So nice to see someone talk about the “craft” of shooting videos and not focus just on the “gear”. Great tips. And you are a great speaker and presenter. Thanks for sharing!

@Robert L. agree with you! Whenever I watched other videos I would often feel worse than I was before clicking on the video as they made it look like it was because of the gear they used. But here the way he explains and show us about the skill rather than gear made feel so much better. I am new to the channel, this is the second video I watched from Thomas Alex Norman and I am subscribing.

After watching your videos I feel like I can actually try this. Love how you talk through every step - it really helps!

I agree, keep up the good work. Slow and simple with the thought process AND the processed shots helps so much.

Yes 🙏

Teaching is such an overlooked skilled, but it’s amazing how you actually break things down to the smallest most basic details. Something that would come so naturally to you, after doing it for so long, you still manage to put yourself in the shoes of a beginner and lay down the foundation. It’s actually such a difficult thing to do once you become well versed in a skill, so I just wanted to say kudos, you’re amazing at it!

Just happened upon your video and was mesmerized. I have literally watched hundreds of hours of nature photographers explain their craft, and hear them talk about their b roll. To watch you explain, and demonstrate how it’s done is such a wonderful new experience. I love how you connect with nature and make the ordinary extraordinary.

I watched this whilst having my lunch at my desk, instantly transported in to a world of relaxation. Roll on the weekend when I can get out in to the woods and give these techniques a go. Thank you 👍

This was the most helpful tutorial for filming I have seen on KZread, others can tend to over-complicate and therefore kind of alienate, but this was super helpful! Thanks

The footage is so relaxing, great music choice too and you’re right: I could smell the forest scent and really feel that I was there

Finally a video that teaches proper video technique

it is always nice to find someone who does gentle, clear, well articulated instruction. Clearly you know what you are doing, and it shows. Thanks kindly.

I constantly find myself coming back to this video, it's so valuable.

1. Great job giving insight into your thought process and the "why?" 2. Love the picture-in-picture showing what you're capturing as you capture it 3. Super cool to see previews of the final edit as you go Do you shoot everything on 60+ fps so that you can pick and choose what you play in slow motion when you are in edit, or do you make the choice before capturing?

I got the same question as to whether you shoot in 24/60/120 fps?

@EricsMaineLife

Another vote for wondering what FPS you shot with. Looks very cinematic!

@jeffbruer8735

Include my vote on the frame rate question. I'd guess at minimum that it would be 60 or higher. I've never tried to slow down a video that was taken at 24 fps but it seems like it would come out choppy. I'm learning a lot from Thomas' videos and do appreciate his teachings.

Can't answer it for sure, but from my perspective I would say that it would be ideal to make the choice before capturing. This way you can take advantage of the 24fps cinematic look. If you shoot everything 60fps, your timeline will have to be 60fps and you will lose the cinematic effect for all shots that are not slowed down. Sounds like a lot of work, doesn't it? It is, haha! That's why we appreciate it.

Really really enjoying these behind the scene style videos. It's incredibly helpful to not only see how you are getting these shots, but also to understand the thought process behind why you are choosing the shots that you're after. Seeing the picture-in-picture view is also great. Shots that seem somewhat average at first end up looking really fantastic when properly edited and placed in context. Thanks so much for sharing!

Thomas, you are BACK!!! This is what it's about. Good quality content, amazing demonstrations and explanations of what you're doing and why. Showing the end result build as you progress is something that's all too often missing. You're demonstrating what can be achieved with minimal equipment. This is very appealing. You've done the travel video academy, you need to do one for more general videography techniques. In my opinion, of all your seriously excellent videos this one has been the most inspiring of all.

I'm new to filming, I used to photograph for many years and that's something completely different. I noticed that you turn incredibly simple things into something beautiful, things that I just didn't notice with these nice tips. Making a movie is not just about pressing "rec" because after a few minutes no one watches the normal movies. I was fascinated by B-roll, shots with beautiful music make a real film. I still have a lot to learn, but the way you convey something in terms of technique and especially "looking" has given me a spark. Thank you for your insight.

