Host and Creator - Simon Cade
You are a star. very motivating and inspiring. Thanks
Noah Reynolds you haven't turned on replies on your comment, but yes I did write the intro music!
hi simon- which video editing software do you prefer for mac or pc windows 8
either final cut pro x or adobe creative cloud. although adobe is too expensive for me, so I use final cut
DSLRguide what about Edius pro or cyberlink powerdirector, are they good?
i've never used them, i'm afraid. i'd recommend searching for some reviews on youtube
DSLRguide thank you mate, you are a really nice person.
Two years later and now you're at 400,000 subscribers. Thank you so much for your no-nonsense, very informative videos!
Simon your channel was one of the first that actually helped me, I am trying to start a weekly show and your videos have really helped me prepare for it.
I just wanted to thank you for making my life a little brighter each day. Your videos help me believe in myself and my dreams. The only advice I can give is KEEP DOING WHAT YOUR DOING!
Congrats Simon!
no wonder you always sound like your speaking at such a consistent and flat volume
He must bring some pauses and vary the level of sound in his dialogues to just throw out this flatness
Jonathan Allison I want to eat chocolate everytime he talks.
Thank you for all of your well made and interesting videos! I'm a musician and a friend of mine is photographer. We've decided to do a series of live performance videos in various locations and with a number of different musicians. We realized early on that the logistics of finding the right locations, getting all the people and equipment needed and so on was going to be intense. Your advice on many different things has been very useful to us. So, thanks and keep up the good work!
This is a huge commitment dedicated to filmmaking that I can see from you. That's really inspiring, Simon! Thanks for things you've done. Keep up the great work.
I like the "simple and beautiful" approach in all your videos rather than the high octane intro, graphics and stuff,which makes your videos look premium and of high quality. Keep up the good work mate :)
Congrats Simon, you've done fantastically!
All the best
CW
thanks Chris!
Binged-watched DSLR Guide.. now I am hooked!!! I was thinking of enrolling in some film school.. but this is soo much better!!
I feel more confident with each new video I watch!!
2 THUMBS UP!!
218 likes, 101 comments, and less then 2,000 views... just goes to show how much people value the final product as a result of your hard work and experience! You've done a really great job so far and I really am looking forward to "another year and another 100 videos" along with more results for you
It's all very exciting, thank you for your support Antony!
You have helped me identify where I can make improvements and what I am doing right. Certainly, there is much more work I need to do, which is exciting! Pre-production is not easy because I never know where I'll be day after day; I travel for a living. So, I must shoot first and ask questions later. That leaves me with post production editing. Since I only have a mobile app and a dysfunctional laptop, my editing is done on my android smart phone. Lastly, the time it takes to edit is the most tedious portion. With all of that said, you have saved me a ton of time by identifying areas that I can improve upon instead of making corrections in post. Many thanks!
I recently rediscovered your channel and I must say how impressed I am. I've binged watched tons of videos and you've brought up so many interesting topics that just hasn't occurred to me. I love how precise and focused your channel is. So many other channels are so random. Keep up the phenomenal work Simon. Looking forward to some more great content from you in 2015!
Thanks Bobby, that's very encouraging. appreciate the support:)
Simon, I find all your videos inspiring, fresh and creative, not just very, very handy. Because doing a show is such great practice, I would like to see more "Behind the Scenes at DSLRguide". Please consider making others often as you add and subtract elements and considerations. Thank you!
(I still do not eat as many apples as I should though ;- )
Your videos helped me a lot. Thank you. All I need to do now is manage my time.
This is amazing. Love the cinematic feel your videos give off
Didnt realize it takes so much time. Its almost like a part time job. Great content Simon, thanks for all your hard work.
I know, you made this 3 years ago but its way more than a part time job
Its a way of Iiving
Still has great content
Seems like 2015 has been a big year for your, since you got much more subscribers! I joined 2015 and i'm always happy when a new video goes live! Its really helping me out. Im currently trying to get better at cinematography. Keep up the great work!
Thanks a lot Simon! You are very inspiring brother. I am a bit of a rookie but slowly getting there. I learn a lot with you channel. Keep it up!
It's really Great that you show, how much effort it takes to make a 10Minute Video. Many People do not realise that and don't understand, that Filmmaking is actually work that requires a lot of time - and Time is the most valuable resource we have! :) I really love your Mindset according to the Art of Filmmaking!
