Not a single second is wasted in this videos, you're an absolute master at this. Thank you

Rule of thirds to db levels. Light colour temp to cardioid pattern. This half hour video is a masterclass! Well done for giving this content away for free 🙏

Parker, I swear, you're the only creator on KZfaq who's videos I don't dread watching when I look at the video length. Watching a 25 minute video of yours is worth every second because you don't waste a single one of them.

I’m a professional photographer who’s made the decision to get into video. I’m just setting up my kit and researching my ass off on everything video. This video is by far one of the best of the hundreds of hours I’ve watched so far. Thank you for taking the time to share content like this.

"I bought this camera just for this tutorial" **Financial adviser death stare intensifies**

When Parker uploads, you know you won’t be disappointed. Thanks for another great video!

Our business is moving into the online space - after scouring many tutorials on KZfaq this is hands down the best condensed value in 24 minute by far! Brilliant work Parker!

Holy moly! You literally covered every little detail to get professional looking results and you did it with less than $1K!! Insane. My mind is blown. I can't even right now. You're about to put 50% of us videographers out of business.

this video is pure GOLDDD

This couldn't have come at a more perfect time. I'm filming a Interview next week and this is exactly what I needed! Much appreciated 🙏🏽

I have to be honest. Whenever I see your ads pop up, it completely turned me off and I never gave them a chance. Any association with a pre-roll immediately feels salsey to me... but this video hooked me in and covered SO MUCH. Well put-together and clearly thought out, even minor details like the lav mic adapter. Great work, I’m finally subscribed, haha

Amazing tutorial Parker, but can we take a minute to acknowledge how damn patient your subject was. What a good sport!

Just amazing tutorial so many tips in one video ! I love it ! :) keep doing tutorials like this.

This is like an alternate universe, where no one wears pants.

I feel you on those retakes. Happens to me as well. Which is probably why my edits take twice as long as they should to edit 😅

This should be the template for "How To Tutorial" KZfaq Videos. Parker delivers all the points needed in each video without the fluff. I have also purchased some of his paid training courses and they are excellent!

"Yo dawg...we heard you like tutorials so we put a tutorial in your tutorial so you can tutorialize while you tutor." This is actually a good 101 for this, probably the best ive seen on how to get sh*t done quickly and cheaply.

Parker next time when you're filming him, please give him a snack to eat while you explain your tutorials. My dude looking hangry lol

This is an absolutely fantastic video, Parker! You are a perfect example of how one can become a huge success through excelling in multiple correlated fields - videography, set design, speaking/presenting. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

I saw many videos which talked about different aspects of filming such interview/tutorial, but quite honestly no other video has covered all the important points as you have done. Be it lighting, camera setting, composition and what not . You have covered everything. Literally everything. And the way you have explained, its commendable. A very big thanks for such good tutorial.

I’ve never been this early! Can’t wait to watch!

I actually learned how to do interviews from this one video. It was a jumping off point and as I did more I got a little more educated and experienced. Still have a lot to learn and that is why I am going to get Parker’s course.

Absolute best tutorial on camera setup, lighting, and composition I've seen so far. Very appreciative of your knowledge and thanks for sharing!

Maybe this is my first comment on youtube. The most detailed and most instructive tutorial about “making video” I've ever seen. Not a single second wasted in vain. Thx for this amazing content. Greetings from İstanbul.

Hey Parker hope you are doing well. I've been watching your videos for a few years and would like to take a minute to thank you as I have learned so much from your tutorials. I'm only a high school student but have been into filmmaking and editing for nearly six years and if it were not for you, I and many others would not be as advanced as they are today!

his name is Parker Walbeck ladies and gentlemen, triple likes for this talented and skilled guy

Best value tutorial covering every single question I had - and I had many. So well explained and uncanny ability to get down to the viewers level and cover every detail. Thanks so much!

So much value with not a moment wasted! Thanks you man, I see your ads all the time🔥 Subbed!

I work as a professional cameraman for many years now. But I still watch videos like this one. There is always room for improvement. I still look for the best way to get the interviewees at ease. When I arrive at location with the reporter, we always start with a cup of coffee and talk about the stuff we will film. We go over the questions etc. I find it important to be there as well. At least for the first few minutes. It kind of breaks the ice. But, people tend to get uncomfortable in front of the camera, when I hit the record trigger. In between takes people seem to be more relaxed. But still a huge contrast with the coffee-chat-moment. It kind of helps when we have them holding something in their hands. It somehow takes their attention off the camera. We usually have them standing, talking off-camera, to the interviewer. It gives a more pro-active posture. But sitting down helps to relax. But for a lot of people it's still an unnatural way of talking. Long story short... I hope there are people out there, including you Parker Walback, who know how to deal with this little frustration. And, this might be a wonderful topic for a tutorial someday 😎

I was waiting for something like this 😊🙏

The generosity and the amount of knowledge you share is insane.

