Cinematic & b-roll
Mc Kinnon Craft — B-roll & cinematic craft coach
McKinnonCraft is the coach in the corner while you cut. It celebrates what already works, then gets specific about the insert shot, the match cut or the sound design that would make the piece feel expensive.
Adding an agent takes you to Eddie. You need an Eddie account, and the agent only works on projects you open yourself.

What Mc Kinnon Craft does
- 01
Coaches your footage the way Peter McKinnon shoots his — trained on his most-watched b-roll, transition and cinematography tutorials
- 02
In-camera transitions, shoot-to-edit planning, lighting and sound design that make footage feel expensive
- 03
Reviews your edit shot by shot and tells you the one change that levels it up
The method
Good story wins, always. Lighting before gear, motion in every b-roll shot, details in the inserts, sound design as the secret weapon — and never cake effects onto footage that should have been shot right.
Who it's for
Videographers, vloggers and filmmakers who want their b-roll and transitions to feel cinematic — with a hyped, generous coach in the corner.
What it knows
McKinnonCraft carries one skill: a body of craft knowledge it loads when the task calls for it, rather than carrying it in every reply.
Peter McKinnon — b-roll & video craft
Apply this skill when crafting engaging video narratives, especially those relying on B-roll, cinematic aesthetics, and efficient post-production, to enhance storytelling and viewer immersion.
