Exactly! Great tip.

[@HighestBanana]

|Super, comprehensive video, Dee. With numerous links as well. Thank you greatly!

[@BeckyAlter]

Dee- great vid! Do you have a breakdown video of best cheap gimbals for iPhone?

[@91SLIFELOVEPETANITAMPAN]

Its so Inspired,thank you👍

[@Shannon_Vlogs]

I highly need to improve my b-roll game! I usually shoot it to show up-close shots of products, but I could do so much more!

[@DeeNimmin]

You're probably fine, but it wouldn't hurt to experiment. And I see a new pic! Looks great!

[@Shannon_Vlogs]

Dee Nimmin I am wearing two sets of extensions. It is literally the most amount of hair I can fit on my head. Hahahaha Glad you like!

[@DeeNimmin]

Got any hair to spare? I could use some. :-)

[@WippyChickCrochet]

Every time I watch your videos I come away more inspired! Thank you for all of the amazing ideas and introduction to apps. My videos are gradually becoming less cringe worthy. (Very gradually. LOL)

[@GordIsman]

Hey Dee, great tips here. I have one additional one to share - when using images to make b-roll, consider slow zooming or panning to get the effect of motion. As you say this might help to sync with the vibe of the video. Great work!

[@DeeNimmin]

Hey Gord! Yes! That’s a great tip! That’s called the “Ken Burns effect” and absolutely should be done when using still images. That little bit of movement can make a big difference!

[@777Ironangel]

Thank you now I know what a b roll is 😊

[@CreativeThinking52]

Knowledge is power. Thank you for sharing your awesome tips. Have a great day. 😊

[@bajantreasure4052]

Wow thank you very very much needed to know,what that was. I share all your videos and I have a playlist and your in it

[@namtanmolen1911]

Thank you so much for this video it's help a lot with my study thank you

[@KathehFIT]

Awesome video Dee! Thanks for the tips.

[@DeeNimmin]

Thanks, Kathey! How's your channel coming along? You still with Owen?

[@KathehFIT]

Dee Nimmin I'm doing the biztubeacademe from Owen (but that's more for my business side) but other than that I'm trying hard to get out there and get more view still a bit hard . Made some changes to my channel art.

[@DeeNimmin]

I love seeing people take action and make progress. I'm excited for you. Owen seriously knows his craft. Just looked at your channel real quick, I LOVE what you did with your thumbs, just beware of the time stamp. It's cutting into some of the text when it's on the right side of the thumb.

[@KathehFIT]

Dee Nimmin I think that happens only in mobile but deff will take a second look. Thanks alot 💕

[@DeeNimmin]

KathehFIT yes, it’s probably a mobile issue.

[@BigDaddysWorld]

I learned something again! Nice 👍🏻

[@DeeNimmin]

Big Daddy in the House! Thanks man!

[@KeepOnGrowin]

Good tips Dee! All the technical and aesthetic stuff aside, no one wants to stare at my face for more than a few minutes at a time either, lol. Keep them coming bro!

[@DeeNimmin]

I feel ya! Thanks Mike!

[@SuzyTopAgent]

Super Valuable Info Dee! Definitely agree, more is better and just cut what you don't need and make sure to have enough battery and memory. I've made that flub before, luckily my husband's phone saved me.

[@DeeNimmin]

Thanks, Suzy!

[@Bertramheathsr]

I'm loving these smartphone video tips cuz I suck at using my DSLR! I just got filmic pro app and it's not only powerful and does everything I need but it's also super simple for a tech dummy like me to use!

[@DeeNimmin]

Yea, that’s my favorite video app too. I’m playing with a few others right now to compare them but so far Filmic Pro is the winner. 👍

[@Ultimate360]

Love your videos 😍😍😍

[@DeeNimmin]

Thanks man! That’s why you’re legendary!

[@cleveraqua8507]

Amazing! Do you have any ideas for creative brolls and filming techniques for fish tanks?

