That was actually very VERY inspiring. I can tell you put quite a bit of thought into that. I kinda needed that... as I've been hitting a wall with my content lately... and perhaps this is why....

[@Mumbo]

Thank you very much! Everyone hits creative blocks occasionally, just keep working through!

[@gerbs4009]

Mumbo Vlogs I know where you filmed that ;D great video btw, i am now truely inspired 😊

[@aydentaylor2942]

FamilyCraft Dad same!

[@hitthemill8595]

this is to fucking good is like an high budget documentary

[@Mumbo]

Haha, thank you :)

[@LucasP11]

Agreed

[@Furree_68]

Thoughtful and a totally adequate analysis Mumbo. That's why I liked your mini documentary with Otter, it had a story as well as a super nice photo. As goes for the films you did with Creative North. I loved them.

[@tylerwhetstone527]

WOW, Mumbo. This was truly amazing both visually and story wise. Absolutely stunning. I never get tired of seeing these videos!

[@benedikt2ndchannel342]

And then KZbin says: “not suitable for advertisers“ Not a joke. Literally.

[@DarkDingle]

I just discovered this channel of yours, and after watching this video I can't stop watching more of your content, bravo!

[@Valor4540]

He also has a minecraft channel, Mumbo Jumbo :)

[@samboatshop3658]

Amazing!!! Great vid and great quality!!!!

[@duccgg]

This is amazing You really know how to connect with people Playing Minecraft is another aspect of your life but while film making you are a whole new guy While playing you might be a big spoon but when it comes to filmmaking you really connect to it That's why I like you Mumbo You have inspired a lot of guys out there I gave up on photography about 2 years ago after my camera broke but after I came across your channel I just thought to my self why just give up Now I still don't have a camera but I try to take the best shots that I could get from my Redmi Note 4 Thank you Mumbo

[@Mumbo]

I'm super pleased that you're getting back into it! Keep at it, you won't regret it! :)

[@duccgg]

Mumbo Vlogs 😃

[@gamethirstygamer0731]

I love it when you upload on the film channel!

[@mercermacwilliamhughes9717]

Thank you so so so so so much for making this video. I'm studying Moving Image Arts at A Level, and our exam board cares NOTHING for story... A bunch of nice visuals in your film, is literally all you need to do to make a full mark movie... But having a more emotionally deep and investing story won't help you... And because how you tell that good story is one of the hardest parts of filmmaking, I really think that should be a bigger focus for film studies in school...

[@Mumbo]

I agree! :)

[@jay_fox5342]

Only you can make a helpful video about filmmaking and attach something to it so it is emotioal... and this is why I love videos like that :) Thanks for doing projekts like this Mumbo

[@riverplasmahero2508]

Awesome video as always! Your videos continually blow me away. I feel like story is one of those things you start thinking about and keep expanding on over time. I'm going to have to start paying attention for this now. Can't wait to see what you do next! Thanks Mumbo!!! :D

[@joshuanelson5212]

Mumbo, i think this is your best vlog video yet. A film/video without a set story and emotion doesn't leave the audience touched by what they have just watched. If someone is making a movie with all the fancy film gear and equipment, but they don't have a unique and solid story, no one will leave that video satisfied. You can blow someone away with just a simple camera, and a solid story filled with the right emotion and tone. That is why i like watching you mumbo, you are a great amazing film producer. You are one of the very first youtubers who got me stuck into more advanced film. Keep the good work up!

[@byeguyswhathello]

Stunning.

[@lathri5380]

Love these videos the quality is at the peak of perfection

[@YTc0mparn]

This video gave me goosebumps, I really love your way of filming and describing things! Me myself are very interested in film, it's very often that I watch a movie and instead of enjoying it like others I watch the camerawork and the post work like CC and the edits. I don't really know how to explain but I really like your look of films!

[@sidhant4647]

MUMBO..... CONGRATS ON 2 MILLION. Love your videos!

[@taylordavispomerleau]

Amazing! You are so wise. This made my day :) Can't wait to see another video!

[@tombuck]

Great way of simply explaining a complex concept! I love your examples of “what not to do” because it’s so easy to do them by accident. Just because something has a beginning, middle, and end doesn’t mean it’s a good story.

[@reworkgaming1202]

Wow, you've seriously inspired me to take up a bit of photography mumbo. Now everywhere I go I look like a fool, crouching down and lying on my face to take a picture of a cool twig, and I love it. You rock!

[@Mumbo]

Do it! Some of the poses I get into are absolutely ridiculous! haha!

[@nielsberghs8725]

Great video man!❤ Keep up te good work👊

[@benedikt2ndchannel342]

Stunning. I LOVE your Vlogs. I rarely give videos a “like“, but this one deserves it.

[@Mumbo]

Thank you very much :)

[@kittumourya]

@@Mumbo XD

[@archie6472]

I love this style of video, keep up the good work!!

[@marcuskivirinta5980]

One word Beautifull. This is sooooooooooo good,Keep up the good work Mumbo!!

[@nawafthegreat4666]

A different approach and guess what .....I'm loving it from the shots taken to the narrating everything was just mind-blowing more mumbo more .

