And sure itโ€™s nice to make something that looks good... but the story is what really matters. In this video, I break down the only 9 shots you need to tell almost any story, based on years of experience in filmmaking, commercial directing, and now making (solo) YouTube videos. These are the shots I keep coming back to again and again. Theyโ€™re simple, flexible, and powerful and Iโ€™ll show you how they work, why they matter, and how to use them to bring your stories to life. No complicated gear. No over-the-top setups. Just 9 shots that actually help you tell a story! -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ๐Ÿ“ฉ Join my newsletter for personal insights on the creator journey, filmmaking lessons, and freebies to help you. https://timrunia.kit.com ๐Ÿ“• Stuck in your creative process?
