How To Tell STORY In A VLOG 

Merry Christmas Everyone! I so appreciate every one of you who contribute to this community. I think its awesome that we can all learn together and I'm so grateful to have this channel! Love you guys! 🙌

Thanks Matti. Just here brushing up on my skills. Checking out a bunch of your and Peter's videos.

I loved the action sequences! I have an outdoor channel and filming the action scenes are the most challenging part. Great tips on telling a story, I learned quite a bit.

Matti, thank you very much for breaking it down so well! You're absolutely right, people talk about telling a story, it usually feels so "ethereal" and as if I can't grasp it.. but you summarized it SO WELL These are my personal notes from this video: - Have 1 point / topic / journey - Think ahead and film it in a beginning/middle/end structure - Make sure you have a clear wrap/resolution - Stay present throughoug, and avoid just documenting... Thank you so much man! I'm looking forward to using these tips 💯💯💯

I really enjoy your videos. Especially you and Peter together; so much knowledge there. Merry Christmas and much love.

Wishing you and your lovely family a wonderful, joy filled and peaceful Christmas. Cheers with Christmas bells on JT

Happy holidays Matti and to the family as well!!! Great Canadian content.

Merry Christmas Matti! You have had one hell of a year man and it's been awesome to be by your side and learn from you. I have learned a ton from you this year and slowly helping my vlogs and youtube channel out for sure. Cheers man and enjoy the holidays with your family! Go get those TravelFeels!

That way of snowboarding seems so much fun! Happy holidays!

Merry Christmas Matti, good to see you and Peter filming together, you both have similar styles and compliment each others work beautifully. All the best to you and your family for Christmas and the New Year 👍

Merry Christmas to you too. I actually found you through Peter’s channel and immediately subscribed. Been enjoying your videos ever since. Thank you for the work, cheers.

You just blowed my mind with those simple said words, but with a lots of meanings! Thank you! Wish you a merry Christmas and amazing holidays!

Love it! Great topic and great production as normal. Always awesome seeing my favourite RU-vidrs collaborating!

Another great video with you and Peter. Keep up the great work and Merry Christmas!

All of your videos are super helpful, and this one is no exception! Telling a story through video footage is something I've really been working hard at, I still have a lot to learn and a long way to go but, this definitely helps! Thanks!

Merry Christmas! I just want to say this video deserve 1 million likes! The things that you said about how to tell a story are pure gold!!! You'r awesome !

One of the best video tutorials of the year. Chapeau!

Super thankful for your videos Matti. 🙏🏼 Such a professional quality and beautiful storytelling. Add to this the educational value that you’re providing.. 💙You’re the dopest Finnish dude living in Canada. 😉 Hyvää joulua! 🎄🎅🏼

Great video Matti!! Merry Christmas and thanks for this years content 👍🏻🎥📸

I always wondered where was the story in stories. Now I know. Great video!

I've been hearing alot about story from some of my favorite RU-vid rs like you and Peter. At first I don't understand what story actually meant but over time it's starting to make more sense. Story is important and we all have a story to tell. Great video Matti

I love seeing Matti and Peter get together for videos. These guys are awesome!

Thanks Matti. Story telling is definitely a project. Appreciate the tips

I've been focusing on gear most if 2017, but recently started diving into the story telling. So yourf timing is perfect, thanks and have a Merry Christmas with your new baby!

Great video as usual!! Love the channel!!

I really liked this video Matti, super helpful and great story. Plus your edit was great!

Great Vid dude! Good advice, and also nice cameo from Peter. Thanks for your hard work and Merry Christmas and a Happy new year.

Merry Christmas! Thanks Matti!

Great video Matti! Learned a lot. Btw, I love those low vlog shots.

Merry Christmas from The Netherlands Matti! I enjoy your videos and discovered your channel because I am watching Peters videos for a while now (I’m subscribed from around 300K) and he brought me to your channel. I’m glad I discovered this! Keep up the good work! Hopefully you come to The Netherlands too one day!

Its awesome to see peter and travel fresh together in a vlog really britghtens up my day

Thank you for explaining this. Nicely done!! I have been learning how to tell a story

Hope you have a Merry Christmas too Matti. Thank you for all the tips on storytelling. It was very helpfull. Thanks for your time !!!

Awesome video! love seeing both your versions of the same day.

Thank you Matti for the great tutorial & vlog!

Excellent advice, thank you. Like watching life in a parallel universe, seeing Peter's take on the day and then yours. Interesting that you were together and yet he was talking about the 6D, you were doing the blogging advice and the only overlap was the snow. Happy Christmas!

SO glad to see you guys mixing up the shots! When you went to Iceland I was wondering why all the shots were of Peter is crispy slow mo. You are really taking your brand to the next level. Keep it going man! Greetings from Jamaica

Not every video has to have story, but it MUST be entertaining. Which is exactly what you do so well. Love your channel!

That initial cinematic shot coupled with that track..... FIRE!!!

Merry Christmas Mattie, and everybody! Best Wishes from Poland guys!

Thanks Matti! Really digging the content, it's super helpful!

Super helpful Matti! Thanks for this. I’ve just started out and will use these tips.

