I always feel like I owe him some money after watching these things lol
He gives so much great information!

This was the best 22 minutes ever spent on a tutorial! :) Finally a video where EVERYTHING is covered on a professional level. Not only camera stuff, or only sound stuff, or only lighting stuff... Props also for creating a really good looking end result, a level that paying clients can expect from a professional. Awesome job!

I have done over 40 interviews at this point and this is absolutely spot-on and incredibly accurate full of pro tips. Fantastic job guys.

This is brilliant! I' nowhere near the level where I could film an interview that would resemble what you did, but the way you managed to promote your course while teaching something useful to the audience is truly inspiring.

Had no intention of watching for 22 min, but your videos are seriously just that good Parker haha

This couldn't have come at a better time. Just this morning I had a great idea for an interview, which quickly turned into a lot of questions on how to set it up. Thanks a lot for yet another awesome tutorial!

[coachbrian]

This is by far the best education I have received from a youtube video on this subject!

[alexadams]

This is easily the best video on how to shoot an interview on the web. Perfect amount of details without going overboard. Nicely done.

[CinemaSteve]

No joke, you helped me get my job at BYU as a videographer/editor. We’ve been shooting some big stuff, but in my interview we talked shop and a good chunk was stuff I learned from your videos. 🙏🏻

[NataliaGarza]

This is above my level, but I still really enjoyed watching! Right now I still film videos on my phone, but I'm trying to learn more about the technical side of making videos before I upgrade. I want to learn not only what gear would be best for the type of content I create but also how to get the most out of it. Again, I loved watching! I learned a lot! Thank you~!

I've been shooting interviews for years, and never considered "shadow side" for the second cam. Thanks for the great take-away!

[Dreamiversity]

I’ve been shooting video for 15 years and never thought to ask someone to talk about themselves for the sound check. 😂 Great idea, because when you ask them to say something, it’s true, they go “Uhhh... test.” And then I have to ask them to keep talking.

[CecilRae]

This could not have come at a better time for me. I'm literally shooting an interview tomorrow and one of my favorite YouTube film makers drops this on my head 🙏🏾

[sogron]

One of the best tutorials on YouTube hands down.

[princesibanda]

So clear, So sincere. So objective its a breath of fresh air from all the other garbage info channels on whole of Youtube. I mean WOW!

[marksermons]

By far the most informative video I’ve watched in my effort to learn to create quality Q&A videos to help market my law firm. Amazing!

[TheTechVault]

This is the best tutorial on shooting an interview. Great video. Thank you

[jakedickamore]

I just filmed an interview yesterday and this tutorial was absolutely invaluable! Thank you so much for providing such amazing content!

[marcelltoth-naturalflowliv]

Parker I don't know how long ago was when I signed up to a youtube channel but you have truly outstanding content. Professional, to the point without any bs, enjoyable to watch. Really love it! Thanks

[miguelmogollon]

sharing your knowledge makes you not only a generous person but allows the viewer to follow you and be part of your training classes... Great Job
