[@mattih]

Tips on enjoying the process! Go!

[@mattih]

Thats a good one!

[@pngballar24]

Find good channels and content makers to learn from :P

[@VegardThefilmmaker]

TravelFeels thanks man :) great video on the subject. I'm enjoying the process now

[@woodysmith1x]

Great video! Thanks for the encouragement...I've been struggling with this issue and just last week made my first video. It's horrible quality but I'm super proud of it because I had to learn a lot to make it! And hey, I was a youth pastor also back in the day. Looking to use much of what I learn from you to make missions related videos.

[@GanniicusZA]

im watching all your videos man. this one really inspired me and made me be ok with being a amateur rather than forcing myself to be ''good'' all the time and getting discouraged by bad shots. thank u so much man. u just got urself one loyal sub. love it papa bless

[@Christo_glenn]

I've been doing little projects, often in my spare time and what I've discovered is how fun it is to look back and compare my old ones to my new ones and gauging how much I'm progressing. I find it amazingly satisfying and it's been pushing me to continue further on my journey, in which I still have so far to go. Don't give up guys, just keep sticking with it!

[@ulys666]

You damn right mate. The secret is to do something you love and to focus on the present moment. Being grateful for what you have and what you live will definitely enhance the feeling of wellbeing in those experiences. The success will come if you do what you love.

[@anthonydibiase6245]

Not going to lie. I needed this. This isn't just a secret to film making, it's a secret to life.

[@VedikaBadlani]

I have a full time job and I travel and edit over the weekends or whatever leaves I get. But looking at all the successful youtubers and influencers sometimes makes me feel very low because I don't see a lot of growth on my channel. However, listening to you today made me feel so much better because I should remember how I love making videos and that's what's most important. The end goal should be to be happy doing what you love. Thank you!

[@caseysheppard3396]

That's where I'm at. I stopped looking at other creators and wanting to be them and realized that it's the process of filmmaking that I enjoy most. Not what camera I have or want... just hitting record and creating. Capturing memories. Learning from each and every video! Thanks for keeping my perspective in check! Great video!

[@mattih]

Yea man do it!

[@amhales98]

this is so true!! The journey taken makes the end all the better. "learn, make, and repeat" - wise words from a great guy.

[@ForrestLee]

As I turn another year older today, I went through a quick life reflection of a lot of things that I haven't accomplished yet, whether it's in my personal life or career... this video was a wonderful reminder of all the things I'm grateful for and to enjoy my ongoing journey... thanks travelfeels, I'm forever grateful for this amazing video!

[@CELLYYBO]

Youth Pastor? That's awesome man!

[@Inspirewithdrones3342]

Matti thank you sir for being so transparent about the process from where you started to now! Lately I’ve been working on paid projects that weren’t necessarily my passion to do, but simply paid the bills, causing me to shrink from creating video content that I love and am passionate about. You absolutely right that all filmmakers, or content creators, should always embrace the process of whatever it is that they do, and grow from it. Keep doing you, and take care.

[@georgecheung3853]

this is really good advice. it applies to other fields too... music skateboarding writing photography

[@SokPannhaMak]

actually I'm not in field of film maker, but what you share is not just for film. it's apply to everything. so inspired

[@aminelbekry262]

You are completely right! We never reach our destination, its a never ending journey so the most important thing, not just for us film makers but for everybody in any profession is to enjoy what you are doing day in day out!

[@MaximilianFischermafis]

I am an it professionell. I started running seven years ago. After some days i started to love nature. So i started taking pictures. And five years later i started to recoding movies. Now i am here. Looking back on all that stuff and what i learned. And it's amazing what happens if you love something and try things out. Every picture and movie get a little bit better.

[@KRAH713]

Bro, I just bumped into this video after following you for a while. Youth pastor and bible college? That's legit!!! I've Been filming for just a bit but so happy to see a fellow believer sharing knowledge to help others. God bless you man. Greetings from Los Angeles!

[@apom316]

Thanks for your words, really inspire me to keep going with my KZbin channel. I love filmmaking and is a passion for me, and trying to get better everyday! Thank You again!

