How I Shoot Epic Landscape B Roll (Demonstration)

[@IamHopers]

I came expecting nothing, and I got out amazed by the simple, yet, amazing tutorial.

[@ItsMeJoyO]

Guilty of panning 🙋🏻‍♀️ I try to show my audience the entire picture, the way I see it - from left to right, but yeah not cinematic. My takeaway from this vid is to pay attention to details, observe more. Thank you for the tips, very very helpful!

[@AdventuresThings]

The first tip is the one I need to implement way more in my life. Life lessons and film lessons thats why you are the best.

[@joelgonzalez8289]

Hey Thomas...I've been following and practicing all the great tips you've been providing over the years. I echo the other comments in that your style of teaching is very different and more practical for us amateurs to really put use quickly. You've recently done a few videos in the woods for b roll which is a great destination but was hoping you could do a similar video tutorial for b roll in different settings/locations where many also tend go for holiday or vacation. This way can can link these techniques better. Thanks for all the great content!

[@clackersclarke4450]

I second that.. great vid.

[@zenwarriors7]

do you have the gears list ?

[@nic-nurseryrhymes7585]

what is the camera's name. pls

[@lifeisgood5026]

You are a most amazing teacher. Iv'e been a serious still image maker for years. Got into video by accident a few years ago when I became a volunteer at a no-kill animal shelter. Started to do short videos to give the pups at the shelter wider exposure(sorry for the pun) Anyway, this entry into the moving image world has sparked a new passion in me. Have become very comfortable with my GoPro 7. Learning how to shoot powerful cinematic footage with my Iphone 7 plus. Recently came across your KZbin channel. I've viewed a lot of "tutorials" the last 6 months, and I can say without a doubt that yours are at a whole other level from EVERYTHING I've seen. Your humanity and passion come blazing thru the screen.

This video will forever change the way I shoot! It was a true "ah-ha" moment where the light bulb went off in my head. Thank you so much for sharing!

[@visualizen_3684]

Absolutely love these “how to videos”. They’re so helpful and as I’m new to this, I can’t wait to try these tips. I’m hoping you do a “how to” travel video. That would be dope!

[@philtv6836]

Thank you so much Alex for giving us ideas for filming tips.

[@slow.motion.therapy]

I was quite overwhelmed with ideas on what to shoot on my travel trip, even though I still am, this video has certainly helped me be selective about the shots I will be using. Thanks a lot Thomas

[@jncolligan1]

This series of demystifying the mindset of a proper film-maker is a real gift! Do more!!! And Thank you!!

[@summers9218]

First i saw an open boring ocean. After his explanation and vdo i saw a very beautiful ocean kissing the land and natures enjoying and i am observing from the pine trees. That was a great way of telling the saying. you earn my sub.

[@तंत्र]

The exact video, i wanted...... Awesome videos dude.......

[@thebossphvlogs]

Thank you..easy to understand tuts..

[@nathanksimpson]

Wow. I have been doing landscape photography for a while but your philosophy here on how to take a photo/video was amazing.

[@PietsMusings]

Thanks for the tips. The end result is something to strive for.

[@majed556]

I just want to thank you for your time and effort.

[@travelingcouplecarlosandwendy]

Thanks for teaching me how to make a good travel video I have been watching all your videos and really appreciate all your knowledge.

[@groundbreakerexplore]

With this tutorial video my knowledge of shooting great video are upgraded.

[@alfredshearing6793]

Thoroughly enjoying these.

[@Katwumyn]

Great tips and advice, Thomas! I like the suggestion to really observe and think about how you feel, and how you want your audience to feel when they see the video. Thanks for sharing practical and useful information.

[@leroyfong7957]

Wow,thats a steady hand right there

[@markchristopher4165]

Man, this is so good and helpful. Really appreciate it!

[@baharpoya1258]

thanks Alex ! this one was the best tutorial I've ever watched

[@Jadorey]

You ah e the best advice for composition, ideas, story, and your travel videos are brilliant. Thank you for all of your advice. I just do little Videos on my iPhone for fun. But watching your videos have gotten better

[@shabixs]

Alex! You have no idea what you achieved here! Well, you probably do but just wanted to tell u this is one of the best tutorials I've seen. You guided us through the exact process as you were shooting it without drawing the attention to you with all the super-duper cool words and gestures like Keter PcMinnon does but remained focused on the important - the shooting. I learned so much here forcing me to go out and shoot something immediately, which I did too :D I liked the real window view. Thanks a lot, bring up more, please. Cheers.

