make aesthetic videos in an ugly space

[@treacadelic]

That young man is going to grow up with a lot of love, honesty, and a fantastic role model. There's a huge amount of truth in this video.

[@AaronReactivated]

Hope this video helps. I didn’t want to overwhelm anyone with the gear talk but i forgot to mention portrait mode on your phone. If you decide to just use your phone, you can use the portrait mode to blur out your background the same as i would with my longer lenses. I 100% started filming content with my phone and windows movie maker. Don’t let the gear hold you back!

[@ChefShaylaMD]

Loved this! I just started using that self portrait mode feature

[@Lifewithcressi]

I love your editing style. It’s actually really aesthetic even in an unaesthetic environment.

[@AaronReactivated]

Thank you so much Cressida, i just try to keep it simple. So kind of you

[@Lifewithcressi]

@ I think I got to work on my story telling skills too 🤣😌

[@AaronReactivated]

@ stick with it you’ll get it in time. there’s a lot to learn!

[@Lifewithcressi]

@ thank u for the advice! 🤗

[@scripty2k]

This video is so underrated

[@AaronReactivated]

much appreciated, hope it helps a little

[@eliahpablo9002]

Trueee. So real. Thanku

[@jakejayme1323]

Man this is so relatable:)) next video is how you script or structure videos! Love to see your process...

[@danielclifton4589]

This is a great video. I learned so much in it. I love your lighting philosophy, “you just have to have well-placed lighting.” “Lighting is ultimately about conveying emotion…light it appropriately for that.” You’re advice is spot on and you really demonstrate how the rest of us - those without big budgets and lots of professional equipment - can create impactful videos right in our own average homes. Thanks so much!

[@AaronReactivated]

This comment really touched me, thank you so much for the kind words. I really am glad to hear this helped.

[@HoodedBeautyASMRBecca]

Great video it can be very intimidating when you want to record, but you don't have the environment that others may have because it's not as fancy or glamorous as others but the reality is so many of us don't have lots of money and a glamorous looking life and there is nothing wrong with that but we can work with what we have.Thank you such a great video.

[@DJTheBoss]

Dude this is an incredible video. Definitely made a fan out of me. I cant wait to check out more of your content.

[@AaronReactivated]

Wow really appreciate it. If you have any other requests let me know. It’s great filler content for my normal vlogs. Thanks for checking me out

[@theoliviadesantos]

This is such a fantastic video topic that I didn't know I needed! I just moved and feel so self conscious about my empty space that it's stopped me from filming. This helped so much. Thank you!

[@AaronReactivated]

@@theoliviadesantos glad you got something out of the video. Appreciate you taking the time to watch

[@lykaaytz]

Thanks it give me hopes coz i swear i try to clean my mess but just my brain idk it prefers to get stuff chaotic it makes me easier to find what i need than have them organize so I’m ashamed showing people how i really live 😢

[@veronikas.1347]

Oh, I like your style. This should be popular.

[@AaronReactivated]

Much appreciated

[@JordanHouston]

great video, thanks Aaron

[@AaronReactivated]

Thanks for watching Jordan

[@ShondaD_]

I subscribed in like 20 secs into the video😂. One of the reasons why I do not post from my apartment is because it’s not aesthetically appealing, plus I do not have furniture for real🤷🏽‍♀️.

[@AaronReactivated]

Totally understand but it’s nice to follow the journey. You’re never gonna complain about having too many memories to enjoy in the future 😊

[@Cashmere_Thoughts]

IMO lighting and the general color/color grade of your vid is a BIG part of it being esthetically pleasing. Great advice, I will definitely keep these tips in mind. I want to switch up my filming style alil as Ive found myself drown to certain style/look lately

[@AaronReactivated]

Thank you so much for your kind words. Best of luck on your creative journey

[@deondriamichelle]

This is what we need

[@AaronReactivated]

Thanks for watching, hope it helps!

[@hectormorales8471]

Wow so glad KZbin suggested your channel. Great job! 🙏🏼

[@AaronReactivated]

Thanks, glad you found me!

[@AllThingsFilm1]

Great suggestions. One of the better videos I've seen on the subject.

[@AaronReactivated]

Much appreciated glad you got something out of it

[@brianlewis1449]

Awesome video as always! Watching your journey is sparking my interest in restarting my channel.

[@AaronReactivated]

Thanks man, get out here the more the merrier

[@RockWILK]

Cool video. People are always asking me to give lighting tutorials, but I actually use the same lights that you use. :-) I was about to invest in some bigger more professional lights, but I realized that what I have gives me exactly what I want. Already. I used those little Neewer lights for two feature films. Lol. What I love about this video is that it breaks down the barrier that most people think stands before them. Great work, thanks for sharing.

