The reason I like Phlearn is because not only are your videos funny, but you also have skill and vision. I see a lot of videos on here from people who imo suck at photography, you take great pictures and can teach the fundamentals of production to post processing.

I bought this and I love it. I have purchased 3 total. It has been money well spent. Thanks Phlearn

Is it ok to composite photos from a standard lens and a wide angle?

[AKindChap]

How is the effect achieved when a picture moves in a video and the back/foreground are separate (00:12 when the bookcase moves differently)?

I've always wanted to be able to do it but I have no idea how.

[dgreen]

Are these tutorials for beginners still available?

[rogereriksen]

Like your techniques work WELL with Photoshop Elements 11? Thanks.

You're links don't ever work on my Mac. Do you have an alternate link?

[henrylimanto]

by the way, how to make cool straight light?

[tylerjamesthompson]

I have a request that I think a LOT of people would love. Can you do a tutorial, maybe a PRO Tutorial showing us how to get the effect that Elena Shumilova gets? Explaining natural light, subject and post processing? Yeah.. I know that's a lot. She's my inspiration though.

Hi Aaron ! Firstly, congrats your videos are really good and helpful ! I like them so much.
I'd just have a question! Well I'm workin on a project, where i have the same Background but different Pictures and I did some compositing on it, but when i wanna start with a new picture, i have to do almost all the compositing again... is ther another way to save it like a preset ? Or a better way to do it ? I'm working with Lightroom and PS together
I'll be really thankful if you could awnser my question !! Greetings
