As you said, “variety is the spice of life”. The techie stuff is great, but mixing it up with the psychology behind the projects adds a most valuable layer to your channel. Thanks for all you do for us.
Congratulations to Mark on an amazing doc (natch) and a fantastic & engaging Q&A. I appreciate his kind words about the sound work (sincerely - thank you!) but a couple of things need to be stated: The vision for the sound design starts with the overall vision of the director of the piece. My conversations with Mark about creating a track for any of his films always start with me asking him what he's hearing in his head. In Mark's case *he always has a clear answer from which I can start my work*. That was definitely the case here and the foundation was even stronger given the preliminary work done by Mark and his editing team. IMHO, this is the sign of a strong director...one who is thinking about sound from day one, not as simply something that will be "dealt with in post". As so many people have said here, Mark: Great work! Looking forward to enjoying the next one!
I LOVE the breakdowns and the Q/A style of these videos! I would LOVE to see more of these in the future. I thoroughly enjoy seeing the finished documentary, but it's also super cool to hear you discuss the film after the fact in this way!
this was freaking amazing and REALLY REALLY HELPFUL!!
PLEASE keep making these type of videos!!
You are inspiring more people than you think man, with documentary programs in colleges being so limited and niche, this is definitely a great way to learn!
Thanks for that
Thank you for this Mark. This video answered every question I had about your film, which was excellent, BTW. I appreciate what you and your team do for us filmmakers out here. 🙏🏽🙏🏽
Great insight and Q&A! Love how you put importance on story over imagery. While important, having "cool" b-roll is nothing if it doesn't complement or add tension to the story. Love it!
This documentary was one of my best experience of watching documentaries
I super appreciate how informative you always are. One of the few people/channels I can rely on to always teach me an outrageously huge amount in a short period of time.
Love this Q&A man. Keep up the amazing docs and teachings. You rock dude!
Great video Mark, the mix of info and storytelling is great, don’t change a thing. I’m a motorcycle coach so I enjoyed this one a little more 🚀
Love the insight into how you did this! Thanks for showing us how you did this Mark!!!
Loved this breakdown style of video Mark. Super insightful into your thought process. Appreciate it mate
Thanks for sharing a brilliant Q&A. Been away from my fav YT'ers for months (needed a break from inputs over Christmas), it is always refreshing to watch your videos.
Thanks Camilla 🙏🏻❤️
Dude, I love both. Hearing where you are at in your career gives a really good perspective on how to move forward and what to look for. Gear is cool, but only when it comes with context.
This was incredible useful - please do more Mark! Thanks
Great video, Mark! Definitely do more of these in the future.
So rad, thank you for sharing your talent with us 🤙🏽
Thanks!
My advice: give your whole gift which includes the technical but also includes the filmmaker’s perspective. There are plenty of technical videos out there. Filmmaking insight is more rare.
This was amazing! Thank you so much!
Missed you! Nice to see
Great Q and A Mark, and beautiful work as usual
Another great vid, Mark! I really like the combination of tech and storytelling, your choices on a film and why. Big thumbs up!
🙏🏻 thanks Kevin
Thanks Mark, i really liked the documentary and this Q&A was really an appreciated extra! more technical stuff would be welcome from my side✌
Great work Mark! Really appreciate the breakdown!
I thought of Mark yesterday, i got a video today. Amazing! As an inspiring documentary cinematographer, I've been learning a lot from you. Thanks Mark❣️
Missed you too Mark. Amazing video.
❤️
love this. Always great insight
Thanks Skinny ❤️
Great video mark, really loved the documentary as well! Your channel is super inspiring as someone who is wanting to move into the world of documentary. I've been creating videos for 4/5 years now but making stuff like this is the next step!
Keep crushing it Scott! The next 5 years will be huge for you brother .
I genuinely laughed out loud at “shart off” 🤣
Love to see you mark.
Very good Q&A.