[@greculaina]

I searched for how do I get paid for travel video but I found something worthy. This video was like a deep breath. Thank you! God bless you! All of you here!

[@chainer22]

Your video intro never fail to give me the chills and make me wanna get on the next plane out. Thank you for sharing.

[@EstebanOrtiz_bajissimo]

That's actually a great motivation, not just for filmmaking, but for life. Learn to be grateful! Great video man. Regards from Costa Rica.

[@mattih]

For sure!

[@JamesEveryday]

I've seen this video before, but I just rewatched it and it is DEFINITELY coming through more clear this second time around! Great words! And you're right! I've been enjoying every step of film making! The process is key! I'm always trying to take something ordinary, that I've seen over and over again where I live, and turn that into something creative! And enjoyable to watch! Thanks for this video! Super appreciate your words!

[@AGMAED-cv3fi]

Watching four years later…you hit one million subbies! Incredible! Thanks for the video!

[@sailwaywitme]

Your talent as a filmmaker shines through in every frame, capturing the essence of the subject matter with a captivating and unique approach. Your video not only showcases your technical expertise but also touches the emotions and leaves a lasting impact on the viewer. Thank you for sharing your passion, creativity, and dedication with the world. Your work has inspired me and countless others to pursue our dreams and embrace the beauty of life. Keep creating and making a difference with your incredible talent. With sincere gratitude, Raj

[@criandokevin]

Watching you with 1.16 million subs right now, make this video way better. Congrats and thanks

[@mathislearn]

This video motivated me so much! Thanks, I'll keep taking more photos even tough I spend too much time on it an doesn't make any cents with it ... cause I love it!

[@mattih]

Totally worth it then

[@meganquinn6971]

Wow. This video really changed my perspective. I didn't even recognize that I was only focusing on the destination. Everything you said has hit me so hard and I wrote it down. I am going to go through the process. Thank you for creating this video. It was so insightful for me. Wow

[@gizzimatteo]

you really changed my life with this video. you made me a better person and a better filmmaker. i'll never stop thanking you for that. that's why i'm going to apply to get hired by you :)

[@bestwholeworld5276]

This is inspiring and has such postive vibes. And the way you say "process" is cute and endearing!

[@braedenberglund8574]

Its really cool to hear you excited about 42,000 and now you are at almost 700k! Congratulations Matti! Keep up the great work!

[@charlieishungry]

You are a wise man bud. Super glad to be a subscriber. You are one of my favs to watch. Well done on your journey so far. It's your inspiration that made me pick up a GH5 recently and have subscribed to the learning process myself. Thank you for that! :)

[@BrittanysGuide]

I remember watching this video awhile ago and feeling inspire and im glad i came back this video because this is something i needed to hear again! thank you for your inspiration you have helped in ways you dont even know.

[@anthonyperez9102]

This is some of the best advice I've had as a new filmmaker. Thank you so much for this. Its going to inspire me to keep filming and make it fun

[@brandonhall2699]

Great video. When I was in the 6th grade I made videos in an after school program and decided then to be a filmmaker. I went to a community college to get my associates in radio/tv/film but then felt I couldn't make money in it and changed to anthropology and realized I'm not sure how to make money with that either. Haha. Now I'm an electrician. I Love my work. I love stepping back and being able to say "I built that" and I think that was the appeal with filmmaking in the 6th grade. Anyway I'm lucky enough to fly for free and my wife and I have an annual pass to Disney and wanted to make tons of videos visiting WDW and other places in the country and we made a few videos on our channel but I got busy and stopped. I'm ready to get back in it and start making videos. This video helped a lot. In a weird way it also helps with my career as an electrician too. It's easy to want to just finish the job and get on to the next one but I learn sooooo much at every jobsite im at. Filmmaking for me is just a way to have some fun and relax and I don't expect to make money. Just want people to enjoy my work. Sorry for the long rant. I'm sure it was too long to read but thanks for making this video!

