Thanks for having me! 🎉🙌🏼

[@meghanadontireddy6002]

You're an inspiring filmmaker for thousands of people, Kariza. Can't wait to see more from you ❤

[@yourmomsfavoritereview]

I'll echo what Meghan said...Love your work and please know that you are absolutely inspiring our minds to look at things a little differently....very creative, very cool...thank you Riza!

[@tinatana3778]

You inspire us girl🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

You're the Queen of romanticizing your life! Always enjoy your vlogs.

[@ila9063]

the reason Kariza stands out is because she's not a vlogger/KZbinr, she's a filmmaker that uses KZbin to broadcast her work

[@gorgeousunicorn6251]

this! Her whole conversation are all filmmaking foundations. Not gonna take away she's amazing. But if you're a filmmaker - it's the basics of filmmaking.

[@Ekumesvlogs]

Just realized that she is no usual vlogger but very technical like a pro film maker and i feel so stupid watching this vid.. But in a good way.. I thought camera is just a camera and all same,but talkingabout the lenses only already confusing. 😂😂😂😂 Now i have some ideas how to produce a little bit engaging vlog compared to the one i have now 🫡

[@meghanadontireddy6002]

Yup, she is a freelance filmmaker and lucky to have found an audience that appreciates her expertise and creativity. However, her style is unique and her storytelling is exceptional, and that's what makes her stand out from other filmmakers!

[@maiwurld2578]

True

[@GorillaHandsGarage]

The same reason everyone dug Casey and Peter.

[@temuerasamuel]

Imagine getting all of this insight FOR FREE.. what a time to be alive..

[@xiwang6432]

Absolutely! The information Riza shared is impressively valuable.

[@ChrisFloyd]

Yep! Good stuff! Nice attitude. I like you!

[@zakandfal]

I am leaving this comment here so that after some hours, days, months or years when someone likes or comments on it, I will be reminded to watch this video again. Great Video!

[@T3GMedia]

Two months. Get to watching.

[@lifeofaruiii]

Me too 😊

[@smokingkippers1173]

It's time

[@emanuele.gualandri]

Life of Riza has been such a breath of fresh air on KZbin

[@mbali.mzunga]

So true.❤

[@itsalexclark]

concurred

[@handlemonium]

She almost looks like a more mellow and less crass Pokimane in the Thumbnail.

[@Mitochondriathepowerhouse]

True ❣️

[@nanaakuaafriyie1]

For real

[@ColtKirwan]

OMG KARIZA IM YOUR BIGGEST FANNNNNNNN ❤

[@legygax]

Don’t get too excited man. She has a partner already.

[@tomsaycheez]

Bro she has a partner, and he's a really dope KZbinr!! His name is...wait its you!!!!😂

[@antonsemenyura5337]

People commenting she has a partner...under her partner comment lol 🤣🤣🤣

[@alghaniy752]

He’s literally the luckiest fan

[@francis_n]

The sex must be 🔥🔥🔥

[@ZhenYaoYin]

Photoshopping the labels is such a genius move that shows just how much thought and care Riza puts into her vlogs... What an inspiration!

[@TheADHDM]

Dude you are bringing in some of the most authentic, talented, sincere KZbin creators, and your willingness to put them front and center while you genuinely geek out about their work is a testament to you. I think the reason you're bringing in so many heavy hitters is because of who you are, and your well of enthusiasm and love for every creative decision. Now I'm gonna watch this video lmao

[@AKSDOGS]

Totally agree!! So many good, authentic creators and we love Jack’s genuine excitement and response!

[@LiahYoo]

This definitely explains why her video is so captivating. It’s tightly planned ahead! I always feel like I’m watching a film of someone’s life.

[@melaniegriesemer]

This level of attention to detail, storytelling & dedication to the craft is so inspiring. In a generation where it seems like everyone is just filming quick iPhone TikTok videos and blowing up, it feels many have lost the appreciation of the art of video creation. I am so grateful to these creators who actually are producing incredible, quality work.

