Is YouTube making you a bad filmmaker?

[@impatrickt]

clean your dirty beats

[@DavidVensland]

Hey my beats aren't dirty...

[@SnakeCakeExotics]

Dirt don't hurt! lol come do another here with snakes, I'm in east york!

[@ZachMayfield]

dude I'm so glad you're tackling this topic. I've been feeling so damn creatively dead, like I'm trying to get back to the kid version of me that just didn't give a shit about what I made as long as I was having fun. This was encouraging, keep it up dad

[@impatrickt]

I believe in you, son. you’re gonna go far.

[@canoopsy]

Ok this video was incredible, BUT CAN WE TALK ABOUT THE NEW INTRO THO??? So fire

[@respect386]

Seriously

[@stephendandrea5164]

This!

[@stephendandrea5164]

And the logo animation at the end?! Damn.

[@tafhimimamkhan]

It was fun to watch. Making dumb things as if they're a big project is an amazing idea.

[@adventurefilmclub2549]

Also, it was literally this video that made me a subscriber! I've seen one or two of your Blackmagic/Mac Mini videos, as that's the setup I've upgraded to for filmmaking, but this video showed me you're a filmmaker serious about the art and fun of filmmaking.

[@davecorry7723]

That gave me a nice little giggle ... Thank you.

[@SimonBurnCreative]

Enjoyed this, you make a good point. You're not a filmmaker if you review products on KZbin, you're a salesman trying to make a few bucks and get views. Your approach is the right one to becoming a creative filmmaker 👍

[@JonTorrence]

NO NO NO! This was all so good. The short film was so well done, the vibe was there, the nonsense was gripping, the look was there 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 keep it going, I’m here for it!

[@joefilmco]

I love everything in this. So freakin inspiring, and your short was great. Thank you 🙏🏻

[@impatrickt]

Thank you so much!!

[@WestonWoodfin]

I can relate to your intro sooooo much. My favorite videos to make and the ones I spend so much creative energy on, are the ones no one watches. I am trying to find a balance as well!

[@ShawnPBruce]

I loved the short! I'm excited to see you exploring these types of things.

[@AlexOnStreets]

I think everyone like you, me, us all in the camera photography space on KZbin are actually realizing theirs a certain point where talking about gear just leads to more talking about gear because we dig ourselves into this mindset that this is what our audience expects from us. I am with you man. Let's not settle. I love your short stories so far and will 100 percent watch more. It gives me a lot of inspiration.

[@KoenRH2803]

This one was great! I follow you mostly for these type of videos. Loving your grade and the way you layer your shots with light

[@impatrickt]

thanks so much!

[@simplyfrank72]

THIS.... 100000%!!! Love the idea of just making shorts about dumb scenarios! Stay busy, training, practicing, creating. I'm so inspired now. Thanks!

[@impatrickt]

glad to hear it!

[@vermaaditya]

Love the A24 logo formation at the end! Thanks for this, stellar work!

[@arranpbrown]

I loved this, Patrick - nice one! 😂

[@PhreestyleNYC]

I completely agree with how you feel, and the answer that I told myself in being overwhelmed at one point with the question of “there’s a lot I want to do, but what should I do?”. The answer that I came up with was to ride the wave of how I’m feeling. Know when to force yourself to do things but aswell know when it’s okay to not do it. Just taking it a day at a time however with a successful future set into my sight that I’ll eventually reach

[@Mraz75]

love your short film with simple idea.. 😃

[@ikhwannurfarizi]

This topic is so underrated on the filmmaking stuff. I really coldn't agree more about thos dumb and crazy stuff that we need to do as a filmmaker, to get those creative muscle and excecute those ideas. I missed thos joy of making film, experiment all of stuff right on the go. Thanks for bring this topic up🔥 can't wait to see more of your content and short film!

[@Jabez_Sam]

Loving this type of content 🙌🏽 makes me wanna create better too

[@callyscorner]

Great short film! Dumb ideas always win..

[@stephendandrea5164]

I love these shorts, Patrick. Please never stop being you. And your brother! I love how he's become a character in your channel. See any of these silly shorts coming with Fran too?

[@jakefelzien]

I don't even know how to articulate this emotion other than you are literally "right on the money" right now and I am here with it until the end my man.

[@LeeZavitz]

I unsubscribed and re subscribed for Big Dirty Beats

[@impatrickt]

honestly the CD slaps so hard

[@joshuaconti989]

If you add this to the getting a burger film youve created the ImPatrickT cinematic universe.

