HOW TO FILM YOURSELF

[@358Narada]

The most incredible part of this whole amazing masterpiece for me is at no point was I sold anything. Which on youtube is almost unheard of. There was no cheap plugs and no one was shouting at me to get this "one thing that will make my videos amazing". Truly an authentic experience. Much love!!

[@joekaprod]

I mean, he did shout out the one tripod that he uses that almost every KZbinr and influencer was promoting at one point but he didn’t focus on it too much so I get what you mean 😅

[@theblooodsport]

@@joekaprodit’s good to appreciate things that you use but not directly imposing on someone… the video is impactful, you can now choose to be curious on gears he used.

[@Lunatic-Beleren]

i get you bro just wait as every other “content creator” solds himself and promotes atleast 1-3x per video, but until then i am watching! I hate it so much, i bought YT premium years ago just to not see ads but then everytime i watch some videos i need to be prepared to skip promotions inside the video like wtf..

[@358Narada]

@@Lunatic-Beleren yup. No ad breaks. No squares pace or artlist. And even the tripod was featured, but in a way that implied its what they use, and not necessarily what you should go out and buy right away. I actually get it. Sponsorships and affiliate sales let them get paid to keep making content, but this video was a breath of fresh air. I feel like I learnt way more than if the sole purpose was to sell me specific products.

[@Tre_Notes]

That’ll change once he gets more and more exposure, maybe even land some brand deals/sponsorships and what not. 😂

[@pigreatlor]

the best creators are when they are small and you watch it instantly go "daaaaaamn" which doesnt happen often, sir you done it

[@Blake-pk3zy]

THIS is SMALL?!?! Dang.

[@Blake-pk3zy]

THIS is SMALL?!?! Dang.

[@MotionTH_]

Bro this is literally the definition of art, get this man the exposure he deserves

[@sjoerdsiemes]

He is very big on insta and tiktok though

Brother I cant express it. A master class in under 8 minutes. People pay 50 grand to spend 2 years studying this and don't get as good a lesson as this video you've made. Kudos, and thank you.

[@danaques]

Well said! Totally agree 👍🏽

[@mitchmues]

Enjoy the intimacy while it lasts people. This brother is exploding this year for sure! 👌🏽

[@lbrtvlldr]

I just discovered Karl's channel. I'm surprised he has under 100k subs after 5 YEARS of posting videos. Did his content get good only recently?

[@mitchmues]

@@lbrtvlldr in my opinion he has be nailing his craft for over 3 years now but definitely became legendary over the last year. He hasn’t been rewarded for his work as much as he deserves but I feel a tipping point is coming. 🚀

[@finnjuniperdenaro]

What a strange COmpliment... Maybe Intimacy's his thang...

[@tanksfornothin]

This was DISTGUSTINGLY well made. The quality was inspiring tbh, so thanks and maximum props.

[@TuckerDoss]

Absolutely insane man. The level of work you put into this is wild

[@KarlShakur]

Honestly so much work. I’m exhausted. Gotta start scripting the next one

No, it’s hard work, it’s not talent

[@josmerymusic9089]

Holy smokes I just stumbled upon beautiful art for the sake of art and artists. This almost never happens on YT. A miracle!

[@AlecWilcock]

This is incredible. I've never seen so much effort and talent put into a single KZbin tutorial. You are raising the bar.

[@binaryblue5506]

This is a fact... !

[@cristianbetschart7564]

This video made me realize that if you are passionate about something the feeling that you give to whoever is what is worth whatever price you can give to the art

[@kodak.asthma.attack]

"You gotta be theatric because this is the arts!" LOVE this. The too-cool-for-school content creator trope can be so paralyzing to fit into when getting started with this

[@tomasziobrowski]

We can all say together ‘THIS IS THE BEST KZbin VIDEO EVER!’

[@Thebernsteinexperience]

I almost never leave a comment…but I have to this time. This video reignited a passion I forgot that I had, and honestly did nothing short of inspire me. The way you included elements of film making into the explanation of film making with seemingly such ease feels almost like an inside joke that I felt I was in on (even though I’ve never met you or seen your videos before). I genuinely don’t know how this video could have been better. Bravo.

[@isabellamagdalena1270]

THIS IS ABSOLUTELY CINEMA!!!BLOVE IT!! AMAZING CONTENT AND QUALITY

[@Sven_Wolters]

visual & storytelling masterclass

[@luz-celestemagana4343]

this video alone got me so excited to start practicing filming

[@barrymsibi6508]

that "shoot from the shadow side" shot and edit was a killer flame. This video just showed that you're onto the next level. Most unique from all the other videos you have - a build up to this powerful transcendence of creativity.

