[@MichaelWarthStudios]

Yes, please.

[@GuyA]

somehow I can't reply directly to the video, but wanted to say Thank you, still struggling to start .. but trying to learn from you. And those videos are helping. Thanks

[@dropout.nation1]

We need more

[@Love-Oneness]

This is awesome! Newbie here. Thank you for teaching us how to be better creators. Thank you so much.

[@aanriaa]

I don't think people like to share their process of making content in such a detail like you do. This was very helpful Jeven. Thanks 💓

[@lihaumaikalanikkeahi]

I’ve been seriously struggling with how I want to approach my videos as I start my YT journey. This video has given me so much value to understand how to do what I want to do. Thank you so much!

[@WalkinChristum]

thank you for this video, just started again my journey on yt, this video helps a lot!

[@makingjourneys]

Out of all the YT tutorials on Film Making I've watched since being a creator THIS was the MOST useful. It's straight to the point, entertaining and above all realistic. THANK YOU Jeven.

[@jaimetan]

Really LOVE how you broke this down from planning to in-action to final product. I want to get better at storytelling in my videos and it’s great seeing your workflow/ process. I remember in film school (eons ago) we were taught you’ll end up with 3 films by the end: the film you write, the film you shoot and the film you edit. You made it all come together so well (AND got 2 videos out of it between the actual vid and the BTS!) 👍👍👍

[@ShimonMeetsWorld]

I’m in the process of starting to use more scripts/voiceovers in videos rather than vlogging it in person, so this video was a God send! Also helped me realise how I can implement both in camera and out of camera speaking

[@MarkHoudePhotography]

This is the thing I struggle with the most; having a script or story idea and then attempting to deliver it organically on camera. These sorts of videos Jeven, are so helpful for us creators, keep’em coming!

[@the.alexander]

Make us two. Hopefully we’ll go through.

[@jyotikevlogs973]

Count me too🥺

[@fedeannavlog]

Add myself too...

[@jaroslawkalmuk8389]

that's why I have the word 'unscripted' in my channel's name🤣

[@ankitbhattacherjee]

Thanks for saying everything about the storytelling, story writing, solo film making .... pls continue this types of video that give us a brief knowledge, experience about the whole work flow. Love ❤ from India 🇮🇳

[@fpvcruzer]

I used to teach writing to first and second graders. I helped them become writers telling the stories from their lives. From this I learned we all have meaningful stories we can tell. When I started making videos I wanted to figure out how to tell stories in this medium. This video was super helpful in providing a clear example of going from written script to making a video. Thank you! I am definitely going to visit those dunes too!

[@JustPerusing]

I come from a narrative /fiction background so it's good to see more KZbinrs going this approach. It's all about story at the end of the day. Good job.

[@the.alexander]

Thank you Jeven! You’re such a good teacher. Also enjoy your vlogs very much and like that you create your own memories by sharing those experiences that also motivate not to get a camera only but also to travel, explore and get out the comfort zone. Highly appreciate the time and effort you put on these video. Hope one day can be as good as you. Blessings

[@premiumrealtyng]

Wow. This video is amazing. I write scripts, and then it ends up as if I was reading it. You actually showed one can write and “act” the script. Makes it more natural

[@evolvetravel1]

K, I'm gunna say it, I like your channel way more than vlog courses that I've paid for. Looking forward to implementing some of your tips on meh next trip!!!

[@permanentpassengers]

This is called totally detail for insides of vlog 👍👍 Every section is so helpful for budding vloggers like us ! Thanks for this insides ☺️☺️

[@davidshields4994]

The presentation here is excellent. It pulls together several pieces of how to prepare and execute an interesting video and makes the entire process seem much less intimidating. This seems to be what makes a video work.

[@jncolligan1]

One of your best videos. Proper demystification of the process. Especially the non-linear creation process.

[@petersalt]

I haven't watched your channel in a long time. I am pleased to say that you are very consistent and that is great. This video offered some great tips and advice for people looking to make a short film. Well done and thank you.

