How to Become a Better Filmmaker

[@HNeatR]

Bro, the amount of work that went into this video (and in everyone of them)!!!! Setting up for multiple angles, the prep for the talking heads... Appreciate the grind man. Absolutely inspirational.

[@bmcla34]

I have definitely been focusing more on sound design, obviously I'm still learning, but i see the benefit and the depth that it brings to video/film. Composition is another thing I'm trying to get better at, thanks for the tips.

[@AidinRobbins]

Glad this could help out!

[@joshmoxey.]

You're going to earn yourself millions of subscribers with this consistent quality, brother. Keep it up. Thanks for inspiring me to level up my filmmaking.

Aidin: You have no idea how much the deconstructed explanations of your creative content, workflow, and process have helped me grow from when I started as a noob trying to document my bicycle trips, to where I am in one year. While I'm very happy with my progress, but I have a great deal to learn along the road of developing those skills in the complex craft we call filmmaking. While equipment, time, and financial restraints hold some growth back, it also forces me to concentrate on other things that are more important, rather than getting caught up with "too much too soon" Thank you for giving all of us insight into your great work. One episode that has really stuck with me, was your PNW film, followed up by the sound editing. Thanks again.

[@wondersboy6550]

Your story telling way is one of the best thing in your video

[@embarklife]

sound completed the cinema, half a century to complete the motion picture theater experience. loved the video, great points, love the personal takes. 80% of the drone shots didn't make it, you're a good man.

[@ahmadlaila]

The color grading you did is really fantastic, the pure black with nice skin tones, with this dark greenish is amazing !

[@WesleyProductions]

These tips are gold! Definitely agree with all of these, especially in the outro when you said that filmmaking as a craft is all of those elements coming together and working towards a concept. Thanks for sharing this video! Love the vlog/tutorial style of you hiking!

[@thomasshealy962]

Thank you again, Aidin! These videos are always amazing and awesome audibly and visually. Hope you had a good time shooting this, buddy!

[@onairproductions007]

Dude, just watched 3 of your vids. Excellent tips! im glad you are not pushing the 'subscribe" constantly but you are focused in delivering instructions, tips and all that. Thanks man!

[@GoingSomewhereTogether]

Such useful and practical advice! How you present seemingly intimidating stuff makes it more approachable and doable, and just pumps us up to keep creating better content. Thank you!

[@MayanksTech]

Aidin Always Put His All Effort For Make A Amazing Video and Inspire me to Put up a camera.

[@thumbbull]

You have grown a lot dude! Cheers to your progress!

[@photographyrodenberger7660]

Wow, you are fantastic at your craft. You’re a great editor, voice over, and writer! You are smooth in your speaking skills and a wonderful talent! I’d hire you any day! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and doing it beautifully!

[@Fairburn3D]

Well done Aidin, I've been shooting since 1986 and I have instructed all over the world... I love to learn, and share that wisdom. Thanks for providing me great videos that help explain the Whole process to a new generation... So please keep up the great work and encourage people to go make beautiful images and share the world from their point of view... Thanks for reminding me of a Time when everything was fascinating... Stay Thee Blessed...

[@bhaviktelisara253]

That bridge clip is out of this world....The moody colors are changinggggggg💫💫💫

[@AidinRobbins]

The moody colors aren't going anywhere! But that shot would have looked gross with muted greens ;)

[@webgraphr718]

All great points and reminders of how each step is vital to the end product. Thanks for continuing to share high quality content Aidin!

[@AidinRobbins]

Glad you enjoyed this one!

[@AutoFOCUSED.]

One of the best KZbinrs out, as far as this lane is concerned. Keep teaching. I’ll keep trying to absorb all this knowledge.

[@lucinematic]

Outro-intro sequence with sound design is mind-blowing

[@jessmundo]

This is better than I’ve seen on the bigger film channels. Thank you for the tips!

[@jojigraison]

Hey Aidin. I am learning so much filmmaking things from you channel. Thanks for the videos

[@LifeTrod]

[@YuiSenpai]

[@johnredwine]

Love this type (how you set camera up, why you compose in such a way, dealing with natural lighting etc)

[@speliotis]

Enjoy your videos & share them with others I feel will learn something new .... Thank you for all your efforts...

[@dr.revenue3636]

currently doing a sound design course right now for my video production program...it is incredible how much work can (and should) go into it. Great video as always!

