A few of you guys have asked, Tim,
what's your process for making each of these videos?
And so today I'm going to show you my exact process,
and it starts with cleaning up my basement
from all the kids' toys.
[LAUGHTER]
[MUSIC PLAYING]
Right now, my family and I are in the process
of packing up our house.
We just bought a new house.
We're getting ready to move, and so there's a lot of junk
all over.
And you can see, this doubles as our living space
with our TV and our couch, as well as my shooting area.
And so we need to clean all this up.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
Now that my camera is all set up, I am ready to go.
Say hi, [INAUDIBLE]. hi.
[LAUGHTER]
So I am really looking forward to getting this new house
because then I'll just have my own dedicated studio
space where I can just leave everything set up
and come down and shoot for you guys,
just on the fly whenever I want, rather
than having to wait till the kids are asleep
and everything like that, and the house is quiet.
So it'll be great.
So this is when everything is actually done being set up
and ready to shoot.
Now, obviously I need content, right?
So actually what I did all day today--
I'm here at my computer-- and I spent almost all day
just gathering, and researching, gathering data,
researching topics that you guys have
requested, that you guys have said you're interested in.
And so right here is my Evernote document.
I use Evernote.
You guys can use whatever works best for you, obviously.
So I have one Notebook in here just called Video Notes,
and this is where I just kind of go.
So these are going to be all the videos I'm going to shoot here
today for the rest of July and into August a little bit.
And so I have five videos outlined,
and these are where I keep other past videos that I've done.
But right here, July and August Tips.
So the first one is going to be how YouTube Stardom Can Slowly
Ruin Your Life.
And then I'm going to be-- there's
all my notes for that one.
Then I have this note.
It's How to Legally Download Other People's YouTube Videos.
This is the one I'm doing right now,
My Process for Shooting Videos.
Not too many notes needed for that.
A review of this camera I'm using right now.
The G7X Mark II, pros and cons on that.
And this one's Three Strategies to a Full-Time YouTube Income,
and my notes for that.
So all I'm going to do now is put them here on my the iPad.
It will automatically sync to Evernote
and then I can just stand over here and go ahead and shoot
them for you.
See?
It's right here, ready to go.
Now, two common questions that you guys usually ask around
this point is, Tim, one, how many takes do you end up doing?
How long does it take you to do each of these videos?
And I have a video that shows the entire
behind the scenes of me standing right here,
looking at that camera, shooting for you guys.
I'll link up to it in the description below
or a card around here will pop up to it.
And then the second question is, Tim,
what camera gear and equipment are you using?
What lights are these?
What camera is that?
What microphone are you going to use?
All that, and I have another video
that gets into all my gear that I've already done for you guys
too.
Link to that is in the description below.
Or again, a card will pop up around here
and that will take you where you can check out
all the gear I'm using, and all the links,
and everything I recommend, and all that kind of stuff.
One thing I don't have in those videos
though is because I'm back shooting all my videos at once,
I don't want to look that way, you know,
when you watch all these videos.
And so I actually go through a few different shirts.
I have my shirts lined up.
Looks like I grabbed a gray one, I grabbed the blue one.
I got a blue stripey one, a red one,
and then a red striped one.
And so between each video, I change my shirts
so it looks like I didn't shoot them all in a batch.
The next thing I do is take a little bit of time just
to adjust the camera.
I get the focus lined up.
This is my little remote I use to get the focus just right.
You know, that's just like having the shutter button
right here in my hand because I can't reach that far
and grab the camera, obviously.
And then I set my spot.
This time, I'm using two DVDs, "Night at the Museum" and "Baby
Einstein" it looks like.
[LAUGHTER]
I set my spot right here.
So as I go from here up to the camera and back,
I can just jump right into the spot
without having to worry about focus and things like that.
So now it's time to shoot.
I'm going to do that, and I'll be right back in a second
to show you what I do with all the footage
after I'm done shooting.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
All right.
I'm done shooting that video.
I'm going to take it out, my card out of the camera.
And I'm going to take it back to my computer back here.
Usually, I don't do this with every single video I do like,
right away.
I usually just kind of shoot all my videos
batch them all up on the card and then transform all at once.
But for the sake of this-- plus, that last video
was really long, so I kind of want to get off
of here onto my computer.
And I'm going to dump it onto Dropbox, just like this.
I'm going to create a new folder.
And I title it the name of the video, just like that.
I'm going to open it up.
And then over here is all the files from my card.
Go into here.
And these are the ones that I took.
So I'm going to get those, copy them.
Or I'll just click and drag them over into that.
And so now that's going to start copying them over.
And then while that's doing that,
I come over here to Trello.
I have a whole other video about this,
which I'll link up in the description or a card
around there.
I have a video editor, Julia, she's awesome.
Julia, you can say hi right here if you'd like to.
Hi, video creators.
This is our column for new videos.
I've uploaded the Dropbox for her.
So I come here, title it that.
Click on Add.
And then here, I'll edit it and I'll give it a different label.
This one.
Kind of like a-- I'll add it as a YouTube tip.
And then I'll probably want to give it a new due date.
And let's just say this one, I want it due on the 27th.
Click on Save, and click on Save.
And so now Julia, my editor, knows
that this video is uploaded to Dropbox,
which she can find right here in Dropbox as it's being uploaded
to her right now.
And so then she'll go through the process of editing it.
Once the video is edited, she puts a draft of it
here in frame.io, it's a website.
And this is just like collaborative editing.
You can see over here all of our comments of our discussion
that we've had going back and forth on this video.
You know, so I can just click on her comment
and it'll take me right to that point in the video.
So it looks like I'm like, a praying mantis.
[CHUCKLING]
Or she can click on it and take-- it just takes you
to the different places in the video, where we just kind of go
back and forth about stuff.
And it's cool too because I can actually edit on here.
I can like, draw annotations if I'd like.
You know, here I'm using the paint brush and this.
And I can say, hey, you need to fix this spot right here
and I'm going to change it to like, an arrow.
And that's the part that needs to be fixed.
You know, we can do a lot of stuff like that.
So we go back and forth.
She's really good.
Like, we have very minimal revisions usually
that need to be done.
This is an exceptional number of comments.
Usually there's not this many.
I actually have a whole video dedicated
to that process of working with an editor and everything.
A link to that is in the description below or a card
will pop up around here for that as well.
And that will take you through, step by step,
how do I work with my editor if you
want to get into more details about how the process works
from this point forward.
And that is basically the process I go through
to make videos for you guys.
So I'm really looking forward to hearing your comments.
What does your process look like?
I'm looking forward to learning from you guys.
Where do you find that I could maybe shorten some steps,
and save some time, or be more efficient?
I'm looking forward to reading all down there,
and guys learn from each other as well.
