Love this! After watching, I went back to the beginning and paused on the picture of little Andrew riding past our Astro van with a big smile on his face. Love you son!
"We need people to be more organic" This is probably the most important lesson to be learned as a creative. Being able to turn off the filter in our heads that asks, "Would _____ make this?" or "Will this fit the algorithm?" whenever we have a new idea. Love the video dude, couldn't relate to you more. It's been awesome seeing you grow. Congrats on an impactful year.
Your channel is a mirror to every artistic person’s mind. All the struggles, and accomplishments. Alls the thoughts and goals we have are perfectly expressed through your cinematic journey and in here for all of it. ❤
I just realised that what I love with you is your ability to really self reflect and it makes your content so rare. Of course your visual are beautiful but it’s your vision that makes the difference ! Congratulation for the 100k, much deserved 🎉😊
I stumbled across your channel yesterday and I had to immediately subscribe. Your authenticity and storytelling are exactly what this world needs more of! The messages in your videos have helped to shine a light on my own creative and professional pursuits. I've wanted to make a RUclips channel for over a decade now but never knew what it was I wanted to centralize my videos around. After watching a few of your videos I believe I have a better idea of what it is I want to create. Thank you, Andrew! You've inspired me and reminded me why it is I want to make videos. Because seeing people be authentic and sharing their unique voice has always been something I admire and love. 💛 Congrats on 134K!
I totally agree with you. Feeling the same at the moment. I miss my old RUclips days from the beginning, where I focused more on the doing instead of the outcome. Unfortunately it kinda switched, the more subscribers I got. Hope to find my path again. Thank you for you honesty and this video ❤
Thank you very much for this word, i totally agree and think you’re right, but we tend to forget because it can be soooo appealing to taste “number success” or just to feel like we’ve made it. That’s a wonderful journey you’ve created and I am happy i got to see your path, and this lesson resonnates lot with me. Best Andrew
Always so encouraging to watch! I got here along the way and there's a lot of you in evrything you've done!!! I'm glad to hear that your voice will be stronger. Only good things ahead, bro
andrew i really love your videos and you know whats special is i am also a huge fan of gawx following him for couple of years...the clips of yours gave the same vibe as gawx`s simply magical i also wanted to start a youtube channel and soon i will......just wanna tell u that u both are best ...
Thank you for sharing this with the world. This is word for word what I was thinking and even picked up a book yesterday called: 'Put your dreams to test'. Sometimes we need reminding to be present, to be real and I am glad you are also narrating the low parts because that is the reality a lot of might be going through and that connects more than the sugar coating we are so used to on social media (I love that content too but I have my days). I also starting doing RUclips more seriously and I am very close to 1K now❤
Every time I turn on RUclips I scroll through Instagram feed at this time as I get bored.But what you do makes me put down the phone and look at these awesome frames and listen to you. Your words hit the spot every time and it gets imppossible not to think about the things you convey. Just thank you for being so honest and so that organic ❤
I love this, every second of it. Thank you for being so raw and vulnerable. I really needed to hear this, can’t wait to see what more you have to offer ❤
congrats on the 100k - highly deserved 👊👊👊 your videos have been a huge source of inspiration for me to change and make content in 2025 that I WANT to create. Happy Holidays
Thank you for making this and talking about it, finding yourself, getting to know yourself and doing it your way is the hardest and most fulfilling work. I am doing it, you are doing it and Gaux is doing it!🙏
This is great honesty and reflection. I went through something similar. I think it's good to move away from emulating gawx. You do a great job with your videos, but to your point, there can only be one gawx, and there can only be one Andrew.
Andrew! You are such an inspiration to me! Your powerful words and crazy cinematic work, REALLY makes me want to create something like that of my own too! Thank you for being real and honest with us! Thank you for being, You! ❤️
I've been following you since you got 3000 subscribers and it's so amazing to see how far you've come. As someone who makes videos myself, you're such a huge inspiration. Keep going Andrew!
Thank you for this video. I think it's brave to acknowledge that chasing a dream isn't always what we expect it to be or straight forward. I chased a dream, reached it and it wasn't all that I thought it would be. I lost my voice back then. Now, starting over in a completely new and different direction. Being creative, something I never allowed myself to be. Better late than never, I guess. I'm hoping to reach te same milestones you are reaching here on RUclips and this is a great reminder for me to stay true to who I am. Congrats with your great succes and keep inspiring creatives and creators (like myself).
