Will the Next Scorsese shoot with an iPhone? | Ft. Ryan Ng

[@RyanNgFilms]

It was such an honor to do this! Thanks Jack and the Digital Spaghetti team for letting me share my perspective on the creator industry 😄

[@We.Corrupted01]

New video when??

[@KatesGarden]

Did your mom like this video you were talking though?

[@AndreSjoberg]

Thank *you* for creating some good movies, keep up the great work :)

[@JackConteExtras]

Ryan!! Such a joy having you on the show and getting to know you a bit. Thank you for opening up your process and mind and giving us a glimpse. TRULY BEAUTIFUL!

[@sumantamunda6071]

Hey Can I also call myself "A new wave creator?"

[@HexAmberway]

Hey, I'm a huge RYAN NG fan! His voice speaks volumes in our creator community. It takes real courage to share the ups and downs of his journey, but he does it with such authenticity. You know, a lot of us creators face tough times that make us want to throw in the towel. Some even have to give up on their dreams altogether, while others get stuck in a spiral of doubt and fear. But not Ryan. He's a shining example of perseverance. His talent might not always get the spotlight it deserves, but he never gives up. Instead, he keeps creating and inspiring the rest of us to do the same. I’ve seen his ups and downs and everytime i see him I just know I’m watching a rising star. And when that day comes.. i’ll be crying in joy. love you Ry. -Hex from Philippines.

[@luisfilms]

23:41 the last minute is probably the best advice for any creative

[@ZackarySmigel]

Agreed!

[@adrianwick5294]

This view of the rawest version of a youtuber is inspiring to not give a f*ck and just make it how you want it.

[@adriandharry4364]

Having been able to meet Ryan this past week and see how his vibe is, watching how he handles his camera and how he think about what hes doing next on top of him being one of the nicest people ive ever met, this guy deserves WAYYYYYYYYYYY more praise than he currently has but, hes getting there. Im totally here for this.

[@GregMcCahon]

I love how much you love KZbin. These videos are made out of pure passion for creators and the space, and it is so energising to watch. Thanks for making these Jack!

[@CozyFae.]

What I love about these videos is not just the educational aspect and all the information we get, but watching the creators melt under a flood of compliments and recognition for their hard work. ☺️💖

[@OmniTierra]

I’m a 53yr old fellow riding his bike around the world with his dog. Yes I put some of that on KZbin. What a gift this was to have Jack help Ryan break down his film and approach to KZbin. The biggest KZbinr says the algorithm is the audience, but I don’t think he’s right and I think Ryan and Jack prove that here. Thank you.

[@andrewharris6347]

KZbin is changing for the better with people like this making their movies for themselves and for us to vicariously enjoy … we get included in their ride and it’s so awesome

[@ZackarySmigel]

Great video, Jack and Ryan! I loved Ryan's reflections on staying rooted with your hometown friends. It's refreshing to hear perspectives outside the typical scenes of LA or NY. While those cities may be the ultimate aspiration for many creators, leveraging your local knowledge can often lead to richer storytelling. Being intimately familiar with your own area enables you to authentically capture its essence and frame narratives more effectively. At least that's what I've come to learn on my creator journey!

[@EposVox]

I love that there's a "movement" to just... do what most of us had to do for the majority of the time KZbin has been around. Generational divides are so weird to watch unfold.

[@ded-rocinteractive8536]

Yeah, this “movement” is great as you say but this cheesy, ott analysis like it’s all groundbreaking irks me. Emily Diana Ruth and others of earlier eras of KZbin were presenting their videos in almost the exact same ways.

[@melanybahl]

Thank you for this. This is an everyday struggle for me as a creator and seeing breakdown videos like this is really helping me to stay focused on my goals, values and essence.

[@JamesGWall]

What thoughtful young man. I'm 37yo and been a professional filmmaker for 10-15 years and I think it's so important to look at what the new generation are doing. Learning goes both ways. Also, numbers aren't everything, and big numbers don't mean something is good. If that was the case the Transformer films would win the Oscar for best film. Social media can be a great tool, but it's also easy to get swallowed up with what it wants to be fed. Be Careful what you consume and stay true to your own vision.

