IMPROVE YOUR B-ROLL with these 10 shots

[@EpicLightMedia]

Any shots we missed? What shots would you add to the list?

[@Drollinger100]

Office Clip: Maybe it would have been interesting to record how a coffee is prepared in the office kitchen and then enjoyed in his chair!

[@easilycooked6849]

Yeah that insurance office drone shot ,,, I miss it

[@mauricioflores7999]

I try to incorporate timelapses whenever I can too

[@BULLARTWORKS]

Where is HOT ROD when you need them?

[@thaMegarockmaster]

A bonus shot I'd definitely add is the slow mo looking up at the camera, always gives me shivers

[@nosaibaah7367]

Thx man Here is the 10 steps: 1 medium shot 2 close up of the face 3 close up of the hands 4 over the shoulder 5 unique angle 6 details shot 7 walk and look 8 establishing shot 9 video portrait 10 drone shot

[@AaronAbstract]

I searched for this

[@islandliving3745]

10 drone shots seem excessive 😂

[@RichDoesDIY]

Top man, Thanks for listing the shots out!

[@klyborg129]

That second interview was hilarious!

[@SoniaFernandezMusic]

Made me feel like I was watching the office 🤣

[@tiamthembu]

He literally had nothing to talk about for real.😂😂😂

[@peterschamp8465]

the epic light wooden logo on the shelf in the insurance office interview shot.... smooth!

[@alexemm]

Four! Out of hundreds to see that...

[@explevel2]

I know this goes against your brand, but your videos are easily the single most valuable resource available to improve as a filmmaker. I’m an Ursa Mini Pro G2 user myself and can’t express how excellent and helpful your content is.

[@seanmusil]

Ten Shot List: 1. Medium Shot 2. Close Up (Face) 3. Close Up (Hands) 4. Over The Shoulder (talent's POV) 5. Unique Angle 6. Details (Inserts) (get a lot of these) 7. Walk and Look 8. Establishing Shot (walkthrough door into the environment) 9. Video Portrait (talent looks into camera lens) 10. Drone Shot (no crashy)

[@TimandLauren]

thanks sean!

[@spencerdukestv]

After watching 90% of KZbin’s filming videos this was by far the most applicable. Thank you so much. Love the channel and your humor.

[@avdpost]

That gimbal balance... legendary

[@sanjaysingha8911]

@PRIVATE hahaha Nobody wants to balance that thing.. ii has motors so no need .lol i even dont balance when i changed focal lengths

[@destinfarr]

@@sanjaysingha8911 report back in a year, once your motors are burnt out. 😂

[@fajamman265]

I can not convey how happy I am through this message, but amongst all these KZbin gurus that know it all and don't; who keep showing things as a buffer of practical information YOU are the only one that I've learned the most from! I appreciate it. Please keep these kinds of works on your channel

[@EpicLightMedia]

Oh hey thanks!!! Yeah we try around here to give real actionable information

[@alexemm]

I just scanned through all of the five hundred comments and only seven of us spotted your logo in the office interview! Seriously? Great channel, I've learnt heaps as an establishing documentary film-maker, this is gold! I can't thank you enough.

[@EpicLightMedia]

Hahaha thanks so much!! Yeah he has a cool cutter machine thing and had made that for us as a present 🎁

[@PrecisionRifleNetwork]

Came for the info on B-roll shots...stayed and subbed for the sarcastic undertone on every.stinking.video. Love it.

[@jayneromero9895]

I shoot B roll all of the time. Now I have direction on what to shoot. B roll covers every mistake and adds interest. I've written down each step and I'll employ them in my new project, a farm museum. Many thanks!!

[@anariadmin9571]

How.... how... how is this content free??!?!?!?!?!??! Absolute Gold!

[@PatrikMatheson]

That pen in the guy on the desk. *chefs kiss* love this channel man - thank you!

[@tywvideo]

Did anyone else notice the Epic Light Media Logo behind the insurance guy? Great, informational video as always!

[@alexemm]

7 so far out of hundreds of comments...

[@caryrules]

Great beginner tips for new shooters. Shoot three times as many tight shots compared to medium and wide combined and you'll never be stuck editing. That's real rule 10.

[@callmemanny781]

Entertaining and helpful lol great job 👍🏾

[@miltonlegendre2024]

I have watched a couple of B roll videos. Your video was the most simplistic and best one that I understood. Most You Tube video creator try to impress themselves in their videos. Thanks you

[@evancriscuolo2693]

This is ridiculously useful, I love things that can be broken down into repeatable systems for client work. The efficiency of it makes me all warm and fuzzy inside

[@brettengland192]

Shot TV news for over 30 years until I got tired of working nights, weekends and holidays. The thing I always had in my head was "wide shot, medium shot, tight shot, action-reaction shots, cut-aways." And whenever possible I would try to have my subject walk in and out of frame for cutting to and from interviews if I wanted to save my cut-aways.