Congratulations!!! This is so amazing, we are so proud of you! I’m excited to see what finding your voice again looks like, and how it translates on video. I also really love slower videos 🤍
This is so friggin good! Beautiful, raw, completely you. You talking about losing your voice and catering to the algorithm reminds me of a Rick Rubin quote: “In terms of priority, inspiration comes first. You come next. The audience comes last.”
Wow I love this video so much and your honesty. It is so beautiful to witness! Not just your words, your work, your video... But the whole process that you were sharing about. Thank you! You touched me and it was exactly what I needed to hear today!
Been following you since your first video I believe and I resonate with this so much. Just wanted to also let you know that I love your art for you and you’re such a talented creative that continuously aspire me to not give up on creating! Will always be a fan so pls just keep creating what truly makes you happy, people like me will always anticipate your videos and have the motivation and inspiration to keep going.
You help me get out of my head to where I can go create that is true to me. I have such a hard time trying to perfect an idea. Thank you for bringing me back down to Earth, and for inspiring me to just be me.
The fact that after so much music, movement, and scenes, we finally reach a point where you speak what you truly think, with no musical effects, just your voice telling us "LISTEN TO ME NOW," and then you say something that hits deep and sincere... I can't express how much this has inspired and moved me.
This was the video i needed. I feel the same way about Casey being my inspo. I don't want to be another him, I want to show who I am! Can't wait to see where this weekly video drop will look like for me starting in 2025. Looking forward to your next video!
Andrew, thank you so much for this video. Thanks for helping, inspiring, trying to listen to your voice more, because it matters. Everyone's inner voice matter, and we're grateful to have people like you expressing what's going on inside so clearly and with such poetry. Keep doing what you love, not matter the algorithms 🤲✨
I was fighting with this idea of taking the shortcuts, caring what will people think or am i good enough for this that people will appreciate my work. Watching your video feels like a giant hug and it came at the moment I needed to hear it the most. Thank you Andrew.
Dammmn Andrew, you are SUCH a big inspiration, what a great storytelling -I can only hope I will get there one day! And I'm so happy to hear that you will focus more on your own voice again. I'm sure your work will be the BEST! YOU inspired me more than any creator to finally start. I told you that many times but it's true! And it's all because of your honesty and authenticity. Can't wait for everything to come and thanks (again) for making me start my own youtube journey. I'll try to stick to my voice :)) much love!
You are a truely inspiring person. I love your content and I think you are indeed a chill guy to hang around with. I respect the hustle and your words. Big congratulations on the 100k milestone also ❤
Hey Andrew, in the pursuit of finding our own voice, along the way we seek inspiration. Casey & Gawx offered you that and now you have a clear and distinctive voice as a creator of meaningful films. And the best thing is that you will continue to evolve your work and your voice will become even more distinctive. Great work, brother ✌️
"Don't forfeit who you are to fit the mold of whats working." I just want to say that you have been such an inspiration man and I can't wait to see more of your success. Great stuff bro.
Hello! I just wanted to let you know that... I have listened your videos, not watched. I listened to you while doing my sketching exercises. Your voice and words are what pulled me in. So, I'm happy that you have decided to focus more on that because you are absolutely great at voicing your thoughts and you are also very relatable!!
not that nothing will ever be enough - but that you just gotta chose to be content in any situation , weather you've achieved your dreams or not - youre still you and that makes whatever it is you're doing important - the problem is when you think that the end goal will solve all your problems and then when you arrive, you feel you need more - hope that makes sense :)
Really inspired by this story and all the content you put out. It’s powerful to be true to yourself and understand that we all struggle with Doubt on the way to and beyond our dreams. Thank you for sharing Andrew 🤙❤️
Damn bro, super honestly vibe with the vunerability here like you said. I can't lie I did end up sending negative vibes/stories to you "copying" and I'm sorry, realised I was just projecting my struggles, and hearing you had the same really made me realise. Thank you Andrew, keep creating and killing it.
