Diggin this video style and BTS cutaways!

It's an excellent video! Thanks! Most YouTube channels try to explain only verbally or by showing pictures, but in order to understand cinematography, it is necessary to convey field experience because this is a dynamic work. StudioBinder is a great channel in this regard, but even they can't do what you do. I think this is a very, very important thing.

Great tips and yeah, can definitely second your tip about looking the part. As someone whose been on the client side of productions for a while, it go south fast when people start pulling out wacky contraptions.
