I like this bro! I currently have a sony a6400 but might get a second one as my main full frame. You’re very inspiring, make me want to go out and shoot. Jesus is King

[@Brayder604]

I loved this video until the capcut ad, I get it for the real newbs, but davinci is free and people will benefit from learning a full program, learning capcut just pigeonholes them in to using dumbed-down apps, great video though, left a subscribe, like, and now a comment ;)

[@SamFigueroa]

Wasn't too long tho. Lots of good tips. Thanks

[@Leada1ne]

🙋🏾‍♂️ yep... all the way to the end💯🫡

[@ThatAutisticBlackMan]

agreed lol ill come back later when I have time to watch and enjoy

[@jackywacky4361]

Being a KZbinr is very similar to running your own business. You should upload things people want to see, just like businessman should offer product/service that people need. And when the growth becomes real, you can consider hiring people to help you run your channel more efficiently. The most difficult part is starting and growing of course, but consistency and hard work (with a little bit of help from Fame - ster of course) will always pay off at the end.

[@MrsHayes2014]

Well said😉

[@MrsHayes2014]

Truth

[@drwhitlock]

Good afternoon. Thank you for suck encouragemebt. And I appreciate what you are saying so much. I have the desire, passion, and drive, and I believe I can do this. For me, right now I'm feeling like where or who do I turn to for help. Trying to properly connect my audio-video equipment and input proper settings so this process works continues to be my roadblock. I am a praying that someone will take the time to help me put this together.

[@mc.towelie]

the hardest thing for me is to talk freely to the camera, you're doing a good job sticking to the point without rambling.

[@YCImaging]

Scripting! I’m also terrible at talking to the camera lmao. At the end of the video I talked about how that take took me like 6 tries

[@TheModernFilmmaker]

Try to cut out the rambling in the edit and keep things moving. Over time as you hear yourself condensed down, you will actually start to replicate that in real life. It's similar to how it helps a shooter to edit their own footage in the beginning because in the process they learn how NOT to shoot. They will start shooting a lot less useless footage and the overall quality of shots will rise... Keep on the journey 👊✌️

[@Mr-Kellzz]

i share this feeling too bro...!!!

[@dir-gk]

@@TheModernFilmmaker spitting facts mr. modern filmmaker.

[@jeremyscloset]

Yeah man. I thought I stuck to the point recently but now I'm editing and I am not happy with my little wandering thoughts coming out. I gotta try to script so I can make all of the points I want to make known. Nothing like saying some good stuff and then adding something I just thought abiut..... explaining it. And then forgetting g a crucial point and there isn't roo. To insert it..... unless.... I delete the part and make a new one

Good morning. About three weeks ago I restarted my KZbin journey with a serious goal that I'm working hard towards. And during this time I've seen many videos showing you how to go from “0 to 1000 Subscribers in 30 days” but none of those videos stood out to me as much as yours. Your sincerity and your ability to relate to your audience is refreshing. Just last night I was inspired to start formulating videos charting my journey from a “realistic” perspective and then I woke up and saw this video which is a sign that I'm on the right path. And finally, you may not realize it now but in making this video you did not give your audience just another “How To” video, you gave us an experience and THAT is the ingredient of a GREAT content creator. I pray the best of God's blessing for you my VA neighbor. 🙏🏼✨

[@WILLFRANCA1]

Bro. I don’t know if you are going to read this. But as a content creator I know how much work you had with this video. Specially because of the variety of angles and takes. Congratulations, just the video itself is a piece of art.

[@JasminePrempeh]

Finally started my channel a couple weeks ago, 2 videos out so far.. and started doubting myself.. of course I know it’s not going to happen overnight but there is this voice that has creeped in telling me “why would anyone care to watch your video” BUT this video has helped, just gotta enjoy the journey and see what happen! Good luck to all you New KZbinrssss!! 🤞🏾

[@joyoffinance]

I'll go watch your video. I just started, not produced a long form yet, just planning those but I've done some shorts

[@ConsciousCAS]

Watching your views go from 4 to 100+ in 3 minutes as I listen… I’m happy for you 🍂

[@YCImaging]

I appreciate you!

[@NumbuhSixx]

“This is not a catapult scheme to the top” the reason why I still watch your videos. The advice is realistic, no dreams sold.

[@gastronomee_]

new channel here - just started two months ago - and this world is a beast. so grateful that channels and videos like this exist - thank you so much!

[@TheSunCrown]

Congrats man so close to 1k

What’s up DMV fam. I’m an old head and looking to start creating content. You were right about getting out of your own head. I appreciate you saying find relevant topics and then allowing your personality to show through.

[@kassieduggan]

I love how authentic you are - it’s really refreshing! Great advice too 🙌🏼

[@ThoughtfulAl]

I made it to the end. I love how you were able to give back so much insight and wisdom about YT (2024). I have been stuck for a month and this video has given me a lot of clarity about how to get moving again. Thank you! If you ever visit NZ I am in Christchurch and I can show you around.

[@andryisrl]

🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 Love the fence shots. Also the frame with a tree as a focal point and captions on top was dope! Thank you for the inspiration!

[@jon112media]

🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 but actually all the way to the end. I'm always down to listen to ya man. thanks for the vid!

[@dericsanchez4081]

Been loving these longer form videos you been doing. Keeping me locked in the entire time.

[@melaniee.03]

love your video! being a very small creator myself, i get the pain of being in a small town not having pretty cityscapes to film but watching how you got around that in the video and seeing the effort and love you put in them really inspired me! absolutely love your work, keep doing good!

