Myles Tankle's 5️⃣ Links for grokking video editing, lighting and cinematography

I love this stuff because with any art, there is literally no end to what can be created and how it can be created. Video production at all levels requires a lot of planning and thought and knowledge of tools to create a desired effect.

❤️‍🔥 What gets me excited about this

I love this stuff because with any art, there is literally no end to what can be created and how it can be created. Video production at all levels requires a lot of planning and thought and knowledge of tools to create a desired effect.

For anyone technically minded, it's a rabbit hole as there is technical stuff galore. For anyone creatively driven, the process to get ‘that shot’ or ‘that moment’ feels like a never-ending but ultimately very rewarding journey.

#1 | D4Darius [YouTube channel]

Cool, dynamic and easy to understand lessons for anyone starting out.

🔗
#2 | Brandon Li [YouTube channel]

Great videos on how to shoot handheld on location and use fancy things like gimbals. Brandon makes things seems very easy when creating travel style/ corporate videos.

🔗
#3 | Caleb Pike [YouTube channel]

Reviews of all sorts of gear. Once you start watching, you can’t stop.

🔗
#4 | Simple Video Maker [YouTube channel]

Simple, easy to understand video that provide a basic working knowledge of motion graphics. Even the way stuff still boggles my mind.

#5 | Epic Light Media [YouTube channel]

Entertaining and self effacing presenter who breaks down lighting concepts for a variety of use cases.

Which letters
What's the difference?

The Grokkist letter is Danu's monthly letter about the whole Grokkist community: what people are making and thinking about, gatherings coming up, and a handful of Snackables, small good things worth your time.

The Press sends you new writing from this site as it's published (essays, talks, stories, books in instalments), plus a monthly letter from the editor. You can narrow it to the Realms you care about.

Choose either or both. Each email has a one-click way out.

What are the Realms?

Every piece in the Press lives in one or two Realms: regions of the Grokkist world, each asking for a different kind of attention. Pick the ones that draw you, and you'll only hear about pieces from those.

  • Unfolding Realm: identity and becoming
  • Entangled Vale: shared inquiry and making sense together
  • Maker's Forge: creative expression
  • Soma Isles: the body and embodied practice
  • Wild Margin: changemaking and possibility
  • Hearthlands: community and connection
