Tips From Marques Brownlee
Learn From The Best
“When I see a shot in a video or movie I like, I’ll Google it to find out what it is and how to do it. I watch a lot of YouTube tutorials. The more often I do it, the more steps I remember—and the easier it gets.”
Shoot For The Editor
“At events I’ll make a list of everything I want to capture, shoot it, and then record audio back at my hotel since it’s a more controlled environment. I film knowing what type of effects I want to add afterward.”
Speak To What You’ve Filmed
“I have talking points to make sure I don’t forget anything important. It’s more of a conversation than a script. If I fully scripted videos, I would never finish anything on time.” This article was originally published in the January/February 2016 issue of Popular Science.
