- 5 reasons TH-cam videos are getting repetitive, boring and cookie cutter. Everyone trying to be the next Casey Neistat, Peter McKinnon or his sidekick Matti. They lost their uniqueness. 5 mistakes people are making by copying what they see and not using the editing techniques correctly.

Lmao. I often wonder how many youtubers get their cameras stolen when they try to replicate the walking away in public sort of shot
Micro Four Nerds omg same!
Happened to fstoppers
@@b3naqua F-Stoppers had a D500 stolen, they said they were doing a timelapse lol. I think they were getting "cinematic" B-roll and somebody took off with it.
Micro Four Nerds good to see you here! Who’s gonna talk first about the new Panasonic full frame camera
@@IjazMovies I think I need a small lottery win before march in order to get the new lumix cameras 😂 but I can't wait to see what they can do
Watched this nervously hoping I wouldn't be guilty of any transgressions. Glad I got off easy this time...
You can do no wrong :)
I remember watching your guy's version of this video back at your previous channel. You showed how to properly transition. Great video Jordan.
@@cameraconspiracies Or did he...? 0:07 ("Names and places have been changed to protect the innocent.")
oh Great and Hallowed Sandwich Maker... mercy has visited upon thee this video
Oh....you transgressed my friend , you transgressed....you gave the keys of your brilliantly devised drunk annual 'best of reviews' to your corporate masters....that was painful to watch
This was fkn hilarious 😂
Manny Ortiz manny!! You the man! And I agree 100 lol
You watch this channel too 😂😂 I love this guy
Manny, this is a family programme - you should be careful using words like...
"hilarious" - they could confuse our Canadian cousins ;)
It's cool seeing other tubers I follow picking up on conspiracy. Solid fun.
@@fellowcitizen 😂
I just wish youtubers would keep their audio levels constant. Nothing is more annoying than constantly adjusting levels because the background music during the b-roll shots makes your ears explode and the actual content is like a mouse whispering secrets to it's fleas.
"A mouse whispering secrets to its fleas."
😂😂😂😂😂😂 This made me laugh.
-12 db is best db
I agree 100% with that. If I have to constantly adjust the volume then I stop the video and move to another youtubers video. Also it's annoying when people put music over their own voice and the music is louder than what they are saying, seems kinda stupid to do that.
They should use compressors to duck the music (first of all) and also make it way less louder than the voice.
Ye :))
If your audio isn’t loudness normalized to -14 lufts youtube tried to mess with ur mix and it can duck up a lot of ppls audio. Totally agree tho mang
Best discovered channel in 2019
2018 for me!
@@theyasman I discovered it in the year "8", during his coverage of the invention of cameras by Larry Nikon, the caveman who first invented m4/3 rocks after an unfortunate pterodactyl incident.
I agree
Same here man☺
Definitely.
"I'll admit, it's a good technique to keep dumb people entertained for longer." Omg love this.
Hahahahahahaha i needed a laugh today. Thank you! I totally agree 😂
Hey man, you are masterful as seeming caring and supportive of the people overdoing all this stuff, while simultaneously putting them down at the same time. It's impressive. This was entertaining.
This man cleaning up TH-cam of all the mediocre trash one video at a time 😂😂😂😂😂
word man. really... and needed. This dude is nuts, he's awesome
What always bothers me is sequences where the person enters a hotel or house for the "first time". They of course entered before, setup camera inside to film themselves coming in, wen't out and did it all again.
If it is good enough for "Reality TV" then it is good enough for TH-cam! :-)
like the moon landing
I have to tell my wife this all the time when watching t.v., how the heck do you think they got on the other side of the wall?. She still thinks the people on Naked-and-Afraid are alone, until I remind her about the camera man that is actually filming the scene, his assistant , the producer, grip, and medical staff in the background fully dressed all in the background.
Same
It's the worst when they act surprised. Dude, you've already seen the fucking room!
I just discovered your channel recently and boy is it a gem. You have me literally laughing out loud, and I actually learn something in the process. You are proof that personality and camera presence are some of the most important aspects that people come back for.
I’m glad I was able to tell the video was finished because you covered the lens with your hand. I would’ve sat here for hours otherwise!
But it's not over! Now you have to downl0ad it, and watch it backwards. Then at 50% speed. Then at 200% speed. It's a Choose Your Own...Waste of Time.
Number one reason I watch your videos is how real you are! I laugh too of course but that real personality is so uncommon.