Have to say, as an aspiring film maker myself, I really enjoy watching your videos. Awesome, informative, encouraging, and a very approachable atmosphere.
Keep up the great work man!
Joseph Kage thanks Joseph, that really means a lot!
Thats dedication, wow nice job Simon.
Just earned yourself another subscriber. You will make it kid...because you ARE making it! Your passion for this really shows. And at 17 you are already more professional than loads of adults in various walks of life. Please keep up the great work...its really enjoyable watching you teach and grow your craft.
geetar28 thank you, that's very encouraging to hear!
Recently subbed to the channel, just wanted to say how inspiring it is to watch your videos, especially looking at some of your older ones compared to now, good stuff! :D
Upload defaults and tagging for relevant videos of the same channel! GREAT advice as I kept copying/pasting descriptions! LOL! You've come a long way since this video celebrating 10K subs. Way to go, Simon! Keep on shooting.
sometimes a photographer needs to be motivated , you motivated me ...while watching your videos I always feel like more than camera equipment the person , the photographer , the artistic view are more important to create good contents/ photograph ...
dude i really appreciate that u give more importants to the person who is behind the camera rather than a high end specifications
Awesome to see how this channel and your style have evolved so much in just 2 years.
I love your channel and this particular video. It really showcases all that goes into making a video from start to finish. I especially like the hour counter tracking the time of the project. I really appreciate the backlinks to past videos and your references to equipment in the show description making it easy to find stuff. Super thorough !!! Amazing. Great job
thanks Kat, I'm glad you liked the video. Very happy to hear that all that stuff is being appreciated, thank you for your support!
Your channel has grown so much, awesome job dude!
Almost 2 years later, you've got over 20x the amount of subscribers..! Very well deserved, Simon! :)
Wow that is amazing organization you have for your videos! I also love making spreadsheets to stay organized, but I don't do this for my UA-cam videos quite yet because I'm still starting out. Great Video!
I have to say man, your videos are top quality. You seem like you were born doing this haha (jk I know it's a lot of work put into it). All the tutorials and videos are so clearly delivered and informative, thanks for everything and keep up the great work!
Andrei Sfirschi Very true.
i must congratulate you. i have been seeing some of your videos. In your videos i can see dedication and preparation, you know what you are talking about. you show what you are trying to explain. you take it serious,not being boring though. i understand you speak fast to make a short video... and although sometimes you speak too quick, its also a way for our brain to be focused, so we get every word you say.
well planned, created and elaborated.
good job. keep up the good work and the effort and dedication you put on your videos. see you
I've been subbed to you for quite a while now and I'm so impressed with how far you've come. There's no doubt you'll be successful at whatever it is you take on. Keep up the good work!
thanks Dave, appreciate the support!
I look up to you for your work ethic.
Thank you for the valuable information, Simon.
Have a great day.
I love the work you are doing with your channel. It was very interesting to see your workflow. Great work!
Thank you Simon, love the behind the scenes video.
Wow! The spreadsheet is a great idea. I may adapt it for my filmmaking/UA-cam process. Love seeing behind the scenes! Thanks. :D
i just love all your guides and i think they mean a lot to me!! Please keep filmmaking and you surely teach us a lot!
I just discovered your channel and it is just awesome! So great to find still such high quality channels on youtube! Congratulations!
Wow never expected that you'd delete all the original raw material.
I keep dragging on unfinished projects for years. But I see once you get this workflow in place, plan out what you want, put the time in to do it properly and finish it off and put it out there. I can see you re then ready to let it go and save HDD space to move on to the next project.
It's pretty beautiful actually. As you get what you need: learning n gaining experience by doing, and the audience gets their valuable lessons and content.
Time passes by and you are moving forward. Great stuff, keep on doing it!
Stumbled upon this video in 2017 and it is a great help. Inspiring to see your journey and how far you've come with it all.
I'm just getting started with creating video content myself and am not a natural in front of the camera. No surprise there being a photographer :-) but I have a wealth of experience that I would really like to share with others and so will be getting stuck in, making mistakes and learning as I go, thanks to the generous efforts of yourself and the community. Thanks.
Learned a lot from you. I think you've inspired many of young people who love filming and post production editting. Keep going, you'll become a great star in this specilized area.
I'm so glad I've found your channel, your videos are so helpful and informative. Thank you so much!
