    Thanks for not being just another lut-pack selling, self-aggrandizing, gear-flaunting, conflating-vlogs-with-filmmaking type of CZcamsr.

  • @Sstrandskov
    @Sstrandskov Před 4 lety +215

    Please keep staying at the subjects that u are banging at. Don't be another "CZcamsr" who just want to sell other peoples products.
    Your words and knowledge is so valuable for small filmmakers like myself.

      Simon Strandskov i hear you, I never want to become another creator just pushing gear. That said, in order to afford the time away from my filmmaking that these CZcams videos require there is a need to make some sort of income from them or else there isn’t a business model and I cannot sustain this channel.

Thanks for this great video. Your kids are great 👍

    This is the content that I really want to see! Other guys are just zooming around on one wheels and trying to make me buy stuff. Their films don't have any substance. They don't really mean anything, to me, but your content is about how to make engaging films that evoke true emotional response. Thanks for that man! Keep up the amazing work!

  • @ASDPOWER

    I can text or look up something else during most videos about camera gear an so on. But your videos are so packed with new information, that when I (sadly) instinctively check my mobile, I have to rewind or pause.
    What I want to say is, that your content is so interesting and I am looking forward to watching your next video

    It’s hilarious when you do the examples of the fast/disorienting transitions 🤣👍 I started wanting to do more “trendy” transitions and ended up working more on “in camera” transitions. I feel like that’s a better trick to learn than just snipping up footage and confusing the viewer haha

  • @tomttl
    @tomttl Před 4 lety +1

    I do agree with you. Sometimes you just get incredible shots but no content and after a while it just gets boring. I will study carefully these tips for an upcoming aftermovie video a client asked me.. and I feel that just a series of nice shots that just show what happened during the event is not enough. I need to bring some of the story back even tho is just 1 minute video. Great job, keep it up man

I'm just trying to make films to fit with my original music for my channel but it's amazing how relevant your filmmaking tips are for that. Working in scenes, not shots - so true. It's same in songwriting - you can't just write bars, you have to write songs. Think not just small details but also the bigger structure. Thanks for the tips and your footage looks beautiful also
