Wow ppl..I am sure he isnt doing this for money or anything. You should be more grateful for the time he spent trying to help people like you. Personally I find him very informative.

Those who can... do. Those who cannot... teach. And those who cannot teach never have the courage or chutzpah to crawl out from their place of safety behind a camera (or more likely from their fantasy world) and help the rest of us. AV production is difficult, calls for an unusual blend of technical and creative excellence, and it's useful to get real: there is no way a one man band (however talented) will ever equal the Boston Symphony orchestra. But he can still entertain and have fun. TYVM

I am thinking about creating a documenteary for a school project on video game addiction, drugs, poverty, or something along those lines. I found this video extrenely imformative, as i have always wanted to do this.

To the guy who creates these tutorial documentary videos:

PLEASE MESSAGE ME! I'm in a media arts program right now and ever since I started in video production I've wanted to make a documentary but I need a lot of help. I don't know where to start. Can you please message me so I can explain to you my ideas? Thanks! :)

Dividing things into chapters! That might save my current project entirely!

Most often the moments you don't expect to capture are what you end up sculpting your pieces around, & how do you work them into a whole when you've got 16 hours of footage??

fil making and doucementing is all a tricky business.. one must be reaaly into it. to become big in that field.. or else its just one big waste of time !!

Now, would it look ok if I did the "Chapter" thing with a 10 min. Documentary?
