“With over 15 million followers and 3 billion views, Marques’ reviews and tutorials have awarded him the title Creator of the Decade,” said David Rogier, founder and CEO of MasterClass. “Whether members want to learn video creation as a side hustle or up the quality of their existing videos, this session will give them the tools to create engaging content. Marques demos equipment options for every budget and skill level, creating sample videos to guide members along the way.”
MasterClass members will be able to follow Brownlee’s process on producing epic videos, from idea to execution, and complete hands-on assignments. The session is broken down into five sections:
- Starting Your Process: After a brief recap of his career making videos, Brownlee will guide members through how to pick their next video idea and complete the preproduction planning.
- Creating the Best Videos: Members will practice the tactical skills they will need to produce high-class videos, including lighting techniques, framing and composition.
- Connecting With Your Audience: Brownlee will teach members how to create content that engages their audience. They will practice finding ideal eyelines, learn how to utilize microphones and capture on-camera performances.
- Creating Better Visuals: Members will discover how to source and incorporate stock footage to further tell their story and shoot sample B-roll. Then they will learn the basic editing skills needed to bring visuals to life in their videos.
- Packaging Your Videos: Brownlee will provide pro tips on choosing titles and thumbnails that pull in viewers. Members will walk away from this section with a final packaged video that is ready to post to any platform.
“I believe making videos, especially independent creation, is the best medium for expressing the most engaging story possible,” Brownlee said. “As a self-taught video creator, my class teaches members both the fundamentals and nuances of making engaging videos that will both build a following and empower them to create video content that they love.”
Brownlee, also known as MKBHD, is a highly successful YouTuber and tech video creator with more than 15 million subscribers and almost 3 billion views. Brownlee made his first technology video at age 14 and began posting his videos as a hobby in high school. Since, he has grown one of the most subscribed-to technology-focused YouTube channels where he shares product reviews, explainer videos and interviews. Over the years, he has interviewed a variety of high-profile people, including Elon Musk, Bill Gates and President Barack Obama to discuss their perspectives on the latest in tech. In 2018, Brownlee was named the Creator of the Decade at the Shorty Awards.
