Bro that intro didn’t have to be that hard, bro. Knocked the breakfast whiskey right outta my hand

[@EricFloberg]

lol love u

[@CNoel]

Wow. Just wow. The entire video from start to finish was absolute perfection. Thank you for truly being the KZbin dad of filmmaking.❤

[@frankyfantasticmedia9718]

I wanted to write a comment, but I will just 100% agree with what you just said :)

[@TinaMartinez97]

I think what’s hard about getting started is seeing so many talented people (like yourself) be sooo good and being scared to fail.

[@EricFloberg]

Totally hear that. But, there will always be someone way more talented than you, so allowing that to cripple your start will ensure there never is a success story. One step at a time.

[@TinaMartinez97]

@@EricFloberg thanks for your kind reply ✨

[@bananagooz5940]

Bro... i have been on youtube since i was a kid, never have i been so pulled into a video like this. THIS --- WAS --- GREAT

[@davidson.mp4]

the "my dad never hugged me" made me burst my biggest laugh at the office

[@EricFloberg]

lolololol

[@jerrywaynecalloway]

This video is the true definition of perfection. You covered a lot in a moderately short video

[@gabrielikeda4058]

Wow! I got literally tears in my eyes in the ending of this vídeo... Deeply inspiring content! Thanks to putting that into the world! I'm starting my career as a filmmaker in Brazil! :)

[@EricFloberg]

Amazing!! So happy it impacted you in that way!

[@drakearries]

I really only like filmmaking to add the art of cinema into my vlogs but DUDE, even if I'm not a working professional one, this really nails what I need!

[@StevenSchultz]

Unbelievable, homie. So proud of the effort you put into this & the vision you had for it from the start. One of your all-time best pieces ❤

[@EricFloberg]

Love you, homie. Thanks for your help and always hearing me out when I have a psycho plan.

[@jordanadudek]

Love how you casually made this masterclass of a video, albeit five years too late for me. Oh well, failure is a great teacher too 😅. I agreed with every point you made. Needed to hear the part about continuing to create content, as well as always refining your craft.

[@EricFloberg]

Such good feedback. Thanks so much, Jordan! Hope all is well!!

[@carterkapow]

There are lots of youtubers that spend a lot of time not really saying much... this video is not an example of that. The whole duration is packed with amazing advice paired with striking visuals and audio. You have a gift, thank you for sharing it with us all.

[@YannickFilms]

Omg same, I also turned every school presentation into a film project. They asked why I was willing to do the "extra work" but besides the fun I had doing it I'd rather cut out every time I would say something wrong then doing it "live"💯😂

[@murk.mp4760]

15:50 this sequence was breathtaking. Amazing video!

[@andrewstonephotography]

DUDE! This was MONEY! So clear & to the point! I was engaged the whole time! I love the variety of angles & focal lengths with your talking head shot! Also, the ending was BRILLIANT!! Filmmaking can be your CAREER, but should never be YOUR LIFE! Dang man, well-done! :)

[@EbrahimTries]

That ending felt so real. I cried this is truly filmmaking thanks for this beautiful video

[@Qwixo]

the outro is perfect. says everything without saying anything, just like you mentioned in the previous tip. wow

[@VisionaryGrant]

This was the absolute best , most grounded inspirational, and Informative film that I’ve seen on KZbin. Thank you for making this. I needed to see it.

[@tyreeseingram9151]

I just love how you tell us you loving running then and telling us to embrace our style the proceed to do a scene running; truly beautiful

[@carlitosbertelsen7522]

This was so incredible to watch, I was engaged the entire time with the way you presented the information and the overall story and feel that you portrayed. I am currently trying to get into film making and photography and this has opened my mind to different ways to approach this journey. I am so excited to see more of the things you create!

[@ddames]

That ending was amazing bro. Been watching your videos for a while and your tips have definitely improved my film making. Big ups to you man 📌

[@drgenuine3357]

I’m just starting my filmmaking career. Just a few days ago I registered for my local college so that I can get the information and skills I need to efficiently do what I want to do, that is shooting movies. You popped up randomly on the top of my recommended, not an OUNCE of coincidence. When I make it, when I get there, when I finally have the delight and privilege to call myself a professional filmmaker; I will come back and let you know that you helped me to grow out of the norm and to be myself, explore myself, and to show others MY creativity. Much thankfulness -David

[@DuncanSmith]

that ending

[@stanleydukor]

Literally ended the video with a short movie scene. Super inspired by this!

[@AntoineMurenga]

How have I never seen this video, it’s incredible

[@BobbyClements]

watching with enthusiasm and excitement as this video feels meant to be

[@badtelevisionworldwide.]

that zoom out at 5:20 had me.......like WHAT?????!!!! this is fire especially since i think my mind had familirised itself with abit of a more filled up space shoutout to the composition sheeeesh from a South African

[@charles_macmillan]

That ending gave me CHILLS!

