So good! Beau you say you want less of you talking in your videos but I love your self talk that is half the reason I watch, your self talk makes it so relatable, funny and so entertaining. Keep going with it man
Beau -- you hairy, tireless, fearless, mountain man. what a joy to get to sit down with you and hear how you think about making films. it is safe to say that you are truly, and without exaggeration, one in a freaking million.
After watching this today I binged most of Beau's videos. Had never heard of him before today. He's so far above and beyond 99 percent of everything else on this platform. So inspiring.
On the TH-cam viewers average attention span, well, that goes out the window when I'm watching Beau ... I want longer videos. I simply can't get enough of Beau!
Awesome to get a behind-the-scenes look into my favorite TH-camr's process! I must say, it is the little documentarian touches, like having credits at the end of videos, that make Beau's channel feel like an apple in a sea of junk food (of course, the apple is from the side of the road). Cant wait to see what you make next Beau!
I found Beau towards the beginning of this year and I have to say he and his team are fantastic story-makers. It's just so well done it's unbelievable. definitely the gold standard and boggles my mind that he isn't larger than he is.
the final 5 minutes are beautiful. It’s so valuable to see the underlying drivers of creators, their expectations and their struggles. Thank you for keeping that in Jack!
We Love Beau! Super bummed you feel that way about TH-cam though. You're honestly my favourite creator on here and it's now a family event when a new beau vid is released. Long may it continue! Proud patron supporter too. Thanks for Video Jack!
Big thanks for your support and words, Handaloo. Goodonya mate. We're doing this for folks like you- not to please you, but to not waste your time when on a screen.
This is a stunning episode jack - the insights into how beau constructs the story out of completely run and gun footage in post is SO valuable for me - thank you for probing so deep in this area specifically
Found Beau's channel years ago now, watched everything. Every upload is a great dose of positivity, beautiful shots, a good story - just love it! And indeed, I've wondered why he doesn't have more viewers/subscribers. Keep going Beau, you're inspiring loads of people with your projects, fun, and thoughts!
I think one of the strongest things about beau's and the teams work is that the work and story is centered in place. And the teams relationship to place is specific and centred. How far away this is from home, a town, where a event took place or is taking place. the importance of a river personally or for others. the run along Mc Millians track is a good example. I watch a lot of bloke in shed making stuff and it could be anywhere in the world. most of beaus stuff could be found on a map with reasonable ease given goodle earth. Its reasuring
To any and all Beau fanatics, go to a secret screening if you have the opportunity. I went to one he hosted in Vancouver and it was bloody amazing. The man was made to be in front of an engaged audience.
That was a huge pile of honesty. Thank you. Hope the video doesn't get a lot of views and attract the wrong crowd. Some people don't like being made aware that there is hard work behind a TH-cam video, planing, budget, admitting you have to make money... Beau I'm not sure you can support your standard for long. I'm burning out every 6 months, at least. Each one harder to recover and I'm 9 years younger than you. I recently did one of your tours video, "71 km with 41 range" in a heavy ev bike, got rained on, pushed by trucks in the ditch. I can not see myself having the energy to do that for another 10 years (I passed, not celebrated, passed 10 years last month) The economics for projects you love, don't make sense. Thanks for the advice with cinema showings, I've been toying with the idea and I did do a cinema showing back in 2016. I'll explore the avenue and report back. Glad to see you both, too bad you didn't find an old bottle of wine on the side of the road to finish in a field :D
Ta matey. Good graft you have there, but burnout on repeat is no good. Perhaps make them a little leaner and meaner? I'm trying to streamline and it's half a losing battle, but a good battle to have. Best to you and your creativity
I still think Beau’s best film was Africa by Kayak. It was like a great movie and I wouldn’t care less if it was not perfectly shot with a big team. It was a long time ago when I watched it but I still remember the feeling of solitude and loneliness when you are on your own on a big adventure - but you paddle on. Or those shots at night from the tent to the camera at the end of the day. It almost felt like being there. And when you got the information of Andrew McAuley. Man, that still hurts. If art is conveying emotions of the artist that film really did it for me. Maybe because it was my dream at the time as well to do such adventures. Do more of those Beau! Art!
