I've always loved making short simple tutorials, as most of the guides on youtube are unnecessarily long and in my opinion not very helpful. So I made a new channel called LifeProTips based off the popular subreddit. My first video is simply how to remove wrinkles without an iron. I'll be...

I've been running a youtube channel for a pretty long time, and I've made it into about 5 different things over the years. However, what youtube seems to thrive on is short and sweet and interesting. So I've began making videos that focus on specific ideas. Let me know what you think of this...

I recently started experimenting trying to add a trigger to the usual pen guns you see on youtube. I was finally able to achieve it, so I made a tutorial showing you how too. If you enjoyed the video, please subscribe as I'll be releasing lots more. Any constructive criticism is greatly...

Hey everyone, I recently finished filming and editing a short commercial for an RV company my buddy works at. I figured I would post it here to see what you all think about it and get some feedback. Since I made this video, I've purchased some actual lighting equipment so you may notice that the...

My buddy works at an RV company and knew I had some experience in filmmaking so he hired me to do some short videos for him. This is the first one. He did the commentary and I recorded the footage myself. I edited the video with premiere and some after effects. Some things I already know I...

These are actually videos I use to make a lot. Ones where you kind of just shoot everything you would do in making something simple like a sandwich. While it is a good exercise, I think the best time to learn is looking back at it. A huge element in film making that beginners often overlook is...

The green screen is done pretty well. I think a change in camera angle and some lighting adjustments would help, but those are only minor. If you're planning on making a music video with this technique, try to use colors that contrast well with the drums and what you're wearing. The animation...

In my opinion, the video was pretty well made. The pacing could use some work, but that just takes practice. However, the story and dialogue were a bit stale and drawn out. I say next time, cut out all that unnecessary dialogue and fill the rest of the time with action that keeps the viewer...

I agree with jmoschner. The lighting was pretty good. You seem to have that figured out pretty well, but the actual material was kind of boring. My advice would be to think of some more jokes and funny segments to add in between every chunk of dialogue. And as jmoschner mentioned, more angles...

Thanks a ton, that's exactly the advice I was looking for. I do need to work on the lighting. I tend to get lazy and just ditch that part of production but now I'm realizing how important it is. And I did realize that too at the end. I was thinking about adding a short scene of an old lady...

I've just uploaded the second video of a series that I made about a mischievous toy dinosaur. I'm posting it here to ask for some constructive criticism on the finished video. I would very much appreciate it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gv0N1YsLyB4 Some things I already know I have to work...

So I posted the first two tutorials I made on here and I was really satisfied with all of the comments telling me what I could improve on and such. I've taken many of them into account and created another tutorial. I really think I advanced quite a bit on this one...

Thanks to you both! I was hoping it would turn out better at the end but the poster didn't look that good, I agree. What I was mainly focusing on was the actual production as I mostly just wanted practice so thanks for your comments!

I recently cleared my youtube of all videos and started making a series of tutorials called "Simple". This is the second video. I would greatly appreciate any constructive criticism on any kind of element you can think of. I'm still trying to get the hang of color correction, so you may notice...

Well I'm attaching all of these items to a shoulder rig. It hasn't shipped yet, but I'm pretty sure I'm going to need extra counterweight on the back of it. I can add the SMPS to the back for that. It'll provide tons of more battery time, and I won't have to use Alkalines for the microphone. I...

Thanks. However, I was kind of seeking how I would run both of those off of the SMPS-1X. I'd rather have the batteries of the microphone and the batteries in the recorder as backup.

So I recently purchased myself a whole audio recording setup for my camera. These are the things I bought. Tascam DR100 MKII (Audio Mixer) Rode NTG-2 (Shotgun Microphone) Nady SMPS-1X (Phantom Power) 2 XLR Cables Some 3.5mm cables I thought I planned everything out before I made the purchase...

You should check out this rig called the XF1. (http://xfactor1.com/xf1.html) It's manufactured in America, has a great price, and looks pretty nice. I recently ordered one, about 5 days ago. It hasn't shipped yet, but the manager custom cut one of the pieces for me with no extra charge (Audio...

I'm using a Canon T3i and for a while I've just been using pieces of white filler paper for my white balance. However, I want to invest in an actual white balance card with a correct neutral color. I'm trying to decide between these two...

Thanks! I only recently started to learn how to truly color correct, so I'm a bit sloppy at it but I'll take what you said into consideration :)