[@ad_Benturing]

I struggle with story telling in shooting and making my videos. This video gave me a better glimpse on how I can be able to tell a story. Now, I am excited to start new stories. Thanks! 😁

[@dougcooper4917]

Excellent Video, Excellent Information , and Excellent Advice. The Sound You Captured Was Amazing. Thank You.

[@RunSensible]

This is absolutely fantastic. You tied together so much stuff that I know but can never pull it all together. Thank you!

[@RubenMartinez-zx5od]

Man, you just became my inspiration and my teacher at the same time, I wanted to make You Tube videos since like 5 years ago, and after watching some of your videos I"ve learned a lot and I'll start as soon as possible, Thanks a lot for real

[@StuWNZ]

I'm right at the start of my KZbin journey and are loving your videos, they have been very helpful. Thanks.

[@SammyandTommy]

Super valuable breakdown! Good work 👊 Thanks for sharing!

[@VillageBoatShop-mq7jk]

Excellent breakdown. Thank you! I feel like I could have good content but I don't know the process. Been learning software, editing, and now what makes a story. There is a lot more to this than I originally envisioned. Videos like this are so helpful.

[@tacrewgirl]

Your storytelling and tutorials are top notch. Thanks Jeven!

[@milokoning5006]

This is where the KZbin Like-button, really doesn’t do the video any justice. This breakdown video is way better then most videos I like.

[@AlessioFurlan]

Wonderful video! You helped me understand so many things that I have been studying and could not concretize! Thank you for what you showed me.

[@MichaelWarthStudios]

I really appreciate you sharing your process, Jeven. As one who finds difficulty in scripting the idea and producing a video, it really is helpful to see how other creators act on their ideas.

[@BlackHippieCouple]

This was so enlightening! I've always struggled with format. Its artful how you break complex things down so its easy enough for anyone to understand. So glad I came across your channel.

[@ezelinkmedia7228]

you are a legend. No need to attend a film school this Video is enough for me. Thank you so much

[@Nita_Smiley]

As I’m getting into storytelling and just posted a video on it today and immediately stumbled on this video. I appreciate this so much as I will use this to improve on my work. ❤️❤️

[@jd5787]

I am simple man, Jeven posts a video, I like because I know it is going to be quality, then I watch. Never fails 👌😉👍

[@biswajeettamang477]

Thank You sir for this video. Loved how you explained and demonstrated your work. Felt thankful for coming across your channel.

[@dannycgdfilms]

This video just took my storytelling skill from 0 to 🚀 thank you for this piece ❤

[@ClaudioDesideriFilms]

This video is pure gold! I found few techniques that I already use myself, which made me very proud actually, like the variety of shots using both vlog style and tripod. In my case since I'm usually on my own I tend not to bring a tripod and use my bag instead as a base for the camera, or the mini tripod used for vlogging. In this video I also found other techniques that I might include in my workflow and I thank you for that Jeven

[@theaverageguytraveller7253]

I really love how you can make an entire video just about 1 place and it’s interesting the entire time. I have a hard time doing that, my instinct is just “so you kick some sand, and it makes noise! Pretty sick, right?” Lol. I’m exaggerating a bit but you really have talent

[@IslandUncharted]

When I started my KZbin journey I was all over the place, hell I still am. I found this video and it gave me some guidance that really helped me. My channel has grown since but I have forgotten your advice. I needed to take a step back an re-access what I was doing. My next video this week will be tailored on the principals you taught me here again. Thanks @JevenDovey I really apricate it.

[@mosunsannitradingasbambiba5351]

Thanks so much for this video. Needless to say this was so helpful for someone new to storytelling using social media platforms. God bless

[@JevenDovey]

Glad it was helpful!

[@filipmjertan1691]

Great video! Perfect for somebody looking to start content creation. Appreciate the level of details you included. Thank you so much!

[@rumeshmaduranga5941]

There are no word to discribe how beautiful it is plz come to sri lanka ❤🎉 love from sri lanka❤😊

[@EveryFurtherMile]

My husband and I have collectively watched this video 4 times... we want to get ALL the info. It's so we'll done! I've not seen a video that does such a good job explaining how to make a great video.