[@boi1793]

i dont even have projects and i just make films/photo's cause i fucking love it

[@mattih]

You have the right attitude! 🙌

[@anderss5913]

This may be the most inspiring video I've seen. I've always been obsessed with filmmaking, but now that I've been finally pursuing it professionally, I've definitely found that fear and a destination-mindset constantly get in the way. I also tend to think "I should have done this years ago" instead of thinking "I'm doing this now". Your advice is right in line with philosopher Alan Watts who says that a constant focus on the future is worthless if you can never enjoy the present.

[@travisdigital437]

Ye it's so true! Enjoy getting up early and doing things which freak you out a little! You won't get to the destination if you don't jump into the initial dirty work and overcoming horrid things (which often turn out to be not that bad).

[@mattih]

Yep! Fear of the unknown. But thats where you learn the most

[@JQ24]

One of the best advice I've ever heard. I'm glad I stumbled across this video from my feed! Thanks, Matti!

[@mattk3083]

I've watched about a dozen of your videos so far and wanted to say thanks for the education resource! Just starting out and a week after discovering your channel there's already improvement in my own project:) Your videos are awesome and highly inspirational!

[@NicoGuarino]

Cool story and great advice! Likewise, I graduated with a Bachelor of Theology from the Philippines, and now I'm getting more into film. Great content and epic videos, keep them coming!

[@mattih]

It seems to be the way to go 😂🙏

[@NicoGuarino]

TravelFeels Theology... film making... almost the same thing 😂

[@rahatmahmed624]

Much love for you Matti. Thank you.

[@ArminHirmer]

so true in many ways. thank you

[@ethanlebaron1085]

Crazy to see how far you’ve come from 40,000 to 1.3 million that’s awesome Great video by the way

[@JoshCarrHikes]

Awesome tips Matti. Been subbed to your channel for over a year now but hadn’t stumbled across this video until now. As someone getting commercial gigs here and there, some of that advice hits home pretty hard. I need to realise that it wasn’t that long ago I was dreaming of getting my first paid shoot and now I have multiple on the go yet I’m unhappy and still want more. Wise words, and definitely an eye opener, cheers Matti!

[@anjanafernando832]

This is the best motivation video about film making, Thanks a lot for what you are doing. Keep up the good stuff !!

[@JohnLuna]

agree 100%. I recently came to that realization after starting on KZbin for the wrong reasons. I'm lucky that I even got started at all, and I stumbled upon the love of filmmaking 😃

[@TownsidaRecords]

I almost forget to hit the like button on your vids! These are helping me a lot. I'm a big gear head and I have all the gear needed I always forget the PROCESS. I need to push myself to create. I've done a lot of learning, some making, I need to do more making now lol then repeat!! Thank you very much!

[@SweetSourTravel]

This is a true life lesson, enjoy the process enjoy life, thanks Matt!!!

[@evamartirodriguez]

Your videos are the best. You're such an inspiration to me. I'm currently studying a bachelor in Advertising but all I want is to take pictures and make videos

[@mattih]

Do it! Even on the side if you have to 👍

[@JahimTheCreator]

I work a full time job as an IT professional Whenever I get a chance I go aout and make videos. I have never been Happier. I think you should keep doing what makes you smile ;-)

[@BobbyGonz]

...lawyer..."but all I want is to take pictures and make videos

[@AyoolaBoyejo]

Eva Martí Rodríguez That makes two of us. I'm a DevOps.

[@evamartirodriguez]

I graduate next month and I am planning to move to Australia for a year. I will work, travel shoot amazing places as I learn more about it. I'm so stoked ❤️

[@jackassn21]

This advice is very wise. In other words the process means the present moment and if you don't appreciate the present moment( the process) you can't appreciate what's coming. Living in the Now or enjoying the process is key for everything to be good at or to enjoy doing it. I hope this was understandable. Thank you for your videos! :)

[@scottmckenna]

Never really heard your story until this video, super cool. Very similar to mine. I was a full time worship leader at a church for 3 years, and just went full time into video production in May 2017. Very fun journey, and it’s awesome to hear about yours. Thanks for sharing. Great video as always. Your channel is outstanding.

[@brandynmurray7339]

It’s now Dec 31, 2017. You have 242k subs. You’re clearly doing something right. 200k subs since April. Props bro!

