Over the years I’ve gotten a lot of questions about how I make my videos, or video essays in general. And so instead of responding to each DM and comment one by one, I figured I would just try and put it all into one video. I’m by no means an expert, I’m far from the biggest and best video essayist on this platform, but this is just my process and some of the things I’ve learned in the 5 years I’ve been doing this. If you’re a beginner, this video is for you, but if you’re already making videos for the internet, maybe stick around, because I need you to catch when I’m doing something stupid. What's the best microphone for video essayists? What's the best camera for YouTube? What's the best video editor? How do you get movie clips?

So this is how to make videos about movies for people on the internet.
