To me, this is the essence of photography. It's not the gear, but the creative ways a photographer bends him or herself (and the camera) to achieve a great picture or video clip.
Brilliant! Thanks! A variation on Towel & Table that we've used is Rug & Cinematographer: camera person sits on a rug, holding the camera. Pull the rug to dolly in or out. Yeah, you need a smooth floor.
Man, you arethe first youtuber, whom I saw doing the "strap handles" I actually found this technique myself few weeks ago. I'm glad that you shared this with the people❤️
Great video! My gimbal is heavy and not very user-friendly, so your tips on stabilizing footage without a stabilizer are super helpful. Thanks for sharing these 5 ways to stabilize your footage without a stabilizer!
I just came across your videos in a UA-cam suggestion. While I’ve been a photographer for a little while, I’m just starting to experiment with video and don’t really want to buy a bunch of stuff I don’t need or can’t afford yet. Thank you so much for these tips. I can’t wait to try them out..:)
+1 for all these. I've used the camera strap around the lens before seeing your vid. People I've taught laugh when I say the fall over or also I use the the lean back or fade away shot as I call it. Wish I was more confident on camera and didn't HATE the sound of my own voice as I've been doing photography and film for 10 years for myself and various companies and have loads of tips and tricks!
I've recently started getting into photography and film, but I feel like I don't have the confidence to actually put myself out there and do this to actually get paid. So any tips?
@@alsaeijasim Hi! I posted this reply a year or so ago from my wedding and portrait account. We are now doing all our commercial work under my commercial content brand @IMPACT20twenty (ua-cam.com/channels/wAfEB14F-Zzzaw5BdGiweg.html ) . If you're already good on a camera, editing, lighting etc then I guess a good tip to get started would be not to try to pitch too high and NEVER over commit or promise something you can't deliver. It's a surefire way to not get repeat business and those people might tell other people so you're shooting yourself in the foot from the off. Another tip would be to "Shoot what you love" so you stay in love with what you're shooting - don't just shoot something boring if you hate it (unless it pays very well ;-) . ) We love story telling, filming interviews for case studies and bigging up great brands or new startups. For us, seeing a business flourish because of what we've done to help them is one of the biggest buzzes! We started commercial shooting by getting touch with some local businesses that we saw needed help with their content. That first business was super happy with the work we did and told other businesses. If you keep getting happy clients the growth is exponential. We increased our client base 450% over the course of 2020, during covid. We were being safe, working safetly and consideratly, because we could (a lot of our work at the time was either outdoors, shooting in places where we were on our own or all the time 2m or more apart - a lot of it is also graphic and web design/web management work which we do remotely). If you want to learn HOW to shoot content or how to get into media production, my biggest tip would be to talk less, listen more :-) . By that, I'm not being rude, but essentially, have your eyes and ears open and absorb as much as you can from those oldies who have been doing it for years and haven't had time to post anything we do online, do vlogs/blogs on it all because we move from job to job to job constantly. Try to get in with a film or content creator and watch and learn - help carry kit at first and then absorb everything, constantly learning along the way; from how we set tripod and lighting heights based on how tall someoene is, down to the seemingly little things that can save kit (and lifes), like cable management (boring...yawn but if a client trips over a cable you're liable). I pay people to help carry and setup kit and then when on set they help monitor sound levels, keep an eye on battery levels, change lenses and batteries, setup gimbals and all the time being mindful about safety for us and the client. All of it is *how we do stuff*, it's not just how to take a good photo or film a great shot. Another tip, for when you get busy, is learn to say NO to clients. "No, I'm afraid we're too busy", is a powerful thing to say. Obviously, dont't do it if you aren't already flatout but if you are, don't over stretch yourself. Take it from me, it'll only lead to stress. Lastly.... be humble. The brash "YO, Hire me because I'm THA SHIT!" Might work for a couple people, but it doesnt wash with the majoroity of clients. Have I missed anything? I expect I have.... I'll put all that in a blog post sometime... when I get time. Justin http//instagram.com/IMPACT20twenty
@@JustinKrausePhotos damn thanks so much for the help, it's actually really useful. I recently purchased an online film maker course and it taught me about lighting, gear, audio, manual mode on camera and editing with 3 different softwares. But thanks a lot for the advice, it's really helpful, I also just subbed to your commercial channel
I'm just starting out and really can't afford a stabilizer so this video is such a great help! Truly love ppl who can get creative with the resources they have !