[@mateomravunac9699]

This guy is epic.. I don't have words to describe my feelings about his videos. 🙂 Keep up good work 😉

[@leah3777]

Yeah, that is really cool

[@originalname6231]

I always struggle with the stories. This video really helped!

[@Mumbo]

I'm glad, I struggle a lot too!

[@anshul19]

this is the side of Mumbo we have rarely seen. Beautiful video and really inspiring. Loved it.

[@CathuluWantsACat]

Best way to enjoy Mumbo's video-- Highest Quality && Max volume..... Awesome Work Mumbo!

[@Pocketabowl]

Getting better and better! And your film making is better than ever which is just AMAZING! I loved every second of this video! Can't wait to see more!

[@steveandrews6635]

That opening was phenomenal, If I didn't know better I would think it was professionally done! Loving you progress man, super inspring.

[@jackmoroney3785]

It was made by Mumbo, by my standards, that _is_ professional.

[@davidreyngoudt3472]

Jack Moroney I was thinking the same thing

[@jasonmunson8295]

hey Mumbo, you amaze me in what you do and you have inspired me to take photography in school so i can be just like you. keep up the great content and please do these videos more but anyway im giving this one a big thumbs up!!! have a great day. :)

[@squarebodyseth5986]

Brilliant and amazing work!

[@aryan.l7894]

Mumbo I really like this new kind of style. Been here since 700k

[@freddyspaghetti1055]

I've been here since 4K!

[@melvinmakada4617]

Absolutely Brilliant 🔥 Speaks a lot about what people really want to do but never seem to do it and I love that you've shed some light onto it

[@Mumbo]

Thank you :)

[@zachwilcock6199]

I’m 15 and my dad has been giving very similar advice to that which you gave at the end, but he never wrapped it up in a nice little bow like you did. I’m kind of blown away that you’ve wrapped up some scattered thoughts that I’ve been thinking. It’s very helpful not just for filming, but also interacting with people every day. It’s always good to consider that people have their own life. And now you’ve gotten me thinking. Here’s another way to look at it. Talking to anybody is like talking to someone who’s an expert in their craft. If I’ve never fished before, then I don’t know anything about how an expert fisherman fishes. Everyone is an expert at their own life. And though everyone else doesn’t know much about it, it’s important to realize that just living day to day is kind of like rocket science. There’s a lot to know and the science is different for each person. I hope that’s easy enough to understand. I love the video. :)

[@Ahmed-ut2bx]

This is amazing I feel like I am living a new life it makes me fell fresh and new

[@morrisonben]

Eyyyy you finally posted it. Great as usual 👌🏼

[@archiemilligan2176]

this is an amazing movie, i would say the photography is better than what i see in most movies these days

[@Mumbo]

Thank you :)

[@cyanarachy5359]

Mumbo awwww

[@matiker]

I think this video is one of the best i've seen...

[@nielsv2004]

Awsome vid

[@jasper1995]

My mind is blown with the first minute! And great job with the 2.000.000 subs! 🎉🎆✨

[@jottumseijner7829]

Super amazing video man! Go on like this!!!

[@slimeymeow7406]

Why are you literally the best at everything? Photography, redstone, videos, building (sorta), etc.

[@Mumbo]

Hahaha, thank you! I'm not quite sure I am the best but I give everything a go to the best of my ability. I agree with the "sorta" on the building! :)

[@GwnSerchan]

2 sec in the video and already amazing video work, mumbo you have out done yourself again, but i have a idea that might improve a bit, a better mic so u dont have ANY background sound and it will only focus on your voice so its more clear then it already is idk how this will work or anything but yeah i just thought of this, have a good day :D (sorry for broken english)(owh yah and it might also make your voice softer and deeper and i prefer that)

[@martinferjancic]

This video shows why I love this channel. Keep it up❤️.

[@alexanderliu723]

Double thumbs up! Not only does this video have good video quality, it also taught me something. Nice job, Mumbo!

[@Mumbo]

I'm glad! Thank you :)

[@PrincessNobella]

when you do a redstone tutorial it is like telling the story or the redstone, this video had a similar feel and that works. keep trying new things and learning more, I just got my first DLSR camera and am trying to learn to use it, funny as I stared watching you trying to learn redstone and now I am inspired to learn more of photography as well, never stop learning is what I try to live by

[@Mumbo]

Great way of thinking!

[@marwannasser8961]

I Feel Like Mumbo is the dad of film makers *keep it up love ur shots * ❤

[@Dinsaur-wx7el]

Wow. Possibly best video on KZbin.

[@Mumbo]

Hmmm, I don't know.. But thank you! XD

[@Dinsaur-wx7el]

Mumbo Vlogs I’m certain it is.

[@fxdj4846]

I swear I though that an ad for a film was playing in the beginning.. This is actually amazing, it's beautifully shot, and the actual content is quite interesting, I wouldn't mind a sort of series on the aspects of film making.

[@Mumbo]

Hahaha, thank you! That's not a bad idea :)

[@Slendermanou]

just the first scene made me smile and like the video, beautiful

[@zyadhesham3959]

I don't know why,but your videos make me emotional,all off them,they keep getting better. Love everything you make,don't stop!!

