How to find inspiration for video projects

[@SamNewton]

Crazy that you're telling me where to go to get inspired when your channel is where I go to get inspired

[@DannyGevirtz]

Thanks man ❤️❤️

[@chunmanf]

Two of my bookmarked creators inspiring each other ✌🏼

[@JustusStew]

You make me feel like I suck, in the healthiest way possible!! Thanks for constantly pushing me further!

[@DannyGevirtz]

Haha thanks man

[@Eyeofkamau]

😂

[@Zenen_Saneshige]

This… every single Danny video… I suck

[@gordonfeng8398]

As a filmmaker myself I definitely resonate with you about being anxious before starting a project. After some self-evaluation, I realized that this anxiousness actually comes from uncertainties and worries about not being perfect. But just as you said at the end, we've finished so many impressive works already, and we're still the same or even better composers. So just lose the pressure of pursuing perfection, and be yourself as a creative and open-minded videographer :)

[@DannyGevirtz]

Absolutely man!

[@mary_ngugi_cooper]

Can not wait to see this ! Thanks so much for coming to see us in Kenya Danny.

[@DannyGevirtz]

Ayyy! Can’t wait to show you everything we captured

[@todoli_jacopo]

U are my reference filmmaker, I love u so much Danny! Thanks u!

[@SooDamGood]

self-doubt can really eat someone alive. Positive thoughts man, keep at it!

[@Tonellacam]

I love that at 2 minutes when you were like going through someones videos , and its your videos for me , I ve been watching a lot of your BTS shots which are such great tutorials , Im shooting a video next wknd thats totally an inspiration from your biking vid , except my buddy is long boarding across Canada !

[@DannyGevirtz]

Awesome good luck!

[@Ameliaisabellazachariassen]

You inspire me to start trying out myself. I’m AMAZED about your journey and preserverence, and I turn to you whenever I’m in a “production high” to stay motivated. Thank you for that

[@DannyGevirtz]

Amazing to hear that

[@simply.piyush]

I was literally looking for references for my next project and this just popped up. IT IS BECAUSE OF YOUR PASSION PROJECT’s that I trust myself a little more to pull off the ideas I’ve been wanting to create since the past 6 years. I don’t know if you’ll ever read this or no. I’m so so grateful that you do what you do. Love you Danny. Godspeed ✨❤️🚀

[@DannyGevirtz]

Amazing man! Love you!

[@alessandrocitterio]

I've been to Kenya as well last October to shoot a project about Marathon Runners. I'll be back this year as well, this time with a clearer idea about what to do since my first trip was more run&gun, without any clue of what I was doing. Can't wait to see what you're working on!

[@DannyGevirtz]

Oh nice man! Goodluck on the return trip

[@WriteFilmEdit]

You're on our bookmark list! And I'm sure a lot of others as well. Actually came to your page today to get some inspiration for editing a short (how ironic to come to this video), so keep on doing exactly what you're doing Danny! We ♥you!

[@DannyGevirtz]

Haha amazing! Glad you found it

[@bundy254]

Kenya is a very beautiful country and you are in luck since we are in the rainy season Yesss am kenyan too😋😋😋, so the weather is on your side. I am sure there will be some cloud cover so filming is definitely going to be fun.Food is a must-try. To be precise, ''UGALI'' (cooked maize flour until firm) and some fried goat meat. Watching with interest what you film in that part of my country...

[@troybedenbaugh]

Bro, the "I feel like that's a different person" feeling is so real

[@DannyGevirtz]

Haha for sure man

[@TacoBel]

You do not suck at makug videos! Lol. I love the fact that your stories are so RAW, well produced but (at least seem) accurate to your true emotions. The very fact that you added that clip containing a blatant typo instead of using a different take goes to show that. You have taught me so much and I thank you for that. I feel what you were mentioning in the intro at least (as far as I am when wrighting this). Finding inspiration can sometimes just suck. Often it is when I least expect it that I come up with an actual video idea that I can legit do that fits with the style of content I want to do.

[@DannyGevirtz]

Thanks man 🫶🏻

[@WyndVisuals]

loved the advice in this video but what i loved even more is that i'm pretty sure we have matching hats from kilauea point in kauai!

[@DannyGevirtz]

Shhh don’t tell anyone

[@ninoydayritvideoworks]

THIS IS INSPIRING. HAVE BEEN A HUGE FAN. THANKS FOR THIS.

[@michael14848]

Dude, so glad to know that even someone with a body of work like yours, you get the same feelings we all do 😂 keen to see Kenya EDIT: Just secured my first brand gig after being inspired by your work dude! Thanks legend.

