Hi listeners, 

I talk about my favourite filmmaking YouTube channels and no offense to anyone but I am not including the Peter Mckinnons or Daniel Schiffers of YouTube in this one. It's not like I don't watch their content but it's more about the fact that I guess you already might know about them and sorry to say this, but they don't fall into my top 5 list anyway.

Also, golden deal here - Please share this episode mentioning 3 of your favorite Youtube channels in it and I will send you my favourite lightroom preset that I have created so far!
