[@kingdavid6125]

I did it. congratulations on the brand collab

[@heyimadrian.4546]

I usually don't comment on videos but your videos got me feeling like I'm hanging out with a friend, so I let them play in the background while working on my creative projects. Thanks for the vibe, I guess

[@therealkhiry]

Okay, so a little after 32 minutes you get into something really personal and I just want so thank you for that because I'm an artist and I had to become a self taught audio engineer, self taught music producer while wearing so many other hats and just trying to live a "normal" life. I recently just bought a Sony a7siii because i couldn't wait on a lot of my successful videographer friends to always help me knock out music videos, and i've already edited in the past so now I know that i'm on a path to be a self taught film maker. I say all of that to say this, i've been paying attention to your channel for some time now and I want to again say thank you for the vulnerability and taking the time out to shoot the bts and for filming these personal thoughts because what you go through is what I see that sometimes hold me back! Everything I've seen you create is amazing, so now I see it is truly about just going out there and getting started on that project. My friend's dad used to tell him "Don't worry about the how, It's just gonna work itself out." & y'all are doing just that. Keep shooting! Thank you again for the insight and inspo! Keep giving us greatness brotha so we can continue to learn how to get better as well. Also s/o Creative Ryan we worked back some years ago in the city! He's a super dope individual.

[@grwmarke]

I didn't even realized this was a 40min video. Felt like it was 5 mins. We need more!

[@tvthegreek]

Let's get this bread! My man, love your vlog style and long form videos such as this, very much inspiring and a learning experience, I always hear something I need to hear. Much love bro

[@DirectorIllyRock]

I like this new direction of your videos. I’m in a transitional period rn so seeing someone I’ve been influenced by for years live their life pass music videos is a big inspiration

[@kmoethegreat]

Really enjoyed this video! Thank you for taking the time this was awesome!

[@EliInfante]

Thanks for keeping it real and giving me hope I can go full time one day man!

[@dorotheabornemann]

Deine Videos sind eine große Hilfe und Inspiration für mich... Sei es wie man einen Gimbal kallibriert oder Probleme beim Filmen hat, weil man alleine ist. Deine Inspiration steckt mich an! Danke hierfür!

[@iamking1785]

I’ve been thinking about photography and filming making for a while now. Because of you I’m definitely starting to take my camera with me more and more. Keep up the amazing work. I really appreciate it. 💪🏾✊🏾

[@Mark23Martin]

Been a sub of yours for a minute but I appreciate this vlog you let us into your world even more appreciate all your hard work!!!

[@BouchraBat]

great to know you as a human - full support- i know you since 2018; with your tutorial . so Keep going brotha, you nailed this!

[@dechangeman]

I really enjoy these calm inside videos.

[@kylephillips5913]

Here to support. Keep doing what you do, we’re watching!

[@exciyaa]

you and CR are always inspiring at the right times. Love the work and reality behind the scenes as a content creator/filmmaker. Keep doing you!

[@JayDAndre]

Lets get this bread! Always inspiring homie!

[@IAmArcee]

"Let's get this 🍞" This was a really good vlog. It's good to see a creative week laid out. The honestly was/is refreshing. Congrats on all the deals and good luck with those future ones. Looking forward to the next vlog.

[@andrewcapon4235]

You say like it's mind boggling that we watch all the way through, but for me, I get so much inspiration and education and value from watching these videos, I feel like it's me who finds it mind boggling I can get all this for free from someone as talented as you. Love what you're doing man, keep the grind up because you're killing the game. I for one really appreciate all the hard work you put in

[@Joshua-McField]

CAN'T EVEN HATE ON THE COFFEE DIP 4'S THEMS IS ICEY

[@petersarellas]

This video format js so cool. I feel like I could watch these all day

[@WereAllChefs]

Dude you have taught me a ton. Outside of the camera stuff, you have taught me to be myself. Videos are hard work and they take time but its about staying true to who you are and what you are about. Thank you.

[@Streeterphotographs]

Let's get this bread🍞 love your content, man you have single-handedly gotten me to invest so much into photography and cinematography and videography. I can't thank you enough with you along with Creative Ryan and Peter McKinnon. You three are my motivating factors to get better.

[@wbynan]

Love to hear that providing value is the most important thing. I've been in my head about building the perfect editing bay setup before I release my first long form KZbin video. But now I am realizing I just need to start with what I currently have and build from there.

[@harddriverecordingandfilmsNY]

Yeah, hope all is well

[@blasisiagiri]

Been rocking with you since 2017 - inspired me keep this videography gig going. Your videos and tutorials have been truly helpful

[@JHawk]

Loved this video bro! was a vibe

[@thekidflames]

Really appreciate your content and perspective, fam! Dope vibe, peaceful, insightful, beautiful footage, great reviews and tips. Thank you for taking the time to share and for the great work, brother! Keep bringing the heat!