[@AronBagel]

Honestly, this felt like one of those home "movies" we would make as kids, but as if it was shot during by Tarantino. Love it.

[@MarkStCyr]

Hey PT, glad you're finding a way to keep your creativity active and stretching your filmmaker muscles. I think the new title for this video was a good move. I was somehow turned off from "Dumb" but this got me curious to click - and once I clicked I was glad I did. Ultimately the goal of the thumbnail and title is just to get eyeballs on your film and your video definitely delivers once you get us here my friend. I definitely relate to the challenge of feeling like KZbin only rewards educational, review type videos. Artistic videos seem to perform less well - even though they're often the videos we're more proud of. I hope that rather than these two ideas being opposed to each other -- you're finding a way to creatively express yourself WHILE STILL helping your audience to grow and learn with you. That feels like the secret sauce. I dislike the tech reviewers who basically list specs, and take ugly photos and basic videos to tell you about a brand new camera or lens. I APPRECIATE channels like yours that show what art you can actually create with the tech their using. And who can talk about what aspects of the tech made it helpful or not. Anyway, cheers PT and I'm looking forward to your next one.

[@enriquezf1]

this is why we watch ALL of these how to film KZbin videos, but in action! great job can’t wait to see and be inspired by more

[@enriquezf1]

man love these short films

[@StereoChimps]

my favorite videos from you are those with short films ,their just so original and has ur own voice

[@thecrowfliescrooked]

Everyone that makes these 8 minute or so KZbin videos does burn out creatively because, as you said, the learning and creative curve levels out pretty fast. I look forward to what you come up with.

[@alexshotthese]

Loved this man. Totally relate to this completely and I need to start putting some more energy towards making short creative films.

[@NigelBarros]

I totally get being burned out with making product videos for KZbin, I plan on phasing those out of my channel more this year. That short looked and sounded real good!

[@impatrickt]

its tough because it's not only harder to make these videos... but it's even harder to get people to watch them. BUT they're way more fun. excited for you.

[@FolkeFox]

keep it simple keep it stupid, best mantra ever

[@ehJoe]

I am a Pt fan, your product reviews and tutorials are great but I mostly follow to learn your creative process, I appreciate your different style and you never bore the audience. When I come out of hibernation I plan to drop some dumb video ideas myself, keep doing you 🍕🚀

[@HaiTomVlog]

It’s good to find a balance, that’s for sure. Following your creativity is one of the best things anyone can do! 🤙🏼

[@User_not_found_403]

You do you bro - loving da shorts! There’s enough product reviews out there already.

[@LouisLuzuka]

The audio was on point on this, I’m glad I got your moment course

[@aLittlePal]

got the start, got the twist, got the ending, and the whole package/production/setup has comedic essence in it, and the iphone car washer short you did, a little bit slow motion in the washing machine, the right sound to go with, and the sunlight shining through the long thin brush hair to create strong graphical silhouette, you are on to something, yes, you should keep working toward that and the gear review thing, you kept saying it was doing great, do you mean it generate good income while being boring and eroding to your inner character, well then keep doing it, it pays the bill, it helps you get equipment and asset I might do gear review as well if it does indeed make good money just like that

[@ethangarz]

Absolutely loving the short films and I totally agree. The second you don't feel like your content is stretching you and facilitating growth, it's time to switch directions. Keep It up brotha! I'm newer to the channel but I'm here for the haul. Excited for what's next!

[@DylColeman]

You're so inspiring dude. Pick an idea and GO! You've inspired me to stop being paralyzed creatively and get out there and do what I've always WANTED to do but been frozen in a state of inactivity for what seems like forever. Gotta make shorts. Gotta practice. Gotta do. Thanks 🙏🏾

[@impatrickt]

get it!

[@JoshuaTimothy]

This is so true! I don’t have as much time as you on the platform, but I’ve been thinking about many of these same things. It’s all about making it something we enjoy doing, or why do it at all. Killer exit with that new PT logo!

[@miesto_paukstis]

Great intro! Very nice thoughts

[@TuckerPearce]

Clean those dirty beats. This was fun, more of these please. That mic looks cool, keep wanting to buy it but pushing myself to make more vids before I spend more on gear 😬🤣

[@emilioqlozano2318]

Great short film and looking forward to seeing more of them to come.

[@GajanBalan]

Man, resonate so much with your opening monologue. It's a thought that ended my last video with, this idea of fulfillment on this journey. I'm gonna take a page out of your book and try something dumb this weekend ✌🏾

[@brich3368]

Dope, love the grading and colour correction.