[@peterplantec7911]

Keven, this was well done and presented. Thank you for sharing your approach. Good advice here.

[@courtneyblaster7948]

Fantastic!! Great tips for tricks of the trade and breakdown. I now want to check these dunes out! It actually sounds like such a “deep chasm of distorted sounds that resonate above the dunes”. Sea floor? It sounds like there’s something still there, huge, and beneath the subterranean.

[@ActionXander]

Loving the behind the scenes content, Jeven! I've certainly been trying to incorporate these points to my own content creation workflows the last year or so. Love the "take away" bit and feel that's super underappreciated! Keep up the awesome work 🤙🏻

[@extraordinarymoments]

Jeven, thanks for sharing your script process. I tend to write the script post trip. This really makes sense, with all the research that goes into planning a shoot, that's the time to get your "talking points" together. I should know from my experience in front of the camera for media stories and documentaries, duh.

[@extraordinarymoments]

ironically, non-KZbin related, eight years ago today I did my largest press conference pulling in 1.6 billion impressions worldwide on the discovery of the shipwreck "City of Chester" in San Francisco Bay. I pulled it off, but I could have been better prepared with talking points (script!). To your point, plan the script, practice the script, the rest will fall into place during the shoot

[@GoldenK9Campers]

This is so awesome. I really appreciate how you break down your process. It give us such insight. Thanks so much !!

[@backyardkayakingcamping8778]

I have literally watched this video multiple times studying everything. And I am currently applying it to my next video. Thank you soo much for making these.

[@ArcticNorthAdventures]

Thanks for such a detailed description of the video. Your buddy looked like the sandman from Star Wars, did. seen it just in one second so was difficult to see 100 percent 😅 great work thanks for sharing.

[@kidilantraveler]

You are a legend man. Let me use this tricks and will tell you about my experience later. Thank you❤️

[@rcoleman8309]

Thank you so much for all you do. Your channel has been a priceless resource for me in my journey as a drone videographer. Thank you🤘🏾

[@DjemoGraphic]

Hi Jeven. Great video as always. You convinced me to do the scripting prior to filming. Though post-filming script-writing worked well for me for the last 3 years YouTubing, your method seems advantageous, especially to film according to the script; e.g. how to reach. I will try it out for the next time when filming.

[@adventurecoalition3690]

Such a good video, you present the information so easily. Appreciate the effort you put into this video to help us become better presenters. Thank you 🙏

[@JevenDovey]

Glad it was helpful!

[@jordanselemani9860]

you saved the day Jeven. you got yourself a follower

[@AndyGoesOutside]

this waklthrough method is so much more usefull than other similar "how to" youtube videos

[@190Michael190]

Please more of these breakdowns! I'm learning a ton from this!

[@peterfritzphoto]

Awesome again, Jeven. These videos of yours are so helpful - thank you! BTW, you forgot your end card. 😉👍

[@KokowaSarunoKuniDesu]

Good concept and useful how to info. Begs larger questions that suggest a followup. Such as- well, these dunes are barchans, and they have a concave side and a convex side. Does the sound occur irrespective of which side you are kicking? Or is it only on the concave side? The latter would suggest the hollow is focusing and magnifying the sound, and projecting the echo back off the distant mountains. If you know the distance of the mountains, and time the delay to hearing the sound, you can verify or falsify this hypothesis.

[@cynthiagarytravel]

This is a very helpful video!! All of my videos are currently B-Roll, but we wanna start adding VO to make it more interesting, so thank you!

[@Latvijasfans]

Very important intro for this topic. Then some books and then a lot of practice.

[@secret_step]

Hey Jeven i wanted this kind of vlog for storytelling . Thank you so much coz u explained in a very good yet simple way. Thank you

[@briskettaco]

This is such a great video. I love seeing a creator’s process. 🎉

[@Koraka_ARandomGuy]

I love that sound. I had it in Namibia and it was the first time so strange but made so much fun the following times. The first steps where like a deep high flute till a more like a train or plane aftwrds.

[@Anthronauts]

That was a clear and informative story breakdown. Thank you, Jeven!

