How Gawx Recreates Hollywood in His Bedroom

[@GawxArt]

I’m honored to be part of this. Thank you so much for having me ❤️

[@creativejargons]

Needed this! ❤

[@casey.taylor]

We've been wanting an interview like this from you Gawx for a long time! Thank you for willingly sharing your secrets and ways with us. I look forward to watching your first feature film and everything else leading up to it! Would love to see more vlog/bts content too if you are willing. God bless !

[@CrazyCoolStudiosTV]

You really talk like that I thought it was part of the gig but that’s your real voice! 😂 🙌🏽

[@charlesrosario9934]

Tienes un visión de don sigues adelante mi bro ojalá podemos crear algo en el futuro 💫

[@TM-nc2lf]

So humble to share your skills

[@GriffinMagleby]

I hope to see a full length gawx film someday

[@jinmactravish3209]

Me too.

[@_Corbs_]

Me too.

[@RoleyFilms]

Me too.

[@NathanielLampa]

Me too.

[@joaovictorpessoaqueiroz4783]

Me too.

[@fauxdauteur]

Gawx's skillset could be a whole college degree: Illustration, Studio Art, Digital Media, Cinematography, Sound Design, Visual Storytelling, Video Editing, Marketing, Fashion Design, etc. He's BY FAR, the most impressive multimedia artist I've ever had the pleasure of watching on KZbin. He's going to be held in the same esteem as the likes of Takashi Murakami and KAWS one day. I can't wait to see what he does in the future!

[@josephchristoffel]

Don't forget, his gears set also impresive.

[@gudelis2171]

He draws well too

[@shadowsengaming602]

He's so good, very underrated artist

[@DrHomerPro]

And he is only a kid 😭 2003 wtf that was yesterday

[@UnluckyGorilla]

Gawx just doesn’t understand how many people he’s inspired. This kid’s got a bright future. If he’s doing all this out of his bedroom, I can’t wait to see what he does in a ‘professional’ setting

[@mohammednashmi-1111]

He will eat the whole Hollywood if he gets a professional setting and a team🔥

[@Satysatonachair]

Tbh, it might kill his creativity to be in a "professional" setting.

[@CrossCultureStudios]

Gaux is a great example of a person letting the “art” lead the way. He knows what he likes but isn’t worried about the science behind it. No histograms, no metering, just a hard working creative individual who nails the look! Awesome!

[@hirohayashi4819]

Dude is the Tarantino of content creation

[@cr8withnate]

AGREED!!!!

[@lana_del_Rei.neet-]

i really cant tell if thats an insult or a compliment

[@dad_bored]

1. I didn’t want this to end 2. Spot on Jack for asking the most exact qns 3. Cant believe how geeked out i was for this interview 😂

[@foxbritten]

Jack your conversations have become my film school, these are some of the most compelling interviews / deconstructions. First watch is for fun, second is for notes.

[@evhblogspot]

Same!!

[@eli90s13]

Such a humble genius. So young, but he's definitely one of the biggest influences in the online film world. So many have tried to recreate his shots and his style it's actually wild. Not to mention the many people that are starting their journey into the world of cinematography now, most always start their journey watching Gawx videos.

[@eli90s13]

Also the Serr shout out is important! Lol I knew he'd mention him. Serr is also where everyone into that filmic look start off at. He's truly helped out SO much in the world of color grading.

[@quankstories]

It's like talking to the actor, the director, the producer, the camera operator , the photographer, the sound engineer,... at the same time. Everything he said is so well described and detailed, he is so will to expose all his secrets.

[@in0711]

This is not only a dope series. What really makes it for me is the authentic excitement and interest of the host. The way he really asks about every detail and geeks out over it. Really love that.

[@GeorgeHolden]

This is SO SICK, there are even more tricks than I could have imagined. Hats off to Gawx and his family for creating some of the best videos on KZbin

[@devinnewbyart]

The thing I love about your videos with these creators is that you literally stop and ask ALL of the questions that I have in my head and give ALL the same praises that I wish I could give to them. Every single question I am curious about you ask no matter how often you have to stop the video. I first came across your channel with your Natalie Lynn video and saw a comment complaining about how much you stop the video, but please NEVER change! The questions you ask and the follow ups these questions lead to are INVALUABLE to viewers like me! Every single video, I feel like I'm getting access to a masterclass, and it's all FOR FREE! You're a LEGEND!

[@DominusFeles]

Word!

