Theres so many things I can use to improve after watching this video. Right now it's only: Daydreaming about the video, sitting down and thinking of bullet points for broll shots, script making and finally recording a roll/b roll. I do prefer to "shoot for the edit" rather than oversaturate myself with possible footage ill never use.

Former TV producer here. I once shot a 30min documentary on the construction of a new cruise ship. The wharf said „Come on this day, we‘ll be doing that one thing.“ I came that day with my camera crew and they said „Oh, the night shift crew was ahead of schedule, so we already did that one thing you`re here for.” Yeah, that day all my planning went out the window and a few select NSFW words laters, we shot something completely different - and the documentary came out great…

@Adventurist 3 жыл бұрын

Thanks for sharing the process with us! What I found super interesting is when I heard that Casey Neistat barely plans anything and says that the story happens in the edit. Surely much more suitable to vlog style content than a proper "film". I believe everyone has to find their own process - some of my best videos were shot and cut within a few days and had no planning. On the other hand you sit down for weeks to plan the perfect video and you are just not feeling it. Videos have a fun way of sometimes just "happening".
