one of my peeves is how many TH-camrs do set-up shots. As in, they open the mail box, put the camera in. Close the mail box. Open the mail box so they have a shot of them opening the mailbox... Or... drive up, get out of the car, place the camera, get back in the car, back out, drive back in again so they have a shot of "pulling up in the car"... knowing how much time they're having to put into all of that just takes me out of it.
@@MarkLewisfitness Amen to that Mark. Casey gets away with it because he's so good, anyone else is just a no. On another note I'm happy to discover I'm not the only one who suffers from the "spend the maximum possible on your latest hobby" afffliction. Been stung a few times with that one!
I guess it's more of a compliment on how well the script was written and prepared that people think that you make it up on the spot. Always love the videos, Mark! And you can always get a black leather couch if you are thinking of switching out the current one.
Switching to a teleprompter was the best thing for us. Saves lots of annoying retakes, speeds up editing time, and cuts down on storage costs. The art is making it look like you’re not reading from it, which you do well.
Never get tired of the duck pond podium cut! Love it and glad we have another “behind the scenes” video of the life of Mark Lewis - TH-camr! Hope you never get tired of that title and I trust your son gets his cut given that crushing his likes and views set you on this amazing journey. At the very least I expect you’re rubbing his nose in it that you’ve got more views than him. 😂🎉
Who would have thought a tour of someone's office would be so interesting (and funny). Another great video and I can see why your productions are top notch.
Not gonna lie Mark, my favourite part was Nixon demonstrating the treadmill. But with that said, I like the set up a lot. You’ve cracked the TH-cam code with all this kit. I know the hardest part is definitely the first 10k. But as someone who’s been subscribed from around 7k, I could see you were already on the right path. So to hit 150k a year on is a fantastic achievement, but with your set up and good looks, was inevitable 😂
I made a comment about you having a GPZ900 last year jokingly, now you actually have one! Between that and the Seiko you are a man after my own heart. Just starting a weight loss program myself, your many videos on the subject are really helping, thanks dude
Always find your videos really well produced and edited. I think it is credit to you that I find myself focusing on the content rather than the quality of the recording. 👍
Mark, West Wing was a cool show. Your lighting and audio are always spot on. Thanks for the peek behind the curtain on your setup, and you better take it easy with that vibrating ball.
In one of your videos you said you wished you had started filming your progress earlier. Having not long turned 40 being 6’5 and being “tubby” I’m thinking of doing just that. Thank you for the inspiration.
I'll be honest, this is a great video. Love the way you connected the Duck Pond award to the Duck Pond video clip. Really good insight into maximising your space. Looking forward to seeing the Zwift set up in the upstairs room 😎
@@MarkLewisfitness Have you tried throwing coins out the door to give him a reason to leave? If not try the old inflatable mattress floating in the pond trick.
WAIT A MINUTE!! You use a teleprompter?! I thought you came up with all your witty content completely off the cuff. My world is shattered!! 😂 Absolutely love your channel and refer to you (to my husband) as "my friend Mark." As in, "my friend Mark has a new video out. We need to watch it together!" EDIT - Just hit play again, and I wasn't the only one who was surprised by the teleprompter statement?!!
Love the channel Mark, very inspirational to get up off my backside and get those runs in (especially as we share the same duck pond 😂) - keep up the great work, but more importantly sticking to your principles whilst building the channel, as this really keeps you a cut above the rest.
People thinking you just make stuff up when you go along is a great compliment to your ability to read from the teleprompter without it being obvious. And I agree... :-)
Let's start a game. We drink a protein shake and do 5 pushups whenever we either see the "duck pond trophy clip" or the "Mark falling off his bycicle in his garage clip". :)
Hey Mark have you seen this watch or thoughts Amazfit Falcon Military-Grade Smart Watch for Men, Dual-Band & 6 Satellite Positioning, Multi-Sport GPS Watch, Strength Training, Titanium Body, 150+ Sports Modes, 200m Water-Resistance
@@brianpurcell9058 Love Nixon! Cycling youtuber Phil Gaimon posted a video the other day that was about 10 minutes of the video from a GoPro strapped to his dog Creature that he called CreatureCam. He thought nobody would want to watch it, but we did. Pretty shaky, but fun to get a dog's view of a trail run.
script/teleprompt process is precisely what we use in professional sales presentations - write it down, read it out, edit and repeat until it's refined.
Awesome vid today Mark. Love the use of your setup. Do you cut and paste the audio in your H1N during the edit or is it already synced to the video file? That said, all my shows are now 1 take.... no script and makes for some very focused moments..
I go old school - I use a clapper board at the beginning, and then sync the zoom audio to the video in FCPx. No matter what alternatives I have tried, I never get such consistent audio any other way.
Hi Mark, thank you for the great content. Always a pleasure to watch. Quik question, what tool is that you use on your desk to edit your video's? Thank you
I’m curious about your experience using the xoom audio and merging that with video. Is that more of a pain than doing audio into a video program or better because it’s a better audio recorder?
Nice little den. Saw on Insta the bike Canyon sent you was busted - sorry to see that they let you down, how infuriating! Looking forward to seeing the Specialized out and about soon 💪
Hi Mark, thanks for the visit, very informative! And I like the start as you plan to go along mentality. Another question: How are you getting along with the watch ultra, still any good?
Awesome vid! I don't know if you've answered elsewhere, but if you had to hazard a guess, what would you say was the initial investment in TH-cam gear and how much d'you reckon you've (usefully) spent now? Just curious!
£5k prob. iMac, camera, Len’s, etc. hard to say what I have spent now, do you include the fitness gear I buy? If it’s simply filming/video/editing stuff - probably £10-15k
That’s a really hard question-in theory, it is 100% full time. Some days I will be in there at six in the morning and not leave until midnight. But then, what is defined as work? I have just come off a two hour bike session that I was filming, I wouldn’t have done it if I didn’t need it for TH-cam - so is that work or is that fun?
Hi Mark I just finished your 4 x 4 x 48 video and you said, that you just come back from runs, take a shower and hopped in those compression boots. You didn't do any stretching? Sorry new to running and have started following your channel, just had to ask.
@Mark Lewis agreed on chairs, but check out the qor360, best stupidly overpriced chair I've ever bought (the opposite of a traditional ergonomic chair)
Ohhhhh. Probably the TH-cam stuff. I love the creative element. If I had to throw away all my sports gear, apart from a pair of trainers, I’ve got to keep the studio-I still find a way to make content.
Glad to finally see this! You triggered me to start creating, as you know I'm a bit of the same 'story' but it's our personalities that make it fun. Keep being awesome Mark, we might meet sometime when I'm A. Fitter and B. A bigger youtuber :) Cheers!
One of the things I love about TH-cam is the "amature" style it gives normal people with ideas the chance to Create something and get it out in the world. With out some annoying studio that have to produce it.. First example that comes to mind is JackAss I loved them until they got a producer, and for me it lost the Charm.. When you have Stoopid people doing stupid stuff with a pro film and edit team behind them just feels wrong.... The way you Edit Mark is simple and really relaxing style to watch I can just listen to what you say tab out play my game.. Where if you take a Pro like Casey N. you will not get anything out of that vid if you Tab out. His work is something you have to Watch and not listen to..
Just a little look around the studio 😀🎬
The fact that you don't abuse jump cuts does not go unnoticed nor unappreciated :)
Made my day 😆
one of my peeves is how many TH-camrs do set-up shots. As in, they open the mail box, put the camera in. Close the mail box. Open the mail box so they have a shot of them opening the mailbox...