[@eciruamekard4440]

14:24 The "silence and focus" of being away from the city is something that I had to get comfortable with after years of city noise.

[@liqwoodforest]

I've been keeping up with your content this year. I appreciate the way you film.

[@JQhardge]

This was awesome. Really enjoyed it.

[@_TaylorB27]

As always your insight never misses 🔥I love the vlog cinematic style you've been taking on!! I've been feeling down lately because I have so many ideas that I want to create but then I feel like I have to wait until I reach a certain level, have enough followers, or more hands to help but this was spot on mann!! "Remove limitations and just start"... Let's get this bread! 🍞

[@francoismasuabi]

Man, you speaking to the heart here man, been difficult to get fully into the swing of this, and having to do it alone, makes it hard, tiring. thanks for the tra nsparency man

[@TerryWindell]

Another great video. As to the new desk...it's always been my thought that in the video business, anything that CAN go on wheels SHOULD go on wheels. Keep jamin' bro!

[@Mohamed.Ali007]

it's a joy to see your grind process !!! Thanks from Belgium !

[@DeeTravaughn]

let’s get this bread. Dope vlog bro. Appreciate the transparency. A lot of creators are not willing to show the ups and downs.

[@rojaecrosby1554]

Let’s get this bread my G… trust me you here inspiring me here in Jamaica 🇯🇲… did my first client last week Saturday and added some of your digital assets and the client loved it… keep going

[@bestcameralens]

Let's get this bread🍞. As a R5C owner at some point I said: dang that sony bloody eye autofocus. But there's also youtubers who use like GH6s and $15 led lights and $60 voiceover microphone and get the job done(jerryrigeverything). So it depends what type of youtubers we're doing: pro or KZbin scrubs. Unfortunately Canon was always like that. Sometimes we can't have it all. I always like your style and I learned a lot from you. Last week I had my first music video and because was way too dark I had to go with my A7Sii with manual focus. It's all about finding the right balance. It must get the job done. Thank you for inspiring us. I enjoyed it!

[@jaymills1720]

R5C wow you make it look beautiful! Lovely use of the sun and garage. 👏🏼

[@ocdvfx]

longer format is sick! haven't been on ur channel in awhile but Im glad you're doing well n staying busy

[@iammikesimon]

Watched the whole video bro! As always Love what u share. Helps put in perspective how much to get involved and what it takes to do high quality filming for KZbin & more. It’s tricky cuz we’re all human and need to be in non work mode after some time to not burn out and be present with our family or friends to stay mentally and spiritually healthy.

[@sunfallfilms]

Let's get this bread! Nice video bro. The YT struggle is real and I appreciate all the hard work you put into it.

[@DocBoA]

Bro I just decided today to go back to the basics & use my distressed wall as my background. Dope content as usual!

[@michaeljones6471]

Love your stuff man. Always gets me inspired!

[@KobieMC]

Let's get this bread! Great vid! I know the struggle. I juggle a full time job as a senior IT officer, KZbin, and family life. Lately I've been feeling the burnout. So I'm doing a project series of a short film broken up in chapters. I'm pausing my usual KZbin format to just work on something completely different as a way to 'reset'. Love your format and presentation and completely resonate with this video. Yo, keep on hustling bro!

[@ciaio]

You're spot on on the clothes talk - it's better to have fewer high quality pieces than to own a bunch of garbage you don't even want to wear. I'm at a point where I've thrown out like 90% of my wardrobe and bought a bunch high quality shit I just love wearing. Life's too short to wear shit you don't like, so good on you man. One word of advice would be don't go too crazy and try to keep as little as you can. I have a strict policy of 1 piece of clothing in, one out. I rotate my wardrobe way more than I used to but at least I'm finally feeling good in my clothes. Also it's crazy how much this can do for your confidence and overall feeling.

[@CRS__KBL]

The Music, The Edit, The Story Telling. This is a beauty YC it is a beauty great vlog

[@dolipops]

Let's get this bread! Love the direction here man. Just feels more real and genuine.

