He is right about #1: Don't gloss over that. Make the thing itself, the shot, the presentation, the actual content as good as you can.
The less times you think to yourself "Meh.. I can do that/fix that/add that/ in the editing" is the way less difficult life will be.
At least, that was a big big lesson I learned. Really, Tip 1 is gigantic and central!
Awesome - glad you liked it, Jonathan!
Thank you so much for the 7 steps! I did them all and my first video was a success. Just need more practice and maybe a couple supplies. Appreciate your help!
You're welcome - cheers to the success of your first video 👍
That is really great to know! thans for sharing Mary. Hoping for similar results.
Thank you for another great video, I realize that I do a lot of these steps but I honestly just need a better phone or camera to get to that good quality.. Will be looking into some of the things you showed here, like the smaller stand. Love the fact that you don't show off the most expensive gear but actually affordable ones. 💕
No problem - so glad it helped 😊
I’m deriving great value from your content Justin. Thank you so much 🙏
You are awesome. Keep up the good work.
So awesome to hear it! You're welcome! 😊
Thanks so much, Justin. Love your videos--friendly, authoritative, well-produced (of course), and most important of all--useful!
You're welcome - so glad you've found value in our content! 😊
Great video, But it would be even great if you can help with followings
1, If we can use secondary mobile to control the main cam sitting away from it
2, If not secondary mobile, any kind of wireless joystick or something like that because setting up exposure and focus while standing next to cam and while sitting away from cam becomes different.
.
I am making videos from mobile for years now, and this was the biggest challenge I face.
Hi Justin. Am so excited each time I watch you teach . You are amazingly intelligent. And your delivery power is great. I 've been able to learn so much here. May God keep blessing you.
Hey Mazi - thanks for the great feedback! 😊
You are the Best!! Finally, someone that explains Androids and more!! Thank you for the great content.
Hey Justin! great video. I like the organization of how you broke everything down on what to do. I feel great that I already had the setup, but I needed to know how to record and save without having conflict with the storage. It was informative on what to do for that aswell. Thank you very much for your knowledge.
You're welcome - so glad you enjoyed it 😊
Hey Justin!!! Amazing explanation and give me some what confidence to create the video content. I am a Real Estate Professional and have been thinking to get on the video platform for sometime now. Your videos made it so clear for me. How could I leave without saying a Thank you note to you. Thank you andKeep up the amazing work 😊
You're welcome - appreciate the comment and I wish you all the best 😃
The autofocus is so helpful. I recorded a test piece and I was worried I would have to bare the ever-changing lighting. Thank you for the tip, very helpful!!
No problem, glad we're able to help 👍 - Hazel, PV Team
In my opinion this is the most informative and demostrative editing video that I've viewed thus far. Great job!
Thanks - great to hear that 😃
One piece of information that is missing in many videos is showing how to download/transfer the videos off the phone to your computer for editing. Techies will figure it out; others will get in over their heads.
& the answer is?
@@thenakedhippie2078 Connect your phone to the PC with the included USB cable and drag the files over. (The files should be in the 'Camera' and/or 'DCIM' folder.
Quick filming tip.
If you can't look at the camera lens of your smartphone due to it being perfectly camouflaged in the cell phone body; here's a way to make it's location obvious.
1) Take a piece of colored tape or sticky note that does not leave a sticky residue.
2) Punch a hole in it using a 1/4 inch paper punch.
3) Place the tape or sticky note on your phone with the camera in the center of the hole. Now you can see exactly where the camera is; and have a target to look at.
THANK YOU!!
@@jennhill5829
You're welcome!
Cool tip
This was the first video I watched which helped me prepare for my first filming. Re-watching it now and picking up more tips. Thanks, Justin!
Hey, Melanie - thanks for watching and all the best on your filming! 😃
@@PrimalVideo thank you so much! I’ll let you know when I start publishing!
You are wearing a simple, grey T-shirt -- not striped, flowered, or checkered. As a "newbie", I ask, "was that planned?" Thank you, as I prepare to film our 6,000 km plein air painting trek "Footsteps East" in 2023. Your channel is extremely helpful.
I just love the way how you create every single things in your content informative, effective, and its just incredible Justin Brown
Awesome - Thanks, Anggun! 😊
This is a complete course in a box for FREE❤️❤️ .Thankz Justin. This tutorial is more effective ,informative and valuable than some of those crappy paid courses some of the most gurus are selling to us..SMH
Thank you sir
I have been waiting for this video an so excited to be among the first🙋
Wow Justin. I have watched myriad of videos for recording content on phone. Yours is by far the most informative and excellent that I have ever seen and I highly recommend it. I have subscribed to your channel and I can't wait to watch more of your videos. Keep up the good work. I have never commented on other content creator videos before. You have really inspired me enormously. Many thanks for such excellent advice and quality teaching.
Awesome - so glad you've found value in our content! 😃
Thanks, great tip about autofocus and I love the chapter strip along the bottom of the screen. Thanks!
You're welcome - thanks for watching!
Great Content.....Finally A Tutorial For Androids....Which Cost Just As Much As iPhones & Quality Is Great.