This was AMAZING. So many examples! I love how you actually *show* what you're saying rather than just telling. Instantly subscribed.

I'm noticing that the cheaper gear looks better, the softer lenses makes skin seem smoother when shown side by side ... you make amazing FREE content!

Parker: Tutorial (Under $1000) Me: *checking my bank account . . . My bank account: *$1.62 take it or leave it*

Another great tutorial, thank you Parker. You are not only a great teacher but your style of teaching is also very inspirational and motivating, makes you want to start shooting right away.

That was amazing - my KZfaq lessons are going to look so much better thanks to these 25 minutes. And the promoter tip is a game changer. Thank you so much!

Maybe useful for people who still wanna use wireless lav mics on a tight budget, plug it into your mobile device, stuff it away and make sure you record in a decent bit-rate, then just autosync in Premiere Pro or whatever you are using. This is still working out great for me and I don't need something else at the moment.

Great video! but if you're recording into Audacity or Garage Band, make sure to set your audio sample rate to 48kHz so it matches the video. lots of times the software will default to 44kHz and that makes it not perfectly match the video.

It's really amazing how with the depth of knowledge you might have on these equipments... you still explain it so well to reach a beginners level.. Thanks!🙏🏽

Parker, dude, this is by far the best video you’ve put out that I’ve viewed to date! Thank you for cutting my learning time.

Great tips, thanks for that!

The story about lunch intrigued me.

As a long time TV editor (30+ years), and a newbie at shooting (as an independent video freelancer) your tutorial is GOLD..... Thanks for the lighting tips and the prompter details, I will "up" my game after this! I too have gone the "budget" route with a Canon 90D, Ronin S, Mavic Pro "fly more kit", some LED lights and a softbox and some old Sony radio mics and the results are remarkably "high end". I could shoot a TV commercial for broadcast with this gear!

Finally a very well done video tutorial on this subject, I wish I could show you my yt history of the last two days to see the list of stuff I went through before to find this one which covers everything I needed in one video. You won my sub today.

The dislikes came from the people who bought a 1DX thinking it was all about expensive gear.

Great tutorial. One note on the microphone choice, dynamic microphones are generally better for rooms with no sound treatment or live sound. Condenser mics will sound better in sound treated rooms. Not trying to correct Parker, he recommends you should plan to treat your recording space but if you absolutely can't dynamic would be the way to go. Cheers!

Always learn something new watching your vids! Thanks legend

One of the best videos on youtube. You explain things extremely well. 🔥

I love how solid the M50 is to this day!

Thanks Parker Walbeck i am a filmmaker from Nigeria and i am always inspired by your video tutorials

Wow! My first and best video to watch on this subject. Just overwhelmed by the information I received. Thank you so much.

Wow! I do not give out accolades easily or often but this video was great with everything one would want in a youtube video tutorial, great relevant subject (video interviews on a budget), no time wasted always a new relevant take home point coming at me, and your expertise is very evident and comes through as your desire to inform your audience without talking down to or in a condescending manner to your audience, truly you did a great job!

“Today I went to school and I ate my lunch” Why dose that make me laugh just why what a interesting day at school😂😂😂🤣

This guy really misses riding his bike to school /: And eating his lunch at school

So far the best video I’ve ever seen in this subject! Congrats and much appreciated!

Loved the tutorial - straight to the point, direct, no bs and full of useful tips and information. Looking forward to more videos always!

Hey 🤙 thank you for this video. I have a audio question- how is the different when I use a boom mic in this room? Is it significant better? Because I have a similar room and don’t wanna use so much absorber 🙏 thank you

Who else wishes he did still tutorials too?

Your tutorial may be the best I have ever seen, I always wished people would show examples as you have and an actual step-by-step video . Thank you.

Hey Parker. Always a great video with you man. This is so timely for me especially after a video I did for a client. I know now what gear I need to make it so much better on the next job.

Affordable gear sounds better than “cheap gear”

*Parker, you are the best!* Thx a lot! upd: 😱 So happy, you've seen and liked my comment 😏 I watched all of your videos, and they are the most valuable and fascinating on the whole KZfaq! God bless ya! Have a nice day, man!