Amassing to see your respond to the questions.
Will love to see more of your work... Crazy is wild
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Thank you for such wonderful content.. man, I'm working on a doc and your channel is my school.
Keep it up mark!!
I miss your awesome video Mark Bone
Mark love this! thanks a lot for sharing all you're knowledge 🤓👍🏻
Amazing tips Mark.
I really loved both the doc and the breakdown! As a director/cinematographer that's still pretty new and mostly teaching myself, I really appreciate seeing more of how different people approach their creative process. Plus, I really like that though it would have been possible of more gear, you clearly conveyed the possibility of achieving a similar result with more limited resources. I look forward to seeing more stuff like this!

I really appreciate the transparency into your process. To answer your question for 2022, I think this video breakdown is a perfect template. Maybe 40% tech/gear, 60% process. They’re both important but YT is flooded with gear content and lacking depth when it comes to film making. The Q&A is also great because I’m sure so much of this is second nature for you. The community can guide your content. You’ve built an engaged audience. Kudos to you for that alone. This is a shining example of what is possible on this platform. Keep it up brother! 🙌🏼🙏🏼
Great input Ryan! I’ll certainly do more of thisb
Yeah man! Just another thought…it would be really instructive if you took some frame grabs for a few scenes from different films you’ve made and did a lighting breakdown. Maybe explaining what was there before you started setting up lights and then what lights you used, where you put them (maybe draw on the frame to show where and direction) and why. Kind of like the Doc version of the WanderingDP. I love learning about how things are lit but it’s one thing when you have grips/gaffers and a whole truck full of gear vs a light and fast doc shoot where you may have just a couple lights and are flying solo. Muchas gracias! 🙏🏼👊🏼
I will love to know more about how you do to finance the projects.
Love your videos!
Another great video, Mark. I'd really love to hear you talk more about the interview and your process behind that. Being an introvert with severe anxiety, I lack a lot of confidence during interviews but I really hope to work through it and try to be better at it.
We talk so much about interviewing in theartofdocumentary.com but happy to include some more
You are awesome! Thank you for creating amazing content and upload it here on TH-cam ❤️
♥️♥️♥️
Mark, I have to say that I love the personal, professional and technical. I think the blend is what makes your channel unique. Mostly, the emphasis on storytelling - particularly how you employ the technology to tell stories is what excites me. I also like your tone - confidence with a dash of humility. It’s refreshing.
Thanks Linda! So appreciate you taking the time to write this! 🙏🏻
Really great work Mark, I learned a lot from your videos over the last few months. There's quite a lot in documentary that I'd love to do but I just don't have the money. My first thing is youtube though so I guess I can learn along the way.
Thanks for providing a lot of inspo and info :)
Thank you soo much for doing this!! Helps big time!!
I am so glad I stumbled upon your channel… I have learned so much…. THANK-YOU
Glad you found it also brother!!
Thanks for answering the questions 👍🏻
🙏🏻 thanks for asking it!!
You are by far my favorite cinematographer in the game currently. Thank you for the motivation with my newfound love and I hope to produce documentaries that come close to your pedigree...
Großartiges Video. Super erklärt. Es ist sehr spannend zu sehen, wie du eine Dokumentation aufbaust. Wie du es schaffst, dass die Geschichte lebendig wird. Dieses Gespür dafür zu entwickeln ist mein persönliches Ziel. Weiter so! 😀
🙏🏻
Another great video - thanks for the education 😁
Really awesome and super helpful! I ride motocross and do filmmaking myself, so this film is a perfect combo!
Nice set up with the coffee cup..... Nice colour.
These are so helpful, Mark, thank you! I might only be in the process of deciding whether to buy a 24-70 or a 35, but I'm learning a ton lol
So dope you answered my question! Didn't realize you went to Sheridan as well, currently in the film program there!
Small world!
