I LOVE BEING ALIVE WHEN CAMERAS ARE SO ACCESSIBLE! WE ALL GET TO BE STORY TELLERS! Imagine being alive 300 years ago? No cameras?! Just Gutenberg and his press... there's lots to hate about our obsession with media/social media but lots to be grateful for also!
Great tips! Love the airpod hack. Such a great way to keep communication between the director and DP without ruining the authenticity of a scene.
I truly appreciate your definition of B Roll and why it is important to enrich the perspective of the characters in your documentary. Thank you! Thank you!
A real filmmaker talking about gears and experience. That’s what I like! Not bunch of fake filmmakers regurgitate all the tech numbers to please sponsors. Subbed.
Thanks mate 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
this is great. I value these nuanced filmmaking tips over the gear reviews hands down.
YEASSS SKILL OVER GEAR, ANY DAY
This couldn't have come at a better time with work wanting me to create a mini-doc about our CEO! Excellent work 🔥
Yes!! So glad this helps mate!
Would love to see a video of how you script/storyboard out a documentary
We don't deserve you Mark. This was so perfect. Thank you so much for sharing your invaluable insights.
Thank you FCP BRO!!
As someone who's starting out in documentary filmmaking, but isn't going to any sort of school, your content has been really helpful. I've felt like there's a lot of mystery around how to establish a relationship with your subject, how to navigate the moving parts of your film, etc... Your videos are answering a lot of questions for me & have honestly been a great substitute for film school. Looking forward to hearing more about this project you're working on.
I'm here to help! I never found there's been a good road map for documentary filmmaking out there. So glad the channel is helping!
You are one of the gems I found in 2020. So precious! 💜
😭😭😭
In my short "creator" experience to date (2 years) I often doubt whether Ive deluded myself into thinking I can make documentaries, which really sucks and demotivates me.
After using a canon 80D for years I've invested in a new C200, some lenses, some lighting, sound and some other non essential but useful gear.
Whenever I watch one of your videos I feel motivated and I get back to being in the moment, simply enjoying what photography gives me, and the joy of making and editing a short video.
Im now filming a short documentary on a migrant worker in Africa - a great success story with a lot of difficulties on this journey.
Thanks for the inspiration, its exactly what a 55 year old guy needs who took a risk to invest in a sideline job!
Many great filmmakers only put their first films out in their later years. I think you're in a great position having more life experience and perspective than younger filmmakers who were raised on Tik Tok and pizza pockets
@@markbone Thanks for the alternative perspective and encouragement Mark. I’ll take your message to my fellow South African creators.
Thanks for this video and the awesome advice! To exist in the present while filming really does wonders for your story.
So much valuable advice. Really like the advice about using textures. Thanks for making these videos 🙌🏾
Who in their right minds would thumbs down this gold!!!? Thanks for these tips man 🙏🏿
Wow brother! Thank you! God has really blessed you with this calling! You have really inspired me to get started in this field. I recently started making videos and eventually I hope to get into documentary filmmaking:)
This was so helpful. Thanks Mark!
Mark, every time I watch one of your uploads, I think it can't get any better or more appropriate for what I'm looking for right now. But then it does!! Ok, I only discovered you about 10 days ago, but wow, this was an incredible find for me, and what perfect timing in my life with the direction I'd love to go. Telling stories of others through film making. But yea, I'm 100% nervous about putting my all into my first big personal project. (but you're getting me to that point! So thanks!)
Documentaries are a step ahead.. Its all about connecting more with real people. Loved every bit of the video. :)
Mark please never change this attitude! Your channel is growing and the amount of content you are putting out is just amazing. But I catch this vibe with you that no other filmmaker on this platform called RUclips has and that is sincere passion for film and helping others make a better world through film. One of the reasons I got into your AoD course is because of this!
😭 thank you for noticing! I want my channel to count! Help out others not just my bank account :)
love the ipod in one ear and the audio feed in the other. multi-tasking at its finest. Cheers, good stuff dude.
You spoke about establishing shots, textures and the moments you wanna capture of the character. A great part 2 of this video would be about a compact list or “to go” lenses you use to capture this. Instead of carrying 6 or more lenses with you. What would be a good set of lenses you can use for multiple use. To be able to get the shots you need without constantly having to switch and miss those actual moments you’re trying to capture. Great video by the way.
As someone that’s just getting into videography, this helps soooo much!
🙏🏻🙏🏻
Great tips, thanks soo much Mark!