[@weeklyfascination]

Very helpful. I'll be watching the breakdown as well. Thank you!

[@yildirimenes7756]

You are the best God Bless you Best regards from Bodrum Turkey

[@amitdutta8768]

I really learnt a lot about story telling through a vlog. Thank you so much, Jeven !!

[@shutterswoo]

Jeven, thanks for sharing your process. It is very kind and thoughtful of you sharing. You are an inspiration. You motivates me to be a better story teller. You are the best. Have a beautiful day.

[@AlpachinoHuSTle]

Great delivery 🔥

[@Daltons_Advantures]

Really working on my storytelling, this is great!

[@mikesimcox7932]

Hi Jeven, this was extremely informative for me, I really enjoyed the story breakdown process that you portrayed, I hope I can implement some of your techniques in my content - thank you 🙏

[@JevenDovey]

Glad it was helpful!

[@APokemonOdyssey]

This was an absolutely amazing video. Thank you for sharing your process

[@wedahelenaviews]

Thank you very much for sharing your process! I noticed that the sound while talking on the desk was a lot `sharper` then while filming outside. I found it a bit unsettling to hear that change and also prefer the outdoor sound (probably the dji mic) - just a personal opinion!!

[@groundbreakerexplore]

I am learning a lot of great ideas and information about great video scripting. Thanks a lot.

[@VictorandMJ]

Great video and explanation. Can't wait to try and implement it for our next video! Storytelling really is a skill that needs to mastered.

[@glasgowharleyrider]

Genuinely interesting topic, in addition educational and inspiring. Thanks

[@Photillustrator]

Awesome video. Thanks for showing your process as I'm always wondering what that looks like and if I'm anywhere near doing it the way you pro's do.

[@octaviobgaray]

A great content... by the way the story is narrated. congratulations.!!!!

[@ty2u]

Great video, very informing. I’ve had all these problems telling stories with video. Thanks for “spelling out” your procedure.

[@pp5kt]

The more you teach the better you became.👏

[@craiganderson9341]

Great video! I need to work a lot on my story-telling and this helped a lot - thanks man!

[@FilipinosaAmericavlog]

Jeven , loves your tutorial. Want to learn more . From Texas

[@AbduljabbarAli]

[@Brigadiraa]

Awesome video and explanations as always. Thanks a ton!

[@pathcam]

[@GlobalGuides]

I found it hard but this time I will follow your breakdown step by step.

[@eszterdomina]

That is an amazing hook!!❤❤❤

[@PatagoniaTrekking]

That's Gold, Jerry! Gold!

[@williechieukam]

Many thanks for the video. I have learnt a lot. Keep going!

[@NoBrain161]

Love these breaking down videos, it has so much added value compared to other content creators that you feel give you a bit while selling they're giving you the whole process. Super interesting thank you so much!

[@memyselfthought]

Thank you so much !! This is what i have been missing !!!

[@JevenDovey]

You're welcome!

[@lonniesfilmmaking333]

Cheers so much love it plus easy to follow and achieve beginning to end 👍❤️

[@onnivision6464]

Thanks for info. Your video looks and feels very organic.

[@dropout.nation1]

Damn this channel is interesting learning story telling with the best

[@christophereric1407]

I watched to the end looking for the Harmon 8 part circle, Save the Cat, or your Dovey framework starting with Hook outline. Is Studio Binder or something similar overkill for a home creator?

[@shahzadhussain642]

People like yoh deserve 100000million subs and likes ❤

[@VideomapTV]

very educational video I love what you do so much

[@FeralFeminine]

How does this not have more views? Thank you for your help!

[@SailingPivo]

Great video man. Would love to see more of these. 😍

[@richardhyatt-beekeeping]

Love the story. I visited the Death Valley sand dunes circa 1962. While living in the San Fernando Valley, my uncle took my brother and I. Was a great time and I've been to many sand dunes across the US since then. Including Great Sand Dunes National Park where I climbed a 750' sand dune. Very hot day and on the way down my wife met me with a cold Pepsi. Someone offered to buy it from me for $5. (That's like $50 today), Yeah, I turned him down!