What a great interview. It's fascinating to see the serious side of Beau because he's so jovial in his videos. The last part about happiness and meaning was my favorite part. Burnout seems to be a common theme with all successful TH-camrs and it was interesting to hear him touch on that as well. Thanks for this interview, I loved it.
Kia ora from New Zealand Beau and Jack. Thank you for making this very interesting video. Watching Beau's adventures is one of life's pleasures for me. This interview gives me much more insight about the philosophical., theoretical and practical processes behind each production.
I agree with the statement that one of the biggest attractions to him is his passion towards whatever project is in front of him and not giving attention to the shot of it. Love your work @BeauMiles
this was super interesting - really love to hear the thought process behind the films. Hang in there Beau with the burnout - lots of folks I see on youtube struggling with the same. Remember your audience is here for you (even if the algorithms feel unrelenting)
I have no interest in film making. None. But this video is one of the most interesting and informative things I've seen in ages. It's added a whole new dimension to your videos and from here on in I'll be watching them with this new and very interesting perspective. Thanks Beau.
You've had better luck finding him in San Fran than I have in Tassie, I keep expecting to find him in the middle of the bush ;-) Great video guys, thanks
Jack, I must admit I respect the A/B/C testing. Unless you're about to whip out a fourth unique thumbnail to test, which would just be sheer madness. Loved this video.
That was wonderful, Jack! A glimpse into the mind of one of the greasers filmmakers here on TH-cam. Also, I have to say, you're so good at asking the right questions at the right time.
Been watching and following the Ginger wonder for a couple of years. Never disappoints- I even did the mile an hr myself - and loved it.Beau has a wonderfully simple way of appealing to the “bloke” and gives great hope that we can do the same. We can’t of course but he really makes you stop and think. In my estimation the best film is building Helens cabin-
Love both of your work - thank you for pointing out the trust of the audience, this is the exact reason why your channels are amongst my absolute favourites - I don’t feel like I’m being spoon fed, instead I’m being challenged and inspired.
Jack, I remember when you were selling SOAP! I've always loved your energy, Im trying to be a good human with Beau's ability to remind me to be a good human. I absolutely LOVED this interview! You're an absolutely fantastic interviewer!
Ooooh one of my favourite people to watch on TH-cam on the series that I've been really enjoying! Knocking it out of the park with this series so ye are! Lovely beards by the way! 😀
That intro track felt so similar to Mr Blue Sky without actually being Mr Blue Sky... if this was the intention I am not sure.. but it fit the vibe of Beau perfectly.
I'm so glad you broke down the Mile and Hour video. It was the first of Beau's that I came across, and fell in love with. I was super inspired - not to run a marathon day, but to do a day of five or eight, one-mile walks, while squeezing productive stuff in between. I've done many of those five or eight mile days, since then. I sort of plan the day out, in writing...what I will do in between the walks. It feels so good to get all the walking in, get a lot done in between, and really keep distractions to a minimum. And meanwhile, Beau has become one of my husband's and my favorite youtubers, which is how we found you, Jack, and Digital Spaghetti. We watched the paragliding video, and now this. Thanks. Great interview, and we can tell you are a huge Beau Miles fan.
love this video and Beau's story telling and videos, as crazy as they are. Another Aussie I'd love to see you interview is Danny Hayes aka The Million Dollar Bogan, he makes great travel blogs of his trips on various Harley's, he's done many outback Australia trip, the Himalayers, Alaska, Bolivian Death Road etc, he does all editing and filming himself.
Really enjoyed this discussion and there's heaps to mull over. Beau's videos always feel like a nutritious gourmet meal. Exciting, easy to eat, digest and leaves you feeling really good.