R love how u teach bro
This is one channel I can't do away with
Keep on the good work
Much love from Sierra Leone
Totally agree. The more you understand the project you're shooting, the story you're trying to portray and the people involved the easier it will be. Unfortunately in the past, I've seen sent a brief, got my head around what's to be done and then an AP rocks up on the day with something totally different and I'm working to the back foot. Getting into a flow for me anyway is so important as I've found that most shoots have a rhythm to them...
Thank you so much for sharing all your knowledge and experience. Every time I watch one of your videos I always get something new. Stay safe and warm.
🙏🏻
Great tips Mark. Would love a colour grading tutorial of your process! Big fan of your work! Thanks
Love this hard bro! 🤘🏽💀🤘🏽
I love what you've been making, Mark. This is really valuable and insightful stuff.
Excited that you're planning on reopening your documentary course!
Your channel such a great finding, Mark! Thank you for sharing this valuable experience! Love it!
Welcome aboard!!
Well explained Mark ! 😉 Thanks ! 🎥
Mark bone, my new favorite 2021 RUclipsr. 🔥🔥🔥📽🎬
Bam! Yes!!!! lets get to 100k :)
Very useful and enlightening video.
See why I like you, man!!!!
I bet it's something you understand after feeling something is missing from your footage. Thanks for sharing your experience 🙌
This was a great video Mark. Thinking of shooting a short doc within Q1 of this year. your tips have really been helping
Go crush it man!! You totally should
@@markbone Thanks man!
thanks for the effort and the sharing. your vids are always helpful, informative and inspiring. now, i can understand how you being in toronto might think that 2021 feels like more of the same ole same ole. but for us south of you in the usa, yesterday was the start of a WHOLE NEW DAY! i am an appreciative subscriber. stay well. thumbs up.
USA has been a rollercoaster in 2020 and 2021 for that matter!!
The equipment featured prior to 5:33 is far beyond my budget. So it is of little value to me.
However, the insight shared in your "tips" is priceless. I will be applying these suggestions on the project that I am currently working on with the equipment that I already own.
I am a subscriber and am grateful for your channel.
i just received my first wireless video transmitter and its from hollyland, just grabbed the 300 to transmit to phones and tablets but works awesome and gives pro features
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Can’t wait til the course reopens!!
That was some great film making tips. I appreciate them a lot. What is also cool... is you show us your footage. It is inspiring for sure. Keep up the great job!
Always so helpful... Love your videos man, can’t wait for the next one!
Loved how you broke this down Mark. Cant wait for the next run of the documentary school. 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
I went for broke... to break this down... bad joke. I'll see myself out
This is very helpful. This year I'll make my first documentary and your videos are keeping me on quality-track. Could you do a video on documentary funds, where, how and the possibility for small documentary makers? (sorry if I missed this in a previous video)
This is SOOOOO Helpful
You're a wizard! This is well out of my ballpark.
Thanks for the insights
Amazing tips. I am shooting a Documentary and I haven't thought about texture to add more value to the films. I just got some ideas and shoots I can add to my documentary. Thanks a lot for sharing those tips Mark 😎💃
Imma guess it's Netflix. Either way, I look forward to seeing the film
Who knows?!
"Global broadcaster" is not a term I hear used to describe Netflix. I'm going to guess BBC World
@@AntonWongVideo we'll soon find out I guess but what your saying does make sense yeah
Awesome tutorial! Thank you!
Great advice, man!
Thank you! It's been years since my last non-commercial/client doc. I plan on using these tips this year
Go crush it Anton!!
This was so great! Thanks for the help. I am about to start a new documentary in about a week, so this will make a big difference. My last documentary suffered because I didn't immerse myself enough in the scene. The focus was just on getting the interview done.
Great suggestions. I'm saving this video for reference.
Great fundamentals / refresher.. 👏
Super useful! Thanks a lot man
Thanks for the tips man!
Great tips, as always Mark. Thank you very much indeed!
Glad you enjoyed it, thanks mate :)
Film Texture this has disturbed me alot to understand in the past but now I know how it should be done thanks Mark B #Ugandan
Great video, as per usual. Very informative and grounded to real life work. Thank you, Mark !
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 thank you!!
Great tips yet again man, thanks for sharing. Definitely will pay more attention to world building and textures! Got a mini doc shoot coming up in Switzerland in a couple days, wish me luck! :D
Go crush it bro!!
