Can we please take a second to appreciate this dude making such amazing films every dang week?! I appreciate it a lot man. Learning something new on a weekly basis!
I just had the same thoughs. (only year later) just found this chanel and I've been whatching now the videos last 2 weeks like a "mad lad" because so interesting and so much knowlege. Thanks!
Mark, I’m an ICU nurse who also has a love for documentaries. I’ve been in discussions with my hospital about filming a documentary inside the COVID unit I work on. The information in this video was so incredibly pertinent to me! I’m an absolute novice, and this project is bigger than me, but with the help of people like you, I feel like I can succeed!
P.S., Mark: the thumbnail image for this video is exquisite! The night nuances that decorate the female just demand appreciation from a visiting eye. And you yourself with the decked-out camera is perfect complement to her. In a thumbnail! 💛🤗
mark You're simply amazing man the fact that you're giving away knowledge that universities are charging thousands of dollars for I really do want you to know I appreciate it
so so helpful, especially the bit about knowing your ending. so easy with a solo project to want to trust the process but a clearly defined outcome makes the process so much easier. thanks for sharing!
Thank you, Mark. A lot of excellent points in here. My favorite is "simplify your gear". That's huge- remembering that we're there to capture a story and not to play with our toys.
Hey Mark, I just wanted to tell you how inspiring your videos are. They really helped me grow as a filmmaker, because your videos are not just about gear and stuff like that, but the craft itself. Thank you so much. Greetings from Germany
Your videos are incredibly helpful. I have made a short documentary for some friends about their sustainable farm business. Every bit of advice you've given was something ive run into myself or something i should've heeded as a type of warning you make sure i do when filming. Great content!
This is so reaffirming Mark! I feel as a growing filmmaker, it's so nice to feel validated. Seriously appreciate the gems you're dropping in these videos. Super stoked to go watch No Country Is An Island!
Really Mark, I can not think of another youtube channel with more densely presented thought nuggets than yours...and that you can present it all so naturally and even throw a charitable cause in there is...yeah. Your work is inspiring.
I think it's because Mark is a filmmaker first and runs a UA-cam channel second. Lots of UA-camrs drone on because they need that retention time and they have to fit in their own self promotion and such
I'm so glad I watched this video before shooting my documentary (currently finishing up the edit - I had to do the whole doc myself). I put effort into knowing my ending before I shot any footage. The doc now has the warm fuzzy/inspirational ending that I was looking for.
One thing I wish I had done was that I review the footage as I was in production. I had a few other gigs going on simultaneously, so I bundled it all up at the end. It was very overwhelming.
Dude... your videos are like quality... not just about the best cameras or gimmicky video techniques.. I feel like I’m actually in film school when I watch your vids. I appreciate your work so much, it’s nice to see an actual working professional teach. Merry Christmas to you and your family man.
This was really valuable, knowing the ending was most key for me because there’s times when I start and in almost overwhelmed with what to get when there’s must so much, so understanding the ending beforehand, makes a ton of sense. Thanks man🙏🏾
And it’s truly incredible and inspiring their level of forgiveness to be able to do that because although we often say we don’t hold grudges and we forgive. It must be so difficult in that type of situation, amazing to see
You may see a bit of a spike in your audience retention at the 7:45 to 8:07 mark because a great point was made there! You gotta get compact sound bites! I needed to hear that. I'm looking forward to watching your doc and kudos to you all for turning that into a fundraiser 🤝
Great video and so many nuggets of gold for filmmakers! I think filming on your own is also a skill every filmmaker should have in their back pocket even on larger projects. The ability to jump in where needed can save a project!
Mark, wow! This is incredibly inspirational. Thank you for this. I need more about how you’re focusing and stabilizing with the fs7’s. Thanks my friend.
This is the most real and useful video for documentary filmmaking of all kinds. Wish I knew this before I shot my doc. Please make a video on distribution,spent months wading through the process.
Congratulations on the completion of your project and injecting human understanding and relatedness into our global mutual reality! Additionally, thank you for your generosity in sharing your process, experience and expertise with US to further increase the quality of life for even more peeps! Your service is much appreciated!
Mark, you definitely got my subscription bro! This was a really helpful video for someone who’s just starting out, and is a one-man show. Look forward to seeing more content! Happy holiday!
You make a very good point about interviews. I would also say really try to make short, to the point interviews. A 5-10 mins interview will be a life saver in post when putting everything together and you've forgotten your story outline. All the background info should be off camera to save time. Also, have a general idea of what people are going to say or at least why they should be part of the story...

Great content!
This made my day! Thank you Jean-Pierre!!
Hi Mark. Great tip about getting subjects to summarise what they've said over long interviews. Will definitely be applying that technique.
I am telling you, you are a great teacher and have a knack of simplifying very complex things. Thank you!!!
This is so reaffirming Mark! I feel as a growing filmmaker, it's so nice to feel validated. Seriously appreciate the gems you're dropping in these videos. Super stoked to go watch No Country Is An Island!

It’s the worst part of filmmaking lol. Getting people to actually watch your film!!
Love this channel
This video is right on time. I'm gearing up to do a series of short docs by myself and needed this more than anything. Thank you.
You got this!
@@markbone can you do a video on the best way to distribute and promote an indie doc? Maybe something on how to enter film festivals?
Know the ending. Makes so much sense! Best advice ever! Thanx :-)
Great great works
First time here, Really enjoyed this. Thank you. Quality, useful and relatable. I'll be back for more.

Man you're right on !!!
Those are perfect tips! its really important to have these kinds of guidelines when you are working by yourself
Gad bless you Mark and Thank you so much for your helping 👏👏👏
You are a machine of high quality films Mark! So much value from this channel
Mark, you definitely got my subscription bro! This was a really helpful video for someone who’s just starting out, and is a one-man show. Look forward to seeing more content! Happy holiday!
Wow this was so concrete and very helpful! Just getting into making film and your video gives me some structure to hold on to. Thank you! 👍😊
Great video I got a lot out of this. Finally content that you can really apply to your filmmaking process
Just love all your contents about documentaries, learning a lot👌
You make a very good point about interviews. I would also say really try to make short, to the point interviews. A 5-10 mins interview will be a life saver in post when putting everything together and you've forgotten your story outline. All the background info should be off camera to save time. Also, have a general idea of what people are going to say or at least why they should be part of the story...
Where I live, November is the one. Highs in the 70's. Brutal summer is really over. October promises but doesn't deliver.
Very inspiring for me today. Thanks
I remember I was gonna learn filmmaking at a film school. Your content showed me a lot of what I need to know.
Hey I think we both have similar interest I have also worked with many aid organisations like oxfam, save the children, world vision near my city.
Great advise for the interviews! Thanks man
Really interesting, helpful information. Thank you!