[@8SnazzY8]

Damn this new wave really inspires me to make some film without worrying about views and revenue

[@seanmartinflix]

@RyanNgFilms is such a inspiration. Not in the fact that I want to make videos like him but in the fact that I have found that particular video and I was pretty low that made me not want to give up. I've watched it I think four times now since it came out along with some of his other videos. So good.

[@sarge7948175]

Just watched the Beau Miles interview, now watching this. Where Ryan scripts everything meticulously before hand, Beau does it all on the fly and finds the story in the edit to some extent. I just thought it was interesting how two creators with polar opposite processes can both arrive at great videos. I think in both of their cases the story is at the center, and that's what matters!

[@nsmithcine]

Wasn't shocked at all the learn he's inspired by Burnham's "Inside." it truly felt like a transitional point, "cinematic" content creation.

[@johnhuman3217]

My concern is that expressing this sentiment that YT is ready for its Scorsese is being substituted for actually trying to be YT’s Scorsese. Ryan’s videos are beautifully shot, but the substance has felt pretty repetitive and pedestrian for a while. Yes, we agree that spectacle content is tired. We want substance. We want stories. But just parroting “stories are good” without actually delivering the stories? I get that Casey made a career TELLING us that he was telling stories, but I think we’re ready for the actual stories now.

[@linusorri]

They should go through every video of his like this. Call it a Masterclass.

[@ranplan]

Only 5min in. This guy is my hero. I’m gonna watch this one a few times to really absorb it then dig into his videos then I’m gonna go create my own shit and be proud of it. This is still one of my favorite channels. Thanks Jack!

[@ritchiart]

I really love these breakdowns! Feels like we're finally uncovering different ways to make art

[@JesseNyberg]

Another amazing episode Jack! Had the opportunity to go to creator camp recently and the whole team + new wave of creators is endlessly inspiring.

[@AlbanMartins]

The most inspiring lecture I've seen yet on the present context of creation on the Internet. We're only in the right here! Thanks for sharing, guys.

[@maliktheweirdo]

As a fellow iPhone shooter, I must say this inspired me. I've been so blocked and discouraged by the quality of my videos, that I've stopped to reconsider the type of content I want to produce. But, this shows me that I can make films with my janky iPhone 8 (lol). Thank You, Digital Spaghetti, and Thank You Ryan for this wonderful deep-dive. I'm truly inspired and encouraged 🙏🏽

[@creator_yo]

Yes! Thank you for picking him! He’s my favorite guy on the platform.

[@YusefSanei]

I LOVE this, I hadn't heard of the New Wave up until now and I am so glad that it is a thing, It is something I have moved towards in my rejection of the ulta-edited click bait content using psychological manipulation to do it. It's messed up. I fell into the trap of externalising my creativity to try and get views by following the cookie cutter moulds, which felt really unfulfilling. Deciding to reject that and start making content that i just want to make feels really aligned. Thanks for this!!

[@TwoWrights]

This has totally inspired me. I've had a massive creative confidence block for a few years. I just lost all confidence in my creative choices and that part of me has atrophied a bit. This has sparked something in me. Thank you Ryan and Jack.

[@tonytaox]

Awesome story, awesome work, we need more videos for the humanity

[@janieisbored]

That whole segment about “show and tell” where he does voiceover for one thing but shows footage of something else. I really like that bc I feel like videos can have a children’s storybook vibe if you have to show everything you’re talking about. Sometimes it’s better to capture the feeling of something instead of talking about something sad and then getting B roll of you being sad.

[@insightsofady]

Jack bro please bring justin Shen he's exceptionally talented and has posted a video titled: "500 days of chasing my dream" and it feels like a blessing to watch... His stylistic approach is very new and fresh. He is also part of the KZbin new wave and the creator camp that Ryan was talking about

[@onkelearn]

Ryan you're killing it, stay humble and stay a dreamer, you'll have such a fun journey - i think we're all certain of that!

[@developingtank]

I was under the impression that this channel had 10x more subs. The last few videos have been great and I'm sure it will 10x soon. I'm jealous of the younger creators and their creator camps. It seems like so much fun!

[@DeconTheMonkey]

This is so inspiring! It gives me the courage to “do different.” Especially on the part where Ryan talks about the camera that fell in water and just became the right tool.

[@andrespineiroc]

Wao, this channel is what KZbin needs. Thanks!!!!

[@JAdeWii_]

I'm so burned out from YT as a creator, this is refreshing. Thank you!