Wow, that is so inspiring to see how it's possible to create something super nice with almost no gear at all. Thanks for sharing your knowledge!

Most intuitive video on crafting b-roll that I've seen yet, all without the use of some massively expensive camera. Thanks for the awesome tutorial!

These are the kinds of videos we've been looking for. Ladies and gentlemen, we found him...

Finally I found a video which actually teaches you what you want other rubbish talk waste of time. I finally learned how to shoot video for cinematic shots. Thank you.

What truly beautiful footage. My favorites are: "underexposed little moss hill", "pine branch sun sprinkle" and 'reflections in puddle'. Very inspiring!

This is amazing, great tutorial. Probably my favourite one you’ve done.

After watching your few videos, I am really happy to see how you can get cinematic footage without any tools... you are an amazing presenter. Thank you sooooooo very much. Without gimble or with gimble, cinematic shooting is all POSSIBLE.

Thank you so much , Thomas . I love how you created and editing this video. May God bless you , Thomas ♥️

Absolutely amazing video, I've watched tons of tutorials like this and yours is the best I've seen

Excellent Reveal! So demystifying the thought process. Thank you!

Hi Thomas! Thanks for another behind-the-scene course. I like that kind of videos because from these I learn so much! Please keep on showing us how to create a film. It feels just like 101 Coaching. Thanks!!

I'm just getting into the video making, and this was incredibly helpful! Clear instructions, great examples, especially seeing the behind the scenes and then the final result. Thank you!

Outstanding tutorial and wonderful job Thomas... be well and stay encouraged!!!

I'm completely new to videographer. Stumbled across your video and am incredibly grateful for this super helpful lesson! 🙏🏻

I love how well you explain the shots in your videos! I've learned a lot by watching you! Please keep on doing more b-roll tips like this! 😃

love this type of video. keep them coming! now I just got to apply what your teaching.....

When you made this it looks so simple!

The way you have explained the nuances is just amazing. As a beginner, it has taught me to be patience and have an eye for details. Great Video Editing. Thanks.

I absolutely love your teaching style! Thank you for this awesome video Thomas.

Another great example of creativity without needing high end gear. Would love to see your editing process on this shoot.

I love love love the way you broke it all down. Its inspirational. Planning a nature shoot for my channel as a newbie and this has helped a ton. Cheers

Thank you Thomas! B roll (no talking) is all I do! 🤩❤🧡💛💚💙💜🌲🌲🌲

I am merely a beginner with a huge appetite to learn. Out of the many videos that I have watched on this type of subject, yours is for me, leaps ahead. I totally enjoyed the clear and concise manner that you delivered the content. Thank you and subbed . Cheers Paul

The music For the finished b-roll was AMAZING!!!

You’re the best fuckin informative videography channel on youtube! Little annoying pointless rambles, alot of straight to the point & damn informative tips.

Absolutely gorgeous! Thank you so much for the tutorial very inspiring!

Brilliant work, just this week starting to have a go and learned some awesome tips, thanks so much

Brilliant tutorial! So much attention to detail.

Awesome!!! I can’t wait to try those tips by myself. Thanks a lot!

Thank you! It was game changer! And without gimble.. Amazing work!

Can’t describe how helpful this video was for me! Thanks a lot!

This is a wonderful video, truly showing us how to make cinematic magic out of what others might see as ordinary or plain. 👋🏼🇨🇦

Great vid. Thanks for all the work you do mate.

Great Tips and presentation, I come to the right pool. Thanks for helpful video.

Your devotion is next level ♥️🙏

Thomas, you are a true instructor! Very informative and you have greatly increased my production value of my shots! Thank you for rebooting my brain!

Very well explained!! Loved your perspective while shooting videos.. Thanks mate!

wow, great video! I love how different your take is on this particular topic. very helpful!