[@marlomtube]

True

[@hiimty1]

It’s so refreshing to know that the guy who makes the best looking videos on KZbin does not use histograms/waveforms or follow any of the rules that other creators force down our throats ..I needed to hear this. Thanks Gawx! Ur a true inspiration

[@emanuelcarvalho8510]

it is so touching that his family helps him a lot with the videos, it shows that they care about his craft and are willing to see (and help) him grow as someone who don't have that much of incentive from my family, it makes me very happy to see that there are families that make sure to support their creative children :"")

[@JornadaGv]

*Lessons:* 00:00 Gawx uses meticulous detail in his videos, creating cinematic images with simple objects like skateboards and duct tape. 00:58 Gawx's attention to detail and dedication stand out, making his videos exceptional and unique on KZbin. 02:02 Gawx explains his motion tracking process using After Effects to create dynamic and surprising titles in his videos. 03:33 The process of motion tracking and adding titles to the video takes about 40 minutes to an hour. 04:58 The fog effect in your videos is achieved with a fog machine, taking advantage of the natural lighting from the window. 08:02 Gawx uses Adobe Audition and a Blue Yeti microphone to record voice and synchronize movements in videos. 09:02 Gawx performs the main edit in Premiere, transferring to DaVinci Resolve for color correction and then completing the process in Premiere. 11:59 In some scenes, Gawx uses a C-stand on skateboards to get specific angles and camera movements. 13:58 Gawx creates nostalgic atmospheres with controlled use of fog, adjusting colors in post-production using his visual intuition. 15:29 Exposure is adjusted visually, using the exposure function in Sony's FX3 to maintain the desired style, even when slightly overexposed. 16:28 Gawx uses skateboards to create camera movements, facing stabilization challenges that are corrected in post-production with Premiere. 17:56 Gawx explains his obsession with detail, dedicating hours to editing to achieve perfection, even with a low posting frequency. 19:28 Gawx's parents are musicians, contributing to the selection of classic soundtracks in his videos, adding a cinematic feel. 21:28 The transition showing time passing with different drawings is achieved with a motorized slider and careful matching of cuts in editing. 23:28 Gawx prefers a chronological approach, mixing editing, production and post-production when creating videos, resulting in unique details and shots. 25:27 A notable masked transition is created in Premiere, highlighting the importance of light motivation in footage. 28:48 Gawx's iconic sequence, moving a camera mounted on a magic arm attached to a marker, reveals his creativity and inspiration in music videos. 30:46 A timelapse from 2022 is incorporated into the video, highlighting the use of a NEEWER motorized slider in timelapse mode, even under limited budget conditions. 32:18 Scenes with wide backgrounds and light focus are created with simple resources in his room, demonstrating Gawx's creativity in the setting of his filming. 32:49 Gawx uses cell phone-controlled lights to create dynamic effects, adding visual layers to your footage. 33:19 Gawx incorporates film grain into its scenes using DaVinci Resolve during color correction, giving each clip a unique aesthetic. 34:23 The rotation of a notebook in mid-air is achieved with separate filming techniques, combining a background and notebook action through editing and color correction. 35:26 Gawx's musical choice is intuitive, trying out several options until he finds the one that perfectly fits the moment in the video. 36:25 Gawx emphasizes the importance of experience and experimentation when creating videos, highlighting that effective use of lighting and composition transforms simple scenes into something interesting.

[@monarchi_ves7013]

Godbless you. I hope everything goes ur way ugh thanks for this

[@mandyiswhatsup]

10:16 is when he talks about what he uses to record sound. thanks for posting this!

[@shadowsengaming602]

Gawx is very undderated, ive always been his fan since day one, his art his video is so amazing

[@teocrawford]

Absolute legend! It is a privilege to be able to listen to this breakdown, thank you two!

[@GawxArt]

You’re such an inspo Teo

[@eli90s13]

29:00 is SO funny hahaha. I still remember when these videos came out, and I was in a bunch of film forums and so many people were discussing how he does his marker shots. It's so hilarious hearing him explain what we sat around trying to figure out for days LOL. I still remember someone called it perfectly and explained how he also does those shots where he toses the marker up.

[@ItsCaptainAllan]

I came across this channel today, and I must say that the host is probably the best interviewer in the world, literally. Man, I love how you are specific to the core with your questions and supplementing everything with lower third notes, pictures and all reference materials anyone could imagine. Very much love from Kenya. I bet I gotta grab some snacks and kick off from the first video. See you later guys. I got a bunch of content to watch. Much love from Kenya, East Africa. Big up to GAWAX!

[@vk69525]

Its GAWX not GAWAX

[@boniman]

Gawx is genius for sure. But Jack is also a genius for asking questions that were just in my mind! Jack 👍👍👍👍

[@karlInSanDiego]

Great interview and really insightful to see Gus break down all his techniques. Thanks to both of you for taking the time to show us all how the magic comes together.