[@SONWU]

Very interesting to hear more about the choices for certain shots and improv techniques. Well done!

[@WilL_î_î]

2:26 Hey, sorry to be that guy but I noticed a tiny issue in that it says inside came out in 2013 but it actually came out 30 May 2021! Sorry and thanks!

[@halfsliceoflife]

This was a really inspiring ep to be honest. As a creator that's what I want to strive for. I want to make stuff for myself, my way. I love Ryan and his channel.

[@CGingerbreadman]

I subbed to Ryan right after his $1000 iPhone commercial. Dude’s crazy good

[@KristofferLislegaard]

17:58 ironically I almost didn't watch THIS video because I thought it was one of those videos reviewing prores on iPhone videos because of the title and thumbnail.

[@travelvideopro]

Such an inspiration! Thanks to you, Jack and team for these deep dive interviews.

[@S41L0R]

i love this channel so much, thank you. whenever one of these comes out im just a little bit happier. its just so cool that you interview creators abt this stuff. it shows more of the story, its not just the final product, its the thinking and personal philosophies behind it. it makes the content mean so much more

[@Smollie1]

This ruled. What a humble special guy

[@Dglinski2]

Jack Conte should be the next CEO of KZbin

[@CHRISTOPH-B]

Great, great, great video!!! Immediately subscribed to his channel. This is so important: Just make art and make your thing. This is what art is all about and nowadays we more and more forget about it. … I think Jack Conte is a very important person , concerning this. He really is an art patron. ✌🏻✌🏻✌🏻

[@TheologyMade]

So well done. Appreciate this.

[@Dan-Dman]

12:38 He says, "It's just intuition, I guess." Natalie Lynn said the same thing in her interview!

[@AllenRReid]

Your breakdowns are tremendous. Always insightful.

[@priazol]

I love these videos so much, thank you for interviewing amazing and talented people like RyanNg :)

[@imKeshav]

A few months ago, a friend of mine asked me about my decision of entering into the world of filmmaking, she said "Oh, then you're planning to go to the Bollywood I guess?" ('coz I'm from India and Bollywood is the first thing that comes onto the tongue of an Indian whenever the word "film" or "movie" is mentioned in front of them), so as my response, it was a No. "So, Hollywood?", she asked, but still I said "Nope". She got confused 'coz she didn't knew what else exists besides Hollywood or Bollywood for filmmakers, so she asked me the same and I replied, "it is something new, something the world has yet to find and copy" I knew what I was talking about but didn't had a name/term to call it, but now I know, it's the New Wave baby ! It's a familiar term to me 'coz I listen to the Synth Wave, Retro Wave & New Wave genre all the time but never did I knew/thought about using the term "New Wave" for filmmaking! And although I'm gonna use this term for my style of videos in the future, I'm kinda different from these OG New Wave KZbinrs, 'coz I'm a gearhead who loves to complicate things and cry about it later, just can't help myself from going nerdy about everything I guess

[@binsandbirds]

Thanks so much! Very inspiring and something I needed to hear. - Ben

[@HiImNathan]

Amazing and inspiring video. New creators like me have needed content like this for a long time, showing us that our ideas and vision matter. Thank you!

[@rondelfilms]

Totally agree with what Ryan said regarding having to make one type of video on youtube now. It seems like you have to have a strict niche to be successful which is the opposite of why some people actually make videos for. We are humans, we do not have one singular interest, why are we being forced to make the same type of videos over and over. I might as well stay in my 9-5 forever if I want to do the same thing over and over and over.

[@thenikhilprakash]

So gratefull that I stumbled upon this channel. Learning so much.

[@BenjaminJaksch]

Great conversation- I really love these video deep dives. And it’s true - that thumbnail and title struggle is such a pain. Imagine if there was a way that you get videos presented in the way they mean to someone instead of a clickbaity title. So I can see what the video „does“ to someone I care about and then think about whether I want to feel the same way. I hope this makes sense 😅

[@srushtilande]

Somehow this channel is much like a therapy to me these days.

[@jk-fy8on]

I love him. Thanks for the great interview!

[@harshvardhansingh2204]

both of y'all are *underated* af,.... its honestly irritating Love from India btw❤

[@simonfeilder]

Love these breakdowns. Have we already covered the pilot headsets because I have questions 🙏

[@akiffpremjee]

Love these so much! Waiting for you to get Kariza on!

