Filmmaking how-tos are nothing new to YouTube. As filmmakers, we can\u2019t get enough of them. In fact, we\u00a0need<\/em>\u00a0them. You could argue that these DIY self-taught how-to channels are the secret sauce for this up-and-coming generation of filmmakers – the backbone of our success.<\/p>\n
