. The city Compton in the US is usually depicted a little differently, for good reason. But yea the slider and now gimbal trends have resulted in a lot of unmotivated camera movement - out of cool factor I guess - but when executed with a purpose, the end result tends to be memorable. You definitely have a knack for explaining potentially complex techniques and principles in a way that isn't too intimidating to a beginner filmmaker. Awesome how you reenacted the Double Indemnity scene as well. Keep it up!

[@DSLRguide]

Wm P a lot of people mention the Compton hoodie - I usually don't think to much about what is written on clothes haha. Totally agree with you about unmotivated movement - I think people feel they have to use it because they spent so much on it;) thats for the positivity:)

[@MichaelGreenwoodMG]

Amazing thanks. Liked and subscribed

[@WalnutDave]

Your content is very valuable Thanks

[@ijabonuurabdi8196]

Best man to learn from

[@ilyaonthefly]

As always, very informative video Simon! I've recenty been getting into creative cinematography and creative visual teqnuiqies, and this really helped me touch down on the basic fundamentals of creative camera movement. In a short action sketch/sequence I am going to do later this Summer, the character has to figure out how to escape enemy lines. I think that once he finds the solution, (which is a cardboard box...), I'll have a dolly in on him. Thanks for the tips! -Ilya

[@DSLRguide]

Ilya M. That's so great to hear, Ilya. Honestly I'm so glad to that you're interested in the creative side rather than just the tech. All the best with the short!

[@ilyaonthefly]

The creative side is the most important! And thanks for the good luck! Also, when are you going to start production on your bicyclist short film?

[@DSLRguide]

Ilya M. amen. the short film might get pushed back - writing is going to take me a long time, and i've still got school to deal with. who knows when.

[@jazzylev]

if I tried to like all of the videos of yours that I did like, I'd never have enough time... cuz that's all of them. I only recently started paying attention to the like button. on my phone its pretty small... but anyways, great job, I've learned so much from you!!!

[@MrStampfer]

this is the third video, which i saw from you and it helps me a lot =) I think you get an abo. Thanks for good explaining.

[@director_kelvo]

I love this