Thanks for the response Mark! I'm definitely up for more career and growth focused videos too :)
Haven't seen the documentary yet, but certainly enjoyed the Q&A.
I will said that is perfect way to share us what is in your head, that if you do technical way! Thank you M.
My men👍🏽
My soul feeds on these insights. Thanks a lot for inspiring us!
Thanks Mike!!
Great content! I love the Q&A style breakdown. Do you have any videos where you breakdown how to safely use news clips in a documentary so that there is no copyright claim issues?
I believe everybody has a story. Love the channel good content.
Freaking love you Mark Bone!
I have strong feelings for you also Jesse
epic video 🔥🔥🔥
🏍 💯
Great job...
Thank you
My no coffee goal was laughable as well 😂😂
Love all of your content, Mark! Specifically how you break stuff down to teach. Well crafted and easy to learn from. How often do you know how long the final film needs to be prior to shooting? Are you usually starting out getting coverage with an intended TRT in mind? Or do you determine the length once you get in the edit? Curious how your approach changes based on the intended TRT of the final piece.
Great question. Maybe it’s something I can cover in a new video
Only in Rural Canada can you say he lives only 45 minutes down the road from me... great stuff. Love the look and style. There are plenty of channels that talk about technical and product. I appreciate the art aspect of your channel. Gear is gear. Specs are specs. Art is subjective.
When most of my doc subjects are in another country, 45min is a breeze!
Great video! 🔥 Was the helios lens the "cine moded" version?
Thanks for the great vid! More like this please. I have a subject I would love for you to cover.
Okay, so I found my (potential) story….what’s next. From A-Z
Thanks man! Staying in the 10% 🙌🏻
Inspiring to hear your process. Cheers!
Thanks mate
Where did you get that T-Shirt Mark?! Love it.
And this breakdown is top notch!!
latreartandstyle.com
Nice!
Great video breakdown / Q&A - I approach docu very similar & almost always shoot DCI 4K on my FX9. Something I don't hear many people talk about, but you get more width from the sensor shooting this way on this camera. FullFrame 16:9 crops in a slight amount actually.. Keep up the good work, sir.
I’ll take all the extra pixels that I can get
yes, I would like to see the "what's going on it my head" content!
Love to!!
I love your videos bro!, where did you get this nice shirt man
Here before it goes viral
Stephen Barden taught ME in college too! Sheridan days, not sure if that's where you went Mark?
Media Arts 2007-10
@@markbone Oh man, media arts 1999-2002 - MAFIA! lol. That's dope dude, Was RIchard Lighterman your cinematography prof at the time as well? I know he passed, but I can't remember if that was before or after 2007.
Anyway stoked to see your work and you destroying it on this platform mate. Great video, your content is solid!
Mark as always great video and Q&A one gear question… Blue and Gold morphic filters on the BaseCamp’s Matt Box (Circular or rectangular) version? Thank you ahead of time and God bless you brother!
‘Definitely don’t shart off’ 😂
Noted 💩
Dig the t-shirt man
I always enjoy watching your videos. One thing that’s never mentioned is making a living from filming docos. I have a family and shoot mostly commercial projects but want to explore filing more doco style projects. I’m trying to find the balance of making money to support the family while also exploring doco films. It’s a fine balance and would be great to hear how you do it.
Thanks for watching! Appreciate it. We go into a deep dive about this in theartofdocumentary.com myself and Michael Del Monte talk about it for hours in the course. There’s lots of ways to go about it, ultimately its a variety of a few income streams
@@markbone thanks Mark, I was thinking the same. It’s always a fun juggle,
Great documentary and very enlightening insights, but the real question is... where can get the dope shirt that you're wearing?