Constantly dropping knowledge. I appreciate all the time you give. Keep that ish coming!

Thanks a lot! I'm actually is about to film my first interview and I was nervous about it 'cause I really have a cheap gear and I thought it wouldn't work out well. Now I'm sure I can do this

To all subjects going forward, repeat after me - 'Today I went to school and I ate my lunch'

The front lighting turns it into an episode of The Office

FANTASTIC!!! WOOOOW!!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

I was on my TV and had to login from my PC to leave a comment here. I found this video to be quite empowering in the sense of it giving a full spectrum of all the interdisciplinary clues needed by literally "anyone" to produce content at the level of expectations of modern channels today whether it is KZfaq, Udemy, etc. I have been roaming in this sphere for a while trying to find my way into starting to produce content and even though different people have succeeded in clarifying certain areas of the process, there has not been a single video that filled in all the blanks as much as this one. Quite an amazing tutorial.

Big tip: AutoFocus is never reliable, no matter the camera. It's great when you're vlogging, walking around or filming an event. If your subject is static, just set manual focus and leave it like that. Everyone has their own preference though...

You should have mentioned quickly what focal length you ended up shooting at, and how different focal lengths can warp human subjects 😁

This is fantastic as I have a M50 and looking to start filming tutorials for my clients. Here I was thinking I needed to upgrade a lot of things! Thanks mate.

by far the best video i have come across for shooting tutorials, simply the best

Have You guys upgraded to The 1Dxiii?

"Today I was riding my bike and not going to school because I am grown man "

These tutorials are a literal goldmine of information. Thanks for the fantastic content!

Probably one of the most informative videos on the basic setup for a tutorial I've seen. Great job!

So, today he went to school and he ate his lunch.

Parker: As you can see there isnt a huge difference in quality.... *Canon Guy who made a $7500 canon 1dxmii: (Mike Wazowski poker face meme)

You are a master, truly. Normally this kind interview will take at least two~three guys to do the whole job, but you did it alone and wonderful!

Great tutorial @peter!!! Always looking forward for your new uploads!

00:12 "I did a turorial about a year ago showing you how to shoot a tutorial" -this guy 2020.

Cool tips but the model looks like he's there against his will lol. Blink twice if you need to be rescued dude!

Love the videos and the presentation of the content. I have already applied a lot of your tips/tricks, so thank you! Keep it going.

This tutorial is excellent! I have a Canon D77 and was able to reproduce all the camera settings you mentioned. The recommendation on lights and audio are also super helpful. Much appreciated.

The guy looks really stressed tho

I love all of your tutorial or explanation or whatever it is. So simple to understand for everyone, speak not to fast, step by step explanation. You give us very good budget to make awesome vlog or photo shoot

I appreciate you demonstrating the microphone adapter for the camera having two rings instead of three. Very helpful!

I really needed this tutorial, mostly because it's done with affordable gear and hign quality result... Thanks Parker

Thank you so much for your wisdom. By far one of my favorite channels on here to learn more about filming.

Great video!!!! Your a rockstar man! Loving all these videos and using them for my channel!

Parker, you're one of my favorite filmmaker. Thanks for your awesome videos.

So helpful, informative, and EFFICIENT! I love that there is no time wasted tangenting. You stay on topic and there's a crystal clear organization to your curriculum. THANK YOU for sharing your knowledge and expertise. One question- if there's no natural light in the room, what would be the most cost-effective back light recommended?

From all of the tutorial and tips i watch, yours is more detailed because you really explain what and how to do it!

Thanks dude, it's really, really nice how you did it step by step. Most of us looking this kind of videos is because we are just starting and we always tend to forget or not knowing the whole progress

That was probably the most helpful video I have ever watched on any subject! It all was so clear. Thankyou for your amazing content!

This was EXTREMELY helpful! Thank you for going over the lighting, audio and settings!

굉장히 차분하게 설명을 잘 해주는 영상!!! 괜히 100만 구독이 아니구나..

this is the most proper, I must say Proper step by step video ever seen and something that helps you to understand the whole process! I am going to save it everytime as a Bible and a last minute check list to see everything is proper. Thank you so much!! NO wonder we follow you!!

Very very clear not a wasted word. So many poison their presentations with ego tripping. Masterful.

Parker, THANK YOU so much for this video!!!!!!! It was BEYOND helpful!!! I am starting to do my own tutorial videos for KZfaq and this video is amazing!!!!!
