This is what happens when Peter is gone from the office for too long 😂
at least you didn't decorated "his" side of the share space ... lol
Can tell by your face, like a kid without a playing friend. Just bored. Great video. Greetings from Mexico 🇲🇽
Matti Haapoja You are amazing and a mind reader 🍾 Thank you for making this! I was on Skillshare looking for this exact video topic the other day! 🤩
serously it's so funny, i just saw pete with someone else. LOL
Matti Haapoja 😂😂😂
Hey Matti, I’ve been subbed to you for a few weeks now along with Peter and I just want you guys to know the impact you have on people. You two really break things down to the basics, making it easy for all of us especially beginners.
Thanks dude! Love the support 😊 sometimes I think the videos I make are too simple. But a lot of the times that’s the best way to learn.
Glad to hear that you are learning, have a lovely day!
Brandon Parris I’m with you
I'm all aboard the "simple train." Love your content, Matti. I always appreciate videos like this, where something is broken down to the bare bones, I guess. Sometimes it can feel like creators - from varying topics - forget to share the beginning steps of things when they're teaching something, and jumping to step 5, if that makes sense.
Not to say you can't teach intermediate level or advanced things. Create what makes you happy, always. Reiterating, but I think I'm among many who like and appreciate "the simple" things as well. =)
I think of a video like a 5 paragraph essay. Thesis is my intro (what i'm going to do in the video) and my 3 paragraphs are my arguments and proof of arguments and my 5th is conclusion.
New music per paragraph to keep the flow moving and ya, bob's your uncle. 15 years working as an editor for long/short documentary film/scripted tv has allowed me to break it down.
Of course this isn't the rule as it is a guideline. For me the final re-write is in the edit and no amount of planning can prepare me for every scenario...but that's how ideas evolve and often that spontaneous epiphany is all you need to really elevate your video but ultimately what am I trying to say and how will my audience find value. Period. Story is the hardest part of any video, you can be technically perfect but narratively imperfect and it won't track.
I will also speak to doing some long and short form documentaries that the original "plan" is often blown apart when you get in the field and realize something isn't working as you thought. Or be agile enough during the editing to realize your thesis is weak and need to revise it. It's an evolutionary process that time in the edit will reveal. I speak to this from personal experience.
It's one of the biggest things doc directors discover early on is how everything they had planned will be blown apart, the magic comes from picking up the pieces.
Depends on the format though. I agree planning is necessary absolutely but you can't plan all of it and need to leave room for a possible revelation that elevates the narrative.
Yep the process is different for everyone but one thing is true is that it’s a lot of hard work and just dealing with what happens 🙌🏻
Absolutely. Video making isn't easy.
Mark Holtze this is incredibly insightful! Thanks for sharing your fresh perspective.
Thanks Oscar, happy to help mate. I wouldn't call it fresh though, seeing as I've been doing it for at least 15 years. But thanks for making me feel young mate. :)
Agree with you so much. My first independent shoot did not turn out how I planned it at all. I wrote such a detailed plan, from angles to storyline. When I was shooting I knew my idea of this video was far fetched. Once I started to edit, I obviously realized how hard it is to get the result I had in my head. I ended up getting a video that I liked much more than my initial plan, but I still wished I could been more 'prepared'.
I still have very little experience and I want to grow so much more. But I feel like I can learn more with people surrounding me on a shoot. Just out of interest, do you shoot solo or in a small/big crew?
If anyone reading this is from Cape Town (Or anywhere in SA), let's team up and learn from eachother!
Ok enough with the rant :)
this is a fantastic, basically a guaranteed, low risk, approach to making watchable content. The idea of sharing valuable information (filmmaking tips) regardless of what you are actually doing (drone wars 🤣) is perfect. And then if you are sharing something that highly relates to what you end up doing then even better! thanks for sharing!
Exactly!
Have a lovely day!
DRONE WARZ!
This was really helpful. I’ve been struggling with making my vlogs feel like a cohesive story. Going to try again. ❤️💯👍🏽
Keep Learning and growing, Have a lovely day!
I can feel your struggle, I am having the same issue as well. Feeling like my vlogs are everywhere >_
KristynAlexis yes same!
Thanks for the tips Matti.
We’ve just been on a trip to Paris & Rome and I had grand plans for my shots and what to capture but with the chaos of traveling to a new city and also unpredictable weather it makes you realize that you have to just make it work with the circumstances you find yourself in!
