      ​@@andrewhurstcars 30 fps. He primary shoots on an iphone which defaults to 30fps. There's not a huge difference between 24 and 30. It's usually a personal choice. 24 is generally seen as more "cinematic" and 30 simulates real life a little more which most vlogs are shot in.

    What a legend, doug doesn't do too many of these so i've watched all of them probably, and even though there is some overlap there are some new bits. I really like his way of giving context, and writing both literally and as a component of youtube videos are some things i've been thinking about lately and they're really so important and shape the way you communicate in huge ways. I always appreciate when doug tells his story with caution and acknowledges the parts that were work, the parts that felt like play, the parts that were smart, and the parts that were luck.

    22:00 It's pretty amazing how C&S can dissect what makes Doug DeMuro great. Sure, he doesn't have the production value and magical editing; sure, he was "early" to the scene; but his consistent content (thanks to his good writing skills) is unmatched. I don't care about pretty shots if it's not showing stuff I want to see. It's funny how some defunct car creators didn't get that.

    @JustQzen Год назад +7

    Just some feedback to you guys. I don't know if its the sound bouncing causing it or if the microphones are out of sync but when you guys speak louder it sounds like there is a second stream slightly delayed. If you are recording the sound separately all you have to do is a clap once all mics are on and recording and then sync that up in post. But as I speculated at first I am guessing this is due to sound bouncing on the walls and I honestly don't know how to counter that in a efficient way.

      I think that in a couple spots, Doug is so excited and loud that the other mics pick up his voice :D

    This is the the least practical way to practice my English and at the same time the best RUclips tutorial I've ever seen. Thanks Doug for introducing me to these guys. From Colombia with love.

    you guys are great interviewers, you are prepared and the questions are insightful, you can notice that when the guest goes "Huh, I have never thought about that, that way"

    When they asked Doug if he puts the driving portion at the end of the video as a payoff I thought to myself "I don't really care about that part, I like the quirks and features" and then Doug immediately identified that people don't care about that as much. Shows how much he "gets" what works about his video and kind of proves that success on youtube has a lot of skill involved (alongside luck, which he also talks about)
