Oooh! This is a great perspective!

I love it when a german breaks down art into organized steps

Nice breakdown of storytelling. Maybe I missed it but, a major part of keeping the viewer engaged is "stakes". What happens if the character doesn't achieve the goal. The higher the goal the bigger the stakes. Nobody cares if Jonh is late for his dentist appointment, but I want to see if Jonh beat the LA traffic before his son is born because his wife will leave him otherwise.

Ich habe das Video jetzt zum zweiten mal angeschaut und habe Details entdeckt und schöne Shots mehr wahrgenommen als beim ersten mal schauen. Da steckt so viel Arbeit und Leidenschaft drin. Das Video verdient 100 000 views

[@pascalbasel]

Danke dir 👍🏻

[@alsatch_]

Thanks. I’m looking for a bit more direction in my videos, and story telling I think will help. 👍

[@roamwithken]

I can already tell this is going to be so useful. Thanks Pascal! These were some great tips for a novice such as myself!

[@Engineeringvolgger]

[@pascalbasel]

I appreciate that!

[@benharveyphotography]

Excellent Video Pascal, packed with great advice and I can see how much effort went into the content, graphics and all of the shots - thanks for sharing.

[@pascalbasel]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@ajanlekoko-mariam]

I'm a new subscriber. I enjoy your videos

[@pascalbasel]

Wow, thank you!

[@abby0659]

Great video Pascal!

[@AdrianTwarog]

What’s the software you’re using for script writing that I saw?

[@pascalbasel]

Notion and Milanote, still deciding between both

[@Dolphine43]

Thanks for sharing Pascal :). Great video.

[@ayoubbenjelloul3657]

Excellent explanation and you are very clear about what it has to be done for a good video or film! Thank you!!

[@smqiu7325]

This video is well made . Excellent job!

[@todortodorov4642]

Amazing video, super useful and pleasing to watch 🤩🙏

[@ErrorDebug]

I rarely subscribe when i watch a video for the first time but this video was so good i had to! Keep it up and thank you!

[@pascalbasel]

Thanks and welcome to the channel

[@haihuang7331]

嗨！Pascal Basel 我是来自中国的观看者，我很喜欢你拍摄的视频，也一直在学习如何拍摄和讲故事。欢迎你来中国云南·大理（YunNan DA LI）我们可以一起拍摄这里的风景和故事。

[@BigPhil]

Another great video Pascal. As before amazing content which is very inspirational and fairly 🙃 easy to implement. Nonetheless practice makes everything easier so as you have said - passion, planning and execution! Thanks for sharing tips & tricks. All the best and see you in the next one 👋🏻😄

[@pascalbasel]

Thanks a lot Phil 👍🏻

[@eleele8254]

Really enjoyed this video. Would love to see more about this!

[@pascalbasel]

More to come!

[@SpencerYonce]

Wonderful video man. I really appreciate it.

[@NickLinnen]

Love your content man! Just starting posting videos finally, one of my challenges has been over complicating the storytelling process. I tend to break it into a 5 act structure and worry about every single beat, but reality is KZbin is made for shorter, more casual content so I don't need to worry so much! Just getting content out is solid enough. Thanks for the inspiration man! Keep it up

[@pascalbasel]

Thanks. I wouldn't say that KZbin is generally for shorter content. Every length can work on KZbin. It really depends on the content and how you deliver it. Just cut all the clutter out so that every part of the video is either informative or entertaining.

[@NickLinnen]

@@pascalbasel totally! You’re right there’s any and every type of content on KZbin, and that’s more what I mean. I used to limit myself so much because I was worried about it not being long enough or good enough. It’s more about delivering value or entertainment!

[@imrabeenadeem2]

Hey Pascal, I'm going to Thailand in November 2022 with my mavic 3. This might not be super related to the video but just wanted to ask If you know any good drone insurance company in Thailand so I can apply for the registration? 😊

[@RazerView]

great video, its all about the story

[@TravellingKook]

Super! Thank you ❤

[@svanteandreasson6874]

Great. I love your content and I will definitely have a look at your LWP program. Keep up the good work 💪

[@maciejdabrowski7208]

Thanks for the many tips. It's much easier now :) Please reveal what application you write scripts in. I like the layout :)

[@JAHDFILMS]

This is great!

