Thanks again Brandon, I wish more content creators would pay it forward the way you have been. It helps us a great deal and I for one always look forward to learning from you!
⚜💜⚜ you have Beautiful Videos too⚜❤⚜
DIY for CATs by Hohentwielbirmas thank you, really appreciate it!
I agree! Subscribed
Hey Brandon
Loving your tips videos. Please do more!
Ditto!
Don't really comment on youtube vids but maaaaan love the insights you bring within the filmmaking community! You do it selflessly for all us to learn a stack of knowledge that would take us days, weeks even years to learn. If I could I would buy you a beer.
I'll take that beer!
Deal! When you're in New Zealand that's us
Me also want that beer :) greetings from Bali
May I give you a little editing exercise? I learnt it in film school... but it helped me loads in understanding the difference between "a shot" and "a shot with it's intention". Basically take a movie you like and take out some parts of that movie. And with these parts... try telling a 1 minute sorry without sound. If you'd like music. But the importance is, even if they are talking. it's not important what they are saying. I managed to create a little comedic story just with the rocky film. My problem was that I didn't realy grasp the idea of the shot, cause I worked on those edits with the preconception and knowledge I had, that were the intentions of that shot and what i was followed by. So the teacher sat next to me and asked: what do you see... Rocky balboa is training. He said wrong. Forget about the story... What Do You See? A guy running. Next shot, What do you see? A woman and a man walking on ice. And so on. I finally got it. So even if you shoot something... try to see if what you shot, you can give it a different meaning to during the edit, then iwhat it was intended for. This also helps a lot in editing and also pacing. Because you really only concentrate on that shot and what it happening within that time frame.
Just added this to my favorites.
Hey Daaave! :D
Probably one of the most important pieces of advice I been able to take away since starting this youtube journey. Thank you.
the 24 hours break or longer is 100% true, disconnect from it. you will see lots of mistakes and things you can improve looking later at it
sometimes i even need a week to break that connection 😅
But will it ever stop? :) or can you keep revisiting and changing it forever?
so much valuable information/insight, thank you so much!
amazing to see this comment after how much you've grown in youtube.
Hi Brandon, I'm not a video producer but a writer and I actually find a lot of the advice is applicable to story telling via words as well. Just love love love the quality of your videos and all the insights you share. Thank you Brandon for being so thought provoking!
There are just a few practical adviser in the internet. And the most credible is Brandon Li. Thank you for supporting us!
Brandon, you are sooo right! I never thought about asking what is a good pace for the edit!
I've always asked myself during editing whether a clip is too long, too short, and what length I should make it...but never thought about asking someone else!
Also, having you share some of your insight on workflow during the edit is good stuff! I'm fairly new to video and editing, so this is great stuff!
Thank you for sharing!
Still golden pieces of advice 5 years later , thanks Brandon
Duuuude yes Brandon! These tips are so killer!
Thanks Matt! I used your a6300 picture profile a while back. Enjoy your channel as well.
Awesome!! I took a bit of inspiration from you on my latest video on my channel. It's a travel film, would love it if you could check it out. :)
Fantastic! I am a musician and composer of soundtracks and to hear you place so much importance on the value of music in editing film makes my heart soar! Lately I have begun photography and video making. It is a very fun challenge and your advice is very helpful! It doesn't matter how old this upload is, you have brightened my day! Thank you!
In six minutes, you have completely changed the way I approached editing. My mindset was always: "edit to the beat" as I was constantly worried about a mismatch between the footage. The irony is that it is often the mismatch which arouses and retains one's interest in a video. As usual, thank you for all of your advice! Very much appreciated!
tips no one asked for but needed. it's making me look at my previous videos so differently and making me excited for the videos to come. as always, thanks brandon li!
You took this from my mouth. I've been researching pacing as I found from experience that it's very key in the storytelling. This dude just popped up when i DIDN'T SEARCH. Great guy indeed
Years later this video is still heavy with knowledge and I applaud you for taking the time to make it!