I really like your storytelling. They way you breakdown the whole process into easily to-do tasks it's just amazing! I myself am planning to start my own UA-cam channel about photography projects and I keep coming back to your videos and for inspiration. Keep up the good work (for yourself and for people like me)!
:-)
Shray Chawla this is very encouraging to hear, thank you!
Giving a big shoutout to UK UA-cam Creator Simon Cade and his Channel DSLRguide. On navigating UA-cam, we all come across many styles and elements of video making. Simon is a fresh face that needs to be recognised for all he's achieved so far. The real find here is the energy and attention to detail that Simon puts in - many creators will just vlog, slap in too many jump cuts and upload. Simon does the opposite, he's in for the long game, he has beat sheets, scripts, a methodology and patience, kudos to that..
h/t to ***** for pointing me to this creator..
Thanks Mike Downes. This is especially interesting to me as I'm looking to buy my first digital camera and looking for all the first timer info I can get.
Lee Brewer Sounds great, what are you looking for? I mean, sure you have cameras on your phone already. Is it DSLR you are getting. One very interesting note, is how some dslrs can fit old school lenses.. I have the links somewhere..
Yep, looking for a good DSLR. I have a friend with an older Canon that he wants to sell and it's probably more than I need as a beginner, but the price seems really good. I'm just trying to get info to make an informative decision.
Lee Brewer Are you looking to take photos and/or video? What lens does it have? I am more of a Nikon guy, but revisiting my two dslrs, I would say a tripod or a monopod is a staple. These dslrs can be like magic wands, and getting a shot right takes energy - I even went through a process to calm myself and slow my breathing down recently. Just because you can shoot at 1/1000 of a sec, does not mean you should. I often go to 1/30 and slower, and for that definately a tripod..
Lee Brewer as a ps for DSLRguide - did you see this post at g+ ? As Simon was not sure of any value in g+ .. we know there is.. I mean, you have learned of this channel from a g+ post I would guess, rather than youtube?
I've just started to buy some of my own equipment your channel helps so much. Videos like this that show a certain production workflow help me figure out how I should be doing my own, so thanks so much! Keep up the good work! :)
You're very welcome, i'm glad it was helpful!
Bro your channel is such a great resource for filmmakers. Will definitely be watching. It has helped influence me to get back on youtube making videos again.
cheers Gabe, that's really encouraging. Go for it! do the kind of videos that you really enjoy, and it'll get a whole lot easier
Wow man I really respect you. Great job. Thank you for all the hard work, we love these videos.
Brill. Always good to see the process. Helps to know when 1) on the right track and 2) what could be improved. Great vid.
Hi Simon, I found your UA-cam channel by chance today, and honestly speaking, I think you are a professional filmmaker and great presenter. I never thought it would take 15 hours+ for one short video, that's a lot of time. I am interested in film making but when I shoot some home videos I get shaky footage, and that puts me off. I hope to learn more from you. Many thanks for the nice video.
Abu Yussuf thank your for the encouragement!
Didn't realise these videos take so long.
Really appreciate the effort! Great stuff!
I like the spreadsheet idea... May have to copy that one...!
Crikey Simon! You seem *COMMITTED*. I knew that filmmaking took time, but not that long!
A nice overview of your process. A lot of work. UA-cam is full of interesting channels.
You are really helpful and enjoyable to see! Keep working so hard and i can see you behind the best films and movies in a few year!
Another awesome video as usually Simon. Love to see how you explain the way your work. Extremely professional and nice to see behind the scene of what it takes to do an episode. Just saw your Short Movie, that was fenomenal, great filming, acting and the story gets that "punch" in the end. Keep amazing us Simon :)
Big respect to you, man. Just subbed yesterday and have already learned so much!
Lol. "Charlie bit my finger"
thanks for the video. good time management skills!
Congratulations on reaching the milestones.
Your videos help me so much, THANK YOU!! You're channel is the BEST to learn from. Never stop!!!
+poketboyfrodo that means a lot :)
Simon, at 4:40 you are changing the background colour manually to check the items off. You can use "conditional layout" (or similar name) and use conditions like: if the cell contains a "v" (checkmark ;-)) change the background colour to green. This will be easier and faster.
You can even use percentages and set colours for them, for example: 25% when you started (background will turn red), 50% can be orange, 75% all most done = yellow and 100% = done= green.
Keep up the good work!
that's such a brilliant idea - thank you John! I'll definitely look into that.
