Top Trending Videos And Videographers 2021

In 2021, you tuned in to see NASA’s Mars Perseverance Rover land (live!) on Mars, joined together to set a new record for BTS, and took part in the epic storylines that played out across the Dream SMP, a collaborative Minecraft server with an active fandom full of videographers and commentators.You also raised short-form video to new heights, watching new cooking, dental (yes, dental), and magic creators (on youtube) transform traditional entertainment.

As the year comes to a close, it’s time to celebrate with a look at the top trending videos, videographers, and artists you helped propel to mainstream success.

This year’s top trending videos on youtube saw creators convert some of their most popular content into longer running phenomena. By producing sequels in response to audience demand, these creators showed how to turn one-off wins into full-on series with fresh influence: Dream made speedrunning a spectator sport with his increasingly innovative attempts to defeat Minecraft’s Ender Dragon; Mark Rober went from busting package thieves with his homemade glitter bomb to catching phone scammers; and Dude Perfect used their humorous stereotypes format to shine a light on the types of people you’re likely to meet at a game night.

Also making the year’s top trending list: A new survival challenge from MrBeast, the Weeknd’s much memeified performance at the Super Bowl Halftime Show, a hot take on one of the most talked-about games of the year, a scripted morality lesson, a moving musical audition, and a fight against zombies. Oh, and the socially-distanced inauguration of a new U.S. President and VP.

6 Benefits Of Blogging On LinkedIn

1. Ready-made traffic

Got your own blog? Good. You will know that attracting readers can be tricky (even for professional videographers and bloggers) , especially in the early days. With LinkedIn you are part of a hive that’s 467 million professionals strong. There are people who want to read your content, and plenty of them. LinkedIn helps you reach them – and that starts with your carefully nurtured network of connections.

2. Boost your exposure (beyond LinkedIn)

Of course, LinkedIn allows your readers to share your content across their other social media channels. You could pick up traffic from Twitter, Facebook and all the rest – even if you don’t actively use those platforms yourself. Easy win.

Good posts with eye-catching headlines and a logical structure can earn your company tens of thousands of views. A post by the CEO of investment company adventur.es is a good example of just what blogging on LinkedIn can do for your brand.

3. Get ranked in Google fast

LinkedIn holds phenomenal clout with the search engines. Publish your content and Google will pick it up pronto. That’s excellent news if you’re writing a piece in response to the latest big story in your industry. When the value of your content lies in its timeliness, LinkedIn will help you maximise the opportunity.

4. Build credibility and gain trust

Links to the latest content you publish on LinkedIn are added to the top of your profile. That shows any visitors checking out your profile that you are engaged, knowledgeable and confident enough to make your opinion heard. Ideal for picking up one or two extra credibility points.

5. Drive traffic to your blog

6. Built-in analytics

LinkedIn shows you how many times your content has been viewed, how many shares it’s generated and how many comments readers have felt compelled to leave. That’s useful in any marketer’s book. Especially if you fancy comparing the data with your own blog’s analytics to see which content is working best on each platform.

Best Times to Post on YouTube in 2022 

When is the best time to post on YouTube?

Our 2022 social media trends report shows that the best times to post on YouTube are between 6-9 p.m., 3- 6 p.m., and 12-3 p.m. on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. Creating a video for YouTube isn’t an easy task, even for a videographer. First comes ideation, then scripting followed by filming, and finally editing – and that’s just at a high level. Imagine doing all that work just to upload a video that doesn’t get much traction.

When you’re first starting out, you’re bound to struggle. However, if you’ve been at it for a while and are still not getting any traction from your videos, your upload time could be the culprit.

To start, our report revealed that most marketers surveyed say they post on YouTube four to six times a week – as much as they post on Instagram, TikTok, Reddit, and many other social platforms.

The only platforms where respondents posted every day were Facebook and Twitter.

While other social media platforms offer countless formats to engage audiences, from ephemeral content and in-feed posts to polls and live streaming, some argue YouTube is slow to expand its formats.

Given that, it’s a bit surprising that marketers are posting as often on the platform, especially since it’s long-form content that tends to require more time and effort.

Now onto the good stuff: The best times to post on the platform.

Here’s the breakdown:

  • 31% of respondents said 6 p.m. to 9 p.m.
  • 23% of respondents said 3 p.m. to 6 p.m.
  • 19% of respondents said 12 p.m. to 3 p.m.

As for the best days, data shows that it’s the weekend with Saturdays being the most popular answer, followed by Fridays and then Sundays.

