5 Minutes of Embarrassing, Uncut Footage Full of Awkward Pauses and Mistakes

[@travishaines]

Pat: "I'm gonna be awkward to help you". Me: "Wow. That actually helped. A lot..." Thanks Pat for being genuine.

[@mysunsationallife2233]

Surprisingly...Totally lol

[@McCoy_Buck]

Dude yes! You have no idea how helpful this is to a lot of us!

[@Sonu872_]

Yes bro, this video is very very helpful to the ones who have to create content( video) sometimes i have a thought like why I are not perfect like them but after this video all my doubts are cleared, cheers...

[@KevinFremon]

OMG! 😂 I’ve never laughed so hard out of pure relatability. This is me every time I hit record. Good on you for doing a true BTS video. You’re RAD!!

[@sarahjurina6909]

Ditto

[@kevinwcyu]

I'm going to watch this before filming and editing everyone of my future KZbin videos. Awesome video, Pat!

[@joaocezimbra8678]

I rarely give a thumbs up for videos, but when I do, it's for videos like this: genuinely inspiring and open hearted made. Congratulations!

[@davidd8416]

I was thinking the exact same thing!

[@lyvkirah]

Same here

[@ricardotech10]

Theo same thing here

[@raymondchatwinfilms7542]

I'm so proud of you. Don't be ashamed of doing whatever it takes even when it makes you uncomfortable.

[@Monoperty]

You have just helped me to realise that I’m actually doing ok. Seeing you struggle the same way I do, has given me more confidence! Thanks Pat. And the captions are hilarious 😂 I have all sorts of thoughts going through my head too. Thanks again 👍 #TeamFlynnfortheWin

[@nicholasmendez]

Yes this is truly inspiring because just watching the finished and polished product of amazing podcaster like you intimidate us as beginners. This really motivates me to just let the record roll and use PAUSES! You truly showed how effective it can be so you don't script everything out! Thanks Pat!

[@Tronicsfix]

I can't tell you how much I love this video. This is me EVERY TIME I make a video! Thank you.

[@jessicamdenham]

This is one of the best video I’ve ever seen on KZbin!!!! Thank you Pat!!!!

[@IvanMaras84]

I just want to give you a hug after this.

[@patflynn]

(Hugs)

[@thermant8452]

😂😂😂😂 this was hilarious. I actually laughed out loud at them captions. To Pat: you got super popular in the blogging space when you set yourself apart with your income reports. All you have to do is think that same way with your videos. But for what it's worth, your last few videos have been REALLY good. They were informative , but also very entertaining. Keep doing your thing.

[@ffstyle]

Thank you for sharing this Pat! This is a very helpful video to remind the perfectionists like myself who tend to spend way to much time on planning, even on getting the script and the outline ready first before moving onto the filming and postproduction parts. Great reminder for me to just take imperfect actions.

[@PassiveIncomeTom]

*Thanks for the transparency and tips in your video Pat!* 👍

[@bobolaska]

This is the best video i have ever watched on KZbin as an Entrepreneur.its as if you were mimicking me.its as if you knew my weaknesses.its as if u saw me doing exactly what you have demonstrated.Pat thats exactly what has been disturbing me.distructions,perfections,lack of confidence,etc.this is a video which talks and speaks to me directly.its as if you used Voodoo to read my minds.thats exactly me

[@eb-art5608]

This is AWESOME! Thank you so much for sharing what reeeally goes on when making a YT video.. Massively appreciated. What a way to inspire creators to just hit record and remember the magic of the edit.. and... the final result is just brilliant!! 😀✨

[@user-hl2uc5kj1e]

Wow thank you so much for posting this Pat! I admire your courage to dare to be vulnerable and sharing this.. I’m glad to know that this means we’re all normal and there’s nothing wrong with messing up on my videos when I record..

[@TheperfectfrenchwithDylane]

My filming ratio is 2:1 Film for 20 minutes, release 10 minutes. so for 10 minutes I put my hair back 255 times, repeat the same sentence 45 times, drink water, wait for the loud trucks driving by to go away, etc etc. Editing and light is everything.

[@AZisk]

I don’t know about embarrassing, but the commentary is hilarious! Thanks for sharing the awkward that we go through.

[@13zedart]

Thanks for the perspective buddy! Wow that’s big of you to do and you’re so right about overthinking! I’m taking it all in man 👍🏼

[@Area13ebikes]

Haha! Thanks for the sneak peak. If only people knew the ridiculousness of KZbin's best videos....