I was feeling quite lost because I didn't know where to start. Thank you for this!
This is the best intro I have seen on TH-cam in a long time. So much so that I paused the video and showed my wife. She liked it too! Choice of music is perfect. Keep it up Matti!
This is super informative and helpful! I feel like there was a sudden increase in quality in my videos after discovering your channel (now there is a gradual improvement). Still a ways to go, but thanks for the information and inspiration!!
So good!
These are amazing tips Matti! Great to learn about your process!
Thanks guys! 😊
Always great to learn! Have a lovely day
So grateful for this one Matti! Thank you so much for sharing your process. It's often one of the biggest hurdles for me.
Fantastic tips. You are absolutely right for each and every point.
Planning is so dang important.
And that is what we so often miss out on! 🤔🤔
🙄🙄🙄🙄
It's an important thing to keep learning and progressing, Have a lovely day!
Thanks for your fantastic thoughts and ideas. Totally helped me to get my seminar into the right direction!
Always great to get some insight and "different ways of thinking", to get the bits together. Eventhough my seminar is about the process to be a creator, this was great help! :)
One problem I found with planning you never get the good impromptu stuff in your Vlog by planning ahead and its also hard when for example the video is not the main reason you traveled somewhere for example, but just a side thing you do. In cases like these I try to tape as much as I can and then try to get the story out of that.
you guys make mondays better! thanks for your teachings!
Yay!
Wooow I am proud of you Matti. The sub's are @377K let's continue. You inspire me.
🙌🏻 thanks dudeeee
Loving your new style Matti, keep up your good work 😊
Me too
Thanks always trying to improve things 😊
Such GREAT CONTENT! Thank you!! Inspiration ✔️
About to travel to Colorado, so excited to use some of the concepts I've learned since I started watching your channel to capture the adventure. Glad to have a lesson on planning before-hand! Cheers :)
Yay! Exactly what I was looking for and by who I was looking for it from! 😁✌
Its wild that you and peter were at Nelsons. I go there all the time, cliff jumping just down the road from where you were at
All great advice - cheers Matti. Some good thinking points there
Making a three-act video about using three acts in your video... now that's meta
😂 glad you caught that
Absolutely! Have a lovely day
Great tip and it honestly makes the editing so much faster
Great timing with this video! I improved by cinematic shots but i need to work on story telling now. Thanks for this video !
Thanks Matti! Really cool to hear your process for creating your videos. One of the things that I try to do to keep myself organized is to create a detailed shot list. I don’t always follow the shot list perfectly but having a shot list that I create in Google Keep that I have on my phone to look at during the shoot is extremely beneficial for me. Thanks again for all the help and keep it up!
hey matti, thanks for sharing your planning method! I find myself lacking a plan for my videos to often so I shall try your method for the next one :)
Also some videos you just can’t plan. You just have to have the skill to obtain the shot when that cool moment does happen!
Hahaha the face when the drone hits the camera!
Thank you for this video and ideas!
Underrated video Matti, watching it for the second time after a year. Love from India
Thank you for the tips.
Thank You Matti..
🙌🏻
Matti can you please make a video on how to make music videos and tips and tricks for it, because I'm a musician and I want to improve my quality a lot.
Matti you should check out Zack Kravits’ channel on youtube. Hes done some work for G-eazy and Lewis Howes and a bunch of other guys. Maybe yall can collab and help him grow bc I think he puts out super high quality stuff
That's awesome, have a lovely day
Spot on Matti 💯💯
This is so good. I’ve done some vlogs where I just film the day and then figure out the story after it’s happened and it is sooooo time consuming. Not efficient at all lol
As always Matti, you're the best!!! Thinking about coming to LA at all??
I am the only one that would like to see a screenshot of his plan? Just to give an idea how much Matti plans it out? I recognize the level of detail will vary depending on the person, but I think it would be helpful :)
Super informative, thanks and really enjoyed the video. This is something I need to practice more, it does result in better vids overall! Keep on uploading man! Loving the content!
Great video Matti!
I'm still a new vlogger and had been struggling with creating videos. Your advice was really
helpful! Thank you!😊
You should make a video on your video editing process! 👌🏻
Hahaha every time you say "PROCESS" I literally lol
HA! So funny. Really love the way you guys are doing videos these days. You have always been very creative, but feel like you're taking it to the next level now. Office space looks good on you! :D
amazing vid as usual dude!!!