[@simonbolzdotcom]

The second interview must be your specific humor and I love that!

[@managerofthenewportplumses301]

You are a very effective presenter and I have learned a lot from watching your videos. Bonus that they are also entertaining as can be.

[@irvinc.1619]

The second interview “that toner smell yeah good stuff” haha!!

[@nicson10]

This was fantastic, thank you for sharing your tips. You and your team are among the more likeable, genuine youtube personalities that I enjoy watching.

[@RunningOhioWithBlake]

Man, now I want to work in an insurance office. I've wasted my life.

[@uda_media]

My studio used to be an insurance office! After some renovation it's a little more interesting of a place now.

[@TravisTravels]

It’s all story telling baby. Great stuff guys.

[@roberto.urrejola]

KZbin should add the "deeply thankful" button. Thank you very much for this, greetings from Chile

[@BenSemisch]

Super helpful. I always draw a blank when it's time to shoot broll on run and gun shoots. This will definitely come in handy. Might just print it out on a card and stick it on the camera lol.

[@PrashantEmerge]

You've changed my understanding of b roll!!

[@ProdChikara]

This is unironically one of the best informational videos relating to videography/cinematography while also not being corny and being funny lmao

[@tempest63132]

I can see why you don’t want any more subscribers, these videos are TOO good! Thanks for this!

[@abinavpicsandvids6319]

Thank you elm, mark bone has changed my life.

[@haystack1893]

0:59 legitimately one of if not *THE* best single shot I have ever seen!!

[@philippscheithauer]

ye well thats stock footage with an added spin in post.

[@nwb741]

Epic plant shot! shooting in slo-mo is like turning cheat mode on. Another pro-tip always hold the shot longer than you think! It happens to me too often that I am already thinking about my next shot and I give up on the one I'm on too soon

[@HarriRomppainen]

Yes! Your tutorials are fun to watch, practical, straight to the point, highly appreciated! So much better than showing how to build a KZbin studio and how to shoot KZbin videos. Most of us are not KZbinrs, but we want to learn to make films! Thank you!

[@danjones3009]

Golden hour~👍

[@adedamolamalomo6054]

Thanks for this. First channel I have seen give a shot list. Others just generalise everything. You are truly making a difference. Maja from Nigeria.

[@lalnallath]

The horse movie is a killer one...your B roll is brilliant..this formula works for any quick clients...especially with Covid budget,,,

[@pengcreations7413]

Every single video youve made has proven so useful to my work. It's like youtube film school level 2, when you're done watching all the other basic videos. I watched this video 3 times alone. Thank you.

[@LukInMaking]

I just love all your videos. Pack of awesome, useful & meaningful contents!

[@IMNOTABARISTA]

man, your channel is the best. Have learnt so much from watching your channels, great great great job.

[@areeszgandhistudios]

You guys are soo good with your videos... every time i see one i want to watch many more. Pls dont stop. Let them keep coming:) . Love from India.

[@NiraSuarez]

Thank you for the video! I subscribed today to help you reach soon those 100,000 subscribers! Keep it up, you are great! Big hug from a Spanish dancer in India!

[@ArtinSinger]

Maybe your channel is the one where I learned the most about filming at one place, at one time 👍👏🙏❤️

[@phucmapvlog]

I like the explanations through the list

[@parshurammagaji]

In my opinion, you videos are extremely simple and easy to understand. I think these are the basic that we need to master first, before thinking of creating cinematic videos. Thank you so much for this video on b roll. 🙏

[@MacSavage503]

I Seen Many B-Roll Tutorials But This One Is The Best!!!

[@emmireen]

Tom you're hilarious 🤣🤣🤣

[@VSPNetwork]

Thanks so much for creating this video. It's a great resource to have to check in with for inspiration when working on a project of my own .

[@wadeclark9792]

The establishing shot is so smart!

[@NileStudios]

"The office" it really had me on the floor hahahah!!....nice!

[@dejayeazy2770]

Your teaching is so understanding thank you sir

[@TimandLauren]

i agree thomas, a shot list definitely sets me at ease, knowing that if i take care of the fundamental shots, at the end i can get creative and film unique shots knowing im good Thanks for the tips man!

[@jonathanschmidt7874]

Mate. This is incredibly helpful! None of this is some crazy secret information but it takes one from "just randomly doing stuff, hoping for the best" to "actually having a plan" ... and that's the best point to be at. Because now you can go out and experiment, get to know what you like and find your own style. Thanks alot!

[@KaneAndKenny80]

Epic! Great list and really nice shots as well - final interview was the best.

[@lyapunov_aleksandr]

Cool!!! Thanks!! I will try repeat this!

