You are a star. very motivating and inspiring. Thanks

Two years later and now you're at 400,000 subscribers. Thank you so much for your no-nonsense, very informative videos!

This is a huge commitment dedicated to filmmaking that I can see from you. That's really inspiring, Simon! Thanks for things you've done. Keep up the great work.

I just wanted to thank you for making my life a little brighter each day. Your videos help me believe in myself and my dreams. The only advice I can give is KEEP DOING WHAT YOUR DOING!

I like the "simple and beautiful" approach in all your videos rather than the high octane intro, graphics and stuff,which makes your videos look premium and of high quality. Keep up the good work mate :)

Simon your channel was one of the first that actually helped me, I am trying to start a weekly show and your videos have really helped me prepare for it.

Upload defaults and tagging for relevant videos of the same channel! GREAT advice as I kept copying/pasting descriptions! LOL! You've come a long way since this video celebrating 10K subs. Way to go, Simon! Keep on shooting.

I recently rediscovered your channel and I must say how impressed I am. I've binged watched tons of videos and you've brought up so many interesting topics that just hasn't occurred to me. I love how precise and focused your channel is. So many other channels are so random. Keep up the phenomenal work Simon. Looking forward to some more great content from you in 2015!

Thanks Bobby, that's very encouraging. appreciate the support:)

Binged-watched DSLR Guide.. now I am hooked!!! I was thinking of enrolling in some film school.. but this is soo much better!! I feel more confident with each new video I watch!! 2 THUMBS UP!!

i just love all your guides and i think they mean a lot to me!! Please keep filmmaking and you surely teach us a lot!

Thank you for all of your well made and interesting videos! I'm a musician and a friend of mine is photographer. We've decided to do a series of live performance videos in various locations and with a number of different musicians. We realized early on that the logistics of finding the right locations, getting all the people and equipment needed and so on was going to be intense. Your advice on many different things has been very useful to us. So, thanks and keep up the good work!

Learned a lot from you. I think you've inspired many of young people who love filming and post production editting. Keep going, you'll become a great star in this specilized area.

Seems like 2015 has been a big year for your, since you got much more subscribers! I joined 2015 and i'm always happy when a new video goes live! Its really helping me out. Im currently trying to get better at cinematography. Keep up the great work!

Giving a big shoutout to UK KZread Creator Simon Cade and his Channel DSLRguide. On navigating KZread, we all come across many styles and elements of video making. Simon is a fresh face that needs to be recognised for all he's achieved so far. The real find here is the energy and attention to detail that Simon puts in - many creators will just vlog, slap in too many jump cuts and upload. Simon does the opposite, he's in for the long game, he has beat sheets, scripts, a methodology and patience, kudos to that.. h/t to ***** for pointing me to this creator..

Yep, looking for a good DSLR. I have a friend with an older Canon that he wants to sell and it's probably more than I need as a beginner, but the price seems really good. I'm just trying to get info to make an informative decision.

Lee Brewer Are you looking to take photos and/or video? What lens does it have? I am more of a Nikon guy, but revisiting my two dslrs, I would say a tripod or a monopod is a staple. These dslrs can be like magic wands, and getting a shot right takes energy - I even went through a process to calm myself and slow my breathing down recently. Just because you can shoot at 1/1000 of a sec, does not mean you should. I often go to 1/30 and slower, and for that definately a tripod..

Lee Brewer as a ps for DSLRguide - did you see this post at g+ ? As Simon was not sure of any value in g+ .. we know there is.. I mean, you have learned of this channel from a g+ post I would guess, rather than youtube?

218 likes, 101 comments, and less then 2,000 views... just goes to show how much people value the final product as a result of your hard work and experience! You've done a really great job so far and I really am looking forward to "another year and another 100 videos" along with more results for you

I just discovered your channel and it is just awesome! So great to find still such high quality channels on youtube! Congratulations!

Another awesome video as usually Simon. Love to see how you explain the way your work. Extremely professional and nice to see behind the scene of what it takes to do an episode. Just saw your Short Movie, that was fenomenal, great filming, acting and the story gets that "punch" in the end. Keep amazing us Simon :)

Recently subbed to the channel, just wanted to say how inspiring it is to watch your videos, especially looking at some of your older ones compared to now, good stuff! :D

Congrats on 10k!! Can't wait to see what you have in store for the year to come :D

Another fantastic video, just as I have come to expect from you! Thanks for making this video in particular because now I know that the amount of time it takes me to produce and upload a weekly gaming video is not unusual at all. I was starting to think that I was just really inefficient at editing and stuff, but I am not out of the ordinary. I also want to say I have learned a ton from your channel and have already started to use some of that info to improve my videos, so thanks again for that as well. Keep rocking it!