Other video platforms like TikTok and Instagram focus on short-form content, making it easy for consumers to get what they need during breaks throughout the day. YouTube, however, requires a bigger time commitment.

When is the worst time to post on YouTube?

Wondering when you shouldn’t post on the platform? According to our social media trends report, Mondays aren’t so popular among marketers.

Only 5% of marketers surveyed said Mondays were the best time to post on the video platform. The second least-popular day was Tuesday, followed by Wednesday.

As for the times, here’s the breakdown:

  • 6 a.m. to 9 a.m.
  • 9 p.m. to 12 a.m. (midnight)
  • 9 a.m. to 12 p.m.

Fewer than 20% of respondents said an early morning posting (between 6 a.m. and noon) offered the best results.

Does it matter what time you post on YouTube?

The answer to this is both yes and no. It matters what time you post on YouTube in the short term because it will impact how many views your video gets within the first few hours.

However, it doesn’t play a huge role in the long term. Say your video was posted at 3 a.m., that has little impact on how many views it can garner over the next couple of months or years.

Unlike a platform like Instagram where fresh content is key to success, novelty is not the biggest ranking factor on YouTube.

This means that even if your video may not perform well initially, if it’s the most relevant video to a user’s query, it can quickly gain traction.

How to Find Your Channel’s Best Time to Post

Your Analytics dashboard is the best place to go to find the most accurate and reliable data on your channel.

If your channel generates enough traffic, you’ll gain access to an advanced report which shows you when your viewers are most active on the platform. 

To access this page, follow these steps.

  • Open YouTube Studio.
  • Click on “Analytics.”
  • Open the “Audience” tab and view your report.

6 tips for wildlife videos and videographers

Shooting great wildlife footage can be quite challenging as you’re dealing with animals that can be unpredictable. The best wildlife videographers are the best because they have the right gear,, they put themselves in the best position to get the most epic shot. Here are some tips for shooting great wildlife footage.

Step 1: Make A Plan

You should set out with a basic plan, but keep it flexible so you can adjust on the fly and not get too disappointed if things don’t go your way. Observe your surroundings so you can find other vantage points if your first choice isn’t working out. If one entire location isn’t getting you any results, plan out some other places you could pick up and go to as long as you aren’t sacrificing too much time and light.

Having a basic plan can help narrow your initial focus, but allow you to make adjustments based on what the actual reality of your shooting location ends up being.

Step 2: Choose the Right Gear For the Job

The right gear isn’t always the most expensive or the most cutting-edge piece of technology available (although it can certainly help in many cases), but the best for your shooting situation. You may not be able to lug a high-end cinema camera and its tripod or gimbal 10 miles through the swamp. Similarly, having only one prime lens could severely limit the amount of footage you can capture.

Think about where you’re going, and what type of footage you’re planning on shooting, then choose the gear best suits the situation. You’ll almost always need a tripod, a stabilizer, or some other mount to keep the shots steady, which is crucial for great footage. As contributor Shannon__Wild says, “A quality, sturdy tripod is essential for this line of work.

Accessories like lens hoods can block flares, glares, and protect your lens; lens extenders can give you a longer focal range (at the expense of a couple stops of light); ND filters can allow you to shoot with a larger aperture/more shallow depth of field in brighter environments.

Step 3: Shoot With Purpose, & Tell A Story

You should always follow the basics for shooting high quality video, meaning using the rule of thirds, avoiding mid-day shooting when possible, and minimizing shakiness (among other things), but there are also additional aspects to consider when you get in position and start to hit record.

Overall, telling a story should inform a lot of your decisions when it comes to shooting wildlife. The composition, the focal length, the frame rate, etc. all contribute to how the footage is interpreted. If your story is about how fast cheetahs are, that should come across in your footage. If your story is about how cold it is where some animals live, show them in their natural surroundings.

Step 4: Don’t Ignore the Sound

Sound can be a vital part of creating an immersive viewing experience, but it’s also hard to capture sound if you’re shooting from far away with telephoto lenses. If you or other videographers are close enough to your subject to capture the sound, bring along a directional microphone (or use your camera’s shotgun mic), a wind screen, and pick up some ambience of what you’re shooting. Get the microphone as close as you can or feel comfortable doing, and see how it works. If your location is a predictable spot for the animals to be, you can even try placing a microphone there before they arrive.

If, however, gathering sound isn’t feasible due to the extra weight or the distance you are from your subjects, don’t hesitate searching through the Pond5 Sound Effects collection to find something that works. Either that or try and foley some in yourself. After all, many sounds for wildlife films are a mixture of in-studio production, pre-recorded sounds, and sounds shot on-location.

