This slump becomes a cycle of negative self-talk and self-destruction. It hard then not to feel like you are stuck an...

Why traditional success habits won't help YOU
Просмотров 1843 года назад
Did you know trusting commonly verbalised “success” habits can actually diminish / destroy your success? Well at least I think so... I, for example, do not believe in waking up early as I do my best editing in a dark room when the whole world is asleep at night! Success habits need to be tailor-made, otherwise you might just be wasting time, energy, resources and happiness. From a filmmaker's p...

Making an Award Winning South African Short Film! Behind the Scenes
This video only has 828 views?? The intro was actually pretty good, The music could’ve been alittle better though but overall really good🔥
I'm no movie critic but this was really good work!! In fact, I lived a very closely similar life story. Dad was not what I called abusive, but more like an extreme disciplinarian. He would not spare the rod, let's say. Well my older brother didn't like any of it, and ran away during high school years. He never looked back. Broke my heart, to this day, dad is long passed away & my brother does not wish to be family with the rest of us. My dad and I made amends when I grew to manhood, so did my other siblings. In fact, I speak highly of my dad because of the lessons he ended up teaching me indirectly. And, he was a provider. Somehow none of that mattered to older brother. Life goes on. Thanks for this film - a glance into reality.
Could you kindly share your gear list?
Nice one
Hey Michael I just wanted to drop you a quick message to say how blown away I was by your short film "Welcome" . The storytelling was absolutely amazing, and the way you played the future AND PAST SCENE AND THE lighting throughout the film was just brilliant. Seriously, it added such depth and emotion to the scenes. Keep up the fantastic work fingers crossed for a Uitdaging season 2!!!!!!!!!
Thank you Elizabeth, Appreciate it! Uitdaging Season 2 😏...
I’m an inspiring filmmaker and I was looking for short films from country and I’m glad I found this 😍.Omg everything in this film is great ,cinematography, sound , acting , the story . I love it , it really deserved to win an award or awards ❤🔥🙌🏾 Keep up the good work 😊
Thank you for the kind comments. Good luck with your filmmaking journey!
👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼
Good stuff...when I grow up😊😂
Great video production quality! Happy to see you're back with a flare
Thank you so much for watching!!! 🙌🏻 I appreciate the kind words.
New vid just dropped :) Goated video. Having faced the death of my best friend of nearly 20years just over a year ago, I definitely empathise with this. I had to keep telling myself “You can earn more money another day, spend your life doing something you’ll remember”. I took my first real break in 5years. Good to see you were able to take back control of your own life. So about those overdue catch-ups, where are we meeting?
Awesome Video!🎉 Video Idea: What have you learned about love, marriage and relationships from filming wedding videos for 5 years? What was that experience like and did it change the way you approach your relationship/marriage? Looking forward to seeing more of your content!😁🔥
Fantastic idea! I’ve been meaning to do a video about this!
Amazing video! 🔥 You continue to be my inspiration for pushing forward and improving my own life. I really look up to you bro ❤

Well hi 😂welcome!!

The story is great even though it could have and probably should have given a bit more insights into the activities of the past whether they were brutal (physical or sexual violence) to the protagonist, or not. Right now I'm just guessing that it could have been a brutal past but I'm not entirely sure about that. Apart from the above, it's an effective story. However, all the adult actors were completely and utterly miscast, which is a shame. I didn't believe any of them as parents or the grown up children of those parents, much less those actors as parents. It unfortunately made the story not to ring true at all, thinking that all the adult actors should look a lot more matured than these actors. Furthermore, rendering the entire film as a well-made student film.
Damn, everything about this video 👌🏼Love jou setup 😂🙌🏼
Thanks man! Appreciate it.
I made it to Cape Town, I'm studying film at SAE
Congratulations man. Hoping you are enjoying it. Soak it all in.

Amazing work Mike to you and your team! Soo good. The vfx, practical effects, cinematography and how well your writing and directing influenced the final product. What a milestone for you I’m sure.
Thank you so much Mike!!! Appreciate your kind words so much. Glad you enjoyed it. We loved creating it.
Deep. The mastery really shows man! That’s not easy feat! You’re really owning your youtube space man! Keep it up!

Wow so clean of a setup. But what a great video. Top notch bro
It’s all about the productivity vibe… 🔥😂
@@MichaelOdendaal Appreciate seeing that "gaming" add-on there. R&R is part of the productivity (at break).
Beautiful shots, beautiful girlfriend 🥰
Wow this is so cool
This was a great video and somewhat insipirational in a way we aren’t all going through these things alone. Amazing work and subbed to the channel as well 👍🏻
Appreciate this so much man! Yeah creatives experience lots of ups and downs but in the end we are all in it together. Thanks for watching and for subbing!