This is by far one of the best videos to understand! I'm trying to make my yard sale hunting/ EBay reselling videos interesting. Right now my vids are flops. Thank you for this video!👍💓🌷

Loved this! Storytelling is so important. I learnt that lesson deeply recently. I sent an earlier version of my "my 2017" cinematic video to a friend, and I'd busted my butt to get it really cool looking, so I was hoping for the thumbs up. But instead he said, "yeah... It looks cool, but it's just a series of pretty shots. It doesn't tell me anything." and after I brushed my ego off the floor I decided to listen. And so I made it again. And he was SO right! Now there's a story. "My 2017" is really all about my journey of leaving my job to be a full time photographer, and sharing all the adventures I've had. Now the video means something. I'm really proud of it. Merry Christmas!!

Sick Vlog Matti, loved it!!

inspiring videos Matti! Love your and peter content!!

Happy holidays! Thanks for everything! 😁

Love this ! Editing, cinematography, music, lighting is too cool !!

thanks for the info man! currently learning vlog techniques, looking forward to the future!

These vlogs are so helpful, I definitely have a long way to go, but your videos teach so much! Keep doing you man!

I like that you hit on what many do with their vlogs where they simply describe what their doing. I've been unsubbing from channels that do this and you put it into words as to why I've done this. Love the content guy! Ehh!

This video was really good. Your camera moments and editing are out of this world.....oh ya and the story was not bat either :)

The way you presented about the storytelling, it seems very easy to understand. Thank you so much for your sharing.

Thanks for taking the time to share... Super helpful and inspiring.

We are full time traveling and VLOGing in 2018, and this info was AWESOME! Thanks for the tips!

i love how you guys support each other, your outputs inspire me!

wow. wow. wow. that part where you guys are gearing up and getting ready to go.. love all those shots!

You have no idea how happy I am that you uploaded this video! I been trying to do stories in a vlog but somehow it never worked for me. You put out some great tips and I will definitely follow this next time I vlog! Merry Christmas! 😊

i live watching both you and Peter, when you guys colab. it's cool seeing the same thing from 2 different perspectives!

Dude so happy you guys are crushing it and being successful. Hope to take the leap one day. Love the vids

This really inspired to look at making vlogs differently.... I’ve always thought crap no one cares about what I do all day. But you’re right, if there’s a story to it somewhere, it’ll become interesting. Thanks Matti!

This is sick!!! I've been looking for a video like this for a while!

Merry Christmas, looking forward to more of your great vids in the new year.

Hey Matti, this is one of the most needful vlogs.. thank you much

Absolute power team. I really enjoy when you two work together. I also liked how your video demonstrated exactly what you were explaining. You made it click for me, and i will be applying it from now on. Thank you.

SO GLAD I FOUND YOUR CHANNEL! Subscribed 🤗 Thanks again for this upload!!

Awesome tips on how to create a story!! Loved the way this video turned out

You guys are the BEST or should i say the BEAST of doing all of this. LOL. Thank you a lot. :D Merry Christmas Matti!

You’re such an inspiration. Merry Christmas to you and your family 😊

I do videos of America's National Parks with my family. Your advice and example was really helpful. Thanks and Merry Christmas!

Thanks for the tips Matti! Definitely gonna focus more on planning out what my videos are about and if the story is strong enough :)

A lot to learn from these amazing people...thanks for sharing all this.

Thanks Mattih and merry Christmas to you and your family

I always strive to tell a story with my vlogs. Still learning, but I feel I’ve gotten better. Awesome vlog!

One of my favorites you have made! Great job and keep it up.

thanks for the tips Matti, I gotta be stepping up my storytelling😏👊

Merry Christmas to you to.Very helpful stuff.

Super tips! Totally agree. I normally think about it before a day and then execute.

I love your videos! Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us!

I just started vlogging and while i've heard this before. I feel you explained it better than anyone else I've watch! This video definitely deserves more than 50k views. Great work bro, very encouraging and helpful!

Hey Matti merry xmas man ! Have a great time with you family, enjoy all good moments and thanks for sharing all these awesome tips to tell a great story... see you next video ! 😉

This reminds me of my younger days and puts a huge smile on my face! Thanks for making this man! The storytelling while filming 'How to tell a story' very Meta! That song too for the b-roll and the snowboarding sequence, HUGE fan of it!

Watching this video two years later, I'm that vlogger that says everything he is doing LOL. Totally new to this all and so happy to have people like Matti to help us tell better stories !

Your tips are always helpful and effective!

Merry Christmas Matti. Love you.

I've been looking for something like this for a while! Thank you :) I'm loving the content you keep on putting out, including the steadycam video. I guess the part I struggle with while vlogging is sometimes you don't know how the day will go. So while you can wrap it all up at the end, getting the video started / intro is hard. Just gotta keep practicing!

Thanks for this Matti! Chris and I are really trying to improve our storytelling, so this was super helpful! Merry Christmas to you and yours!

Awesome video! It's funny how I have been researching online on how to tell better stories so I can improve my videos. Then you come out with this, awesome timing man! Great Video!

Well said Matti! Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays to you and the fam :)

Thank you so much for your tips. Really glad you do this. You have helped me with some great tips. I’m just starting to learn to make videos and it’s been great so far

Matt, you make grear content. Absolutely love it

Merry Chrismas Matti and again a great video.

I’m glad you made this video, I’ve been struggling trying to figure out how to do that with my channel/videos. My channel is more of a support forum but I want to do something more than talking heads. It sure if my niche would work with that but your video really broke it down and gave me something to think about! Thanks for that. -Duane

you a Peter are so awesome! yall should totally do a vlogging master class in Toronto this summer cuz I would be there in a heartbeat
