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

[@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.😂😂😂

[@nosaibaah7367]

[@AaronAbstract]

[@islandliving3745]

10 drone shots seem excessive 😂

[@RichDoesDIY]

Top man, Thanks for listing the shots out!

[@peterschamp8465]

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

[@alexemm]

Four! Out of hundreds to see that...

[@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. 😂

[@seanmusil]

[@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...

[@PrecisionRifleNetwork]

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

[@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.

[@abinavpicsandvids6319]

Thank you elm, mark bone has changed my life.

[@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.

[@teolinek]

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

[@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 🎁

[@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!!

[@danjones3009]

Golden hour~👍

[@PatrikMatheson]

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

[@The_CSI]

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

[@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!

[@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!!

[@anariadmin9571]

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

[@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.

[@TravisTravels]

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

[@tempest63132]

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

[@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

[@ProdChikara]

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

[@lalnallath]

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

[@roberto.urrejola]

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

[@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.

[@urartcray]

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

[@PrashantEmerge]

You've changed my understanding of b roll!!

[@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!!

[@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

[@MacSavage503]

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

[@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.

[@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

[@templeproductions8442]

I’m so glad I found your channel 🤦🏾‍♂️❤️

[@wadeclark9792]

The establishing shot is so smart!

[@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.

[@ikorroki4695]

Nice! I think every public administration wants that last guy. With video you made, he will allways get a job like that.

[@es.ce_soulchild]

My man reminds me of Steve Irwin the way he gets excited and all up in the action

[@thejameslealartco.7625]

That insurance bit was fantastic

[@IMNOTABARISTA]

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

[@eddienom]

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This man has cracked the code

[@sayitrightmedia7111]

oh hell yeah... you're sense of humor makes the grade.

[@EpicLightMedia]

Thanks!!!

[@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

[@riparianstudios]

Slow motion b-roll? What a curation.

[@EpicLightMedia]

Love it!

[@riparianstudios]

[@vinq254]

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

[@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!

[@LukInMaking]

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

[@dejayeazy2770]

Your teaching is so understanding thank you sir

[@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.

[@gastypm]

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

[@KaneAndKenny80]

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

[@ArtinSinger]

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

[@HenningDiesel]

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

[@ChuckSeayII]

I’m trying to leave a bad comment but just can’t! I just can’t say something bad about something that cracks me as well as teaches me some Great stuff! As hard as you all try, you just don’t suck! Love watching you guys try though! Awesome!

[@studiodurhone]

Thank you for the tuto from France

[@renegadeeats]

That scene where you explain you didn’t get a drone shot was hilarious! Always learning something new from this channel. Thank you! 😎👍🏻

[@shahzaibhashmi2318]

Thank you so much 💝

[@MaiElizabeth]

I watched so many tutorials on B Roll but none of them detailing the TYPES OF SHOT to do. So, I ended up messing up shooting because the order of shooting is chaotic. I'm glad I found your channel.

[@stevenperceval5928]

Love your videos, very helpful with a little humour 👍😂

[@gauravm.]

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

[@TheFandangovideoguy]

Great video! You are a good teacher. Thanks

[@alayejon]

This tips were super helpful

[@FridayTuber]

Thumbs up 👍 my friend! 🍭 So beautiful experience! I learned a lot from your video. You have a very unique way of expressing information, with these tips I try to improve my channel. 👍👌🤗🤗 I love explore the city by walking, thank you for sharing! ✌😃 watching from Saudi Arabia.

[@ruedrolet]

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