Film Courage is a Blessing for us who want to become Professional Filmmakers! Thank You for ALL that you do!

[@swashy8933]

There are a few sucky interviews on this topic. This one was hugely valuable interview for me, many thanks. 29 min was just what I needed to hear.

[@heathenhippie]

wow, I am so inspired. I am just starting a KZbin Channel and I'm working on doing Documentaries. They wont be good to start with but watch me grow. I have so many pointers on this one. Thank you so much for this film.

[@zakaria_baloune]

[@Blgarrettfilms]

Freaking awesome interview Film Courage! I've watched this interview a half dozen times over the past year and a half and it inspires me every time I see it:)

[@Joepa1956]

I am putting together the initial elements of a documentary. This interview and discussion was invaluable. Thanks.

[@chadsexinton]

these questions were very specific and great.

[@rubystones341]

[@filmcourage]

Cheers Ruby!

[@MenonkNaldo]

Very encouraging . It answered a lot of my questions!! Thank you so much!!

[@IronGateFilm]

Thank you so much for sharing this video with us - I have been looking for something like this for ages and truth be told, I love listening to Kevin explain things without jargon, he makes stuff like this instantly accessible to noobs like me. Thank you again,

[@markbailey6051]

I am just getting into the sport of paramotoring an I think a documentary about this sport witch is becoming very popular needs someone to tell the history of how it evolved and where it's going. People are dying and with the right information a lot of death's can be avoided. A comprehensive list including the names, dates, location and equipment involved in the accidents will be well received.

[@nuradhajayasanka7872]

Thank you , Thank you very much Kevin

[@CylusDdembe]

Really interesting and helpful. Thank you

Glad it was helpful!

[@Cold417]

Fighting for your film over an unsigned release is a nightmare. Always get the release first! Even if the subject/cast/crew is your friend...You never know who's going to change their mind and screw over your investment (time, money, sweat).

[@filmcourage]

Thank you for watching. Great advice!

[@deirrikethesmurf3000]

[@PrettyLady7282]

[@filmcourage]

+Hoan Lee Thanks Hoan Lee, we recently put this playlist together kzbin.info/aero/PLez8jOvskc-OyTGv1ENXV7LdfN2dFS1OC if you are looking for more on documentary filmmaking.

[@newsbatavian]

Good interview up to the point of discussing releases. If your doing a project of news/education value (not fiction) and you’re in a public place, a place with no expectation of privacy, anything you shoot is fair game. You don’t need a release. A subway platform is a public place with no expectation of privacy.

[@tess303]

Awesome!

[@ty2u]

Great interview. Good stuff!

[@Otasansantv]

Very interesting

[@peterkortvel]

19:19 what does he mean most dslr cameras are not image stabilized the same way as video cameras? Did he use a camera without IBIS in that case or is he suggesting ibis in dslr is adjusted towards stabilizong motion for taking pictures not videos?

[@TERRAMOUNT]

love it!

[@sorinflorea]

This is amazing info!!! Thank you! But, who framed this? Framing makes this difficult to see, I just listened.

[@deirrikethesmurf3000]

I had a couple Questions as far as Making a Doc.: 1. I'm starting my own documentary about my life and others around me mainly me but i made my first intro clip but used a friend to do my videography how can i own my First clip and copyrights? 2. Is it. Better to have my own Camera and materials to film or use someone elses?

[@localtakes]

Copyright law varies by country, but in the United States, by default you own the copyright for what you create. If your friend was operating the camera, and if anyone else was helping, then it is a collaborative work and all of you may be able to claim ownership of what you created together. For this reason, you want everyone on your crew and everyone appearing on screen sign a release form. The standard release form will state that a producer or company owns the work (in this case, you), and that the person signing does not own the work. You can find templates online if you're just getting started. I'm not a lawyer, so this is not legal advice, I just want to help point you in the right direction. There are a lot of pros and cons to owning vs borrowing equipment. It depends on what you want to do in the long run, like do you want to be the cinematographer? It depends on how often and how spontaneously you want to shoot, like will you miss a shot because you have to wait for the equipment? And it depends on what money you have available. I'd say prioritize buying the things you will use most often, if you will personally be using it. But importantly, I am a cinematographer. Many people I work with don't own any equipment, because they're directors/producers etc. and they're counting on me bringing a certain amount of equipment.

[@ty2u]

Great video. Not much for talking heads but content is king. I make short KZbin videos. Everything I hear here I can use. Thanks!

[@Learnnaw]

I am going to begin making documentaries about my country Afghanistan, any suggestions What makes you more excited about that I need ideas

[@annarold1709]

Everything! Religion, political struggles, education systems, women rights, changing culture with modernization and globalization , marriage customs . Every country has so much to show💖 Good vibes

[@georgeh3604]

Made any progress on this? Would be interested in giving it a watch

[@Learnnaw]

@@georgeh3604 thank you so much for reminder will definitely update you I trapped wit other stuff

[@AidenAidens]

Very helpful. Cheers guys.

[@filmcourage]

Cheers! Thanks for the comment Aiden.

[@max3000speed]

isn't it called Crumb from 1994? and not Krum?

[@dollysuniverseofahimsa7491]

Can you do a.documentry. for.2hrs, instead of 90 minutes?

[@localtakes]

Sure, you can make a documentary any duration you want. There may be commercial reasons for choosing certain durations, but there are many meaningful and successful docs that aren't 90min. Major outliers that come to mind, Shoah (1985) is 9.5 hrs, while the series "60 Second Docs" has a lot of great 1min films.
