Your cinematography is unlike anything else I've seen on YT. I'm so glad the algorithm is vibing with you, otherwise I wouldn't have found your 2 year old video three days ago about finding peace. I started bouldering 3 months ago and fell in love, the problem solving skills and building the confidence to trust yourself is addicting. If you're ever to climb again, less arms more legs, all us beginner climbers only use arms until someone kind let's us know it's all legs :O)

[@linawilnethnaranjopascuas4216]

Thats truth! it seems like a movie

[@TinyFord1]

It’s like a Stevie Emerson video but it’s educational rather than comedy. KZbin is becoming good

[@peepoodoodledoo]

If you want more fun cinematography from cool people I’d recommend Jesse Driftwood and Evan Monsma here on YT!

[@DAN-qi6pm]

I agree. Riza’s cinematography immediately captured my attention. It’s the best I’ve seen from any KZbin content creator. 💯

[@IYI_WOLF_IYI]

Whats the title of that video? I also climb haha

[@nataliesoutlet]

I love climbing! Challenges me mentally and physically and all around such a fun community of people

[@benghiskahn3673]

YES!!!! Climbing is an amazing hobby!

[@ElleOfTheMills]

so proud of u and what you're doing on this platform!

[@LifeOfRiza]

thank you elle :’)🫶🏼

[@streampunksheep]

You inspired me riza. keep it up please.

[@glamastro]

So I wanted to get a few things out there and perhaps get to know if anyone feels the same... A hobby is a thing that we "like" to do, like it brings up notions of peace, and relaxation...and overall good vibes. Like, they are things that we put effort into, and feel good about the effort we put in as well as the results we get. There are a few major caveats with this notion. First, I've seen modern life make people as good as seemingly programmed drones, that only put in effort when it is a source of money, or instant gratification. Why would you "want to work without money, or without obtaining likes". Because it makes you feel good? But modernism provides that feeling through money and attention apparantly... The average person is already bombarded with all sorts of dopamine hits, which they don't even have to work for. Just pull out your phone and you'll get an endless stream of 'entertaining content', or open a streaming service and watch 4 movies a day (movies that are so good, so absorbing and thought inducing and can stay with you for a very long time, but you get none of that because you immediately move onto the next one, hence your appreciation is also destroyed). And, you never "feel like" doing your supposed hobbies these days, because what's the point of nobody's watching?Just get lost in the endless repository the internet is. Once all connected by modern tech, people really don't do anything for themselves. They do it for validation. Maybe you created a piece of art, a short film, a poem, or composed a song, or learnt a new instrument....or even given your roommate a new haircut...whatever... Your first instinct is to post it for other people to see, like and comment... Otherwise it just feels like you wasted your time for nothing. Then there's jealousy. About your "hobby" not receiving enough attention compared to someone who posts similar things.

[@Midnight_Gust]

another masterpiece(a refreshing channel for me honestly), Its great to see people share this message . For me and many other people hobbies are a way of getting rid of the accumulated stress, personally for me I like playing my guitar , singing and writing some poems or just a walk in a silent way to get detached from this busy live.

[@Kable10]

You have such a fresh creative style that feels unique compared to other vlogs! Keep up the great work!

[@TheWeaversofEternity]

Your videos are so impeccably and professionally written, shot, and produced! I just found your channel, but I'm glad to see that the algorithm has given you some notice and that you're getting more recognition and attention for your amazing content. It is truly inspiring, keep going! 😊

[@LifeOfRiza]

Thank you!!

[@goat8614]

WHAT U DOIN HERE??? You got me into the hobby of paracording 💙

[@ZenHikingSwitzerland]

I couldn't help but smile at the beginning of your latest video because I could relate so much! Being an orchestral trumpet player and a hiking enthusiast myself, I understand the fear of turning hobbies into jobs, I did it with both of these things. I feel I'm out of hobbies sometimes, and It's comforting to know that I'm not alone in feeling this way. Good on you for trying out climbing! Oh, and can we take a moment to appreciate the sheer brilliance of your videos? The quality of your filming and editing is on a whole new level. Truly impressive, I haven't seen anything like this on youtube. Thank you for the work and dedication.