DUUUUUDE!!!! Just vimeo'd out on your work and then went to look for some tutorials from you on youtube and found this. PERFECT TIMING. I've been stuck on this one edit for 2 weeks now because of lack of motivation, focusing on the intro, bored of it, jumping around the timeline wit bits and pieces, and just easily distracted. This video is just what i needed to hear. Thanks for the inspiration and motivation. Your work is pure gold man. Keep the advice coming! We all need it.
Thanks Brandon, you don't realise how helpful these types of videos are!
That last advice-I feel the same as a writer. I force myself to step away when I *think* I'm done with writing because I almost always find something I can improve on when I read it again.
Thank you very much for your advice! You're truly one of the best out there 👌
Thanks for the tips. Take a break is very important so we can have ideas or new ideas to edit.
Plus you see it as a person who's watching it for the first time.
You notice things which you couldn't if you worked on it for a longer time.
Incredibly well explained. 100% agree with taking a break. After editing for too long you start to make mistakes and forget the purpose of your video. Best and most humble filmmaker out there. Keep it up
Those are all really great tips! Thanks Brandon :)
I really appreciate your videos as an amateur myself - you speak very matter of factly but have the wisdom and experience to back it up.. glad I found your channel
this is so true, I just discovered it myself yesterday and youtube recommended your old lesson to me, so nice
My favorite advise here is to edit against the beat cuz that's so new to me and so helpful, especially now when everybody focus on, to captivate his/her audience. Man i love these insights. I think he is one those few film makers whose advises should be spread out to all the filmmaking community .
Awesome to see that I'm not the only one that uses music to pace out all my edits
One of your videos popped up as a suggested video for me, and I'm so glad I watched it! You're crazy talented & I'm loving these "Brandon Film School" vids!! Thanks for all the amazing insight, Brandon!
Glad someone's finally focusing on the more abstract, fundamental concepts of filmmaking.
I'm definitely a victim of being a slave to cutting to the beat, and your other tips are hard lessons to learn. I get addicted to certain sections and want to pull all nighters to see the project done as quick as possible.
This so helpful in my cinematography subjects, new subscriber
I completely agree with the leaving your edit alone for a while. Even as a novice editor I find it really helpful to step away and then later on coming back rewatching it in the perspective of a viewer and pick out the little things I can't fix on such as maybe a clip is slightly too long or cutting our unnecessary footage.
One of the most informative and entertaining creators on TH-cam. Thank you for all of your insight and stunning content
Wonderful way of opening the way you "think" a video! I would also recommend to take a break for a day or so, once you finished filtering all the material so your brain can digest all the information. Creative ideas will flow better and always carry a notebook to write down your thoughts.
I'm definitely guilty of not taking a break while cutting. Great tips here 👍🏻
This is such a profound piece of advice for editors. Especially, walking away from your edit and coming back with fresh eyes.
It feels so good to hear something fresh and new, thanks for the time!!
Brandon Li is so underrated. You are one of the best out here in TH-cam! Keep it up!
You are TH-cam gold! Great advice and the timing for me couldn't be better. Thanks a million!
Absolute golden advice! I've just come up on 1 year on TH-cam. I've done a video every week for a year, and I've learned a lot. This video really helped put the rest of the pieces of the puzzle together. Cheers. Keep posting stuff like this! People like me find it invaluable.
Your channel has helped me find out so much about cinematography. This channel is one of the best guides for beginners. That and self experimentation.
Super helpful. Extremely new to film editing and this is great info. Appreciate it.
Video gets released right as I'm working on a faster pace edit over the past 2 days... prefect timing!!!!
As usual, awesome tips! I've been editing for 15 years and became a true believer that the pace is what makes the editing stand out. Cheers from Brazil :) Thanks for another great video!
