How To Kickstart Your Filmmaking Career

[@mattih]

Check out the doc and if you can/want donate to help these guys! I'd love for the whole Travel Feels community to come together and help them out 🙌

[@HenryLloydPolitics]

TravelFeels EOS M giveaway, was meant to be Friday, then Monday, and it's now Tuesday but still no answer

[@thatsbenkc]

dude, he announce it at last video. Title: MOST underrated camera of 2017

[@shenlong9138]

vimeo is blocked in my country T_T

[@julienmilan]

TravelFeels the documentary is really really nice !

[@jdweyd]

Awsome Documentary! I think he should upload it to youtube also to get more people to watch it. I shared it but vimeo does not work in some countries and also has a very limited audience. Keep up with the good work.

[@fknight]

Thank you for the absolute best advice. I didn’t realize how much I’d like making videos until I actually started my KZbin channel, but this is the same advice I give to my viewers. You have to build your own personal projects to learn how to develop applications. You can look at tutorials all day but until you implement those things in real life, you’ll never get better. I can’t wait to get into more cinematic film creation, but I’m building my base viewership right now. My niche is difficult to have cinematic type videos, but I’m working on it.

[@mattih]

Yea man you just gotta get into it!

[@DaleRoossien]

Just watched the film, the whole doc...the emotion, the vibe, the story, the tragedy, and the hope and empathy of these people. The handheld shots, the grade, sound design, just the whole damn thing...brilliant! well done, and hats off to you guys, you should be proud of the work, not to mention the fact that making this "passion project" in the first place just raises awareness to the whole situation. Sometimes I think we as "content creators" get too caught up in selfish pursuits online, and want to "grow" our "brand", and get more views, clicks, etc...But in this case, its all for the true greater good of humanity...this is filmmaking, and you guys nailed it...big-time.

[@JackStolz]

Just watched the doc and wow. I can't believe those guys are doing so much good with discarded and donated gear. I love what you did Mark. You're incredible.

[@mattih]

yea its just an awesome story! Really glad I got to be a part of it

[@edgarolvera4458]

You should do more interviews like this one in a future. We learned so much from this. Thank you!

[@JakeGleim]

Just finished watching the film, amazing job. Really pulls at the heartstrings, thank you for showing a piece of the world where our support is needed.

[@alexakate]

before this starts, heres my 2 cents: starting this channel has probably been the best move I've made in a while- it causes me to have a deadline so I HAVE TO make something every week. and even though I've been dreaming of going to film school since I was 6, I feel like I've improved more over the past 3 months uploading then I have my entire life. so yeah, my advice is youtube. I 100% recommend starting, its the best decision I've made in my life. :)

[@mattih]

Yea I agree KZbin is a great platform to learn, get better and have a place to post your work 🙌

[@trickyricky98]

lexamazing how did you achieve that growth. I see you comment a lot on videos. Is that part of it?

[@GStreakerTV]

Hey lex! Nice work you are doing! I have watched a few of your videos before. Nice to see you follow same youtubers as me

[@tombuck]

I absolutely agree. You gotta start somewhere, but the key is actually starting.

[@sarahsoliz4477]

Dude, she's 15. You need to calm down. Get a better face? Really? What are you 10?!?!

[@blinkitphotography]

Another great example to support the arts and being passionate of what you love. This channel really want us to go back and capture more videos on our cameras.

[@mattih]

So good!

[@DavidStephen]

Hi guys, I'm from Dominican republic and I'm very thankful for you to make this documentary release.That show our hearts to make things for people for Free!!!.. next time you stay in my apartment.Blessings !!

[@zachzahn2489]

As someone who is just starting out their dream of working in photography, film-making, and content creation, this video really inspiring to me. It just further motivates me to get closer to my dream I've been chasing for so long. Amazing creators like you help us out. Creators like you help us with both inspiration, technical assistance through tutorials, as well as providing us with a sense that we can make it, just like you did.

[@mattih]

Thanks man for those kind words. I started in the filmmaking world when I was 23 and this is where I've ended up so far. A lot can happen in just a few years so enjoy the ride! 🙌

[@scootafan]

I finally saw that documentary along with many other pieces he created and I've never felt so overwhelmed by anything like this before.

[@jonathanacuna]

Great advice. Especially like thinking about the moments you want to capture which gives you some structure when filming. Also embracing moments that don't go as planned. Rather using them as a learning experience.

[@kmac794]

Incredible job with Rescate! Excellent work for a great story that really needs telling. The small town I grew up in had a 'volunteer' fire department, but at least the equipment was funded by the town. These guys go way beyond and it is important that the world knows.

[@crownlensstudio_SamirRanjan]

Rescate was a very good and inspiring documentary film.

