Over the years I’ve gotten a lot of questions about how I make my videos, or video essays in general. And so instead of responding to each DM and comment one by one, I figured I would just try and put it all into one video. I’m by no means an expert, I’m far from the biggest and best video essayist on this platform, but this is just my process and some of the things I’ve learned in the 5 years I’ve been doing this. If you’re a beginner, this video is for you, but if you’re already making videos for the internet, maybe stick around, because I need you to catch when I’m doing something stupid. What's the best microphone for video essayists? What's the best camera for RU-vid? What's the best video editor? How do you get movie clips?
So this is how to make videos about movies for people on the internet.

As someone who has considered making video essays for quite a while but hasn’t because the process seemed long and a bit daunting, this video really helped both inspire me and demystified the process a lot so thank you so much for making this!

This is one of the best videos describing how RU-vid's copyright system works, so clear and simple!

@CharzBoi Год назад

as a "content creator" this video actually did inform me of some things I didn't know! do you think this'll just be a one-off video or do you think you'll make more like it in the future? (like how you make your prewrites/film pitches? as I'm currently trying to write a superhero story but am dealing with things like writers block, but seeing your process may help out)

Troy, don’t sell yourself short, you’re definitely one of the best video essayists about films and comics! Though, there are other channels out there who are also great. But thanks for the awesome videos and this one might come in useful for me so thanks!

@CineflickProductions Год назад

As someone who’s been doing video essays for maybe almost a year I will say when trying to do stuff like godzilla(favorite Franchise) it’s really hard to get footage because of course toho is very strict when it comes to copyright. So doing a vid I have planned will be fun to edit 💀

@HuneeBruh Год назад

When in doubt just add unrelated gaming footage

This will help so many people. Even if you make a lot of content already. There is always more to learn, so being able to hear your process really helps.

@JoshRazauskas Год назад

Oh my gosh, thank you so much! You have no idea how helpful this video was! I have been wanting to make essays at the next level forever and I’m so tired of just using Photos! I had no idea that USB disc player drives were still a thing! The last one that I had was years ago on a very old windows machine before I myself got an iMac and final cut pro. Now I have a tangible goal to hopefully make this a reality! I have cerebral palsy, and I really want to show that having a disability doesn’t mean that you can’t use your voice if you have one, and have something to say! Thanks again!

@JohnBradford14 Год назад

Here's a couple of helpful tip I learned (more to come periodically): -Slowing down/speeding up footage, adding a filter, or changing the color-grading can really help in preventing copyright strikes. -Have a video that did badly and a video that is doing very well? Link to the poorly performing one in your end card!

This video was extremely informative about making RU-vid content. I’ll have to check out Final Cut Pro someday and see what it is like. Also, I’m glad you also talked about how to deal with copyright claims, and strikes as well, something I think every RU-vidr would find annoying or scary

Is that copy of Everything Everywhere All at Once a hint you're gonna do an EEAAO video? If not would you consider doing one? I'd love to hear your takes on the movie as it's solidly the best movie I saw last year and probably my favorite movie of all time and I think it's a genuinely important message for most people! Also this video is super helpful!!!

@upshotMusicTV 4 месяца назад

If I don’t have the blue ray for the footage, where else I can I go for footage? If I screen record footage and keep it under 5-6 seconds will I still get a copyright claim?