You are really helpful and enjoyable to see! Keep working so hard and i can see you behind the best films and movies in a few year!

I've just started to buy some of my own equipment your channel helps so much. Videos like this that show a certain production workflow help me figure out how I should be doing my own, so thanks so much! Keep up the good work! :)

Joseph Kage thanks Joseph, that really means a lot!

You have helped me identify where I can make improvements and what I am doing right. Certainly, there is much more work I need to do, which is exciting! Pre-production is not easy because I never know where I'll be day after day; I travel for a living. So, I must shoot first and ask questions later. That leaves me with post production editing. Since I only have a mobile app and a dysfunctional laptop, my editing is done on my android smart phone. Lastly, the time it takes to edit is the most tedious portion. With all of that said, you have saved me a ton of time by identifying areas that I can improve upon instead of making corrections in post. Many thanks!

This is amazing. Love the cinematic feel your videos give off

It's really Great that you show, how much effort it takes to make a 10Minute Video. Many People do not realise that and don't understand, that Filmmaking is actually work that requires a lot of time - and Time is the most valuable resource we have! :) I really love your Mindset according to the Art of Filmmaking!

Simon, I find all your videos inspiring, fresh and creative, not just very, very handy. Because doing a show is such great practice, I would like to see more "Behind the Scenes at DSLRguide". Please consider making others often as you add and subtract elements and considerations. Thank you! (I still do not eat as many apples as I should though ;- )

Brill. Always good to see the process. Helps to know when 1) on the right track and 2) what could be improved. Great vid.

I love the work you are doing with your channel. It was very interesting to see your workflow. Great work!

Your channel has grown so much, awesome job dude!

Thanks a lot Simon! You are very inspiring brother. I am a bit of a rookie but slowly getting there. I learn a lot with you channel. Keep it up!

Wow man I really respect you. Great job. Thank you for all the hard work, we love these videos.

Big respect to you, man. Just subbed yesterday and have already learned so much!

Stumbled upon this video in 2017 and it is a great help. Inspiring to see your journey and how far you've come with it all. I'm just getting started with creating video content myself and am not a natural in front of the camera. No surprise there being a photographer :-) but I have a wealth of experience that I would really like to share with others and so will be getting stuck in, making mistakes and learning as I go, thanks to the generous efforts of yourself and the community. Thanks.

Congrats Simon!

i must congratulate you. i have been seeing some of your videos. In your videos i can see dedication and preparation, you know what you are talking about. you show what you are trying to explain. you take it serious,not being boring though. i understand you speak fast to make a short video... and although sometimes you speak too quick, its also a way for our brain to be focused, so we get every word you say. well planned, created and elaborated. good job. keep up the good work and the effort and dedication you put on your videos. see you

Didn't realise these videos take so long. Really appreciate the effort! Great stuff!

I'm so glad I've found your channel, your videos are so helpful and informative. Thank you so much!

I really enjoy watching your videos. By the quality of your video it is very clear how much time and effort you put into them. keep up the great work. subscribed!

Wow! The spreadsheet is a great idea. I may adapt it for my filmmaking/KZread process. Love seeing behind the scenes! Thanks. :D

Wow never expected that you'd delete all the original raw material. I keep dragging on unfinished projects for years. But I see once you get this workflow in place, plan out what you want, put the time in to do it properly and finish it off and put it out there. I can see you re then ready to let it go and save HDD space to move on to the next project. It's pretty beautiful actually. As you get what you need: learning n gaining experience by doing, and the audience gets their valuable lessons and content. Time passes by and you are moving forward. Great stuff, keep on doing it!

Congrats! Love your stuff! It helped me out a lot as someone trying to get started!

I love your channel and this particular video. It really showcases all that goes into making a video from start to finish. I especially like the hour counter tracking the time of the project. I really appreciate the backlinks to past videos and your references to equipment in the show description making it easy to find stuff. Super thorough !!! Amazing. Great job

Hi Simon, I found your KZread channel by chance today, and honestly speaking, I think you are a professional filmmaker and great presenter. I never thought it would take 15 hours+ for one short video, that's a lot of time. I am interested in film making but when I shoot some home videos I get shaky footage, and that puts me off. I hope to learn more from you. Many thanks for the nice video.