[@islandwiderealty808]

This is my first video from this dude and I’m expecting this every time now going forward lol😂

[@EuphoricPentagram]

Holy shit!! This just gave me a new found appreciation for the craft of filmmaking!

[@Jerellaj]

"People who can't do, teach instead" has to be the most incorrect thing when it comes to this video. wow 🤩

[@nopurpose2148]

For real.. I was pulled in the minute it started all the way till the end!!!

[@GenreparHazard-pe2qc]

I was pulled in, dove into comments and will now go back and pay attention, thank you

[@BoostyMoose]

This video is a gold mine for new videocreators. I can't grasp all the advice I got just yet.. I need some time to process and I also need to watch it a few more times

[@dj-fz8ye]

this is the best video i’ve ever laid my eyes upon. absolute greatness man, i can’t wait to say i knew you before everyone on the internet found this masterpiece.

[@thesaintsofkulture4402]

I typed in the search bar "how to shoot self video for youtube " to help me get over this creative paralysis. Yours was the first one I clicked on because I felt that it was going to be a passion driven perspective, I was so right. This was brilliant, I was so happy to be at the learning tree. Masterful explanation and videography. I'm going to have to watch it a few more time to get past my slack jaw and start absorbing knowledge and technique. Its going to be a pleasure to watch your rise. Bingo.

[@heyjonjoebailey]

this is 100% the type of creative ideas i have in my head. your eye for this style is impeccable.

[@shiivainu9442]

I am almost 30 years old and often feel like I’m past the point of my best creative years. I do recognize the passion and creativity in you, though, and that is just amazing. Sometimes, I feel too old for certain mediums like making videos or choosing trending songs. But it was a nice thing to hear when you said “choose whatever speaks to you”. A very good reminder to just be true to myself.

[@BayouBarbie504]

Hey girl! I know you posted this a while ago. I how your creative medium is coming out. You’re never too old to do anything that’s in your heart. I’m 38 and started rollerblading again. I’m here because I’m picking up photography. You don’t know how long you’ll have your full faculties, don’t waste them.

[@misterbeyy]

3:15 bro chopped the onion without peeling it. You have my full respect.

[@mwanzacreation]

The visual metaphor is really captivating in this video. Only with planning can such a masterpiece be created.

[@ChristianSchaffer]

I started watching this while editing and it completely drew me in to the point that I didn’t want it to end. You sir, are a MASTER at your craft 🔪

[@ElleSeDanniTV]

I love how you broke this process down in such a simple and straight forward way. Truly helpful to a new youtuber who wants to be a good visual story teller.

[@marcvigram]

KARL! This is a masterpiece on how to deliver knowledge trough the coolest way possible! BRAVO!

[@flexjones1983]

Bro, I was watching this video and thinking to myself " great info, so at anytime now you will start selling your course, But no noting, not one link." and bro this video was on point.

[@isakjetbean]

I subbed to you a year or two ago, it is INSANE you don't have a larger viewbase on here. You have, by far, the most distinct style with which you convey your ideas, and without leaning on cliches. Just so goddamn good

[@orionmars1027]

This was genuinely one of the greatest educational videos I have ever seen, it went over so much in such a captivating way that I never once lost interest and retained the information, plus the production was insaneee

Insane level of quality in these vids, literally watching a movie (more thought out and better scripted than most Hollywood films) about how to make movies of yourself. Keep it up man 🙏

I can’t even fucking move cause this is so good!

[@virtualtourpa]

oh. my. gosh. This video is absolute FIRE 🔥🔥🔥This is inspiring. I think one of the biggest takeaways is that STORY MATTERS. And in order to tell a good story, you can't just pull it out of your a$$. It takes planning. And planning takes WORK. So often we see a piece on KZbin and fail to recognize the many hours it took of hustle and grind to put something like this together. Absolutely brilliant. Keep up the great work.

[@rollwolf9767]

3:48 what's this effect called ?

This is an excellent video. I'm a new vlogger, and I came here for some basic information and ended up with a higher education. This gentleman is a full-blown cinematic director. 👏🏾 🙌🏾 👌🏾

[@tatertimeofficial]

When I was younger, I wanted to be a music video director. MTV stopped showing videos on the primary channel & I thought the videos would die off soon after. Obvi before KZbin and views counting towards consumption. I'm now moving to Nashville to pursue songwriting & would love to still be involved with the videos attached w/ the songs somehow. Your video has fired my ass up. I will follow your steps and I'll work my ass off to become what I once dreamt of. This is the beginning, the journey starts now. Thank you, I really mean that. Thank you for this inspiration...
