Beginner

Anyone have specific free youtube/online courses learning the basics of videography? Or, care to share their experience on how they got started?

Are you a beginner with it all? Equipment, technical skills, cinematography technique, etc.

I did a lot of YouTube searching and watching before I settled on a few channels I liked. For me, by far, I find Simon d’Entremont’s channel to have the best technical skills instruction and also just great practical advice. He shoots Canon but his channel content applies across brands. He is more photo focused than video. But a lot of what he talks about crosses over between the twos. No equipment reviews. Just covers technical skills and technique. I still search and watch content from many channels but I often search specifically for something he did on the subject.

I find just searching YT for something like “videography for beginners” and viewing the videos with the most views will get you started finding good YT content. You’ll eventually find channels and content you gel with and watch regularly.