The Chair theorie is perfect and I have to remember that. Nice work place. Thx for the tour.

Who would have thought a tour of someone's office would be so interesting (and funny). Another great video and I can see why your productions are top notch.
Thanks, Mark, great video.
“Start as you mean to go on” 🤜🏽🤛🏽
The photo of Joshua with the “Not Current” caption in context of you discussing western fiscal policy is comedic gold. Well done!
To be honest, his understanding of any fiscal policy is probably not much different then 😂

hey mark. new subscriber. big fan. thanks for producing content for us to enjoy.
Nixon looks like he's training for a race. When will we see him featured again?
It’s not a TRUE mark lewis video without the duck pond 10k flexing clip 😂
150k subs mate 🎉congrats!
I watched for the dog exercise clickbait , was not disappointed
9:15 Your first Max Headroom reference!
It feels like it was a few days ago you hit 100k subs, now on 150k. impressive
Envious, moi? Super video, and useful, as ever!

I agree. But some people are genuinely disappointed ! 🙄
@@MarkLewisfitness I don't see you using anything to advance the text in the prompter. Do you just set it to auto scroll and you have to keep up?
Let's start a game. We drink a protein shake and do 5 pushups whenever we either see the "duck pond trophy clip" or the "Mark falling off his bycicle in his garage clip". :)
Very envious of the GPZ, love the doggo treadmill 😂
Very informative and fun. Having that pack of chocolate biscuits so close by must be tough sometimes.
Which light do you have on the ceiling? And do you find it plenty bright enough?
Qq. How do you use the teleprompter - with an ipad? And what software do you use/recommend? Is it set to auto-scroll or auto-detects your voice?
Another quality vid but that’s hardly surprising 👊🏾👍🏾👏🏾
Great job on all the excellent work and everything, but oh my god can we have more treadmill dog please?
Working on it!