I watch him because despite some of his antics he has most common sense and lots of good points, while being very relatable and casual in photography. He's one of us, instead of some rich person with full frame cam or "gear doesn't matter" type of bullshitter. And well I love his comical weirdness.
Not an editing thing... but whats with everyone making coffee in slow motion?!? Ugh. Btw, hilariously awesome channel!
I always expect it to be satire, and then I'm like "oh, it's real; this person has no credibility, maybe I'll click over here..."
Yep. Hello TH-cam I'm having coffee for my intro. Lol
Mckinnonitis
Now I'm going to make some slow motion b-roll of me making a cup of coffee in my Keurig; opening the cabinet, selecting a mug, picking a K cup, dropping it in the slot, pressing the button. It will be so cinematically epic.
Shalaco that’s been the term of the times lately! Everyone’s copying Peter like the gospel
You're definitely a one-off, Kasey. The first time I saw one of your videos (as recommended by Peter Gregg) I thought, "what's this crap? " Strangely, I couldn't help continuing to watch though and then I got you and became addicted to your videos. You raise points noone else is talking about, but make it fun and hilarious. I hope your channel continues to grow and becomes massive. Thanks for the great entertainment.
Another trend that has to go away: LOUD INTRO MUSIC.. normal or quiet talking... LOUD INTERLUDE MUSIC.. normal or quiet talking.. LOUD OUTRO MUSIC
Make unboxing videos illegal !! Also, "Here is my unbiased review of a camera they sent me for free."
The "what's in my bag" videos bug me the most. I don't give a rat's ass!
Agreed! I don't care about the box, just tell me how the product works and experience!!
I disagree about unboxing videos, personally they're very useful info about what I want to buy.
And they're way more objective than reviews. It's really simple to just not click on a video that you don't want to watch.
I want to start doing reboxing videos of all the shitty equipment I return.
You have medium velocity blood spatter on your wall Sir.
He nutted out the infection he had and he's keeping it as a trophy
Call Kathleen zellner
That's the chipmunk that gave him the wrong sandwich :(
@@grat2010 hahaha
... and it has directionality, too.
The one that is bugging me the most of late is the squatting down to talk to the camera , please stop doing it. The hand over the lens is also up there, geebus, stop it!
Yeah, the squat down is annoying lol
I was waiting for that in this one!
That was a Casey Neistat technique originally, like most of these tricks.
The best thumbnail in all of the videography community.
The greater problem encompassing these trends is that the majority of people do not do things with intention. They see, they repeat. It's why all photography looks the same on IG (obviously not all for those whom overly parse words). Whether making a video for youtube or personal art there should be intention behind all of your decision making. I had a video scheduled on this topic; I might move it forward a bit. Well done video my dude!
None of these things ever bugged me....
....until now.
Thanks for that.
:-D Same here, only thing that irritates me are excessive jump cuts, but he did not complain about them.
Me Too!
12:03 Thank you for calling out that one, too. Vloggers used to just take their camera with them, but then professional videographers came on the scene and told everyone they need to make their vlogs more cinematic...like a movie.
I'm subscribed to around 150 channels and yours is the most original one, and everything's from your own room, that is impressive
you are just subbed to shitty channels.
Another thing not mentioned in this video but it drives me insane. Cutting clips so tightly that all natural pauses have been removed. It's just unwatchable to have 30 minutes of word barrage where obvious cuts are constant. I can really appreciate how you choose to rarely do it and when you do it's a natural breather or pausing moment. Not the middle of a sentence because they fucked up and couldn't be arsed to re-shoot it.
9:10 best part of the video
those moments make this channel better :)
Literally just came from watching that McKinnon and Haapoja hoopla. LOL.
The transition where you cover the lens with your hand is so cheesy and overdone, I want to end my life everytime I see it.
I have taken this "edgy" technique a step further and have started to shove my palm in the face of my friends to help indicate end of sentence.
I expect the yt fad of 2019 to be creators slap their lense hood so powerful that the entire tripod whirls around to help us understand that a cut is happening. Just so I can be equally edgy in my conversations with friends.
I am yet to skateboard on a handstand just to get a very unique perspective when I relocate from my house to the grocery store though. Just to make sure that shift of perspective does not confuse myself.
By the way, my entire life is a b-roll. And just a b-roll. A fiest of stabilized slowmo impressions of reality. With absolute zero content. Broken up by shoving my palm in the face of those I encounter.
Keep watching them.
You should collab with Kai Wong...
