When your starting out as a filmmaker it can be tough to figure out what you should invest in. Usually the best things to invest in are accessories like variable ND filters, microphones, lenses and stabilizers. Cameras depreciate in value so quickly but things like lenses can last you a lifetime. Invest wisely!

1 thing you need as a filmmaker. Manual focus.
xD
Exactly. Couldn't believe this guy didn't reshoot
Bad audio is most distracting and his sound is great! Youre right, the focus bouncing around is pretty distracting here however.
Using face priority auto focus is great option i think
i didn't notice anything!
The 3 things outside of your camera bag that are soooooo important are 1) a deep passion for what you are doing 2) the patience to stick with it. It’s a journey not sprint 3) positivity at all times on set/on-location
1. Support and Stabilizers (Tripod/Monopod/Steadicam/Gimbals/Glidecam).
2. Microphones (Good Sound is essential. Examples are the Rode VideoMic Pro Plus/Rode Wireless Go II/Rode Shotgun or whatsoever)
3. Lenses (Low Aperture Lenses in Particular. E.G: Sigma 18-35mm f1.8)
4. ND Filters (E.G: Tiffan Black Satin Filter)
5. Lighting (E.G: LED Lights)
This intro is... WOW! :) i totally agree. I think filmmakers should pay more attention to sound. You don´t need the best camera for shooting a great video :) P.S. the story is king.
So true :) But if you cant see or hear the story then story is worthless :D Balance in everything
Yes, thats right :)
so true
Yes, but good audio can be tough. I result to doing a lot of voice over work after filming. Need to invest in a good mic soon.
yea thats right ;)
The constant crops in/out are intensely irritating! Particularly ironic on a video that opens with a [very true] statement about how inexpensive good kit is.
It looks like you're holding F11 all the time
Bit harsh man. Some weird autofocus issues happening to him.
Couldn't agree more!
Its a smoother way (in theory) to use cuts, but he definitely does it too much, like every 2 words
Well, i don't think it has to do with his kit, but moreso prep. If he noticed that he needed to jump cut a lot, he should have turned around and introduced a new background to make the jump cuts a bit less jarring.
Hey Matt, just bought your color grading course and I'm really loving it. Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge.
Agreed. Attention to sound is key, background noise in a film i'm watching can be so annoying and can distract from the film.
This video was incredibly helpful! Thank you so much for sharing Matti :D
Thank you Matti for making these "howto-videos". I have followed you on Vimeo for a long time and have been wondering about the process how you do everything. Now you are sharing the information with us!
Thanks for the love! Really appreciate you checking out the stuff and following along over the years
this video was AWESOME- definitely helping me up my production game!
Awesome!
I love the way you make your videos, not only is the quality and edition really good, but the content is to point, without garbage, spam or useless filler.
Not enough youtubers like yourself.
Best of wishes.
Of all your videos I’ve seen, THIS was my favorite of them all. So encouraging and informative.
The 6th must have thing for a filmmaker? A focus puller!
P.S.
I love the sigma 18-35! It does work on a full frame though. If your'e using Sony you can either zoom in or use the APS-C mode and boom! 27mm - 52mm 1.8 lens!
Superb info! Loved how you defocussed on the camera and pushed sound and lights higher.
Matti, I think this is why I didn't watch Travel Feels too often back in the day. You've definitely grown and the personality in your videos keeps us all coming back 🙌🏽
nice channel. but please no more zoom in's and out's. use a second camera :)
Noted :)
I think it's mostly the small crops that can make it seem twitchy, try zooming in a lot more (not too much to kill quality though) on cuts and that should help. Maybe zoom just enough to move yourself over to the left or right 3rd. Excellent videos and information though! Keep it up! I just subscribed.
Dung - Do you suggest the second camera on a different angle? When you have jump cuts in between takes, cuttting between Close ups and a mid-shots is your only option when you have 1 camera, other than using b-roll. Just curious what you suggest when you only have one camera.
and use manual focus =)
My "rule" is : never cut in the same axis unless it is at least more than 30%. Great content, this is all that is important. Keep it up ;-)
Is that a cucumber stuck in a flowerpot on the left side behind you ?
