*_If you don't cringe on your week old work... then you are not Improving._*
Depressingly true :O
true lol , but I'm trying
Love this comment!
I already cringe on my one minute old work 😂
@@Trina18 Then u can't execute idea in your head into reality properly...
Honoured to help and be part of this topic.
Thank you sir and big thanks to Simon
Love the fact you look for criticism to grow and improve. I think we all need to do this. Thank you.
A little off topic But I wanted to say thank you really quick. The more successful Ive become in My filmmaking career the less time I have to spend on my on content which is super important to me.
But last week I made myself a promise.
I will create for my RUclips until I can quit every other film jobs.
No excuses.
Thank you for your motivation. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻seeing you keep doing your thing gives me lots of inspiration!
Just checked out your channel.
Your dragon ball short Is insane!!!
May I ask. How long and how many people were working on it!?
@@funforeveryone3422 it was just me and the actor 🙈
A little over a week
I’m a small person with not a lot of connections. But I find myself doing small videos for fun. Me being very passionate about this I’m letting anyone know that if your also passionate about anything, follow it and don’t let anyone tell you what you can or cannot do.
As a filmmaker and graphic designer for a company, graphic design is CRUCIAL to professional video work. But what I learned as someone who has to make lots of timely content, is that it's less about the "visuals" and more on basic typography. You can make Arial look great with proper spacing, as long as you have proper hierarchy of information. Of course there's better fonts to work with but it just goes to show that it's less about that but more on having good minimal images.
I see this too often from other videographers and its really what sets the "pros" and "amateurs" apart. Doesn't matter how stunning your shot is if it's got ugly text on top. Most of the time text is displayed in the first few seconds of your video (logo, title, etc) and it already affects how someone sees your whole video. They'll "feel" it right away and may judge the rest of your video harshly - and they won't even know why.
Omagaaa I have just been watching his videos from 2016 and now I see him as an older, more experienced filmmaker😭😭😭
It was something obvious that I always over looked, watching my classmates film and the reach they get through the good posters they made and everything it does attract people to watch your film
It all just depends on what your goals are. I think as a filmmaker such as yourself it makes total sense to learn more about graphic design and to post on social media to attract clients and nice projects. For others that are maybe part of an agency or sorts or any company as a videographer, they might not be looking for freelance gigs etc.
For me personally, I need to keep posting as well and will definitely look into graphic design more since I would categorise myself more in the same range of filmmakers as yourself, albeit at an earlier stage. Interesting video! 🙏🏻
thank you mr cade, you've helped me a lot throughout the years. keep up the great work!
Thank you so much for sharing your shortcomings with us. It means so much to those looking to become a professional filmmaker❤️
Simon, I have been following you for over 5 years now and seeing the old banners was nostalgic! Great video, it has me go and look at my treatments.
Go ahead Simon. Another great video. Design is everything you can see or imagine. How you frame your picture has a lot to do with proportions, in the end with visibilty and this is Design. I think we all in the Media industry often isolate photography, filmmaking an classic art. But they all follow the same artistic rules to be understood by an audience. Very cool that you looking constantly to improve your work. It makes a lot of sense to change the perspective and look from another professional angle on your own work. Like it very much, and your thoughts on this topic make it more obvious. Great!
So glad I started as a graphic designer. I never regret learning that skill honestly 👏🏽👏🏽
Hey DSLRguide! I've been watching you for years, considering I go to "RUclips University" when it comes to filmmaking. Loved this video and everything you do! Keep up the inspiring work!
Simon! You stud! Excited to see this 😌
It's funny, I discovered you in 2016 while at my graphic designer job while daydreaming about filmmaking, and can definitely say that since then I've used so many design principles and adobe programs all to enhance my filming/framing/color/lighting etc. It's pretty much what I already do except now the images move on me. So yes it definitely helps to beef up your design! You kind of can't avoid it as many of the principles and programs are the same!
Great video, Simon. I couldn't agree more about the importance of graphic design. I am a filmmaker and photographer first and a graphic designer second. Though it wasn't until I really started caring about and learning graphic design that I realized how important it is for every aspect of any visual art. At first I started making designs for newsletters, signs, and things like that, but then I thought, "What if I could make that design move?" And so now I am learning about motion graphics. One thing leads to another and as long as we keep learning and getting better, we cant go wrong.
Thanks for the video's man,keep them coming
I love your videos...I saw ur LC 500 R review on godox channel and searched ur channel...So informative and your voice is so calm and soothing... Absolutely love your lighting tutorials.
really helpful. I've really struggled with graphic design, but trying harder lately
Consistency and quality!
Thank you so much for this. Please can you do a video on how you do your treatments?
It would really be helpful.
Once again, thank you so much. Your channel has been really helpful.
Nice informative and guiding video. Im starting work on my website and this has help with knowing what not to do especially with the fonts.
Hey Simon thanks again for another great video. As your channel moves less into the technical aspect of film making I'd love to see your new insights on lighting? Maybe making a video on how your approach to lighting has changed would be of immense help.
Very nice video as always☺️
Thanks for sharing this topic. I am an aspiring filmmaker and I really hope to become capable so that one day I'll be able to get an opportunity to work with you.
