Who gets inspired by just the simplicity of the wind? 🍃

[@JustSheik]

Yes… ❤

[@NightWLKR1]

I like that outlook

[@yamsang0__0]

Yea man. Pair it with the song "Strangers" by Kenya Grace playing in your headphones and it feels like you're unstoppable.

[@Love4Ranimals]

YES!!! ❤

[@bunkertons]

American Beauty anyone? 😂

[@ninadee9753]

"But if we're always fixated on the big things in our lives, chances are we'll spend a large portion of our lives dissatisfied." Wow.... I needed that.

[@ursistercristina]

the beauty of little moments

[@BenedictCua]

Woaaahh! I've been binge-watching your videos for hours already!! Thank you for being an inspiration! 6 years on KZbin and I never thought I'd be this eager to learn something new again - in this case - about cinematography, not until I came across one of your videos. ❤

[@justinjeroneflores518]

Yas Benedict Mr Cua. Your videos are so entertaining, and you planning to take it up a notch?! Oh gosh looking forward to that!

[@LifeOfRiza]

Thank you Benedict!! 😁

Yes, I have been learning a lot from Riza. She's such an inspiration ❤❤❤

[@JonRamosComedy]

Highly addictive and inspirational. A recipe for my attention to wander.

[@samkittty]

Your cinematic videography is so therapeutic and inspiring ✨

[@ballooned]

It's a good day when Riza uploads😊

[@cinnakuuri]

when you talked about taking a walk outside i realized it's been a while since i last touched grass 😭 not a videographer but i do write for a living, and i'm stumped. delighted to make this journey with you ❤

[@tapiocapress]

I recently started working for myself, and find that the constant pressure to always be "on", and working, is very detrimental to my creativity. So I'm also learning to let go of trying to "produce" in some moments, and focus on absorbing. Thank you for sharing:)

[@LifeOfRiza]

yesss exactly!!!

[@Ang36914]

Your autumn decorations are beautiful, love the fireplace mantel.

[@bangkokcowboy]

started vlogging because of riza and this one was the perfect timing... appreciating one day at a time!

[@ramonedixon]

Inspiration always comes from just going out, seeing the world and being active.

[@LLandMeTV]

I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE your vlogs. They litterally look like MOVIES! You are amazing! Such an inspiration. Please don't stop!

[@maitelarreak]

I’ve never be the kind of person that takes pictures or film anything but her videos are so unique and inspiring that now I want the KZbin channel that I was trying to start to look at least 1% like this. Absolutely amazing job 🤩

[@susmithas1958]

Its so calming like an indie song

[@thechoosetobehappy]

for me the best ideas are coming when I "Switch off" from this world and reconnect with nature. i live in mountains small village and the best ideas are coming when I go for a walk to the forest or just seat on the terrace and listen to birds singing etc. Don't know why, how but that are the best places for me. Then I get soo many ideas that is crazy.

[@BTMovieSecondChannel]

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="8">00:08</a> - magnificent shot! The unexpectedness, the right amount of DOF, everything!

[@tamaa_naufal]

i fall in love with ur dedications, efforts, creativity, concepts, implementations, cinematic, tones, all of it idk how to say it anymore! thanks riza, ur brighten up my day! everyday..!

[@hotlineoperator]

My observation is that the mind is better when doing things. Apathy and a helpless state of being take over the mind when nothing gets done, undone work causes stress - not doing things. The motivation to do usually comes after starting, one shouldn't wait for inspiration.

[@jordanjcreates]

100% feel you on the need to get away from creating to feel creative sometimes! Always find the best inspiration comes when I’ve had time to just do life ✨

[@azhar456]

you are such an inspiration, truly you are.

[@KillerTacos54]

This upload was absolutely worth waiting for. Amazing!

[@LivingMindfullyWithEve]

Your bravery to film in public places is admirable! I get such bad anxiety anytime I try to film myself in public! Love your videos!