[@ghostiemedicine]

the way his mind works is so incredible, he's so talented and hardworking it's mindblowing really, not to mention the amount of patience and determination he has to actually finish videos!

[@vihodanyet]

Appreicate you ask all the important questions! Super useful for the viewer

[@KristophTy]

This is called RAW TALENT... Dude has no real idea about all the politically correct mumbo jumbo. He just knows art, and creativity. Its like a person who can just hear a song, pick up an instrument and play it. Dude uses his eyes and his own opinions on what he believes looks good... Respect 🙏🏿

[@AvaGreenwell-y1l]

weird comment… ideas (or lack there of) about politically correct mumbo jumbo has literally no relevance whatsoever

[@aldoamine]

Been a fan of Gawx for a year now, I just loved this episode and jack's questions are so good it makes it feel natural and informative.

[@mlegrand]

You could only break down a minute because of the massive work that goes into each minute of his work. So stoked to watch this one!!! 🙌

[@jemlang]

This is a masterclass in showing that gear doesn't matter. Creativity comes from the limitations and having an open mind to just try.

[@karthikssajay3058]

That's why he is the legend, the GOAT👑

[@sbencer_]

dude I love how relatable the self taught explanations are- 'uh yeah I don't use histograms I get confused I kinda just adjust until it looks good' THIS IS THE FUTURE OF THE CREATIVE WORKFORCE I STG hahaha

[@TenHundred]

Really cool! So awesome to hear the behind the scenes stories of how Gawx makes his masterpieces!

[@GawxArt]

Much love

[@amiralivisuals]

This is the perfect example of giving a person their flowers the attention to detail you did in this vid highlighting almost every shot and letting @gawx explain his process is amazing thank you for doing this with the man himself !

[@KelzVisuals]

You missed noticing his eye lightening up at the beginning when he opened the door to get the package 📦 at his door .. Gawx is great he has inspired me for long

[@jaaanai]

I was thinking the same thing. Had to put it back, thinking I saw a glare on my screen.

[@DoFurther]

Almost like Sin City movie effect

[@stickah]

*i swear gawx it's like one of the coolest persones i've ever known about.*

[@albaegilmez]

Thank you soo much for such an informative video with @GawxArt; I have got couple of hesitations about my photography style, their colour correction/grading etc. and I always wonder what his video shooting workflow/process is. Because his videos esp. in his 2nd channel Gawx2 have inspired me so deeply, the colour grading, theme of the videos and the music chooses are like jigsaw puzzle, complementary for each other. These stuffs reminded me that I have got lots stuff that I wanna say by my photos. That is why I am back to retake some photos and put something from myself. Thanks again…

[@ChaseWize]

watching this was huge for helping me understand how to start taking these directions. Love Gawxs art and Videos but the excitement u show talking to him about it was nice to see. Could tell how much you love the art of cinematography

[@megantanhweewen]

U did him so much justice thank you so much ❤❤❤ GAWX FTW

[@ozgurgokmen3162]

As a follower of Gawx from Turkey, I can't tell you how happy I am with this video. because gawx is a great source of inspiration for me and I am very happy that he shared his video making process in this way. thank you for this video. 🙏🏻

[@Benr2]

This is ALL I NEED thank you so much! This are the best 38 minutes i have spent in my entire life!

[@starrprince_Live]

Feeling so too❤

[@bardagger]

I really like the format of the interview. It feels really natural and organic, sort of improvised at some points. It gives a lot of natural effect to it, its like a podcast + tutorial 2.0 kind of mix ! We get to know the subject, and to learn from the timeline at the same time. BRAVO! (The quality of the creators you bring to the show makes it easier)

[@antonzavarzin7208]

Holy shit i can watch this forever

[@ddellan]

Maaaaaaaaaaaan!!! this interview is insane! Moreee like this and about @Gawxart ❤‍🔥

[@Chyahh]

love it when the interviewer is a nerd too its so fun to see how much fun it is for both of you

[@IgorLinkin]

You can see how excited he is to talk about his work with a person that really understands and appreciates all the small details he's put into it. Such a cool thing to watch. Most of us won't ever be so driven like this young man. ❤

[@bodnarbulcsu]

Man, I love this video. You are not afraid to ask really basic questions to help the audience REALLY understand what is going on. Also the little sidenotes are very helpful every time a professional wording comes up. Keep up the good work!

[@imDonDiestro]

Jacks excitement, love, and respect for the craft makes him the perfect host.

