So nice to see someone talk about the “craft” of shooting videos and not focus just on the “gear”. Great tips. And you are a great speaker and presenter. Thanks for sharing!

After watching your videos I feel like I can actually try this. Love how you talk through every step - it really helps!

Teaching is such an overlooked skilled, but it’s amazing how you actually break things down to the smallest most basic details. Something that would come so naturally to you, after doing it for so long, you still manage to put yourself in the shoes of a beginner and lay down the foundation. It’s actually such a difficult thing to do once you become well versed in a skill, so I just wanted to say kudos, you’re amazing at it!

Just happened upon your video and was mesmerized. I have literally watched hundreds of hours of nature photographers explain their craft, and hear them talk about their b roll. To watch you explain, and demonstrate how it’s done is such a wonderful new experience. I love how you connect with nature and make the ordinary extraordinary.

1. Great job giving insight into your thought process and the "why?"
2. Love the picture-in-picture showing what you're capturing as you capture it
3. Super cool to see previews of the final edit as you go

Do you shoot everything on 60+ fps so that you can pick and choose what you play in slow motion when you are in edit, or do you make the choice before capturing?

Finally a video that teaches proper video technique

The footage is so relaxing, great music choice too and you’re right: I could smell the forest scent and really feel that I was there

I can't stop myself from holding breath every time you do the slider move. haha

This was the most helpful tutorial for filming I have seen on YouTube, others can tend to over-complicate and therefore kind of alienate, but this was super helpful! Thanks

These are the kinds of videos we've been looking for.
Ladies and gentlemen, we found him...

What truly beautiful footage. My favorites are: "underexposed little moss hill", "pine branch sun sprinkle" and 'reflections in puddle'. Very inspiring!

I'm new to filming, I used to photograph for many years and that's something completely different.
I noticed that you turn incredibly simple things into something beautiful, things that I just didn't notice with these nice tips.
Making a movie is not just about pressing "rec" because after a few minutes no one watches the normal movies. I was fascinated by B-roll, shots with beautiful music make a real film.
I still have a lot to learn, but the way you convey something in terms of technique and especially "looking" has given me a spark.
Thank you for your insight.

I constantly find myself coming back to this video, it's so valuable.

[allenwc]

it is always nice to find someone who does gentle, clear, well articulated instruction. Clearly you know what you are doing, and it shows. Thanks kindly.

I'm completely new to videographer. Stumbled across your video and am incredibly grateful for this super helpful lesson! 🙏🏻

After watching your few videos, I am really happy to see how you can get cinematic footage without any tools... you are an amazing presenter. Thank you very much. Without gimble or with gimble, cinematic shooting is all POSSIBLE.

I am merely a beginner with a huge appetite to learn. Out of the many videos that I have watched on this type of subject, yours is for me, leaps ahead. I totally enjoyed the clear and concise manner that you delivered the content. Thank you and subbed . Cheers Paul

Great Tips and presentation, I come to the right pool. Thanks for helpful video.

[johnhurn]

I watched this whilst having my lunch at my desk, instantly transported in to a world of relaxation. Roll on the weekend when I can get out in to the woods and give these techniques a go. Thank you 👍

Most intuitive video on crafting b-roll that I've seen yet, all without the use of some massively expensive camera. Thanks for the awesome tutorial!
