How Do You Choose a Video Topic? 5 Boxes to Check.

In this short video I wanted to share some of the things I think about when I design a video topic. How do I focus what we're doing into a topic that works. Thinking about these things ahead of time is really important because it'll make your final product shine.

A big thanks to Dr. Nick Whitney and his team there at Mote Marine Lab. Without their help with the sharks, we couldn't have made it possible.

I also need to thank all our indiegogo supporters, including David Kroll, who inspired me to do a whole series like this.

This is al such great information that so many are reluctant to touch on. thank you for the great videos. It would be cool to see some videos on specifics of shooting in the field with extreme conditions. I will be shooting some mini documentaries in the Peruvian amazon here soon and it would be great to get some tips! Thanks again for such an entertaining youtube channel!

Hi. Where can I find the links to the videos you mentioned @ 5:19? I can't seem to find some of the vids from your video list. Thanks for the content! You guys are awesome!

how is the effect called what you can see at the end?

I would add: can you tell the story in a way that hasn't been done before (ask what are YOU adding to the existing media about this)?