🙏🏻
keep at it :) cant wait for ur next vids!!! with love all the way from the Philippines!!! still cant believe u noticed me!!!
Thanks for inspire!
Could you do a video on time allocation. Like how long you plan to video at a site for. Then some stuff on video length, if you want a 5sec slow no clip do you film for 30 then cut down etc? Cheers
It is all about stories!
For sureeee
very useful advice
Thanks for this Matti, I appreciate it, although I still have a question. So would this process change if you were doing a travel vlog? I tend to think what happens during the day/trip IS the story. Would you still recommend I overlay a different story on top of the travel stuff?
Great video Matti!
Thanks!
This video really spoke to me today because I felt so entitled and that my work was flawless. I felt like it deserved way more attention but I guess it really had no visual point and story. Can someone convince me otherwise from the latest video on my channel?
Matti your desktop went into sleeping mode, like your background a little more😝
Great advice man 😁🙏🏻
I've been planning my submission video for a week. And the video is now up on my channel. My fingers are now broken from keeping them crossed since your #hiremematti video.
🙌🏻
Matti Haapoja is there a specific deadline? You said two weeks from a Thursday. So I'm assuming it'll be Wednesday or Thursday this week.
Modern Slice yea I'm almost done editing it and I hope it impresses. If not, then it is an interesting challenge. Reason it's taking so long is I'm working on 3 separate videos. Fingers crossed.
Modern Slice Thanks! If all goes well, should be up in 8 hours maybe.
Hope you get it! Have a good day
New videos on Monday, make Monday’s better!
Yess 🙏🏻
Tolles Video und ein sehr interessanter Einblick in deinen Workflow. Bei meinen Videos auf meinem Kanal habe ich früher keinerlei Vorbereitung betrieben. Als ich angefangen hatte besser Video produzieren zu wollen habe ich eine Zeit lang richtig Skripte ausgearbeitet. Mittlerweile nehme ich nur Stichpunkte damit ich nichts vergesse.
Great stuff Matti! I really need to work on my story and planning of videos. The haphazard stuff doesn't really make sense to me and I'm the one doing it! (= Cheers!
Ooohhh COME ON, YOU ARE FIN! RAIN CAN’T SCARED FINNISH PERSON. :)
Doesn’t scare me just isn’t as fun hah
Matti Haapoja sure, sure, I didn’t meant to being rude. Just wanted to bring fact, that you are Finn! :)
Matti.. I have a serious question about intro/outro... These are usually done by aiming the camera at yourself and talking.
I do not have a good (radio announcer) speaking voice... I have listened to my recorded voice and it sounds like a weird, slowed down version of MickyMouse. It is really off putting to listen to, it even annoys me. How do we do Intro/Outro's without speaking..? Putting in 5 pages of text is very boring.
I'm afraid to put a video on youtube while i speak. As a child i was teased/bullied because of how i spoke. I don't want to set myself up for being a target as an adult.
Nice intro. Great topic Matti. I am learning. I love your movement transitions,what are they called by the way?? The way after talking you move from one camera to the next shot. Just asking
Continuity??? 😊
Oooh thank you so much
This came at just the right time! I’m specifically taking a week off to spend more time planning videos.
Great insight and information. Maintaining a legitimate storyline definitely seems to be a rather difficult task... without a plan. Thanks for the tips ✌️
Yea wayyy harder without a plan!
Amazing advice. I learned a lot, thanks 🙏🏾
I love this video. I’ve watched it over and over and have to admit, out of all of your videos, this may be my favorite. I struggle with planning, over-planning, not having a plan and talking to the camera too much (which leads to never ending edits), and simply planning paralysis.
I burned out and stopped making videos because I never planned, I was consumed by thinking my gear sucked, and I just have not put in the work to do it better. It’s not my gear, it’s me, it’s lack of a plan, and thinking sub counts matter when I know story is best.
This video is a breath of fresh air and is helping me rethink my channel.
Thanks, Matti.
I know you watched my editor submission and I appreciate that! Shoot for the stars!
Hey man, I am really a fan of your work. You make such a good tutorials with great tips. :D
Ha Ha thats because he trusts you Matti ! PS would you recommend a Canon 16 - 35mm or Sigma 18 - 35 mm Lens
PS thanks for another great top tip film planning is key as proper preparation prevents particularly poor performance I now need to get better and colors and exposure when filming !
