Have you ever wondered what it’s like to film a CaliKim video? What part surprised you most from the behind-the-scenes? Drop your thoughts below! -CaliKim & CameraGuy
That was funny has camera guy ever drop the camera on accidentally when filming
It takes me about 10 to 20 takes to get a video out for our church garden ministry Facebook page due to dementia, so I feel your pain.
That said, thank you both for all that you do.
You, too, are so cool together! Keep him forever, Kim! You've got a gem.🥰💚💥🍅🪴
Awwww I love the last shot that hug 😊 thank you CG for so cool and great details in the videos ❤
Such a supportive hubby. 🙂 Great team!
I really liked this video. Seems like lots of planning and re-takes behind the scenes. You both make it look so flawless. 🙂
That was so interesting to watch. The end result always looks so flawless that I didn’t realize how much work and prep went into it.
You both always bring us exceptional videos and the knowledge you provide us is simple to understand, because of you both I continue to vegetable garden I enjoy it so much.😊
OK, a blooper reel is now a must…
Thank you for showing us the bloopers, hard work, and all that goes on behind the scenes that we never get to see. It should only help us to appreciate you, and any other YOUTUBERS that we watch all the more. We only know what we see and think it's easy, but don't realize all the work that goes into the final video. We so love you guys, and Max, he is not forgotten. From a dog lover in NC, we feel your pain and grief. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
🤣🤣. I knew it was like that. Lots of short shots and editing. Thank you, I'm sure I am not the only viewer that appreciates both of your hard work. Can we see videos when you yell at each other? 😂🤣.
If I make a video, I use the voiceover now 😆
Loved this so much! Guess the thing i am surprised about is that you’re recording with a phone!
I surely thought it was with a fancy camera lol.
The quality of your videos are awesome!
You guys are such a great team! We don’t see Jerry on camera, but I am always aware and amazed at how good the shooting and editing is. I love watching you guys together. I have watched from the beginning and watched the kids grow up. Thank you Jerry and Kim for teaching and inspiring us❤
Darn it, didnt get the notification?
Love seeing how the different gardening / outdoor youtubers film. thanks for sharing. Most of the time its just me. I typically film one large clip and slice and dice in post.
Wow I did not realize how much work goes into making a video. I have a better appreciation for all of the hard work the two of you go through to make a video. Thank you for giving me a better understanding of what it takes to make a good video. Would like to see more if possible. I love the hug at the end-very special❣
I noticed in the tomato video that he was holding on to you while you climbed to put the tape. You can hardly see it. But I did and thought, how beautiful that he protects you even when filming. Now here I saw I was right. Keep up the good work! ❤
Love behind the scene technical difficulties and blooper reels. Turning the camera on always helps with sound 😄 love you guys ❤
The editing comes off very natural. I never knew how much work goes into your content. Thanks for sharing with us.
You two are such a lovely couple! You seem to always treat each other with love and respect. Don't you ever get cranky, LOL?!💞
That was so fun to watch. You two are a great team!
This was fun.
Yep, it's a lot harder than it looks. And you are a team of two. It is much more difficult doing a one-man band video shoot. Thanks for showing the effort it takes. Oh, and let's not forget about the editing process.
You guys are GREAT!
