This is probably the best/most helpful video I have watched for getting started with photography/videography. Thank you!

I watched this in film making class

great video! exactly how I needed It to be explained! thank you

take off those glassless frame

dude u made me rediscover my passion for filmmaing !

Love hearing, watching, and learning about the "golden ratio" - an excellent video about math & beauty...

Your part about looking space was incredibly helpful. I will try the "lead room" technique in my next video. However, it may be difficult for I am the director, lead actor, producer, sound engineer, yeah, a one man show. Oh wait, I think I can use a different camera that would allow me to keep my framing, golden ration, and the amount of negative space in check. Yes, I shall give it go... Thank you Darious 👍

Learn your rules. You've got to learn your rules. If you don't, you'll be eaten in your sleep. Growl.

Congratulations, D4Darious! Your video was a part of the official curriculum of the college Media Foundations course I am taking, and it was very helpful.

Thank you (take luv from Bangladesh)

Clever & entertaining.

Maybe at this point, you might wanna keep Will Smith's name out your mouth. 😂🤣😂🤣💀😭

THANK YOU SO MUCH!

Plz don't waste papers 🗞️

great vid..

Obviously rules generalize decisions, because you should never ignore a good idea for the sake of a rule, but generally speaking, my rule is as soon as action kicks up, I go to center framing, and any other time I use the rule of thirds. Basically, for the reason you were describing if you have a lot of quick cut movement I think it’s easier to follow when your framing is centered.

I saw this video a couple years ago, and it inspired me to get into videography. I'm not the greatest at it, but I'm learning and getting better. Thanks man.

Great explanations without boring me out of my mind. Thank you!!!

Good work, precise!

Using Boondock Saints as reference and then using the rule of thumb to put the rule of thirds in perspective is a hidden gem of this episode 😁

thanks bro 💙

💓

I’m thinking to myself damn this guy got the 2016 vibe going on not noticing this video is 5 years old. Dope video

It took you 60 seconds to explain composition that other people could not do in 5 to 120 minutes. Thanks a lot!!!

This is exactly what I was looking for. ❤🎉😮

U R so talented tbh
Keep going dude❤

Thanks, D4Darious, for the presentation. I learned a lot.

This is such a masterpiece of You Tube.

Using this for my hs video production class. It's fun, engaging and easy to understand. Thanks. This looks like a ton of work.

How did you feel about the Will Smith Slap?
