Filmmaking discussions on KZread tend to focus on the more fun parts of the process- FPV drones, transitions, etc. This video dives into a few less-exciting but incredibly important areas of filmmaking (composition, lighting, editing, and sound design).

    I have definitely been focusing more on sound design, obviously I'm still learning, but i see the benefit and the depth that it brings to video/film. Composition is another thing I'm trying to get better at, thanks for the tips.

    Aidin: You have no idea how much the deconstructed explanations of your creative content, workflow, and process have helped me grow from when I started as a noob trying to document my bicycle trips, to where I am in one year. While I'm very happy with my progress, but I have a great deal to learn along the road of developing those skills in the complex craft we call filmmaking. While equipment, time, and financial restraints hold some growth back, it also forces me to concentrate on other things that are more important, rather than getting caught up with "too much too soon" Thank you for giving all of us insight into your great work. One episode that has really stuck with me, was your PNW film, followed up by the sound editing. Thanks again.