Step 5: Wait. And Then Wait Some More

Patience is the name of the game when it comes to shooting wildlife. One reason is that animals need to get comfortable with you; another is that you may need to arrive well before they do and wait for them to show up. You’ll be able to pick up on their habits, know where they’re going, and understand the bigger story. This advice works for the environment you’re filming as well. Observing the environment around you helps you to understand the terrain, the best shooting angles, and can lead to better footage all around.

As Gene Cornelius, Pond5 contributor “Mizamook” says, “luck is a factor, of course, but patience, I think, wins the day. You quickly discover that you are not patient enough as the event you’ve been waiting for happens always the moment you strike your tripod, decide to go for a break, or even turn away to fumble for a spare battery. Had you been a tad more patient, you might have had it.”

Step 6: Leave No Trace

In this entire filmmaking try not to damage the environment around you or harm the thing you’re trying to capture. This includes not littering, not walking in roped off areas and respecting barricades.

As a videographer( or videographers if your in a group) these tips will help so much and upgrade your videos.

Will 8K Be The Future? Will It It Help Video Production

Should you consider an 8K TV? Are they the best tv’s out there? In a word: No. In two words: Not yet. You’re better off getting a high-quality 4K TV for far less money. It will look better with 99.9% of the content you put on it. That said, 8K is here, and it’s not going away, so it’s worth taking a closer look. You’ll need to look very close, as those pixels are tiny. Now this may increase your video production by using the 8K tv to show your product.

Eventually 8K will be far more mainstream. Does this mean your 4K TV is already obsolete? Should you wait to buy a new TV until 8K prices drop?

This shows the relative number of pixels in each of the major resolution formats. Not actual size of course; this is a chart not a visual representation (though it is to scale if you click on it).

Is it worth buying an 8K TV?

Here’s a quick summary of our current thinking regarding 8K TVs in early 2022.

  • Unless you have money to burn, don’t even consider buying one right now.
  • From what we’ve seen, there’s little, if any, image quality improvement over 4K TVs.
  • To get the most out of any 8K TV, you need actual 8K content (and there basically isn’t any).
  • In the next few years 8K TVs will get cheaper and perhaps actually be worth considering.

To reiterate, one of the biggest reasons 8K TVs are not as amazing as you might expect, besides their price ( less money to spend and more for your video production) is that there simply aren’t any 8K TV shows or movies to watch on them. The best you can get in most cases is 4K, so all those extra pixels of an 8K TV won’t be used to their fullest potential. 

Now that you’ve slid your wallet back into your pocket, sit back and soak in everything there is to know about 8K TVs today. 

What is 8K, and is it better than a 4K TV?

A traditional HDTV from a few years ago is 1080p, which means it has 1,920 pixels horizontally and 1,080 vertically. Many digital cinema projectors — the ones in movie theaters — have a resolution of 2,048×1,080. Because it’s common in Hollywood-speak to only refer to the horizontal resolution, they call that “2K,” ( so, not to good for your video production) but it’s basically the same as the HDTV 1080p you have at home.

The term “4K” comes from the digital cinema side, too, with a horizontal resolution of 4,096, hence “4K.” However, on the TV side, manufacturing efficiencies meant we got double the horizontal and vertical resolutions of 1080p HDTV, so 3,840×2,160 pixels. Everyone colloquially calls this “4K,” though the technical term is Ultra HD. This has four times as many pixels as 1080p HD.

Which brings us to 8K. You guessed it: twice the horizontal and vertical resolution of 4K, for a whopping 7,680×4,320 and 33,177,600 total pixels. Not only is that four times the resolution of 4K, that’s an incredible 16 times more pixels than 1080p. Or to put that differently, you could put 16 full-resolution 1080p videos on an 8K screen at the same time with no loss of quality. I’m not sure why you’d want to do this, but hey, why not?

What Are 360 Videos? Your Video Production?

Videographers might not be familiar with what 360 videos is, but they have likely seen it before.

It’s the type of spherical video that surrounds your entire view and captures every direction at once.

The technology behind this kind of footage has been around for years, but recent advances to smartphones and VR headsets have made this form of recording easier than ever.

What Is 360 Video?

Recording 360-degree videos can be tricky – if you do not use the right equipment, your camera may have blind spots that cannot be seen in the final product.

This is accomplished by recording the video with multiple cameras and stitching it together.