Agree.
The shade in this is hilarious lmao
Four years later and this is still one of my favorites! I keep coming back for more.
lol just finished a video with the lens cover haha, now I'm embarrassed lol
@@cameraconspiracies :-(
@@cameraconspiracies Hi, I'm your biggest fan, literally, like I'm too fat and I want to meet you. Make that happen or sony will never release a flip screen camera ever.
@@60p oops a6400
Okay, but does this include a swipe across, or is that different?
@Shalaco
Swipe across is the worst thing ever. Covering the lens just feels corny. Swipe feels like some college kid trying to be a TH-camr because he's too lazy to get a real job.
At 6:34 - Do you hang your toilet paper on your door handle? WTF? Do you never close the door when you use the bathroom? If you do close the door, how do you access the toilet paper? This deserves a video, dude.
Top 10 questions science can't answer
Its was filmed in Thailand. They normally don't use TP and therefore don't have dedicated hangers.
So how did the date go?
Yeah, did you get to first base?
Oh its Cherry Blossoms on the wall. From a distance it looks like blood splatters.
Oh! I also though it was a gore- thing decor! And then...cherry blossoms!
the 2015 version of myself is guilty of most of these, and I apologize for him
You nailed it😎
Bruh you here
Auto focus envy is a terrible thing 😁
the slow shutter speed camera sweep is annoying too as many people use it for transitions.
You realise that from now on if you do any of these I am going to have to point it out to you.
This video feels like it was made in 2009, but I want that to be taken as a compliment.
The scene changes suits well with your style of video making bro 👌
Now I can never try any of those without feeling like a jackass 😂
@@bradyballard130 Epic compliment , I appreciate it!
A santa loving jackass?
Just raise it to a new level. Show this Canuck he is just too shortsighted to see the possible glory by advancing the craft. Because he has become jaded he can't see these new guns honing their craft to overtake his white ass. Except that palm on the lens that is overdone.
Lmfao where peter McKinnon at #flythepirate
I tried some recently lol XD i though it was something refreshing XD especially lens cover thing
You forgot one, and it's the worst one for me. The side angle b-cam talking head cuts, especially when they're done frequently and on a regular timing. It's terrible and awkward and annoying.
It's super weird to watch sbd from the side like he's suddenly talking to sbd else :) The perspective shift kills the video. But the only way to fix it is to record a-roll in 4k, and edit it in fhd.
in black and white for no reason
Thank-you, Kasey. Totally agree with your lens palming hatred. That's gotta be the most annoying thing about a YT video except for maybe the overly long intros and outros. Who needs any of that? All the best.
Fun fact (at least as far as anyone truly knows), the 'palming' technique was not originally a transition. Skateboarders, filming themselves with camcorders would palm the lens after the take where they nailed the trick they were trying to get. That way, when they went home and edited their footage, they could quickly locate 'the take' on tape, by fast-forward/rewind until they saw the palm. Some TH-camr must have seen this left in, or remembered doing it, back in the day, and the rest is YT history.
There is an alternate reality where your channel is the most watched on youtube. I like that reality. I would like to live there.
„The same asshole in the same house, just a different scene” 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
So making coffee is okay ? What about the fake “wassup everyone “
Opa! Greek Taverna I’ve been snooping on him since when he was 2k in this channel and 50k in the other channel. He is one of the originals. But DONT take his advice in diet or cameras😂 just enjoy the show
@@IjazMovies damn that's some solid advice 😂 just here for the laughs
@@IjazMovies Yes, important advice. Technically, only the new Blackmagic is edible (carbon fibre) - you can chew on the others to tone your jaw, but be sure not to ingest them ;)
Opa! Greek Taverna meeee too man!! Every single one of these 😂😂😂
I am so tired of EVERYONE starting their video with some version of "what's up?" I don't hear people say that very often in real life.
Thanks for this video! You are so right about these effects. Another annoying thing about the youtubers who keep using all these effects, is that they are all about “the cinematic look”. They always talk about making cinematic videoes, but they keep using all these gimmick effects that you never see in the cinema.
This is the channel that's real..period..hilarious...
quick tilt transition is the new hand slap
I wish I had this video and Camera Conspiracies when I started making videoes a year ago.... I got way too overwhelmed with the more I learned and then more I watched. I gave up... It's not until a month ago since discovering CC and this guys charming awkwardness till I was like, he's right, you don't need all the fancy gear and cinematic B-Roll. Most don't have the money, skill and time for that! Focus on bringing the world your personality! Wouldn't you rather be known for that??
