Creating a Cinematic Hiking Video | BTS Demonstration + 5 Tips

[@greg-time]

You're a natural teacher. You take the art of filming, and break it down into simple steps that anyone can follow. I really enjoy the way you present. Thanks for your efforts :)

[@chilledrob]

Greg Renstrom Ha! Ha! KZbin is suggesting the same videos to us. 😜

[@greg-time]

@@chilledrob YT must know that "great minds think a like" lol. I do like Thomas Alex Norman's teaching style. Hey, I'm excited to watch your next vid :)

[@FitByTravel]

I absolutely agree with you here Greg, 100% 🙏 I spent a while messing around with camera/video stuff but I don't think I truly had my "light-bulb moment" until I watched a few of the videos Thomas put out ... And it was all down to it being broken into simple steps with "before" and "afters" 😲

[@greg-time]

@@FitByTravel Well said! For some reason, the simple approach really appeals to me. I've done all my filming on my smartphone. For me, it's so simple. Thanks for your comment :)

[@FitByTravel]

A great example of how simple can absolutely be best! Very welcome Greg, all the best in your filming adventure 😁🤞🙏

[@kaustubhpujari]

Appreciate Thomas the way you have simplified the art of making Hiking travel videos. No Fluff, straight to the point. A big Thumbs up & High Five.

[@midlifeholidays]

Hello i am from India and your video is amazing for me. .... Really u are great person ❤️

[@razziramadan8133]

you are my newest teacher..in my opinion you have shown something very creative in producing videos without having to spend a lot of capital to buy all the equipment..thank you ..

[@jncolligan1]

Please create a patron so we can thank you for this! Or a way to PayPal you for it. You continue to demystify this for me. Finally starting to get it. You’re basically showing us how to ‘express our own experience’ with the film-making craft. And you show in detail how you translate emotional personal experience with film-craft. Don’t ever take for granted how much you know and already forgot. That’s what I love that you seem to do. You remember all the noob stuff and bring it in for comparisons with the why it’s a noob behavior. Keep it up!

[@jncolligan1]

Actually, figured it out... gotta go through your gear list offer! Had my own gear so never thought of going that route. Thanks.

[@DevinGonzales]

Wish I saw this last week. I did an overnight hike and was very disappointed in my crop of videos. I think I’ll keep watching. Thanks!

[@ConstantineSPhotography]

I like how natural and humorous you appear in the video. Thanks for the tips. I'd definitely want to try them in my next hiking.

[@TheMagicCrafter]

Great video! Loved the touch of humor here and there 🖤 Would love to try these tips... but alas, we still have sheets of icy snow all over. It isn't easy filming when your feet can't stay put 😂

[@BrianTheCameraGuy]

Thank you Thonas Alex, I really love these Behind the Scenes videos. I am excited for the weather to be warming up to get out and try some of these techniques.

[@WanderLustMike]

Perfect timing! Our next KZbin video will include hiking through national parks! 🤩💛💚💙💜❤🧡

Thanks Thomas. Everything I know I have learnt from you and the academy. Highly recommend everyone to take the course. Finally started making episodes on my own channel beyond the original ones you have seen of Archimarathon Spain+Portugal. Keep up these great videos. I share these with my friends. I do miss the Facebook group. Cheers.

[@megansadventures6397]

Thank you man. This is exactly the type of thing my channel is all about. Can't wait to put these tips into action next time I am out.

[@richmatlock2396]

Thomas, excellent video. Loving these BTS teaching, and with the screen in screen... bonus. Thanks brother. Very good use of SFX, the steps, the feel of the tree, birds, breeze through the branches and the surf.... nothing was to loud, just enough to know it's there. I've seen some b-roll that the SFX's are far to loud.

[@debbarmasimon]

Your humor is on point, so are your video's!!! 😀 Thank Youuu

[@soleventures2764]

Another great video thanks Thomas!

[@Ohhhj0]

[@halohalohikers3571]

Hiking cinematography is literally the hardest lol. There is usually harsh lighting, unstable footing, it makes for shaky video. Bugs, weather, snakes, etc.... thanks for the tips I will use them!

[@princesdoreen]

Thank you for this!! Amazing! Im learning!

[@early_friday]

Thanks for the tips! Your BTS with screen on screen is a great help to how we could make such a cool cinematic B-Roll for beginners like me. I would definetely try and apply it in my next video..

[@CoffeeandReady]

Been using some of these tips already.... but definitely will use more of these tips on my furture hikes. Thank you.

[@isaiahramirez5481]

This had got me inspired to bring out my GoPro again! Great videos man, and also nice soundtrack in the back. You really know how to give instruction but show clear examples so there’s no confusion even in the thinking process of making them. :)