[@LetsGoRCn]

AyO sLim! You and your content on your channel have impressed me since I came across it a few days ago. As a recent graduate with a BS in Digital Cinematography your content has been super creative and helpful to me as I transition from one profession to another. Salute to you and your content creator journey 🫡 and thank you for sharing your experiences with all the gear. I definitely will be purchasing a lot from your channel. ✌🏾

[@godwin_njoroge]

Let’s get this bread! This week’s started off on a low but watching this was somehow cathartic. Thank you 🙏🏾

[@stephond.photography9867]

Man I’ve been thinking of doing KZbin videos for any two years. I posted some BTS videos of photoshoots and my street photography walks but I never got into doing budget gear reviews and lighting tutorials. This video dropped right on time as motivation to get it going

[@Studio3presentz]

Thank you for helping me so much since 2018! One day it would be a pleasure to meet you bro. You’re a legend!

[@dericsanchez4081]

Tapped in for this whole video. This was a dope one. Thoroughly enjoyed it. More like these lifestyle videos.

[@EricsTechFR]

Let's get this bread ! I really enjoy your style ! 🤩 Keep going Man! 👊🏻

[@jaynumber4444]

Great video, very motivating. I also tend to let projects sit until I get that first shot and the creativity starts flowing. Let’s get this bread! 🍞

[@danwildersaidso]

You are one of my biggest inspirations, Brochacho! Keep rockin!

[@ty38]

I'm trying to make several transitions on my 3 channels but it's all growth n I'm happy but you have been motivating me more to step up the quality

[@LTProdVlogz]

I enjoyed this video bro! I like the behind the scenes vibe.. I watched the budget gear video and seeing this and the process makes it even better… you make me want to lock in on my craft

[@POW.CREEPER]

This is inspirational, I remember when you were in other people’s videos and now you half a milli, boss type ish

[@thenailauthority]

Get a portable air conditioner. Even with the door cracked, it will cool off the garage. I've had to improvise options to make sure hubby stays cool and comfortable in his spaces.

[@nickroush]

Hey bro, grew up right around where you're at in VA. Live out in Utah now. Killer work, keep it up man.

[@hugueneaufontus732]

I am loving your contents, man!

[@doingitbigent]

[@tr3jo22]

been following for a min, great to see what the day-to-day looks like!

[@Fiveandsomechange]

Very nice point of entry! Chanell is so inspirational! ❤

[@thenailauthority]

Try BYLT shirts. My husband is 5'7" and the shirts fit without being too long. Plus they haven't needed any tailoring on him. And the quality is nice

[@Blasten]

Alway love the vibe, thanks for all the value and entertainment bro - Lets gets this bread

[@ToldbyNick]

[@Joshua-McField]

This was a first in a long time where i was a video this long and didnt have it on 2x speed. Truly love your work. One of my inspirations to start youtube in the first place. And im also a r5c shooter so i know the struggles with the af sometimes 😂😂

[@KhariConception]

[@ducematnoir]

[@JustbeingKatherine]

Recently found your channel & really enjoy your storytelling, broll, and content in general!

[@BRXTNOFFICIAL]

Man, you don’t understand how much I felt you expressing the dilemma with clothes sizing. I’m literally in the same boat bro. Mediums fit perfect in width but these designers have the lengths hitting like dresses lol. Definitely about to have to start hitting the tailor.

[@kagebeast954]

i appreciate you, motivate me to get back to recording and help me find the gear to do so

[@lawalfootage]

Don't comment too much on KZbin video's, but wanted to say I enjoy your video's - your honesty is refreshing. Keep up the great content👍🏽

[@Digitallifeconcepts]

Let's get this bread. Keep up the dope work. Your hard work is appreciated.

[@OutdoorAdventureTV]

A handsome young man you have right there! 😊 Making lifelong memories for him.

[@heisnairadriz6746]

You're an inspiration, man. Keep creating 🔥

[@m00dzilla]

I should be sleeping but I watched the whole thing now. Worth it though! I always learn a lot from your videos.

[@jayfortherecord]

Respect for getting all those shots while getting bts in the garage. I learned that there are no shortcuts.

[@FRITHIMAGE]

Kids maaaan, 😂. I have two girls while trying to create. Congratulations on the brand deal win bro. Your an inspiration 👍🏾🙏🏾 (All the way from the Uk, I watch and support every video)

[@Yoonisphere]

Love seeing these kinda vids, keeps me pushing ngl.

[@MichaelTendayiChikamhi]

Let's get this bread🍞! Fr man this has been inspiring on so many levels. Appreciate the fashion tips cause lord knows I need some 😅

[@SamFigueroa]

As someone who also has kids, I'll say don't be hard on yourself for not having stuff done around the house at a time where you through it might have happened. Just means you needed to deal with other stuff and it rightfully didn't take priority.

[@khouston0621]

Let's get this bread🍞, always gotta watch the whole thang dawg🙏🏿

[@thebeaconnetwork]

"Let's get this bread"...Enjoying your work. Take care.