[@EYMCRICKETSQUAD]

What I have just seen is ............,............... Speechless 🤐🤐🤐🤐🤐 ... U top my list of fav creators ... PS I have seen ur channel first time randomly

[@patresinger]

The selflessness of your commitment to making the world a better place, has no boundaries. Love you man.

[@lock6725]

bro the outro is just pure goosebumps u inspired me man

[@Epicframesmedia]

Man, this was one of the most inspirational videos I have watched in a long time! That last scene, Jesus was so good!!

[@Phillink]

I literally teared up on that outro. Wow

[@ChristopherChaconYT]

That ending was just.. next level. Well done man! As always, absolutely love your content!!! 🔥

[@EricFloberg]

Thanks so much, Chris!

[@moazali37]

WoW ❗ the way this video started was so peaceful. In the end I was nervous. What an idea really I am impressed 🤯

[@liamtompkins3365]

This video answered a lot of the issues I’ve been having with film making process. Thank you. I’m new to the space and you really resonate

[@jg_jgjg]

I have lived in Milwaukee, WI. now for almost 10 years. I grew up by Foster and Ravenswood. Thanks for the nostalgia of my old neighborhood.

[@tristfularcadia]

That intro has a very apple like feeling, super well done

[@thomasfatinstudio]

So much inspiring from the intro to the end. Thank you for being you and sharing the best of this passion that is film making. ❤

[@Kryzvlogs]

This hit deep. I guess the hardest part for me is that my work is not good enough, so I never put it out there. New sub

[@behystudio]

Loving these types of videos. Inspiring, fun, and most importantly based on real experience. Keep up the good work Eric.

[@EricFloberg]

Thanks so much!!

[@TaylorJacksonPhoto]

This is incredible. Well done. Sorry for being late, I wanted to watch this on the biggest screen I have. It was broken though. So I rented a full size theatre and watched it alone in there. Worth the expense. The concessions person came in and also said it was wonderful.

[@Sara-tp6zd]

you are one of my favorite artists on youtube who share real things not just lies

[@edwardcrockett]

less than a minute in and I'm very impressed! Bravo on this one Eric!

[@EricFloberg]

Thanks so much, my guy! :)

[@edwardcrockett]

@Eric Floberg Also... Papa Mckinnon 😂

[@aaronzgarba7880]

This video was just amazing! I have found that on YT, most videos, if not all, that are about how to get a career in filmmaking are almost always the same, at least for me, and seem to always have some complex way to become a filmmaker and don't take into account not all filmmakers are going to go on the same career path as others. This video just hit differently for me than most others. Thank you for making this!

[@theyosmusic]

Just wanna say that this is the best advice I've ever heard on KZbin KEEP IT UP MAN!!

[@Jon_bodhi]

Dude! Not expecting that when I clicked. Eric always comes with that emotional finesse.... This is what we call STYLE baby.

[@robertoguerrra6079]

Finally a guy from Chicago which is good hoped he has classes 🙌 to teach people.

[@Christopher_Ray]

Holy INTRO, good LORD. This was fantastic!

[@RyanKao]

AHHH so good. Immaculate frames

[@danieldorward]

Always inspiring, mate. Cheers from the other side of the pond!

[@EricFloberg]

Cheers, brother! Thanks for the support!!

[@zoomblaster8657]

I subscribed myself just for the intro

[@DieselStudios2023]

Thank you for this video! I never had a crew, and most my videos and produced solely by myself. I've been told to just keep making content. So even though I don't have many viewers or subscribers I will continue to create because YOU inspired me! THANK YOU!

[@bashaphotography4565]

Man you are an inspiration, anytime I feel down on this journey you remind me that I am doing great, I just need to push to another level. Seriously man, I love your work.

[@fotografamos4083]

I'm not a film maker (or ever intend to be), but your videos. Dang it. So, so good. I wish my photography was as inspiring as your videos are.

[@timovehkaoja]

Loved that ”One way” sign and you going wrong way! That’s what it really is!

[@Genobic]

That was breathtaking, informative and beautiful all in one…speechless

[@weshouldtlk]

You are so cool. I’m squirming as i watch this. The aesthetics are SO GOOD. Lighting, editing, & inspiring message! Thank you

[@rebeccaehret]

I’ve got my first wedding in a little over a week… same here with the $300. I just hope to make a beautiful film for the couple and am grateful for the opportunity. You just need one. Amazing video, Eric. Your creative guidance and authenticity is deeply appreciated.

[@bilalMalic0001]

My mind just blown away by the quality of this masterpiece

[@Arnout_Slooff]

The 1:18 "One Way" shot 🎥 Love it!

[@Astral-s6o]

I wanna be a filmmaker. But something that i always like to think about is the art of the equation of our work. I see filmmaking as a complete art, much like music, painting and etc. But our market is completely different. I don't wanna be the guy who edit for others, and lose 100% of the protagonism of the project. It feels like is the only way, but i know that it isn't. Guys, let's fight for this, let's be the protagonists of our art, we have youtube to pay us for our videos, Instagram, and other tools. (There's nothing wrong with working for others, it's just how I feel. Like, i wanna be big, bro. Not just a guy who film stuff.)