~ the future is in design ~
Good on you for seeking out feedback. All of us fellow filmmakers can certainly keep this up no matter how far along out collective cinematic journeys we are. Cheers!
The truth can be brutal but it’s also freedom.
Have you seen the social dilemma. It's a film that's just come out as a Netflix original about the creators of social media and how it has negatively impacted the world. Highly recommended.
Still, rocking with your rebel t3i?
lol what a coincidence. just today i signed up for graphic design lessons and illustration swear to god. perfect timing.
Awesome 👍
Aye
The situation with me is slightly different. For ages I've been working as a graphic designer, web designer and creative person in general. That has created some sort of inner standard I always try to stick to. Transitioning to film and video making has been a tough candy for me, because achieving the same look and feel i got used to throughout the last two decades was not easy for me, especially due to learning new tools (PP, AE). Anyway, visual consistency and the way my videos look is super important to me. BUT - the more I focus on this, I sometimes get drifted away from the initial intention - to tell the story. So to sum things up - yeah, visual presentation is important and can attract the attention, but don't let it become the ultimate goal.
Very nice
Hey man what do you think about the C70?
Hi Simon, what happend to your Blog? Did you remove it on purpose? If so why? was this not bringing traffic to your website? cheers Daniel
As his skills grow, so does his chest hair...
Are you still using the t3i?!
How is ASUS ZenBook Pro Duo working out for you?
I never think about design until I have to do it.
I’m in the same boat I’m struggling and wondering about my website. I need to call my friend who is a graphic designer and have him take a look at it the same.
I think we should choose the platforms that we enjoy using. and limit it to 2... maybe 3. I for instance, hate facebook... So I don't use it, that's a HUGE weight off my shoulders! Even just uploading and adding a description was frustrating me too much. I hate it!! But Instagram is ok, and TikTok is fun, so I upload there, and it feels like I'm enjoying the Tao principle of Wu Wei, it's flow, the water is running that way and I can effortlessly slipstream along. Rather than swimming upstream and struggling with FB! I follow and feel my path, and in doing that I'm more creative and excited to use certain platforms.
People like BTS, doesn't matter how bad the quality is, they're just nosy people and want to see how stuff is done. They want to envy you being productive and hope that it inspires them to pick up a camera, or a pencil.
In terms of Graphic Design, knowing the basics is enough. Keep it simple, remove distractions like you would in your frame. 1 or 2 fonts and no more. Create a style guide, and stick to it. Keep it consistent. Like that fashion saying, "before I go out, I remove one thing" - When the design is done, remove one thing!
You look like Edward Norton in fight club
Nice video
Imo, it depends on what kind of person you want to be seen as. If you have a large fanbase and what to be seen as a "normal person" posting messy, quick snippets can help connect you to your viewers. But if you want to treat social media as a way to market yourself, then maybe more planning and preparation needs to be involved. Though, I cant really speak too much about it.
And I'm a designer trying to get into the film industry!
I thought you stopped uploading a while ago because RUclips hasn't suggested any of your videos in almost a year! :'(
If you have been watching simon since 2012
Lets gather here❤
If the type of videos you want to make require you to submit a document for clients or producers, I agree, you should learn about the standards they have for presentation and work towards meeting them and optimizing that presentation to be the best it can be. Same goes for social media, if you want your income to be from social media like youtube then you should probably do casual, approachable content on other platforms to drive that engagement.
However I hate both of those ideas and I refuse to do either. I refuse to conform my work to meet the needs of corporate culture or to satisfy algorithmic weighting. I create things I enjoy and because I enjoyed the process of creating them. I don't view my work as being an end to a marketing means.
Nice
Bery good
never been this early before!
He’s no longer using the old canon! That’s what seemed off.
I feel like social media content doesn’t have to be professionally produced. It might even be more expected to seem a bit rugged and imperfect. It makes you seem more human that way too. But the content should at least try to reflect a bit of who you are as a filmmaker
Good
❤️❤️🙄
Back in 1985 in Manchester a guy called Gary hired a real Lamborghini countach and fibreglassed over the top of it to make copies for the kit car world this is 100% genuine story, I have a video call with him on my channel if you are Curious. The story needs to be made into a film could you help? Thanks for your time
Where is your music in the end of the videos like old ones Simon....???...i loved that ending and music too..... anyways yeah in today's world u must post your work on social media....u don't have any idea which door it may open for u
How old are you?
Look at Saul bass
still using t3i? oyeah,rock it.
I know a lot of people who work for movie production companies and one of the things about design and your little drawings on your tablet are great example they are very simple drawings I seen movie Behind the Scenes drawings that look amazing like concept art but majority of them look like stick figures with arrows and lines that kind of indicate Direction so what I'm going to say is just don't be too self-conscious about your drawings
I see the t3i
BTS can surely be rough but should then be honest as well. If you cover those then “done is better than perfect”.
Hey
Why are you out of focus when talking to camera?
First comment
why is video so soft? looks a bit out of focus?
Really inspiring. I recently released my first short film called Fallen World. It’s 30 minutes I’d love if y’all could check it out
I released my first short film today, it’s 30 minutes. Check it out if y’all can and lemme know what y’all think 🙏