[@elmarron5296]

More watch time means the audience is more engaged with the content (not necessarily creative content) , and that to KZbin means more ads slots and longer audience exposure .

[@baxthered]

Jack Conte; he's everywhere.

[@wherescalebshaw]

ugh this man speaks my language what a legend

[@JapanJacques]

Bo Burnham’s inside was released in 2021, not 2013!

[@OmegaSlice108]

This channel is amazing. Thank you

Such a beautiful soul this guy! Good luck, Ryan! Subscribed ;)

[@jionhills]

#newwave Ryan on that Mount Rushmore for sure

[@nativestrong7253]

You know what, the quality is there, but you need a company to step up and start allowing DOF lenses similar to what MOMENT lenses make at the moment. They need to be high quality and have breathing checked.

[@codythep]

No ones gonna call out Inside is DEFINITELY not from 2013? Its literally about the pandemic 😷

[@tayzatz9014]

2:10 best face of Ryan !

[@kausthita11]

Does anyone know what music is it in the background of this clip?

[@hasmieu4]

I make videos (at least for myself😅), I value the video quality, but not as much as I value the audio quality. Shoot on my iPhone 14pro (cinematic mode is great by the way), but the audio? I invested in a shotgun mic which I connect to my iPad and record the audio in a DAW (mix and master the audio there) and later sync with the video in post production. The moment I finish exporting the final edit of the video, all the fun is gone until I start researching and scripting for my next video. Side note: even if your audience is just you, or few people (like 10 subs), serve them well and keep improving your skills

[@icyjaam]

Sharing interview bro. Turns out i had watched good 3 year old iphone video and decided to sub to him then.

[@yourlocalusername392]

Ryan's a G🔥

[@1938superman]

23:19 It's the choice everyone has to make at some point in life. Are you going to run yourself into the ground going after what everyone else has told you you're supposed to want? Or are you going to go after what actually makes you happy? Whatever the results. In the end, your authentic voice is the only thing you have that no one else does, and it is the only thing that with ever make you feel creatively free.

[@walterskent]

“You don’t need a $3,000 cinema camera. Just use your phone.” …which costs almost $1,000 ….and a $2,000 laptop …and several hundred dollars in video editing software. It’s a good approach, but be aware that none of this is cheap.

[@RudeCanine]

That’s my problem with these types of creators. They’re all idealists selling you a dream so that you can become like them: struggling artists with nothing to say

[@AndreSjoberg]

Considering you might need a 3-4000 or even pricier laptop to edit cinemacamera footage, not to mention extra storage and sicko lenses, and not forgetting that davinci resolve is free with over 90% of the features included, and the fact that *most* people have a more than capable enough phone that is considerably cheaper than a dedicated camera, the option of creating video, if one wants to, is available to *most* people. Up until 6 months ago I created content on an iphone x, edited in the free capcut app, and I still use it as a secondary camera. So nope, you don’t need a 1000 phone, don’t need a 2000 computer and you don’t need several hundreds of dollars in video editing software. Of course on has to have good ideas to make good videos, regardless of gear, but the gear is no longer an obstacle to make videos - and some of those videos might actually bee good, if the creator has anything substantial to say.

[@SaintElvardielSHMD]

Yes. Both devices are multi functional. Perhaps you already have it. If you have a cheaper phone and computer, then perhaps the video files are less expansive and will be less demanding to edit on a weaker computer. Or you can get by just doing your edits on the phone with free software like CapCut. It´s not a $1000 expense like you make it out to be. Chances are the person already owns a device or can get one second hand. If you don´t shoot 4K you don´t need all the horsepower. People can get by and make beautiful stuff by using what they have. Even if it´s an old tape recorder it can be modified to record to an SD card. Also if you buy a $2000 laptop for video creation I assume it might be a Macbook. These machines come preloaded with advanced software that can get you going for a long time with audio and video production. So if you already own a mac, you have iMovie and Garageband. There is really no excuse. You can create if you really want to. It´s fun to make the best out of what you got. A true artist can use any paint brush.

[@HexAmberway]

He emphasized the simplicity of using any phone available, regardless of its price, since most people carry one. Also, today's phones come with free video editing software. Zzzz.