[@GreggoryMiller]

God knew that I needed to see this. I've been really struggling lately, but this is a step in the right direction for me. Thank you

[@wodiberappin8624]

Dang 42,000 subscribers in this video now at 1.08 million that’s crazy congrats man I love your videos

[@chrisroach8385]

i agree ! life your life smile more lives your passion!! Grow with each project ..

[@vapickupman]

Like many others have said, great words of inspiration for life. I've been kind of stalled out because of my perfectionism but hey that's focusing on the destination instead of the process. Time to get back to making. Thanks for such a great inspiring and educational channel!

[@scinovlog9680]

Agree. Enjoy the process and enjoy what you do. This is why I quit my job in a tech company.

[@fearlesslionmedia4232]

Thanks for the video! I'm an experience filmmaker that often struggles with putting out content. I write ideas down ALL day but never go further. Thanks!

[@DannySilguero]

Thanks Matti! The wife and I are trying to do this together for fun and we really appreciate all your content!! Hopefully one day you can make a video of a behind the scene in creating a short film from start to finish. Thanks again!!

[@mattih]

Yea I've been thinking about doing a project like that!

[@Happii4me]

This really just motivated the heck out of me. I really appreciate you and the channel you've built... keep up the good work

[@FahadKahut]

If I tell you that your this tutorial has explicitly motivated me in a time where i actually lost motivation to make films, please keep making more videos like these. plus your words on destiny and process are lifetime lesson.

[@DaveOnArrival]

This is good advice and something I think I needed to hear. I might be too focused on the destination. I need to focus more on what I have right now and get more content up.

[@flofly6816]

Ey mate. You are a big Inspiration for me. I Start NOW! Cheers and thx for this video. It means so much more than filmmaking but also a lesson for life. Keep doing this and when you are in Austria, let me know!

[@tiagoferreira5130]

Great Video, I love your channel, it's so inspiring. Recently me and my girlfriend decide to quit our normal life to follow our dream of discovering the world and I was focused on the goals but your video changes my mind. I love to learn and now I'm learning filmmaking so I can make beautiful and inspiring videos and have a project to make a short documentary about the tourism impact. I was obsessed with the final product but your video makes me see the thing at a different point. All that matter is enjoying our way, thanks for the inspiration and I hope that someday we can work together.

[@patrik3330]

When making this video you only had 42,000 subs but look at you now, 1.08 million subs. I am inspired.

[@adventureoutline]

ENJOY THE PROCESS. Thanks for the reminder Matti

[@alexkartveli1532]

I think this video is changing all my entire life. You showed me right way to think about some things. Thank you very much :) Hope to create my first film soon

[@TheStache_MTB]

Thanks man. Was starting to feel sluggish with my videos and photography, but this is what I needed to hear!

[@GabrielGomes-hv3fq]

This is awesome man! Next goal is to become a travel filmmaker. So inspiring, I see you in the next video

[@ThomasPyttel]

Crazy how fast this channel is growing 🙂 Well deserved!! Thanks for all your advice! And congratulations to the first child and all the best to the family 🙂👋🏼

[@daniellerose1114]

I desperately needed to hear this thank you. BTW I'm a new subscriber and I am already loving your channel. Again thank you for reminding me to enjoy the process. Looking forward to seeing more of your videos.

[@codylewis8620]

Matti - This video is really some fantastic inspiration. I just started making videos and, while I'm happy with the quality at this point and all the learning I'm doing through you and Pete, I do find myself frustrated with the numbers I'm seeing. This was a great reminder to keep moving. Best wishes to you, man! Thanks a lot.

[@colbyelliot33]

Hell Ya man! Get out there, and enjoy!

[@MiikaIsotalo]

I think this advise was something I really needed at this point. I have been concentrating on becoming something more and forgot to enjoy the ride. Thanks! Sulla on muuten todella upeita videoita tällä kanavalla, etenkin noi Norja-videot :) Sain pari vinkkiä autokuvauksiinkin dronen osalta.

[@rypatrick]

This is solid advice. Being thankful is the key to putting yourself in a good mood and having good energy. And THAT'S the key to bringing more good things into your life.

