thank you all for not only a fun 2023 on this channel but supporting it since Dec 2018. Cannot believe it's already been 5 years! Lets crush another five!
Mark,
Thank you for all those years sharing your knowledge, advice, and experiences. I wish you a wonderful 2024!
Cheers from Minnesota!
PS: I'm very shocked that only 10% watch your incredible content 😮 they're really missing good information.
Been following you from the start since you were in a video by Matti. Congrats on 5 years, brother!
Love you man!
Mark, you report that some of your best ideas have come while you were bored. I picked up this saying in 1972 from a friend's copy of the Reed College yearbook: "Unrelieved boredom is the beginning of the end of being bored." I've found that boredom can be creative if we interpret it as freedom to look around. Hey Mark, didn't know you're a runner. My friend showed me the book at Runner's World, where I was the staff photographer and edited a cycling mag.
Ironically, by not taking yourself too seriously, people like me take you more seriously! Great advice
Where's the "love" button when you need it 💙💙💙
Hire for your weaknesses. This has hot home. This is something I need to do in 2024. Thank you.
The biggest lesson I learned in 2023 is to not obsess over cameras and to just appreciate the c70 that I have. In 2024 I plan to focus on growing my skills and my freelance business. 2023 has been such a rollercoaster for me professionally, so I'm really excited for what 2024 has to offer! Happy New Year everyone!
Story over gear always
Erwins book 'The Artisan Soul' is amazing for anyone who is creative!
"Your gift will kill you." Powerful words - needed to hear 'em. The "handle your gift and passions with care" chapter is some of the best advice I've gotten from UA-cam. Thank you!
🙏🏻❤️
Thank you Mark. Here's to 2024.
Hey Mark! Just wanted to drop this comment and say a massive thank you for being such a huge inspiration to all of us in our filmmaking journey. Your videos have been a game-changer for me-I actually got the idea for my first short film while watching one of your cool videos! I'm currently working on it right here in Heidelberg, Germany. If you ever swing by this way again, it would be incredible to meet and greet. Your knowledge has meant the world to me, and I can't thank you enough for all you've shared. Keep rocking those videos!
Wow thank you for sharing this brother 🙏🏻❤️
I’m also very passionate about AOD and Mark Bone 🎉 I love my job 🥹🙏🏼
but I will paint and read some more this year for my mental health ❤
As a filmmaker, this is my favorite video of the year. In the middle of my reflecting process now! I love to see the wins in the AOD accelerator. I have a theory that there's gonna be a high percentage of quality filmmaking coming out of the accelerator groups. *Putting this here for 2024.
I literally gaff taped an AirTag to my book marker in my journal, lol.
Hope you have a wonderful New Year Mark. Glad to be part of the 10% club that watches to the very end 😁
10% club sounds like a great t-shirt, haha. Keep up the great work, man, you’re inspiring all of us and the lessons on sustainability are no less important to share. Congrats on a great year!
These are GREAT tips... I am really working on putting my phone down to be 'bored' to inspire creativity.
Mark love the channel and this video. I found you thanks to your podcast with Erwin and I haven't been able to stop watching your content. This year has been a rough, rough year and I'm in the midst of my first sabbatical in 20 years of ministry and I've been inspired by you and your content to begin to dive back into my film student days of 20 years ago. Relearning so much and enjoying the journey of rediscovering and you being one of the instructors. Thank you. Here's to 2024!
2024 is your year brother! Glad to have you connected to the channel!
10%er.....lol Happy 2024 brother. When you're next in Portugal or NYC let me know, we can jam out!
Mark I really appreciate how real and open you are on the videos you put out. You not only share great insights to film making, but you share what you are thinking and feeling. I relate so much to what you share cause I either have gone through it or are going through it. Thank you bro!
Mark, your heart, your talent, and your authenticity on camera are the things I so appreciate about you. As a fellow PK, I believe in divine appointments. And I think God helped me stumble on your channel this year. It truly has changed my life and my outlook on film making in such a positive way. I’m in NC, so maybe one day I’ll get to tell you the whole story. Have a great NYE. And cheers to a great 2024.
We are hoping to finally launch our sailboat home so I can FINALLY make the doc I want to about that project. Two years in, hopefully only a few more months go before we are back to living on the water.
And thanks so much for, as always, sharing some valuable tips!
