    I'm pretty much binge watching your whole channel right now and want to thank you for being as real as you are - not as over the top as most people think you'd need to be on RUclips. I really appreciate your minimalism, and the way you tell your stories.
    Effecient, simple, true.
    Also I'd enjoy to see more stuff about filmmaking, although I find the whole topic around minimalism interesting.

You also exhibited how to do a great outro ie. Be hilarious 😅

I really like the music you've settled on for these videos! Solid tips!

    • @TimHief
      @TimHief 4 года назад +1

      Setup your video camera with the background you want and film some B role. Next, sit in front of a green screen and film your spot. Finally, edit the B role to be blurry, chromakey your A role and you have a great, real-world background and you in the shot. Probably more nuance to all this than I am describing but you get the point. Of course, FilMic pro can get a very tight focus on you while leaving the background blurry too. So, there is that.

    Thanks for the inspiration - my podcast has been going on for so long but now I want to take it to the next level alongside my RUclips channel and begin with an Episode 0 that resets my podcast (not deleting the old stuff) but starting with a fresh new look. I'll make it both audio and video in a sense - primarily it will be audio, but some of my fans like to listen to it on RUclips, so I might film myself with a webcam recording the podcast for those who want a visual aid - that would give me a solid reason to film a cool intro - like the stuff on tight shots as well, I just upgraded my camera with a Sigma 18-35mm lens with bokeh - i could do some great board game shots and get some B-roll footage...........