Great interview, I love Beau's videos so it's a shame to hear the youtube money isn't enough so I think we're very lucky to have these videos. I tend to watch his videos on the weekend when I'm in the right headspace as they are quite insightful and I'm usually just too tired after work on a weekday for that level of engagement. Keep up the good work both of you 👍
Honest man, I’ve been trying to do filmmaking style TH-cam, I love it, I love to tell stories I have to recognise I have to learn lots but it is so hard to get into the space of filmmaking on TH-cam. As a solo creator it is very easy to burn out because we need to make money, and I have also realised people think about filmmaking as a slow videos, soft talk and colour gradient,. Sometimes it is easy to grow on TH-cam making other type of content that doesn’t requiere much time and effort at least that the case on TH-cam
@BeauMiles Wow, I am so glad you did this interview. I love your films and the insights to you thought process was so enjoyable. I'm also glad you dissected this film. 100% watching it for the umteenth time after this.
Brilliant interview guys! So engaging, informative and honest. I have even more respect for Beau, as a long time follower of his channel and as an adventurer myself. (We live not too far apart too and have paddled the same rivers I bet).
21:32 That is absolutely his biggest strength! It's something you can't make sense of technically, but the best stuff is when we're not thinking about anything other than what's going on in the video! Not how it's shot.
such an insightful interview! Thanks! really getting to love digital spaghetti and im getting soo motivated to move from photography to filmmaking and try experiment with storytelling. Much love from germany! 🌞
I would love to see these videos done in a real sports commentator booth setting to match the headsets, Jack doing the running commentary and the guest as the expert commentator, preferrably a real booth at some huuuuge venue ;)
@BeauMiles wanted to take a chance and follow up on this “let it breathe” process at 10:50 - how do you keep track of the clips that you cut but then realize “oh I want that back!” And also, how do you know what story beats are *missing* once you’re completely in the thick of the most-cut version of the edit? (More editors feel free to chime in too)
You remember. Also if you are not sure, I always keep my autosave premiere files, so can go back to any old edit I have done. Also breathing probably also means to just extend a clip for 5 seconds to give a pause. Just adding pauses, not always extra footage. That's my thoughts at least
Crazy that the owner of patreon is making content for TH-cam and even more crazy he only has 130k subs. Been watching Beau for years, ever since he walked to work, easy to relate to since I live pretty close to his former workplace, a lot closer than he does at least
If you don't like voiceover, think of it not as something that you edit into the video during production. Think of it as something that you are telling a viewer in real time as he/she watches it. As if the voiceover didn't happen during production but it's being spoken to them as they listen and watch the video. You have to sometimes compartmentalize your personality. There's the real Beau, for instance, then there's an omniscient Beau who can travel space and time. Also, that voiceover version of yourself needs his own voice. Don't feel like you are not being real in that moment. It's just another very real version of yourself. It's basically impossible and not necessary to sound exactly the same in conversation as you do in voiceover. Craft a voiceover style of speaking. Don't think of it as something that isn't as real as you because it is you. Real life you and voiceover you will have two different voices and that's not only ok, but it's also necessary. The viewer needs to experience the change from one personality to another and you mustn't rely only on visual ques. Don't say to yourself "they will know because they can hear me speaking while they see me running, or sleeping ..." The voiceover voice must have its own space and power and must be immediately recognizable in audio-only media such as a podcast, without any visual ques. Even if it's never made into a podcast, some people are blind, some people will be listening in the next room, etc. You are you; idea guy is you; writer guy is you; production guy is you; director guy is you; editor guy is you; voiceover guy is you. Use all of their talents and personalities.
Love Jack's facial expression in 10:50 - I guess he realizes this will be a great intro. (after Beau said "Great Storytelling is just reduction, reduction, reduction)
Great chat, interesting you didn’t talk about his Patreon (considering the link :p) which is a great way to get behind the scenes and also seems to be the financial driver of most of the best channels these days
You little Beauty, Jack, you likeable, engaged, the-air-up-there man! Simply enjoyed all this. An excellent day in good company.Thanks for the chat
So good! Beau you say you want less of you talking in your videos but I love your self talk that is half the reason I watch, your self talk makes it so relatable, funny and so entertaining. Keep going with it man
Great work man, You should do a bloody t-shirt to compensate you and your team hard work 🎉
Beau -- you hairy, tireless, fearless, mountain man. what a joy to get to sit down with you and hear how you think about making films. it is safe to say that you are truly, and without exaggeration, one in a freaking million.
