    I'm just here to offer my one tip. If your video feels dull and boring and slow. Watch through it, but every time you feel like it's getting boring, pause the video. Add a cut there and delete the remainder of the clip. That space needs to be filled by a new shot. Keep doing this through your whole video and watch how much energy is added to your edit.

      Hi, thank you - great tip. I have one question (I am kinda new to the video editing scene) - Daniel Mentioned that sometimes videos really need just one or few frames to be adjusted but what if the footage was already edited to the beat of the music - is there a way to adjust the music to this "faster" video flow when you dont want to mess up your video?

    • @backtocooking
      @backtocooking ปีที่แล้ว

      @@achiles522 I’m a beginner at this too, but I wouldn’t suggest speeding up the music, rather edit the speed of the video. If you edit the song, all the other shots fall out of sequence and you can affect pitch too. If you just take two frames and go at 98% speed, it still looks natural 😊

    I started watching your videos years ago before I could even afford a camera. I remember replaying your edits over and over again until I could finally break down how everything was coming together. After a summer in construction I spent my savings on a camera and started making videos and throwing them on instagram. As a long shot looking to make back my money I tried to slide into the dms of a local smoothie chain. Their media manager was super chill and loved my other content, so she agreed to let me shoot some short videos. Referrals from that longshot job have landed me to a full time job in media production. Not only do you set the bar for content awesomeness but you are also willing to share your advice/skills.

    Hi Daniel, I've been following your videos for a long time and they give me meaning for what I want to do in life.
    As a beginner/intermediate, I have a video suggestion for you. In order to give a guideline to enthusiasts, it would be interesting to make a video on the essentials to have to start with, a small studio at home. Even if it means making a list in order of priority. :)
    I did some research, but we quickly fell into a rabbit hole with all the lights, diffusers, back drops and accessories such as sliders and filters.
    Thank you again for your wonderful inspiring work!

    @JeremiahBostwick 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

    This is an underrated understanding in general and I'll admit that I was guilty of this for a long long time. I eventually figured it out from watching a lot of other people's work and realizing over and over again that I was being far too precious with my clips thinking that "more was more", when it really wasn't. And so looking back at stuff from 5 years ago can be pretty painful, as time away from those projects makes me scream at the screen: "move on already!"
    It was that changing in thinking that finally got me to realize, just hit the sweet spot of action, and like you say not leaving time before or after. Sometimes I think it's appropriate to have "delayed action" or a "lingering shot" (as you say), but that is by far in the minority of cases and should only be used to inform the viewer. It's particularly useful if it's about a character as an example being very methodical or hyper deliberate. But even in that case you'd likely hold the shot to show the action being repeated, methodically. Certainly for a reel or any commercial you'd virtually never do this on the order of 99.99% of the time.
    The other way it has been discussed in "classic film-making" is "always cut on the action", not after. We don't need to even see the completion (as you note in this video) virtually any of the time. Our minds create that for us. This is so simple, so basic, yet so vital. Because we though seeing it in others' work may not grasp it for ourselves. And as I noted at the beginning, I feel like it took me far too long to realize how common a mistake it was in my own work (and I'm still guilty of it sometimes. The longer I work on a piece, generally the more honed it becomes, but virtually all my fast edits should be trimmed down more).

    Assembly, editing, disturbs the passage of time, interrupts it and
    simultaneously gives it something new. The distortion of time can be
    a means of giving it rhythmical expression.
    Sculpting in time!
    But the deliberate joining of shots of uneven time-pressure must
    not be introduced casually; it has to come from inner necessity, from
    an organic process going on in the material as a whole. The minute
    the organic process of the transitions is disturbed, the emphasis of the
    editing (which the director wants to hide) starts to obtrude; it is laid
    bare, it leaps to the eye.