[@AndreasAkana]

That is true! When you enjoy the process you are living every day at 100%!

[@tehaunuiart]

Thank you so much!!! This really helped. Here’s to enjoying the filmmaking process!

[@AeroVisual]

Wise words!! It actually hit me hard since Ive been craving new gear all year long! Thank you Matty!!

[@mattih]

Hah yea gear lust is an annual thing. Re-focus!

[@see_athousandmiles]

I love the cinematography in your channel. Thanks for the advice! This really helps.

[@Klahsy]

Loved the video, very inspirational. I found your channel recently from thinking it was a peter McKinnon video but actually being a collaboration of you two, I didn't sub just then, but I later stumbled upon another one of your videos and absolutely loved it. Now here I am a few weeks later and I can say wow, you have an amazing channel that you've built. I can't wait for you to hit 100k :)

[@mattih]

Thanks so much! Welcome to the channel 🙏 Glad you subbed

[@sugarcane9425]

Awesome VDO and idea you gave. Lets enjoy the process

[@kaffeebart8290]

You're absolutely right in what your are talking m8. Always enjoy the process and love your work, and you gonna be successful! :-) Thanks for your video!

Enjoying every step these day! Great video, thank you for advices!

[@Monkeegenesgroup]

Great videos! This one especially! Thanks for the inspiration in a genuine manner!

[@mattih]

Thanks! I sure hope its genuine 😊 Nobody is paying me to say this. I just think everyone needs a little more motivation! 👌

[@Monkeegenesgroup]

TravelFeels appreciate your point of view! Keep the great videos coming! Furthermore, thanks a million for the decent tutorials! I'll keep checking out your cool content! 👍🏼 have a great weekend!

[@namarapara]

[@SorenAdventure]

Super glad I found this channel and video! So inspiring for my own videos and life, really. Great advice. Thank you!

[@naturecare6072]

The words of wisdom. Great tip. You're humble and an old soul. Good job brother.

[@alinaruf7689]

What the heeeeck?! Your story is amazing and so encouraging. Funny thing, I also started in medicine and than went to the USA (I'm from germany originally) for a christian gap year to give a year for god and now I'm gonna go to filmcollege. Thanks for sharing your story and encouraging me to enjoy and be thankful for what god has given me either my equipment or the opportunitys I get. Keep doing what you do and stay blessed man!

[@JacobPernell]

Holy crap I need to hear this reminder today. Thank you! So glad I found your channel - keep doing what you do man.

[@bennie7781]

Thank you for this video. The process is key!

[@mattih]

For sure! 🙌

[@colinmccann5176]

I've learned so much from Travel Feels and Peter McKinnon! Thank you for such amazing content!

[@mattih]

Awesome Colin! Glad your learning 🙏

[@JamieBanksTravel]

Thank you for this great advice. I'm currently trying to enjoy the journey and not just try and get to the destination. In many things in life!

[@collinhuneke]

Wow just discovered your channel with this video, you are amazing! Thank you for the advice, it really helped, I just started getting into filming, keep killing it with the videos!

[@johnkimutai7665]

I have been caught up in all those things you mention. I'll start w my i Phone and an edit soft and just have a good time

[@druesteele]

Really really great videos, tutorials and channel! Thankyou for existing :) Very inspiring!

[@Zombient]

Took me years to know what I wanted to do with my life, even when I was in elementary school I never knew when they asked what you wanted to be, I just lied and said something generic like a doctor or police officer, but as I grew older I loved recording memories, traveling and editing them on my computer and now that I know that, filmmaking is my destiny! What should my route be going into college for travel filmmaking, should i major in filmmaking?

[@dronecasterz]

Very well said and oh so true! Thanks for the positive message.

[@JustMeChris]

Although I already knew it myself, man I needed to hear this. Big thanks!

[@luanmaia]

im watching this video and you have 250k and the whole message seens to make even more sense. Congrats!

[@funkitupyo62]

Not what I was expecting but absolutely love the message thanks for sharing and thanks for that invaluable tip for not just filmmaking but life in general