[@n.lately]

I rarely see vlogs with storytelling as good as yours! I always feel inspired after watching your videos, especially as someone who is learning to make videos myself. Bouldering and rock climbing are so much fun - after I tried it, I was hooked. It such a good workout for the body but also the brain when you're working on the tougher problems 😛Congrats on the crazy growth on your channel btw! 🎉

[@yungzohan1608]

I started climbing a year ago, and it was one of the best things I’ve ever done. It’s a great way to push yourself physically and a great way to hangout with friends

[@jefisfree]

every single shot is so well thought out and often unexpectedly mesmerising just like an art film! (like the shot when you're lying on the couch then turn to the camera to start talking). I also love the perfectly crafted stories you make about life's imperfections and can't wait to see more!

[@steve_EO]

This is something I’ve only realized this year, and I’ve been slowly getting into new hobbies. It’s been so fun to explore new hobbies, too! Reeeeeslly can relate to this video. Incredible work!

[@jerrykwan150]

I have to say im fascinated by this concept. As much as we are inundated with vloggers recording their everyday lives, I havent really seen as much (probably by virtue of me not particularly seeking it out tbh) work talking about the inner workings of one's mind and why they do something with a particular intentionality. It's also a really curious thing to me, recording your 20s. I'm in that stage of my life as well, and it's comforting but also intimidating to see someone undertake such a daunting task because it makes you think, "what if that were me?" Thanks for your Waiting for Life to Happen video, as much as i may lose that 1am spark of inspiration to change my life by morning, you've certainly put a much more vivid spin on the classic lesson that I at least won't forget. Beautiful storytelling and cinematography.

[@NoahCBanks]

The shot selections in your videos are 🔥 Totally feel ya on having hobbies that dont need to be monetized. Rock climbing and bouldering are no joke!

[@sahirprajapati5958]

anybody else rewatching some of her videos everyday? the cinematography, the sound, the concepts. more than awesome.

[@haldiroot]

It's always a unique kind of difficult when your creative outlet becomes a way for you to survive---because on one hand: yay! You can do the thing you love AND not have to do anything else! But on the other hand: uh oh. You now rely on that thing for surviving, and that can be a really stressful and burn you out pretty quick. I'm slowly working on my art, youtube, and artistic stories, and this situation very much reminds me of that fear I have when I work on them. Building more hobbies is sometimes difficult, but it's so important so that we have multiple ways to relieve stress (especially when you do them with friends!). Also, it's so nice to see your channel grow! I've seen your videos on and off for a few months now, and to see that you've gotten the recognition you deserve is so satisfying. Congrats!!

[@RedneckAnarchist]

I rarely comment on videos, but I just wanted to say that I think it's super cool how much work you put into making your videos cinematically interesting instead of just talking to the camera. Your content is very impressive. And really puts me in a better mood, which I've been in need of lately. You're my new binge :)

[@user-hc3df8sy3c]

i just wanna say that i just discovered you the other day and your videos are so relaxing and feel like home. They motivate us they really do to go out there and do stuff beyond our comfort zone its good to have you! keep it up!

[@animesvt1234]

I'm so glad I found you. Like your entire vibe is just so calming and interesting at the same time

[@Dil.Careem]

Hobbies are incredibly important for our overall well-being! They provide an escape from the daily grind, a chance to learn and grow, and can even lead to new friendships and passions. This video beautifully highlights why we should all make time for hobbies in our lives. It's not just about having fun; it's about nurturing our souls. Loved this.

[@Y.F.]

I actually realy appreciate you turning the mundane day to day into a video like this it showes that we should all be proud of the little things

[@Y.F.]