[@ThomasAlexNorman]

Awesome. Thanks buddy

[@shabixs]

@@ThomasAlexNorman Hey Alex, check this out. My first footage of the kind, made as per your tutorial! Fortunately, I live in a place where the nature is just perfect for it. kzbin.info/www/bejne/rnTFiKesYth5hNE

[@stvmatl]

Agreed 100%

[@subhajitdutta4106]

Thomas your tutorials are just awesome...and you are an outstanding observer....😀

[@JunaidKureshi]

I guess you are the only one who is teaching us how to shoot in a field, thanks man great tutorials

[@mfreeman313]

Hate to just echo everyone but this was an excellent demonstration of collecting your raw materials and showing how they work together as the finished product. You're showing how the camera sees things versus a person's eyes and brain. That's huge, in photography. And no faffing around, as you folks say over there. : ) No crazy speed-ramping or editing tricks. Just the fundamentals, made to work. I appreciate the craft in that razzle-dazzle stuff, but this is where the art happens. Liked and subbed.

[@didibryan]

Anyone else here doing what you're not supposed to do? Haha we're definitely guilty of both point & shoot and panning The observe tip is very useful! I tried it today and found myself filming a couple shots I probably would not have filmed normally

[@imnotsurehowmynamewaschanged]

I've learned so much from you in 10 mins.. thank you! 😊

[@yazminjazelle8142]

Loved this video. I definitely learned a few new things!

[@OwenVentures]

Thank you for all these amazing tips! I love that you actually SHOW US how TO and NOT TO do things! I'm definitely a visual learner and this helps so much! I've added almost all of these types of videos to my watch later list! 😆

[@fikr-hor7]

Thanks for sharing with us these important details... 🙏

[@alexandriaanderson4442]

Thank you so much! I’ve started shooting video on hikes then piecing together into Instagram reels and haven’t known what to do besides slow pans of landscape and waves. This will help me capture much deeper feelings and experiences to share!

[@depaseoconsteven]

Excellent video. This is so nice for us beginners. The way you show us everything from what you see, what you want the audience to see and feel is so perfect. I want to keep learning.

[@CynthiaPakorn]

You are my favorite mentor so far

[@BrianTheCameraGuy]

Thank you Thomas. I love these videos. I learn so much from this style of tutorial. Look forward to the next one.

[@vimalasasana1765]

Love this clip. Thank you. Cheers! Very informative and helpful.

[@machajohn]

Ah nice one man. That whole creating-depth-with-things-the-foreground bit is something I don't think I've consciously thought about and there are def some moments where I could have definitely improved my epic viewpoint shots

[@machajohn]

My mind immediately jumped to some cliff views I has years ago and also got me thinking about some cliff views for a trip I have soon. Super helpful dude

[@ThomasAlexNorman]

@@machajohn Nice man!

[@FrostyHiker]

I have learned so much from watching your videos. I've been practicing your techniques for my upcoming Appalachian Trail thru-hike, and adapting them to my own style. Thank you for helping me make my videos less boring!

[@touchedbynature5445]

Many thanks for sharing Brilliant video. Very helpful and informative.

[@sundavachannel56]

[@Some1-2Love]

[@greg-time]

I absolutley love these step by step videos. I shoot everything on my phone (Note 9). Technique often trumps equipment. Thank you for your thoughtful instruction :)

[@puppydog3535]

Love these types of videos! I sometimes make the mistakes and sometimes use the tips you said. But it is great to watch this video, really clearly explains it all!

[@brijeeshps608]

Excellent work Good tutorial .. Helpful for beginners like me .. Thank you very much

[@캠핑탐구생활]

I enjoyed watching your video. Have a nice day.

[@kevin-lu]

Love these videos you're making recently showing your creative steps!

[@skinwalker_]

I was more anxious about you staying on the cliff and not in the waves. Really helpful video thanks!

