3 months ago I watched my first tutorial about creating videos, which, by the way was yours. After these 3 months of hard work I can see one of my videos in this tutorial (4:52)... Mind Blowing!!
It shows me that if you have passion and you dedicate yourself 100% to improve your skills, you can achieve whatever you want!
And it's just the beginning :)

I'm taking this to heart. That's why instead of partying on a Saturday night, I'm editing videos for my YouTube channel. I want to build something great, and the only way I'm going to get there is by hustling.

Lately I've been watching tons of videos related to travel videos making, yours are so far the most practical and useful. You always teach about the smallest stuffs that make such a huge impact. I've learnt a lot from your videos :) Keep it up!

Great video! Tip #6: Watch out for poles and branches directly behind your subject's head. It can be really distracting for viewers.

Got answers here to questions I didn't even know I should've asked, you nailed it!

[Preacherski]

Perfect point on deciding what you don’t want in your shot. I been trying to focus more on that for past few days. It’s easy to get tunnel vision and not see rubbish in your shots until you start to edit.

I can feel the need! Most important stability!

[jamesdillon]

Savage video man. Love the part about focusing on what you don’t want in your shot as much as what you do want. Helps you really to focus on what’s important to make those rich shots!

[SoundGates]

Thomas! In your example at 5:25 you are comparing not only the angle but the speed (or fps) which does make a big difference.

[MacBurlTheSecond]

It's a liberating video from the technical jargon and the possibilities of lacking there of my Hero 3 white! It's a matter of cinematic culture!
