I built a one man film crew. Here's how.

[@namenl2205]

You're trying way too hard. Because you're almost acting in all your KZbin videos, it feels like a show-off. Also, you can't act mate, leave it to filmmaking, at least you're good at that. Not my cup of tea.

[@MAKEARTNOWCHANNEL]

My response is not for this guy ^^* he is beyond reprieve. My response is for all those who wish to create and want to be a youtuber or filmmaker--- and who may read such a needlessly disparaging comment in their future. The same people told me this terrible advice when I had 50k subscribers. I didn't listen then. Then again when I had 100k. Then 200k. I've never listened as these comments are more telling of the person leaving it, than they are of me. You can see right thru these thinly veiled barbs. This is a person who is crippled with self doubt and self hate. So how do you not be like this guy ^^? Stay ernest and inventory your own work, you will be more successful, as you will be spending more time working, and less time judging others. Judging others = judging yourself. And that leads to self hate, and unnecessary comments like this above. Don't be like this guy, do the work, follow your passion, be humble, and practice compassion. Compassion for others and compassion for yourself. When you do that, you will see bodies of work and appreciate the amount of time they took because you relate. Now, For all my haters, I respect you, you keep me honest and humble, but one day you will wonder about your own life--- was it worth holding onto all the hate? Did you ever follow your own dreams? I hope you ask these questions before you are too old and soured--- though, I known nothing about you, perhaps it's already too late.

Nice job!! I was shocked you made such a cool, slick video but used a song at 3:42 and 6:36. You could get a copyright claim for the WHOLE video even for using a few seconds of songs and the copyright holder will take away all the monetization on the video because KZbin sides with them by default. It may not have happened so far but will happen in a few days, weeks, months or even years as the algo is sometimes glitchy and slow to sense and catch up. Even if YT never senses it, copyright holder could claim it manually as they have copyright tools in YT to see which of their content is used by others that were not claimed monetization yet. Epidemic sounds has some cool stuff to use instead.

[@KwamenaA]

Sound guy comment here. If you're shooting in a smaller space than this amazing studio I would avoid 416 as it can lead to some warbling sounds as its a shotgun mic and those tend to be better outside because they can pick up reflections from the side of the mic. You'll be better off with a hyper cardioid mic like Audio Technica 4053B which retails about 600usd. There are even cheaper options like Oktava mk12 etc. Anyway do your own research..Curtis Judd has an excellent channel if you need help. Great content as always! Thought I just drop in a comment for those not on a higher budget and space :)

[@MAKEARTNOWCHANNEL]

Solid advice! Yeah I locked in with sennheiser after touring a few Hollywood mixing studios and seeing what my buddies who mix movies were doing with VO and ADR tracks with. But it makes sense as they would want to match the onset mics--- I was VERY impressed with the ride NTG video mic. VERY IMPRESSED. I think it's the best on camera shotgun mic bang-for-the-buck at the moment.

[@KwamenaA]

@@MAKEARTNOWCHANNEL Yeah! 416 is a workhorse and you could probably use it instead of a hammer for nails and still record just fine haha. It's one of the classic mics. Just as generally speaking shotgun mics work better outside because their pick up pattern is much narrower and they can filter out a lot of unwanted noice. This is why sometimes, in more reflective environments, they pick up reflections from the side of the mic with their interference tube. it's not a problem if you have sound proofing/panels/blankets/no reflections. 416 is also not as forgiving on off axis as a hyper cardioid would be. In controlled environments like studios (if there isn't a lot of noice) usually they work better. MKH8050 or MKH50 (more aggressive sound and price lol) from Sennheiser could be great but there other great brands too like Sanken, Schoeps, DPA etc. It bottomless bit like lenses hah. I've heard good things about the NTG video mic! Also another one to check out in the price range is Deity D3 pro. It's 199usd to Rode's 249usd. Anyway love the content.