Thanks .. learned a lot for my channel
A European tour of secret screenings??? Looking forward to am England date on this, south West England is obviously the best too
After watching this today I binged most of Beau's videos. Had never heard of him before today. He's so far above and beyond 99 percent of everything else on this platform. So inspiring.
On the TH-cam viewers average attention span, well, that goes out the window when I'm watching Beau ... I want longer videos. I simply can't get enough of Beau!
same here! I could watch all day
Awesome to get a behind-the-scenes look into my favorite TH-camr's process! I must say, it is the little documentarian touches, like having credits at the end of videos, that make Beau's channel feel like an apple in a sea of junk food (of course, the apple is from the side of the road).

I found Beau towards the beginning of this year and I have to say he and his team are fantastic story-makers. It's just so well done it's unbelievable. definitely the gold standard and boggles my mind that he isn't larger than he is.
Mile an hour is the best thing on youtube. Thanks both great chat.
Yeeees! I stumbled across Beau about 3 years ago. His storytelling is amazing and I can say he's the only youtuber whose book I own.
Agreed!!!
A the moment unavailable in Holland😢. Want to buy it as soon as i can though
I LOVE Beau's videos! He's a master storyteller and I was hooked after the first video of his I watched.
the final 5 minutes are beautiful. It’s so valuable to see the underlying drivers of creators, their expectations and their struggles. Thank you for keeping that in Jack!
We Love Beau!
Super bummed you feel that way about TH-cam though. You're honestly my favourite creator on here and it's now a family event when a new beau vid is released.

Don't stop the talking Beau... (11:30) Hearing your thoughts in that beautiful Australian accent is quite possibly my favorite part!
Found Beau's channel years ago now, watched everything. Every upload is a great dose of positivity, beautiful shots, a good story - just love it! And indeed, I've wondered why he doesn't have more viewers/subscribers. Keep going Beau, you're inspiring loads of people with your projects, fun, and thoughts!
What an amazing real dude , honest and humble . thank you for finding these inspiring characters
I think one of the strongest things about beau's and the teams work is that the work and story is centered in place. And the teams relationship to place is specific and centred.

I had never heard of your channel, but have been following Beau for years now! He's a legend :)

this channel is a gold mine
Kia ora from New Zealand Beau and Jack. Thank you for making this very interesting video. Watching Beau's adventures is one of life's pleasures for me. This interview gives me much more insight about the philosophical., theoretical and practical processes behind each production.
Great video! I've followed Beau since the kayak trip in south Africa! I love his mentally to the task and his down to earth personality
I agree with the statement that one of the biggest attractions to him is his passion towards whatever project is in front of him and not giving attention to the shot of it. Love your work @BeauMiles
Beau and the team are great at what they do. Jack did a great job breaking it down with the right questions.
Thank you so much Beau. Of all the videos on Digital Spaghetti (and there are some absolute bangers) this one has spoken to me the most.
Thank you for bringing all these great filmmakers onto this channel. Immensely valuable.
this was super interesting - really love to hear the thought process behind the films. Hang in there Beau with the burnout - lots of folks I see on youtube struggling with the same. Remember your audience is here for you (even if the algorithms feel unrelenting)
I have no interest in film making. None. But this video is one of the most interesting and informative things I've seen in ages. It's added a whole new dimension to your videos and from here on in I'll be watching them with this new and very interesting perspective. Thanks Beau.
Been waiting for this one since Beau uploaded his collab video a few weeks ago!
What an interesting view into the ingredients for these wonderful films Beau and his team make.
You've had better luck finding him in San Fran than I have in Tassie, I keep expecting to find him in the middle of the bush ;-) Great video guys, thanks
Jack, I must admit I respect the A/B/C testing.
Unless you're about to whip out a fourth unique thumbnail to test, which would just be sheer madness.
