[@theshawning]

Dude, I thought I was tripping. I was like, I swear I just saw this video. Thanks for the great content man, keep it up!

[@sobalmedia1694]

[@gabrielhohagen4172]

way better bro, thanks for listening!

[@michaelleon2583]

Yea i say keep up this series I have been waiting for you to drop something like this ever since I saw your last one. Thanks for teaching me a lot because of some of the stuff i learned from your book and through your vids i have started to actually get a constant flow of music video clients.

[@CARTEBLANCHE_MV]

BRO!!!! REAL TALK I'M FINDING MY LOVE FOR VIDEOGRAPHY AGAIN, JUST BY GOING BACK IN TIME AND WATCH YOUR OLDER VIDEO'S.

[@DavidHarveyWV1]

The focal length tip is a good one.

[@pavelvitek766]

Yeah.. But it’s gonna change the look of the picture though

[@Prejippie]

Thanks for sharing even more ways for us to improve our music videos. :)

[@coreepro7759]

Man I appreciate that you are out here giving free game for videographers. Where I’m from people are quicker to hate and not help just because your trying to work in the same field as them. If your not on their level they won’t even collaborate with you on any project. You along with Creative Ryan, They Call Me Cotton and few more people give me something to learn from and build on to assist me in my videography career. I really appreciate your great tips, tricks, and tutorials. Really excited to work on my next project to apply everything you advise.

[@marekwinski8854]

This is by far one of the best advice for music video production I ever have seen! And I watch tones of them :) Great job man!

[@BeGenuineBeYou]

I am new to creating music videos...like extremely new. My first shoot is tonight! Thank you for your tips. I don't have a great camera nor tools or finances to have that extremely nice video quality right now, but I am learning from you. I wish I could be your intern, even if only for a day. I would learn so much and jump light years in knowledge in this field. Thanks for taking the time to show me your work, and making these video tips. I have many mistakes to make, but so many I won't because of you. Thank you, again.

[@vzbeatz1706]

2.8 to 4.0 aperture is definitely the best setting to create depth, im using the fastest dual pixel autofocus outta my 80d even then it struggles at times to keep focus on a moving subject at 1.4

[@KnawledgeBorn]

This is dope, could you do a full tutorial on lighting and lighting positioning as shown in 6:02 ?

[@YuppieTee]

thank you. the last tip was really awesome... I needed that.

[@BryceSaucier]

Love the comments about shallow DOF. I feel like most of us start out shooting all the way open and learn the hard way, seeing this a few years ago probably would have saved me from some gross shots

[@dr5261]

"Young Chris", I'm an up and coming videographer who loves your education-ed videos tricks and tips . I admire your work and your style of teaching. Your content is right on. Keep the videos coming, I need the guidance. Thanks YC

[@hiselectmedia]

That focus tips is worth gold. Salute.

[@Colicchie]

You're a beast player, the videos are always helpful..!!!

[@frankfarinola2429]

Fairly new to music video style cinematography, your videos are a huge help into guiding how to go about the shots that I need capture. Thank you brotha. Stay tuned. a lot music to come 🙏🏻

[@amsedelm]

Nice. I also like to film at a sped up tempo so when you slow it down to regular speed it looks slow mo but in the real tempo. So cool. Great videos.

[@poelogan]

I did not know that more focal length= more depth. Im so happy you said that.

[@hppotclotrluver]

Your voice and vibe is so easy to listen to! Thank you so much for this video! I'm jumping in the deep end with music video shooting and this really helped! Thank you!

[@Jacob-vm9ez]

Your videos on tips have been so helpful I really appreciate all the time and ways your share your ideas and tips God bless you brother keep doing what your doing

[@uggggggggg]

[@Divineshot]

Great tips man! You truly do inspire me! 📽🎬🔥

[@YCImaging]

Divineshot 314 Awesome man, I appreciate it.

[@jstar6125]

Thank you, thank you, and thank you sir! I've learned so much in this video, I take my craft serious and your videos will help make me a better videographer. I don't have money for school and to be honest if I keep getting lessons from you I won't need school to be successful. Just from watching these two videos of yours I learned some things that will make me a better editor and director. I was getting discouraged but you made it exciting again thank you!

[@Kudacash]

I love what you said about lenses... I think the low apeture should serve as a stylistic shot in the video but should always be accompanied with a steady in focus shot... P.S the 50mm shot a 6.0 aperture is amazing Love your work keep it up.