O-O i've been noticed

[@josiahsmith7250]

You have this natural talent for cinematography, and specifically lighting & composition. And then your videos are just so intellectually inspiring! You’ve created such a beautiful channel and series of videos.

[@leolundgren3989]

I have the opposite problem atm where I have too many hobbies and I don't know how to manage them all. I've discovered that it helps to have different hobbies depending on what season it is. That way you can change between them more naturally and you don't feel bad when you pick one over the other. It also helps to find a group of people that you can share your hobby with so that you can all grow together. :)

[@rianefalcao6330]

shit, this just reminded me how much i loved climbing as a kid, idk why i ever stopped, it looks so fun and gives you the sense of accomplishment

[@batnaana]

im so happy she's getting the recognition she deserved for so long.

[@TheCarmacon]

Your home looks so therapeutic. Just seeing the green wall and the soft light makes me happy.

[@tyroneDeGZ]

thank you for bringing hope for this kind of content!! so refreshing and inspiring!

[@VictoriaLyman]

I have started this recent exploration of trying new hobbies because I also felt like for so long I didn't have any hobbies. crocheting was one of my recent ones and its insane how many people immediately started asking me about selling or monetizing it in some way!! I thing its so important to have things that are just for entertainment and joy, life is far too short to constantly find ways to monetize everything.

[@theasianjenn]

Riza, your style is absolutely lovely. I love your messages that you share throughout your videos! 😊❤️

[@coconemon]

Hi Riza, I literally just discovered you about an hour ago and been binge watching your videos. I got to say, not a lot of youtubers have affected me the way you did, the energy you bring out is amazing and you make me feel like I can do amazing things too. I am looking forward for your next videos. Subscribed ✅️

[@Mocsmith77]

i go to that climbing gym myself and i remember all those routes in the video, great job

[@josephedet8482]

Since I found your channel yesterday night while wondering why I really started doing whatsoever I am doing, I smile just watching you doing yours and just inspiring me to do me and forget about the reward. Thanks so much.

[@Bubby91]

one of your older videos was recommended on my feed, and dam i gotta say going through your videos i really like the style of how you film and seeing how its changed in ways over time. I am not a film/cinematography geek at all, but i do appreciate good scenes when i see em. Hope to see more great content from ya soon!

[@stefandesu]

These vlogs are like mini movies, I love it! I love bouldering and rock climbing, it's an awesome hobby. I mostly do it indoors too, but it's yet another experience climbing real rock outside. Totally recommended!

[@marcusperry9481]

Whoa. 2nd video I've just watched on this channel. Soundtrack amazing. Interior aesthetics of your dwelling: SUPERB. Move over plain-wall, minimalist-to-a-fault cookie-cutter design, there's a new way to design an interior space. I have no idea what you even do, but this content is inspiring on a number of levels. The algorithm actually served me well today. Keep on keeping on! ❤🙏🔥✝

[@dontemchan]

Stumbled upon your channel just a few days ago and captivated by your videos. Now I’m tripping out that you tried climbing! Stoked to hear you would do it again! It’s a whole new world/rabbit hole and a fun way of working out. Looking forward to more 🤘

[@lyramona]

Your channel was just recommended to me and I’m soooo happy it was! Your videos are so refreshing and your storytelling is just so nice and soothing and real. I love that they’re aren’t long but I’d probably still watch if they were 🤭 but they are just nice nuggets to digest! 💙

[@KristinWitcher]

Firstly, I really enjoy the style in which you craft your videos. Secondly, you nailed my current dilemma. I made videos for fun in high school, and then that turned into my job in college to post-college. I'm re-analyzing what hobbies I want to have that do not involve a screen! So glad KZbin recommended your channel today.

[@ryeandrock]

Climbing is one of the best possible activities you could have picked for a new hobby! Glad you enjoyed it. It's definitely something you can get hooked on, especially once you meet other people to climb with. I think I found myself in the opposite predicament as you. Currently too many hobbies, but lost the passion for the work I do. Hoping one day to make one of my hobbies into a career.

