Filmmaking discussions on RU-vid tend to focus on the more fun parts of the process- FPV drones, transitions, etc. This video dives into a few less-exciting but incredibly important areas of filmmaking (composition, lighting, editing, and sound design).

Bro, the amount of work that went into this video (and in everyone of them)!!!! Setting up for multiple angles, the prep for the talking heads... Appreciate the grind man. Absolutely inspirational.

@bmcla34 2 года назад

I have definitely been focusing more on sound design, obviously I'm still learning, but i see the benefit and the depth that it brings to video/film. Composition is another thing I'm trying to get better at, thanks for the tips.

@AidinRobbins 2 года назад

Glad this could help out!

You're going to earn yourself millions of subscribers with this consistent quality, brother. Keep it up. Thanks for inspiring me to level up my filmmaking.

@WesleyProductions 2 года назад

These tips are gold! Definitely agree with all of these, especially in the outro when you said that filmmaking as a craft is all of those elements coming together and working towards a concept. Thanks for sharing this video! Love the vlog/tutorial style of you hiking!

Such useful and practical advice! How you present seemingly intimidating stuff makes it more approachable and doable, and just pumps us up to keep creating better content. Thank you!

Great tips as always 👌🏻

@SaltyBeard_Adventures 2 года назад

Aidin: You have no idea how much the deconstructed explanations of your creative content, workflow, and process have helped me grow from when I started as a noob trying to document my bicycle trips, to where I am in one year. While I'm very happy with my progress, but I have a great deal to learn along the road of developing those skills in the complex craft we call filmmaking. While equipment, time, and financial restraints hold some growth back, it also forces me to concentrate on other things that are more important, rather than getting caught up with "too much too soon" Thank you for giving all of us insight into your great work. One episode that has really stuck with me, was your PNW film, followed up by the sound editing. Thanks again.

@mikemiles3068 2 года назад

Always great advice❗️

@kaspergaram 2 года назад

Great video, as always 😊 As for the backlight, I wouldn't have the sun straight behind you but a bit to the side. In my opinion that creates a way more pleasing shadow and a more natural looking image all around

@vorkot1 2 года назад

Found you recently and you make such amazing video's! May I ask, what kind of aperture do you film on most of the time, and do you manually focus or use auto focus? I bought the Panasonic G85 recently. I am still trying to figure out what to keep my aperture on, and how I can work my way around the bad auto focus. Do you mind to maybe give some insight on how you work on your focus? Do you make long, drawn-out shots and try to use manual focus/auto focus to the best of your ability to keep up with the movement, or do you make very short clips and get the specific "look" you want for a specific B-roll clip? For example: you auto/manual focus on something, make the short clip you want (For example, a B-roll shot of grass moving in a forrest), stop recording, move to another person/item/angle, focus, shoot a short clip, repeat?

@trebelsworld 2 года назад

Hi Aidin, At 7:54 - when you have that nice foreground blur with the plant - are you using manual focus or autofocus? If you're focusing manually and are alone how do you set the focus if you're also the subject? Great content as always!!! Really appreciate the tips