[@fadiyasakina8140]

"I know my audience is smart" girlllll SO COOL

[@rohaxfx001]

The fact that Kariza likes early 2000s romcoms makes so much sense to her vlog style

[@Trxchx]

Holy crap, her brain and her process is amazing. Coming from the ad world, I have so much appreciation for her emphasis on planning and pre-pro. Truly so amazing

[@official_ate_gi_channel]

Life of Riza is the one who actually inspired me to do what I want. In her video FOR THOSE WHO FEEL LIKE GIVING UP, she said "don't listen to anybody". I took that to heart. And I did it! Thank you RIZA!!

[@justm720]

Honestly.. natalie lynn and life of riza has sparked my interest in cinevlogs and I am now on a war path in cine studies. I have fallen inlove with this world and I can't wait to see what I come up with for the future to evolve all the things I love in my cinematic world

[@NanaYakubu]

Me tooooooo

[@adhd_catholic_collective]

Same!!

[@viurest]

samee

[@RodHerzstrom]

Being waiting this interview for months! Riza is just a beast making those cinematic vlogs and the beauty of color grading, craft and story. So many years in the shadows where no one cared, and one day the almighty Algorithm saw her. Very likely she'll get 1M subs before the end of the year at that speed. Reminds me kinda like when Peter Mckinnon exploded.

[@heynotsopas]

As an artist, you know someone loves what they do when their eyes sparkle when talking about the ins and outs of their craft. It's just beautiful to see it and i hope more people gets to experience that kind of excitement about something they're passionate about!

[@BenjaminJaksch]

I was so looking forward to this conversation. What sets someone like Kariza apart from so many who "only do youtube" is that she does her own thing without talking about others and trying to get attention through that. Love her style and her attitude, she's a real role model there.

[@whostammam]

bro ur interviews are so sick, love the guests and really enjoy u having visuals for everything they talk about. As a visual learner really helps me comprehend everything and put references into perspective!

[@ShmavinShmenhouse]

This is the first time in YEARS since I've sat down to watch a Director's commentary. And this inspired me more than anything has in recent memory. Stunning work

[@liannevalle]

She's a gem. KZbin is LUCKY to have her on here. GREAT TIPS! I forced myself to download and start playing around with DaVinci Resolve solely based on Kariza's recommendation.

[@REALFLAMBO]

YES

[@maikdmann]

I love seeing the people here, I actually watch. That's so personal and interesting! More please haha

[@NanaYakubu]

Honestly!!!!

[@Sparky_Mark]

I think my favorite part of this whole thing was the idea of Easter Eggs. I'm definitely going to steal every single one of these ideas for my videos, and come up with my own.

[@AllenRReid]

Jack is the master at brain picking, asking great questions that result in terrific insight into the minds of talented content creators.

[@Egor_Aleksandrov]

what's amazing is how I've seen the creators you call out before and taken them just for granted. Just saw it, just watched the video. But you help me understand how they work, how much effort they put in and how powerful they are. Thank you!

[@focusbro_]

this is sick. LOVING her storyboarding/references to older films as well

[@Summerhaworth]

These tips are INCREDIBLY helpful. Thank you so much for interviewing and picking at her brain! And although some of this info may not be “new” to the vlog and film world, she’s still bringing a lot of people into a more cinematic way of planning and executing projects and in such a unique way! I love it so much, as someone who has had heavy influence from film growing up, a love for photography and videography, and wanted to vlog moments in life, she’s just merged the two worlds in a really thought provoking and cool way. I’ll be honest, I’ve always given up too soon, but seeing Riza’s videos over the last year has really sparked my motivation to get creative and get a real project done.

[@SabrinaToday]

Her videos are so nostalgic for me reminds me of a 90’s show My So Called Life . With Claire Danes being the main character. Keep up the Amazing Work

[@seemcat]

life of riza is giving the taylor swift mastermind of vlogging (iykyk). brb, about to apply the 3-act structure & storyboard for my next video 🥹.

[@tricksie88]

You can tell this girl's gonna be a big shot director!! Can't wait to see her growth.

