Nice and informative video dude! I often want to do you tube videos I just didn’t know where to start! This video might be the push I need to start thanks Chris 👊🏽
All handy tips. I think I have the same anvil/vice your leaning on at the 8:00 mark mine is missing the screw I'd love some dimentions of the handle if it isn't too much trouble
Wrote that before watching whole video. At least while recording in front of camera dialog. Like, this is okay with ear phones(still pretty quite), and playing on TV I had to turn volume up more than usual.
Cool. Now do a series on video production workflow for projects! I haven't done video work in 20 years, and I always end up doing a project without recording because it adds so much time to the project. Teach me how to do it faster so I can actually publish my projects! Please? Thank you!
You’re the man Chris! This is so awesome! I’m grateful for the help and encouragement you’ve given me along the way and it’s so great that you’re sharing this with others! This community is so incredible and it’s so cool to inspire one another.. keep up the awesome work brother!!
Chris, This is great, you answered all the Beginner question with sincerity and you came across as caring. Which you are! Great work and as always Stay Well
A great camera that goes on sale regularly is the Sony a7ii. Justbwise channel talks about budget filming and highly recommends it. Just for if someone is ready to move on from a phone to a camera.
Is there a segment where Chris gets into how he lights the shop? It looks like he has direct lighting on him. I'll probably do something like that so I can dim the background. I don't like all the distraction of stuff all over the place in the shops I end up shooting.
Why not use an AC adapter that just plugs in to power your camera without batteries? Do you not want to have one more thing plugged in your shop and have another cord to deal with which I know can be a hassle or is it something else? Just curious why buy so many batteries because I always felt the same as you and that they were a headache to have to constantly swap and for me personally, I would just rather deal with a cord than to be switching and charging batteries constantly. Is there a reason you didn't go that route?
I've gone that route with my camera. I have to take the camera off the tripod, then unbolt the quick release plate to get the battery door open and reverse all of that to resume shooting. It really kills the workflow. An aftermarket AC to camera "false battery" adapter that fits in the battery well cost me Cdn$35. That's the same money I spent prior on 2 aftermarket batteries and 1 charger and of course they are handy on field trips, but if I'm indoors for a complicated session, the AC DC adapter is something I give myself a thumbs up for getting, every time I hook it up. It's always in my bag.
Why not a camcorder that plugs into an outlet? Would a multi camera video surveillance system work and with cameras mounted at each or a couple work stations? Maybe even narrate the video later?
Awesome suggestions, I always seem to get bogged down in the amount of video I take. I'm by no means trying to make a professional channel, or really even a very good channel, but I do like to document the projects I'm working on and share that documentation. The amount of time and effort I have to put into editing has slowed my videos down to an almost complete stop although I have a few in the works. What are some of the thought processes you put into planning for shoots when working on a project?
Cool informative video now get back to work lol Just kidding. I liked this video learned a few things I didn't know... Though I like to make things I am not sure if I want a youtube channel lol
I have that same manfrotto Tripod. I’ve been trying to use it to film with my iPhone X. But my footage always tends to be shaky when I’m using my power tools. Other then moving the tripod far away I haven’t found a good fix for it. Any ideas?
Hunter that’s interesting, I’ve noticed sometimes the auto stabilization on the iPhone can make footage look shaky on a tripod.... you can get hanging sandbags for tripods that help isolate them and keep them stable. Hope that helps!
@@hunter3771 Is your tripod up on a bench where you're using the tools or do you leave it freestanding on the ground and its still vibrating or shaking? just curious how you have things set up before you start recording.
Pete's Shop Makes I usually have it set up on the ground. The biggest contender is when I’m filming the table saw which is obviously putting vibrations out. I think I just need to give the tripod some weight and make a stand for it that it’s not taking the vibrations from the floor.
@@hunter3771 are you on some type of subfloor or something that carries the reverberations? I'm not thinking your shop is on a concrete slab or anything right? If it were and your saw was still shaking the tripod then Id start with checking the saw more than the tripod if thats the case. lol
I'm not ready for video making yet, but if that bug bites me I'll know where to start! And Luke is killing it!
Dude that’s great info. Shop shooting is a challenge in its self. Ohh and I’m soo getting the tripod. Looks soo easy
Good advice on how to keep it simple. Thanks Chris!
Great stuff. A good tripod is key. I started with a $15 tripod and the difference is huge.

Lav mics are a must. Wink wink.

Thank you for sharing this!!
Thanks for the information. I appreciate hearing about your setup and getting some advice on how to get started.
Great tips! Thanks
Great tips! You've definitely inspired people like me to get out and make something. Or make everything. I'll see myself out now...
Good Tips. .. Peace
Great video! Thanks for sharing. Getting started is very overwhelming.

Any recommendations on video editing software

Do you have any tips on mounting a camera for better shots in a severely limited workspace (small garage) where using a tripod is impractical?
Cool informative video now get back to work lol Just kidding. I liked this video learned a few things I didn't know... Though I like to make things I am not sure if I want a youtube channel lol
Hi,
Wondering about the video editing software you use to make your final video to upload when you are done?
Thanks
Jonathan
Great tips BTW.
Tip #1 get a good mic so people can hear you.
I have that same manfrotto Tripod. I’ve been trying to use it to film with my iPhone X. But my footage always tends to be shaky when I’m using my power tools. Other then moving the tripod far away I haven’t found a good fix for it. Any ideas?
Hunter that’s interesting, I’ve noticed sometimes the auto stabilization on the iPhone can make footage look shaky on a tripod.... you can get hanging sandbags for tripods that help isolate them and keep them stable. Hope that helps!
Make Everything thanks for the tip! I’ll check into it more.

you do need to get a microphone closer to your mouth when filming. Most resort to using a lav mic with a wireless transmitter to do this.
This is tips to get started, it's not Tips to save time.