HA that would be great it if it was. Guess again
It`s cactus, right?) Your camera sometimes lost focus on your face
Btw cool channel, subscribed
lol It's some sort of columnar variety of cacti. The pointy tip is from etiolation, it's caused by not enough light!
It might be his favorite seating device, for when his boyfriend's not around. It runs on batteries.
its is a big green dildo that stands besides the pot
Thanks for all the tips! I’m doing a a college course in creative media and Tv production, so i’ll definitely be putting some of these on wish list to save up for/ask for birthdays/christmas! ☺️
Great video! People are always obsessed with the camera, when it’s all the other gear that actually boosts your production value, and that retain their value. Great video Matt!
great tips! Audio and lighting is something major that I sometimes still failed to get right! I did some tips more focused on travel filmmaking if anyone is interesting in taking a look!
thanks.. subbed
I really enjoyed the atmosphere, how relaxed you looked when presenting the whole stuff. Thanks for the motivation
Just bought my first video camera and am excited to try new things with it. Thanks for the tips
Your channel should have way more views! 👌🏼 keep it up
Thanks man! Love the good vibes
Sounds pretty boring and annoying to me :)
*foreshadowing*
Kids use rode video mic
Mens use Rode ntg 3
Legends use their phones
To record audio
Michael Josh so true
Lmao srsly
Sorry, I don't speak broke. Could you say that again?
Thank you so much for your recommendations, Matti!
Thank you for your video. I am wanting to start my own videos on UA-cam and i was focusing on the camera to choose to much. After watching your video you lay out quite a logical sequence as to priority of equipment and the where and why to implement it. Really appreciate you sharing your advice
EXcellent video, great Info...thank you so much! The zooming in and out should be used sparingly, I found it a bit distracting. You seem very knowledgable and that's great, keep doing these videos as they're very helpful.
whoah!!..The camera tracked intro with the reflection on the water was way too cool!!!
Thanks! I did a tutorial of how to do that for yourself
TravelFeels thanks mate!!
Great...the information you presented gives me a better idea of the basic things that are essential, the thing that I will need now.
Excellent advice. I really liked the attention away from the camera onto other features of filmmaking such as lenses, lighting, and microphones. This is a well-thought-out video and I learned a lot
Criticism on this video is ridiculous. Thanks for the awesome information. For every harsh clown offering unwanted advice, there's a whole slew of silent watchers who are appreciating this. Keep it up. :)
Love the positivity! Its people like you who will go far in life.
+Ella Igwe #firstworldproblems
Agreed
Ella Igwe many ppl in the comments have been unnessecarily harsh
The knowledge is also good investment. When you know what you are doing you know what type of gear you need.
BTW, great tips!
🙏 So true! Learning is the best thing you can do and do it everyday
Cezary Lopacinski couldn't agree more, soaking up the knowledge from TravelFeels. The hard part is trying to decide what to do first
Chris the answer is simple. Both!
Dive into practice and don't forget about knowledge.
Everything needs time, so patience is also needed.
In my opinion of course.
The quick and blocky zoom gave me motion sickness 😂😂
thank you for telling me about the filters somethings that i forget so easily that i missed
How do you make an interview video with one shot full of jarring jump-cuts??
Title: five things you need as an filmmaker Thumbnail: shows 20 items
The mystery is which 5 :D
Good point
Thumbnail ideology is great...there is no lie but big truth modification.
...You know the psychology of viewers...
This is EXACTLY the kind of video I was looking for. Thank you so much. Very informative.
Thanks alot, was worried so much about an expensive camera.. Now i know where to start
Any filmmaker out there want to support each other?
Farbod Tb Yea I'll check it out if u do the same
+Lively Shively sure thing
Sure FabodTB sub for a sub?
+motormous3 done! Too easy
Farbod Tb sub for sub :)
whats up with the autofocus?
