  • @FSUvinny
    @FSUvinny Před 4 lety +1

    As someone who’s been struggling with putting together even the most basic video, mostly out of fear of failure and lack of editing software knowledge, this video really motivated me to get the shots done at least. Then what, start small with an edit? Build up the knowledge of the software and then expand.

    • @DannyGevirtz
      @DannyGevirtz  Před 4 lety

      Yeah man just start my plugging in clips on any software. If you have a Mac start in iMovie

Even didn't know how to use focusing... But it is realy amazing to see myself better than the last year. I can make nice short videos!! THANK YOU!

    Hey man, you really inspire me to make films and be creative.
    I was just finding excuses for not making anything until now. Maybe I was scared that the end product wouldn’t be as nice as I imagine.
    But now I’m definitely going to make a short film (all by myself) this month.
    Thanks for all the amazing videos you upload ❤️

    Really great tips again man! Another good tip I've heard for focusing on yourself is to take the camera off the tripod, stand wherever you're gonna be in the shot, and then focus on the tripod from there. I've tried it out a couple times and it definitely seems to work!
