What do you do if your creative video directing lacks technical expertise?

There are probably 3 key ways to improve the overall technical quality of a video you're directing. First, reach out to a videographer or cinematographer near you who's work you admire. Buy them a coffee and ask questions. More often than not they're happy to help someone along the way. Second, resources are everywhere. Youtube is filled with videos on every topic including filmmaking and all it's technical aspects. Lastly, if you have a budget hiring a cinematographer, or production company is a great way to let your creativity flow while letting knowledgeable technicians handle the "how". Many famous directors just want to work with actors and tell stories while relying on a seasoned cinematographer to make it happen.

To keep it Short and sweet- always go back to basics. Once the foundations are perfected, you can add on however many fancy visual and sound effects you like, but, it doesn’t count for anything if the original video is lacking.

Ao enfrentar o desafio de dirigir um projeto de vídeo sem um conhecimento técnico profundo, a solução inicial e mais prática é investir no aprendizado dos fundamentos técnicos da produção de vídeo. Explorando os Fundamentos Técnicos para Enriquecer a Direção de Vídeo 🎥✨ Na jornada criativa, especialmente em vídeo, entender os aspectos técnicos pode ser tão vital quanto a visão artística. Aprenda o Básico: Domine conceitos fundamentais como taxas de quadros e proporções de tela. Iluminação: A iluminação é uma ferramenta artística poderosa. Tipos de Planos e Movimentos de Câmera: Diferentes planos e movimentos pode adicionar dinamismo e profundidade narrativa ao seu trabalho.

Technical expertise, as depicted in title, posed as challenging questions, seems disconnected. Learning basics is far from achieving expert status, especially when time is a constraint. So, without prioritising basic learning, how long until we perfect workflow and staff training? Alternatively, should we consider AI replacements, capable of acquiring basic skills swiftly? This opens a discussion on the urgent need. Mentors, in terms of technology guidance, seem irrelevant. Collaboration, facilitated by a community hub, emerges as a viable solution for sharing experiences and advice. I advocate for a pathway of continuous learning and staying abreast of evolving skills and trends.

You can’t do anything until you learn the basics. You can’t even know what the basics are unless you know them. It’s important to know and understand the basics in order to have efficient conversation in professional work situations. These basics can span anywhere from safety to techniques. Find out if there are any standard certifications in your field of production and take the time to learn and pass the certification. These small steps will help you on your journey to becoming a confident and useful working professional.

There is no right answer, course you can take, or institution that can truly support your growth. Mentors can take your goals and make them practical. Often, mentors are people in your field that have been there and done that. Sometimes they can point you where you need to go. They can’t do the work for you, but they can provide you with guidance and opportunity for you to get the experience you need. Maybe they don’t have an answer, but a different perspective. Any form a mentor takes should not be taken for granted.

You are always better off relying on the knowledge and experience of your crew. Even if you think you already know the answers, let someone else be the expert. Let the ones who deal with the knowledge you need on a daily basis handle the challenges they were meant for rather than trying to recreate the wheel or do it all yourself. Be a director not a dictator.

One thing you learn quickly working in video production is that you can’t do everything yourself. It’s important for you, your project, and community to bring in and rely on other people to uplift your vision. There are people who specialize in different parts of production for a reason. It takes years of focus and discipline to master different talents and anyone great at seeing a production through will tap into their network and let people do what they do best to take their project to the next level.

I’m always finding new ways to level up. This is the whole point of life after all, isn’t it!? There’s always something new to learn. It’s not about always having the newest gear, it’s about understanding the gear you have and understanding the gear you would like to work with. For me, I also think it’s important to practice on your own time. Taking online courses about filmmaking, listening to podcasts, and reading books about directing is where I find the most helpful paths to learning. But the BEST way to learn has to be to get out there and do. To be on sets. To work on projects that challenge you, and to surround yourself with folks that you can learn from.

You should constantly be improving, in all aspects of life, most importantly your professional life. There are ALWAYS new cool techniques, technologies, softwares, plugins, just waiting for you to discover them. The more you learn and experiment, the better and more confident you become.

Continuous learning is a key factor between being good and next level great. No body knows everything and excepting it to improve on what you know or strengthen a weakness. Makes for better results at both work and life.

In this ever changing landscape of all things digital it is more imperative than at any other time in history to maintain a level of acumen about trends and technologies that will impact those trends as time passes by. You don’t necessarily need to know how to operate or perform specific tasks, those will be up to your creative team to sort out, but your direction into what is possible is key here so you can better direct your team into the future.

As a video editor, AI is scary.. but there are also a TON of ways it can help us out and make our day to day jobs and workflows that much easier and efficient.

Your beautiful creative project is in your head. You need to learn the technical stuff to bring it to screen. Learn learn learn, experiment and make mistakes and learn more. Do not be afraid to fail.

Collaborate. Filmmaking didn't begin as a solo activity and I feel that we lose sight of the advantages of collaboration because of all the technology we have now that has reduced a crew of creatives down to a one-man band. Don't get me wrong, I film solo all the time, but there is just something about having someone else around to help you. Either to aid with the technical aspects of the shoot, to bounce ideas off of, or just an extra pair of hands. But at the end of the day, if you're trying to make something that you can't because you lack the knowledge right now, you should pull someone in to help teach you. That could be a peer or a mentor, but they will ensure you know it for this shoot and the next one when you're on your own again.

If you know how to communicate your creative vision, you can hire the technical people to make it happen. I've seen people trying to make an amazing first short film that lives up to their vision by trying to learn to do everything themselves, without actually being willing to fail. So, they never made that short film and probably never will. In the end most creative videos do entail some kind of teamwork. Find the team that gives you energy and compliments the skills you lack.
