Tutorial Review: “My YouTube Setup” If you’re thinking about developing a YouTube channel, “My YouTube Setup: How I Make Videos with an iPhone” is a good place to start. Created by UK-based YouTuber @Spawnpoiint, this 18-minute tutorial covers all the basics—including idea development, scripting, shooting, recording, and editing— in a way that’s personal, clear, and practical. Spawnpoiint—a.k.a. “Chris”—takes the minimalist approach. For example his traveling kit contains just three items: camera (phone), tripod, and gimbal. The challenge is getting good production values on a modest budget. Chris has figured out how to do it, and how to enable others to use his methods.

Tutorial review: “The Art of the Opening Scene” This 15-minute tutorial from @StudioBinder covers six techniques for grabbing audiences at the fade-in. Scenes taken from relatively recent films—such as “Skyfall” and “Marriage Story”—illustrate the ideas. While the examples come from big-budget movies, the suggestions apply to any story, whatever the budget. While some cases the focus is on the opening sequence rather than just one scene, that doesn’t detract from the valuable insights into creating compelling film openings.

Tutorial Review: “10 Top Tips for Filming in Sunlight” You need light to create video images. The sun is obviously a terrific light source. But as with many things in life, too much can be…too much. To solve that problem, UK filmmaker Rob Leach offers 10 easy-to-master solutions. Some of the tips require only common sense, for example, finding a shady spot to film in or orienting your actors away from the sunlight so that they won’t squint. Others techniques require inexpensive gear such as a diffusion screen. The FiLMiC Pro camera app (@filmicapps) also comes into play.

Tutorial Review: “Get a Sci-Fi Look with Dry Ice & Fog! Usually, the script will tell you which visual effects you need. But this tutorial by @Ryan_Connolly may motivate you to first have fun making fog and smoke, and then devise scenes that use the stuff. Throughout the six-minute video, Connolly warns that dry ice can be dangerous. You need to wear gloves and treat the ice with respect. If you’re risk averse, you can use regular ice although the fog won’t be as…foggy. You can see this really entertaining tutorial at https://youtu.be/APTf1HwzRR4 If you have a favorite movie fog scene, we invite you to tell us about it. #tutorialreview #filmfog #visualeffects https://www.instagram.com/p/CDcVQWZJUwv/?igshid=v8juzxrzkwy8

Tutorial Review: “Let’s talk about Directing Short Films” This is not a direct-by-numbers presentation: Step 1…Step 2…Step 3… Instead, Film Riot’s @ryan_connolly illuminates the director’s role by discussing what he did while directing a recently completed film—“The Wandering Soul.” Although the lesson zigs and zags, by the end of the 15-minute tutorial, Connolly manages to cover all the directorial tasks found in pre-production, production, and post production. As always, Connolly style is engaging. His passion for filmmaking is on full display. An exponent of collaboration, he clearly admires members of the team he put together. In the most memorable moment of the video, he describes an unplanned meeting with his lead actor. During breakfast before the shoot, they engaged in a discussion that built trust and a shared understanding of the story. The frames here were created by @CineTracer, an app that Connolly uses for previsualization.

Tutorial Review: “Become A Better Filmmaker in 90 Seconds…For Real” There’s a bit of ambiguity in the title of this tutorial. You won’t become a better filmmaker in 90 seconds, but you will get a well-thought-out plan for practicing the art of filmmaking. By implementing the suggestions of Colin and Samir, there’s a good chance that over days, weeks, months, and years, your moviemaking skills will improve. It’s is astonishing how much useful information is packed into this one-and-a-half-minute presentation. Moreover, you won’t find a better demonstration of the value of b-roll. Spoiler alert: While the video certainly qualifies as a tutorial, it’s also a promotion for an hour-long lesson titled “YouTube Storytelling: How to Make Videos that People Share.” The program from @Moment costs $75. If it’s as good as the commercial, it’ll be a bargain.

Tutorial Review: “Location Scouting? Watch this FIRST!” As the title of his tutorial makes clear, Darious Britt (@d4darious) is confident about the knowledge he shares.

In six and a half minutes Darious gives his own spin to the basics such as bring a camera when you’re scouting; use a sun tracker app; listen for ambient audio problems (planes, trains, & automobiles); look for visual possibilities not in the script; and be sure to get permits if required.
