working on a mini series right now! been loving the content man, so much great info, real tips and knowledge. the series im working on is kind of like an auto-biographical mockumentary. I use all these super helpful videos on youtube to help organize and plan everything out. Really glad I subscribed to your channel because every time i watch one of your videos I dont get sucked into the youtube hole. I learn something or get inspired then I go create. Keep the videos coming!

So glad I’ve found this channel. Probably one of the few channels on here that deep dives into the ‘why’ and not just the ‘what’ of filming. So many channels are just technicians talking about their techniques and equipment. This channel is so incredibly refreshing. Storytelling is the heart of filmmaking and unless you can craft this art first and know WHY you are shooting, you could just end up shooting a soulless, aesthetically visual masterpiece with no true heart. Keep this sort of advice coming please man. I’m learning a lot