Thanks for sharing Paola. All good man, it’s crazy the creative journey is on display for everyone - makes the mistakes a little harder to admit - but when it’s the necessary step fwd you gotta embrace it, thanks for being a part of the journey brother 💪🏽
you are an amazing artist and writer. I watched one video of yours to know you were a natural talent. your words actually have meaning and your articulation of those words is simply profound. Keep going.
Love the self reflection and how you give credit to those who inspire you. Didn’t feel like a downer for me…appreciate the authenticity more! Keep going 🙂
Man, this is so great. So great, but I think what you did was also great because no you have like numbers, a built community and people who are looking forward to your content and now you can try to find your voice again or make more out of your own voice, more about you. I think that's great too. One of my favourite video was still the one where you just filmed your everyday life, helping your friends out with their project and I think you're just doing great stuff. Never stop, man. #20percent
Gaux is a great inspiration for cinematography and visuals, but your message and motivation make you my favorite creator. Absolutely loved and resonated with this message. I always look forward to your videos, keep it up!
Iv been at the lowest points of my life this last few months. Lost my job that I hated and took on chasing my dream. After being down to my last cent and risking the home I strived so hard to get for my family I finally have been getting the contracts I need to pay my bills with my camera. Videos like this are what keep me motivated, I love your work man keep creating and never stop!🙌
Needed to hear this today honestly. There's nothing wrong with growing your audience - those numbers can open doors and let you reach more people who need to hear what you have to say. But this really nails that tricky balance. The second those views start hitting, it's so easy to slowly morph into whatever gets the algorithm going, and you don't even realize you're losing your actual voice along the way. Appreciate the reminder Andrew!
Glad you're finding yourself again. Gawx's videos are incredible but I totally agree with the statement that we don't need another Gawx. I subscribed for your unique voice and perspective.
This video didn’t feel like a downer to me-it felt authentic and real. I really appreciate you sharing this and your thoughts. As someone with a very small and new channel, I often struggle with finding purpose and questioning why I’m making these videos. But deep down, I know I want to give a voice to those who can’t or are unable to. I hope to step into my voice and find the courage to show more vulnerability and authenticity in my work. Thank you for the inspiration-it means a lot.
Thank you so much for sharing so honestly. Listening to you I love your message to not loose yourself for what you think others will like.. At the same time I have the urge to give you a hug and tell you to not be so hard on yourself. Getting inspired by others and trying out new things is a part of the path I think. What matters is coming back to yourself.. Over and over again.. It's not a straight path but maybe something that comes more like in waves. 🤗 Thank you 🙏
Hey Andrew, I hope you see this. I first came across your channel a couple of weeks ago in my christmas break. Feeling run down, creatively defeated and just at the point of giving up. I struggle with anxiety and depression, I hate having my photo taken or being on video, but you have inspired me. You've inspired me to make the first step into youtube. I studied film and i've made videos/documentaries in the past, but your style, especially having a lot of it being solo adventures/clips, thats really inspiring. The way you feel about Gawx is how I feel about your work. You and another youtuber/film maker Natalie Lynn (If you haven't seen her work you should!) have really changed my perspective on what it means to make videos and to make art. I hope to come back to this comment in a year and I hope for myself that i've made progress. My goal for the end of 2025 is to have 100 subscribers (As of writing I havent put anything out yet) Your videos have a strong impact on those that need it. Please keep being you and please keep YOUR voice. The world needs it. Thank you!
You have been a huge inspiration to me. I am creating and deliberately going slow. I’ve been told a few times I could get more subscribers if I do x or y, and I’ve taken time to ask myself if I want to. It’s hard. The creators I admire all say that there is freedom to play when small so I’m doing that. I love words too! Thanks for sharing yours. One last thing, I don’t have a pitchy line to describe my channel yet … I just put ‘ fully self expressed?’!😊
I literally just told my friend how you're a good example of finding INSPIRATION from artists like GAWX instead of straight up coping him like soooooo many other people. It's so crazy how many people copy him that I get annoyed when I see a GAWX video now because it's "over-done" and it's sad. Because that really is the manifestation of people literally STEALING from another creator. But I'm glad to see you finding your own voice and style and I remember that's what stood out to me a year ago when you had a few subs and now you've grown exponentially. Great job man!