[@GuilDormeus]

Super simple and to the point. Been a fan for you for years and you never disappoint 🔥

[@ag9973]

🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 your content helps me so much… I’m in VA too and just got frustrated with a project because of the environment. I’ll make it work 👌🏾

🙏🙏🙏 Man, I always appreciate your honesty, authenticity, and perspective. I've learned so much from you just watching over the years. I'm always inspired by one of your videos! Thank you.

[@YCImaging]

I appreciate you!

[@danielarixi]

Champion! I made it to the end! Thank you so much. Keep up the great work. You just made filming so much understanding. I am filming first video for my other KZbin channel this week. Your advise is Godsend. And will be 90% useful. Thank you again.

[@NoahCBanks]

🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 been loving this new style of your videos lately. Straight 🔥 brotha

[@TheSimplyLivingFamily]

The FIRST 37min video I've watched all the way through. Absolutely class. 🙏🙏🙏 Your advice about trimming out your personality is my biggest take away that I've been guilty of, so thank you!

[@Behnam_Moghaddam]

isn't it all about perspectives? love the appetite you hunt perspectives and extra angles with thank you for sharing yet another set of perspectives you caught this time around🙏🙏🙏

[@chrisanalove]

"We made it this far!", Great video, been enjoying your videos and clips. My husband and I are active duty military and we just wanted peace and enjoy the way you film and your setup/explanations. We are just using a GoPro 7 for our filming and are inspired to eventually get to your level of gear someday. Keep up the great work.

[@CichlidCharmer]

I feel like I could watch you talk about anything. Your videos are outstanding!

[@ramonedixon]

Great advice. I appreciate seeing you on the platform bro. I’m loving the raw authenticity throughout. Keep up the incredible work 👊🏾

[@consciousconversationswcobee]

Yuh yuh yuh! Okay I like this. Finally a video w/ substance worth watching about the importance of putting in the work! Yessir!

[@LouisHalleyd2nd]

3 mins in and I keep thinking this style of you outside kinda leading us into shots with movement is so fire! Appreciate the time you put into these🙏🏽

[@nomiddlenameeither]

You totally popped up randomly in my feed and i'm glad. A whole new KZbinr I've never seen. You're style is awesome my guy. Subbed

[@machesky9]

Dude, I am loving the longer form content. I know it takes a lot of work and effort, so I appreciate it.

[@Jenniesvisualdiary]

Filming locations 🔥, angles Dopee. Love everything about this video

[@DetroitNinja]

I started uploading short videos consistently in summer 2021. I think my channel is at 79k subs because I didn't copy any other channels but were inspired by them and I put my own spin on it. I scoured KZbin for other KZbinrs in Detroit and in my niche and there might be just one other channel doing something similar to mine but my channel is unique. It's never too late to start a KZbin channel in 2024 but it's more saturated than ever and getting your channel to grow is getting more difficult.

[@jshfortune]

🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 really appreciate your journey thus far fam and you allowing us in. You are very necessary ✊🏾💯

[@T1DCooley]

Needed this video man. Definitely appreciate your perspective I’ve been having a hard time getting off the ground.

[@blackcircus222]

Made it! Such good advice and inspiration for starting back up my channel.

[@ryanshepard8625]

First, why is he wearing a winter jacket and shorts? 😂 All jokes aside, this video randomly popped up on my KZbin feed and it's exactly what I needed. I'm a music and sports journalist whose best skill is writing, but all of these media companies (i.e. Pitchfork, Complex, Okayplayer, etc.) are going through major writer layoffs and pivoting to video/social media content. It's not my strength, but I've been trying to buy a camera, get some equipment and pivot my writing into social media. However, I don't want to sound or look like everyone else that's established. I say all of that to say this video was really helpful in giving me the confidence to just try stuff and get going.

[@KyInRealLife]

First time watching a video of yours & I love it here. I am going to be binging all of your videos for some inspiration. Definitely felt you on trying to make the gym a priority and being in good health is more important than the content. So shoutout to you on that reminder.

[@PhilOlson]

Watched to the very end! Great, inspiring video. Found myself smiling with you, subscribed.

[@triumph_cv]

I really appreciate the time you put into these vids and especially the BTS breakdowns. You are also a superb presenter. Bro keep the train rolling!

[@IsomPhilips]

Stayed till the end. Always good content and your method of showing behind the scenes while dropping knowledge makes it highly watchable as well as inspirational and informative. Thanks for all you do!

[@Shedlyhikey]

man I'm really inspired to watch this guys videos. He literally uses the world as his playground. He has an eye for everything and it wouldn't be bad if I tried to emulate that. it gives me a certain hope to start creating content.

[@javierpinon9443]

just found your channel and man i love the way you put your videos together. inspiring stuff

[@RS5Nola]

Man!!!! You don't know how much I needed this video....I hate being in front of the camera but I have been sacrificing it for the sake of making videos. I'm actually more interested in film making than KZbin creating but this is giving me the opportunity to practice what I'm learning from all my favorite film makers.

[@Dez3n]

yo g good shit,enjoyed the perspective your right about of alot of things bro been watching yours for a while and just going to get back into it for the documentation aspect of it swell as keep me motivated

[@pppaz]

🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 It's great getting to see your process and hearing real talk about what life making content on KZbin is really like.

[@thedanielaros]

Love the simple shots you framed for this one. I hear you on the struggle filming during the day. I recently had a film planned and I was supposed to film in a dry park, then it snowed and I had to replan the shots. On top of that the snow only last a couple of days so I had to get creative with the shots and story. Big lesson I learned was to be flexible, creative, and just run with it. Thanks for the BTS and keep chasing up that hill for the lighting 😊

[@annacourter5744]