[@jebmaker]

keep building the movement king. you gave some great tips here

[@visualpoet]

Loved this, especially the bit about focal length! I have always been struggling with that.

[@anastasiasongs]

What's the best place to buy little video snippets to include in your music video? I have a lot of footage of me singing in random places, but need to add random butterflies flying and/or people heartbroken. Any advice?

[@ARealNWA]

that last tip was the best piece of advice i could have received thank you!

[@zakkforchilli]

I appreciate the time you took to throw in the details and examples man it makes a world of difference. I'm just starting out, and focus is my enemy for I'm obsessed with the use of this glide cam I bought. Maybe a handheld rig would be better, with an external monitor. Hmm. We will see!

[@MarcosRochaTV]

Can you talk about how you store all the footage you shoot? Do you keep everything?

[@bntm]

Awesome as always

[@Chpimpas]

You’re professional, thank you for being awesome!

[@SanjayC]

Great content and delivery! Perfect!

[@WyattRobertsJr_sing]

what kind of colored film was placed over the lights?

[@Jacob_Roberts]

Thank you for giving concrete examples. This enhances the understanding for new directors.

[@Sputz3]

Dope! I feel what you are saying about the depth of field issue with wild ass rappers! lol them fools be bouncing off the walls and all over the place like Daffy Duck wile your trying to keep them in focus at 1.8!

[@JayJaymizik]

What is the best camera to use for shooting music video?

[@97HawksFly]

To add to what he said about depth of field, it's important think about the distance between your subject and the background. In most of his examples everything is in focus; however, the background is far enough away to create depth regardless of that fact.

[@officialtdotfilmsnc]

Lil Wayne John is of my favorites too!!! It’s amazing how they put it together

[@gopolarisstudio]

Love your channel's vibe, man. Something a little nostalgic about it.

[@RockWilliams]

Truly enjoy your lessons here. Thank you for all you're doing to inspire and bring the tech into it with such ease and simplification. Again, thank you Sir.

[@joekillz]

The John music video was the first video that inspired me to want to shoot Music videos! Thanks for the tips man.

[@Dventura2023]

Thank you for the tips man! Awesome breakdown cuz I'm getting a a7s2 and was thinking of getting the g master Sony 18-105mm. To keep depth and focus on subject and shot. And other lenses for video

[@ratjuice3665]

My filming style is I call it "boatin'", I'm always swayin' like a boat. Gives dope sickness on the screen. Grab yo Dramamine and yo checkbook. $$$$$ time.

[@toppybossradio4518]

[@frankduxx210]

dis helped a lot thank ya

[@MCCABEWORLD]

I like your high quality footage good work! Panasonic G5 is on my way #upgrade

[@kevo2766]

Is there a certain shutter speed to use to make the videos look more natural/normal?

[@andresandy505]

Good video man. Keep doing your thing! Respect.just have one question What monitor do you use on your ronin m?

[@unBecoming1]

I literally study your style as a foundation for my rookie season of music video making. My 2 questions I have are, what rig and display are you holding in your shots and my canon t6i only goes to 60 fps, how do I get smooth slow mo with that?

[@juliankolibaba6382]

Theo Jones Hey if you want Smooth slow motion use the "optical flow " Option in Premiere Pro, which creats frames between the Frames captured by your Camera. Sometimes it messes up but most of the time it works great.

[@unBecoming1]

Much appreciated!

[@ArmageddonAmvZ]

This helped a whole bunch

[@blinkimagefilms7038]

thank you so much for those creative music film insights, learning so much from you.

[@RodieOsc]

Thank you bro ! This week is gonna be my first music vid. but how do you sync the song to the video with different anlges and one camera ? do you record the song several times in different angles?

[@nsabimanaemmanuel5416]

These very good tips for musics video makers like me i will be applying some.Thanks!!

[@leetoocreative]

I’m looking into a MacBook for video editing. I wanted to know if the 16GB is a MUST or can i go with the 8GB ?

[@chasitylondyn]

your content is amazing !

[@brwnlife3782]

Good stuff man. Wish i had you on my video set.

[@warrioressmistress3505]

As a beginner with a low budget at the moment, can i shoot a decent music video using my Samsung Galaxy Camera (Model - EK-GC-100). I know it wont look as professional as those who use bigger camera's. But im hoping i can still make a good music video using a camera like mine until i get a new one. What do you think? Thank you for the tips. Very useful!

[@DaameeyFilms]

greeting from Somalia you are truly inspired thanks bro
