This video is so helpful and amazing. I had to stop in the middle of it to thank you for posting it. I've seen other videos w these topics BUT yours are ALWAYS my FAVORITE. some ppl have a lot of music, graphics, repetitive talking, ect. I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS Cause they're EASY TO FOLLOW, STRAIGHT TO THE POINT & STILL FUN TO WATCH. 😀😀 I also share your info w my friends to shoot & edit their videos. Keep up the good work Anita
Superb advice. The latest smartphones are excellent "B cams" / "C cams" to supplement your Primary cam....As you said,professional stabilization & audio is essential.
It was awesome explanation of all steps. I enjoyed very much. You have one of the best channels with direct explaining the topic and without fake funny ish jokes.
Finally! I've been searching all over RU-vid for how to film on my android. I've should've known to come to your channel first! Lesson learn. Thanks Justin!!
I love this video!!! From another android user like me I love these videos because they truly help everyone who wants to learn different tips and tricks like me!! 😃👍
Justin, I trully appreciate your content and the way (quality of audio, the "storytelling", your empathy, products and items referencing...) that you developed it. I'm feeling really thankful to have found this type of insightful and filmmaking creative knowledge. A hug from Brazil...
Hi Justin! Your videos are so intuitive they answers questions no sooner they pop in my mind. I can tell there is meticulous homework that has gone into every video that you post. Keep shinning your light on us. Am sure most viewers are making better videos after watching yours.
Thank you, Justin Brown and brother... I am so motivated and encouraged to enhance my website and serve Humanity online in the best way at this time. You're amazing!
Thank you, Justin! I shoot my videos on my galaxy s8 and sometimes I forget to clean off the front facing camera. Thanks for all the tips, awesome video! 👍👍
Yeah I am from nishachar entertainment you tube channel I made short movies by just a 12 mp camera mobile Thanks to this channel also I get many information from here 😀
Very helpful (all tips still relevant in 2021). Also would like to suggest a Bluetooth remote to start and stop recording that you can hold off screen in your hand, to avoid leaning forward to manually turn recording on/off.
going around in trying to download the link for both editing and camera tip list, good info and a lot to take on as a newbie, but not being able to get the download continues to be unsuccessful, given the info of name and email address was freely given.
Great video - thanks. I just started a series of videos for teaching using a Samsung S9+ after years on iPhone, so I used the old video for reference and it made a ton of difference. I didn’t realise you could lock the front facing camera so I’ll definitely try that one. I tried Open Camera but the phone just freezes - didn’t work for me. Love the channel.
Hello Justin, nice vídeo mate! Where are you talking from? I’m sure you’re an Aussie just by your accent. You look and sound very professional mate! Well done 👍🏻. It’s been great to learn a lot from your videos, thanks brother. I’m a Brazilian who’s living the dream in Perth for awhile, and now I’m setting up my own RU-vid channel, thanks for your great effort mate 🙏
This was excellent! Even looking at the native camera in my OnePlus 8, I didn't know you could tap on your face and increase/decrease the exposure in the front facing camera. Thank you, Justin, such excellent tips. Perfect for (relatively new) video newbies like me. I'm always looking for easy ways to improve my videos and my channel. BTW, You have an excellent channel and, what's more, you have an approchable demeanor, like a wise friend giving us the Heads UP. Some other folks are so hyper! Thank you! I've learned so much just today by watching some of your videos.
Hi Justin -- Love your videos--Thank you SO much! Question: What are you using in this video to mount your Yongnuo light (I see it at 1min 23sec of the video)? Looking for an alternative to place my lights at my desk in a way I don't have to stack boxes and books each time
Justin, thanks a lot for updated version of tutorial and reiterating fundamental tips of professional shooting. It was nice, concise and effective tutorial. I have one query as follows: Voice-over is generally done by connecting mic to laptop and using video editing software. This is the simplest method. Is there any other voice-over practice where one records voice separately (by using external recorder) and attempts aligning given audio with corresponding video by using video editing software? Reference scenario is - I am giving step by step demo on mobile for some utility app. Here I am shooting mobile screen (instead of screen capture) mutely to bring more engagement and then adding voice to it later. While shooting mobile screen I am sure you must have encountered some issues and then surmounted them. So it would be great if you share those best practices. Once again thanks for mentoring, guiding and motivating us 👍🏼
Thanks Digital Life, I'm not too sure what your question is here.. but if you use an external recorder you can sync the audio up with the recording in your editing, OR on Android and iOS if you're recording your phone screen you can record audio at the same time. On android, use the DU recorder app and that will do audio too.