[@КонстантинМисявичус]

I think that this kind of humble and sincere analysis with the artist himself (huge one, maybe, the most huge young artist in 2020s) brings a lot of faith to beginner artists in themselves.

[@CamGuerilla]

Jack, just love how passionate you are in your interviews and how you vibe with your interviewees.

[@DesignDrawDo]

THANK YOU FOR THIS!!! I have been wanting to know Gawx's secrets forever, this is perfect

[@V1ZNS.]

Thank you for this interview and introducing me to this young genius.

[@HernanMtz]

Thank you Jack for asking the exact questions we all want!! Couldn't believe how precise this was

[@vincyagain]

God this interview is such a gem. Learned so much from him. What a creative lad

[@Gepardii]

Thank you so much for doing this ❤

[@VeroniqaThomasFilm]

Always appreciated the attention to detail that Gawx has in his videos! They feel like a privilege to watch for free!

[@ThatOtherAkshat]

You know, as artists we tend to fixate on the 'right gear' and the 'perfect way to go about this' etc. But the fact that someone like Gawx can make masterpieces with shit that literally is spewed across his house (like the towel as a green screen 34:10) really tells you to just get started and figure it out as it goes. Love the video, Jack. Absolutely loving your breakdowns.

[@Emefak]

Wow. I didn't know about this channel, but as many other people I'm an addict to Pomplamoose's studio Shorts, so I was already a fan of Jack. It's really great to see how passionate and genuinely interested into Gawx work he is, and how he literally makes the exact questions that many of us would love to do. And Gawx openly answering them, sharing all that knowledge and staying humble. Great content, thank you for sharing it!

[@DaviesKaluba-yk5zs]

MMMMM this guy is genius, i had a lot of questions in my mind when i first watched him but thanks for the interview he has explained most of my questions.

[@LosantoBeats]

@22:00 I think a lot of what makes it feel like time has passed its that it looks like some of the shots have "cold" lighting and the others have "warmer" lighting. Almost sugesting passing through the seasons. (Winter, spring, summer etc..)

[@MarioShadbox]

I've watched Gawx's videos since almost the beginning and I was always captivated by his way of filming and editing. I don't draw, I don't make videos, but I was amazed by his style from the beginning. It's great to see how he has grown. Congratulations! great vid Jack!

[@techyady]

I felt like Jack was speaking my words, like if I would have met gwax in person I would also have showed that much of enthusiasm! He's literally an ocean of Creativeness

[@ByThibaud]

Best interview ever. I was dreaming you would meet Gawx and here we are!! Thank you!!

[@kunta_kinte72]

God bless Gawx. I cant believe that he's so open to share his craft like that. Some youtubers cant even share how they do some transitions only to notice that they are some free PP aftereffects.

[@sarahghazi5539]

I remember discovering Gawx and just being ABSOLUTELY mind blown. Everything he does is executed with the finesse of a truly experienced professional. He deserves LOTSA success.

[@voesla12]

it's so nice to listen to gawx's answers. the joy he takes in explaining the processes gives you an idea of how much fun he has with his projects. such a valuable interview. thank you!

[@skyeriouspieceofmind6138]

Kudos to both the interviewer and the guest, your knowledge on film-making made it such an insightful discussion. Amazing!

[@SumFriesWidDat]

There's 10 mins in the video, and I can honestly say, I'd watch HOURS of this. I just didn't want it to end because I've realized that to make something great, you have to put TIME to it. Not a day of filming, not a week, but literally so much time even if it's just for a 5-6 min video. Gawx breaking down everything and sharing his thought process and ideas, inspiration etc, it's so fkn cool to see. Thanks for sharing all of these awesome conversations!!!!!! :D

[@saimorph]

This is an extremely good breakdown of what it takes to film a good video. Thanks for this. Learnt a lot

[@obsidion_sings]

IM SO GLAD GAWX IS GETTING THE LOVE HE DESRVES!!! Ive been a long time fan of his videos and it makes me so happy to see him outside his own channel

[@GodisKing1219]

Been following these dude from the beginning. When he first started. I’m an artist myself and this dude takes perspective to a whole different level. This dude is a genius his videos are amazing to watch.

[@YulsBoyo]

I absolutely adore how Jack gets genuinely excited during the whole breakdown, it’s contagious, literally got me smiling from start to finish. Gawx, you’re inspiring the world !

[@ramonamirzinkeviciene9887]

Just the video I’ve been searching for! Thank you so much for this detailed breakdown! I love how exited and involved the interviewer was with his questions! This is my 1st video on this channel and just subscribed!