[@DannyGevirtz]

Ay congrats man!

[@josephvanoye]

Thank you Danny for this video, I'm currently in pre-production for a spec ad. This is exactly what I needed to give myself a confident boost to trust myself. Much love from Texas.

[@DannyGevirtz]

Goodluck on it man!

[@BryceDocherty]

Dude I feel the same way each time I start something. I watch my other stuff and I'm like, how did I make that? I don't know if I can pull it off again. Constant doubt is a thing I've just gotten over as time goes on. Cause if I fail it doesn't really matter because I tried. I already feel complete knowing I have the ability to be the filmmaker I want to be, and that's enough for me. Thanks, bubsy doodle doink. Love you.

[@DannyGevirtz]

Thanks Bryce!

[@chunmanf]

Thanks for always being an inspiration for all of us filmmakers out there! Love the new blueish tint color grade too 😎

[@DannyGevirtz]

Thanks man! Just trying something new

Always love your work Danny. For me, finding inspiration is easy. I just make movies about interesting things happening around me. No story is too small.

Amen!

[@jaymeshargrove]

Thanks for always being a source of inspiration Danny

[@DannyGevirtz]

Of course man. Thanks for always tuning in

[@tomaszmalek612]

Thanks Danny! any chance you could share a list of your inspiration bookmarks?

[@calebstasko]

Music bed has the Ai powered search now!?? Cannot wait to use this. Finding the exact song I want is the bane of my existence… well of my editing process.

[@DannyGevirtz]

Yeah it’s been nice!

[@thefruitfulforeman]

Finding inspo is one of favourite parts of the prep process. Great video man!

Thanks for inspiring, man! You're gigant and I love you too, dude!

[@pirii88]

Wow soo good content! I‘ve one big question, what’s the brand of your hat? I really really love the size and style of it, but can’t find something similar in this shape. Pretty much any standard snapback is too big for me, but your hat looks so good.

[@kevinmcgrath6391]

Will you be at west chester film festival this weekend?

[@Dolphinitely1999]

are you still digging the 1/4 black satin ? are you using it for your talking head in this vid? Im on the fence , but the look of this is great ! im looking for a more subtle less bloomy effect then my 1/8 black pro mist gives

Does this video count as a source of inspiration for my next project? haha love all the points you made here Danny, especially about music!

[@DannyGevirtz]

Haha I believe it could!

[@anthonycorcino6700]

Hey I've been inspired by your work for awhile, and borrowed alot of your shots😆

[@DannyGevirtz]

Haha nice man!

[@ckhicks]

Super helpful, thanks mate!

[@greatsiaman4867]

technical question, the video that you record to yourself is made with a black pro mist right ? was it 1/8 or 1/4 ?

[@jackstradinger]

Hey Danny I really like how on your website you have gifs playing as the covers of all your projects. How did you achieve this?

[@DannyGevirtz]

Thanks dude! It’s my secret sauce

[@9houseArt]

Love the colors in this video! Is this edited with one of your LUTs?

[@DannyGevirtz]

Was trying something new with my talking head but b roll is

[@9houseArt]

@@DannyGevirtz The talking head colors look great. Would love to see how you did that!

[@DLivingston]

I see you're not selling the Sydney Lut anymore? Reason for that? Am I just missing the page?

[@DannyGevirtz]

Just a conflict of interest happening since it was a sponsored video. Can send to you if you want

[@DLivingston]

@@DannyGevirtz I appreciate it! I already purchased it before it was gone. Had someone ask me about a clip I used it on and I had mentioned I used that lut and was going to send them the link to purchase.

[@anasg2419]

I believe your style would be perfect for horror projects like "The Monster: Jeffrey Dahmer Series." The cinematography and scenes in that series resemble your style, particularly evident in your short film "I Like Your Pants." I would love to watch more of that type

[@DannyGevirtz]

Haha thanks man!

[@Childrenoflightprod_]

This was helpful Danny!!

[@DannyGevirtz]

Glad to hear!

I know this is random Danny. But Jesus loves you so much, You are enough and you are doing an amazing job inspiring many. Keep that in mind.

[@Imageyenation]

Good pointers Danny but i heard you say something and I’m wondering how one would know this ahead of time? You said women are expected to be more reserved in that country. How would you know that, say if you’ve never been? I know you were in Uganda and that’s probably how you know, but that is definitely something one would need to know before interviewing or filming women. Just peaked my curiosity.

[@DannyGevirtz]

I did a pre interview with our lead subject who started the group. I also just knew from knowing some of the history of East African countries

[@Imageyenation]

@@DannyGevirtz thanks for replying. Planning goes deeper than you think.
