WOW! Things to learn! Thanks for sharing! Helpful tips!

[tlessclock]

Really good advice that actually touches the fundamentals of film/moving image making! Thank you.

[evanzener-realestate]

I may sign up. Honestly I just bumped into your station but you can tell you are a real teacher and I would trust buying your coarse. Which these days is becoming rare.

You are one of my favorite video/photography channels - Always so informative, great fun to watch, and you've got a great personality. Absolute fave.

[alaciamurray]

Definitely was doing some of this. Applying it!

[jasonrossrealty]

Feeling very uninspired, I watched your video, and it is bringing some new life into how I want to tell a story. Thank you so much!

[Carjackwilder]

Great tips as always! I will definitely be putting these to use! Thanks!

[MarkRowsey]

Great tips! I especially agree that story is King! I'm starting to see more and more videos on Vimeo and YouTube, like travel videos, that have great visuals (and flashy transitions) and look like they took a long time to shoot, but they get boring real quick because there's no story.

[DutchAussieProductions]

Thanks guys. Good basic information this old boy needs. Video is new to me. You have a new subscriber.

[DanceChamberSince]

Thank you so much for your FANTASTIC tips! What advice would you give for shooting (video/photo) a fitness app?

[youthanchorsforchrist]

nice work, as for tips 2-3-4-5, they were all shot on a Tripod which counters tip #1.

6. Clean your sensor (2:11) It’s not as easy to take out in video.

[wayneJohnsPhotographer]

Handy tips guys, On your outdoor scenes, Kenneth's Lav mic volume seems much higher than yours Jay P....

[NicksFort]

The rack focus in the kitchen is MONEY!

[yowastudio]

Why is it that I’ve paid my course since last week and even have received a message related to the password to be sent to me by email in order to have access to downloads but still no email with the password?

2:11, you can easily mute the video in post....

[GoJoGeoffVlogs]

I'm one who did that pretty pic and music thing - ouch! lol

[mauelneos]

Great tips, but it's ironic how many times you missed focus in this "mistake" video ;)

[NarekAvetisyan]

Step one: Don't say the title of your video twice in the first 15 seconds.
