    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.

    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.

    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.

    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?

    • @tomasr27
      @tomasr27 4 ปีที่แล้ว +3

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

    • @EricsMaineLife
      @EricsMaineLife 4 ปีที่แล้ว

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

    • @jeffbruer8735
      @jeffbruer8735 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      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.

    • @PrincessAndJuan
      @PrincessAndJuan 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      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.

  • @mensmentorship2740

    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.
