Guilty of panning 🙋🏻♀️ I try to show my audience the entire picture, the way I see it - from left to right, but yeah not cinematic. My takeaway from this vid is to pay attention to details, observe more. Thank you for the tips, very very helpful!
Hey Thomas...I've been following and practicing all the great tips you've been providing over the years. I echo the other comments in that your style of teaching is very different and more practical for us amateurs to really put use quickly. You've recently done a few videos in the woods for b roll which is a great destination but was hoping you could do a similar video tutorial for b roll in different settings/locations where many also tend go for holiday or vacation. This way can can link these techniques better. Thanks for all the great content!
I was quite overwhelmed with ideas on what to shoot on my travel trip, even though I still am, this video has certainly helped me be selective about the shots I will be using. Thanks a lot Thomas
Absolutely love these “how to videos”. They’re so helpful and as I’m new to this, I can’t wait to try these tips. I’m hoping you do a “how to” travel video. That would be dope!
You are a most amazing teacher. Iv'e been a serious still image maker for years. Got into video by accident a few years ago when I became a volunteer at a no-kill animal shelter. Started to do short videos to give the pups at the shelter wider exposure(sorry for the pun) Anyway, this entry into the moving image world has sparked a new passion in me. Have become very comfortable with my GoPro 7. Learning how to shoot powerful cinematic footage with my Iphone 7 plus. Recently came across your UA-cam channel. I've viewed a lot of "tutorials" the last 6 months, and I can say without a doubt that yours are at a whole other level from EVERYTHING I've seen. Your humanity and passion come blazing thru the screen.
Alex! You have no idea what you achieved here! Well, you probably do but just wanted to tell u this is one of the best tutorials I've seen. You guided us through the exact process as you were shooting it without drawing the attention to you with all the super-duper cool words and gestures like Keter PcMinnon does but remained focused on the important - the shooting. I learned so much here forcing me to go out and shoot something immediately, which I did too :D I liked the real window view. Thanks a lot, bring up more, please. Cheers.
@@ThomasAlexNorman Hey Alex, check this out. My first footage of the kind, made as per your tutorial! Fortunately, I live in a place where the nature is just perfect for it. ua-cam.com/video/xCbWtv-sFNo/v-deo.html
Great tips and advice, Thomas! I like the suggestion to really observe and think about how you feel, and how you want your audience to feel when they see the video. Thanks for sharing practical and useful information.
Anyone else here doing what you're not supposed to do? Haha we're definitely guilty of both point & shoot and panning The observe tip is very useful! I tried it today and found myself filming a couple shots I probably would not have filmed normally
First i saw an open boring ocean. After his explanation and vdo i saw a very beautiful ocean kissing the land and natures enjoying and i am observing from the pine trees. That was a great way of telling the saying. you earn my sub.
I have learned so much from watching your videos. I've been practicing your techniques for my upcoming Appalachian Trail thru-hike, and adapting them to my own style. Thank you for helping me make my videos less boring!
You ah e the best advice for composition, ideas, story, and your travel videos are brilliant. Thank you for all of your advice. I just do little Videos on my iPhone for fun. But watching your videos have gotten better
Thank you so much! I’ve started shooting video on hikes then piecing together into Instagram reels and haven’t known what to do besides slow pans of landscape and waves. This will help me capture much deeper feelings and experiences to share!
Thank you for all these amazing tips! I love that you actually SHOW US how TO and NOT TO do things! I'm definitely a visual learner and this helps so much! I've added almost all of these types of videos to my watch later list! 😆
I absolutley love these step by step videos. I shoot everything on my phone (Note 9). Technique often trumps equipment. Thank you for your thoughtful instruction :)
What strikes me is how small your movements are. As a total beginner this has been really key to me, because I imagine my movements being large and lacking grace!