Oh god !! U don’t know how much u helped me !😍 I’m about to apply for video competition and ur video really helped me cuz i can’t afford staples prices..😔 Thanks a lot 💜💜💜💜💜
Thank you for the tips. I went into a gym the other day, and they told me no tripod, and that everything had to be done handheld. So, these tips would have come in handy. Now I know.
Man, I was really needing this video, thanks so much. I was so anxious to go out and buy some new stuff to start my project that this reminded me that I need to be creative before luxurious. lol. Thanks!
bro, soy colombiano y realmente le he sacado provecho a "stabilization Tip 2" : camera strap handles, es uno de los mejores consejos que he visto para grabar si no contamos con un gimbal, muchas gracias.
The second one looks like a good idea, but would it but stress on part where the lens mounts to the camera? I'd hate to damage my camera to save a few bucks when a handle or cage could have been used.
good tips... like the towel bit! That was a smooth treflip btw. One more tip for anyone reading, rollerskates are EVEN smoother assuming you got a little bit of skillz.
The fall over is the best methode when filming near cliff edges.. love it
I love when people get creative with whatever resources they have in hand.

Hello
To me, this is the essence of photography. It's not the gear, but the creative ways a photographer bends him or herself (and the camera) to achieve a great picture or video clip.
Only broke people say that
The camera strap idea is brilliant and so less intrusive than a gimbal or glidecam.
That wedding photographer though! ( 3:25 ) 😂😂
Orisha Life hahah 🙇
That alone earns a like.
Brilliant! Thanks! A variation on Towel & Table that we've used is Rug & Cinematographer: camera person sits on a rug, holding the camera. Pull the rug to dolly in or out. Yeah, you need a smooth floor.
Many Thanks, Dean!! Happy Holidays and New Year to you, my Brother
Same to you!
The crazy weading Photographer was the best.
😂😂
Wedding?
lol I watched it 5 times and on the last one I paused per frame and it was even funnier
Photographer? hahaha no comment.
I don't see myself ever doing wedding stuff, but if I did that would definitely be me
Wow! The camera strap on the lens is simply genius! I just tried as soon as I saw the opening image and it's incredibly effective!! Thank You sir!
Man, you arethe first youtuber, whom I saw doing the "strap handles" I actually found this technique myself few weeks ago. I'm glad that you shared this with the people❤️
This is the best way but,there is a trap i want to know that how would you manual focus when using this technique
Nice, simple, no cost techniques. Excellent. Thank you
Always more fun and interesting when people are resourceful rather than suggesting more equipment
Especially if you can't afford said equipment. I find that in any profession, it's not about the tools, but how the tools are used.
Great video! My gimbal is heavy and not very user-friendly, so your tips on stabilizing footage without a stabilizer are super helpful. Thanks for sharing these 5 ways to stabilize your footage without a stabilizer!
extent work you did
and
lot of the thanks
Thank you!!
Greetings from Brazil 🙏

I love the way you talk and your energy man
finally. an actually very useful UA-cam video that doesn't endorse wasting your money on equipment! thank you so much :D
Glad you liked it!
The fall over technique is so fun. The handle technique i really have to remember, thanks for the video!
Excited to try these on my first paying videography job!! Just discovered you channel and really like your vibe and aesthetic.
Ah thanks so much! your support means the world to me🙌🏼🙏🏼

Never seeing a clever cameraman like you.. I love your steps ❤️✅🌹
I'm just starting out and really can't afford a stabilizer so this video is such a great help! Truly love ppl who can get creative with the resources they have !
"that camera strap around the lens blew my mind" -Kris
I think I'm going to buy a handle, tried this and I found it really wobbly, but it's my Canon M50 so it's pretty small.
