Cinematic Video Tutorial

You’re one content creator who actually shows his real life work. Makes it easier to follow and learn all the stuff you teach on this channel. You’re a rare gem among others who seem to pretend to be filmmakers by vlogging all through the video and making less impact.

[StephaanBOSS]

I'm an old man (67). I started only with photography after retirement, five years ago now. Very slowly I'm setting my first steps into trying video. Looking and listening to your videos, makes me regret, I didn't choose to be something else the a project manager and a reliability engineer all my life. What a way to make a living. Great work.

See..this is why i LOVE your content. You don't just talk behind the desk and talk about the technical side of things, you actually show the footage you've shot, the projects you've worked on and how you achieve these results. Your content is freakin' awesome, man, thank you so much for sharing your journey!

[chrisburks]

Straight into the advice with no rambling like some channels really sets you apart. Short but full of information. This is easily the most useful advice for time spent among the YouTube channels. The footage you show also has epic compositions so I feel like I’m actually listening to someone who knows what he’s talking about! I wish more YouTubers would follow this style instead of time wasting!

[BoyBlessing]

Jacques is one of the only filmmakers on youtube that is able to produce a truly cinematic image that matches the quality of hollywood movies. This is why his channel is my favorite. I learn so much from him.

You are so direct, helpful and avoid all the usual stuff you see from some other YouTubers. You clearly do this for the love of it and it comes across. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again; Great content, to the point, no fluff, no pushing gear, just passion and great advice based on your experience. Thanks once again !!

[maxim.horoshilov]

Your honesty, modesty, and professionalism are on another level, mate! Thank you for valuable information!

[cliffsaitotti]

Your honesty and transparency really motivates me, and I've gained a lot from your videos recently, leading me to start my own YouTube channel with 43 subs now. Stay blessed and keep inspiring others.

I’ve been waiting for this ❤ thank you so much 👊

[Francisfphoto_]

This is the ONLY YouTube channel that anybody must subscribe if you want to elevate your filmmaking skills!
I’m new in filmmaking (and I don’t use Sony) and your channel is just what I needed! Thanks!!!

[Slipsch]

I like how you are giving all these for free on YouTube. I used to have a competitive advantage because I know all these at least most of it. But now, everyone can be a pro... Which entice me to improve my art even further!

[bephrem]

a masterclass from a master. knowing your music/edit, intentionality choosing frame rate, a word on drone footage. everything you're saying are things I'm experiencing or working-into just from stumbling around.

[arsenalmob]

I really appreciate the fact that you want to encourage us to ACTUALLY BE BETTER filmmakers and not spend a bunch of money to LOOK LIKE better filmmakers. THANK YOU!

[MaunoKoivistoOfficial]

Great point about how you can get a whole sequence of shots in the time it takes to get just one drone shot. That really is an important consideration when your time with good light is limited.

[TMD_Produktion]

There are not many filmmakers out there, that teach so much valuable knowledge. Thanks a lot for your content. You are GOLD! ✨

[peterlundqvist]

I have watched videos on youtube for many years now and not ones have I thougt to myself "I really need to say something about this video" until now! jacques! I have learned more from this 9 minuttes and 15 second long video than from countless other videos on this subject! I chuckled to myself when you talked about drones as the biggest distraction, I could really relate to that. I thank you good sir for this highly educationall video!

[Squidpaws-]

Brah, you are a master of your craft... Shot for the valuable info that you always provide in your videos. It's been so epic watching your channel grow, and I'm learning so much from you. Thank you... 🙏

[johnadams]

Honestly blown away by the quality advice and knowledge you are dropping!
So happy I found this channel! You’re going to 10x my growth!
Thank you 🙏

[IndoorEcosystem]

I make content that's vastly different to most people's but you have mentioned so many amazing things in this short video.
Some I was already doing out of luck and some I need add to my work.
Picking music first is a super underrated thing I was lucky to be doing first!
Thank you!
