Why I'm Not a Filmmaker

[@benridin1259]

I'm glad you're a KZbinr. I'm glad Matti is a filmmaker. But most of all, I'm glad you're both (and all the others) are here on KZbin because I have learned and have been inspired by you all so much. So thank you Peter and keep making the content that fulfills you. Keep up the fantastic work!

[@IdRatherBeHiking]

Matti makes films? His channel looks like the same as Peter's, gear reviews, filters etc etc.

[@JorgeHernanArcilaA]

The job of a youtuber contains many professions and I see them all in you friend, always with the best content.

[@SidneyDiongzon]

LOVE this video dude. You summed up exactly everything I feel about being a KZbinR 😎

[@PeterLindgren1]

❤️👊🏼

[@buildhuntxplore]

Well said. I thoroughly enjoy your content and look forward to getting caught up on what I've missed lately. Keep up the great work!!

[@mikenoone1034]

Just do what you love !!! I think it’s more important to be happy, then to do what’s expected of you.

[@AnthonyGugliotta]

I prefer to say I'm a "content creator" I enjoy making videos and shooting photos for both KZbin and other platforms as well. I'm definitely not a filmmaker, and because I'm still new at this it feels weird to call myself a "KZbinr". One day I'll get there, but for now, regardless of what you anyone calls themself, the most important thing is knowing your audience and being true to that!

[@carloslovesmandy248]

Even though I do not aspire to make films or be a full time youtuber, your content has helped me understand how to use my camera and associated equipment. Being a caregiver spouse keeps me somewhat bound to my house but my camera has given me an outlet to unwind my mind at times (and my Harley Davidson). Thanks for inspiring and teaching. Your reach spans oceans bro. Carlos in Alabama

[@BrianMello]

Just keep doing you Peter!

[@VegardThefilmmaker]

The most important thing is to just make what you feel excited about and share that with your KZbin audience. What label we put on whatever we do doesn't matter.

[@PeterLindgren1]

Absolutely, but i'd rather call myself a youtuber, since i by no means have the knowledge or experience of a filmmaker.

[@tiltedroom]

I've always appreciated your knowledge, honesty, and sacrifice you continue to share with us. I think we can all agree you're a combination of KZbinr, Creator, and Filmmaker! Keep going brother!

[@JohnWi11is]

This video inspired me a lot Peter... and so does a lot of your videos... thank you and keep up the great work

[@writhracing1642]

I recently got into videos and your channel is above and beyond my favorite one! Thank you!

[@pounerukifaga]

Thanks Peter! I refer to your page when I need help on how to create an effect. Thank you for all tutorials!!💪💯

[@SankalpJ3NA]

You are a filmmaker sharing his experience on KZbin so that amateur filmmaker like me can learn . You are an amazing guy.

[@yusufcaglar]

I like all your videos but mostly the fpv dives in recent Iceland trips you had. They're mind blowing.

[@melissaparks5947]

This is what I like about your channel. Fun and interesting videos and as I am no way as good at photography or videos recording you inspire me to keep trying and working to better myself.

[@secondact8027]

As a viewer and long time follower, I have to say that however you choose to define yourself, you are inspirational and beyond talented. I started my own KZbin channel a few years back and I was honestly surprised at how much work it takes to consistently create consistent content of any kind. And I come from a broadcast television background, I've worked in television news for 30 years. So THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, for all that you do and share.

[@JohnAspired]

Thank You Peter again for another awesome honest video. This is what I love about you and your content on both your channels. God Bless brother and keeping doing what you do best.

[@heiba_wk]

The point is ,we don't care what role you are, but we like what you do on youtube

[@Cinedon]

man, i don't care what you are. anyone who's this dedicated to his craft (also counts for your bodybuilding) is a legend. it shows you have work ethic and dedication to what you do. it's incredibly difficult to juggle passions with family yet here you are. blessings.

