Nicely put. Stories have been around since the beginning of time, despite changing mediums used to tell them.

Love it! Well said Simon. In an age where anyone can pick up a camera, those who can elicit a connection with an audience and build a sense of community will do well ;)

Found your videos a couple of days ago and I've been hardly getting any sleep from watching them all. So inspiring and refreshing to watch!

[BasicFilmmaker]

Precisely Simon. 1. Tell a story, 2. Deliver it to an audience. Repeat 1 and 2. :)

[OfficialTomJ]

The pacing of this video is actually perfect. It's fast but understandable. And the sound design is fantastic. Great video!

[OliverAndFilm]

I don't think it will ever take away the art of creating films, technology cannot replace talent or vast knowledge of film making.

Hi Simon. I'm really into filmmaking and I recently found your channel. I'm getting ready to shoot a short film and I just wanted to let you know that your videos are really helpful and enjoyable. Keep doing what you're doing. You'll be really successful one day.

[marcapparatus]

your progress and videos have taught me so much about storytelling and filming. my journey feels like it's just begun (again). keep up the hard work!

[JacobCrowMains]

If anything I'm excited for the future of filmmaking, we're stepping away from the mainstream conventional blockbuster approach and entering a new generation in which almost anyone can produce content, allowing more room for creative freedom and ultimately valuable original ideas. Of course there is and will continue to be an over saturation of amateur films, however I believe creative / unique concepts will stand out above all else. Really enjoyed this video man, keep up the good work as always

Funny.. the same thing is happening to our photography world. Yes it's true that it is more difficult to convince people that they need a pro photographer, but at the end of the day what really makes the difference is not the light or camera but our knowledge how to capture real emotions.

[ricardosantamarina]

I've been studying filmmaking the last 8 month and your channel is one of the best so far. Keep it up!!

[shinonyt]

I love your videos! Keep up the good work, I'm so hyped because soon I will get my first DSLR and equipment, thank you for everything, you helped me really much with your videos! You're amazing!

[sheepyaidan]

Really interesting video. The pace was great and the little drawings were really useful. Keep up the great work.

The day I win the Oscar, I'll definitely mention your name to thank you as I have learnt a lot from you. Thanks a ton Simon.

I was just having a similar discussion with friends who were fascinated with the emergence of numerous people making sketch comedy with their phones. The medium which we receive/view content will constantly evolve, but the creativity and ability to produce engaging content or stories will always be a deciding factor.

[stevocanuck]

yeah i agree that Content is important too. I think some people just find that it's kind of impressive when they can work the camera, lightings, and the quality of the video .

[Bsaint]

Very true, it often annoys me as well to put so much time and effort into something that is visually appealing when someone shoots something that looks like it was filmed with a toaster and gets 10x the views, attention than that of something well polished and cohesive.  I guess it is just the age we live in and the term "The best camera is the one you have with you" rings ever so true.

[ETsJohnIRL]

Simon, you hit on the one thing that does not change in all creative professions—the idea. All of us who've been around for a while have seen our careers evolve dramatically. But the ability to be original, genuine, and intriguing never changes. Keep  sharing your wisdom.

Just discovered this channel! I love it. I was 17 ten years ago, and I remember the internet wasn't quite fast enough for music and video yet, but I was experimenting with photography, shooting and editing video, animation and graphic design. It's become so much easier and less expensive to "do it yourself" but at the same time, I invested so much time and money hoping I would make a career of it, but now it seems like EVERYONE can do it. I feel like I've already fallen behind and I can't keep up @_@

[Dabrinx]

As a new DSLR user, your videos help me a lot with my footage.
Thanks Simon