[@pancakesfilmproductions3926]

So, everything he advised, is something that the Star Wars team needs to see! Amazing video.

[@Mumbo]

Haha, thank you :)

[@legoslothman]

This kinda makes me want to start a filming channel or something because this is inspiring! I will try Oli And also I have watched every single video on both of your channels

[@Mumbo]

You should!

[@legoslothman]

Mumbo Vlogs I will try Oli And also, I have watched every video you have on both channels

[@Matt-ye2hg]

lol fanboying a little much?

[@legoslothman]

Matt yes

[@kellydempster4712]

When inspiration meets creativity and a passion, infinite possibilities reveal themselves. With your passion and expertise mumbo, you connect your audiences with your stunning, creative, story-telling footage. Hats off to you!

[@4za4s]

I’ve been watching a lot of how to KZbin videos but you mumbo put it the best way, you’ve captured a story within a tutorial which has made it not feel like a tutorial at all. This message is going to get to a lot more people this way and I thank you for putting the time and effort to not just make the video but but depth into.

[@suyashahuja6648]

Wow! That was awesome! :)

[@luc5580]

Good job dude! looks really neat. greetings from The Netherlands.

[@Andrew-cu3kh]

Great video with a very good message! I didn't realize how much a story can help a video, I thought it was just point and shoot for cinematic stuff. The story helps SOOO much! This could actually be applied to other areas of life, too.

[@von380]

Absolutely brilliant. Everything you say is so deep, and has so much meaning. Keep up the good work Mumbo!!! And thank you for always doing your best to please us!!

[@SirKrawuzi]

Such a great videos, keep up the great work!!

[@jacklynch7251]

I love this video as it is so complex but you explained it so well

[@Mumbo]

Thank you :)

[@BobCCLIV]

The footage was beautiful! Love the softness in the colors. I also kept thinking throughout how funny it was that your video on telling a story and how you struggle with it had such a great story!

[@Jack-wb6sn]

The videos in this channel are getting better and better! This was amazing! Keep up the good work

[@patrickspeer3350]

I've never really been into film making but I love your channel (and your other one!).

[@antrikshminhas7195]

Quality is amazing

[@ItsCezGaming]

I love this sort of video, so meaningful 😊

[@fanimationsoldacc]

Man... Thanks for this, Oli. You’ve shown us the key to unlock the truest, most passionate experience of filmmaking. Inspiration comes from both the receiving and the receiver... So thank you once again for your genuine advice.

[@emiledesforges4890]

As always a brilliant video. Keep up the good work mumbo! :)

[@zssky]

Thanks Mumbo 👍

[@ScikoticButcher]

Simply amazing! Not only the footage, but your words. I really hope it will insire others.

[@murph_archer1129]

This was brilliant Mumbo. Such high quality. Truly beautiful!

[@sugeypopplanet]

I really enjoy ur style of vid. I am inspired by you and I dream to make as good vids as u! Thank u

[@r0sso_]

Mumbo, you sayd that really good! Im almost crying!

[@Mumbo]

Haha, thank you :)

[@umeshgaarbala9546]

This video was exactly the opposite of what you said was wrong with KZbin! I love it!

[@itsyaboi1502]

The last few weeks have been rough for a lot of youtubers and this video was really inspiring. Mumbo, I really do mean this, your incredibly influential to a lot of people who watch your videos, and can help them in so many ways. You always thank us, but maybe it’s time for us to thank you as well.

[@AhmedMohammed-rr6ip]

love your work, keep it up

[@aidanjackson1791]

When I saw the beginning of the video I was about to hit "skip ad"! It looked that professional!! Loved it Mumbo!!

[@Mumbo]

Hahaha, thank you :)

[@WildTrekkerPlays]

Very thought provoking and totally true!! Would love to see more of you sharing and creating stories!

[@Dreymasmith]

I have been thinking about this ever since I saw it. I think the way to put it is the difference between commentary and narrative. Your earlier films reflect your history as Minecraft's Mumbo, making videos and commentating. So naturally when you started with film it was much the same, hence "now I'm going to take some drone footage", etc. Great for one mode, not for another, and it takes a while to learn when to change form. You are rocketting along and producing some genuinely beautiful films that have a narrative flow. Keep at it.

[@advanced_warplayer7081]

[@wilnil]

That thing with every individual person has a story is still quite mind blowing every time I think about it...

[@Mumbo]

Yeah, blows my mind too. For some reason it's something that I hardly pay attention to.

[@Caseycoberly]

Mumbo! I've been following this channel since before the new style vlogs and let me tell you...your best one yet! Great thoughts shared here, very thought provoking.

[@wietseanckaert]

Beautiful video man!

David Kølby his facial expression backs it up xD

[@Dexter26958]

You have so much skill in film making, it’s incredible! All of your vlogs are just straight up masterpieces on their own! I wish this channel had at least as much subscribers as your gaming channel because I think you can really go places with the skills you have! Please never stop following this passion of yours, you have serious potential to go big with this!

[@too-hot-to-handle01]

Absolutely excellent. Really helping me with my book imagery