Polic👍👍👍💯❤
Too late to ask but I’ll try: you approach a subject you think might have a good story, you meet and realize it’s not going to work. How do you explain the person without offending them? And thanks for this beautiful content!! You are Peter McKinnon minus the trendy fireworks and you actually do shoot stuff! :-)
Yeah I think that’s always a risk. And you need to be upfront with your character that there is a possibility it couldn’t work. It’s good to only commit to the project once you’re confident in it. Everything else is exploratory. I never tell them it’s guaranteed until I feel confident
@@markbone makes sense. Thanks Mark!

This is a weird question but I can’t be the only one who is curious.. how do you get paid for short documentaries like this? Do you sell to a platform for streaming? This is a wonderful piece of work that hits all the pieces … I love this!
thank u
What program do you use to create the storyboard?
I would love to learn more about your thought process and editing process; maybe even examples of some of your favorite sequences in your editing software that you're proud of?
I saw that one transition of the VHS film rider going left screen transition to Lawrence riding left screen- that was cool. Stuff like that?
Great idea!!
Thanks for the video! I am impressed how the content you pass by, most kennels only play technical rules and indications and equipment (not bad) but Ecé Canal is making me grow like Fillmmaker, making me think more and tell better stories.
Thanks
Obrigado pelo vídeo! Fico impressionado como o conteúdo que você passando, a maioria dos canis só jogam regras técnicas e indicações e equipamentos (não que seja ruim) mas esté canal está me fazendo crescer como fillmmaker, me fazendo pensar mais e contar historias melhores.
Obrigado!
Great Q&A, but I wonder for someone new, how you get financial your documental proyects?
👍🏾🙏🏾
Hey Mark, quick question - when you were filming from the back of the truck, it looked pretty bumpy. Did you have to use warp stabilizer in PP to clean it up in post? Thx!
All in camera stabilization (the canon lens has IS)
I've asked this before, but I really want to know what that planning software you use is. Thanks in advance.
th-cam.com/video/FwqeVdBxVF4/w-d-xo.html everything you need to know here!
There are too many “how to” videos out here! I would like to know more about how you develop instinct and your philosophy around film making.
Things like how do you determine what is a “good” or “bad” fear going into a project?
Answering questions along the lines of how the Greeks believed you weren’t a genius, but rather you had a damon or a genius. You are not a genius.
How do you think about inspiration? Do you believe it’s something you own or is intrinsically something one has?
How do you stay hungry these days now that it seems like you have some stability in your career? If stability is even a thing, lol.
Do you cross train your creative brain? Like an basketball player who will work with sprinters or do some form of martial arts in the off season.
What conflicts happen within your production teams? What are some ways you resolve conflicts? What is the art of living with conflict like for you?
Sorry if these are too many questions! I’m a 2 on Enneagram. So I love to get closer and ask lots of questions.
Great questions. These are pro! Maybe stuff for module 2 & 3
I hope it’s not too late but I’ve got a question!!
When it comes to working with a subject for a short doc, do you have anything contractual between you and the client or is it just a verbal agreement? Anything such as liability insurance as well?
The reason I ask is because I’m about to start filming a my own short documentary.
Thanks!
I always get talent releases that say I can film them. And my company has production insurance to help cover liabilities
Ok Mark, conflicts, challenges, bad moments are what make a documentary interesting, but I have some questions, if you are making the story as it happens, your hero may not be available to show his weaknesses and defeats, maybe in the future, with things resolved, but you have to recreate the tension and it's not the same as living it in the moment, how do you manage a dog that wants to bite you?
We have a ton of videos about recreating tension and retelling stories over in theartofdocumentary.com. They would serve you best over what I could write in one comment :)
I would love to learn more about the business side of documentary filmmaking. How do you make money off documentaries? You mentioned this one isn’t going to a broadcaster, does that mean it was just a passion project and doesn’t bring in income?
unrelated to the content, but you can totally quit coffee! My gf was had such a gnarly caffeine addiction since a kid & she’s been off it for about a year now. She feels so much better without it!
I joke. I only drink 1 cup a day
How do you find your films?
Where and how can I watch the film?
I LOVE techie.. I need help lol.
