The "How I edit my shorts" section may be the single most coherent and concise breakdown of the only workable mindset towards making great, sticky online videos that people want to watch - thinking about the subjective experience of your audience and trying to make that as pleasurable, interesting, and evocative as possible.

Florian, thank you so much for all the content, it is a true blessing having you on this platform. I started watching your videos about a year ago, and when I began with my first pottery course the teachers didn’t understand why I know everything already. :) I have my own home studio now and still learning a lot from you. Pottery is amazing and it is largely because of you that I found it. Thank you so much 🙏

Having studied photography and filmmaking, and worked in the industry I am surprised that you still doing all that by yourself and with "IMovie!", as you said that alone is basically a full time job. So I appreciate you were pretty open about youtube's income. People (and more even so British people😄) try to avoid those questions. You have earned every penny of it. Your videos and photos have, with no doubt, your maker's stamp too. You see one and know it is a Florian Gadsby.. the only thing I am missing on this video is a photo of what you consider a bad one from your beginnings. To give us something to hold on if we feel we are there😆

Great clip. Thanks. Just a note on lenses. 50 to 70mm are called normal, meaning they ‘see’ the same as the human eye. They are designed to have as little distortion as possible. Same with any micro/macro lens of any mm. If you go above or below 50 to 70 with other lenses regardless of the quality you will get some distortions. This isn’t always a bad thing depending what you want in the image.

I admire anyone who can take great product photos. It’s truly an art all it’s own. I make stuff, and to sell that stuff I need to have images of said stuff…..and I’m unutterably bad at photography…..like really abysmally bad. And I know people say you can “learn”, but to learn I have to enjoy the process otherwise my weirdo brain throws up block after block, and in the end I give up.

Thank you, as always, very helpful. The ball head quick release tool looks like a huge time saver, and its prime day here in the US, so I may just get one on Amazon. One thing I thought I'd tell you is that I have gotten in the habit of tethering my camera to my laptop to make sure I have a good photo and eliminate some of the clutter on my storage drives. You probably already do this but in case you don't, I thought I'd mention it.

Have you thought about bumping up the resolution you shoot at? With both phone screens and desktop monitors increasing in resolution, KZbin's 1080p format and its lacklustre bitrate tends to lose a lot of the detail in the clay bodies you shoot. I believe the EOS 5D Mk4 is capable of 4K videography, so ultimately it'd depend on if your current Mac is up to the task of editing it.

Wise words. I have thought about changing my video output next year to twice a month as compared to once a week - higher quality, more clips, no necessarily longer but they’d have more time invested into each. Let’s see.