[@pkawas]

[@ConceptNewEra]

Always so good to see a video from you man! Absolutely amazing insight and definitely true, all these steps are considerations to dive into! Thank you for always sharing your thoughts and tips to make the process as smooth as possible for those of us in the craft!

[@gr8muff1n]

Man I love your stile. Everytime I see your videos I would like to do more filmmaking, but I struggle to do the editing afterwords.

[@KhalidAskar]

Amazing as always. Your advice and lessons have been a pillar to my cinematography journey !

[@naikuanchubattuta5961]

You always have the best cockpit shot in your car. I'm figuring out your camera setup.

[@chocolateanddutchy]

Definitely need to work on sound design. This video is so nice to watch, so much effort you put into making this! I can learn a lot from you.

I am watching this the third time now. Always as good of a video.

[@joshrathbun1]

"just by showing up you are already ahead" --- Dude this was so true! Im not the best at it by any means, but in my niche, all i gotta do is show up lol Many thanks for your awesome vids! I use so much of your technique in the way i plan my shots...

[@kazinayeer]

bro, when you shot the shot where the sun was hitting you on the face and you said that it was terrible, it still looked better than all the shots i've taken in the last few months xD

[@calmmap4065]

Thank You for giving high quality Content for us ❤️

[@RoccoGermani]

Love this video Aidin, I think out of all of these I definitely struggle the most with lighting. For some reason it's hard to wrap my head around it. Thanks for the tips, and as always you know I enjoyed this one! 🔥💯

[@Chris-ey7zy]

Take drawing classes

[@Yellilaresan]

Amazing video brother .So good to see you back after 2 weeks !🙂

[@westvirginianlivin9871]

Really appreciate all the work you put in to every video Aidin. When i get the notification i look forward to it all day till i can sit down, watch, enjoy, and learn. As a tiny channel and only using a phone do you have any recommendation for a decent editing program?

[@cyruscrossan]

Premiere Pro or DaVinci Resolve (free)

[@zoh4ir]

Oh wow, I m a week late. I didn’t get any notifications so I got curious and visited your channel and to my surprise, you did upload.

[@tomgavlas-alpinetrails8143]

Great tips but the best is just watch your videos and try to analyse your cuts and B-roll while you talk. This video is DOPE as all of your videos. Thank you for sharing this man!!! good luck🙏

[@wayanbarre]

I literally had to replay the sound design sequence 4-5 times just because how good it was! Was it 100% from the sound you recorded or did you « add » sounds in post?

[@donhendricks3190]

Everything you do is valuable to me. Thanks again.

[@jcfivepoint93]

This channel is underrated. Keep it going 🔥

[@PLUGNPLAYMUSIC]

Very helpful, thank you so much bro ❤️ Keep up the good work 👍 Good day to you 😇 ✌️

[@Injaras]

[@AidinRobbins]

So glad to hear that! Always the goal :)

[@ghulamghaus6276]

I didnt really know a creator like you existed untill "Anithing" talked about you in his video. And Man he said right about you being Super Underrated. Looking forward to see 5M under your channel name😍

[@sahariarmondal2751]

Always learn something new from your videos.... although you are an great artist & a filmmaker but I must say that you are the master of story telling... Love you bro ❤️

[@kaspergaram]

Great video, as always 😊 As for the backlight, I wouldn't have the sun straight behind you but a bit to the side. In my opinion that creates a way more pleasing shadow and a more natural looking image all around

[@free4kfootage-nocopyright925]

Appreciate your work! Great tips!

[@raulperez3749]

Love learning from this channel. Thanks for keeping it simple!

[@shahoodmoeed8384]

[@REVIEWSONTHERUN]

Always amazing to learn something different from different perspectives. Thank you for sharing it. ✌️

[@trebelsworld]

Hi Aidin, At 7:54 - when you have that nice foreground blur with the plant - are you using manual focus or autofocus? If you're focusing manually and are alone how do you set the focus if you're also the subject? Great content as always!!! Really appreciate the tips

[@Sabrithai]

I love your videos as always. Which type of micro are you using ? ( the brand please )

[@Dmzfotografie]

great like always! Thanks for sharing and making this video!

[@ElBoyoElectronico]

Yeees! Couldn't aggree more 🙏

[@JustinMin27]

OMG THOSE GREENSSS

[@heyromannvlogs4173]

I would add another point to this video, the story. If you don't have a story, maybe the rest of the ponts makes no sense, so I think it's really important to have something to tell

[@nature_body_adventure]

Thank you Aidin, I am learning a lot from your videos! :)

[@TheJustinFlowers]
