I was crazy impressed with last week's sequence, and these tips are just what I needed to give my content that extra boost! I'd love a video on how you come up with these different shots, like what your storyboarding process is. The 2 wide, medium, and close up idea was super helpful!

[johnslater]

On wide, locked off shots, sometimes you can lose the ND and stop down the lens a bit for greater depth of field. Not every shot calls for tons of bokeh. A bit less blurry background can be the right trade off to be in focus more of the time when moving toward or away from the camera.

You’re funny! And I’m going to play this for my sixth graders tomorrow. (I teach video production to middle schoolers).

Very useful video! If anyone has the budget for it, I really reccomend getting a gimbal with a remote control as well. I bought a manfrotto gimbal and I've been experimenting with walking shots while I'm turning the camera with the manfrotto app on my phone to create movement... works surprisingly well :)

Great tips Joris! Getting more shots than you need really helps. Nothing sucks more than starting an edit and realizing you have to do reshoots. 😱

You are hilarious! I enjoy your videos!

Thank you. Tip #2 was helpful. All of it was helpful. I like the idea of hanging a camera upsidedown perhaps on a monopod while riding or walking. Yes, to editing being separate once I have a lot of quality b-roll.

As a small youtube channel, i can only do self filming and i realized that its actually forced me to get more creative with my angles and shots and its also quite fun haha

[denmarksoul]

Wow! You're killing these videos! Wait 🤔 You're doing an amazing job! Is that better? 🤔 I will definitely apply these tips. Thanks, Joris!

[MaiElizabeth]

Hahaha the close up shot of the paddling, I knee it

[HerbertTOutdoors]

Superb advice, one of your tips helped a lot because I have been racking my brain to film walking and get it smooth.

[joshjayfilms]

Great tips Joris! The tripod tip is awesome, I find myself always having to film by myself, to the point where I've started making it a challenge to shoot a movie without anyone else and I it can be difficult to make the shots more dynamic than just sitting the camera on the sticks.

[TriniWeekes]

[dreamateliers]