[@jansleyreal]

I was thinking the exact same thing!

[@AerialWaviator]

The underlying theme to this episode is 'using self care to catalyze inspiration'. I can really relate, little changes to the ordinary, be it a walk, a little someone to improve ones personal space, or drawing inspiration for creators with other focuses (music, books, etc). Thanks for your inspirations, by keeping it real. Great ordinary story telling.

[@today_i_will_draw7870]

I've been feeling the exact same these past few weeks..Trying to get out of my rut too

[@RiqB]

Love your stuff riza

[@DJMax85]

Oh man, I got this book like a couple of months ago, but I haven't started yet. However, Rick Rubin is such an inspirational to unlock creativity and getting out from creative block. Gotta start reading for it!

[@ethanvaccproductions314]

You posted a video where you said not every video has to be your best video ever or be over the top. This video is proof that your living by that and I think that’s the most incredible lesson here. While this video isn’t your best yet, I can see your intention wasn’t to do so. However that’s not to say this video isn’t good, it’s the opposite. This video is still amazingly simple yet cinematic and relaxing and inspiring, so I’m impressed. Keep up the amazing work. Thank you Riza 👏🤝🙂

[@laras223]

Hey, I just found your channel and have been binge watching all of your videos😆 definitely love your shoot and storyline. Keep up your work!!❤❤

[@chaijuanasnow]

This kind of art leaves me in awe ….❤

[@bbbrenda]

This reminds me somewhat of Yuriko Saito's discussion about everyday aesthetics and the concept of wabi-sabi, love your vids btw and hope things go well!

[@VincentForDesign]

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="184">3:04</a> During this period, my colleagues have been going through difficult times. One of them has had their spouse in the ICU for over two weeks, and another is dealing with mental health issues. As a creative person, I thrive on the freedom to do my work, but I've had to take on extra responsibilities to help out. This has significantly increased my stress levels. Despite the mounting deadlines and communication gaps I need to fill, I understand that my colleagues need me now more than ever. So, I've made a conscious effort to continue my cycling routine, even when I feel overwhelmed. I've come to realize that taking some "play time" is essential. It may seem counterintuitive, and I sometimes feel guilty, but I've learned to prioritize what truly matters.

[@phendyho6317]

Thank you! ❤ And yes, I am trying to find inspiration to move forward.

[@Motivationallbroo]

I absolutely love the way you capture these moments and put them into a video that’s so perfectly edited.

[@1matzeplayer1]

This channel is a blessing!

[@penaazvalecha]

LOVE your videos. The vibe is so calm, relaxing, and inspiring. Found you through Colt a while ago and I'm so grateful ❤

[@Ap_Productions04]

please post more, your videos literally give me inspiration and positive vibes, make me get through University.

[@smilemorewithsammy]

Unbelievable that this style of video made me want to watch so much that I watched through the entire ad just for the aesthetic 😍

[@SimieIriarte]

I read The Creative Act earlier this year and it literally spoke to my soul. Like you said: super relatable. Arguably my favorite book of all time. I keep it on my desk and occasionally open it to a random page when I'm in a rut, a bad mood, a good mood, or it's just been a while... and every. single. time - whatever I open it to is always relevant to the situation. It's almost spooky at this point. I gasped when I saw the book in your thumbnail. Super happy you caved!

[@iamsuemitraa]

Could I just say that, your videos have such a cozy comfy vibe. I'm currently trying to vlog as well, so watching your videos gives me hope that even the simple videos work too. Thanks Riza!

[@kookoo4mike]

I’m so curious for more of you. Please more backstory of how and where you grew up, family stories, previous endeavors, other interests, etc. JUST MORE! 😋😘

[@geraldlee6370]

The shot where the light rays were beaming on your shelf with the camera and the little head figure was immaculate. Thanks for the super calm and relaxing video riza, super inspiring. Hi Colt we love you too !!

