    Thanks for not being just another lut-pack selling, self-aggrandizing, gear-flaunting, conflating-vlogs-with-filmmaking type of UA-camr.

    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.

    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.

    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

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