100K is only the beginning 9f the chase. I'm heading towards 200K but spend my whole 30s and more than 150 videos to chase 100k. And experienced that the hill gets only steeper. There is no top, no goal, no end to reach. You just more likely to loose yourself.
@@AndrewPaul1 no problem bro, I just finished it. and all what you said couldn't have been more true bro, and your honesty elevates that. this couldn't be better timing for me since im currently trying to lock in on my youtube channel and honestly felt the same way you did. well not the same way but more in a sense, working with what I have and the need of having a $3,000 cinema camera to make good content. I over thought this for a while until I decided to get off my butt and save up for a phone and here we are. I have a phone, tripod, and mic. everything to make videos that I've been dreaming to do for like 2 years. but its more the feeling after you get all this stuff that you've been dreaming of. your kinda just sitting there lost like you said. imo the only thing to do is just to move foward. less dreaming and more doing and follow your heart ( easier said than done lol ). Amazing content bro keep going! ❤
Congrats, well deserved! As matter of fact I have noticed the change in your style and I knew what was going on, and I didn’t like it. Now I’m very happy to know that we got you back, Authentic, original, and inspiring. Best of luck with the rest of your journey!
❤️🖤
love you and Gawx
Love this! After watching, I went back to the beginning and paused on the picture of little Andrew riding past our Astro van with a big smile on his face. Love you son!

Your vids always encourage me to keep going after the dreams--even bigger the "meaningful pursuit/s" in my life.. appreciate you man!
you're a big inspiration for me, honestly thank you for sharing your journey with us 🙏🏼

Seeing this really motivates me to try this year! Thank you man this really puts things into perspective for myself and so many others !
Dude, the mere existence of your videos makes me want to quit my career in teaching and becoming a videographer. Greetings from Spain! 😜
Iv been at the lowest points of my life this last few months. Lost my job that I hated and took on chasing my dream. After being down to my last cent and risking the home I strived so hard to get for my family I finally have been getting the contracts I need to pay my bills with my camera.

You made me feel a certain way. Keep being yourself, I love seeing your creative world
Well deserved! Thank you for staying true to your vision, despite the temptations to shift your efforts 👏👏👏
Yes , I subscribed to you and not another Casey, or Gawx. Love your channel bro and thanks for your raw honesty!
Incredible. Thank you for being you and making videos to remind us to be ourselves.
one of ur best videos man, loved this one!! grade is insane too, might have to cop your powergrade when i buy my camera 👀👀
Glad you're finding yourself again. Gawx's videos are incredible but I totally agree with the statement that we don't need another Gawx. I subscribed for your unique voice and perspective.
ONE OF THE BEST VIDEOS YOU MADE. I LOVED WHAT YOU WERE SAYING MATCHED THE IMAGES. THIS WAS JUST A WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE
Loved watching every minute of this! ❤ Inspired and encouraged in my pursuit of finding my voice as a creative. Congrats 🥳
Congratulations on hitting this milestone, and also finding your voice again!
YOU AND Gawx are inspirations, well deserved man and great lesson. Still trying to find my voice!
Every second of this video meticulously crafted to perfection.
Great video and message bro keep it up!
I love your videos so much, you are a true inspiration Andrew!
This video didn’t feel like a downer to me-it felt authentic and real. I really appreciate you sharing this and your thoughts. As someone with a very small and new channel, I often struggle with finding purpose and questioning why I’m making these videos. But deep down, I know I want to give a voice to those who can’t or are unable to. I hope to step into my voice and find the courage to show more vulnerability and authenticity in my work. Thank you for the inspiration-it means a lot.
always inspired ppl, love it sm!❤
needed this. dont think this video couldve came at a better time. thank you.
20% 😊 thanks for your inspiring work and striving to remain true to you!
20% Congrats on the achievement 🎉
Well deserved 👍
now 130k, go for it man!
