    This was really really helpful Becki! For my other channel, I've been desperate to make more vloggy content but always find myself just not getting enough footage, or not the right footage, or not having a set plan to follow. This has given me some perspective and structure. Good job!

    Theres so many things I can use to improve after watching this video. Right now it's only: Daydreaming about the video, sitting down and thinking of bullet points for broll shots, script making and finally recording a roll/b roll. I do prefer to "shoot for the edit" rather than oversaturate myself with possible footage ill never use.

  • @Adventurist
    @Adventurist 3 роки тому

    Thanks for sharing the process with us! What I found super interesting is when I heard that Casey Neistat barely plans anything and says that the story happens in the edit. Surely much more suitable to vlog style content than a proper "film". I believe everyone has to find their own process - some of my best videos were shot and cut within a few days and had no planning. On the other hand you sit down for weeks to plan the perfect video and you are just not feeling it. Videos have a fun way of sometimes just "happening".