[@thebrennoncall117]

Never ceases to amaze me how much heart and detail goes into all of these videos you make. Love the last tip too, it's easy to tell that your videos are YOU. Keep it up!

[@TheFreedomToBe]

This may be the only video I have ever immediately rewatched. Brilliant! Thank you!

[@clairedorise2525]

My heart at the end WHAT A WHIRLWIND. Brilliant.

[@EricFloberg]

Really appreciate these words, Jesse. Thanks so much.

[@dasilveiraphotography]

Wow what the hell.. This is the first "tutorial" ever to evoke a deep feeling inside. Absolute shocker at the end. Great work man 👊

[@niklashampinen]

Beautiful, inspiring work as always Erik. I've been doing photography professionally for few years now and wanted to start doing some films too for the past year or so. Just put out my first video up on KZbin couple days ago and absolutely stoked to get more coming in. Thank you for the constant inspiration and beautiful work.

[@HugoStevenette]

Same story here!

[@LifeSurfingDude]

such a beautiful fairy tale about 'career' in filmmaking :)

[@sheepsforjesus]

All I want to say is thank you. And genuinely appreciate your films and just encouragement

[@CedricAtor]

As a new father that ending made me tear up man. Just wow, I will forever be a fan of your work 🙌🏼

[@jezersek_production]

I really like how you make some educational yt video short film, starting as a normal work day but ending tragically. I don't know what happened with your son. My condolences!

[@EricFloberg]

All is good! Just a creative exercise, trying to prove the points I was making. Thanks for watching!!

[@patooberuc6382]

man, this is such valuable and useful information even though I have been running my business for the past 3 years. Incredible work

[@EricFloberg]

Thanks so much & thanks for watching!!

[@Brii_Lynn]

Omggggg thank you so much for this video!!! I’m about to start college and I’m going for my bachelor’s in digital filmmaking!!! I just subscribed ❤️

[@hanspeterboakye]

[@ljtech20]

I’ve picked up filmmaking recently and this video has really inspired me to keep going. Thank you, Eric!

[@YannickFilms]

My dad never hugged me😂

[@conwip_train]

The best video on YT, I've ever watched. And they've got Kung Fu Panda 2 in here!

[@arthurpujol4431]

Loved the intro, the video itself, until... WOW! The outro was so emotionally powerful. +1 subscriber!

[@charlierobertson1004]

Wow, just wow. Thanks for lighting my spark for filmmaking ! I’m always fascinated but too afraid to attempt anything but I kept that passion and that dream for this long. So glad I stumbled on this video. I currently shoot recap videos for a summer camp in Wisconsin

[@iamrjdennis]

"So you want to be a filmmaker, huh? You sweet summer child" 😂

[@blackleafweddings2442]

that intro was so fly dude !!!!

[@TedPatrickBaird]

Thanks for the tips! Just landed my first wedding for $500. Still in disbelief that I can actually get paid for my creativity. You've been the biggest influence in formulating my style. Keep going!

[@EricFloberg]

Let's go!! So exciting! Keep getting after it!!

[@sbencer_]

love how he ends the video by just nonverbally saying, look its that easy

[@alexwedits]

I've never seen any of Eric's other videos, first time viewer, and this is absolutely amazing! Such great advice and the production quality is mind blowing!

[@peteradami7544]

Chills... This is a video that made me feel motivated again in making what i love the most. Thank you for this masterpiece!

[@FocalMatter]

You are so inspiring… honestly just wow … I really need to create more

[@Ariel_Frimer]

Thank you! As a person trying to make it as a filmmaker this is really helpful and inspiring ❤️

[@thuheinnyi]

The last short is pretty good but you make a short scences for not a day version and night scences is good for this BTW thx u for sharing.❤

[@liturgy0]

Oh ya i forgot you in Chicago. I use to work at the La Fitness on Lawrence and Ravenswood

[@DouglassVisions]

9:51 this part really resonated. I'm on a filmmaker journey too, its a bit... tricky sometimes with self doubt and procrastination, but you are totally right. I'm glad there's people like you making videos. thank you.

[@krystiansinterests8225]

Dude that last had me emotional 😅

[@ColinandSamir]

Dope

[@BluffCoast]

Chapter Eight: watch incredible, creative, free content like this to draw inspiration and learn new things. Incredible as always Eric!

[@benjikanji-thecreator]

[@OKbryan]

Damm! I entered super demovtied, douthing if I ever could filmmaker. I soak in. By far best ending to a KZbin video. Crazy!

[@kytowrld]

[@kytowrld]

[@CAMAS_7]

thank you Eric. this is the most straightforward advice piece I think I've seen on this platform. brilliant ending.

[@LucasJohnsonVisuals]

I want to be the kind that makes amazing intros like in this video, ahah. So good, dude.

[@rominapalaciosmedia]

you’re genuinely an inspiration, eric
