Hey, I just wanted to tell you that I loved the content you've shared. Since you're a Canon fan, maybe you can help me with picking a camera. I wanted to buy Canon m6 mkii as my first camera. Would you recommend it?

Ayla Nova sent me. Liked, commented, shared, subscribed. Let’s ride that algorithm!

great!

👏

Love how you put this together! Really refreshing perspective. Keep inspiring, Levi 👏✨

This was a great and I’ve also noticed a lot of what you mention in this video. This is also what I have decided for my work in 2024, focus on the ART and looks t the numbers less. SUBBED.

My first camera is a Canon T5i. I just ordered Fujifilm X100V and can't wait to try it out.

You are amazing! 📸

It's completely subjective of course, but I would argue that there is beauty in the process, beauty in function. A well-made behind the scenes tells a story that is as compelling as the product it displays the creation of. In my opinion, the machines that make cars are more beautiful than the cars themselves and watching them operate fills me with as much satisfaction as watching a ballet. Watching the act of creation, seeing a master craftsmen assemble a pair of shoes, or a painter paint, there is beauty in this. I am a person who creates for the sake of the process, always fashioning artifacts and works of art, but not knowing what to do with final product because I did it for the pleasure of creation. I agree that simply scrolling through countless videos takes from the universe instead of adding to it, but that is a different issue than showing the beauty of process. I did like this style a great deal

THIS VIDEO WAS INSPIRING! It was everything i had to listen to wish and start working on my on patch which seemed a bit lost in the everyday life. Thank you.

Amazing work dude!

I really like how this short was edited mate 👍🏻

Hi Levi, responding to your question at the end of the video on whether you think this style of youtube talking head video works. Yes. Absolutely. This video felt like such a breath of fresh air to all the other content creator videos i typically see on RUclips, I think you may be on to something with this style because I personally think it works great!

Bro stick to this format 👏

Ok I’m 10 seconds in and leaving a comment. I got up to “I first picked up a camera because I was feeling inspired”. Boy oh boy. We all know what happens from that point forth.

true

I feel this so hard man... Great Video

Bang on, dude. I've been feeling apathetic to making and putting things out because it just feels like it gets lost in the sea of this corporatised "content creation" and half-baked UGC with some nobody "social media manager" doing boring radio-ad level of interesting poorly shot on their phone to make it "feel organic". It feels like all people, not just us creatives are really growing tired of the lowered bar of dopamine-seeking content and trend chasing purely to fill their funnels online and authentic stuff like this is starting to stand out again. Gotta get back to creating for the reasons we did at the start

Love the mindset you shared in the end. I will apply that on my own journey too! Keep going man. 🎉😊

I'm just learning about composition and color and I'll have to study this video, its all so beautiful

Wow great shots! Some very good points in this video 🔥

Really enjoyed this :) I feel like this style of recording style helps amplify the point you were making. we don't need our dopamine receptors firing on all cylinders at all times, that's sadly something I actually do need reminded of after focusing on socials too much. So Cheers, for being inspiring

inspiring and true

I like the wide frames, and choice of scenery 🤙

Siiick 🔥

Sick shots 🔥

The social media world shifting towards creating "content" sucks IMO, but as a result of that I am spending average 3-7 minutes on social media a day as opposed to an hour+ sometimes when it was focused more on intent and creation. I dig the talking head through the B-Roll like this 🤙

Unfortunately, as creatives, it's hard not to fall into the trends' trap (whether for internal or external reasons); and the trends themselves have a dragging power. IMO, social media is pretty much ruining it for the creatives, when it comes to time, timing, ideas, technicalities, etc... In addition to that, the number of views or likes have become a (if not THE) criteria for evaluating an image or a video/film. I have a video on youtube with a million views. Yet, it's the least representative of my skills. It is a few minutes montage I filmed and edited of a worldwide renowned pianist during a classical music festival. The other longer format video I produced, more documentary work with sensitive social topics, the ones I include in the first place in my portfolio, have barely a couple hundreds of views. On another note, I did notice the change of approach you took in this video :). IMHO, you do whatever you feel like doing, like experimenting... How do YOU feel about this? Did you enjoy it? Do you think it fits the topic? Do you feel like doing it more often? Personally, I think such an approach depends on the topic. For this one, I see it filmed in one location, one frame, no background music no b-roll, just straight forward sharing. But that's MY opinion and how I see it! Thank you for asking for our opinion :) Cheers and keep it up

This was awesome again mate, not only the message but how it was shot too. I’m guilty of watching a lot of behind the scenes, but for me it’s to learn. And through this year I’m determined to learn more by doing, not watching. And also by shooting and making what I want, not what some metric wants. Do you post quite a bit to Instagram? I really liked the format mate, I think it worked well and felt different. So thanks for freezing for us 🥶 hope you warmed up after! Side note about movies, have you got a favorite/s?

Killer thoughts! This is great stuff to think about...

great video - create for art's sake, not for content's sake

Nicely done!!!!

Love all the shots in this 🙏

Great message! This format was fun to watch, I enjoyed it! Also… I now understand why you were freezing 🥶

The angles wizard!!

So good!

I absolutely love this. This format is excellent. And this is so relatable. I can’t wait to create more conscious, intentional projects with you this year 😊

You got some great shots as always! thanks for dropping knowledge!

I love that this is in 4:3, really well shot man. And what an awesome piece of kit, would be something I’d look into if I get that type of camera that can accept these in the future.

Another quality post my dude 🔥🙏

Those foggy outdoor shots are stunning!

Thank you. I really enjoyed watching this well done. You are so right nobody cares! I just have to convince myself to take that leap! 😉

Really inspiring video again Levi! I’ll deffo take these tips on board through this year. I’m not thinking of doing portraiture photography but can still use this for things like street photography etc. That photography game I’d never heard of so will try that out too! The pictures you both took were great. Was that deer in someone’s front garden? Awesome video man. Subbed!

Really great video again man. Really explaining well and not making this a gear video. The area where you live looks amazing!

Your totally right. When your a kid you kinda don’t care what others think when you do something, until we get older or notice we did get judged. And I’m feeling the same with RUclips, that’s one of the reasons I’ve not come back to recording videos. Man I needed to see this video, great video Levi!

I care Levi! I think about your journey from time to time and it brings me joy to think on how far you've come and how good you've gotten are at capturing the world.

Nobody cares…get back to work. Pass it on.

I feel this on every level right now. Thanks for sharing. Subscribed!

I'm a minute and 20 seconds in and I love this video. Great work dude.

i want to make a video about that topic, nice inspiration