[@manishstyles3251]

I’ve watched three videos on this channel, and I like doing small videos on my Instagram (reels) and every time to do a new edit, I always want it to look better than the last one, and this channel has taught me so much. ❤

[@JesseNyberg]

Amazing, love these interviews. This one and the gawx one were so good!

[@EvanLindy]

This is turning into my favourite channel, fan of Kariza as well! Keep up the great work Jack!

[@NanaYakubu]

Rightttttttt

[@kristenmys2340]

I found her account yesterday and started binging her content. I subscribed almost instantly, which is super rare for me. I LOVE what she is doing. Hearing her talk about her work and process makes it even better. I'm rarely a vlog watcher, but she is so unique.

[@DiligentDad]

Riza has been one of my inspirations. I love how your interviews reveal all of the unseen work behind the creators! I feel foolish even thinking about pre-production. It’s encouraging and inspirational to see the unseen work Riza puts into her videos.

[@PhilipDaeHan]

Friend showed me one of her vlog's, and it blew my mind. Props to her for making her life a cinematic universe.

[@jjstarrprod]

Awesome interview, Jack. Such a fascinating episode ! Life of Riza is arguably one of the most iconic storytelling focused channels on youtube at the moment, in the same ballpark as NataliexLynn and a few others insanely talented and experienced GenZ. Just watching these 35 minutes, it tells us so much about how she manages to build up her films (yes, at this point, these are films and not vlogs anymore), and how much details and preprod she puts in each one of them, which really explains so much why her "vlogs" have this "je ne sais quoi" that makes her stand out so much of the Casey Neistat/PeterMcKinnon style of vlogs. She's not just a pretty face, a solar smile and a soothing voice (which, all 3 certainly help in being engaging onscreen and endearing to the audience), she actually knows about the craft of filmmaking with 5 years of actual experience in the filmmaking industry. She's basically a perfect storm all on her own. Great to know she values storyboard so much. I'm a director of animated shorts films, and in animation, storyboard is an absolutely vital part of the process. It always boggled my mind to see so many live filmmakers and cinematographers completely disregard the craft as unneccessary or just a little supermarket to pick a few shots here and there : I once participated in a 48h competition as a storyboarder, and in good old 48h r challenge fashion, spent the night whipping up a cohesive storyboard of the whole 5 mins long movie for our team, without sleeping. To my utter dismay, the director/cinematographer (who at this point had his beauty sleep), woke up the day after, got a quick glance at it, felt like "mmm, yeah, this one's not bad", and picked ONE shot from my whole storyboard, and the rest, he'd figure out on location. Prior to that, we were pals (which is why I accepted to be part of his crew in that challenge), and needless to say, I never worked with that twat ever again. That was 10 years ago. People, please DO NOT underestimate the power of preproduction. What she said about the more preprod is done, the more perfect and quicker and reliable the result is absolutely 100% true for animation, and certainly applicable for live action filmmaking, or in her case, vlogging. She's making a fantastic fusion of both crafts (filmmaking and vlogging), fine tuned to a tee, and it's great to see this new generation of filmmakers reinvigorating KZbin (which kinda started to feel stale for a few years already) onto its next level. Also, I'm admirative on how Jack is able to decipher all the tiny little details that nobody else has caught on and you can tell it made Kariza's day to talk to someone so perceptive who made her felt actually seen. The sparkles in her eyes and the smile on her face each time he caught an easter egg or inquire about it was just so precious !

[@GEXAR]

I really like her manner of speech and voice. Thank you for the video, for allowing us to see how professionals work!

[@ddaradara]

when she talks about pre-production I felt that, I think some people I've worked with underestimate how important it is, they will just say "just shoot as much as you can, so you'll have options in editing", like that's not supposed to be how it works yk, and when things don't work out they'll just think I'm not good enough and then I'll be the one editing the footage 🙄

[@NBTJacklyn]

Holy wow so stoked to watch this

[@MadisonKeesler]

Sitting here taking notes. Thank you both so much!

[@GxAce]

Another great deep dive! Thanks for these :)

[@IsaiahRTaylor]

Give that woman all her flowers, she deserves it!