[@marypotter_2010]

Hiii Riza! Can't wait for the video!! Riza, you are an amazing KZbinr and one of my most favorites! I love your content, your editing so so so much and I absolutely love your calming voice and the way you tell everything! it feels like I'm watching a movie, you seriously deserve so so much. I found your channel 2 or 3 months ago and I'm so grateful that I did. You have such a positive energy and you are such an inspiration for so many people. I hope your channel grows super fast, and more more people watch your videos. I love Cinematography too but I always used to wonder how I'll make those types of videos or take cinematic pictures and after watching you, I was confident enough to start and I took so so many pictures. Riza these words may not be enough to tell you how amazing you are and how helpful and calming your content is but I hope you get an idea of what I mean and I hope your channel reaches more people. love, Mary

[@navalonaandraina7604]

Am I the only that feels like the first few seconds felt like a gilmore girls episode 😮 So comforting for me

[@LifeOfRiza]

BEST COMMENT I was channelling stars hollow :’)

[@filipeedr]

When I watch your videos, immediately makes me want turn on TV and watch a light movie

[@make725daily1]

I'm genuinely impressed by your video! - "Triumph often emerges from navigating the depths of failure.."

[@nelibeshkova]

Love the fall vibe! :) x

[@MattEpicAdventures]

I felt nostalgia with this intro, I thought I was back as a kid in front of a movie and I loved it, this is why Il love youtube ! Thanks for your videos.

[@yashyi08]

your work inspires me every single time, keep it up you’re amazing!!

[@DearestDora]

I love how well thought out and intentional your content is. It’s inspiring. So proud of you for being gentle with yourself to not force yourself to just pump out content but to let inspiration lead you.

[@imamfmirrorball]

hey Riza! You really inspire me to just go and do things that I love. Amazing video by the way.

[@thinnmarmoody]

Your videos are a few of the videos that I don't just play in the background while I work on something else. I actually watch your videos and do nothing else. Hehe... Love your work!

[@BellaSundqvist]

This helped me so much in finding inspiration when I feel lost now after college. Struggling which path to take and just feeling unmotivated after rejection after rejection in job applications. You remind me how I can stay focused and find inspiration in the small things in life, and those small things are the things that truly matters the most. Thank you!

[@clarkysparky]

This is the first video I've seen of hers and I already love her and her video style. Props to you for making mundane tasks so fun to watch. I took notes on what you said and will try and apply some of these to my life

[@NeliSparkles]

Is it just me who can't get enough of all her masterpieces, that I end up rewatching the other videos with each new upload?😂❤ Thank you for your hard work Riza, your work is truly inspirational🤍✨

[@LifeOfRiza]

[@diywithara]

love how your vids feels like home💖 the bg music is really a plus✨✨

[@rongitmukherjee]

Can't wait 🥺 thank you for creating such great content with brilliant cinematography and editing. One of your videos, i think it was "how i'm setting goals for 2022" helped me with my mental health on a certain day and i'm grateful to you for that :)

[@aipilot6795]

Best channel I’ve found in 2023. Mad that it took me so long.

just what i needed after months of burning myself out🥴 thank you for this, ate riza💗

[@karlaendencia8255]

You're the best! 🙌 I'm always in awe, everytime. Thank you for being an inspiration, Riza. Sending love! 💖💖💖

[@JayRuqo]

I love that book! It definitly taught me to let go and let the art speak for itself. Keep up your great work!!

[@laurariedt]

this truly spoke to my soul. I've been in a creative rut before going on vacation and now being back, feeling more inspired is great - and I live in Scandinavia which gets quite dark and gloomy for a great period of time, so I'm glad to come back to this masterpiece now and then whenever the writers block strikes again. thank you, Riza :)

[@CluelessYoutuber]

Your skill and creativity in writing and filming these videos are immense. Been binging your vlogs and learn a lot. Very inspiring :)

[@audreyg6157]

Oh you're in Canada! I just moved in rural Ontario from Québec and I was thinking about starting filming just for fun since I'm without work for now. I binged watch your videos and I really appreciate all the tips you gave in them while I could enjoy your beautiful cinematographic shots and your calming narration. You're truly an inspiration. Great video! 😁

[@extrasalexisparrapulido]

Am i the only one that feels the most creative in a hot shower lol?

