Creating a Cinematic Hiking Video | BTS Demonstration + 5 Tips 

You're a natural teacher. You take the art of filming, and break it down into simple steps that anyone can follow. I really enjoy the way you present. Thanks for your efforts :)

Appreciate Thomas the way you have simplified the art of making Hiking travel videos. No Fluff, straight to the point. A big Thumbs up & High Five.

One day i will be famous because of your tutorials

Another amazing tutorial, Thomas! Yeah, I’m officially addicted to your tutorials. I’m also enjoying the LIFE CAPTURE ACADEMY, it’s worth all the penny and much more. You’re an amazing teacher! Love your humor in your tutorials here on YT, they bring so much humanity and positivity. Thank you for sharing your beautiful world with us!

Thank you Thonas Alex, I really love these Behind the Scenes videos. I am excited for the weather to be warming up to get out and try some of these techniques.

Wish I saw this last week. I did an overnight hike and was very disappointed in my crop of videos. I think I’ll keep watching. Thanks!

Please create a patron so we can thank you for this! Or a way to PayPal you for it. You continue to demystify this for me. Finally starting to get it. You’re basically showing us how to ‘express our own experience’ with the film-making craft. And you show in detail how you translate emotional personal experience with film-craft. Don’t ever take for granted how much you know and already forgot. That’s what I love that you seem to do. You remember all the noob stuff and bring it in for comparisons with the why it’s a noob behavior. Keep it up!

Great tips! It’s always good to get some inspiration for new camera angles. I recently started to film all of my hikes. Next month I will be hiking in Austria. Can’t wait to try these tips 😄

I like how natural and humorous you appear in the video. Thanks for the tips. I'd definitely want to try them in my next hiking.

you are my newest teacher..in my opinion you have shown something very creative in producing videos without having to spend a lot of capital to buy all the equipment..thank you ..

I just applied these tips in my new upload - my solo hike in Switzerland!

Always enjoy seeing the finished product bringing all of the techniques presented together and showing what's possible.

What a great piece. Very informative structurally, technically, but also feel and personality. The bits of humour and/or pleasant errors are really the perfect bow to tie it all together. Terrific job, I’m winter camping tomorrow, will certainly try your tips out! Thanks!

Thomas, excellent video. Loving these BTS teaching, and with the screen in screen... bonus. Thanks brother. Very good use of SFX, the steps, the feel of the tree, birds, breeze through the branches and the surf.... nothing was to loud, just enough to know it's there. I've seen some b-roll that the SFX's are far to loud.

I am SOO HAPPY to have watched this video! I'm going on a hike for the first time tomorrow so I had no idea how to film that kind of content! Thank you so much for this amazing video, I hope my video is going to be as good as yours ! ✨💙

Great video! Loved the touch of humor here and there 🖤 Would love to try these tips... but alas, we still have sheets of icy snow all over. It isn't easy filming when your feet can't stay put 😂

Thank you man. This is exactly the type of thing my channel is all about. Can't wait to put these tips into action next time I am out.

I'm really glad to see this video of yours. I like the way you express yourself through what you know, I find this tutorial very natural and effortless. Kudos! so much love form the Philippines!

Thanks! I needed this! Informative, inspiring and fun to watch! Simply a great tutorial! 😊👍

In short, you are the best Thomas, Thanks. Going on a 3 week trek next week (EBC), with all your cinematic tips in hand!

I learned so many things in this video tutorial. Thank you for this video.

Thanks for the tips, I also find that having a light weight tripod can be great for capturing still shots that can really help the viewer focus in on a view or landscape. Great video!

Awesome information here! Thanks for all of these tips. I have been wondering how to make my walking videos less uninteresting so these tips will definitely come in helpful! 👍🏼💪🏼

Love the video! Thanks for sharing this tutorial Thomas. Lots of love.

Thank you! I learned alot and apply to my next climb. Hoping see more of your tutorial.

This was great, love these bts videos. And its usually I feel one with nature after I dump in it.

You make it all looks so effortless. Glad I got names to some of the techniques I do naturally. Thanks for the tips 😊🙃

This had got me inspired to bring out my GoPro again! Great videos man, and also nice soundtrack in the back. You really know how to give instruction but show clear examples so there’s no confusion even in the thinking process of making them. :)

It´s all about the journey 👍🏻 filmmaking is a passion 😉 good video like always Thomas 👏

Hell yeah,I've been looking for tips like this.I think I'm just going to incorporate these tips to my running videos,just change it up a little bit. Thank you man,Awesome content.

Can't wait to watch!!👍👍👍

i really enjoyed this video and will help me out so much as my videos are getting boring as I'm just filming random things and i wanted to add in more fun and good shots as well into it but never knew how so this will help out so much thank you.

Very useful advice. Thanks for putting this together!

Thanks for the tips! Your BTS with screen on screen is a great help to how we could make such a cool cinematic B-Roll for beginners like me. I would definetely try and apply it in my next video..

Thank you for such an amazing tutorial! I'll go hiking tomorrow, hopefully will be able to film my journey :)

Thank you so much for this video. I’m excited to start trying these concepts. 😀

Bud it's always nice to see your tutorials and i agree that's insane what you can do with a point shoot camera, got a canon g7x mark 2 and it's still a beast for b roll i think 😉👌 thanks for the video keep going man 💪