[@BettinaRae]

I LOVE how much joy you show in the creative techniques each creator uses. Your videos are a delight to watch and I learn so much.

[@makariespe]

The BEST. Queen of effort and authenticity 🙌

[@MSigs]

You can see her heavy influences of cinematography. Very few KZbinrs actually have a cinematic eye. The algorithm has been blessing her lately it’s well deserved. We need more high quality KZbin videos these days with the creator market being so crowded. Reminds me of a lot of Wes Anderson films. Kind of how theatre elements are brought into a cinematic world. So good with so much character.

[@RisingUnderdog]

The very first video I watched of hers, I thought to myself, "This looks very Wes Anderson but in her own way."

[@charlietighe]

Thanks for shedding light yet again on film makers who are so good at their craft, we are “surprised” they are actually carefully planning their shots that come across so naturally to the audience.

[@sayanee]

Wow, Jack! Really loved the deep dive you did with Kariza. Thank you for annotating the shots and also some key terms mentioned. I learned a lot.

[@metrowcam]

Riza and gawx is my ultimate inspiration when it comes to creating a storyline and make it cinematic

[@NBTJacklyn]

So creatively inspired wow

[@4lyyr]

You know, I'm browsing through this channel because I wanna learn as much as possible from other artists and I just came back from Natalie Lynn's video. I think it's super interesting to see the contrast between her and Kariza, because Natalie is the type to film and think after (post-production), whereas Kariza does all of the thinking beforehand and then just executes the pre-made idea afterwards (pre-production). Very interesting to see two different ways of doing things

[@DavionWest]

I love her content, such a breath of fresh air in the KZbin community with her content and others.

[@ChristopherChaconYT]

so excited for this one!!!! kariza is an absolute genius!!! 🥹🔥

[@godwin_njoroge]

This was so beautiful! The honest conversation, the breakdowns, the little moments of magic, and seeing the thinking behind them. Wow!

[@REALFLAMBO]

Kariza is one of the the main inspiration for me to start doing cinematic vlogs

[@vg8429]

This is such an amazing video interview! Love seeing all this behind the making. It does feel magical! Super exciting. Thx for sharing guys!! ❤️

[@BenjiSelby]

Awh what I nice surprise! Love your interview breakdowns and my appreciation for Riza’s vids have skyrocketed now hahaha the effort pays off 🫡

[@azizulislamjibon]

Literally she is awesome! I can feel her as a movie! 💖💖

[@thedanielaros]

Love this interview! Amazing BTS of Kariza’s process. The storyboarding is next level. You are an inspiration. Thank you both for this conversation.

[@conradjavier5180]

Unreal episode. Unreal value! Thank you both for giving us so much to delve into. Extremely inspiring for creative minds!

[@ElenaTaber]

Such an icon!👏👏

[@Nia_Noted]

I felt like I was there with you! This is why I love your videos because they feel like mini movies because why did I just shed a tear that was so cute! Truly appreciate your talent!🙌🏾

[@iuliiaposelskaia4495]

Thank you for creating and delivering this video! I was so curious about what’s behind Riza’s filmmaking as it does feel like a fairytale!

[@lisaviktoria9402]

so satisfying and good to hear, that there is so much work in it - it is not effortless to make a movie look effortless

[@EarnDirector]

This is epic interview! I’m learning a lot more in here than in the film school.

[@PeterSu]

Wow this is so cool. Love the thoughtfulness and intention behind every shot. More interviews with Kariza please.

[@linus.olofssonn]

A duo I've been wanting for a while now!!

[@NanaYakubu]

Honestlyyyyyyy

[@akiffpremjee]

The attention to detail is truly incredible - great video!

[@RicPuzzles]

thats really awesome! glad to see other bloggers storyboarding, I thought I was crazy but this is next level!

[@davey_gravy]

So much MORE respect for both of you, this episode is a hall of famer

[@mattwalker3]

Truly INVALUABLE content you’re bringing to the community Jack!

