You know what I enjoy about the content in your videos? You give examples of what you don't want to see and you explain it, then you show the right way.. Bam! very thoughtful ..

[@PeterMcKinnon]

+Jim Allen Appreciate the love!

[@Tatt2edBonez]

Jim Allen true

[@griddlemarks6116]

That's so true. makes thing much easier to really understand and be able to visualize it when planing our own videos. Great work Peter, keep it going.

[@SarinaSilva]

I completely agree, it puts everything into perspective and helps those understand visually. I really enjoyed that

[@HaroldsAryanCat]

trump rules

[@coachkojo9383]

1.Lighting (near window) 2. Sounds ( content should match with the mood of the movie) 3.learn your software! 4.motion in Shots (makes more emotion and seems more cinematic 5.Location ( location, angle, clean the background, time of day early in the morning or in the evening sunset)

[@ChairmanChristmas]

I totally agree

[@NathanTen]

What ideas have you had in terms of video making during the lockdown? Ive been trying to do the same but kind of stumped on what to film inside my house Lmao

[@ericnathanguel]

@@NathanTen I've been somewhat fortunate in that my wife is the children's catechist at our church. Every week she needs to film herself teaching and then upload for later viewing by the kids and their parents. The first week of the lock down they used an iphone. After that I was like, "Ok, I'm going to figure this out." Been getting better and better I think. I also have an idea to help out a friend who has a small business selling metal works online.

Good light: soft light close to subject. Good music: edit to the beat, use ambient noise. Shoot for the edit: Know what shots you need for your edit Use motion: More motion = more cinematic shots Good locations and time of day: Use interesting uncluttered background. Early in the morning, late in the evening.

[@AwakenedVibration]

When a youtuber claims how they got rich from x,y,z, and "you can to," Well, it's easy to assess their dress, backdrop, and over space to observe, they're still working on making that wealth with more subscribers and viewers. :) So, you are so right. Mindful of what the audience is viewing in the video is paramount. As a designer, I can look at the interior structure and read apartment, flat, trailer, cheap, high end, luxury, hotel, etc. The space gives it away.