[@AaronReactivated]

Thank you so much, definitely wanted to make it seem simple because it is. Just takes more effort on the front end but anyone can learn, thank you for tuning in

[@wearetrackclub]

This is super helpful, Aaron! Great tips, really like your video style too 👌

[@AaronReactivated]

Thank you so much happy to help

[@fujiclimber]

So glad I found this channel. I’m trying to start my vlog after losing everything and ending up in a caravan (do they have caravans in the US?). The thing I’m struggling with is the daily routine of a vlogger. What does your ideal day look like when you’re vlogging?

[@AaronReactivated]

@@fujiclimber you can make it happen just gotta get out of your head. Sorry about losing your gear that’s a bummer but as long as you have a phone there’s still hope my friend. Check out a video i made called “boring day in the life of a single dad” that video was made entirely in one unremarkable day and people loved it. I’m literally cleaning my bathtub in the video! We never know what people will like you just have to make things but I’ll definitely consider your topic for a future video

[@fujiclimber]

@@AaronReactivated ngl, I'll be stealing as many ideas from you as I can. :) I might not be quite as cool as you, but 20% will do me. Thanks mate!

[@nhatkyluhanh]

Really helpful video. This man deserve more views and subs 👍👍

[@AaronReactivated]

Thank you so much, happy to help

[@jays.experience]

Great video!

[@MetalDetectingMermaid]

This is a great video! I live in a very basic house in the jungle. I don't have hot water, I don't have a kitchen, I don't even have a floor. I've wanted to do KZbin for ages but felt so uncomfortable having my basic, rustic house on camera. I have this metal detecting channel, but your video inspires me to start another channel I've wanted to do for a long time. Thank you.

[@AaronReactivated]

Thank you! You haven’t always consider your audience. Even from your comment I’m fascinated about what life in the jungle is like so the things you may think are undesirable may actually be interesting. If you shoot anything with a modern camera phone and some light it just looks far more interesting than it does with the naked eye. Best of luck on your journey

[@MetalDetectingMermaid]

@@AaronReactivated Thank you for taking the time to comment. I've had a fair amount of people express interest in seeing my daily life. After five years, I'm ready to do it. Your video was the push I needed. Thank you again. I've subbed to your channel and will enjoy more of your videos.

[@Cashmere_Thoughts]

New subbie! Appreciate the tips

[@AaronReactivated]

Appreciate hope this helps. This one is definitely out of my niche but i thought i might offer a more simplistic approach to the topic. Thanks for watching and if my other content isn’t for you totally understand

[@jakejayme1323]

Dang! I thought you are using high end camera huhuhuhu beautiful video man!

[@AaronReactivated]

Nah i try to keep it as cheap as possible. Story is king, thanks for watching

[@TinySpace2024]

Wait... For years, I wanted to post videos of where I live, how I set up my photo booth, etc... The one thing that held me back, is my cluttered apartment. By the time I cleaned, organized, and made the house picture-perfect, I had already lost the passion and desire and sold all of my camera equipment. Now, I hear we should post. Don't be afraid? YES! I am with you all. Because you have to see what I am doing daily. Yes, it's boring but fun!

[@AaronReactivated]

That’s absolutely it. Embrace the clutter, it’s inevitable. You’ll spend all your time cleaning instead of recording. Looking forward to your content, thanks for checking out my channel

[@kennyamar_]

Amazing video man!

[@AaronReactivated]

Thank you so much, i really hope this helped in some small way

[@Umamielle]

what do you use to color grade / edit? excellent video!

[@AaronReactivated]

I use the free version of davinci resolve, nothing fancy. I color correct and throw on a basic lut i made on one of my early videos, definitely try not to complicate things. Thanks for your questions and appreciate you watching

[@I_am_Mac]

Amazing work as always. It will definitely help me. But, is this not the type of video you were trying to avoid making?

[@AaronReactivated]

Thanks! You’re right it wasn’t the video i intended to make initially but i had a conversation recently that changed my mind. I probably won’t make too many of these but i also didn’t want to rush the video i had planned. Sometimes i have to let my ideas breathe a bit and i can’t let my upload schedule force my hand. I think i found a balance with this, we’ll see how it goes. Hope this one helps, looking forward to more of your stuff

[@I_am_Mac]

Ahh. Makes sense. Appreciate the response.