[@SeanofAllTrades]

Good to see Serr getting the shoutout he deserves.

[@Jordan_Moore]

Gawx has got to be the most engaging and most likable person on KZbin! Thanks for this amazing insight into the creator behind the creations we all adore!

[@rubencuesta2822]

This type of content, is what it makes you to be creative! WOW this 38 minutes were the most inspirationals of all YT to keep achieving your creative style! Thanks Jack and Gawx.

[@sanniametu6187]

Amazing conversation! Never knew it was this tasking to get those awesome shots we see in Gawx's video!!!!! Now I appreciate them even more😂

[@angelo_knf]

Wow, this is so informative. Big fan of Gawx here, and I always had so many questions about his workflow. His video and editing skills are so impressive and it's very useful to know how he achieve some of these effects. Great video!

[@TheReaper1]

Absolutely love this! Just taking a fraction of his talent with camera work and editing can make a dramatic difference. Awesome to finally get a glimpse behind the scenes!

[@sanenpongen3627]

This is so beautiful and wholesome, seeing someone appreciate every detail from the second the vid started with the best questions ever. Amazing content 👍

[@Blist01]

Finally you’re interviewing gawx! This man is truly changing the playing field for cinematic KZbin.

[@TicketstoToyTime]

Respect! 👏

[@bbacalhau]

Love watching two super talented creators geeking about all the little details! Thank you Jack for this!

[@gibranrgarcia]

Thank you Jack Conte! For making this video possible!! Gawx is one of my favorite filmmakers! Please do Danny Gevirtz next!

[@Porksisiglll]

I'm a fan of Gawx since I don't know when. But It's so good to see the evolution of his videos.

[@fthpfth]

Thanks for this amazing interview!

[@jimrocky]

He knows imperfection so well and he piggybacks back and forth just to make it worth the shot. That's just how his extra mile motivation to finish what he started gives me chills.

[@andrescomparinifilms]

first 40 minutes video of youtube that i actually watch till the end. Simply amazing.

[@CoolScratcher]

You can tell Gawx is a quiet genius. He's a little nervous in this video, I can tell, but he is really a genius.

[@AniketWithACamera]

Wow that was whole crash course on filming. I recently discovered @GawxArt and instantly he become my inspiration and now I just binge-watch his all videos. Thank you Gawx for making videos and adding that much amount of work in your videos. And thank you Jack for bringing him on your channel and asking the exact question we were questioning. It was fun watching the whole video, took some notes too.

[@figjamd]

Real artists don’t wait to get inspired, real artists inspire other people! Gawx you are a genius! It is so nice to watch the next big great director in the making creating his first movies! Thanks @DigitalSpaghetti for this breakdown - learnt so much about this young man and his craftsmanship, was so curious. Gawx is definitely the best KZbinr out there - so creative and so down to earth! I am so happy I found him!

[@cristiam_yake]

21:40 I think the term is elipsis and Gawx it's very creative whit it. I love that scene, this guy is so brilliant.

[@lianjiewang]

This guy is really amazing. I thought he used some high-end equipment and high technology, but I didn't expect to create excellent works with ordinary things and learn from them.

[@Harzhid]

This is what we needed ,And the fact that he knows some people with more attention will appreciate the small details that most will not even notice ,he Makes them appear with even more effort and never feels forced , Always getting inspired from him

[@McVinAddiction]

You know who's the unsung hero behind Gawx's work? Gawx Dad. I wish I have such supportive dad who shares the same vision while being able to have fun with Gawx in the process. Well done Gawx Dad!

[@Ffi_Millo]

Honestly i have got to give it to this channel. I came over from gawx to watch this vid however the interviewer seemed so genuine that i am actually gonna watch more of his vids

[@babaluweng5431]

Huge compliments from Jack downplaying that he's literally the ceo of patreon and a good as artist, i like Poomplamoose. Love GawxArt

[@LitoTho]

Let’s go! Been waiting for a Gawx filmmaking breakdown!!

[@argdiesel]

Mind is blown over and over again at each new technique he brings out and talks about.

[@IMEEMADE]

@Gawxart is amazing for sharing his creative thought process, but for this video Jack is the real MVP for asking the best questions. Exactly what I wanted to ask frame by frame. Thank you for this!!

[@ezy.doesit]

@GawxArt is my favorite artist on youtube, he is multitalented and seems like a great person to hangout! as I have been learning film making, his channel is so inspirational.

[@usamatouqeer3883]

great video, but i cant be the only who repeatedly watched gawx videos to know all of this stuff already. Man puts so much effort in every single second its mind blowing