[@AngelTravelAdventures]

I started a travel vlog and my daughter told me I had to learn how to tell a story. Videos that I found were sometimes vague or hard for me to understand. I am not a left brain type of person so sometimes simple creative concepts give me a headache. In this short video, everything was explained simply where I had an Aha moment.

[@SergioIgnacioRamos]

Thanks for share your passion and knowledge! 👍🤠

[@pascalbasel]

My pleasure Sergio!

[@AreaTeamVlogs]

Hey! Thank you for making this amazing video! You are the best bro and keep it up and never give up! You gained a subscriber!❤

[@torbs_media]

Great video!

Very informative and artistic 👏

[@introvertbuoy]

Much awaited video thnx

[@danield.7821]

Hey Pascal. I am looking forward to buying your LWP package. A few questions in advance: - do you update your videos from time to time? Example: new gear, new techniques etc. - what about LUTs for a Sony A7IV? Can I use LUTs of the Fuji camera or the TANGE LUT pack for my Sony? (I am pretty new into this.. just bought the camera 2 weeks ago - so probably a stupid question for most of the people) - can I use all the techniques with the Sony A7IV Kit lense or do I have to spend thousands of dollars for new lenses? I only look forward to get the Sigma 24-70 f2.8 for an overall lense.. is it good for your video course and your techniques that you are using? - I am not an apple user, so probably I cannot use Final Cut Pro. Are your transitions, techniques, colour grading, LUTs etc also applicable for other programs than Final Cut Pro? Thanks a lot and Gruß aus Österreich :)

[@pascalbasel]

Hi Daniel, yes, I update it from time to time but most of it is completely camera-independent. SO you can use whatever camera you want. Updates are more based on user inout and when I figure out things that are worth sharing. - You can use the TANGE LUTS for any camera (including a7iv) as these are finishing LUTs. The Fuji LUTs are only for Fuji cameras, but you can use FilmConvert to convert a7if SLOG 2&3 to Fuji and then use the LUTs. - The kit lens and the Sigma 24-70 are fine for what I teach, but if you want the super-wide angle look, you would obviously need a wider lens. It's not important for the course however. My recommendation is the Tamron 17-28mm. Very good value for money if you need that look. - The techniques are applicable to other editors but you find at different places in these editors. However, I'm planning to transition to DaVinci Resolve. So sooner or later there will also be an update for this (will likely take around a year tough as I really need to use it a lot to teach about it) Looking forward to see you in the course. Grüße zurück :-)

@@pascalbasel just bought it. Happy to be part of the LWP community now :)

[@NickinNashville]

What do you use for all the graphics and text animation ? I need to know how to add that to my videos

[@pascalbasel]

MotionVFX, Custom Animations and existing effects in DaVinci Resolve.

[@MarcMelissa]

Hi, glücklicherweise bin ich das zweite mal auf deinem Kanal hängengeblieben und nun Follower. Wirklich super Content den du da machst, ich freue mich, mir ab und an die Zeit zu nehmen und vorbei zu schauen. Mal eine andere Frage oder auch ein Videotipp. Deine Animationen sind wirklich wirklich super, ich finde, gerade das veranschaulicht und erklärt sehr viel besser in den Videos. Womit hast du die erstellt und welcher Aufwand steckt dahinter? Vielleicht kannst du auch ein Video mal dazu machen, denn ich finde zwar einzelne Tutorials für Effekte etc. z.B. für Motion aber nie einen etwas detaillierteren Einstieg für solche Animationen. Ggf. auch ein gutes Kursprodukt zum anteasern? Beste Grüße aus Zypern Marc

[@XDarkmage1]

What software do you use to make this kind drawing? At 1:32.. very good video by the way!

[@pascalbasel]

That's this FCP plugin: motionvfx.sjv.io/doNAJW