I totally agree with you Brandon. Especially the part when you have to take a break on the edit.
A fresh insight from a knowledgeable editor. Straight from the Chef. Good video.
I have started watching your videos recently. and to be honest it made me comment that how could I find your content so late!!
All of your videos cover those small details of content creation which is most important. Right from cinematography to music and editing. Please keep making videos. I really appreciate it and follow the information.
Seriously Brandon.... video after video! You've easily become my favorite TH-camr and the most helpful one!!!
Wow really great points you made Brandon. Pacing is so important to keep the viewer engaged and interested, and I totally agree about taking a break from you edit once you think your done, ya always find things that need tweaking once you watch it again. Subbed for sure! 👍
Thanks for helping me by pointing out some important aspects of editing. I've been searching for a couple of days on youtube trying to find information that has less to do with how the editor works and more to do with how your story gets created and told. Definitely subscribing to your channel. Looking forward to more......
I struggle with pacing. I usually don’t notice the pacing issues until I walk away from the edit for a day or two. I like your points on watching music videos with the sound off, and using cinematic music. Thanks for taking the time to make these videos. I find them very helpful.
excellent advice Brandon!! as an editor I perfectly understand what you're talking about. I particularly agree with your 3rd piece of advice where you say that you need to take a break from your edits to just refresh your eyes and might see something a little bit different .
I also edit all my videos to the instrumental music such as soundtracks and immediate music...I love it when the waves of the audio go up and down like a choppy ocean- i always need those buildups and change of beat as opposed to working with a monotone sound throughout the whole vid. with the different beats you can play around with the pace like u said that gives different emotions to the viewer
You’ve grown into my favorite videography youtuber by far. Inspirational and crazy informative. So much value added from you
haha I am so addicted to the intro, but there's beauty in that, isn't there?
If you started an online film school... I would definitely pay/ apply !!
Brax Chat
AMEN! I’d pay too. He’s excellent!
Brax Chat don’t give him ideas, yt is fine
Great tips man. Thank you much. You seem so calm and natural in these types of instructional videos, its obvious that you know this stuff inside and out.
Best tips / inspirational!! Really appreciate all your videos!
omg! I've been waiting to get this answer! Thank you so much! Yo have made my day! I always try to set the pace with the music but people never seen to get that my videos is set to the beat of the music. I will be working on the exercises that you suggested.
Excellent video! I teach English online and a good deal of it is me in front of a whiteboard, but I've been looking for ways to spice things up visually. Happy to have found your channel!
Thanks Brandon, I admire those masters of the art that share so freely. Your work is amazing.
So much useful info in a 6 minute video! I definitely tend to cut to the beat too much and it totally makes sense that mixing up your cuts keeps the interest. Thanks Brandon
I'm so glad I found this video! great tips and advice to make the edits more interesting, learning from music video editing is exactly what I should be doing.
Much appreciated. You are so spot on and i appreciate the time it took for you to share this. Cheers from Australia.
Ok, this was actually really helpful! As someone new to cinematography you explain everything so well!
on the subject of music, great points. I once used a more classical song for some hip hop dancers in the park. I looooooved the result, by walking away from what is expected to something unexpected. Looking a the waveforms does make a difference, finding the right places for the transitions....The music is an important factor, it enhances the experience of the viewer.
the only channel that i feel giving away new knowledge
Thanks Brendon. You are awesome. These little tips go long way in making a great edit
Excellent vid! Thank u
thank you so so very much brandon!! this is perfect timing for me because i am having troubles editing my demo reel for my school project... i didnt know where or how to start and even choosing the music to work with. i feel like my eyes have been opened by your tutorial! so thank you 🙏🙏 you're the best!!
I consider myself a successful and talented filmmaker/editor and wow this video was such an eye opener! Makes me excited to edit. Thank you!