[@shelbyforsythiagriefguide]

Pat this is AWESOME. You helped me launch my podcast all about grief and loss back in 2017 and it's still going strong! The captions on this video totally make it. Very reminiscent of those doggo videos where people are trying to interpret what dogs are thinking.

[@IanKnowland]

This is the most timely, mind-ready videos you’ve ever done for me, man. Thank you.

[@LeeLaunches]

Thanks Pat! Really encouraging video! Published 1 new video since watching and also shared with my daughter as part of her home education curriculum! "Stop giving a crap and just get it out there! "

[@annette2687]

Your transparency in this video is such a gift to #teamflynn! I can't tell you how inadequate I felt about 'pushing record' before this video! Thanks so very much!

[@TransplantHelper]

This was totally awesome. I’ve been a public speaker for 18 years and a KZbinr for the last 3. I generally keep trying until I get my videos in one smooth take with no edits. I make plenty of mistakes and start over time and time again. You validated how great a video can been even if you only get one line at a time and edit properly. Thanks for sharing and encouraging us all.

[@AsanaKickstart]

This is one of my favorite videos you've ever made. Thank you for being so open and personal. It makes success feel attainable. Thanks for everything!

[@Aristocob]

Thanks for the transparency, Pat. That was quite encouraging.

[@csmith13364]

Thank you for showing this. I get so distracted so easily. Knowing how professional your videos and your podcasts come across, it's very reassuring to see that things behind the scenes aren't always the polished product up front.

[@FrankMendoza]

Pure Genius! This video is the very reason you have SUPERFANS! Always raw, real and helpful even at the risk of exposing yourself. #teamflynn #4theWin

[@yourblueskytime]

Thank you so much for this Pat! I thought I was the only one that messed up so much and took so long to record anything! I really needed to see this, thanks again for your pure honesty and just always being you! 🙏

[@theellenpham]

This made me laugh. Thanks, Pat, for showing us that you don't need to be perfect on KZbin. In fact, your 'imperfections' are what make you great.

[@ImSimplyADad]

Thanks Pat! Really nice to see the pros messing up or letting their minds wander while they're trying to record! Great video!

[@iainlowe]

Thanks so much for posting this, Pat! The sincerity of this video truly makes it one in a million especially coming from somebody like you who has been so active in podcasting and on KZbin. This is one of the most inspiring, comforting and relatable videos I’ve seen in a while. 🙏

[@ankushchoubeymusic]

This was the best video I have seen in a while. I had performance anxiety looking at other people's finished products. Every time I learn about what happens behind the scenes I realize that everyone is the same. Even people I aspire to be like. I just need to finish what I start. Thank you!

[@BeyondTheGuitar]

Holy crap I love this so much. This alone sold me on you for life, Mr. Flynn. Thanks for being so real. I relate to this soooo hard 😅

[@DommiesBlessed]

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this Pat! Thank you so much for being so vulnerable and sharing with us. Preciate it!

[@kbug8884]

Pat this is amazing!!!!!! 😂 I love seeing behind the scenes

[@cherbear9893]

Pat, this is by far one of the most helpful KZbin videos I've ever watched on the subject of KZbin. I've wanted to start a channel for over a YEAR, even investing in fancy gear and courses and making plans, but I've yet to make a single video and "not looking like an idiot" is exactly why. I think I have a project for this weekend :)

[@murrmurr2047]

👏👏👏👏👏 Your material got me here, your authenticity has kept me here.

[@skylerharrison]

I’ve always wanted someone to post something like this! Pat coming in clutch again!!

[@michaeld7319]

I really enjoy seeing what goes behind the scenes! Thank you for sharing!

[@John_Troch]

Pat, this is an awesome video. Thank you for being real.

[@NativeRealEstate]

This is amazing Pat. I have a lot of unedited footage like this that is just sitting around. No more... onward! Also - I laughed so hard during this video. Your captions were so hilarious and so real. Thanks for the inspiration, the good laugh and for being authentic.

[@JoannaVentour]

Pat! I laughed SO hard at this!! It was also EXACTLY the motivation I needed to get started. Thank you so much for your honesty

[@attilamato278]

Pat, this was awesome. Many thanks and hats off for this episode!

[@AnneliSchmidt]

I really appreciate you sharing this! As someone who can’t talk when the camera turns on I feel like I have some hope now!

[@sarahjurina6909]

You'll get more comfortable too.

