Look at Aputure (lighting/DP pov), Indy Mogul (lighting/camop/DP pov) and This Guy Edits (editing/story). You can have a combination of all aspects of film making from online learning. Something REQUIRED to tackle if you want to be a successful director (not my aim). I am trying to find more "camop" channel of this calibre that teaches the way to use the camera better. Studiobinder is kind of halfway there but they are more so about the story, directing aspect and conveying emotions.

[@lionel.mukendi]

It's so neat to actually get a window into the psychology of shots. I've found myself switching between these, instinctively, based off references from movies I've enjoyed, so, this was a really cool explanation of why some shots should be used over others.

These videos are amazing and tremendously educational. Every time, I start watching your videos I can't wait to share them in class with my HS students. Unfortunately, this is like the 4th or 5th video where superior content becomes non-shareable when the inevitable and unnecessary one-off F*Bomb drops. I don't want to censor you guys but I also can't show this in class or post in a slideshow for viewing at home. If you are looking to expand your viewership I would recommend dropping the cursing. While plenty of profanity occurs in films, I see no need to have it in a video about film-making unless you were discussing writing.

This channel is an Encyclopedia of applied knowledge on film making to simply appreciating the medium of Cinema. I believe, cinema being the latest form of Art, the language of cinema gives an artist the best circumstances expressing his creativity. It has the most potential for experimentation still left to explore. And to do that, this channel acts like a treasure trove for learning the basics of film making and looking at things from different perspective. I was reading Hitchcock/Truffaut, and from there I read about his use of long takes in the movie Rope. To further extend my knowledge I landed on this channel. Since then, I've been watching one after another video while taking notes. I do dream of making a film one day and I make films in my dreams.... Thank you so much for enriching that dream.