I just want to say thank you for all you do. I produced 3 docs and a ton of other content this year after an extended period of time recovering from an incident that nearly took my life. Your stuff here on UA-cam and AOD helped give me the confidence that I could pick up a camera again. I'm excited to do even more for 2024!
Wow. Thank you for sharing this Tyrone. Grateful to be any sort of help on your journey
My name is Aaron and I live in Toronto, Canada. I want to help people bring their films and docs to life with my cinematography skills. I'm fully equipped and simply want to film more and more.
Congratulations Mark!
When I watch, I watch 100%. It’s always time well spent.
🤍
Got to meet you this year and it really sparked a fire. So grateful for all you do. Hope to build something this year that makes full use of all the inspiration you provide. Thanks for all your do.
Lot's of wisdom in here, feeling a lot of these same things myself. Cheers and all the best in 2024 Mark!
Our time is limited, sharing information is valuable.
Thnx for sharing all your experience, flaws, and wisdom. 10% rocks 😎
Always!
Thank you for all the content this year Mark.
A big 2023 thank you!!!
Mark, thanks a lot. Have a great 2024!
These are some important lessons man! Especially resonated with the authentic storytelling and knowing when to take time off from your passion. Thanks for sharing and Happy New Year to you and all AOD fam! :)
Thanks for sharing your reflections, Mark! Your channel is a great inspiration!
Precious lessons alert!!!! Seriously, great GREAT stuff Mark! I will sure learn from those in a near future! Keep inspiring us man! 💯
Definitely a great video, that can make any of us to stop for a second and auto evaluate ourselves and think about the progress we’ve achieved and the areas that we kinda are struggling. Great. Thanks Mark.
Wishing you the best 2024 brother
I’m Jose A. Gonzalez. The last FX3 winner. Glory to Jesus. Thank you and AOD. For all your videos that are really helping the community.
Mark, thank you for all you do! I so relate to every word! At age 66 and new into filmmaking, you are teaching this old dog new tricks. ❤ Happy new year!
I wish you many more years of filmmaking!
My favourite film channel on UA-cam. Thanks. Looking forward to all your content in 2024. I'm a beginner videographer working in Bolivia.
Man I just need to get over my social anxiety so I can start collabing with people. I'm in Pretoria, South Africa, not in AOD, but would love to meet up in anything ever happens here 😅
Thank you for sharing. Lots of good insights! Loved the idea of becoming a better storyteller by telling myself the truth more often. It resonated // HNY from a 10-percenter :)
that pronunciation of 'whoop' definitely took me off guard😭 Great video and lessons, and thank you for the great lessons you've been able to provide this year!
2023 was an amazing year filmmaking wise. Even during the SAG strike I was able to meet and work with some very talented people and complete some outstanding projects. I am looking forward to the new year. Awesome lessons Mark and I agree with you! See you next year man
Another great presentation! I did the documentary this year and got many ideas from you. Someone says… Oh, I love that shot and I’m secretly thinking “thank you, Mark Bone“
This was something special and intimate. Liked it!
Don’t worry, Mark; I’m a 10 percenter. Also good advice-you inspired me to make a goal of being more bored in 2024 (for creativity purposes).
new fan here, working on my first docuseries and i cant even express how much i appreciate your channel
Thank you for all the information you put out there. I was so inspired I joined the AOD community and I am blown away so far!
Mark, thank you for passing on your wisdom. I’ve completed AOD module one and I’m looking at picking up module two when it opens next year. I will be filming my first documentary in February. Happy New year! 🍻
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Aye yo, your mom did great on those low shots too bro! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
End of the year reflections are essential!! Happy New Year! Also, it was a fun treat to see RUTH pop up half way through the video with the other one day docs! Thanks for sharing candidly, Mark. 🙌🏻
Thank you Mark for sharing so much wisdom and experience. Means a lot. Have a great new year!🎉❤
great thoughts, so true. Thanks for another year of videos.
Thanks so much for sharing your skills and knowledge, I've learned so much from this channel about making documentaries and filmmaking in general. You inspired me to make my first documentary this year on the Toledo Water Crisis of 2014 and next year I'm going to start an even bigger project, covering the aftermath of the train derailment in East Palestine, Ohio. I honestly don't think I'd even have the confidence to attempt these projects without this channel, so thank you for that, Mark!