Very pleasant tone in your videos, and sharing how you succeed so well, fantastic. Cudos!
one day I will hire you to be apart of my future blockbuster movie ..you earned it!
Excellent organization and work flow! You are destine for great things! Thumbs up!
100 videos & 10,000 subscribers... is no small feat! Congratulations!!! Keep up the excellent work, Simon!
thanks Bryan!
By far the best video I’ve seen on UA-cam aside from James Matthews Film making process.
You're so talented and hardworking. Very impressive.
Wow in just the span of 2 years you've raised 240,000+ subs ever since this video. Praise for u dude.
This was one of my favourite episodes dude!
thanks Taha!
Congrats! Love your stuff! It helped me out a lot as someone trying to get started!
Another fantastic video, just as I have come to expect from you! Thanks for making this video in particular because now I know that the amount of time it takes me to produce and upload a weekly gaming video is not unusual at all. I was starting to think that I was just really inefficient at editing and stuff, but I am not out of the ordinary. I also want to say I have learned a ton from your channel and have already started to use some of that info to improve my videos, so thanks again for that as well. Keep rocking it!
Now that's productivity! Great channel keep it up
This is a great behind the scenes video of the work that goes into making videos. Thanks for sharing this!
Excellent ideas, and congratulations!
10k after 100 videos and now 19k after 125 videos, good job Simon!
I really enjoy watching your videos. By the quality of your video it is very clear how much time and effort you put into them. keep up the great work. subscribed!
well i really enjoyed this video that you did. its really inspiring. im actually in college taking photography and videography as well and this really helped me. thanks
Awesome video! Rarely we see people really talking through the process like this!
I have been watching videos about film making with dslr's for a while now as it is something that I am really trying to get into. I have found your videos very helpful I just can't understand why your videos have a low amount of views compared to some that look very amateur I hope your videos explode with views soon.
thank you for your encouragement!
Wow! I had no idea so much went into this type of presentation. You always create awesome content. Thanks
More of this pleaseee. Tks for sharing :)
The harder you work, the better the reward. Excellent channel, keep it up.
Hats off to you. I put crazy amount of hours into my video because I'm the performer, camera man & editor. I always felt discouraged that some UA-camrs around me didn't put near to as much effort. But this is amazing that you stay consistent while uploading quality content & updating your website! Thanks for sharing your knowledge! What is the name of that program where you have the ''completed'' and all called? Mine is all on paper and I would like to switch to a similar system to you because the whole colour layout suits my personality haha.
Microsoft excel
Love you videos vadim. Keep up the good work
Thanks a lot bro :) Sajag Adhikari
+ImVxzR It isn't Excel, it's google docs.
Hi sir,
Thank you for all your efforts I really enjoy watching your channel.
Please continue the great work
太了不起了，能坚持每周都制作发布视频！非常有毅力和恒心！赞！
this was for 10,000.... Look how many you have now. Amazing man..
Thank you for this video, it was very useful. UA-cam is full of waffle, so I commend you for being succinct. To make a short, informative and concise video describing the lengthy process behind your short, informative and concise videos, is a real achievement.
+Pat Davey really glad to hear this, thanks for the encouragement Pat!
Dang. Your hard work really shows!! Thank you for this video
So much work... Very professional. Keep going my friend we love the show
great behind the scenes video Simon. Learned loads, thanks.
Thank You for this Simon...!
Inspirational...
A guided tour...
A home visit...
A close encounter...of the second degree...!
A workflow...Full of ideas and doings...
Very informative...and to the point...
One day...you will be...an excellent teacher...
Heck...you are already...!
Greetings from Denmark...Jakob.
thank you... Jackob!
great stuff man! And a really pro approach you take to your work!
thanks Alex!
So this is what you had planned! :)
This was awesome, I must start using some of this stuff!
You went a bit hard on contrast this time :/ Congrats for 10k Subs ^^
You take 2 full workdays for 1 video. That's good :) I usually take like forever because I'm not organized :)
This is awesome bro! I recently invested in an awesome software called plural eyes. Its about $300 but saves you a lot of time! I dont know if you have heard of it but it pretty much allows you to put several camera shots along with the audio and pretty much does all the work for you so that you can just chose whatever camera shot you want. I used to cut it but it can take quite a while... Definitely worth the money
I've learnt so much already from watching your videos. Big, big thank you!
An FAQ might be fun to film? As an idea :)
you are amazing! I enjoy all of your videos