We need the entire toilet sequence, walking in, sitting, close ups, camera angle changes, auto focus etc. It should end with your unwashed hand touching the camera lens!
Sort of Coffee McCanon style.
There's a vid from a cop who was busy violating citizens' rights. Then forgot his bodycam was still running when he went into the police station to take a sheet.
To be fair I like the different angles of your un made bed -
Seriously mate, your delivery is too much. 🤣🤣🤣
Love the channel. Very informative.
I think I’ll be subscribing thank you very much. 😎
Why am I watching this again 3 days later?
Alright, dude. You got me. I've watched a few of your videos the last couple of weeks and haven't subscribed because I like to be subbed to less than 10 people - but you got my subscription.
Just to piss you off, I'm going to start using all five of these techniques in all my videos, and I might even end them by putting my elbow in front of my face and saying, "see you on the next one"!
Don't forget to say "We're done here"
inbefore you getting over a million subs :P
Brilliant near distance selective barrel distortion effects within this vid from the start until 5:30. I love the curvy frame on the banana-door and the way the bedside unit on the right and suitcase are pitched down a 40% slope and yet the bedside lamp is straight up. I even like that your head has the lemon-squeezer deperspectiveifier filter applied; but my absolute favourite is at 1:41 when you whip out your foot-long finger. Brilliant. Please reveal your secrets… is it straight off the camera, do you have a comedy lens? Are the weird distortions added in post processing or do you exist in some parallel universe where the laws of physic differ from planet earth?
😂😂I can't stop laughing! I saved this video to my watch later, and came back to it every week to couple of weeks so I can laugh my behind off...
I love the toilet paper on the doorknob.
Surprising that they use super-crop even though they despise the cropped 4K Canon gives us.
I will stop covering my lens with hand.
The crop and zoom literally makes me motion sick. Thank you for your service of pointing out this hack move, and lets hope people pay attention and start changing things.
you mentioning matti as peter's sidekick had me die laughing
I'm a creator myself and while I was laughing many times, there is some essential truth in what you're saying.
Especially when it comes to audience retention, I think I'm trying to keep people watching by inserting jump cuts and stuff. While it is not a bad thing it can be certainly overdone; I know I'm guilty..
You just reminded me, that the focus on quality content should be enough to keep people engaged.
That was the second time acutally. The first time was with the blurry background video that felt like you were speaking directly to myself. Thanks for sharing!
Remember, if you steal from one source it's called copying, but if you steal from everywhere its called research!
I stumbled upon your channel recently. Amazing stuff here man. Keep these things coming! You're hitting the nail on the head.
😂😂😂 you’re hilarious. The changing different scenery in the house is my fav cough cough Matti cough Hapooja 😂
Omg I end my videos with my hand, I need a stop 😭
Camera Conspiracies Rocks !! is a undestatement :)
I was literally grabbing the mouse to click something else, and you changed the camera angle and location. brilliant.
This channel is better than a film School!
I'll tell you who started the lens slap transition or whatever- TODDLERS everywhere. My 2 year old can't resist running up to the camera, grabbing the lens, and apparently trying to get me to insert some sort of lens smear transition on every clip I film of her. I won't do it. And I won't let her touch my Macbook to do it herself either. So lucky for you Mr. Consipracies I am fighting back against this nonsense.
This needs a part two. You barely scratched the surface. ;) My all time hated scene is the camera down low, and people roller skating towards it, or running to it and speaking down to it with bad AF and overblown sky. ;)
Domagoj Malovic not all cameras have image stabilization 😀 And they carry the bendy leg tripods instead of a normal one
Ijaz Movies I am talking about a stationary Camera and running into it...
The first 2 don’t bother me at all. I’d rather see shot changes than one long static shot. Things that have gotten old?
1. Coffee making
2. Pretending to be asleep and waking up in the morning.
3. Hand transitions.
4. POV of feet hanging over a ledge or cliff.
5. Standing on a cliff or rock looking to the distance.
6. Skateboarding vloggers
Number 6. 100%.
Haha hilarious dude! Agree especially on the last two. Another one that's driving me nuts now and been done to death is the "positioning the camera really low and then coming into frame to bend down to talk to it at the beginning of the video". I'm looking at you McKinnon and Matti! Oh, or the black bars coming in and out of the frame to transition into a "cinematic" sequence. Takes me out of it everytime. Just freaking cut to it, we can adjust to a new aspect ratio!!
