The Matt D'Avella YouTube Formula

[@mattdavella]

I'm super impressed! Really really really love how you incorporated the timeline "graphic" into this video. Pretty dang spot on in terms of how I pace out and edit my videos. Well done my friend! And I so appreciate you being a patron :)

[@tomsodyssey]

The master has spoken! Thanks for the feedback Matt👌🏻 Did take me a while to find the same pinguïn onesie as well 😅 So everyone, who’s next? 🙏🏻

[@QuinnLeeVideo]

I agree with everything he said!

[@kayjaylin]

Matt D. Avella. He is a decendent of the D. - One Piece.

[@crystalkewe]

Bro! This was insanely great production. I just subscribed! The fact that you focused on making this such quality work, really made an impression on me. I cannot believe this didn't hit a million views yet, let alone a 100k. You beautifully captured one of our favorite creator's process!

[@mu.castro]

Matt D'Avella is the only youtuber that makes me watch his entire content without skip. Now you are one of them too. Thanks for the great video Tom

[@tomsodyssey]

Wow, thanks! Glad to even be a bit comparable than the grandmeister haha. Thank you for taking the time to check it out Murilo! 🙌🏻

[@ChrysJones]

Awesome work bro!!

[@TheDailyBA]

Dude, just seeing this. Holy cow! AMAZING. Props on catching his eye too! It's an honor to have met you my friend!

Amazing

Ah, thanks so much :) Glad you liked it!

This was an awesome breakdown. Your content is so valuable, thank you!

[@ITLIFER]

I’ve watched this video so many times! Such a fantastic break down…so good!!!

[@Dstonephoto]

It’s interesting how the concept of breathing room is a common theme found throughout various disciplines, we have it in photography (negative space), audio mastering (headroom ), large format lens resolution, and so on. It’s a concept we also find in music composition . Less is more! But man, tying all that shit together into a cohesive work of art is where genius lies, especially with something as complex as filmmaking where there’s so much stuff going on . MIND. BLOWN.

[@scootydub]

Wonderful video. Well done! Thanks for sharing.

I've probably watched this video like, a hundred times already. Hands-down the best "Behind the Edit" video on Matt I've seen, and I'm pretty sure I've seen 'em all. Surprised this video hasn't blown up by now, honestly.

[@tomsodyssey]

Appreciate it!! And thanks for all the views haha 😄 Switching some thumbnails these days, so let's blow this one up right now 😎

[@threequotesthursday5657]

This is the video I have been looking for! Just need to watch it twenty times to completely digest it all and internalise it! Great work!

[@tomsodyssey]

Haha, now imagine how I spend my week when recording the video. I could almost smell Matt 🥲 Thanks for checking it out!!

Appreciate the feedback you left man! Hope to find some more gems the next months ☺️

Beautiful.

[@beserious4810]

What a great breakdown. I've not considered the structure of a video like that before, it's too easy to think that these great videos spontaneously appear without effort. This deep dive was really useful - thanks!

[@tomsodyssey]

So cool! And, did it help you out now we're a bit further? I signed up after making this video as well, I think I need to make an updated version haha 😅

Thanks Fernando! I know right? All the little insights you get out of a session like this are just insane. He clearly is a very skilled & passionate storyteller, that much is true haha 😄 & happy to have brought some value to you as well 🙌🏻

This is just phenomenal. Filming quality, the concept behind how you demonstrated it, the music... I was about to say that this video is going to blow up then realized it was posted almost a year ago?! The almighty algorithm has failed us all.

[@tomsodyssey]

All I can say is: the more awesome people like you come on, the more we can get it to pop eventually 😎 Working on new creator deep dives so let’s hope the algorithm gods are with us ✌🏻 Thanks Miguel, love the feedback 🙌🏻

[@AntoniatheUniverse]

Wow, you are such an editing inspiration yourself! I am soo impressed and excited to see more from you. You appreciate the art like a true artist and that is really beautiful to watch :)

well I really would compliment you not what you explain but on your video. The storytelling, the b-roll etc. Everything was perfect! (of course you explain everything you did but hell you hold me up to the very last minute). Then ... I saw Matts comment...... you dont need more compliments than that! Amazing. Subscribing. Thank you

This is gold!!

[@QuinnLeeVideo]

I came here to learn about Matt D'Avella film making, but I'm pleasantly surprised by YOUR video making skill. I'm getting a Casey Neistat vibe but calm like Matt D'Avella! This video is definitely worth STUDYING. I'll come back later to digest it all. Good job! I know absolutely nothing about film making nor editing, but I'm learning one by one.

[@tomsodyssey]

For some reason YT is flagging comments on this video as spam and I'm just finding them back 😅 And damn, what an honour to hear those 2 names in one sentence! So stoked you're getting into filmmaking. Everyone starts at zero, 5 years ago I was still just a marine biologist with a gopro. Dedication and having fun is the key I think 😄 Good luck you!!!

[@noeticspringproductions]

This was great! Honestly, you just saved me SO MUCH time. Your deep dive into his videos is exactly what I wanted to do. Thank you! I'll go ahead and sub too :)

[@vincebalsamo]

Tom, I'm a new subscriber and I believe this is my 4th video I consumed by far. Quick question, who's the overall better film maker: Casey Or Matt

[@tomsodyssey]

That’s not a quick question 🥲 They are two completely different calibers haha! Casey is consistent high volume high quality, Matt is refined purity 👌🏻 If I have to give one judgment I’d say Casey is the more allround filmmaker with enormous insight into everyday stories, whereas Matt is the more cinematic youtube documentary filmmaker? 😅 I’d say, watch them both if you need some inspiration haha! Btw, thanks for coming back Vincent 🤜🏻🔥🤛🏻

[@doingtime20]

I'm gonna be honest here, the reason this video didn't blow up as other comments say it should have is because of all the film style interludes. It's not that you don't make good shots, or that your grading doesn't look cool etc. It's just that people are too on the run, and they don't really want so much breaks during educational videos. I understand the purpose might be to have storytelling to make it more engaging, but it's just not working that way. Honestly I just rather have the "meat" of the content, a 5 minute video of the actual lesson. Sure you can have cuts to the coffee and such but I think they need to be shorter and with a different pace. The actual things you say about Matt are great, and you present them in a great way.