Loved this video.
We would if only youtube would let us!
Glad to see you continually find quality creators I love that I assume no one else knows.
That was wonderful, Jack! A glimpse into the mind of one of the greasers filmmakers here on TH-cam. Also, I have to say, you're so good at asking the right questions at the right time.
Great interview with top-notch questions. Nice to hear some different angle on Beau's misfitty brain (I mean that in a good way).
Been watching and following the Ginger wonder for a couple of years. Never disappoints- I even did the mile an hr myself - and loved it.Beau has a wonderfully simple way of appealing to the “bloke” and gives great hope that we can do the same. We can’t of course but he really makes you stop and think. In my estimation the best film is building Helens cabin-
I've been following Beau from the start on You Tube , I felt in love with the quality of his content and his crazy ideas :)
Love both of your work - thank you for pointing out the trust of the audience, this is the exact reason why your channels are amongst my absolute favourites - I don’t feel like I’m being spoon fed, instead I’m being challenged and inspired.
Great chat! Helpful dose of reality for someone like myself trying to carve out a corner on adventure TH-cam.
Man, I love your channel
Jack, I remember when you were selling SOAP! I've always loved your energy, Im trying to be a good human with Beau's ability to remind me to be a good human. I absolutely LOVED this interview! You're an absolutely fantastic interviewer!
Great video. That particular video of Beau's is just perfection. One of the best on TH-cam. Great job, Jack.
this channel is giving me so much motivation! and also alot of very usefull information. much love!!!!!
Brilliant, honest conversation. Thank you, Beau and Jack.
What a great show this is! Love creators talking about the craft.
Wow! Great insights. TY!
Sad to see so many people miss this great channel and Beau. 😢 Wish you all the best and success🎉🎉
Absolutely brilliant. Thanks for this.
Ooooh one of my favourite people to watch on TH-cam on the series that I've been really enjoying! Knocking it out of the park with this series so ye are! Lovely beards by the way! 😀
Love this creative adventurer!
That intro track felt so similar to Mr Blue Sky without actually being Mr Blue Sky... if this was the intention I am not sure.. but it fit the vibe of Beau perfectly.
Not far off at all! That'll be a Pomplamoose cover
th-cam.com/video/PyUNDr0EcAk/w-d-xo.htmlsi=AUQAD4nsthxIHyRf
Beau you're a legend and I'd love to come to a secret screening in Europe next year!
Jack thanks for doing these amazing conversations.
I'm so glad you broke down the Mile and Hour video. It was the first of Beau's that I came across, and fell in love with. I was super inspired - not to run a marathon day, but to do a day of five or eight, one-mile walks, while squeezing productive stuff in between. I've done many of those five or eight mile days, since then. I sort of plan the day out, in writing...what I will do in between the walks. It feels so good to get all the walking in, get a lot done in between, and really keep distractions to a minimum.

Whenever I see what Beau makes, I just want to see more! Thanks, Beau!
Beau thanks for sharing love this, Jack thanks for the insightful questions. Keep up the hard work.
So true, Jack @21:41 . I love Beau.
21:54 spot on!! Love watching Beau’s vids.
love this video and Beau's story telling and videos, as crazy as they are. Another Aussie I'd love to see you interview is Danny Hayes aka The Million Dollar Bogan, he makes great travel blogs of his trips on various Harley's, he's done many outback Australia trip, the Himalayers, Alaska, Bolivian Death Road etc, he does all editing and filming himself.
Really enjoyed this discussion and there's heaps to mull over. Beau's videos always feel like a nutritious gourmet meal. Exciting, easy to eat, digest and leaves you feeling really good.
Great interview, I love Beau's videos so it's a shame to hear the youtube money isn't enough so I think we're very lucky to have these videos. I tend to watch his videos on the weekend when I'm in the right headspace as they are quite insightful and I'm usually just too tired after work on a weekday for that level of engagement. Keep up the good work both of you 👍
Such a valuable insite into Beau's videography. Excellent, thanks indeed. Beau, you are a little ripper! Come to Nelson NZ some time for a ride!