Perfect, exactly what I've been looking for...thanks.

You are a great teacher! Thank you so much!

Very helpful, thank you. Still a lot of practice needed this side!

These tutorials are so helpful, thank you so much!!!

Thanks for sharing! watching you explain your steps in action really helps!

This was so detailed. Loved it

That last shot before your outro, was the best shot of the whole video imo. Great tips ! Thanks 🙏

Thank you so much for sharing your techniques.

You demonstrate it really well Thomas! Thanks man!

Cinematography is infinite in its possibilities... much more so than music or language.✌💕🎥🎬

Thomas , I can sense by your footage you have so much respect for nature. My wife and I just visited Renesse in Prov of Zeeland in THE Netherlands. Especially the dunes and forest around Nieuw Haamstede were impressive . Grts from Belgium.

Brilliant once again. There are things there I hadn’t thought of. Things like, establishing a scene & focusing on scenery there then moving on to something else. It helps make things so much easier & probably less stressful trying to get footage.

Fantastic demonstration, Thomas. Thank you. I will send it to my camerawoman.

What a pleasure to watch. So much information. Thank you

Simple, but so effective! Gonna keep on learning!

Thank you so much! This is very helpful.

That was awesome, Thomas. Loved the micro shots - puddle, hill and the micro tree. Thanks.

I’m filming a project in Colorado on an elk hunt in September and this video helped a lot! I feel way more comfortable with finding ways to capture quality b roll now.

“Activate viewer’s senses’’- this is gold

Love how detailed this demonstration is! Big thanks from a budding filmmaker like me. ❤️

Generally, I do not resort to name calling...but, YOU are a freakin' WIZARD. It's so key to first see the flat, not yet graded "what you saw when you were there" version, because it gives me confidence that all the seeming "crap" I'm shooting, can get magically sorted...one day when I figure out what "post" means, where this mythical land is, and how to get there! Thanks.

+Thomas Alex Norman, sometimes we look at a scene and dismiss it because we can't "see" anything worth filming. You just shattered that mindset and I thank you. Keep at it.

really wonderful thank you!

Excellent tutorial as well as the video you created!

Thank you for sharing tips. It's a big help like for us beginners. Cheers!

What a great video man, thanks!

Thank you this was excellent. I've always concentrated on framing and locking down my b-roll on a tripod, but adding that bit of movement makes the world of difference.

Really appreciate the way this was put together. Helping me take my videos to the next level. Cheers bud.

This video help me a lot! Thank you!

Really enjoyed your presentation. I was down at the beach the other day and I said to my wife I love being here there is just so much inspiration and things to see. She looked at me strangely and said what stuff? My eyes are already seeing as you have shown but I wasn't sure how to assemble it for a video. Thank you it has helped immensely.

Absolutely brilliant!!

God bless you brother for teaching all this. Thanks once again. Subscribed for life.

Great tips. Thank you!

Only found your channel a couple of months ago, can't stop watching them great job Thomas ..saludo de Tenerife

Absolutely amazing Very useful information . Thanks for sharing

This was an amazing demonstration!

I can't stop myself from holding breath every time you do the slider move. haha

Amazing video. Thanks for the tips and advice.

please make more videos like this. it's really helpful for beginner like me 😆👍

Really enjoyed this....thank you....you explain the process behind it and its a big help into understanding the reasons in taking certain footage and how it plays in the final film.

Great!!! We need more such kind of videos. Really learned a lot from it

Thought that was great. As someone wanting to get into that sort of thing. I`d like to see a part 2. about how you put it together from start to end. Thanks for that Thomas.

Saved my life. Thanks.

Thank you for sharing us such a wonder idea.

Amazing advise and tutorial!! Thank you!

Love this Alex. Was doing a lot of B roll finding different parts around where I live and you've inspired me to get back to doing this, using the tips you've given here!!