[@lakobesmith6289]

you can buy a vintage digital camera w/ stand & a mobile light for 100-150 & make content that can not only reach masses but create meaningful and interesting work

[@AndreSjoberg]

Loving these videos with different creators and deep diving into their minds, but there is one aspect of the the whole "KZbin is Evil for forcing me to write titles and make thumbnails for my videos" thing I don't get: What is the alternative? The titles and thumbnails are there for people to see and make a decision on. Other than actually watching a video to know what it's about, how else should KZbin present these videos to people? How would I, as a user, discover these videos? Scrolling through a daily list of releases, guessing what each video is or if I want to watch it? The algorithm, for me, works, in the way that it suggested Digital Spaghetti at some point, and it has suggested Ryan Ng's channel/videos as well. I never do get anything Mr. Beast-related on my home feed though, never. Everything is based on my interests, both current and past, videos based on themes or niches or subjects I have been interested in or looked at at some point. And once that happens the only step left for me is looking at a thumbnail and a title, and deciding if I feel like watching or not. They are an integral part of a video, an extension of the "art" inside the video - of course they are hard to write, of course a good thumbnail is hard to make sometimes, they need to sell me the idea and value of the video. There is no ways around it, because there are no alternatives other than what has always been there, like "Movie Trailers", websites writing about movies, a suggestion from a friend, a random discovery - all these classic ways of discovering new art, new music, new artists, new creators. The alternative, randomly dropping video suggestions to users who historically haven't watched the type of content Ryan makes is a *double edged sword* to say the least, cause it would also mean that I and others would have a home feed full of Mr. Beast type videos, tractor pulling contests and "the earth is flat"-videos ... So I don't get the "KZbin is evil"-thingy at all, KZbin tries to connect the "right content with the right people" (sometimes failing, but often getting it right) and then it's up to the creator to make their content "sell" - and that includes making a title and a picture to sell the movie - the alternative being putting the video in a box somewhere and hope that somebody discovers the box and tells all their friends about it - or going back to the "classical route" of finding a distributor to do the marketing (which would, guess what, include a trailer, and a title, and maybe a synopsis) and getting a reviewer to write about it in a newspaper ... all options that are *way* worse than KZbin. The numbers, the analytics, the tools for measuring views and engagement are just that, tools. Hitting oneself in the head with a hammer is not the hammers fault. Calling KZbin evil for providing those tools is like blaming the hammer for your headache. KZbin demanding followers and watch hours for admission to making money from the ads is a necessity, how else would it work, based on artistic merrit? That's a can of worms nobody wants to deal with. And of course making artfull, contemplative videos will make it take longer to build a following and meet those demands, because the world in general prefer wrestling as entertainment over philosophical debates. But that's not KZbins fault, they just dump whatever matches the users in front of the users, because there are no alternatives other than a "taste police", which nobody wants. Now there are plenty of wrongs with KZbin, but the whole "KZbin is evil"-thing is something I just don't get, other than a generic catch all of "all that is wrong, but I haven't figured out what it is, so I'm just gonna complain about something that everybody else is complaining about". What I *WOULD* love to see though, is a well thought through movie from Ryan about what *exactly* is wrong about KZbin, on a deeper level, and what is causing creators to feel that KZbin is against them, or the algorithm for that matter - exactly *what* is it about access to the analytics that cause them to want to give up, causes the feeling of "working against something" - that would be very interesting to watch :)

[@evansecretchannel]

I’ve saved your comment, this was incredibly insightful and provided me with a great POV I love Ryan Ng but I also agree with your thoughts - ultimately there’s lots of creators who care about packaging like Gawx, Colt Kirwan, Natalie Lynn, and Life of Kariza who don’t MrBeastify their content but because they care about titles and thumbnails they experience moderate success and can make a living impacting other ❤

[@AndreSjoberg]

@@evansecretchannel Thanks for reading :) It’s a minor thing in the grand scheme of things though, but complaining about an issue that is partially self inflicted is one of the least constructive ways of changing a system - it’s like in the record business, back in the days you had to be discovered, signed, record company paid for the recording and took most of the money - then comes the internet, everybody can self publish, but suddenly discover that doing all the jobs themselves is hard, recording, promoting, booking gigs, marketing, uploading - and then discovering that since now «everybody» can self publish suddenly they have to compete with hundreds of thousands or millions of other self publishing artists, way more artists in total than with the old system, so of course there is less money to go around to everybody ;)
