Can you doing a video like this specifically on visual treatments and how to create them?

Even though I know I'll probably never shoot a music video, the concepts you explained here really helped me get my head around how to plan a video. Thank you!

Yup. A shot list helps me to stay on task and move smoothly thru the set

This is perfect, man. This past week I started thinking about listing my shots so I know I don't waste time, even with a run and gun event. Gonna definitely be following this format! Got a subscription off of this one.

This is so true! It makes you look professional & helps my day go 100% smoother

I shotlisted for a music video for the first time two weeks ago, it's completely done and it's easily said that it's the best work I've ever done.

could you make a video of how to do a video treatment?

I have been following sooo many channels focusing on production/design over the last couple years and soooo many channels fade in and out for me. I gotta say, YCImaing has stayed consistent and I still always click when I see an upload. You are always putting out helpful and engaging content. Thanks!

I agree completely YC that pre-production is one of the most important things to do. It saves time and helps you get all the needed shots and a couple of extra. What I usually do is 1st come up with a concept, then write a story, then write a script, then make a story board for the most visible scenes and then I know what shots I'd need then when I know what shots I need I write a shot list witch is composed of all the shots and make a diagram of lighting setups and camera movements for different scenes. When that is done I do a shot plan witch is a shot list but put together all the scenes that can be done as one shot and using the same lighting setup. This is to judge what to do move the lighting and camera or do a wardrobe and makeup change or anything along these lines. One of the most important things to do is I judge how many takes and how long they take factor in how long it takes to set up for each shot and factor in some buffer time of something goes wrong. This lets me create a really tight scheduled that we can stick to so that people know what's being done when and of course from this I can make an equipment list so that the lighting can be moved when makeup and wardrobe is being done etc. On our last music video we were only 5 minutes behind scheduled when we were finished and in 14 hours had to move all the setups, crew and cast trough 5 locations on a half a mile radius where we had to be on time since we only had 10 min at a time to stop traffic in some places. Without preparation the video would not have happened and would have been way way over budget even thou the budget was really really low in the beginning. So great advice YC! :)

Videos like this are helpful af. Thanks YC!

The most important thing for Photo/Videographers!

Superb intro to shot lists... and why I should start using them. Thanks!

Always dope made me rethink a scene all together and how to execute i hate when i forget a specific angle or something and throws me off in an edit

Absolute GOLD! Thanks so much!!!

you're tips are awesome man! thank you for this

Shot list is a directors Bible to life

I always think that this stuff is important but I dont know how to implement it. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!

Shots shots shots shots shots...everybody! Good advice. I think its also helps to keep in mind that you don't need to come up with everything at the same time in one sitting. Write, revise keep going. Thanks!

Really good job with your videos. Very organized, concise and thought out. Great job bud.

Much better than the storyboard instructions I usually give. Very informative.

I think I’m a natural, I be scanning locations whenever I’m outside 🤣! I can’t wait to drop my heat!🔥

I always get scatter brained this process eliminates so much confusion &time waste! I’ve been trying to learn how to work with the app shot designer as well. Salute bro!

I'm shooting a music video this Saturday and wanted to create one of these but I had no idea how to. Thank you so much this was so ridiculously helpful!!! This will make things so much easier :)

ahhhhh ive been meaning to do this and now you just inspired me to do this more often and less "freestyling" visuals... Thanks YC!

Two reasons why I enjoy watching your channel: 1. Your knowledge of videography and editing. 2. You're so handsome.

This could be be never better explained like this thank you really much Sir

@YCIMAGING THIS IS WAT I NEED TO HEAR AND SEE. THANK YOU BRO !!!! THANKS

I even have shot lists for run and gun shoots. It's broad but it helps

Really enjoying your videos lately dude, super generous with your knowledge and really easy to follow along, launching my own channel real soon - definitely helped me get there dude!

Your channel is awesome, dude.

Just got into videography and your page is truth 🙌🏽

YC you are the truth bro

sooo useful man!! shootin my first music video tomorrow and cant wait!!!

Great video, thanks for sharing great tips.

I prefer using a tool like Celtx Shots (for Mac) to create a visual shot list. I build up each shot with an image of (more or less) what I want to achieve. The added bonus of this particular app is that you can export the entire storyboard/shot list as a movie file. So you can preview your shoot/edit on a very basic level

Love your channel dude. Always inspiring and keeping it real.

"Willz mom house" 😂🙌

Thanks for these videos you make, very informative. Truly, I learn a ton seeing your effort of teaching from your mistakes which makes me to be more prepare when I'm facing a client... Speaking to them knowing what I are my steps into getting the job and expectations, so they have a time frame idea. I just get little frustrated you know which is normal when you don't all the equipment and this shotlist is a great idea. Which it was something I've been doing BUT not adding equipment to it, time of the shot, and more visual sequence of the shot. Again great job putting this vid together. I'm learning as I go, and Im picking up as the challenges come.

Very nice and useful video. Thanks for the examples from the actual videos!

Great video man. Thank you.

Oooouuuuuweeee this a lot. I want to cry but, I'm going to keep going lol. I know I'll get the hang of it eventually.

This is a technique I should try in my short films. Thank you for the tip :) a 14 year old filmmaker...

Yes I’ve been waiting for a video about this

Excellent and very helpful! All about organization.

This is so great. Thanks, friend. I have a shoot tomorrow and this is 100% leveling the whole situation up.

For shotlisting and everything that has to do with it, i recommend StudioBinder. It is such an amazing tool to be working with