Thanks for the inspiration this year and All the Best in 2024!!! :)
Fantastic vid as always 👌
Thanks for the inspiration
Love from Florida
Much love from Portugal ;)
Dude, I'm from Portugal too! Let's meet 🤜🏼🤛🏼
@@goncalo__vaz Already sent you a DM ;)
This is a really awesome video Mark, nice work. Raised some awesome points, especially on giving yourself permission to be bored and not pushing yourself too much. You really need to look after your health. Ive made that mistake before and not got the health back even now. Now i take it way more serious and will be making sure i look after myself and family even more this next year.
Have a great new years buddy! All the best for 2024!
Happy New Year Mark!! All the best for you in 2024, from this proud AOD member in Las Vegas, Nevada ✌️
Happy new year!
IDK how this would sound, but just sharing my learning on 2:39, while you are traveling/driving to work or just working on photos/designs. Don't go on listening to Gary vee/or other How tos, or This is what you are doing wrong vdos ( give them time sure but take a significant break from them ). My suggestion listen to local radio or any radio you like. I felt I got overwhelmed with the idea of falling behind ( which i kinda think i still am lol but those podcasts,video somtimes push that anxiety more ) not sure anyone can relate to this just sharing and great video Mark as always. Happy new year!
Just to clarify, I love gary vee and all those podcast lol, but I did feel a break from them is a must to actually think of yourself and whats unique about your stories and how u wanna tell them
Text editing has been a great addition!
Proud 10%er of this video. Haha. Thanks for all the great advice, Mark! Happy New Year!
Love the 10%’rs

Thanks Mark for sharing all the work that you guys do, it's truly inspiring. as a member of AOD really makes me me proud of this amazing community. I have learned so much, 2023 has been my best year in filmmaking thanks in BIG part to AOD. My best wishes to you and Michael. I hope to collaborate at some point with you or the community at some point. Cheers from Costa Rica!
Happy New Year. Thanks for the video. I am starting my 6th major documentary for next year and your channel has been helpful in shaping my approach. I'm a proud 10%, watching to the end. ;)

Great Mark! I do have a big project for a documentary I'd like to share with You. Wish you all the best for 2024. Keep running and filming ude!
Hey man, thanks for sharing such wonderful lessons. I’ve been watching you and I love your mindset your workflow. I have learned so many things from you and I am truly grateful for every every single lesson because it’s made my career.
Thanks for sharing brother. So glad this channel could help in any small way
Music does matter, I felt like the Super Mario Bros Movie just laid on so much music to every scene. It is a character
happy new year.
9:55 haha that’s my man
I make my shot lists in the nicest cafes in the world.
Thanks Mark, congrats on all of your success, and hats off to your entrepreneurial spirit, I have a hard enough time finishing just my short docs. Do you have any advice on landing new clients/marketing yourself? I've had features I DP'd on Netflix and Showtime, but I'd like to have my own boutique production company for commercials, short docs and branded content.
thank you Mark! your such an inspiration in our journey and passion for filmmaking. BTW what monitor did you use in 4:40?
That’s the built in DJI 4D monitor
Hey Mark, I have been slowly building up my kit and now its time to buy a monitor and from looking at your ultimate kit you say that the Small HD Action5 is best but its sold out every where. What else do you recommend?
Mark, Which is your favorite lens?
fml i also made a lessons of 2023 video. love your lessons!
lol without seeing your video I can assure you that yours is better, in all categories. Style, cinematography and wisdom
I like Schnitzel
So do i
I love you guys for loving Schnitzel
@markboneI have started my first documentary and I was wondering does anyone pay the talent that's in the documentary had a couple of people that ask for some type of payment. Is this the norm
I'm a 10% er :D
I love DOCUMENTARY , I want to add that flavor into my UA-cam videos.
Is there a healthy community that I can click with about ♥️❔
Maybe even beyond UA-cam?
Check out our documentary academy @theartofdocumentary on insta. We re open the doors to join this April
I find the overuse of music distracting - it also often diminishes and degrades the person speaking in a shot. "Here's Bob, but what he has to say isn't very important - so we'll add some music to compensate for this". Even worse is the overuse of sound effects in transitions, something that even some of the big producers do. AAaaarrrghhhh....
