Great video overall, but you should employ some stronger Typography techniques Your font choice, the yellow, thin cursive, on a bright background is no bueno Legibility is minimal at best Just wanting to throw some constructive thoughts This is also the first video of yours I have ever seen So I am not sure what your typography has looked in the past, just basing it off this video here

Great tips

Great video man
Comment from : @BenBradyOfficial

Such a good video and I can agree on almost all points! the only one i still need to implement is 9 but I already have some ideas about others, sometimes it's easier to come up with stories you can document about others than it is for yourself, maybe thats a perspective thing Anyways great video!

I'm not a great filmmaker so take this with a grain of salt lol, but another one you can add is studying art outside of youtube Learn how Chloe Zhao's experience as a bartender may have helped her with directing the characters in Nomadland, learn what drove Robert Frank to give photography a shot and what he looked for in his photographs, watch old movies from the 1960s like Easy Rider and look into some of the people who made the film in a totally not creepy way, study painters/sketch artists/etc People's videos look the same because they all get their inspiration from the same places So new people should start looking for inspo in different places if they want to create something new

never understood how your channel hasn't blown up yet

This really spoke to me There are so many videos out there that I’ve watched with “words of wisdom” that ultimately ended up not really being that I think it was number 7 that was my favorite I was just thinking about it this morning while watching yet another video of “spectacular cinematic footage” Yes, every frame looked magnificent but it was all flat because there was no contrast to the shots Nothing stood out and, although it was all great, it was also all boring It takes decades to know and understand this, as obvious as it sounds Anyway, your video imparts true words of wisdom and I really enjoyed it

Also Resolve is not that good for VFX atp 😭 It's definitely getting there, but After Effects just has more plugins and tools that make it a lot easier since it's been popular for longer DR is sooo limited when you want to do some creative unusual VFX and you just have to figure it out from scratch, or you just can't do it as well/ at all and I've just been getting exhausted with it Even Magic Mask is so annoying to use compared to Rotoscope The plugins are getting a LOT better though and I feel like it can catch up to After Effects in like 3-5 years if we get more people that care about VFX to create more plugins etc for it As of now I feel like it's only the best in coloring but that probably won't even matter to a lot of people with all these LUTs now a days lol

1 should be watch BETTER youtube not watch less youtube A lot of people I see in field that I'm in literally just watch, Gawx (not that there's anything wrong with him but literally everyone is trying to copy him), camera tech vids, basic advice vids, and a lot of people who know how to hold a camera but don't know how to make actual creative videos (post cards, how to make your life cinematic vids) There's soooo many great films and creatives on youtube, a lot that make content better than some movies I've seen

As someone who started in ski movies I can assure you it’s a great adventure and the memories will last me a lifetime, unlike the money that didn’t allow us to do that as out only job So you missed out in a few ways, but also skipped a ton of hardship and years of being financially insecure

lol glad you shouting out resolve as I started learning resolve and purchased a license TODAY!! 🎉
Comment from : @TheGreenTableHome

Watching less YouTube is sooo hard😫🤣because there’s so much great info on here, but you can also get caught up in comparing yourself to others, especially if you want to start your own channel

I am currently trying to learn how to edit I’ve used Final Cut and Premiere but didn’t really like it I have been thinking about using Resolve This sealed the deal for me

Comment from : @TuckerPearce

Dude… feel like I’m at the same place in life in so many of your examples haha Just picked up an sr2 and stumbled upon ur vid the other day I’ve found myself artistically opening up by creating music, reading, and spending way less time on YT recently Are you in LA?
Comment from : @BowenMoreno

This shit rocks
Comment from : @Yanduwei

My channel is all about other people, trail and ultra runners from all walks of life and you hit the nail on that one, over a dozen documentaries and its been a slow crawl to 5k subscribers But pointing the camera the other way has been one of lifes best adventuresbrbrAnd you put a huge smile on my face when you said shoot less slow motion, i have steered clear, always trying to think how can a story of endurance and raw landscapes be told better through 24fps and it has without a doubt improved my approach to film-making no end The only time I would argue for slow motion is wildlife identification, such as a bird in flightbrbrFor resolve, I edit in Kdenlive but I am a huge FOSS supporter, it is also coming with resolve support this year so that edits can be exported and put in to resolvebrbrAppreciate the video and the channel after recently coming across from Reddit

11:18 lmaooo
Comment from : @lucaswedel

Dude, nr 9 I needed to hear that I mean, so much of our lives is other people, things and places And it's so easy to get in your head about making stuff with yourself as the main character I also just don't want to just capture myself, I am interested in letting other people's stories shine I mean, if you are even a little bit better than a dad filming his daughter ice-skate and never look at that footage again, you have the power to give other people time to shine and even shine with them Even in smaller ways Very cool Paldies!

Resolve is amazing BUT my laptop hates it lmaooo because it takes up so much of my 8gb memory

Comment from : @Filmcutsio

Thanks Shaffer! This helped me out quite a bit, is so good! Whats your thoughts on how stingy you should be with giving your footage to other brands BC I get friends, but brands can take advantage of you Loved this vid!
Comment from : @davidsfilmmaking

Thanks for the tips daddy
Comment from : @ehliogomme

Loved this video, making videos about other people made a lot of sense, thanks Shaffer!
Comment from : @AndrikLangfield

Thanks, Shaffer, great tips!
Comment from : @Howtogetfluent

but I've become so accustomed to Premiere Pro nowbrbr#1 might be the most important Producing things that are more attuned to your own rhythms rather than the homogenized summation of the YouTube sludge / your idea of what people what to see is better for us allbrbr((PS Shaffer, in the book doc Player Piano has Dandelion Wine's link))
Comment from : @burgesssam

hours spent transferring the editing workflow from premiere to davinci have been validated! brfeels like all I do is watch movies and reed, added two books from the list to my plan, thanks for recommendation
