Met Jacques in real life, what an awesome humble guy . His passion is truly infectious and shines through even more when you meet him.

[schwartzbrothersmedia]

It's insane the amount of valuable information you fit into a 9 minute video, Jacques.

[jlozano]

You can tell Jacques is passionate about his work. Its the relentless attention to detail and the seemingly limitless energy.

Not enough videos out there on psychology / purpose / WHY of camera choices. Great video. Jacques does it again!

[Ashishjohnson]

This is amazing! When everyone talks about complicated gears or editing for film making, Jacques focuses on what is really important. Just by showing how much a simple handheld shot and a gimbal shot could show you two different emotions with the same place, lighting and with the same subject was incredible ❤️ This video is really informative and easy to follow for basically anyone 💯

[gehrrman]

The only filmmaker with heart and lots of love. Thank you.

[AnthonyGugliotta]

This video does an amazing job at verbalizing the things we as videographers and filmmakers do daily, but often don't think about. 100% will be sharing this video with others!

Moments always trump movement, another gem filled video from Jacques. I can't explain how much I learned from this very generous person. Now back to rewatching this again because there is a lot to unpack.

[bbkintanar]

YES. More videos on the subjects of WHEN AND WHY

[gabriel-mckee]

Great explanations, great video; thanks for sharing!

[hugochichava]

Jacques, you're a legend. The way you explain things is completely clear. Thank you. Been a fan of this channel for a while. Keep up the great work.

[matt.banton]

You are a seriously talented man! I’ve watched a bunch of your videos now and I’m blown away buy the quality of your work AND how good theses videos are. So informative. I’ve learnt more from a few of your videos than I have some paid courses. Thank you!

[chrisnigul]

Jacques, in my personal opinion, this is probably the best tutorial you've ever posted. Ive been pretty good when it comes to choosing one over the other but never knew how to explain it to myself in my head lol.

PS. I did not know that South Africa has such incredible landscapes(clip of mountains).

[slemanaljbaee]

I am now on my way to what I dreamed of and when I arrive I will never forget to thank you for helping me...lots of love for your creativity.

[uniworkhorse]

I never really thought of handheld being able to convey emotion more clearly than gimbal footage, but this totally makes sense! I definitely have felt that over-stabilized footage feels much less authentic overall. But, as you said, being able to use stabilization to highlight the subject purely is super helpful.

Loved your differences using the Gimbal and going handheld.. I feel this is the Perfect answer people like me who were looking for the answer.

[WillNGo]

Good video. (No one covered anything like this when I studied film.) Your psychological/dramatic analysis is spot on. What I noticed about the handheld shots in your video is that my brain started to do what our brains do when we're walking around, smoothing the motion. This engages us making what's happening in the shot more real (enhancing the 'willing suspension of disbelief'). The extreme example is when a camera moves right to the edge of a building. (I've hung off mountain ridges, no rope - no problem. Approaching the edge of a building in a movie always scares the pants off me. ) So of course when handheld action became big in the 1990s they sometimes went overboard making it less engaging and just disruptive.

[kenkioqqo]

Every time I watch your tutorials, I feel motivated to keep improving my filming skills. I've learned quite a lot of camera-handling skills from you since discovering your channel a few months ago. So thanks a lot.

[subtextualarchives]

This is the best video on gimbal vs. handheld out there. Thank you very much!

[mediiacompany_]

By far the best video I've seen on this subject! Thank you!!