I've been shooting stills for 25 years and I'm just getting into film making. Love your channel. Great work!
I think this is the best filmmaker advice videos on youtube i ever watch! Thanks a lot
Coming from 2019 it seen your personality change big time
Was just thinking the same thing! I was like uhhh this is NOT the Matti I know. Such a huge difference.
I'm getting motion sick with the zoominess, and the readjusting focus.
Very sensible advice. Well explained. Thank you for taking the time to share this.
I enjoyed the video very much. The content was perfect. Thank you for the detailed explination of each of these items and the importance. Much needed for me and my small budget!
Talks about nice video production - Camera goes out of focus a dozen of times in the video.
Jesper probably a gh5
Jesper I like the channel and like the guy. But it is pretty annoying, and ironic considering the content.
(I would have left it in but put a *SORRY ABOUT THE AF notice up to at least confirm he's aware of it. )
snotty picky comments: he is making a utube vid for beginners: not wowwing corporate gurus to spend a ton on him: the piece makes him approachable to his market. OVERPRODUCTION is just as obnoxious, if not more obnoxious than any small failure to focus on details. Your taking one class your helicopter mom told you to take so you could feel you are an expert did not teach you good manners. Get your technoigeeky ass out of the equipment and go learn some weigh and consider and communicate balance skills: its how you get clients!
AMEN!!!!!
please no more
zoom in and zoom out
Wow! Thanks for the great tips Matti! I just had camera on the brain, now I'm thinking audio and lenses! Thank you!
It's so inspiring the comments in this video. How loads of people commenting about the focus of mattih when now he is a great filmaker and still a nice guy. When precisely the people commenting have around 300 subs...
It's crazy how this is telling me no matter what people comment. Just keep doing what you love, and this video is only from 4 years ago😊
the constant crop in/out was extremely annoying when watching this video.

I'm just starting out in filmmaking and photography and getting one or two solid, high quality lenses early on is one of the biggest recommendations I could offer anyone who is looking to get into this stuff. I bought a very lightly used Sony a6500 (body only), a Sony 35mm F/1.8 and a Sigma 16mm F/1.4.
Getting a couple of really good lenses early on just makes you want to get out and shoot even more often. It also makes you want to get into cool looking low light environments or go out to some nice landscapes and get quality shots and cheap/kit lenses just aren't likely to be good at those types of things. Fast wide lenses will inspire you to push yourself early on and will allow you to get very nice photos and videos early on which will only make you want more great photos and videos.
Awesome video Matti! Thanks for all the knowledge you drop in your videos! Im hoping to get out of my shell soon and tap upload!
I like how you kept changing the view. So its not just a constant stream of you just talking.
Thank you so much for your suggestions.
(But cropping in and out is annoying)
I need to buy a glidecam but i don't want to buy that super expensive 429$ glidecam !! i need something between 50-80$ and has good stabilizing .. and holds the little heavy camera.
Hm your probably gonna get something thats not really worth buying at that price range. I would say look for a used one! You can get them for around $100-200 used.
Ahmed Diae you can get one for 20 USD on lazada .com
You can pick up an Flycam for $160
neewer make a good one
you can buy the Flycam Redking for just $200 here's a rewiew/comparison of it: ua-cam.com/video/l_r4k8TbGIQ/v-deo.html
Thanks for this! Definitely super helpful as I am trying to get into making videos!
Sd cards,
small and big lens,
2 types of stablizers,
monopod - trypod with 1 leg.
lighting
Great advice, but the zoom cuts - making me feel dizzy.
You should have way more subscribers and views!! How much time did you spend on making the stop motion?
Thank you! and way too much 😂
I have watched it attentively and repeatedly. Your video is important to the people who have a demand to be film-maker specially for beginners. Thank you.
thanks man. researching videography and this has been the most helpful video so far!
thanks for the video.
Thanks for watching man!
Great video dude! I just subscribed! I make fashion videos and what not feel free to take a look! Also this was very helpful as many videos as I do it's still great to go back to the basics! And you're totally right about audio lol. Keep up the great work.