Thanks brother. Your videos help bring inspiration regardless of what the video is about.
brandon you’re good. Your advice are really helpful. I watched all your videos. Please update more!
thanks for sharing the knowledge Brandon!! don't no if you realize the inspiration and the spark that you're creating in people like myself into creating new ideas. big up Homie
My wife watches your videos with me and she isn’t interested in making videos and she thinks your simplistic explanations are great!
Breaks are key.
And you're a G.
Thanks, as always!
Thank you for this. You have no idea how much you inspire me with your videos!
I am so glad I just discovered your channel ! Your my new filmmaking guru !!!
the GOAT of videography!
Just found your channel, one of the best educational ones on youtube. Fantastic, instant sub.
Thanks Brandon, can't wait for the next one!
Words of wisdom. Thank you for your time and effort to make these videos!
You know what Brandon, I think what you are saying makes a lot of sense. I am a real estate agent and agents are the worst offenders. For the most part, we all make the same lame videos. They all look & sound the same. With this instruction you gave here, I aim to change all that. Thanks man!
Awesome content Brandon! Thanks for spending the time making these.
I was just talking about this on Instagram. I’m glad to see someone who’s more experienced say the same thing.
Exactly what I needed to understand. I've been guilty of cutting on the same beat but realized how "metronomic" that is. great tips!
Another great video! One thing I find helpfull sometimes is to flip the entire video horizontally to be able to look at it with 'fresh eyes'.
Love that idea. Anything to trick the mind into seeing it fresh
it's a great idea, or watch your video from a mirror if you don't know how to flip the video horizontally:)
Sometimes I keep the video as it is and then I view it whilst in a head stand position. It gets blood to the brain, too, which helps. :)
Not so silly. I just finished some work with stills. To be sure the images really work, I turn them upside down. If the composition still looks right - win! Hadn't thought about applying this to video. Use a horizontal mirror? Hold the monitor upside down? Probably safer for those of us for whom a headstand is only a faint dream.
Anyway, thanks for the music suggestion.
i would do this when painting.
Thank you Brandon. You are the best!
This is exactly what I have been looking for. "when" to make cuts. The reason I didn't ask is cuz I only found you today :)
Man. I never even thought about editing to music and removing it later to get a baseline for pacing. I will definitely have to try that out! Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us all!
taking breaks really helps me, every time I come back to see what I've put together, I always change things
wow I never thought of putting music first! my edits are currently blocky so this would help a ton!
This was one of the things that I was meaning to ask you but never did for some reason.. I'm glad you beat me to it! Thanks for sharing your knowledge and experience ! Can't wait to see more of your stuff!
I totally agree. Pacing is Oh so important.
So true about what you said about taking a break from editing. I have a problem of grinding through 16hrs editing sometimes and get impatient and end up posting vids that I regret later because of simple mistakes I notice days later
Excellent tips! I am filming a big production in late July and this video helps with perspective. Thank you
Wow, spot on advice like usual Brandon. I've been in an editing slump recently on a big project and your advice was so relevant. Keep answering those tricky things no one is asking and thanks for spending the time!
Thanks Brandon... this was SUPER helpful and has given me lots of fresh ideas to take my next edit up a notch.
I had to smile when you said that you spend a lot of time on the opening. I'm doing that too. Great tips! Will keep an eye on that in my edits
Thanks Brandon. It’s difficult to tear myself away from an edit. Taking a break is so important.
stumbled upon your channel yesterday and again today, digging your vids and vibe, you've earned yourself a sub. keep up the hustle man
Thanks for your two cents Brandon. Appreciate it!
Thanks for the tips Brandon! Going to go find some music videos right now.
With anything I created on my computer in the past (edit, music, animation etc.) I would always at least sleep on it before uploading. I feel like after a good nights sleep I can see/hear it with a new perspective.
I actually do nearly everything you said even before watching this and I cant agree more !! especially with the tips about switching the music out with another to see how the pacing goes. I do that all the time! Great tip Brandon! :)