[@lalitvlogs7965]

Thank you Thomas for sharing as well teaching such nice B Roll Skills to us😊 ❤from India🇮🇳

[@schoeferfilm]

This is so true 👍🏻 🎥 best regards from germany

[@TravelaaniBarachKaahi]

Gr8 work...you sound like Arjun Rampal....indian actor

Thank you for the tutorial, really appreciate the hands-on examples!

[@4WLEX]

Your videos are always simple and usefu! Thanks for sharing it!

[@ashleyfrancis2903]

What strikes me is how small your movements are. As a total beginner this has been really key to me, because I imagine my movements being large and lacking grace!

[@omarkhayyam8947]

really enjoyed the video. I have seen only few videos but your videos are honestly superb

[@ulilstarhill1246]

Thanks mr Thomas Being knowladge for me

[@ipso_jure]

Great video, as usual. Thanks, Alex. I hope your videos will help me shot good travel video in GOA in April.

[@adventurecoalition3690]

Love the tips, appreciate the time and effort you give to helping us out. That end footage is so cool, thx for inspiring and sharing 🙏

[@BackcountryTripper]

Hi Thomas, I love how you teach , you really explain it well, I would say your one of the best! I love the nature filming it helps me film for my channel. Here are some ideas for you. - Filming B roll for hiking - Filming B roll for canoing Just some ideas. Cheers, Dave.

[@byaherongwais]

iam quite enough.. but i like all ur tips.. simple yet great.. hope i can do it all

[@jshaw6600]

Very informative. Question: Should all landscape videos be in slow motion? What are the "rules" behind slow-motion for that , so as not to overdo it?

[@mariaanastacia1987]

Wow its amazing...thanks for sharing

[@BOBDYLAN-vk2mt]

Great tutorial,thank you so much for this tips. gonna use it on my next upload

[@tracyandcierra]

That was epic 🔥

[@megansadventures6397]

omg wow they look amazing I cant wait to get out soon with the camera and try some of these shots. Thank you for making these videos as they are so helpful and look amazing and hopefully i can save up enough money to buy a new good camera .

[@sabugdalantx]

Hi Thomas I love this demo, could you do one with a Smart Phone, same location?

[@runningwithaj]

Thanks for that. I found the suggestions really practical to attempt to implement.

[@manueladurson701]

Great tips! Why do you always pan from left to right? Why not mix it up and pan from right to left?

[@pawansubedi7807]

this video is really awesome , much more love from Nepal

[@akashbdj]

Hey Thomas! Thank you so much for the wonderful video. Learned a lot. Could you please share the name of the song you've used in this video? Thank you

[@Teresh]

Thank you so much for this this! 🙏🏻 Your tutorials are so helpful! ☺️

[@rahulrocks03]

I have been an avid follower of your videos. I must say you are my teacher as I try to emulate what you teach. I do have a suggestion. It would be great if you could show your editing process. That will be like a complete guide which can help people like us create something.

[@ThomasAlexNorman]

Thanks for the suggestion Rahul :)

[@harolddasynth795]

@@ThomasAlexNorman Hi Thomas,i am a beginenr videographer and i have been following you since the last 2 yrs and i am learnign a lot from your tips,one question though,are you using manual focus on these shots?lets say when you shoot a reveal shot coming from the tree,do you pre-focus on the background?thanks a lot

[@taimojoots]

Wow! Really glad I stumbled on your channel! I was under the impression that you can achieve shots like that only with gimbals and tripods etc. Your B roll tutorials are real eye-openers for me.

[@sabugdalantx]

Just subscribe, man your amazing teacher and mentor! Cheers and best wishes!

[@RealtorMarv]

Your movements so smooth. Nice

[@okaksang1111]

Wow Tom. You r such an inspiration.

[@jasonclift7253]

Loved this one too - you asked for ideas and you probably have done it, but with all the gopros out there maybe help with that. On that note, would you stay more with linear or wide view while filing on a gopro? Or a mix of both? - Thanks!

[@TravelingwithKristin]

Nice one, Thomas!

[@ThomasAlexNorman]

Thanks Kristin. Hope you're well!
