How to Start your Content Strategy for Beginners (Just Start Shooting)
Ok I’m trying to keep this as constructive as possible. You set out to do a “how to” and in reality succeeded in producing a how not to. This did not work for me at any level. First your title, “Top 5 Skills to Make Better Videos in 2025”. It was nice, eye catching, dynamic, it worked well enough to make me click on the video. Then it went downhill. I was expecting at least a relatively smooth and clear “this guy knows what he is on about video”. And five nice clean concise skills outlined. So what did you deliver, well,,,,,, You kind of had the rule of thirds in your head but your explanation was dire to say the least. White balance, ‘F’ stops, ‘iso’ settings flashed across in a matter of seconds with no real explanation of what they were, something that could and maybe should take a serious chunk of time to explain and you managed to waffle over it in a few seconds (while giving no real clear information). All the while spending more time on explaining your really poor concept on back lighting/mood lighting, which incidentally did not work as the colour changing was more of a distraction than anything else, it was harsh jarring and contrived, and not at all easy on the eye. Lower light setting and softer more subtle colours, slower smoother changes. Instead I am watching a “bear with me folks I’m new to this” ‘this guy does not really know what he is talking about’ sort of thing. I lasted 1.52 secs of a 15.31sec video that should actually tell you this did not work. Take it down and do it again is the best advice I can give on this effort.
I mentioned the skills to know (true to the title) not how to fully master or completely understand. I go more in depth in my text based email course I mention in the video. Regardless, Thanks for your feedback. Agreed that this was a scrappy video and other than the outline of the skills, everything else is improvised and unscripted. I think the five skills are correct in that they are the things you should know to shoot video: 1-composition (framing, camera settings, set) 2- Lighting (soft light not hard or harsh) 3- Sound ( capture between -18 and -6 decibels and do a sound test to ensure this at your softest and loudest speaking levels) 4- messaging (what you say) 5- put your heart and soul into this / be authentic These are not false truths about video though the 5th one is open to personal interpretation. I like a little glow from the corner lights but perhaps they aren't for everyone or perhaps too jarring. Tho how-to videos aren't my natural niche, I banged one out and still remember who I am at heart. This content creation thing is just another way to come to know the self. Cheers🎉
@@bradycsnow Thanks for the reply Brady. I’m not claiming that you did not follow through on presenting your “5 skills” (I did not watch for long enough to be able to comment on that) I am saying that from my perspective they were not delivered well enough to keep me engaged, which I understand is obviously just my opinion. To put you in the picture I am currently looking at compiling some videos myself which is why I clicked on yours, to see if you could add anything else to my knowledge collecting. Your title caught my eye as it came across as quite authorative but when the vid started the content came across as anything but. I understand that your perception of what you think you have delivered will be different to my perception as the viewer or recipient of the vid. But as a viewer/listener of your video, as mentioned before I found it to be somewhat ‘muddy’ where the information was concerned and not the most pleasant experience where the visuals are concerned. The monitor on top of the dresser/display unit with the waves, at 1.44 suddenly changes to shopify and other things completely unrelated to your video content, which was somewhat disconcerting. The lighting on you as the subject was quite harsh, casting lots of shadow on you when you moved your hands around. The lighting behind the furniture is too strong and casts its own shadows (behind the bookshelf not a good look) and they flicker and change. None of this helps the feel of the video. I wish you all the best in your endeavours, but doubt I will be back.
No need to return my friend I am simply not for you. All valid points and I am still determining my niche. Maybe you'll see one of my other videos on a different subject someday.
Just learned that YT shorts can be up to 3 minutes long now... Was a bit concerned when noticed some of my videos disappeared... What do you think of the change?
I haven't been making many shorts lately for UA-cam primarily because my vertical vids were over the previous length requirement of a minute. I wonder why some videos disappeared. That's odd. I think the change is a good call. If people need more than a minute to communicate vertically give em some extra time
GOOD TO SEE YOU HOMIE!
I don't know who this is but thanks for checking out the vid
Not only do you have to make it, You also got to schedule it and come up with descriptions and hope that tiktok doesnt stop showing your videos and give you 0 views for some reason...
It's better to use social media to share some other creation rather than have the social media piece be the only creation.
Love this video & message. Awesome location.
Glad you enjoyed it!

Great message. Accept our mistakes and imperfections. I join you today in being less hard on myself. And no better place to do that, than up in the mountains. I like these outdoor vlogs
Thanks, yea just because we're imperfect and make mistakes doesn't mean we have zero value to share in our story and experiences. Thanks I've got some office / home studio based videos to make coming up but I'll try and incorporate some outdoor scenes as b roll and keep making the outdoor vlogs in addition to some tutorial videos I'm planning on home video production
First view, first comment.
Thanks for being the first!
This is an important video thank you
Thanks for watching!
This is pretty good video about making pretty good videos.
All you need to know is the basics of video production and then if you can follow your instincts and be yourself anyone can make a pretty decent video😂