[@portodbs]

I feel the same way as I’m slowly trying to figure out my place in the world. I want to be a filmmaker but doing the freelance gigs and working at a shop has my ambition to be a KZbinr taking first place on my list. I’m just starting out and my subs will have to go up cause I’m no where so far. It’s gonna take a lot more work to get where I want to be. I’m still finding myself and my place in this KZbin world. These video it what I needed to hear. Thanks!

[@LatinosOver40]

Great words of wisdom my friend... I am just now starting my KZbin journey.. building my KZbin studio .. studying editing, audio, filming etc ... I am subscribed ....gracias amigo !!!

[@ToldbyNick]

Dude, this is awesome. I love this man. I’ve been making vids since 2015 and as of the last year, I decided to go full time with client work. About 4 months ago, I decided to make my own content - mostly short form on Instagram. It’s made me realize that I do not like being a ‘filmmaker’, but I love being a ‘creator’. Making vids about what I want to make vids about (tech, camera tips, teaching) and making it look as beautiful and “cinematic” in the process. I resonate with you super hard on this one. Keep up the excellent work, brother - one of the best KZbinrs out there 🤝

[@jimwilson717]

Sure enjoy your insights Peter! Thank you for sharing them!!

[@stormydotson]

I’m happy you are here doing what you do!! I have learned sooo much! Thank you for that!!

[@Khdbh]

Learnd a lot from you Sirrr, and the way you always explain things so clear and make it easy for us (( THANK YOU ))

[@SamFigueroa]

Awesome update. I really enjoy that you consistently stay relatable and fun to watch. ❤

[@rikomendes3694]

Ur welcome bro and thanks for teaching us how to make original videos, and please make a short film about fitness or bodybuilding 😅

[@RustyBrownPhotography]

I appreciate you, Peter! Being a KZbinr is amazing. It's important. Small guys like me need what you do, and I thank you for all you give to this platform. It matters. Cheers!

[@leeyuxin9051]

Thank you. Looking forward to seeing you again! Love ya, keep moving!

[@abhinavinsearchofthelost]

About two years ago I posted a comment on Danny Gevirtz’s channel that he replied to. I said Matti and Peter McKinnon are excellent KZbinrs but Danny is a real filmmaker on this platform. And I could tell it the day I watched his first couple of KZbin videos. So many popular KZbinrs today are confused. Just because they have a great following because of their presentation and making ‘cool videos’ on YT, it won’t make them filmmakers. If that was the case, Peter McKinnon’s documentary would have been out by now. I know it will someday though with the help of other filmmakers. McKinnon is one of the best performers on KZbin and I absolutely adore him but sadly he isn’t a filmmaker. People can do whatever they want to but artists are born, they ain’t made. Peace and love to all ❤️

[@foxdenham]

Regardless of any given title, you create great work. Keep doing 'You' my friend. We are all the better for it.

[@mirodavis3152]

Thank you for bringing us your videos! They are awesome!

[@MicaelWidell]

Nothing wrong with being a KZbinr. I identify more as a KZbinr than as a photographer, because I make my money from KZbin, not from the photos. And I'm not doing exhibitions, books etc. like other photographers. Being a youtuber rocks :)

[@thesh_mikey]

Appreciate you Peter! I've learned a ton through the years watching your channel.

[@foxtailmedia8189]

Thanks for who you are. You inspired me to actually make how to style vids for my niche. Also using your plugins 😎. But we do all should do what we like without caring who’s judging. Keep doing you. Keep inspiring. Keep creating

[@Axe_North]

Man you’re vidéo was the right answer to matti video! I wish one day to be full time youtuber ! Thanks for all the content ! Love from qc !

[@cristianmonrey]

Du ger fan i att sluta vara en youtube:r!! Punkt slut!! Du är en otrolig inspiration. Dina videor hjälper! Genom dig har jag lärt mig saker där jag kört fast. Har nog sett dina klipp om o om igen i månader. Lärt mig massor. Tack vare det du gör bli många av oss bättre redigerare osv osv. Tack för att du gör det du gör o sluta inte Peter!! Kör hårt gubben!

