How To Film Epic NATURE B Roll | Behind the Scenes Demonstration!

[@robertl.4675]

So nice to see someone talk about the “craft” of shooting videos and not focus just on the “gear”. Great tips. And you are a great speaker and presenter. Thanks for sharing!

[@all4loveand_love4all]

Couldn't agree more! 👏👏👏

[@ErinSotoPhotography]

Gorgeous. I felt like I was there.

[@lloydcasiple8379]

👏👏👏

[@ItsKeshini]

@Robert L. agree with you! Whenever I watched other videos I would often feel worse than I was before clicking on the video as they made it look like it was because of the gear they used. But here the way he explains and show us about the skill rather than gear made feel so much better. I am new to the channel, this is the second video I watched from Thomas Alex Norman and I am subscribing.

[@RWGeorge]

After watching your videos I feel like I can actually try this. Love how you talk through every step - it really helps!

[@07navneet]

Yes, he explains n demonstrate really well. Much better than other famous KZbinrs. Keep up the good work! It will payoff...

[@ASouthernLadyinAppalachia]

I agree, keep up the good work. Slow and simple with the thought process AND the processed shots helps so much.

[@Monte4Christo]

Yes 🙏

[@sarahthebox]

Teaching is such an overlooked skilled, but it’s amazing how you actually break things down to the smallest most basic details. Something that would come so naturally to you, after doing it for so long, you still manage to put yourself in the shoes of a beginner and lay down the foundation. It’s actually such a difficult thing to do once you become well versed in a skill, so I just wanted to say kudos, you’re amazing at it!

[@abroniewski]

1. Great job giving insight into your thought process and the "why?" 2. Love the picture-in-picture showing what you're capturing as you capture it 3. Super cool to see previews of the final edit as you go Do you shoot everything on 60+ fps so that you can pick and choose what you play in slow motion when you are in edit, or do you make the choice before capturing?

[@tomasr27]

I got the same question as to whether you shoot in 24/60/120 fps?

[@EricsMaineLife]

Another vote for wondering what FPS you shot with. Looks very cinematic!

[@jeffbruer8735]

Include my vote on the frame rate question. I'd guess at minimum that it would be 60 or higher. I've never tried to slow down a video that was taken at 24 fps but it seems like it would come out choppy. I'm learning a lot from Thomas' videos and do appreciate his teachings.

[@PrincessAndJuan]

Can't answer it for sure, but from my perspective I would say that it would be ideal to make the choice before capturing. This way you can take advantage of the 24fps cinematic look. If you shoot everything 60fps, your timeline will have to be 60fps and you will lose the cinematic effect for all shots that are not slowed down. Sounds like a lot of work, doesn't it? It is, haha! That's why we appreciate it.

[@michellewesson4409]

Just happened upon your video and was mesmerized. I have literally watched hundreds of hours of nature photographers explain their craft, and hear them talk about their b roll. To watch you explain, and demonstrate how it’s done is such a wonderful new experience. I love how you connect with nature and make the ordinary extraordinary.

[@elfullin]

These are the kinds of videos we've been looking for. Ladies and gentlemen, we found him...

[@KatySimpsonLive]

The footage is so relaxing, great music choice too and you’re right: I could smell the forest scent and really feel that I was there

Finally a video that teaches proper video technique

[@tomanders329]

This was the most helpful tutorial for filming I have seen on KZbin, others can tend to over-complicate and therefore kind of alienate, but this was super helpful! Thanks

[@tommytvrdy63]

When you made this it looks so simple!

[@choiceblade]

Generally, I do not resort to name calling...but, YOU are a freakin' WIZARD. It's so key to first see the flat, not yet graded "what you saw when you were there" version, because it gives me confidence that all the seeming "crap" I'm shooting, can get magically sorted...one day when I figure out what "post" means, where this mythical land is, and how to get there! Thanks.

[@allenwc]

it is always nice to find someone who does gentle, clear, well articulated instruction. Clearly you know what you are doing, and it shows. Thanks kindly.

[@BowenLeigh]

After watching your few videos, I am really happy to see how you can get cinematic footage without any tools... you are an amazing presenter. Thank you sooooooo very much. Without gimble or with gimble, cinematic shooting is all POSSIBLE.

[@jsjdebets]

I'm new to filming, I used to photograph for many years and that's something completely different. I noticed that you turn incredibly simple things into something beautiful, things that I just didn't notice with these nice tips. Making a movie is not just about pressing "rec" because after a few minutes no one watches the normal movies. I was fascinated by B-roll, shots with beautiful music make a real film. I still have a lot to learn, but the way you convey something in terms of technique and especially "looking" has given me a spark. Thank you for your insight.

[@slimyelow]

What truly beautiful footage. My favorites are: "underexposed little moss hill", "pine branch sun sprinkle" and 'reflections in puddle'. Very inspiring!

[@seankeh]

I constantly find myself coming back to this video, it's so valuable.

[@SGOODLUCK18]

Great Tips and presentation, I come to the right pool. Thanks for helpful video.

[@wanazri7530]

I can't stop myself from holding breath every time you do the slider move. haha

[@Abophoto]

Wow, that is so inspiring to see how it's possible to create something super nice with almost no gear at all. Thanks for sharing your knowledge!

[@Texasphotoguy]

Another great example of creativity without needing high end gear. Would love to see your editing process on this shoot.

[@ashleyfrancis2903]

[@paulappswildlifeart]

I am merely a beginner with a huge appetite to learn. Out of the many videos that I have watched on this type of subject, yours is for me, leaps ahead. I totally enjoyed the clear and concise manner that you delivered the content. Thank you and subbed . Cheers Paul

[@SantertainmentIndonesia]

please make more videos like this. it's really helpful for beginner like me 😆👍

[@coreynoxon]

Really really enjoying these behind the scene style videos. It's incredibly helpful to not only see how you are getting these shots, but also to understand the thought process behind why you are choosing the shots that you're after. Seeing the picture-in-picture view is also great. Shots that seem somewhat average at first end up looking really fantastic when properly edited and placed in context. Thanks so much for sharing!

[@followthetrackswithlihin]

I love love love the way you broke it all down. Its inspirational. Planning a nature shoot for my channel as a newbie and this has helped a ton. Cheers

Thomas, you are BACK!!! This is what it's about. Good quality content, amazing demonstrations and explanations of what you're doing and why. Showing the end result build as you progress is something that's all too often missing. You're demonstrating what can be achieved with minimal equipment. This is very appealing. You've done the travel video academy, you need to do one for more general videography techniques. In my opinion, of all your seriously excellent videos this one has been the most inspiring of all.

[@mensmentorship2740]

+Thomas Alex Norman, sometimes we look at a scene and dismiss it because we can't "see" anything worth filming. You just shattered that mindset and I thank you. Keep at it.

[@gkochanowsky]

[@snells-window]

Thank you this was excellent. I've always concentrated on framing and locking down my b-roll on a tripod, but adding that bit of movement makes the world of difference.

This is the best channel... this is the only valuable skill in cinema... no other skills really matter tbh

[@hikingwiththeshackletons]

Brilliant once again. There are things there I hadn’t thought of. Things like, establishing a scene & focusing on scenery there then moving on to something else. It helps make things so much easier & probably less stressful trying to get footage.
