Wow Amazing Camera…👍
Can you make a video of your camera settings? <3
Wow this was such great information! Thank you so much!! I have watched probably 5 or 6 tip videos so far today, and this was by far the best! Thank you! <3
Thank you for your time spent on this video it was very helpful for me
Hooray for the Sigma! The 18-135 is a good lens but not as fast as the Sigma in low light. The Rokinon is a good cheapy ultra-wide lens. Had the Manfrotto head – you can do better for about $100 more with a better Manfrotto tripod head….Gorillapods for great cheapy tabletop tripods.
If you can help me out with a small problem that would be great!, Infact anyone can help me out please!
I am using a Cannon 1300D EOS and I need to get a mic to go ontop of it to record better sound, Which microphone and cable would work best with it?
I have tried to research online but I found nothing.
Thanks mam
For a beginner filmmaker on a budget, do you recommend the canon T4i or T5i?
Light you are using is awesome I really like it
excellent you explain very well but why do you record audio separate ?
1:30 I think you mean G7X?
Awesome. Thanks
Pls make a video how to use adobe to edit video for beginners ?
Thanks
Thanks for the great info in this vid. BTW while not 100% sure, your notbook specs are: I7 Quad core 2.5 Ghz processor, 16 GB 1600MHZ DDR3 Memory, 512 GB Flash HD. 2GB Intel Iris Pro Graphics. There are lesser versuons, this is the better for that yr. Good power for video editing at the time.

Girl I love your hair… so pretty. 🙂
I liked the clap bit, thanks!!!!!
This was very helpful. Thanks so much!
Great tips, ty <3
nice video…..really helpful
Dont bother with a remote. Almost all DSLR's have apps that you can DL which when connected to the camera (simply by touching the phone to the camera side as with the Canon 80d) can be used to start, stop, focus, change ISO, aperture, shutter speed, etc. I love the app…especially when taking long exposure photos, as touching the button can cause image movement issues….anyway love ya!
Nice video very informative.. Kudos to your honesty and sincerity to help out those people like us who doesn't have enough knowledge about the necessary equipment in filming for YouTube. Thank you "kaibigan"..
Will use some of these tips for my beauty channel 💖