-Brandon C
Hey welcome to the channel! Yea man sometimes it takes never hurts to do a refresher. Nice content on your channel. And thanks 🙏
TheBrandonLeeCook I
Great video. This is spot on for filmmakers knowing about what gear they should focus on.
The stop motion animation just made this video a whole lot better!
Before you preach about film gear, set your camera focus to manual. I'm sick of seeing this on so many of these videos aimed at filmmakers.
great info but please stop that constant zooming!
Thanks Man!
You helped me choice my set up according to my budget!
Super helpful video and overall great channel. Thanks for putting this all together!
Saying "I shoot weddings" can sound really bad out of context, lol
Lmao
You have a lot of focus hunting and what appears to be a bunch of jump cuts that made it hard to watch this video.
Very nice advice. I'm definetely going for that black satin filter, makes very much sense though this is the first time I hear about it.
Keep up the videos! love the info you provide.
Your autofocus is irritating. Every 30sec it gets you out of focus
I disagree I think its 37.5 sec.
Uhh.. no it doesn't are we watching the same video?
14 minutes of clear and good infos. But ThE aUtOfOcuS bAd
Wow this video is almost impossible to watch with the constant zooming in and out so I gotta go.
great tips!! I just found your channel and loved your insight on colour grading, planning on watching more of your videos, thank you very much!!
Great Video you’re so right about the camera. I know I’m gonna move up to the Canon upper line so I’m starting with the SL2 with some decent glass and move up to higher level Canons and keep my same lenses
the punch in and out on your jump cuts is nauseating because it is done way too often. Would be cool if done every once and a while though.
How many people had a seizure from watching the constant crop in/out? #epilepsy
This is what I've been looking for since 2 years! Thanks Matti!!!!
Great info, as usual. Thanks Matti !
losing focus quite often on the face... I bet you're recording with a panasonic !
You shoot weddings??! ..thought you said you were a filmmaker..
Just kidding. =) Very informative video, appreciate it. Thumbs up.
hah 😂 started out in weddings and I shoot a few still a year. They are pretty dang good 🤑
Thanks man!
awesome video. so so helpful. wish I'd had this type knowledge years back when I first got interested in film making. really fabulous lessons. Thanks.
Thank you for all the tips and give some insight as to what type of gear to aim for :)
Gear doesn't matter
- Casey Neistat
It doesn't but better gear can lead to higher quality if it's the right equipment.
Ah I remember this video. Professional video tips from a terribly shot unprofessionally produced video. Also, get some better lighting.
The Technoclast considering that he has more views and subscribers. I'm sure he's doing fine
I’m all basic gear now for UA-cam , Zoom H1 , Cannon t5, Andoer lights but this video puts it into perspective. I thought the Camera was the most important part but now I know it’s the culmination of the parts not one in particular.
I just wanted to say THANK YOU to TravelFeels as these videos are really helping me out. I just bought a macbook pro (used as buying that here is extremely expensive) and I am ready to edit the videos I already shot with my GoPro. However, I want to buy another camera and equipment and this video is going to help me a lot.
Thanks again!
Awesome! So glad your loving it!
Nice Video, but this autofocus gives me brain damage
Maybe get your brain checked out if out of focus stuff does that? it might be serious....
ok dude stop talking in slow motion. I watched this video on 1.25 playback speed
Same here!
Same
Somberest bruh I literally just did that before i saw your comment 😂💀
This has inspired me to upgrade my current setup. Thank dude!
THANK YOU you had given so awareness
Sorry dude. Couldn't make it past 3 mins with all that crop in and crop out stuff.
i don't know if i should take film making advice from someone who doesn't know how to properly cut a few clips together....
He did those zoom in cuts on purpose because if gives the feeling of 'zooming closer to engage with the audience' while he's just making jump cuts
Your Dp is trippy
Thank You. Every time I watch a video of you and Peter I learn something new.
Good stuff, man... learned a lot from this vid. Keep up the quality work!
