    Mark, I’m an ICU nurse who also has a love for documentaries. I’ve been in discussions with my hospital about filming a documentary inside the COVID unit I work on. The information in this video was so incredibly pertinent to me! I’m an absolute novice, and this project is bigger than me, but with the help of people like you, I feel like I can succeed!

  • @MarioSoMedia
    @MarioSoMedia 3 ปีที่แล้ว +17

    Great tips Mark! Completely agree with all of these tips especially the "compact soundbites"! As someone who produces 1 min stories out of 20-30 minutes interviews with 2-3 people, this is key!

  • @Glen.Danielsen
    @Glen.Danielsen 2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    P.S., Mark: the thumbnail image for this video is exquisite! The night nuances that decorate the female just demand appreciation from a visiting eye. And you yourself with the decked-out camera is perfect complement to her. In a thumbnail! 💛🤗

  • @Berserkeroffroad
    @Berserkeroffroad 3 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Thank you, Mark. A lot of excellent points in here. My favorite is "simplify your gear". That's huge- remembering that we're there to capture a story and not to play with our toys.

    Really Mark, I can not think of another youtube channel with more densely presented thought nuggets than yours...and that you can present it all so naturally and even throw a charitable cause in there is...yeah. Your work is inspiring.

    • @CallMeRabbitzUSVI
      @CallMeRabbitzUSVI 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I think it's because Mark is a filmmaker first and runs a TH-cam channel second. Lots of TH-camrs drone on because they need that retention time and they have to fit in their own self promotion and such

    Great tips. This brought me back to my own one man band shooting a documentary about the street kids in Kenya. It was a battle, and all the stuff you mentioned here was amongst the lessons I learnt the hard way. Compact sound bites would be a gold for me to fully understand before I was shooting. It saves so much time in post. Also reviewing footage can be film saving - especialy if shooting in remote places where you cannot reshoot. Thanks for sharing.