Congrats on 131K you deserve it and more!🖤
I struggle with this too! I love how honest and transparent you are. #20PER
Thank you so much for sharing so honestly. Listening to you I love your message to not loose yourself for what you think others will like.. At the same time I have the urge to give you a hug and tell you to not be so hard on yourself. Getting inspired by others and trying out new things is a part of the path I think. What matters is coming back to yourself.. Over and over again.. It's not a straight path but maybe something that comes more like in waves. 🤗 Thank you 🙏
One of the reasons I started this cinematography journey is because of your videos Andrew. I'm still learning with me luck.
Hey Andrew, I hope you see this.
I first came across your channel a couple of weeks ago in my christmas break. Feeling run down, creatively defeated and just at the point of giving up.
I struggle with anxiety and depression, I hate having my photo taken or being on video, but you have inspired me.
You've inspired me to make the first step into youtube. I studied film and i've made videos/documentaries in the past, but your style, especially having a lot of it being solo adventures/clips, thats really inspiring.
The way you feel about Gawx is how I feel about your work.
You and another youtuber/film maker Natalie Lynn (If you haven't seen her work you should!) have really changed my perspective on what it means to make videos and to make art.
I hope to come back to this comment in a year and I hope for myself that i've made progress.
My goal for the end of 2025 is to have 100 subscribers (As of writing I havent put anything out yet)
Your videos have a strong impact on those that need it. Please keep being you and please keep YOUR voice. The world needs it.
Thank you!
Those first few seconds honestly gave me goosebumps
You have been a huge inspiration to me. I am creating and deliberately going slow. I’ve been told a few times I could get more subscribers if I do x or y, and I’ve taken time to ask myself if I want to. It’s hard. The creators I admire all say that there is freedom to play when small so I’m doing that. I love words too! Thanks for sharing yours. One last thing, I don’t have a pitchy line to describe my channel yet … I just put ‘ fully self expressed?’!😊
Came at just the right time. Thank you
This couldn’t have come at a better time. Thank you brother and congratulations on all the success
Amo totalmente este video. Me volaste la cabeza con las visuales, gracias por tu sinceridad y por inspirar.
very happy for you. Love your videos😍 20% Fam🤘
I too watched it till the end, I love your work!
Love your work! Thank you for this!
Amazing man, love all your videos. That's for reminding my that I have to make something new and not just copy other people.
I literally just told my friend how you're a good example of finding INSPIRATION from artists like GAWX instead of straight up coping him like soooooo many other people. It's so crazy how many people copy him that I get annoyed when I see a GAWX video now because it's "over-done" and it's sad. Because that really is the manifestation of people literally STEALING from another creator. But I'm glad to see you finding your own voice and style and I remember that's what stood out to me a year ago when you had a few subs and now you've grown exponentially. Great job man!
100K is only the beginning 9f the chase. I'm heading towards 200K but spend my whole 30s and more than 150 videos to chase 100k. And experienced that the hill gets only steeper. There is no top, no goal, no end to reach. You just more likely to loose yourself.
Thank you for this video ❤
I found this video when I need it the most.. starting new YT channel from a scratch and I hope this helps. 🙂
haven't even clicked on this video and I already know it gonna be amazing.
How are you commenting if you haven’t clicked on the video 🤔
But thank you 😂🖤
@@AndrewPaul1 HAHA you got me there 🤣
@@AndrewPaul1 no problem bro, I just finished it. and all what you said couldn't have been more true bro, and your honesty elevates that. this couldn't be better timing for me since im currently trying to lock in on my youtube channel and honestly felt the same way you did. well not the same way but more in a sense, working with what I have and the need of having a $3,000 cinema camera to make good content. I over thought this for a while until I decided to get off my butt and save up for a phone and here we are.
I have a phone, tripod, and mic. everything to make videos that I've been dreaming to do for like 2 years. but its more the feeling after you get all this stuff that you've been dreaming of. your kinda just sitting there lost like you said. imo the only thing to do is just to move foward. less dreaming and more doing and follow your heart ( easier said than done lol ). Amazing content bro keep going! ❤
Congrats, well deserved! As matter of fact I have noticed the change in your style and I knew what was going on, and I didn’t like it. Now I’m very happy to know that we got you back, Authentic, original, and inspiring. Best of luck with the rest of your journey!
I‘m a music producer and this just hit me… Reflects 100% of what I feel at the moment. Needed to hear this…
Love this! Thank you for your perspective!