[@YUNGSHADOWBEATS]

MAN! it's so nice to see people focused on the positive things of my country (Dominican Rep.). Salute to Mark and you! Keep up the good Work 🙏

[@mattih]

Great country! And these guys are amazing people doing so much goood 🙌

[@RobDymott]

I was never really into film, picked up at camera 9 months ago loved it now it’s an obsession and I do it every-day, I’m a 23 year old daily vlogger - my bday is today 😊

[@miketrout9742]

Incredible docudrama... fantastically filmed low light, I am in awe

[@SarbajitMoitra]

You are making a difference Matti.. Dilemmas are vanishing from my mind. Thank you Matti..

[@tylerking3974]

When I feel down and my films won't go anywhere I listen to you and your positivity makes me go ya they may suck but I love doing it and that's all I need

[@jasontbeck]

Rescate is both of a very sobering and humbling film. Thanks for the inspiration.

[@chrisbrockhurst]

That trailer is sick! gunna have to watch the doc now

[@NathanYounghusband]

Good point about taking more risks on personal projects!

[@chrislaawrence]

this came up in my feed at the perfect time. i'm about to finish my first degree and then start taking classes at college to learn more about film & video production. I hope our paths cross someday, Toronto is very small haha!

[@Azmir]

This dialogue between the two of you was really informative and insightful! I've really learnt a lot just by listening to you two talk and seeing the passion inside! Thank you for inspiring me, and hopefully I can use these tips for my next film :)

[@jonathanseow6306]

The Doc is amazing!!! If your sitting there wondering like I was if you should watch it, WATCH IT!

[@OddTinkering]

I don't want to be complaining but I hate those super fast texts you put on these. It always starts bothering me what are they saying and I have to go over and over that one second when it's showing just to read it. But otherwise great video as always.

[@mattih]

i think thats the idea ;)

[@LexElls]

Great video! Looks like your good at finding people with the same passion and values to work with. It's awesome to see

[@chubbyemu]

Matti, I’ve learned a lot from you and Peter. Very talented guys. Thanks for all the insight.

[@brandonricketts1762]

I just started YouTubing 3 weeks ago and I’ve released 2 videos so far. The past 3 days I keep scrambling trying to figure what to post next but this video helped me calm down and just do what I’m passionate about.

[@JonathanThompsonStoryteller]

Looking forward to checking out the doc. It’s sooooo important to do personal projects... and yet I still haven’t done one for ages! Hmmmm. Doing the work that you want to be hired for is some of the very best advice, and working on something you love with people you click with, is invaluable. Thanks for all the tips... plan, plan and plan some more. Because if it turns out a bit crappy or your process and footage is a bit naahhh you loose momentum so quickly. I’ve done plenty that ended taking, not only wind out of my sails but a big hole in the boat too. Cheers JT

[@LevinJ7]

Matti, this doc is seriously riveting! Incredible job portraying something I know I definitely would not have known about..

[@SethAllison]

Went and watched the film. What an incredible story, told with incredible cinematography!

[@jaymesagency]

Your channel is awesome. Really glad I stumbled onto Peter & then onto your channel. Both of you provide really informative & entertaining content.

[@mattih]

Thanks so much man really appreciate you being here!

[@arcee2430]

Man, really learned a lot from you when it comes to slow motion and speed ramping! Your shots are perfect!

[@lettersfromhoth]

Love the look of your new cine LUTS

[@mattih]

Thanks so much! worked hard on them

[@jmann316]

I'm digging the 80's vibe to the music lately.

[@mattih]

I love the 80s 😊

[@MicroFourNerds]

I love your b-roll so much 😁 and little time square! I went there once when I was on holiday, such a cool place, especially for street photography 📸

[@mattih]

haha thanks so much!

[@AronBagel]

This is the type of inspiring content I love seeing. Awesome job guys, I'll be sure to check the film out!

[@Dontomify]

The documentary was lovely, a very authentic story that actually makes a difference. This video, and the documentary inspired me to get back out there to shoot my next own project. Matti & Andrew, thanks!

[@SparlingAdventures]

Awesome documentary Matti!! Thanks for inspiring me each and every day her on youtube. A couple months ago I started up my channel and had not thought about what I wanted to do and who I wanted to be. I see each and every day is a grind and it's not easy at all but I like that challenge. I know one day I will be successful. It takes climbing the mountain in order to be successful man and I truly have to say you have helped my climb that mountain bro. As a Vancouver based filmmaker here I have mad respect for my T-DOT you tubers. Thanks for helping and guiding me a long the way and showing me who I truly am. Cheers man!

[@mattih]

Thats awesome! Keep going at it and I''m sure you will find success 🙌

[@KoreanHusbandHongKongWife]

Thanks for sharing another inspirational vid. I am not exactly a filmmaker but always love watching your vids and happy to see your channel grows day by day! 😃

[@skycedi]

This was incredibly valuable and awesome! Great job on finishing this project. I haven't gotten into creating short films just yet, but as a vlogger, I found what you guys said about planning, having a skeleton, and knowing what you are going to film can be totally applicable to making a great vlog as well. Anyone can turn on a camera and film their day, but how much better if a little more thought and intention was put into it. Thanks for sharing :)

[@mattih]

exactly! So many people are missing that

[@sofiaiva7602]

Amazing doc! Very touching and deep. And the edit so perfect and fresh. Good job!