DUDE THAT SECOND METHOD IS SO SICK OMG THANK YOU FOR THIS
Loved it! 4,years old and still valuable ❤
Thanks bro this was very useful. I actually prefer using the neck strap over a gimbal.
i like the second one! original and creative. gonna test it soon
one of the best most amazing videos ive seen
That was the most comprehensive and generous share of information I have ever seen. Thank you so much
Marvellous tips thanks!
Oh god !! U don’t know how much u helped me !😍 I’m about to apply for video competition and ur video really helped me cuz i can’t afford staples prices..😔
Thanks a lot 💜💜💜💜💜
Thank you for the ideas! What i liked the most was the 1st and 2nd..gotta try these later.👍👍
thanks ive learned alot. i wanna learn more how to be a videographer so fascinating to watch
The strap trick is awesome and change my life as I carry my camera like that now!I love it!Cheers man for sharing it with us!
Thank you for the tips. I went into a gym the other day, and they told me no tripod, and that everything had to be done handheld. So, these tips would have come in handy. Now I know.
You all are amazing! Thank you for sharing.
Man, I was really needing this video, thanks so much. I was so anxious to go out and buy some new stuff to start my project that this reminded me that I need to be creative before luxurious. lol. Thanks!
Dope!! Love that second idea definitely gonna try it 🙏🏿
Yoo i was just about to get a skateboard for my camera use lol! Great tips homie!
Any tips for ultra zoom stabilisation?
bro, soy colombiano y realmente le he sacado provecho a "stabilization Tip 2" : camera strap handles, es uno de los mejores consejos que he visto para grabar si no contamos con un gimbal, muchas gracias.
Big kudos! Nice video... ZA in the house!
Definitely trying these next week!
Thank u so much my guy
We loved the table cloth idea - so simple - we will use that tomorrow!
Creative indeed. Love it, I'm going to try all of them out. Thanks man.
the best and creative thing I've see i salute you
Thank you so much!
I will be getting a lot use out of the neck strap stretch & the strap under the lens methods. Thanks!
So happy it helped you!!
The 2nd one is super creative and soooo helpful! Thank you!
The thumbnail w/#2 is what got me to watch this worth a thumbs up alone.
The second one looks like a good idea, but would it but stress on part where the lens mounts to the camera? I'd hate to damage my camera to save a few bucks when a handle or cage could have been used.
That wedding photographer is my spirit animal LOL
The Big Step, love it! Thanks, going to try some of these free things before buying a gimbal.
Your super creative and I cant wait to try out the towel pull method! Thanks!
Thank you for your contribution and hard work. Thank you very much.
Very useful tips Brother. Thanks for making this
That tip number 2 that happened by accident is great - def gonna try that when following my kids around in the backyard
good tips... like the towel bit! That was a smooth treflip btw. One more tip for anyone reading, rollerskates are EVEN smoother assuming you got a little bit of skillz.
Haha yes that would be awesome too! I’d probably fall and break my camera though 😂
Thank you man you helped me a lot.... btw what is the name of the fonts in the video for example in 1:15 they look really good together.
This is the exact video I was looking for today. Thanks :)
What coincidence! I was using 5 of six methods for my own experience
What's the 1
Thanks for the tips, I wish you could show all those shots you got from those moves!
Hello Dean - your creative solutions are just great! Many thanks for sharing.
Method 2 is 🔥🔥 thank you.
This was very useful, and I will use this at work as a real estate photographer. Thank you.
Watching from Angola Africa great content and explanation
I tried the "The Fall Over" Method, and now, my Camera is on my Grandma's trash can.
the hanging camera strap tip is priceless!!!
I find so helpful and creative... thanks for sharing 😊
Thanks so much! Is there anything else you’d like to know/see?
Great tips! I'll definitely try to apply them in my videos!
Perfect thumbnail bro! 😂😂❤ Its a very clever idea to stabilize footage!!
heeey electric skateboard companies can one of you sponsor this talented creative guy already !
The strap and lens idea is beautiful, thank you, I will be using this on an island without roads where no skateboards can go! (and I subscribed!)
Have fun!
The “Fall-Over” was pretty badass ngl 😂
As soon as I heard that accent I just knew it... Big ups bro, great tips ... very useful 🇿🇦
Haha thank you so much!