Hearing about the relationship between director & DP was super insightful
It's also good to be friends :)
bro, you're awesome! you helped me a lot. greetings from Philippines :)
Great tips, man, love your channel!
Thank you 🙏🏻
Another great video. Thanks Mark! Keep it up and stay safe in 2021!
Very nice man. Thanks a lot! ✌
Solid stuff
Love your video and your work. I’m a wedding filmmaker and I still get a ton of ideas from your commercial work. I would love to see something about weddings If you’ve ever filmed weddings? If not it’s all good 👍
lol, watch my video about transformers! it's all about my wedding career, it's my 3rd last video
Great tips as always Mark 🙌🏻
Appreciate it! Thanks Sebastian
Great stuff, as always, Mark. One of the topics that almost no one talks about that I would like to hear more about is how to cut footage. Do you have an overall philosophy about how to cut footage? Such as relying on the rhythm of music to make your cuts, or the dialog beats of characters to make cuts. How do you do it, and can you offer tips on this topic?
Love collaborating with you mark!
You get a great look from SONY...looks most like Panasonic than anyone, I think. Great stuff Mark!
Welcome back 👋...
Hey Mark, just hearing you talk about back pain, you might try an EasyRig. Definitely helps with long scenes like that interview! Anyway, love your work!
I use them on my commercial work but it might be time to get one for my Documentary stuff
Right on! Always learn something from you :)
Awesome, thank you!
Great tips, thank you!
oh shit, I worked with Demar in 2019. Super cool guy.
cool stuff Mark loved it
Thanks mate
Liked, so I can find it later and watch it again. You know it makes sense!!!
so true about 2021!
Legend legend legend 👏👏
Those little pavotubes are super useful.
The intro music is dope !
Epidemic sound!!
@@markbone thanks I have already an account there ! Continue the great work !
@2:25 1) Immerse Yourself In The Scene
@5:58 2) Prep Your Character
@8:23 3) Film textures
Hey Mark. Great stuff as always and appreciate your efforts to help others. I noticed you film with the Sony FX9 I think and I also think you sometimes film with the FX6. A lot of your footage looks beautiful but the stabilization on some scenes looks borderline. Like when the director was walking into the kitchen nook shot and the talent was very still at the table. These are hard shots to get even with a wide-angle lens on a camera without IBIS. As someone who is very close to pulling the trigger on the FX6, I am wondering if you would agree that for documentary style, yes run and gun filming, if using a stabilized Sony lens is the way to go to increase the usefulness of handheld scenes with the Sony cameras.
Mark I can listen to you for hours. And not be bored.
Your videos are interesting and full of good knowledge.
Thank you for sharing.
The beginning of the video is a bit awkward 🤭🤣🥰
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 you’re in luck because I can talk for hours!!
@@markbone looking forward for that
Thank you
You're welcome
i feel it is way easier to emerge myself into the scene when i am using a easyrig, no strain on back
Eirik Skarstein It seems like he was really trying to keep the feel intimate by having the director in the other room and using only essential equipment in room. I bet he would have used an easy rig had he known how long it would be 😂
Very great tips . Keep up, I love all your contents on your channel
Thanks so much!
Yes 🙌
These " tips for documentaries " are addicting man would never get bored of themm we highlyyy appreciate ur tips they are life saving!!! Though it would much appreciated if u spare some time to make another video by the end of this month
Exactly! I've watched a bunch of them and I always keep coming back for more. So addictive!
Work is flat out right now! I wish I could keep up with youtube
It is not depressing, but reality. And, we have to deal with it. Love the shows!
It's true, it's where we are, can't ignore it but we don't have to let it suffocate our joy!
Mark! get an EasyRig MiniMax I've been using it with a fully kitted Fx9. Its going to save your back and energy on set.
I know! I need one!! I use them all the time on my commercial work
do a video on the best lenses for documentaries
I really like your background light next video talk about your background light
very interesting going to sit & watch !
Great video Mark! Loved your thoughts, and congrats on the big job land, the Lord's providing!
Thanks so much! IT'S HUGE. For me at least. I hope to be able to talk about it sometime!!
Hi Mike, thank you for sharing this video. I just wonder how do you go about the sound on this family conversation scene without adding extra sound person? Did you lav the main character as well? Thank you.
Hey Mark, love the content. I'm wondering how you go about finding topics for your documentaries? Do directors come to you? Or do you have ideas and seek out a director?
Hey Mark, where can i see your documentaries?
your intro music I actually know the artist and producer personally
Get me his email!! Info@markbone.com
So good
