[@sergiomotayt]

woow excellent image quality, very sharp and clean! 👌

[@RyanKao]

Thanks for watching Sergio!

[@tomferenc2520]

That is exactly what i was going through 2 years ago, i was so passionate about filmmaking, but tough times came and everything started to crumble. But then i started to create more and it came back, more motivation, new goals, just never give up on your dreams, try new things, get out of that comfort zone and be the creator you always wanted to be !

[@RyanKao]

I can relate to this! Thanks for watching Tom!

[@MaxBalzer]

Oh man, incredible video Ryan! Needed this motivation right now, thanks dude 🙌🏻

[@RyanKao]

Max! Thanks a ton brother 👊🏼

[@mohicferguson_]

For always sharing these amazing videos, thank you mayne. You’re the reason why I started. The reason why I decided to pursue filmmaking and step out of my comfort zone and start a KZbin channel. I realize that time is precious and it’s a blessing being able to capture it and share it. If I didn’t stumble across that video you made about being a perfectionist I’d probably just be taking photos alone. So thank you for always inspiring 🤧🙏🏾

[@RyanKao]

Wow... thank you so much Mohic. So glad I could inspire 🙏

[@Paradise2Paradise]

Thanks Ryan. Great job.

[@RyanKao]

My pleasure!

Getting back to the source! 💪🏻

[@RyanKao]

Always trying my man!!

[@IvanP]

I love this! It's without a doubt that we, creatives, need to pause at some point in order to "just be". Great job on showing it through a visual journey, Ryan!

[@RyanKao]

Yes! Thank you!

[@WestonWoodfin]

Sometimes picking up the camera without any expectation or plan can lead to the greatest and most creative results.

[@RyanKao]

Exactly bro 🙏

[@lukasmargesin5756]

the thing is we always focus on the numbers... but they make us forget why we started with it in the first place. And if the numbers show no growth we get frustrated as I do a lot lately. Great video! Thank you!

[@RyanKao]

Well said!

[@saadajmal]

great video mate

Glad you enjoyed

[@njamfilms2586]

I’m jealous 😅

[@FunLowBlock]

Amazing video, man. Wouldn’t expect production companies with multi-million budgets to produce videos of this quality. And you’re refreshingly honest with your thoughts. Seriously talented, my man. 👌🏽

[@RyanKao]

Thats such a kind compliment. I really appreciate your support. I aim to be as honest as possible!!!

[@FunLowBlock]

@@RyanKao You’re welcome 👊🏽 Will always support talent, passion, and honesty - traits of any great creator

[@lucapauul4616]

broo those vibes were insane ! hope ur doing good ;)

[@RyanKao]

Thanks! You too!

[@typical-wizard]

Nice message about the present moment. What are your thoughts about 24p and judder? Since most displays run at 60 hz, 24 FPS footage will display every 3rd frame or so for 20% less time (something like that) than the other frames. Creating a subconscious jitter to the playback timing. Most people can’t perceive it but I notice it. It doesn’t happen if the display is running at 48 Hz, or 120 Hz though.

[@film_sole]

Dope videos bro 🤙🏽

[@RyanKao]

Glad you like them!

[@film_sole]

Any tips for me how to be stay motivated making vids ?

[@JackyLi]

Back to the roots where we just want shoot to just shoot, nothing else. Oh yes, we need that bts content.

[@RyanKao]

Exactly man.

[@jacobzatorsky]

Ryan: Let me just pick up my camera... Me: Planning, shot list, script, lighting, camera settings.... (and coming not even close)😂 🤫 Great video! Seeing your growth always keeps me motivated, that one day I will be able to 'just' pick up a camera a produce such masterpieces

[@RyanKao]

So great to hear! It’s not always easy man but don’t give up. Lol

[@dev__life]

Yea bro...i can totally relate this video.... ❤️❤️❤️ Much love from india.... Keep creating and keep inspiring.... Lot of people started making videos after saw your passion ❤️❤️❤️🎥🎥🎥 I'm also making

Much love brother!

[@forthegloryproductions]

Hey man! I've been following your content for a year now. I had no clue you used Canva i have it myself and use it for my brand. Love the video! I shoot on Z Cam but the Blackmagic Pocket 6K also looks amazing.

[@RyanKao]

Dude Canva is so amazing, seems simple but it’s crazy useful. Thanks man

[@lodicastillo1212]

Ryan your color grading has gotten so good M8. Any tips/tutorials you watched on how to get better at color grading in Davinci Resolve?

[@RyanKao]

Ayy thank you!! I’ll have a video about resolve and grading soon!

[@PeterKae]

I guess most people in this youtube filmmaking industry started because of the sake of recognition. What is fully ok as long as you are aware of it it. If you watch some BHS of for example Steven Spielberg you can trully see a intrinsic motivated filmmaker.

[@TylerHansenVideo]

So fucking good!

[@RyanKao]

Yoooo thanks man!

why is every camera guy just a recycle of the other "known" camera guys. no one really likes to push boudaries and create something that they can call their ""own"" style