[@AndrewBrownInvesting]

That was a cool idea to show raw footage. I get so weird on the camera too and need to just post more. Your a good guy Pat, keep it up

[@DavidCathers42]

What a HOOT Pat ! Thanks for sharing this video. Everyone should watch this then take the advice!!!

Love the captioning with the "awkward" moments. ha ha Thanks, Pat!

[@alexisbravo92]

This was awesome. Thanks for doing this, Pat! Super inspiring!

[@ufoneon]

I think this video is great. Most of youtubers do not want to show their true selfs, they act, actually they are good actors, but i think that the more natural you are the better, if you are happy, you show it, if you are sad, you show that to, because that's the way life is, sometimes you're happy sometimes you're angry and that's the way you should do your videos, why give a fake impression. Thanks Pat, we all need more realism on youtube and less fakeness.

[@SummitForWellness]

This was seriously one of the best behind the scenes to watch. Even doing intros/outros for my podcast my brain freezes and I have to spend time processing what I want to say. Then I started just writing out an outlined script and read from it (without sounding like a robot). But every time I think about doing video, it seems exhausting because of how many times I would stop to think. It's great to see that even the most polished people run into the same issues!

[@davyrogersuk]

This is EXACTLY how it goes.... Brilliant video, you nailed it. :)

[@Ameriachi-Iam]

This is what those afraid to jump in the water need to know and see. Exceptional idea to put something like this out. Thanks Pat!

[@catherinefairweather9936]

That was the best. The juggling was my favorite part. Really so helpful as I feel so awkward when I create content. I would have never thought that was what your uncut roll was like. I always think your production quality is super high and perfect.

[@YummyInspirations]

Thank you so much for sharing, this is brilliant and so inspiring.

[@wacalu]

I love every second. Please never delete this!

[@SBBmaster]

Super relate.. 😂 so happy you made a video like this, it becomes very authentic if you did things like these. Started with the same and keep on fixing my camera every take but as soon as I learned about just shoot, let the editing do the work I've been like this. Thanks Pat for always inspiring us to provide value at the same time showing all the works behind it.

[@burner918]

This is so honest and so inspiring. Thanks Pat. Respect!

[@holdthewinds]

WOw! You don't KNOW -- how MUCH I had to see this video!!! This is perfect. I can relate so well..... Thank you !!

[@bernardjosephburch470]

This was SO GOOD, Pat! i'm so inspired. This makes things so much easier. Merci beaucoup!

[@EngageBen]

Love this Pat. This is exactly what I look like when recording an 'unscripted' video. The staring at the camera gathering my thoughts is exactly me... thanks man.

[@jsavannah]

This was SO HELPFUL. I need to do more jump cuts. What I do now is go back and re-record segments like those 2-3 times until I am smooth. It takes a lot longer my way. Thank you for showing another way.

[@ScottWinterbourne]

Haha, OMG I thought I was the only one that does this while the camera is rolling. This is great Pat, thank you for sharing. This is a great reminder that it doesn't have to be perfect and we don't need to be afraid of making mistakes. I have put some bloopers at the end of a couple of my videos they they has some good responses.

[@jesusgireaud]

So inspiring, so revealingly!!! Thank you so much for this.

[@ashutoshnirmal]

This is one of the best video I've seen recently. Funny but relatable. Every time I record, I do these things but as a new KZbinr, I thought that just me. Thanks for the video.

[@3Curtise]

Keepin' it real Pat. Love it! Keep up the good work!

[@VickiONeill]

That was an equal combination of hilarious and helpful! As awkward as that may have been, thank you for putting yourself out there and showing that we can't all be One Take Jake's.

[@MuralPaintingServices]

this was great to watch! this serves as a good reminder that people need to just put out content, it will always improve over time!

[@EricWalkerDC]

🤣😂😅 Love love love!! Thank you so much! Very helpful and hilarious!!

[@intentionalmoneymn4572]

Getting over myself has been the biggest thing holding me back with making my videos. I wanted everything perfect before I started, but it won't become perfect until after I start. I've begun the journey and realized anything is better than nothing. Now time to improve on what I've done so far.

[@economicinfo823]

This is relatable AND helpful! Thanks pat! Team Flynn for the win

[@ParmyBaddhan]

I can relate to this so much. People don't realise that this is how it is really done. Obviously the longer you do something the better you get at it and there are less mistakes. However we are human and we all make mistakes now and again. We end up comparing ourselves too much to other people instead of just doing the damn thing. Paralysis by analysis. I'm 100% sure that this video will help everybody to hit that record button and go for it!

