as a solo shooter who edit his own videos i can say without a doubt that Mr Basel put a lot of work and effort to make this, and i mean a lot, this is not a simple video to make. thank you for your work and dedication wish you all the best.

I want to appreciate all of your efforts and the time that you put into making this guide. I had watched other beginners' guides in the past, and I admit that none of them are as thorough as yours. Neither come close to your guide. Even though I knew all of these info, I still watched it to see if I pick up one or two things here and there because all of your videos are creative and bring extra value to the YT community, and this video is no exception. The guide was well put together and complete with so much helpful and useful info for every person in the field. People should not overlook this video, neither take it for granted. This is the result of many years of experience and so much time building his craft. Great job, Pascal! -Wilfredo

Hey Pascal, just recently discovered your channel and you are such a gem!! Your videos are super helpful and they have definitely made it easier for me (and less terrifying) to pick up my own camera and get going! Thank you so much! Keep up the great work!👍🙌

[Ollierastall]

An insane amount of work has gone into this video. The content is invaluable, the script, the shots, the edit... This feels like a University degree module in one 45 minute video. Thanks, Pascal!

I have to say, this is the best video for Videography basics I've ever seen. Really amazing work

[markusgalli]

Awesome video for every beginner out there. Haven't seen such a in-depth guide on YouTube that comes close to this!

[NathenDanforth]

This is an outstanding video. So very helpful for a new videographer coming from the photography world. If your free content is this good I can only imagine how good the paid courses are. That bundle is looking very tempting. I'd tip more but I'm saving for one of your courses!

Holy boring as heck at the same time very important and very good, thank you Pascal.

[davidlevinson]

Wow, that was great! I will need to watch again about 20 times to understand everything. I liked and subscribed!

[katiereframed]

This is exactly the video I was looking for. So so helpful. Thank you!

[Durio_zibethinus]

I don't shoot video for a long time so my understanding is a bit out of date. Thanks for this detailed video, the dynamic range is astonishing, your voice is clear and the color is comfortable to look at.

Hi Pascal, great video you have here. I've been shooting since the days of film so this information was a fun review and I like how you presented it. However there is one correction I need to make. At 17:56 you called 'A' or Aperture Priority mode "automatic mode". It is not fully automatic like it was presented. That would be 'P' or Program mode. You likely already understand this but for those that are unaware:
Aperture Priority (A) mode is where you manually control the aperture and the camera tries to compensate for that setting by automatically adjusting the shutter speed.
Shutter Priority (S) mode is the opposite of that, meaning that you manually set the shutter speed and the camera attempts to compensate the exposure using the aperture.
'A' and 'S' modes I guess could be termed semi-automatic
Program (P) mode (sometimes also presented as AUTO) is the one that controls both shutter and aperture and is fully automatic.
Manual (M) mode as indicated allows one to control both aperture and shutter speed without regard to exposure
Hope this helps folks!

Great video for beginner brushing-up! Thank you!

[GabrielsUniverse]

I really appreciate this. It seems like most YouTubers are allergic to long videos because they only care about clicks.

[venkatalgramam]

I have been a stills shooter for nearly 3 decades now & always wanted to shoot videos - but with all the technical Jargon in video could never really do it . This is by far the best video i have seen on videography - like a 101 - Kudos - Superb . Mr Basel - wonderful effort very very well compiled - Many thanks