[@drmatthewhorkey]

This is a great video and FUNNY to boot. Thanks for the idea of the video portrait

[@The_CSI]

His vibe is enough to keep me locked on to the video💥😂

[@early_friday]

Wow..! These are the tips that I've been looking for! THank You!

[@jacobssenyonga9450]

Do you all ever watch something and put on a smirky face cuz of the great amount of tips you are getting, in this video I felt that and its rare. Thanks man, I learnt a lot!!

[@teolinek]

B roll for b roll video, that's something!

[@annetteferguson1981]

Brilliant, very very helpful, thank you. Love your work and your humour.

[@gauravm.]

Man, you're informatively hilarious. This was the best and most practical B-Roll video I've ever seen.

[@jimmytmma]

Extremely helpful. Thanks so much for sharing!

[@vinq254]

The last interview just did it for me subscribed to you and Mark!

[@ImNickHuggins]

Thank you for this. So obvious now I’ve watched your video. I’ll use these techniques on my next video!

[@jeanperpillant]

I’ve really been enjoying and learning from your videos lately. You’re new to my feed, and I’m happy to find you. As a new videographer, getting these practical yet not-so-technical approaches and best practices is really great. Thanks for your efforts!

[@Praxiszooms]

that is suuuuuuper helpfull and it changes the b roll game totally...(of often times not having enough and beeing a bit uncreative ... - this helps big time!

[@arantesFilms]

You're awesome for sharing great stuff. I know it all but it's good to remember and see others workflow.

[@sdk4073]

This was one of the most valuable lessons I've seen on this channel. Almost made me subscribe.

[@sudheshsankarkk]

Thank you for sharing this in detail 🙏 much love from videographer community ❤️

[@KidKingBuu]

I've been watching since you guys first started and honestly this has been my favorite video yet. You guys are amazing!

[@EpicLightMedia]

Thanks!!!!

[@jpbarista3253]

Crystal clear information, great job

[@KyleLi]

You guys should put learning how to fly an FPV drone somewhere on your list some day! Its an amazing experience and a completely new type of shot that is rarely ever used. Its also incredibly fun!

[@AlexisBradley]

I level up with each of your vids man thank you!

[@urartcray]

I love the way you talk like bill nye or something, your animated personality makes me happy

[@ruedrolet]

Choosing shots for coverage that edit well together, whether for documentary or narrative fiction, is hard. Thanks for making it simpler!

[@showcase-me]

Please keep sharing with us the algorithm for greatness Master....

[@user-dt9kk6sg8z]

Great! Thank you! Awesome examples

[@oi643]

Awesome video! Really helps to break down B-roll into a shot list like this. Is there any chance of a video discussing things to ask during the interview? And how to adjust question depending on the person (Something you'd ask an office worker but not an athlete for example)

[@IvanSinghIG]

You're my inspiration thomas 🙌🏻 please dont stop making these videos

[@HenningDiesel]

The B/W footage of the broken drone in addition with the piano touched me.

[@peteydyer]

Any tips on avoiding reflections on establishing shots like at 6:53? My brother and I always catch ourselves in the frame!

[@LoveTech]

Great information. I love your content.

[@SYPCWAK]

Thanks. I, too, found the 2nd interview funny.

[@somasungaming9048]

I'd love to see a video of your guys' sound design process

[@830Video]

Good tips, Im glad to see i have a very similar formula. My main client is a loan origination company so very mondain things and the challenge is always to make them interesting.

[@givebackdocumentaryproduct5981]

Great video guys, and love Mark Bone 🙂

[@petarvelchev]

It Looks so simple and easy that anyone can do it. Thank you for the great content.

[@leedrick]

We have an interview to shoot this afternoon and we're going to legit print off the steps and do it exactly as you recommend. Can't wait to see the result! And one of our Mavic 2 Pro's actually still flies, however we do have one in the shop.

[@doubledark2]

if you can, post a link back here so that we can all learn

[@Indielancer]

doubledark2 came here to say the same

[@marcosaguirre9980]

iAnd here is my comment to check your results! GL bro!

[@OlgaKuznetsova]

Thank you for the list of shots, sometimes filming gets so confusing and chaotic, it's good to have a set of shots to reference! Also, second interview was hilarious!!

[@AppCreative]

I love this! Thank you!!

[@gastypm]

Argentinaaaaaaa 🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷 Edit: sorry about this comment. I really enjoyed the video and it clarifies what I unconsciously do when shooting video. Loved it!

[@alex.muntean]

Great video. Saw your subtle wooden logo in that office. Smooth... 😉

[@CameronMcManus]

Top quality as always!

[@HairCutHarry]

Dang good list ... I need to make a note. 🙂🙏🏼

[@smepable]

The second interview was sooo funny! ...Congtratulations for your skyrocketing subscriber count by the way.

[@johnreydurango5902]

[@juliencoll759]
