@@carlosocasio9946 Hey bud! I think you are absolutely right about your observation. At the same time, following is not necessarily the only thing you can do. There is one more amazing thing you can do. *"Just start."* Start with your flaws and faults. Man! kudos! you are learning all this while. Just begin. Don't worry. Just start. I assure you the first subscriber as me. But, do the job *.* Begin bud!
Great video! 1 - Life of Riza -> Act like it's the first time 2 - Niklas Christl -> Not every shot has to be amazing 3 - Casey Neistat -> Use movement in the frame 4 - Gawx Art -> Combat limitations with creativity
The sheer work that went into making this definitely deserves a subscription. The research, the scripting , the shooting, the editing, the sound design , vfx ! Youre climbing up for sure
I agree whole heartedly with so many of the already submitted comments. You are recapping what other RUclipsrs are doing well while hitting a bullseye with your own creativity. You've got a new subscriber in me!
Idk why but the sentence „both on canvas and online“ really made me realize how good your script is - obviously in addition to the great visuals and information! 🔥
I had to pause this masterclass in educational cinematography to say "instead of a rack focus, focus on a rack..." was the seasoning this video didn't even need... but made it a 5 star meal. I appreciate a filmmaker who knows where to push and pull... and have fun doing what they love... even the risky. Kuddos sir.
I specifically liked the part where you discussed wide shots, medium, close up, creative.... in fact I would love to watch a full video where you dive into this topic more deeply with multiple examples for each. How to do it right. How doing it wrong looks. To really GET it for the viewers (and me!) 😅
man arent you hilarious!!! The subtle humour was spot on, honestly! Also kudos for filming a video on how to film yourself by yourself sharing knowledge whilst demonstrating it yourself and through others! Mind-blowing and also really smooth.
I absolutely adore your videos. Educational at their core while virtuosically demonstrating the techniques yourself. Even though you and I are in completely different niches, our aims to be simultaneously teacher and video artist seem remarkably similar. I hope our paths cross someday and looking forward to more of your content!
This video is phenomenal! I imagine even for someone not interested in making films or videos it would be so interesting. For those of us who ARE, and who watch these guys you cover, it is an experience. Love how you wove advice, film critiquing, creativity and humor in this. Stellar work! Also...Thank you. You are helping me to level up.

Sheesh, imagining the amount of work that went into the set up and break down of these shots makes me feel uneasy and burdened. Appreciate this break down and killer effort in this video.
This is so incredibly well done. Excellent content, perfect pacing, humor, smooth flow, it's all there. This is information, education, and entertainment perfectly woven together in a way that makes the learning process truly enjoyable.
I always get bored with videos, bc they have the same frame all throughout, I watched this whole video and I didn’t even realise it, I was so engaged, with the content, the camera movements and everything, you did so well
Without looking at the channels of the creators you mentioned (yet), I found your video incredibly inspiring and well put together. You engaged me as a viewer from A to Z. Magnificent.
SO much practical lessons in such a short video. As someone who has ZERO knowledge of making visual content and filmmaking, I immediately get the techniques. Thank you!
I'm a new RUclipsr, and I keep coming back to this video-it’s packed with value and great visuals! I hope to film like this someday. I've taken notes on the subtle humor too. Videos like this are why people are realizing how rewarding creating can be. Thank you for this!
I absolutely loved the pacing of the video and the subtle character and humour you injected into it. The breakdown was top-notch. So glad I found your channel!
Being a RUclipsr is like running a business, you always need to give your viewers what they want. You can't become complacent at any moment. At the end of the day, toughest part is definitely starting your channel and growing it up to the point you become successful (and honestly if I haven't used a lot of Famester, I would have quit a long time ago. It was a proper game-changer for me, and once you become successful it is a great tool to control algorithm).
not gon' lie...this is the best How to RUclips video I've seen. You see that little dot at the end of my previous sentence? that right there is a period.
I wish I could subscribe 100 times. The effort, the advise, the creativity, the generosity, the art you throw on your videos is very much appreciate it. I am glad you are back from those silent weeks. Gracias
There is so much I want to say, but too much to even get started. The short of it is just WOW, you're earned your self a follow and I'm turning on notifications
Wow!!! Tahnk you for this! People really dont understand how much work goes into creating content for RUclips. Your videos are amazing and even better knowing this was all you!
What a great video man! All the creativity in those edits and shots to show you're applying what they're doing! And very hilarious (like the rack focus joke) and the act of compositing yourself in Gaux shots, theyook very well integrated (lighting, angle and style)
Cinematic: Looking, sounding and behaving like a movie. That's actually my philosophy on personal development and life change. If you decided you were going to be an artist, creator, motivational expert, or just be disciplined at managing and investing your money, how would you look, sound, and behave if a camera were pointing at you all day?
Gosh... I just got tired of watching the amount of work this amazing video gave you. All the shots, the amazing edit, the info, the story, the cuts, the script, the lighting, sound, sfx, vfx... amazing. Anyone who creates content and storytelling knows what I'm talking about, and this is just another level. 100k subscribers will come in no time. There is no doubt about it.
This was such a great edit! Your dedication to research, experimentation, and condensing it all down into 8 minutes of pure applicable knowledge with great visual examples, just amazing work 👌
What an amazing video. The way that you dissect how the other creators are making their videos while doing creative shots is very engaging. I really appreciate the enormous amount of time and all the effort you put into this video. I've learned so many things and I can't wait to try some of them in my next projects.
man i am loving this video so much and the way it has been shot is soooo good and the way of how he tells all the stories of other creators is incredible
Amazing video! Great tips, too. But just looking at your video with all the cuts, the music, the sound fx, the transitions, the graphics, overlays, etc etc etc. Wow. Such a great job, Matt! I'm about to sit down to record my first video, and well...I don't have the time to learn how to do all of this fancy stuff, and to script it out, organize, plan, etc. If I wanted to do that, my first video might get published in 2028. So I'll just sit down and record A-roll. Cut out things I don't need. Insert a little b-roll, and be done. Simple. Not effective, perhaps. But I gotta get my channel started. They say if you wait until you're ready, you'll never do it. Still...I love this video and the tips you've shared. They're all very very good, and very useful.
I would definitely watch a full length tutorial of how you made this video happen. The cinematography, grading, storyboard all is very impressive. I’ll get my eyedropper ready and hope to binge all your videos…underrated channel…SUBBED!
First filmmaking tutorial that doesn't make me feel like my skills or equipment aren't good enough as they are. Thank you so much for speaking to this - I find myself in frustrated RUclips-binging rabbit holes (I was in one when I found your video lol), looking at things I cannot afford because so many videos make me feel like I've gotta get XYZ before I can even start.
The production quality of this video is outstanding! The info too, but the visuals 🤌🏼
Agreed 100%
It's was really fun to watch and inspiring too🌟
it's insane

"Creativity is a skill we can learn." goes crazy
The after effects work in the video is so subtle you barely notice it which is why it’s perfect. 🎉
Any idea how he creates the effect at 7:16 ?
@@wearejungians could achieve it with the 3d tracker in After Effects. 👍
@@RobbieMoney as a vfx artist, i disagree. You cannot track a camera without camera movement. I guess, he just eyeballed the positions of the inserts
Instead of thinking of all the reasons why you can’t, rather think “how can I make this more interesting because of my limitations”
Pure gold
The level of elite editing and storyboarding in the video is astounding. 🔥 You deserve millions of subscribers.
he got one more
i was blown away like
The way you combined all the styles of these different masters. You are Sauron of Film making bro

This was an incredible video itself.
Loved the breakdown, the humour, the effects and everything else. 💯