[@pranavkhanna4232]

Thanks for sharing this. It takes out a lot of the embarrassment that I assume I will feel. Now to record !

[@TedSedler]

Pat, I cannot tell you how great this was. I was smiling the entire time. So glad you put it out there. Was great to see you in an awkward place, like many of us can find ourselves in. Great behind the scenes. It's easy to get in your own way and give up before you even try. Love the comment you made about "others looking so perfect, so why should I even try". You try because you have a voice and a desire to truly help and serve others. Thanks Man. I appreciate what you do. Keep at it.

[@patflynn]

Thanks so much Ted!

[@Ze_Zhenya]

Pat, you’re amazing !!! Yes, you showed us that we should just put it out there !! We were procrastinating for a few days and you motivated us with this video, just in time :D And we laughed really hard because we saw ourselves from the side 😂 Didn’t expect that everybody was this „awkward“ 😂

[@leeann5786]

Wow, as someone who's yet to post their first vid, for some weird reason i assumed I was the only one who whose unedited footage looked like this - this was sooo funny and reassuring, considering the end result is so smooth and engaging, thank you!

[@PabloAGarcia73]

Thank you for making this video! I almost never leave a comment, but this one video has been incredibly helpful. Thank you, and keep up the great work!

[@SpaD389]

This is why I listen to your podcast, follow you around the interweb and subscribe to your youtube. You always put out great content man. Absolutely love this and I know everyone else will as well, because it's DIFFERENT and you don't care what people think. Lol. This is GOLD man. Keep up the great work!

[@GuyBisuku]

😂😂 Thanks Pat... Good to know that this doesn't just happen to me... but even to the best of us!

[@edubicuo]

This is wonderful, Pat. Such an inspiring and motivational video. Thank you so much.

[@coolgraycats]

Pat, thanks for this video. Makes me excited to hit "record" and shoot some more of that fabulous C-Roll (Crap) footage. Inspiring stuff!!

[@politaimpelli9950]

LOL! Can't stop laughing my God! Thans so much for such an inspiration and honesty. You rock ;-)

[@ellerise9753]

Your message is great! Thank you for sharing!

[@ThomasMoen]

This is great! Thank you for sharing Pat!

[@robinc3672]

Hesitation is one of the big killer for me. Seriously this video is game changing. i am gonna watch it whenever i dont want to be in front o the camera. definitely the best video of Pat Flynn :) Thanks Pat. You are amazing. Stay awesome :)

[@TechWrite]

Pat, I think this is your best ever video :-) I loved it. Funny, frank, educational, inspirational.

[@joelmharrison]

Haha! Thanks pat this is amazing. Definitely makes me feel better about my own clunky process as I get started :)

[@sarahjurina6909]

This was hysterical. I do a LOT of the same things when I record. I love to keep the bloopers for the end!

[@BookLaunchers]

Way to own that empty space at the end. Great video. Thanks.

[@emergence3702]

Thank you very much for this video. I am encouraged and hopefully will start soon !

[@MenaVee]

This video is PRICELESS!! I so needed to see it!! Thank you sooo much for your courage and putting this out! It has inspired me like no other video to finally take the plunge!! Thank you!!

[@Elementar]

Great video, really inspiring. Do you script out you video before? Use a teleprompter or bullet points to keep it on track?

[@ShariKaye]

Oh wow! At first I was thinking I’m not going to sit here and watch this whole video... but here I am. Oddly, it was inspiring. I laughed the entire video. Not at you... well maybe at you ...but more so because it was so freaking relatable. No more excuses. I’m just going to post. Thanks for sharing!

[@SethPerler]

this was a good one. I do my youtube in one take nowadays (literally, yep, I got good at that) but for my courses and a few vids I do EXACTLY WHAT YOU DO and the unedited is just like that. Awesome idea to publish this Pat

[@CalmingAnxiety]

Actually , this made my day. Thanks :)

[@kimberleeoneal358]

🤣 Brutal! THANK YOU so much for this!

[@wonmoreminute]

Wow, that was amazing (in a good way). Thank you for sharing this!

[@NoJobRob]

Pat - What would you say is your ratio of recording time vs. video time? I'm at about 5 minutes of footage for one 1 minute published but you definitely remind me of myself when I'm struggling to navigate takes. Thanks for the inspiration as this has been way more of a bottleneck for me than it needs to be
