OR A ONE WOMAN TEAM. MUCH LOVE TO ALL THE FEMALE FILMMAKERS OUT THERE!!! You are crushing it!

Can we please take a second to appreciate this dude making such amazing films every dang week?! I appreciate it a lot man. Learning something new on a weekly basis!

I just had the same thoughs. (only year later) just found this chanel and I've been whatching now the videos last 2 weeks like a "mad lad" because so interesting and so much knowlege. Thanks!

i was typing how to Film a Documentary By yourself i swear to God ,and then saw this on the Feed, Love you man

[@markbone]

Lol, good timing!!

[@FerrisFilms77]

Haha bro

[@user-bf4mg7qz6j]

Mark, I’m an ICU nurse who also has a love for documentaries. I’ve been in discussions with my hospital about filming a documentary inside the COVID unit I work on. The information in this video was so incredibly pertinent to me! I’m an absolute novice, and this project is bigger than me, but with the help of people like you, I feel like I can succeed!

[@adventureStaley]

SOLID tips man. I love solo shooting. LESS IS MORE.

[@HonJazzz]

Figuring out the ending before you start is fantastic advice. Thank you!

[@MarioSoMedia]

Great tips Mark! Completely agree with all of these tips especially the "compact soundbites"! As someone who produces 1 min stories out of 20-30 minutes interviews with 2-3 people, this is key!

[@wolfmediaimaging5896]

mark You're simply amazing man the fact that you're giving away knowledge that universities are charging thousands of dollars for I really do want you to know I appreciate it

[@markbone]

Thanks mate, very kind of you 🙏🏻🙏🏻 I also have a course 😂

[@wolfmediaimaging5896]

I missed the first open enrollment definitely gonna join the second

[@Glen.Danielsen]

P.S., Mark: the thumbnail image for this video is exquisite! The night nuances that decorate the female just demand appreciation from a visiting eye. And you yourself with the decked-out camera is perfect complement to her. In a thumbnail! 💛🤗

Seeing those people worshiping was a beautiful sight man. Love it.

[@pierrezapata90]

Your videos are incredibly helpful. I have made a short documentary for some friends about their sustainable farm business. Every bit of advice you've given was something ive run into myself or something i should've heeded as a type of warning you make sure i do when filming. Great content!