[@racemode]

Thank you to all KZbin Creators for making me want to pick up a camera.

[@MindfulGrinds]

Totally a dope dig on Mattie! Love it!

[@Kaiu24]

Totally agree. Another inspiring video and as always has helped me escape that feeling of imposter syndrome. Thanks for the great advise and look forward to the next one!

[@AndreSjoberg]

If it looks like a filmmaker, and smells like a filmmaker, and behaves like a filmmaker … maybe not a feature film filmmaker, but a filmmaker making films for youtube - but whatever the «label» it’s still quality and that’s all that matters :)

[@cannonhiniker]

keep killing it G 👊

[@italico2792]

Hi Peter, I also love creating stuff like you. I love editing, creating thumbnails, creating a community from all over the world and I'm thinking about opening a YT channel. I'm so self-conscious tho about it. The fact to be exposed to the public, the idea that your family may watch your channel it's lil bit scary. You show such a talent for creation, and I'm like you but I don't have skills yet. I know I can learn and improve but I don't kinda see myself behind the camera. Being a youtuber is a proper job, it's not a joke. It requires lots of knowledge for sure

[@GavinDavidson]

Nice one bro, good vibes on your channel ❤

[@michelvincent3470]

[@PeterLindgren1]

Just regular steadyshot

[@stillflight9630]

@@PeterLindgren1 thanks😉

[@fredrhoadesiii8296]

✌️😎👍 I really think that KZbin has blurred the lines between what we know as a traditional filmmaker / storyteller and the future of telling stories / documentaries / news events. When you are doing and loving what you do it doesn’t matter what you call it, or what equipment you use! Keep having fun and being real!

[@mr.atkins]

Peter, all your videos would be insanely motivated to take a camera and shoot! And to shoot for myself) and I have noticed for a long time that it turns out better than shooting for someone... Thank you for the positive!)😊

I love it! Matti is not a KZbinr and you are not a filmmaker, and here I’m both! 😂 identity crisis 😅

[@PNWMOTION]

Dude not going to lie, about a year ago which you mentioned where you went into the realm of high end gear and stuff, I stopped watching you because honestly I was so burnt out by KZbinrs constantly pushing gear and making me feel like no matter how much I spent or obtained I would never reach that point. But I'm glade to see you dialed it back to before and I will pay a little more attention to your channel because honestly, there aren't a ton of channels out there that are just one big gear push instead of focusing on content creation. So thanks for recognizing this.

[@TuckerPearce]

Well played Peter and so well said. I respect Matti’s decision but I feel like he could have done everything he wanted to do regarding his next steps and just said less about it. Show us don’t tell us as we are often told to do when creating videos…

Yes you are all of the things you say you are. Is an entrepreneur any of them? while you make KZbin videos, you did make a business and you support yourself, your venture (as it were) as a KZbinr because of how you run your business.

Do you think that's risk? 😅 Cause my main channel is my vlog channel but i wanna make creative vids differ content but make it call series. Art series, Minecraft Edition series. Show series, short film and documentaries. Is like im running like a tv channel. I'm a youtuber but also filmmaker.

[@the_mig]

I feel Matti has lost his path a little lately ( even his hair was let go lately .. lol ) .. hopefully he will come back but I hope he doesn’t burn the relationship he built with the viewers that gave him all the opportunities that KZbin opened for him ..

[@makasii]

aren't successful people, those who follow their heart and art and take risks? or are these the ones who just follow like sheep, to satisfy their horny followers (who btw do NOTHING else than consume for free, and still allow themselves to have expectations). just a spontaneous question.

[@Eyeofkamau]

Matti earned those opportunities himself with his hardwork - viewership is a piece of that, not the entirety.