[@pedroarellano4754]

found your channel yesterday and I love the few videos I've watched! Also climbing is a great hobby !

[@basitmt4949]

One of my biggest inspirations on here, about to hit a 100k. Always knew it would only be a matter of time before you started getting the recognition you deserve, and now the moment is here!!!

[@pallabi.5]

Thank you for existing and making this place a better one, you videos are helpful in a way that i can never explain💛

[@manizhaazizi3156]

Riza, so happy to see your channel blowing up so fast these days 😄 yesterday I saw your channel had 78K or so, but today it is 88k 🤗 You deserve it girl! I found your channel two days ago and I was wondering why the algorithm has not recommended these beautiful videos to me sooner. Happy to see your videos reaching out to more people.

[@MyWackyBrain]

Your style really hits a feeling for me that I can't quite describe. It's like calming and reassuring, yet also makes you think and reflect on things. But still somehow keeps it entertaining enough that it overcomes my short attention span. I really like it! Keep it up!

[@NickIsQBFox]

This is the first video of yours that I've watched and the way you edited this is amazing. It felt and looked so good. I'm really excited to watch more and binge your old videos!!

[@marionlim]

so glad that the algorithm brings me here, you're truly inspiring Riza!! love from a french creative :)

[@muchthump]

Wow. Seeing this video directly after one from 2yrs ago is incredible to see how you have refined your style and comfort in front of the camera, as well as your talent behind the camera and prepping for each shot and mastering/editing. Bravo!

[@TheEmilyFromTheVideo]

girll you went hard when you went from i need a hobby to rock climbing, i can’t do a pushup correctly… athletic hobbies are the best though, something about being able to turn my thinking brain off is healing

[@dylan3017]

Saw your vid w/Colt and that was sweet...God Bless NY for bringing ppl together! I clicked on this vid and-- you didn't even need to say a word... that slow pan at the beginning-- you got my sub. Keep on slaying it!

[@ari-ty8eg]

Im really happy that I discovered your channel! Unlike other channels the cinematography and the videos you made inspire me so much and rlly help me when I feel lost and don't know what to do with my life. Thank you Riza for these comforting contents ❤️

[@Batman_Wayneoops]

this is DEFINITELY a sign that i should get back into vlogging again and combine it with my current hobby which is rock climbing.YOUR VLOGS LOOK DOPE!

[@dawn.-.]

the filming style of this video is gorgeous!

[@huyenvukhanh771]

Just wanna you to know that im just totally mesmerized with your everything (vibe, color, music, angles, storytelling..), which motivates me so much in creating my own film of my life. So keeps releasing more videos and share more about vlog production tips if you can. Thank you so much

[@Martindhoang]

Love your videos. It's always so relaxing and entertaining to watch!

[@courtepatte]

Very thankful that the youtube algorithm brought me your videos! Your storytelling and the way things flow really elevates each vlog and inspires me to pick up my camera and create more. Keep up the amazing work!

[@ryroyal.]

Great Video, glad your videos popped up on my homepage. Everyone can benefit from hobbies and trying new things! Thanks for the inspiration.

[@thewatchu5167]

I was surprised to see that you chose bouldering, bold move in my opinion. I respect that you went out of your comfort zone and dragged your friend to suffer along.

[@laTtruc]

i feel so relax even the bad things come. thank you ❤

[@ergosteur]

I was drawn in by the cinematography, stayed for the vibes. Can totally relate to the hobby to career path; still haven't really found a hobby. Good for you for getting out there! May the algorithm stay with you!