Love these types of videos! I sometimes make the mistakes and sometimes use the tips you said. But it is great to watch this video, really clearly explains it all!
new to the travel vlogging/ /youtubing scene. been following your tips after my 8th video and i gotta say its simple , practical and working tips like these that helps newbies like me . thanks !
Hate to just echo everyone but this was an excellent demonstration of collecting your raw materials and showing how they work together as the finished product. You're showing how the camera sees things versus a person's eyes and brain. That's huge, in photography. And no faffing around, as you folks say over there. : ) No crazy speed-ramping or editing tricks. Just the fundamentals, made to work. I appreciate the craft in that razzle-dazzle stuff, but this is where the art happens. Liked and subbed.
Excellent video. This is so nice for us beginners. The way you show us everything from what you see, what you want the audience to see and feel is so perfect. I want to keep learning.
Ah nice one man. That whole creating-depth-with-things-the-foreground bit is something I don't think I've consciously thought about and there are def some moments where I could have definitely improved my epic viewpoint shots
My mind immediately jumped to some cliff views I has years ago and also got me thinking about some cliff views for a trip I have soon. Super helpful dude
Hi Thomas, I love how you teach , you really explain it well, I would say your one of the best! I love the nature filming it helps me film for my channel. Here are some ideas for you. - Filming B roll for hiking - Filming B roll for canoing Just some ideas. Cheers, Dave.
Wow! Really glad I stumbled on your channel! I was under the impression that you can achieve shots like that only with gimbals and tripods etc. Your B roll tutorials are real eye-openers for me.
I have been an avid follower of your videos. I must say you are my teacher as I try to emulate what you teach. I do have a suggestion. It would be great if you could show your editing process. That will be like a complete guide which can help people like us create something.
@@ThomasAlexNorman Hi Thomas,i am a beginenr videographer and i have been following you since the last 2 yrs and i am learnign a lot from your tips,one question though,are you using manual focus on these shots?lets say when you shoot a reveal shot coming from the tree,do you pre-focus on the background?thanks a lot
This is dope Thomas. I like how you explain that observation is part of the process. I think this incorporating this element makes what you do art. Taking time to do this will help me make better videos. What's cool about all your points is that they can apply in any setting.Thanks!
omg wow they look amazing I cant wait to get out soon with the camera and try some of these shots. Thank you for making these videos as they are so helpful and look amazing and hopefully i can save up enough money to buy a new good camera .
Thomas, just stumbled upon your channel and I really enjoy your way of explaining how and why you take the shots that you do to piece together a great b-roll sequence. Subscribed and am looking forward to more.
Great tips. I feel like I really struggle with my B Roll which is probably a result of been a photographer 1st then a video maker. I need less point and shoot and more thought in my B Roll. Cheers Keith
Thanks for your tips! It seems the clip doesn’t have to be long, just take various short clips of what’s interesting and make sure to use slow motion, the final result will be wonderful! I use pan shot too often, will try your tips for sure! 👍🏻
I have been following you for a while, really like this kind of videos, very helpful for a newbie, I just got a gimbal and I am very exciting to try your tips, thank you so much
Another great video Thomas. Your TVA course has helped me dramatically over the past few months. I can't wait for my next holiday to grab the shots we learn about. How about meeting me for a few nights on a boat around Komodo Island in October 😀
Loved this one too - you asked for ideas and you probably have done it, but with all the gopros out there maybe help with that. On that note, would you stay more with linear or wide view while filing on a gopro? Or a mix of both? - Thanks!
I came expecting nothing, and I got out amazed by the simple, yet, amazing tutorial.

The first tip is the one I need to implement way more in my life. Life lessons and film lessons thats why you are the best.
I was quite overwhelmed with ideas on what to shoot on my travel trip, even though I still am, this video has certainly helped me be selective about the shots I will be using. Thanks a lot Thomas
This video will forever change the way I shoot! It was a true "ah-ha" moment where the light bulb went off in my head. Thank you so much for sharing!
