What people don’t know is this kind of storytelling/interviewing savvy is worth 10x more than any cinematography trick. I can teach anyone to put the lights in a good spot, but getting someone to open up on camera is genuinely tough.

Sometimes there comes a video around on YouTube which might be more helpful than all the videos you saw the last couple of months. THIS one is definitely one of those videos. Thanks for sharing your professional insights. Much appreciated.

I've just decided to try my hand at filming a documentary solo for the first time, and your videos have been a huge help Mark!

I was literally asking myself what kind of questions should I be asking in interviews, and lo and behold you gift a video the next day.

Thanks for all that you do!

Great video thank you for sharing! When you’re interviewing someone do you have the person repeat the questions you ask?

Really interesting. Would have been great for me to see this BEFORE I completed a 13, 000km trek across Canada to do 14 interviews for an upcoming documentary, but great going forward, nonetheless! Hahahahhaa
