Please keep staying at the subjects that u are banging at. Don't be another "UA-camr" who just want to sell other peoples products. Your words and knowledge is so valuable for small filmmakers like myself.
Simon Strandskov i hear you, I never want to become another creator just pushing gear. That said, in order to afford the time away from my filmmaking that these UA-cam videos require there is a need to make some sort of income from them or else there isn’t a business model and I cannot sustain this channel.
After having been in the creative camera scene the past few years , i’ve never found someone with videos like yours where i don’t feel like i’m wasting my time watching . it’s just great to watch and learn and i respect everything you have to say and i can tell that you really want to help us. Thank you!!
An interrogation scene from the master. The DP planted the camera down, and let the actor own it. Absolutely next level acting, and everyone should check it out.
This is the content that I really want to see! Other guys are just zooming around on one wheels and trying to make me buy stuff. Their films don't have any substance. They don't really mean anything, to me, but your content is about how to make engaging films that evoke true emotional response. Thanks for that man! Keep up the amazing work!
“get into their lives and help make a few things happen so you can tell their story more accurately”. every video is a a mark bone 🦴 masterclass! been practicing a ton of your storytelling tips since you started the channel. congratulations on 100k video views 📈 thank you for all of the things you make + inspire
Thanks for these tips! We are traveling the world by an electric sailboat and clogging the journey. Sailing is boring so making the video interesting is a huge help to the channel!
I found this really helpful. I never actually understood how to script a doc when you don't know what you're shooting, but I think I'm starting to understand and even getting a better picture of how to do it. Thanks.
I can text or look up something else during most videos about camera gear an so on. But your videos are so packed with new information, that when I (sadly) instinctively check my mobile, I have to rewind or pause. What I want to say is, that your content is so interesting and I am looking forward to watching your next video
Thanks for the great advice, exactly what I'm looking for. As for skating, our #1 trick in Minnesota is to have them push a (lightweight) chair around the rink!
Mark I went through that phase lol... Trying to make my vlogs more like movies as I grow. Your tips about asking the subject what they are experiencing and to direct them to do things is so clutch to have in your mind when filming. I'm going to work on those tips. Thanks for this great video. Your kids are great 👍
LOVED discovering your channel Mark! Super refreshing to watch content that supports method and creation. This is getting me excited and has encouraged me really to jump back into dreaming, storytelling and making films! Thank you and keep going friend!
You are one of the best doing this. I'm currently upskilling years away from shooting. Your short films on cinematography make all the difference I have learned a new way to think about light and what I am doing. Keep it up !!!
I do agree with you. Sometimes you just get incredible shots but no content and after a while it just gets boring. I will study carefully these tips for an upcoming aftermovie video a client asked me.. and I feel that just a series of nice shots that just show what happened during the event is not enough. I need to bring some of the story back even tho is just 1 minute video. Great job, keep it up man
It is really nice to hear this tips from you. I have being trying to do this by observing movies and aplying what I can in my vlogs. You push me to want to study more and more. Thank you from Brazil :)
I don’t often comment on videos on UA-cam, but you deserve it man. Your content is so valuable and you need to hear this in order to never stop making it :). Your tips are excellent and the examples from your own films make them so clear! Keep it up! You’re really helping us and the business. Cheers from Holland!
Thank you so, so, so much for all your videos! I just began an online film making course, and it's great to learn the technical side, but the storytelling part of that course is one video - a couple of minutes long. Your videos are really helpful!
Knew this was gonna be a great one in the first few minutes. Love your channel and teaching style, subbed. I'm just trying to make films to fit with my original music for my channel but it's amazing how relevant your filmmaking tips are for that. Working in scenes, not shots - so true. It's same in songwriting - you can't just write bars, you have to write songs. Think not just small details but also the bigger structure. Thanks for the tips and your footage looks beautiful also
I like you man, because you make videos more than just transitions, speed ramps, or whoosh effects. You make vids on REAL tangible filmmaking advice. Cheers man. Road to 100K 📈❤️👊
This is such a valuable information, thank you! there’s too little content about storytelling, and most of it is too vague. This video was so simple yet extremely informative!
Great channel Mark! Your channel is very inspiring! Would be very cool if you will make video some day about the lenses and focal length you use in your films. Great work man!
Thank you for all the filmmaking tips. I’ve been practicing letting my shots “breathe” from my latest trip and now my hard drives are choking on 4K footage.
It’s hilarious when you do the examples of the fast/disorienting transitions 🤣👍 I started wanting to do more “trendy” transitions and ended up working more on “in camera” transitions. I feel like that’s a better trick to learn than just snipping up footage and confusing the viewer haha
This is fantastic, thank you so much. I am learning a lot from your videos. I am getting ready to shoot my first documentary. I don't have the best gear but we have to start somewhere. I have experience in editing but not so much in filming so it should be interesting. I do know from watching your videos that it would have been a complete train wreck without the knowledge I am gaining from your channel. Thank you for what you are doing.
There are three things I did after watching this guide: hit the like button. Subscribed. Hit that bell for any notification. Thanks to you, I felt myself motivated like never before.
Another useful video Mark, some beautiful footage as well. Any tips for solo film makers and vlogging story lines in addition to those you mentioned here. Cheers Chris
Great video! Very inspiring. I really appreciate that you took the time to reshoot it in a more quiet environment. Nice touch with the “get someone to tell what’s going on” scenes in the end segment. ( missed the establishing shot though ;) )
Hi I love the info you give. I know this is just a gear question. But I'd love if you would make a video about your FS7 setup and how you shoot with it. I am an filmmaker for a company and they shoot everything on a FS7.
I love these tips. Your channel is single handedly inspiring me to start writing and filming my own cinematic shorts! Also what brought you to NC? I am based in NC... i love our forests and trails. LOVE IT!
Hope you enjoyed your time at the White Water Center! WWC is so dope, especially with their new winter setup! Oh, and thanks for the helpful tips on better content! Keep up the great work and be YOU 🇨🇦🇺🇸
Awesome channel man, the algorithm has just sent you my way and loving your work. Some really awesome advice and useful tips to take into my film making, appreciate it ✌️
Wow. This is so so good. Just like all the best stuff on YT, it probably won’t get millions of views, but it’s such good information. Probably the best advice I have seen on YT. Thank you!
Hey Mark!! Thank you for another banger of a video, love your content especially what I learn from it. Can't wait to apply it to some on my short films. Keep on being you!!! 👍👍
Thanks for the tips, that was real helpful. I'm trying to move out of the comfort-zone with trendiness of video technique and imply more narrative and meaning in my productions. I really enjoy the idea of documentary filmmaking. I would love to see more of this kind of content.
Yup I started shooting a documentary before knowing anything about it and I can definitely confirm that these are important points. My dilemma now is what to do with my all my second rate documentary project? Toss it and start a new one or go back to shoot more and try to recover it?
Thanks for not being just another lut-pack selling, self-aggrandizing, gear-flaunting, conflating-vlogs-with-filmmaking type of UA-camr.
Lolololol!!!!
On point
So true haha...This ones camoflauged himself with peter mckinnon facial hair and hoodie too
Perry Richardnon
Exactly

