OR A ONE WOMAN TEAM. MUCH LOVE TO ALL THE FEMALE FILMMAKERS OUT THERE!!! You are crushing it!
-
You don’t know this, but your videos have been a ton of help for me!
-
Can we please take a second to appreciate this dude making such amazing films every dang week?! I appreciate it a lot man. Learning something new on a weekly basis!
-
Mark, I’m an ICU nurse who also has a love for documentaries. I’ve been in discussions with my hospital about filming a documentary inside the COVID unit I work on. The information in this video was so incredibly pertinent to me! I’m an absolute novice, and this project is bigger than me, but with the help of people like you, I feel like I can succeed!

i was typing how to Film a Documentary By yourself i swear to God ,and then saw this on the Feed, Love you man
-
Figuring out the ending before you start is fantastic advice. Thank you!
-
Great tips Mark! Completely agree with all of these tips especially the "compact soundbites"! As someone who produces 1 min stories out of 20-30 minutes interviews with 2-3 people, this is key!
-
P.S., Mark: the thumbnail image for this video is exquisite! The night nuances that decorate the female just demand appreciation from a visiting eye. And you yourself with the decked-out camera is perfect complement to her. In a thumbnail! 💛🤗
-
SOLID tips man. I love solo shooting. LESS IS MORE.
-
Thank you, Mark. A lot of excellent points in here. My favorite is "simplify your gear". That's huge- remembering that we're there to capture a story and not to play with our toys.
-
Seeing those people worshiping was a beautiful sight man. Love it.
-
Hi Mark. Great tip about getting subjects to summarise what they've said over long interviews. Will definitely be applying that technique.
-
mark You're simply amazing man the fact that you're giving away knowledge that universities are charging thousands of dollars for I really do want you to know I appreciate it
-
Your videos have an incredible amount of value mate. They make me wanna go out and shoot films immediately! Thank you thank you!!!
-
Perfect timing, prepping for just this. Thank you!
-
Hey Mark, I just wanted to tell you how inspiring your videos are. They really helped me grow as a filmmaker, because your videos are not just about gear and stuff like that, but the craft itself. Thank you so much. Greetings from Germany
-
This was one of the most value adding videos I have seen in 2020! Thank you for sharing these tips. We love your channel!!!
-
This is so reaffirming Mark! I feel as a growing filmmaker, it's so nice to feel validated. Seriously appreciate the gems you're dropping in these videos. Super stoked to go watch No Country Is An Island!
-
Dude... your videos are like quality... not just about the best cameras or gimmicky video techniques.. I feel like I’m actually in film school when I watch your vids. I appreciate your work so much, it’s nice to see an actual working professional teach. Merry Christmas to you and your family man.
-
Solid tips and video as always Mark! Always appreciate your knowledge and there's always something to pick up!