Sigma is only for crop sensor but it is the better lens in my opinion
Thanks Matti - as I only own a 80D, 760D and just pre ordered my M50 I tak it this is what you mean by crop sensor I believe all 3 of my cameras are crop sensor until my better half lets me buy a 1DX ;-)
Great beginning )
😊
This is just the video I needed today. I struggle with the planning, I spent time, just this weekend, creating a storyboard template that I think will work for me. This video helps to refine as I learn to tell a better story. Thanks Matti
Mattie killing the game again! Only 200 subs till I reach 3k!!!! 🤙🤙
THAT echo. You guys need to fix that. Nice video, man!
Fabricio Baroni Is the crackle and popping in the audio coming from the microphone?
Thanks so much for doing this! This is amazing! Like exactly what I needed!! 😊🙌🏾
HOW TO BE GOOD AT MAKING VIDEOS-
1:- HAVE A GOOD LIFE
2:-HAVE A DECENT CAMERA
3:-HAVE SOME IDEA OF PRESENTING THE FOOTAGE
I disagree on point two. The best camera you have is the one in your hand.
Hahaha while I am watching I just checked out how many views
Views:52
Likes:63
GLITCHES OF TH-cam
Haha seems suspicious 😂
I want to send you guys some sound absorption panels. Where can I send them?
HAVE A NICE DAY BUDDY
Thanks man you too!
Great tips! Love videos like this! Only the best from the best! 📸❤️
Keep learning and growing Ginny! Have a lovely day!
hey matti....have to put this out there ...you have inspired me to creat content...thank you soo much
Thanks so much man 🙏🏻
Anyone else here at 4 AM because they can't sleep? Btw, hi Matti!
Your coolest intro so far!!! That music makes a huge impact on (feeling) telling the story. Great video! Thanks Matti
I cant stop laughing at that intro!
I love these video makers making videos about how to make videos for video makers: That are in themselves great videos. 🤯
😂
Hey Matti! Could you make a tutorial on rendering settings, codecs and such in Premiere Pro?
Notification Squad :D
Matti Question: How would you story tell with clips you have from your phone like: Winter 2018 for example, mixing memories along with music keeping what length to clips and or scenes so that it doesnt become boring? Like you said editing Broll trying to find that clip can be exhausting. What programs besides Adobe which I use is helpful?
Again planning would have helped but if there’s no actual storyline you can tie it in with text or voiceover or just make it a quick feel good edit showing what happened
Thanks Matti. Good reminders for every video...I'm still working on building my stories so appreciate the reminders.
Storyboarding is the biggest part of video making, Have a lovely day!
I really enjoyed this video. I think that if you had shot your talent shots on a green screen you could have produced a video with multiple locations. Great food for thought...and action!
What was that little flying thing ??
Miniature drone/quad-copter.
Wow! This topic would really help me as creator to plan my videos well, thanks matti.
Heck yea 🙌🏻
Would love to see a video with best tips for shooting video outdoors. (When it’s not raining of course ☔️) Thanks.
YEESS! Matti, this was great, man! Planning has always been my weakness. Ive been doing better lately, but I really believe its stunted my channel growth because there were times in the past i think my videos have come off half cocked!
Good job Matti!
Amazing! thanks for that Skillshare Promo! :D Excited about that!
BTW this video reminded me of another one of the reasons to #HireMEMatti that didn't make it into my video... WORKFLOW. Every time I see a video of yours about different aspects of your workflow they are always very very similar to how I work.... Just wanted to throw that out there ;)
Hey Matti! Have you ever shot a music video? If so, I'd love to see a video with any tips you have about that!
Not Peter McKinnon haha but yeah it works better if you plan, for most of the people
He plans in a different kind of way 😊
Thanks for the tips Matti, great video
Planning helps a lot, Have a lovely day!
Matti, this is probably one of the most basic videos you've released to date, yet it's exactly what I needed. I've been trying to get into TH-cam and have been starting to plan out some ideas. Your method is so straightforward but it's been a huge help in structuring my thoughts. Thanks for the tips!
FORTNITE 🙌🏽
Sir what is T stops in cine lens
And also plz tell more b roll ideas other than slomotion