Waoo deep , Im glad I suscribed to your channel, i have my channel And i am learning how to use my Eos 90D

If Mark gets an opportunity to promote a product that he believes in he should do it.
I’ve been shooting professionally for about 10 years and this still helped me. Grabbing a person in the moment is such a good idea
💯
No youtuber ever got me sitting and taking notes. You do every time!!
🙏🏻♥️
You make really good videos
Thanks man!
Every time I open UA-cam, your video is in suggestions and I've watched each and every video of yours for at least 3,4 times. Keep it up mate
Wow! Thanks you Muhammad, this is encouraging
I love your channel so much, everyone is just focusing on gear and random b-roll without context. So happy finally somone adresses that issue
Great tips Mark!
Great tips. This was put together very nicely. Good choice to re-film in a quiet place.
After having been in the creative camera scene the past few years , i’ve never found someone with videos like yours where i don’t feel like i’m wasting my time watching . it’s just great to watch and learn and i respect everything you have to say and i can tell that you really want to help us. Thank you!!
Markku thank you for this! Made my day
I’m a beginner and am so looking forward to seeing more of your videos to help me become a videographer 😊
What is your single favourite scene from a movie?
yes
Very good job, very good info and tips. I just started my channel, is about videos shots on smartphones. I have so many things to learn....😁
An interrogation scene from the master. The DP planted the camera down, and let the actor own it. Absolutely next level acting, and everyone should check it out.
The single 15 minute tracking shot at the end of Children of Men. What a masterpiece.
Godfather 1 Restaurant Scene ✅

Merijn Yestra thank you!! Appreciate you taking the time to let me know ;)

So happy to discover your channel, incredibly inspiring and meaningful advice
Sean Cross 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 thanks bro
Thank you so, so, so much for all your videos! I just began an online film making course, and it's great to learn the technical side, but the storytelling part of that course is one video - a couple of minutes long. Your videos are really helpful!
So glad I can help :)
Having your family in here was a sweet touch.
Nick Long 4 kids!! Holy crap

Really useful tips Mark!
These kinds of details are often missed in the 120fps, shallow DOF world we're living in.
Thanks for the tips Mark! and your kids are so sweet!

This is good stuff - I really want to better at telling stories on video and this helped in the right direction.

Soooo much value I get from your channel 🙌🏼🔥
Aye, thanks Mark. You're are among those great channels who focus on skills, than the gear. Please be the same forever.

Thank you! Good stories make for good films
I literally take notes every time I watch one of your videos. Thanks for these amazing tips
Brilliant advice as always, your content is inspiring. Sometimes you have to contrive a scene in order to depict reality.
Thanks Mark. Your so right!
one of my fav video so far mark, cheers!
Great channel Mark! Your channel is very inspiring!
Would be very cool if you will make video some day about the lenses and focal length you use in your films.
Great work man!
Jeez man great content. Good, straight to the point, no annoying vlogging bullshit every 20sec. Keep up the good work !
Thank you for all the filmmaking tips. I’ve been practicing letting my shots “breathe” from my latest trip and now my hard drives are choking on 4K footage.

Great content, so much useful information about real filmmaking! Good luck! :)
THANK YOU! I've been suffering with this for so long!
Useful tips. I always struggled how to start with something people can follow. Overview shot is a very great idea.
Your videos are always helpful. Thank you for taking the time to give us this free information!
This is fantastic, thank you so much. I am learning a lot from your videos. I am getting ready to shoot my first documentary. I don't have the best gear but we have to start somewhere.

I do know from watching your videos that it would have been a complete train wreck without the knowledge I am gaining from your channel. Thank you for what you are doing.

Love from Nepal.

Nice work on the video.You've got a new subscriber. Would love to see more about storytelling and breakdowns while planning a video.