[@mattih]

🙌

[@oscarloaiza1111]

It is such a amazing doc!! Congratulations, it Definetly made me cry cause that happens in many cities in south and Centro america, it's really sad but those people are angels! Thanks for sharing matti! Definetly this inspire me even more to create more story telling in my KZbin channel.

[@MarkHoltze]

Funny, my very first doc series I worked on was called Doctors Without Boarders. It was a good project, I like what they’re doing. Might toss a little green their way. Thanks for the intro Matti.

[@mattih]

Thats awesome man! Its great being able to use filmmaking as a spotlight 🙌

[@Julizma10]

I LOVE THE DOC!! great job Mark! it's so so so soooo beautiful!! love it!!

[@RyanTaylorCan]

What an incredible film! If this doesn’t make you want to get out and help for the greater good, I don’t know what would! Great job guys 👌

[@JadaDaKid]

Thank you so much Matti I learned so much from you and keep learning thank you again

Thanks for always being practical with your advice!

[@NathanVMountain]

I have come up with a few film ideas in the past, I have a couple at the moment I want to run with, but no matter how many contacts or people I know or how good the idea Is (Not just to me but good to everyone I speak about it too) I ALWAYS have problems with funding and casting, especially cause I'm in such a small unknown village in the UK.. any tips on how to get past this?? I would really appreciate it!! 😊

[@mattih]

Some projects take years to finish! Keep grinding and getting better and finding those right people to work with 🙌

[@nocturnalmedia3293]

Move to London ! Or join apps like Meetup, Facebook film page .

[@rainytown2112]

Here’s same with me, so I’m moving to a bigger city with my family and gonna save up and fund myself. May go a college for learning filmmaking then I could meet ppl who wanna do film with me and we may help each other out. Hope my idea helps, good luck!

[@sonlabay2146]

[@BusterRates]

Literally the same here and i live in a city in the UK to 😒

[@QUIKTHE7]

The documentary was good. Great shots!! Good job!!

[@MrRedmacx]

TravelFeels absolutely brilliant my buddy. Captivating, inspiring, cinematic. I one day wish to achieve videos like this. I can't thank you enough for inspiring me and teaching me how to be better. May God bless you for your efforts and teaching. When I'm in a better position i will surely help by donating to the rescate ambar guys. Goal definitely achieved by far! P.s. i just love the way you guys paid attention to the littlest of details.

[@ravone]

Great documentary! Respect to the crew.

[@mattih]

haha amazing! 🙏

[@JakubKedzia]

Well that was impressive. Great documentary, awesome trailer. And I also think it's the best episode of your vlog so far :) Btw, was it filmed with c300ii or some different camera? And the most important thing- what's the trailer song?

[@natzume]

Awesome B-Roll

[@MrJasenboychair]

Great video! Love your work at Travel Feels, just out of curiosity, what camera did you use? I noticed you were able to record sound in Slow-Motion. Or is it just slowed down in post?

[@MyKillpro]

Awsome man i also want to be a travel film maker.. you inspire me thank you a lot

[@mattih]

keep going!

[@kbmats]

[@Gothamplay01]

hey Hod bless do you like the ronin or the zhyuin crane ?

[@alaneduardo3345]

hey matt, if u ever want to visit brazil, you have a place to crash bro! love your work, keep it up. Its nice to have someone like you teaching us what to do and the most important part: how to do it. Like, theres a lot of channels that just show what they have and show some footage but u really teaches what we want to know. Cheers brother :)

[@mattih]

Thanks for the invite Alan! 🙌

[@zweidiereisen]

so nice bro

[@GlebLapham]

Love the video! Those are some awesome tips!

[@mattih]

thanks man!

[@Hoizaty]

I go to school in Dundas square, despise the place by now.. haha Definitely going to check out this doc, the trailer was incredible

[@nm541]

The doc sounds interesting! Are you submitting it to any film festivals? There's one that happens every October called Reelworld film festival that I think would be interested in your film

[@mattih]

I believe Mark is yes!

[@alessandrofederica90]

What happen to your amazing color grading????

[@AlinBogdanAndronic]

Such a wonderful movie ❤️

[@Luiscameraman]

Hey Matti, How did Film Supply get a hold of the project (rescate)? like what was their involvement?

[@FlorisJanRoelof]

SO AWESOME! THANKS!

[@HenryEdward]

Thanks Matti! Love your advice😁 I've been doing KZbin for 8 months and I still haven't cracked the 1K yet 😂 It's hard, and I agree with that. If you wanna grow in KZbin you have to start with help from someone. It's very hard to start from scratch on KZbin like me, and then grow like you or Peter. Much love from South Africa 🇿🇦

[@JoshuaDRathbun]

Henry Edward hey! Interested in supporting each other? Sub for a sub?

[@HenryEdward]

Joshua D. Rathbun yeah man sure👍🏻

[@johannesslogedal5930]

Can you make a video about framing shots and how to use your Camera at the best way.

[@johnramillenoel4834]

[@mattih]