[@Skilanator]

When I begin with Vlogs, b-roll will help alot 😁thanks Dee for the amazing timing!!!

[@DeeNimmin]

Yes, it will! Great timing indeed.

[@YYCRCFabricationz]

I do use a bit of B Roll in my videos, I find with a voiceover it helps my viewers see the type of work I do (which is paramount to them & my sales). Making custom RC's for a living, I try to incorporate anything that will make my videos more interesting & informative. Loving your tips & videos Brother, thanks sharing your knowledge & expertise.

[@DeeNimmin]

Oh yes, it works great with a voice over like you do. You can sell them while you show them images and videos of the cars.

[@RizzyG007]

You're growing fast brother!!!!!

[@DeeNimmin]

Gettin’ there. 👍

[@KETO.n.WRESTLING]

Great Info Dee. Keep the videos coming. What video software do you use for your videos?

[@DeeNimmin]

I make the videos on this channel with Vegas Video. Mobile video editing is good, but it's not where I want it to be just yet. However, when I do personal things on my phone for my family and such, I use Kinemaster on my phone and keep it pretty simple. But anything with a lot of movement and layers I take into Vegas.

[@KETO.n.WRESTLING]

Dee Nimmin Thanks for the reply. I also use Vegas. But I occasionally notice that my videos lag every few minutes for a few seconds on KZbin. Would you know why that happens?

[@DeeNimmin]

Is the video ok before you upload it to KZbin, and is it only your video that’s lagging? Email me a video of yours that is lagging for you and I’ll check it out. It’s my name backwards at gmail.

[@HubertKnoblauch3DContentOnline]

You nailed your backdrop!

[@DeeNimmin]

Thanks!

[@RareCliX]

Thanks a lot !! Dee

[@DeeNimmin]

Thank you 👍

[@BeckerFarmsMI]

Thanks for the info. I’m exclusively filming with my phone right now so I appreciate these tips. 🙂

[@DeeNimmin]

Happy to help! 😊

[@ILove_Music443]

[@modelrailer]

Great video brother! Perfect timing. I need to shoot some B-roll KUTGW buddy!

[@DeeNimmin]

Happy to help!! Go get it!

[@iSpike]

Awesome mate

[@DeeNimmin]

Thanks man!

[@FootballFan123]

[@DeeNimmin]

Hey man, thanks again. 👍

[@camrongloudon4889]

Hey dude nice vid new sub right here

[@DeeNimmin]

Hi, welcome to the channel! I appreciate you subbing and leaving a comment.

[@SALARSSHOW]

Thanks for these tips

[@DeeNimmin]

Thanks for watching 👍

[@SavageScientist]

Hey Dee, I travel alot so I just started shooting freeways and things that interest me on the road. Also filming a random crowd of people just to have that footage never know when it will come in handy. Im now good enough at editing to start incorporating it. But this next set of videos Im about to post will be my first great use of it.

[@DeeNimmin]

Email me a link when you have one up, I’d love to check it out.

[@VegardThefilmmaker]

I'm in to see as well :)

[@TimilehinAriyo]

Loved it

[@rc3151]

Thanks Dee

[@six2twelvetravelentreprene968]

Another great video man! I can see why you have such a good following. My favorite 2 tips I took away are, using B-Roll to cover up the phone changing focus during a shoot. And to plan the shoot! That's great advice for good B-roll

[@DeeNimmin]

Thanks! Those are good take aways! 👍

[@gospelmeditationswithjoann4453]

Great video!

[@DeeNimmin]

Thank you!

[@incridablekarthi228]

Great DEE ,new useful stuff as always:) and can u do video about low budget lenses for mobile?

[@DeeNimmin]

Maybe I can do a comparison video where I compare budget lenses with higher quality lenses?

[@incridablekarthi228]

Ya that I'll do two in one

[@Vandan9166]

great video thanks...

[@DeeNimmin]

Thanks!

