Good Job as always. No One realises exactly how much work that was. You had another camera filming yourself , doing a behind the scenes of filming. I'm sure that took you longer than a day . All the best

[@BenettGraezer]

Thanks a lot, i really appreciate it 💯. The video took me around 4 days to make. Day 1 - finding the idea, scripting and planning. Day 2 - filming, Day 3 and 4 - editing and publishing. The hardest part, like you mentioned was filming myself while filming myself as I had to setup two cameras and also carry it up the hill. Defintely more time consuming but I still had fun and I knew that my viewers would enjoy a video like this one :)

A brilliant production Benett. Loved every minute of it. Your filmmaking skills and ability to demonstrate them are outstanding. Great job! ⭐️🎥🎞️👍

Fantastic video! I was researching this topic recently and this video explained it perfectly. More like this would be so awesome. So educational and appreciated. Thanks

[@BenettGraezer]

Thank you so much!

[@benspalding416]

I had been looking for a video for years like this, that went into detail on how to film such a project. Your instructions are close to perfection. I think that I can actually do this now on my iPhone since you described in detail the techniques that need to be used.

[@BenettGraezer]

Thank you so much for your feedback, I appreciate it 🔥

[@alicecalmon4807]

I really appreciate the work you put into this. Other youtubers are so fast paced and sometimes it gets overwhelming, but you explained everything in a thoroughly and calmly manner. Than you so much, truly. Your hard work did not go unnoticed and I wish you the best in your career.

[@BenettGraezer]

Thank you so much for the kind words 😊

[@RE-xv9fp]

Wow what I loved the most about this video is how higly pedagogical it was. Because of how you showed us the set up-behind the scene for every moment and then directly followed that with the final result for every moment. Instead of clumping the final results in the end as an own section in this video. This was so mych easier to understand and follow for someone so new to this that I really need to see things step by step!

[@BenettGraezer]

Thank you so much for your feedback! Happy to hear you got so much value out of this video 💯

I have enjoyed every minute of this video and I am planning to return to it many times later. You have mentioned that the editing can be done completely on the phone, I believe it is going to be a great part 2 for this video.

[@BenettGraezer]

Thanks you so much! Yes it can definitely be done on a phone but always keep in mind that mobile apps have their limitation. Maybe there will be a part 2 ;)