[@filmrollstroll2003]

This is exactly what I needed to hear. 🖖🏾

[@impatrickt]

👍👍👍

[@chrisbrockhurst]

Loved that, seriously.

[@BandrewScott]

I love this. It’s easy to fall in to the trap of just reviewing stuff, the difficult thing is making stuff with what you have. Dig the message! Keep up the great work and keep making dumb ideas!

[@kmerrill4444]

I love your dumb ideas! I'm happy you're doing the things that make you grow

[@MindOverMatter36]

My new favorite KZbinr. This was mad Dope. Need more creative content like this. This is the shit that motivates. The camera tech community has become so toxic with people calling every lens trash if it doesn’t provide the “butteriest boka”. What’s really sad is that so many creators are now catering all of their content to these boka bitches. But I get it. people gotta feed their families and do what pays the bills. I Just wish more guys(and girls) would actually show us what these cameras can do on a creative level. And you’re doing that. Respect.

[@Maxhuertas]

A short film about buying hot dogs at target or whatever supermarket is nearby.

[@TravisLatam]

Love simple and dumb ideas. This was great, PT!

[@holysheetproductions]

Awesome video! Keep up the short films, that’s what matters most!

[@schmindian]

Dumb is way better than boring.

[@bulldozeproductions7330]

I really enjoy your content bro! I'm all about dumb ideas! lol

[@ericpaisley8501]

I’m on that wavelength. Kinda.

[@HAMAVIDEO]

Product reviews, short films, vlogs, whatever. I just love the video you made. nice story and good configuration. "Some Guy's Table (Cinematic Fried Egg)" and "That's New York (Shot on iPhone)" you made a few years ago are the reasons I started making videos. Thanks. Happy new year! (Lunar New Year)

[@cinesheikh]

I've noticed hardly any of these KZbin "filmmakers" have any short films to their name and especially not a feature film when they have all the gear and knowledge on how to use it. No excuse really. If Spielberg or Scorsese was growing up in today's KZbin generation, they'd be making a short film EVERY week.

[@impatrickt]

I have a shit load of short films and I’ve shot a fuck load of commercials. I need to make more.

[@cinesheikh]

@@impatrickt keep at it bro. Get that feature. Also really liked your Batman video essays hence how I found you. Looking into the GH6 for some DIY anamorphic filmmaking myself for my 2nd feature film too.

[@kunsunrethy]

Been so long man, thanks for the video again, listening to you is very helpful for me. Creative ruts are real and gear syndrome are the worst. Just need to get the camera out and do something. Thanks Patrick!

[@Berserkeroffroad]

The unfortunate reality is that at first, we have to tolerate the benign jobs to pay rent while we develop our creativity. I'm glad to see you aren't settling and are looking forward.

[@JustinEspejo]

That opeming statement hit different! Your cinematic videos as of late have been so so good patrick! Keep creating and we’ll keep watching!!! And yeah! Lately iv just been trying to think of dumb ideas too just to remind me that this journey is so much fun! Hahaha!

[@JustinEspejo]

I also love that you create regardless of whether you gain or lose subscribers! Always inspiring to hear Someone with your level of “success” talk about stuff like that! Btw, cinematography was great! Colorgrade too! Always a fan patrick! 😁

[@b3naqua]

Those are some DIRTY ass beats

[@thecrowfliescrooked]

bravo for working in those damn east coast winter conditions!

[@impatrickt]

my spine is still frozen

[@thecrowfliescrooked]

@@impatrickt I bet. You guys have been getting some really shit weather. Hang in there.

[@adventurefilmclub2549]

Been dealing with this creative dilemma myself! I aspire to learn enough to film my first short film, but getting too focused on 'growing the channel' and chasing those likes, which for my channel tends to result from gear reviews videos etc. I spend days editing a video and pushing my limits of creative knowledge (on a gopro admittedly), and get like 200 views. Then I review a tent and get 5k views. I keep reminding myself I want to be a filmmaker not a youtuber.

[@seanokana]

this is actually really inspiring.. definitely a great conviction to keep things fresh and fun. sometimes we get paralyzed trying to think of a grand idea that it inhibits us from creating at all. these can be viewed as something similar to doodling in art.. sometimes doodles just keep you moving the pen, and sometimes doodles turn into grand ideas.

[@zellgaymon]

Easily my favorite channel to watch ever since you got the Sony a7iv. Keep em comin’!

[@impatrickt]

Thanks! Will do 🥂

[@Dullboy_Jack237]

I loved this. +1 new sub

[@TheEverydayDad]

My life hack is that all my ideas are dumb.