So enjoyed this insight into the wisdom behind Beauism wisdom
Honest man, I’ve been trying to do filmmaking style TH-cam, I love it, I love to tell stories I have to recognise I have to learn lots but it is so hard to get into the space of filmmaking on TH-cam. As a solo creator it is very easy to burn out because we need to make money, and I have also realised people think about filmmaking as a slow videos, soft talk and colour gradient,. Sometimes it is easy to grow on TH-cam making other type of content that doesn’t requiere much time and effort at least that the case on TH-cam
Fantastic convo i was able to be part Beau what a magic person !
Lovely chat Gents. Beautiful insights. Thanks for getting this video out to this wannabe filmmaker. 🎖🤩
Great interview! Love hearing the details, and I've watched all of Beau's TH-cam videos 💙 Keep making them! Hello from NW Florida
This was just fantastic. Thank you!
@BeauMiles Wow, I am so glad you did this interview. I love your films and the insights to you thought process was so enjoyable. I'm also glad you dissected this film. 100% watching it for the umteenth time after this.
Brilliant interview guys! So engaging, informative and honest. I have even more respect for Beau, as a long time follower of his channel and as an adventurer myself. (We live not too far apart too and have paddled the same rivers I bet).
Saints this is really good. A whole tutorial in a brief interview. I'm saving this for future reference...
21:32 That is absolutely his biggest strength! It's something you can't make sense of technically, but the best stuff is when we're not thinking about anything other than what's going on in the video! Not how it's shot.
This is such a instructional and inspirational video guys - thanks very much 🙏
such an insightful interview! Thanks! really getting to love digital spaghetti and im getting soo motivated to move from photography to filmmaking and try experiment with storytelling. Much love from germany! 🌞
Loving this channel, Jack
Thanks for putting in the effort, it is much appreciated! 🙂
unlocked and empowering!! I ❤ that statement.
Had no idea that Beau did the tours, now I live in New Zealand, Id love to see one of these!
Wow! I’m so happy to see both of you weirdos in one video. Love both your styles!
Thank you for recognizing the Miles Magic!
I remember this video. I decided to do that one weekend. Got alot done and ran many miles. Wife thought I was crazy. She's never seen Beau.
I just love your interviews. Keep them going
This was a pleaseure to watch, thanks for this one Jack!
Beau is the beeeeeeest!!
We do need to hear Beau bang on about
I agree that Beau definitely deserves a larger audience!
Inspiring and amazing as always . Thank you so much. Your story telling ideas are incredible. How smart are you?…
I would love to see these videos done in a real sports commentator booth setting to match the headsets, Jack doing the running commentary and the guest as the expert commentator, preferrably a real booth at some huuuuge venue ;)
@BeauMiles wanted to take a chance and follow up on this “let it breathe” process at 10:50 - how do you keep track of the clips that you cut but then realize “oh I want that back!” And also, how do you know what story beats are *missing* once you’re completely in the thick of the most-cut version of the edit?
(More editors feel free to chime in too)
You remember.
Also if you are not sure, I always keep my autosave premiere files, so can go back to any old edit I have done.
Also breathing probably also means to just extend a clip for 5 seconds to give a pause. Just adding pauses, not always extra footage.
That's my thoughts at least
Beau might be one of the best modern human beings alive
Good start to the week!
I'm a huge fan of Beau! honestly, first time I watched the whole ds video from start to finish ))) maybe it's a bit shorter then usual )))
Crazy that the owner of patreon is making content for TH-cam and even more crazy he only has 130k subs. Been watching Beau for years, ever since he walked to work, easy to relate to since I live pretty close to his former workplace, a lot closer than he does at least
thank you so much

Even if it's never made into a podcast, some people are blind, some people will be listening in the next room, etc. You are you; idea guy is you; writer guy is you; production guy is you; director guy is you; editor guy is you; voiceover guy is you. Use all of their talents and personalities.
Jack. Thanks.

I LOVE THIS INTROOO