[@ModernMakeovers]

Your channel is a goldmine of creative inspiration

[@ravaiiiii]

Honestly I always love your videos, but this one? It was so sincere and I'm amazed by how much you're growing and evolving. I hope you find a hobby, by the way, and have fun!!! Congratulations for being who you are ❤️

[@karlivanr]

Instantly subscribed when KZbin recommended me your 'for those waiting for life to happen' video... love this new vid of yours! My hobbies are photography, playing football/video games with friends, and producing music sometimes. I realized how important having a hobby is in each of our lives, in a way it de-stresses our mind from the work that we've been doing the whole week lol. Work + Sleep is kinda boring and that made my burnout worse, Work + Sleep + Hobbies are what keeps the fire burning in me! 😁

[@jmna615]

Another amazing vid. From filming, editing to storytelling ahh just everything about your vids are just simply 🤌🏼 I srsly get so excited when I’ve seen you’ve uploaded a new vid :’) so glad I found your channel, keep going girl, can’t wait for the next one!! Alsooo I am loving the vlogs 🫶🏼

[@cafeconjams]

Ive been climbing for a year now and the scenes where you and your friend are just staring at the walls crack me up

[@isahaltam]

im genuinely so impressed with your videos. congrats on the recent growth!

[@buildingpickleball]

"when i was a kid, i feel like all i ever had were hobbies." that hits.

[@madhavmehta2036]

Really loving these vlogs. They're so innovative and hold your attention throughout!

[@2760db]

Your videos are so well edited, it's unreal 👏🏽

[@ethanvaccproductions314]

Oh my word…. it is insane how talented you are and yet still so different from everyone else. I am literally hooked on your videos. The style, the pacing, your use of sound and sound effects and even the way you make mini skits out of scenes of normal things like meeting up with your friend and such, absolutely incredible 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 it each video legitimately feels like watching a short film. Subscriber for life 🫡

[@sunnyduck777]

i just recently discovered your channel. I just simply fell in love with the style/aesthetics/cinematography & general messages and emotions you convey with your work. Much love from Germany

[@jessalynyepez6187]

your videos make me feel like i’m actually there with you. your work is super inspiring and i think i wanna try filmmaking out because of you 🫶🏼 keep up your hard work!!

[@OllieConnorsFilms]

Your energy and vision are so incredible. You deserve more subscribers

[@esapov]

a masterpiece. so happy to see ur channel grow, riza 🥹

[@theasandholm5892]

I watched your video about not waiting around for life to happen and that video got me hooked on your content. Loved your cinematic narrative voice and the way you film. Love this video too and the vlog aspect of it. Its cool that you have started with climbing. I just started bouldering myself and I really enjoy it. I realize that I would much rather boulder than lifting weights on the gym:))

[@made_by_eiji]

You have amazing content and a good sense in visual storytelling. I'm Glad the algorithm makes me come here. Keep up the good work!

[@azatooth1]

Found your channel yesterday and I simply cannot phantom how good and well produced your videos are

[@Zainab-sx3yd]

Riza I just wanna say that you are very underrated and I absolutely love your videos. they are like my comfort place. thank you so much for your hardwork. I admire each and every single detail in these videos♡

[@serena_bee]

Can be very intense indeed. I feel like the search for creativity is on a continuous spectrum. Once we become comfortable it feels like a chore, then it’s, onto the next 😕😌✨

[@GrowInform]

The way you do these films is incredible. Subscribed.

[@jackelangelo8034]

Just brilliant, I love how meticulously you guide the viewers eye 👏👏 great editing

[@Lensynth]

I just found your channel and your videos are so well done. New hobbies can be awesome. I started hiking trails this year with my family and it's been a lot of fun, especially since most of my current and past hobbies have been indoors.

[@srunchres]

so proud of u Riza

[@r.lum.r]

Man, I really relate, my strong hobby of music became my life, and I don’t want to do that anymore. Trying new things has been very helpful for my mental.

[@goatpasta9553]

The cinematography, the personality... You got my sub immediately. Keep it up :)

[@tochanenko]

This video is so good! And it is truly inspiring without those unnecessarily complicated quotes

[@CorrineNicole]

The type of videos I like and amazing cinematography. What a double whammy.
