  • @buckrodgers2303
    @buckrodgers2303 5 років тому +31

    What an amazing tutorial!!
    I have looked everywhere for a video that not only shows me the "before" and "after" shots, but also the camera man's movements to create those shots, thank you so much for this BTS view. Please make more of these.
    Are you going to release your "Uganda Series" as a DVD? I absolutely love it! And I cant believe what you created with a Sony, a Mavic, a Gopro (same gear I've got) and the knowledge and vision in your mind (definitely haven't got☺️)
    I would love to support you, buy that DVD and proudly display it on my shelf, and use it for inspiration.
    (If anyone else would like to see this DVD released then please "thumbs up" this comment and maybe it will happen☺️)

    I rate what I watch by how they make me feel at the end of the presentation. Unlike other video instructions, you leave your viewer with a positive and hopeful feeling that they can do what you have just taught them. A hallmark of a great teacher -- making what would otherwise be overwhelming information a doable, enjoyable process. You have the gift of simplifying complicated concepts. You, sir, are right on the top of the heap. A class by yourself. Thank you.

    Being a content creator and coming across a vid like this is fun. You did a great job at putting this together to create a strong visual for people who want to see how to make a video more impactful. It's definitely a great way to teach people how to break away from a general "Establishing Shot" with pans and getting up close and personal with the specific elements that are involved with the entire scenery to show how they connect to make the whole thing work. Film making definitely focuses on personalizing the individual things that make the whole story and letting the imagination do the rest.
    Wonderful job.

  • @johngwheeler
    @johngwheeler 5 років тому

    I've just bought your Bootcamp 2.0 course, and think you're really hitting the nail on the head with these kind of video tutorials. This is *exactly* the kind of information that a newbie videographer needs, and for some reason there is very little of it to be found on UA-cam etc.
    Many channels talk about the gear, the camera settings or spend large amounts of time on wheeled boards of one kind or another :-) , but almost none focus on the basic skills of *how to film stuff creatively* or describe the film-making process in the detail that you do.
    This material is gold for beginners! Keep up the good work.

I can show them all my vids till my fingers break on the keyboards but sometimes it’s just useful to show another professionals work.

  • @stansabev

    Very valuable lesson here Tomas. What impress me the most is that fact that you actually thought from the perspective of the beginner, communicate the idea and deliver lt, in very simple, yet engaging way. I’ve been following you sporadically, but this is maybe be, because you upload like that:-). I wonder, what would it be, with the same level of value, same non formal style, but with the consistency the ocean waves?! Thank you and till next time.