Cheers! 👍
Really clear and quick checklist, thank you Justin! Sent it around to my whole family, so they are all on the same page when I ask them to help me record a painting session; occasionally a phone recording is all we have time for. You are part of the home school curriculum now! :-)
Great - no problem, so glad it helped 👍
@@PrimalVideowhat if someone is using an android phone to make videos will it still be good, because I want to make very great videos and ect.
Zusana..Zusana... Zusana you looking so sweet
Seems like a checklist or buy list for people who already know how to do this. I love the sound of your voice so I am giving this a thumbs up! Step 10 did show how to which I loved!
Thank you so much! 😊
This has been super helpful!!! Thank you so much! I just made my first TH-cam video and your videos have been super helpful. I was just thinking I needed to save up for a mic and then this video came out just in time! I'm going to get the inexpensive mic you suggested. Thank you so much for all you do!!!
Glad you made it - You're welcome!
Good luck to you, I'm new to TH-cam as well. We got this girl. 💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿
@@thatskindacreepystorytelli520 thank you so much! I gave you a follow! Good luck as well!!!
@@lilt2003plus awe thanks, I will definitely follow back.
You've helped me a lot! With your videos i feel confident and inspired to create my videos
Great - happy to help 👍
Hi Justin its good to hear someone talk about android for once instead of I phone. I've watched your video on filmic pro and it seems like a great app but when I used fhe filmic pro evaluater on my Samsung A70 a lot of the functions won't work with my phone such as on my phone I can shoot 4k but filmic pro won't let me shoot in 4k, on my phone I can shoot 1080p at 60 FPS but rhe maximum on filmic pro is 1080p 30 FPS which is a shame great video though thank you😁👍
I agree andoid are now more popular than iphones
As a mobile detailer, I find this extremely helpful.
Thank you!
So glad it helped! You're welcome! 😊
This is one of the best videos I've watched as I scope for content to help me start creating content. 🙏🏽
That's great to hear, Derrick! All the best for your channel! 😊
Great tips! I picked up some nuggets here. Thanks 😊
Awesome!
This is very captivating, You inspired me with a new camera angle I could add to my videos! Thank you
Awesome - you're welcome 👍
Excellent comprehensive professional videos as always. Thank you Justin.
Awesome to hear it - you're welcome!
I probably need this!
I'm going to start my own vlog.
Justin, I am usually relating well to your content. Thank you 😊
Nice, Peter - no problem!

Awesome video. I'm going to share this with other authors I know. Thank you!
Awesome, that's going to be helpful! You're welcome! 🙏
Kicking off an event decor business and this video was super helpful. Thanks a bunch!
That sounds great - glad we're able to help! 👍
I just got a camera but still use my phone when I'm out in public sometimes. Thanks for these tips. I agree with the test video tip. I learned that the hard way when I recorded an entire video then sound out my microphone was not working.
You're welcome 👍
You saved me with your videos. I went to film my first online cheesemaking class with DSLRs and to edit with Sony Vegas Pro and got super stuck and overwhelmed because of the massive learning curve. Used your suggestions with ease and success (used filmaker pro because I hadn't watched your editing video yet). One question, what adapter do you recommend for this little mic to connect to your Pixel? Mine is apparently faulty. Thanks so much!
Depends on which Pixel you're using, if it doesn't have a headphone jack you'll need a USBC to headphone jack port (trrs) for this to work
Thank you so much for this video! It was really helpful! I film with my android too because I don't have money for an extra cam and my cellphone has a really good cam. May I ask you what is the different to a video cam? I am right that the most difference is the telephoto lens? Thank you in advance for your answer.
Which cellphone (Specific name) have you used to made that video,,??🤔🤔
@@ecostats51 I had the Xiaomi Mi 9 as I started. The quality of my videos you see on my channel
I uploaded only HD but 4K would have been possible too. I bought now the Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra with which you can film underwater and 8K too. See my latest video is about it.
In the meantime I bought too a canon M5 but I prefer to film with cellphone for vlogs because its not so heavy to carry...
Very useful, valuable and straightforward information! Thank you very much for the content
So awesome to hear it! You're welcome! 🙏
Tip: I'm new at this but found the Iriun Webcam app that you can simply download to a Surface Pro...iPad...or Laptop and connect your phone and see your camera from the rear facing camera just as your audience sees you and yeah a tablet or lappy 💻 is something extra you'd carry but seriously beats a mirror. Jus thought it'd help others. Great video btw...great info!
Great video, Justin. Such consistently good content - love your channel. Keep up the good work, and thanks.
Thanks, Simon 😀
*VERY Helpful VIDEO For NEW TH-camrs!* 🔥
This man has helped me with my new videos too!
@@calebcodesitall3883 👍
Great - so glad it helped 😊
@@PrimalVideo 👍
Great video! I love all the editing that went into it!
Thanks - glad you liked it!
As with all your videos, this one is spot on. Thank you Justin!
Great - no worries!
Can you make a video on pro camera moves that you get get with the dji om4? I just got it and have been using it and I want to get some pro level shots
Plot twist: This video was shot with an iPhone.