[@impatrickt]

"how I got half a million subscribers with dumb ideas" New York times best seller.

[@danielizarra7671]

when i watch your videos i just think in how u get that awesome personal look. i rly like it

[@BCPaulVideoProd]

Working on a dumb script that involves time-travel and sandwiches.

[@impatrickt]

sounds perfect

[@StuartRodwell]

Really enjoyed it Patrick 👍🏻

[@shanemitchellspencer]

I'm pumped for this kind of stuff.

[@VijitChandna]

Easily becoming one of my favourite channels

[@GroovyTakeON]

Dumb idea + creativity might lead to good idea

[@BrianPhoto]

Gerald Undone brought me to this channel. Great videos Patrick!

[@Janio.]

"Taking something simple and easy and executing on it." Thats honestly the most important point for me as a content creator, to not get lost or burned out. Exited to get dumb today.

[@sebastianramirez2994]

totally men! this was awesome more shorts and less gear review!!!

[@khalilb2350]

Making these "dumb film" likr you said will surely give you that expertise that youll need in the future for the big ones great idea!

[@Yoshiiselliot]

I love this! You've inspired me to stop taking things so seriously with filmmaking... I wanna create some dumb ideas too haha

[@sampriest12]

Good stuff bro... Show a break down of making the short. Not a review and very informative. Love you and your brother working together.

[@impatrickt]

Thanks!

[@JamieMcEwanOfficial]

Everything about this was great. Really appreciate the humble and open approach! I'd also recommend listening to Big Dirty Beats 3, which is where I think the series hit its stride.

[@impatrickt]

good call. ordering on ebay.

[@Ratmir_Johnson]

You my friend are a Legend! JUST A WILD THOUGHT! How bout a short film about sky diving but not really?

[@TheFilmmakersWorkshop]

I’m really enjoying your shorts films and those beats!

[@impatrickt]

those beats really do be dirty.

[@tibfox]

Great video and message mate! You could bring up an easy executable & very dumb idea and host a contest for your filmmaking subscribers! I would be highly interested (if the idea does not include more than one person - because I dont have friends irl lol) greetings

[@ChrisJDavisorg]

I feel this. I came to the realization after being forced to take a break from creating content for 8+ months, that I just don't really care to do it anymore. I was only creating content because I felt like I needed to since I had subs. I'm shifting my focus entirely to making crap I enjoy, and hope that a few people along the way will enjoy it too. Loved this one by the way.

[@JayTheCyborg]

Thank you. I kinda gave up for a min. This might have been the spark.

[@fernandosilva]

i do love me some good dumb ideas

[@theorangehuntress4108]

Love it! And slurpees, yes! How do you feel about ice fishing????

[@impatrickt]

sounds cold

[@theorangehuntress4108]

@Patrick Tomasso true...a pretty dumb idea 💡

[@LouisLuzuka]

Literally love the lamps

[@rissamayrox]

PATRICK, I love this idea and think maybe I need to do this for myself as well. My best friend and I once shot a short film in one hour just to see what we could come up with and it was honestly so fun and I learned a lot.

[@impatrickt]

yes! its honestly not even about the final product its the process. you really don't even realize how hard it is (or how easy it can be) until you do it. the worst is having a really great idea with no clue how to execute. at least with silly ideas you're not precious about anything. you end up being more creative.

[@HANKBRAVO81]

You haven’t lost a subscriber here. Interestingly, I’ve now started watching more if your videos haha. Kudos. Made me laugh this one 👍🏻

[@БольшойБратухин]

Nice job, bro👍 It's better to do, than not to do🙃

[@FlamespeedyAMV]

KZbin can make you try be like everyone else, what's trending or what's popular. I always try by myself in life

[@rogeriogomesosorio4755]

I love the color look of your videos. I’m jealous. Keep up the great work

[@impatrickt]

if you haven't seen my video on color grading its the "how I get the film look" video!

[@JimKalligas]

That was hilarious dude! 🔥

[@siddhantmogaveera]

This was super cool and fun stuff! Enjoyed it a lot actually! Been watching your videos here and there for a while now but this finally made me subscribe to the channel! Keep em coming! To dumb ideas 🍷

[@IsabellaPresnal]

🔥🔥 loving dumb ideas into a short film.

[@ToddDeSilva]

I honestly been enjoying the dumb videos. I’ve been so bored of all of the tech videos recently, every body reviewing the same thing over and over and over again . kudos to you for doing that silly video…it was hilarious

[@impatrickt]

thanks Todd!