Teach me your ways! I Love the intro! I need to start doing that! What kind of camera do you use?
Thanks Ty haha I've wanted to show a little bit of the realism of video production since the reality is never the perfectly curated selection of best clips that video projects itself to be. I use a Sony A7siii and for outdoor scenes in bright light I use a Peter McKinnon ND filter. I have a customized picture profile that does most the color grading for me in camera. Couldn't be happier with how most the shots turn out when lit well! For ways I think everyone has their own unique presentation style and it's just a matter of experimenting and processing the right feedback to find yours. In a nutshell follow what feels most natural to you. I'll also add that brief little glimpses into your authentic behavior such as inserts of bloopers or natural reactions into the main video make a massive boost in engagement and trust. Everything else is just a perfectly scripted video? No these creators are imperfect beings like the rest of us. Also I'll say a little bit of humor and glimpses into the real life of the creator go a long ways too! For simplifying the technical side of video and ensuring you deliver a purposeful message I made a free email course on it. Check it out here if that sounds interesting to you: weststormstudio.com/resources
🎉🎉🎉
Thank you for this 😢
I looooove these campfire talks. It makes me want a campfire talks podcast. I hope to speak as clearly as you someday!!
Thanks! Gotta get them in before there's a fire ban in Colorado! I have been chewing on my own podcast for awhile. Fire talk podcasts would be fun. At least someone thinks I speak clearly! Thank you. I often feel I'm all over the place but have been working on avoiding my side tangents or if I delve into them bringing it back to the subject I was on quickly haha
I got some value in this! One thing I've learned is that the is no one right path to a destination... If you're looking for a destination at all... 😏
The journey is the destination! The best paths are the ones you forge yourself.
Dude this is equally hilarious and informative
Haha thanks. Wasn't sure a blend of comedy and edutainment had a place in the algorithms but went for it anyway 😂
Also glad the informative part came across haha
OH NO!! That poor duck!! I LOVED it, Brady. I’m going camping this weekend!! It’s so nice to watch another creator on this journey trying to find their purpose. This helped me feel less alone. ☺️
Yes I made sure to honor the baby duck and wish its soul well on its journey. Then I told my dog "get it!" Because she had to eat her kill to honor it. May baby duckie's brothers and sisters grow up and live their best duck lives! Glad you feel less alone! That's what we're all here to help each other out with. Also about the baby duck, I made a rather graphic reel about it on my Instagram. TikTok flagged it as animal cruelty violation and had to take it down but Instagram let me keep it up😂
Yes! What lights you up! It’s gotta light you up!
Gotta light ya up! Cannot. Go. On. Without. Inner. Lights. ⚡️
Nice new room vibes and good points made! I love that you want people to have passion and purpose in their creativity.
Thank you on the room vibes! Yes! The world will be a better place if more people had passion, purpose, and creative ritual!
I love this. For too long, being creative has been seen as an optional outlet. Not that important or beneficial for me. I look forward to growing more and becoming a content creator (😂) to help heal my soul.
Heal up and dome up Yessir!!!!
I LOVED this video, Brady!! You’re such a natural at talking on camera and bringing us along with you. I totally relate to content burnout from my experience with X, but also recovering with soul-lead personal expression instead. So grateful for the thoughtful effort you put into making this possible. 😁🙏🏻
Thanks Carrie!! Seeing your journey on X inspired me to light up the flame again after the burnout. May we all shine on with our natural gifts & live our purpose 🙌
Man I just want zombies to be real 😅
If only to prove my theory about how well I'd survive in that zombie apocalypse 😂

Genius content, great message. Keep it up!
Thank you! Will do!
Survival of the fittest!
Always!
Flesh puppet, it's a great description but a little disturbing to think about. I like humans.
Puppet is disturbing if we think that we are being controlled by some external consciousness. I believe our higher selves, or our eternal souls are commandeering the flesh avatar but sometimes our minds can get in the way of steering ourselves towards our truest purpose.
I like humans too.
How are you filming your alternate self so well...
I had some help on this one. Usually I just use a tri-pod and change camera angles haha
Honestly this is perfect, more people should see this.
Thanks man! Yea I guess I haven't wined and dined the algorithm enough yet. Been creating for myself and to get in touch with my soul niche.
This was great! I would never be brave enough to try something like this...
It takes some detachment from wondering what other people will think of you. It's also a throwback to a character I played in a short film I made over 10 years ago. Haha brought this guy back.
Straight to the point i like it, thanks!
haha no long suspense building intro to trick viewers into increasing my watch time metrics. Stay or leave the video, I'm sharing what I'm sharing haha
This reminds me of the planetary alignment, where people would stand brooms up...
Mission statement... okay.
I want to help people get stuff done.
What kind of stuff do you want to help them get done? There is no rush to being specific but we should be moving towards becoming specific and clear over the problem we want to help people solve. Being in the mindset of service is going in the right direction though, because that's how we get in alignment with our purpose and the value exchange that purposeful alignment brings from the universe.
Good advice, i had been stalling this whole time to find the perfect niche.
when that happens we should just start exploring our interests and curiosities in some content to start experimenting
I like how your Stripes character wore a striped shirt. The shirt was a different color then your whole setup. stood out.
haha thanks man!
Your set up is nicer in this, still a cool eagle.
Thank you, I do like the Eagle haha
I was always compared to the karate kid in my youth.
I forgot that Cobra Kai Netflix show wasn't out yet...
Folding space through black holes are a very popular way to break the lightspeed limit.
That is the best way to get across the galaxy!
Nice eagle bro!
Thank you!
Honestly you didn't seem to nervous at all. Rather free-spirited.
Let there be light!
Super informative! Need to work on my banner ASAP. Thanks!
@tykeller The banner is huge! Im planning to rework mine too to get even more clear and direct.
Looks great - I noticed that shorts on here like reels get new viewers for the channel faster
They definitely do. My channel analytics shows most my subscribers came from shorts

"But I still haven't found the niche that I'm looking for."