[@cerealleyx]

i just love how you are always able to make everything seem super cinematic sticking to the film making techniques yet having your own flair :) can't wait to watch more ! thank you for showing your art to the world :)

[@harucrtv]

Been procrastinating on my channel for years- thank you for reminding me to overthink less with each video you upload. Inspiring me to get to where you and Colt are!

[@lindamarietravel]

Thank you Riza, you are inspiring me!

[@tammyalbanesi]

I love watching you! You have such a beautiful way of telling the story by just being yourself. There’s beauty even on rainy days ❤

[@kalyanichegondi6581]

Your videos feel like a comforting summer breeze, sweeping through my thoughts and leaving me with a sense of serenity. You inspire me Riza

[@azzori.ateaches]

Thank you for the insight on this topic, I think many of us struggle with this. We all just need some flame to keep us going!

[@ajaylama3267]

Thank you for being you❤❤. you said something in one of your videos & that seems to relate to me more than anything . you said “the sooner you can be you the sooner people who are looking for you will find you” thank you for that it helped me a lot to be truly me.

[@hansen.keagan]

Kariza! You are truly an inspiration. I love how beautifully humble and honest you are. Your focus on making moments count, figuring it out, and finding beauty in the simplicities of life is so admirable, and the ways in which you grow and inspire growth in others is amazing. Aside from being an incredible and unique storyteller, you’re also a genuinely wonderful and unique person. You truly are one of those people who makes everyone around them so much better just by being themself. So thank you!

[@LifeOfRiza]

thank you so much!!! 🙏🏼 :’)

[@aylyncalcano2885]

You and your videos will always hold a special place in my heart, keep up the good work 🥹💗🎥🎞

[@vidhangangwal8481]

Riza, you have inspired me so much and your way of storytelling is what i wish to incorporate in my work. Just the simplicity and it is so beautiful. And so different. Keep it up and best of luck

first off, absolutely in love with the cozy fall vibes! 🍂 definitely a message i needed to hear during times of burnout and demotivation. love your videos as always kariza, can't wait for the next one 💕

[@salvatore2119]

Literally from watching first few seconds of your videos, I already know the production quality and values are off the charts! This is absolutely amazing, I'm very much thankful that you take your time to shoot rather mundane scenes (but you've probably started to love them) though those tiny shots really set the mood for everything and those small things about your videos are what sparks to me! Thank you very much for such great storytelling and a fresh perspective!

[@lilyeti]

Amazing video once again Riza, and congrats on the epidemic sponsorship, theyre the best! and after u read the first page of the book, I just had to buy it straight away :DD

[@Dil.Careem]

This video is a wonderful reminder that inspiration can be found in the simplest moments of our everyday lives. It's all about taking the time to appreciate the beauty in the ordinary and finding joy in the little things.

[@Sesha_N]

Your videos just inspire me a lot ❤ thanks Riza

[@RangelCostes]

This helped. Been looking for something to inspire this strange creativity. Was thrown off from it for the longest time after I was told that it was not great. Seeing this not only helped me create but to also connect with you. This takes work.

[@joehansonwbu]

this video just popped up on my feed and it immediately caught my attention! nice to see things from a different pov sometimes.

[@raymond_phan]

Hell yeah another vid from the goat 🙌 talking about filling up on inspiration to be ready to create, YOUR videos were literally one of the things that were able to inspire me to create my own videos!! It’s nice to know everyone goes through it, even someone as successful as yourself. Thank you for continuing to inspire me and many others 🫶