Justin, thanks for response. 😀 My question was - is there any voiceover practice where you record your voice in the separate recorder (instead of laptop) and then try to align the recorded audio by using video editing software? But it seems that it will be complicated and rarely someone does that 😀 so better I'll proceed with the standard voiceover method. After seeing your videos on "shooting with smartphone", I gained confidence in smartphone's camera capabilities & postponed the purchase of DSLR camera 😉 Thanks again 😀👍🏻
I just started using my phone for my videos I thought man I need to find a video editor I was wrong my phone has a really good selfie camera and even better back Camara and it has a included video editor I was so surprised
I would like to ask how do we deal with overheating of the phone when doing videos. I used a sony xz and the video app at times shut down from overheating within 5mins or so. Or do you have other recommend options I would greatly appreciate. Thanks.
Hi, just saw your videos and the video quality is really amazing! I'm starting youtube channel and using smartphone to film my videos but not that good as yours. Btw I'm using Zenfone 3 max 5.5 and I'm open for your suggestions on how to improve my video quality. I'll subscribe to know more about mobile filming. Thanks very much!
You videos are the best I have seen on how to use Androids for creating videos. (And I have looked at a lot!). You cover a lot of content in each video. Do you use a teleprompter, and if so can you give some detail on what you use and where you set it up? If not, do you just do clips that are short enough for you to remember the content and then start another clip for the next bit of content? You're very natural on camera so I'd love to know what you do. :-)
Thanks! I use a teleprompter for a lot of videos when we're using an actual camera, not as much when we're using a phone like this one. This video might help you though as there are some cool android apps for filming with text on screen like a teleprompter: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-C7H8yzQU8gs.html
Anyone know if I can use the external mic on Galaxy A11. I searched and found it says to set something to external, but there is no such setting in camera or sounds. Driving me nuts trying to figuer this out to get better sound for RU-vid videos without having to hold my phone close to me!! So far I've just done live Facebook ideas and downloaded them to my computer then transferred to youtube. Got to be an easier way that is simple for a mic that works with my phone. I tried my Sony clip I use with my computer, but got some horrible noise!
This is all good stuff. In particular the items covering the basic bonehead errors that bedevil many early attempts, that can steal your enthusiasm. Been there, done that! One I'd add is getting comfy in front of a camera, and to keep your diction not over-hurried, also clear and precise. Better too - to lose as much as possible of any strong regional accent you may have. It's fine to sound Irish, Welsh, Aussie, American etc. But it should be a neutral version of whatever accent might be yours. To be as understandable as possible - to as many as possible. I've done many, many practice shots-to-camera that were only ever shot to get used to the rather odd process of talking to someone you don't know and who isn't even there! It can end up being very, very easy to ramble unnecessarily too. As might be seen by the length of this "brief" comment! :)
Great video. I really like the tips that you are giving and have started to make my own videos. Any suggestion how to avoid the sound of wind when shooting outside. I do shoot outside cooking videos if that info helps.
Justin, the Android pie update to my Samsung Galaxy s9 has completely removed all video manual controls and no more pro mode. What do you suggest? what are you going to do when they update your s8? Samsung seems to have no answer for this. Please help. Thanks.
Hi, I have followed loads of your videos and learnt most of what I am able to do now from you. But I have a problem. Can you help me on this: I am a newbie video maker (just course videos for Skillshare using my Samsung S8..my real thing is painting!) To get better lighting on my lesson subject, I bought a softbox with CFL bulb (and use other lights from around the room), and seem to understand that the strobe effect playing back in my videos is the fps rate and alternating current. By recording at 60fps 1080 FHD this seems to go away from playback, but, now my question is, If I edit then save at 30fps as required by Skillshare (I have learned how to use Handbrake to make it into a lighter file) will it ruin the playback on the platform? Or maybe there are better ways to record videos with my Samsung S8 to get a good and clear quality video? Thanks!!