Hahahahahah I’m Dying!
😂
😄
2020 Big brain comment of the month😹😹😹
Justin didn't comment...😀😀😀
This video is so underrated. Great content ! Cheers from Transylvania !
Thanks, cheers! 🥂
OUT STANDING!!!!! You have no idea what this video has done for me, thank you
You're welcome - cheers! 😊
Thank you so much for this video! It was very informative, organized nicely, and well-made!
You're welcome - thanks for the great feedback!
i Have waiting... ❤❤💜💜
Hey man just wanted to say how much you have helped me! Your videos have helped me so much!
Awesome - happy to help 👍
I appreciate the advice about microphones, that makes solid sense.
No problem
Love your content. I have taken a LOT of your advise. Unfortunately, FilmicPro struggled on my Google Pixel 2XL. It would randomly so the video and others found a similar problem. Sad, it is a cool app. I went back to the stock camera and at least could get a video (even without all the adjustments).
Thanks, Steve!
Thank you very much, Justin.
You're welcome 👍

Awesome, thanks!
This guy save me in my college days, Kudos to this man!
Awesome!
I wish i had this cousi when i first got started i used an andriod for like the first 2 years😔
Iam a fan of the little guy that keeps on popping out...

Thank you very much Justin, such a detailed video, even the graphics and editing...
You're welcome, Diego 👍
Love this! I'm an experienced videographer, but I'm a little new to smartphone production and want to improve my production values. Helpful video.
So glad you find it helpful 🙏 - Hazel. PV Team
Cooking video in a gym seems interesting
Thanks for info man. Because I'm just using a smart celphone. God bless
I thought so too!
...actual gym smell & hygiene is off-putting enough with sweat and skin cells flying about; add to that potential oil and grease while cooking and it really starts getting yucky (at least in my imagination) - unless you mean setting up various gym equipment as background for a cooking video and never to be used for actual exercise
@@kopeelampoong6464 I'm bringing a whole ass stove into the gym 💀
Great content, thank you.
Sometimes I wish you wouldn't edit/cut your audio so tightly. An extra nano second of breathing space here and there would take off the stress of listening to you.
Agree with this, its a bit like one massive speech with no breathers.
@@tsd6916 Thanks 👌
Thank you so much for this. I started my show just by watching your video editing videos. And this is really helpful as well.
You're welcome - that's cool, keep it up! 👍
Exactly what I was looking for, thank you ❤️
Nice, you're welcome! 😊
Could you create a video showing how we can make our android phones a webcam for zoom meeting? Thanks
You should probably search on google. I used to have an app for that but i can't seem to remember what its called
A video idea (if you can expose your TH-cam payment)
_How much I made shooting videos with my Phone_
Wow I ve just seen two of your videos and I love how organised you are with the info you provide.
Thanks, great to hear that Anna - Hazel, PV Team
Thank you for this video. I am trying to use my Motorola to film in front of a green screen for content, and this video helped me fix the problem of my green screen turning blue every time I stepped in front of it.
You're welcome, Steven - so glad it helped 🙏 - Hazel, PV Team
Anyone using the new Android - are you able to find the camera settings for choosing 4k? I can't find the setting at all
Take a shot every time you hear “content”
Awesome video. Thanks for sharing the reference quick guide. I needed this video. Happy holidays!!🎅🤶🎄🎁👍
Thank you! Happy holidays to you too! 🎄
Ow.em.geee... loving your channel's content now! thank you, thank you, thank you! About dang time android content creators have an inclusive learning space! yAy! :D keep on sharing pllleeease...
So awesome to hear it - You're welcome 👌
I would like to watch a cooking series set in gym, with people working. If done well - TH-cam Gold.
Any iPhone users?😂🙋♀️
I am!
I literally see you everywhere lol.
Justin, that was a truly informative video. I am sure many people will learn a lot from it.
Thanks - so awesome to hear it.
Great video! I am grateful that you showed a shot of your filming. I noticed the lighting, the tripod, and the phone camera setting. I also noticed that you didn't have a teleprompter. I think that you do most of your videos with a teleprompter. How are you so good at delivering such a smooth video that is over 17 minutes long without a teleprompter?
Thank you for sharing this video, its just what I was looking for. Crisp and to the point. I have used the links to purchase the equipment that you suggested.
You're welcome - awesome to hear that! 😊
Love it Justin!! 2021 is going to be AMAZING!!! 🥳🥳🥳
Cheers! 😊
your room is really nice and organized. every time i am surprised. no dust !

Great tips and advice for filming with phones! Thank you for your video!
Awesome - no problem!
Justin many thanks! I'm starting to plan videos and your tips are amazing! :)
I have one tip for you with good intentions: your voice is always in a very gutural reverberation (like if it was being produced in way down in your throat). I advise you to start some voice coaching to allow you to feel less tired when speaking for a long time and to allow your voice to be more fluid-like, more "musical". My area of knowledge is Music - Singing. I hope that you will consider that and allow you to feel more confident and spending less energy on speech.
Best regards from Portugal!
Appreciate the feedback Rita