[@BriansKitchen]

Awesome video, Dee. I have never really used a lot of B-roll footage but I am definitely going to now....I mean, I'm not interesting enough to keep people's attention for longer than a goldfish's. A friend of mine told me to pretend that everyone watching your video has A.D.D. In order to keep their attention, there needs to be a lot going on....in terms of jump-cuts, b-roll, pictures etc. This apparently helps with keep the attention of the audience. Once I noticed that, I started noticing it everywhere I consumed content i.e. TV, KZbin, basically everywhere that has something to watch.

[@DeeNimmin]

Your friend is correct. It’s difficult to hold attention these days. All the more important for creative editing, b-roll, and making an engaging video. And like everything else, it’s just something you have to practice at and experiment with to find the sweet spot for your content.

[@rPmNexus]

Awesome video and very helpful. I dont do a lot of footage with my phone but this will help when i record family vids. Made a top 10 favorite youtuber video and its awesome. 😉

[@DeeNimmin]

Is it on your main channel? I’d like to check it out.

[@rPmNexus]

Not yet it will be up sometime this week

[@asimsahil8246]

Thx Broooo ❤️ from india

[@CasualMTB]

Thanks for the video Dee, I've got to admit that B-Roll is something that I'm just starting to think about in my footage, but my issue is making sure that it's smooth and stable. I can't afford a Gimbal (yet), so I've really got to think about what I shoot, especially since my content is outdoor sports orientated. I do agree though, that talking head videos do get boring if you don't add something else in there!

[@DeeNimmin]

I’d use a tripod then and just do slow pans and tilts with it for the sport shots. You can get inexpensive travel type tripods.

[@AdventuresInWetShaving]

I do use B-Roll in most of my Straight Razor Edge Friday Special video to show what I'm doing from a different angle. Thanks for these great tips Dee!👍🙂👍#Heart

[@DeeNimmin]

I bet that makes for some interesting b-roll. Thanks for watching and keep shaving! 👍

[@AdventuresInWetShaving]

Dee I'm very interested in all the tips and tricks you are sharing.👍I use my mobile phone's for all my filming... now I'm looking a the speed ramping... and slow motion... very cool. I'm always looking to find ways to add more value and still be entertaining. Thanks for your videos👊Bam!👍🙂👍#Heart

[@DeeNimmin]

Speed ramping is awesome. Creates such a cool look. Thanks for supporting the channel, I hope it's helpful.

[@nandanparigi]

Hey love this..

[@DeeNimmin]

Thanks Nandan!

[@jericholacambra2090]

Helpful!!

[@DeeNimmin]

Happy to help!

[@FISHINandJUNK]

Really enjoying the master the mobile series 👍

[@DeeNimmin]

FISHINandJUNK thank you 👍 I hope you find the videos helpful.

[@theprobro-7892]

Another good video

[@DeeNimmin]

Thanks man!

[@IreneZGoodman]

Great video Dee. I have started shooting b-roll for my channel (haven't used them yet though). Since I have a wellness channel, I use timelapse, hyperlaspe, and slow motion of runners, cyclists, fun places in NYC, people in restaurants, etc. I do all that with my ZTE Axon 7 Mini and it has both slow motion and timelapse features built in. Makes it super easy to create b-roll video.

[@DeeNimmin]

Oh yea, you’re set then. Would love to see it when you do add it. Be sure to share when you do.

[@IreneZGoodman]

Dee Nimmin Dee Nimmin Will do. I am wondering though, since I do mostly talking head videos, how do I add b-roll and have it appear organic, not forced?

[@JohnnyGuitarRocks]

Hi Dee, you have really cool graphics in your videos. Do you mind if I ask what software you use for editing? Thanks!

[@DeeNimmin]

Thanks! LumaFusion, KineMaster, and Vegas Pro

[@JohnnyGuitarRocks]

@@DeeNimmin Awesome, thanks so much for your reply Dee!