Oh god, the bending over the camera bullshit has to stop. That, and the fact that every single one of them rides around on an electric skateboard of some kind. They must come as a package with the vlogging cameras.
The black bars are fine if the point of the moment is to illustrate a technique, so it helps see the sequence as a thing separated from the other content. But just to stick it in for no reason-yeah that is too much. (Do you have a good example of one where it’s meaninglessly stuck in just to show off?)
Hate when TH-camrs take us on a "ride" to their favorite coffee shop before starting the video :(
Hahahah ... Chipmunk gave you the wrong sandwich...
Damn it Dale!
F#$*ing chipmunks! Irresponsible and unreliable.
The non existence of hornet fondness is something many of us share in The Non Fondness of Hornets Association (wasps included) 😄
Please include you making coffee in slow-mo in all your videos from now on, that's my favourite thing in a video and I hate watching videos without that. Oh yeah and "PEACE".
You mentioned four of five things I was planning to do in my next video!
Not sure if I am more angry at you, or at myself...
awesome content btw
This explains why Nasa never went back to the moon.
Thanx for the copy write technique, Santa’s gonna get a bunch of letters from me this year
That was hilarious. You nailed it. You forget the closeup of the keys.
forgot*
Not sure why this was recommended but so glad it was. Laughed so hard until I realized I’m trying to do every single one you spoke about lmao! Including The autofocus one in my new video. Dammit :(
I can’t stand zoom transition, whip transition, it’s cool when some creators created, but it was copied like crazy on TH-cam. And drone footage for no reason
Wait a minute now. Drone footage exists because flying a drone is fun. Of course most of it is unnecessary, but getting it is fun.
honest to god, i love your channel. there are like a thousand same ass people, with the same lights set up in the back ground.. usually orange and teal or something, and its all the same hahahah. and youre just chillin and ranting in your apartment. i love this.
Lost it at "I broke my zoom h1"
Yo the toilet paper on the door handle. That is improvising right there! Better than leaving the roll empty. This was great man, got me laughing hard because this shit is so damn true. LOL
This is what makes Camera Conspiracies channel stand out from the crowd. Always enjoyable! :)
12:52 projectile coffee moment followed by choking.
BEST part was "placing the camera"!!! You really drew me in with your ridiculously slow talking and describing everything in full detail. Then you went and placed the camera outside the door and walked past it, then the elevator LOL That was great! Cracked me up! I also just recently recorded something similar to that very thing but that's because I want people to finally see how it is I do things even with a disability. So it's more of an awareness. But like you said, use everything in moderation. 👍🏻
Exactly. Honorable mention to all those guys who thin quality visuals always come with 2-3 RGB lamps projected behind them, as if we needed to believe life would be a constant after-party if we'd hang out with them, or the epidemic of over-exposure because god forbid we discover any tiny flaw on your face...
Today, it's not about retaining people's attention with substance, it's about jingling keys in front of toddlers. It's not about quality, substance, it's about content.
If I see one more car door opened, I’m writing a letter to someone so help me god.
Techmoan recommended you for you tuber of the year (it was a reply to a comment somebody made on his latest mini disk video) somebody said “I nominate Techmoan as you tuber of the year” then Techmoan himself said “I nominate camera conspiracies” so I went searching for your channel, and I’m fully entertained!! New Subscriber!
Problem with the location change thing is you gotta clean up your house. But you have a one room apartment and a girlfriend so maybe that's easier.
That walking got me screaming laughing lol 😂
You just can't stand Peter McKinnon don't you? 😂😂😂
He's alright.
The problem is the Matti Happoojas of this world.
It's the way each of them circle jerks then TH-cam force them on ya.......
Peter McBroll .... He doesn't have any good content, literally all his videos are lifeless Broll
matti is cancer . He told the gh5 was trash because it could not fix his ugly face.
I can't either
Did you film this is some kids room? I mean, I like the pink flowers on the tree, but damn son. I love that you essentially roast everyone, and everything,
One has to question how a toilet paper roll works on a door. It looks like if you shut the door, the TP is on the outside of the bathroom. Is that a trick of some kind?
Lol this is so funny and entertaining bro. Just found you today and really pleased we have your videos are awesome bro. Fantastic editing skills and great footage. So cool lol. Yep we suck hehe. Huge thumbs up and love sent bro. Thanks so much for sharing this. Good to steal lol. Stay safe and catch up again real soon bro.