It’s possible to look up and down at once with 360 video. There are many different ways that people can take 360 videos – by using specialized equipment or just their phone camera.

It can be watched on any device and is used in VR (virtual reality) headsets to allow the viewer to explore or experience the content as if they are there.

But what exactly does this mean? How does it work? Let’s find out!

360 Video Formats

There are many different formats for 360 video ranging from mono to stereo to multi-camera setups.

The most popular type of camera used for 360 videos is an omnidirectional rig (ODR).

How To Watch 360 Degree Video?

Do you want to watch 360 degree video?

Watching a 360-degree video is not the same as watching normal videos on your phone. You need to use VR glasses or download an app that allows you to watch it on your TV screen.

In order for these types of videos to work properly, viewers need to download a special app that allows them access.

If you don’t have either of these, then the next best thing would be googling “360-degree video player” and finding one that works for you.

Why Should I Be Interested In 360° Video Now?

360° cameras are now more affordable than ever and the quality of footage is better than in previous years.

They’re a great way to capture memories, preserve moments that take place away from our screens, or even for those who want to be able to share their life with friends and family all over the world.

Since the beginning of time, humans have been in pursuit of knowledge. As technology has advanced, we have found ourselves with greater access to this knowledge.

This surge in information is now happening exponentially and at a blistering pace—so much so that people are struggling to keep up with what’s happening around them.

The 360° is an immersive video format that has been around for a few years. However, it’s just now gaining popularity with the release of affordable 360° cameras and VR headsets to make viewing these videos more user-friendly.

You can shoot them on your phone or use a device like Ricoh Theta which is small enough to bring anywhere you want! They’re perfect for travel, vacations, concerts and even weddings.

This type of content is perfect for advertising products as it makes viewers feel like they’re experiencing them firsthand with no barriers between themselves and whatever is being shown on screen.

It also has other potential uses such as showing off an event or venue before it opens its doors to guests.

Publishing Your 360° Video Content

It is time to start publishing your 360° content. The days of just posting a video and leaving it there are over, so I’ve compiled some tips for you to get started.

-Plan out the weeks ahead and post on specific days or topics in order to build up an audience  -Use hashtags like #360Video or #VRVideo in order to reach a

wider audience -Engage with your viewers by asking questions and having fun with them via social media such as Facebook Live or Instagram Live!

The way you create and publish your 360° content is just as important as the quality of the photos.

If your images are poorly edited, there will be a lot more work to do in post-production which can lead to less than stellar results.

It’s best to use high-quality editing software such as Adobe Photoshop or Lightroom for raw photo editing and then enhance them with other digital tools like filters, textures, overlays, etc.

Stitching 360° Video

It might be hard to find videos like this, but they are out there.

I’ve been learning about stitching and how it can make these videos possible. In the past few months, I have come across more interesting articles on stitching and learned new things with every one of them.

How can you stitch a 360° video? How do you create an immersive experience for the viewer? These are questions that we will answer in this post. We will go through the steps of stitching, what gear to use, and how to edit your footage so it’s seamless.

If you’re into filmmaking, then 360° video is a must. This article will help you understand the basics of stitching and offer some tips on how to make it work for your next project.

What if you could stitch together images and video from all 360° around you? That is the idea behind stitching.

This blog post will go over what stitching is and how it works as well as some of the different uses for stitching.

The 8-Second Rule Of Video Content Online

The human attention span is impressively short; we can decide if video production agency bothered by something within 8 seconds. Time magazine has recently revealed that attentions spans have dropped by 4 seconds in the past few years. What are the first 8 seconds of your video saying to your audience?

Video production agencys can be your best friend when it comes to boosting brand awareness and marketing. However, it has been revealed that of all your video views. Almost 20 percent of people stop watching during the first 8 seconds.

With this scary thought in mind, you should be looking closely at the first few seconds of your videos.

Think about the impact of your thumbnail. Your audience will make the decision to watch your video based on several factors, and one of the main ones is whether the very first image they see is a pleasing one or not.

Try to use a brand-specific thumbnail, if possible, this is so that your videos are easily recognised by your viewers and clients.

Moving past the still image, try to begin your video without an overly cheesy and cringe-worthy introduction. It is important to tell your viewers what they need to know, but there are many ways of doing this, so if you can try not to cop out and do the easiest and most done to death intro there is.

You also need to avoid the temptation to throw your logo on screen as soon as possible. The first couple of seconds is about engaging with the audience, by slapping your logo in the corner you will be putting off the viewer.