[@ohizkimmie]

She is an absolute genius and I LOVE her style 💚💚💚

[@MariaJesus]

Thank you for such a juicy interview, Jack 🔥 Honestly I thought at first that it'd be another click-bait video about Kariza. But your interesting and deep questions help me understand her better, as well as the filmmaking process itself. I got a lot of insights to improve my videos 🤯 Thanks again, keep it up!

[@NikandYas]

Loved it! Such a dynamic interview and so much input! Love to hear about the entire process of your video Riza! 😍

[@evanwjenkins]

You've had some really great guests the past few months. Riza captivated me from the Jeep 'thru the window' shot in her first vlog. Glad you dissected this with her. Cool stuff!

[@arasnarratives]

One of the few creators that I admire on youtube. You can really tell the passion and effort that she puts into her videos. Her work inspired me to try to get better at my own craft 😊

[@TicketstoToyTime]

Love this!

[@kvmackay]

wow. SUCH a good interview. thanks so much for sharing!

[@little-paper-plane]

This was excellent! Thanks so much for asking interesting questions and sharing this great interview. Super cool to get an insight into her workflow and brain, makes me feel inspired to create!

[@sediqarezaie5049]

Oh my god! I am crying! I JUST ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS BREAK DOWN OF HER WORK BY HERSELF. Oh, I just love it! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!💌💌💌💌💌

[@SuzyTurner]

Pure gold! I love Kariza and her channel, so it's wonderful to find out all this behind the scenes stuff to be able to learn from her 🤩

[@DDTear]

Wow, Riza is soooo incredible, talented, and thoughtful! This channel is so good that invited those genius filmmakers to share their journeys. Thank you Digital Spaghetti!

[@ahmadriyal5335]

Life Of Riza and Natalie Lynn are some of my fav creators on the platform right now. Thank you so much for bringing them in

[@nguday2003]

I love this lady! She is awesome. I can see it getting picked up by a Netflix. Can’t wait to watch - love love love that I found her!

[@askbatguy]

i first watched the one with daniel thrasher and his editor, I know jack from pomplamouse and I love this channel now

[@me.my.son.and.i]

Brilliant! Watched with a smile. Life of Riza is number one for inspiration in my book!

[@bardagger]

She is great and so are you!!! Thanks for this!

[@tebms8215]

the reason why i love her work

[@halfsliceoflife]

This is slowly becoming my favorite KZbin channel. Love listening to these conversations and you invited by far most of my favorite youtubers. so much to learn about filmmaking and storytelling.

[@BoluId]

This was a whole masterclass, I'm super inspired! Thanks Kariza and Digital Spaghetti!

[@soulofchiara]

Her vlogs inspired me to start my KZbin channel 🥹 thank you so much for having her on your show it was awesome to see how much thought she puts into each video❤

[@ShotBySamGZ]

Kariza is definitely someone i watch with the sole purpose to just learn from her and take in all of her talent. Thank you for this video!

[@alifilmstuff]

I love seeing the magical brain of Kariza. Big fan, I have learnt alot from this video! Thanks for doing this!!

[@hibarasheed9880]

loved loved lovedddddd this video. THANK YOUUU

[@SweetSourTravel]

Great talk thanks both ❤️💙

[@LeoCadeau]

Damn the quality you’re putting out is mesmerizing. Wouldn’t know how to reach that level. I just started vlogging (in german) and it’s fun but feels strange tho! I’ll become better and look back to the first videos and think how could they be that bad, I just don’t know any better atm

[@nvi_]

i love these videos, they are so inspiring. jack, you’re a fantastic interviewer and kariza is a great creative voice. thanks guys :)

[@jalvapic]

Yes! I wanted this video so bad. She's awesome, and it's great to hear a bit of the behind the scenes.

[@Beyond9.5]

Some great insights for new age vlogging.. not fast cuts... not too slow... just a perfect recipe ❤

[@tarotducheneblanc]

This was Amazing!! She woke me up the moment I stumbled upon her video. I am in love with this. I love how everything is intentional and where she can explain everything she did. Brilliant. Thank you so much for doing this. It allowed us to see behind the creation.. the creator! Amazing..
