How to write thought provoking RUclips videos
Thanks so much for stopping by everyone! If you feel compelled to further support the channel consider joining. I've posted many hours of bonus videos on there including one I just uploaded where I teach Nathaniel Drew to shoot 16mm film. Making RUclips a living without shilling generic sh*tty products is super difficult and the membership is helping me make that happen. I'm also so grateful to have support from brands like Musicbed that I actually believe in and have genuinely impacted my life in such a positive way for such a long time. Okay that's all, see you for Stanza 3!
Hey Shaffer, I've watched your videos for a while, they are absolutely enviable. I take delight in your color grading, appreciate your deliberate cinematography, and thoroughly enjoy your heartfelt storytelling. Your videos shine against the drab majority of content on this site. Thank you for making good videos and bearing your soul for us to see.
"Writing is the ceiling raiser of video making" and so is that shirt your wearing. Well done! 🔥
When we talked, you told me to never give up the writing/storytelling for visuals and camera-stuff. I think for a while there I made that mistake... Or was almost on the verge of it, at least. I got addicted to visuals. Vimeo, underground youtube, all that stuff. My competitive nature could not stand that I can't make what they can. I wanted to become the best filmmaker I could.
But I realised recently, that looking back on my old work, the thing that makes me like it or not is purely the message. The words I say, not what lens I say them to. So I'm taking a step back and diving deep into how I can become the best writer/storyteller that I can. Thanks for this reminder, Shaffer - you're a legend.
I'm psyched about the waves that this level of thinking and operating in the world will create. This - and the videos written from this framework - is so refreshing and 100% what we all need more of!
Cheers man, appreciate your work
Dawg I needed this video today! Been stuck on a script for weeks
Left this video feeling hope for YT. The amount you've invested in a platform that rewards the opposite of what you stand for is so encouraging. Love seeing this like minded community form, and a few of of the channels I appreciate head to boonies of CO to create with you. Keep cooking brother 🦅
needed this
Now, that's interesting🧐😅 The past probably 1 1/2 months i've been educating myself about storytelling because i realised that's the next step for my filmmaking work.
On every film that i edited i got frustrated because of lack of good storytelling. I almost wanted to quit making filmmaking because it was so frustrating.
But then this process of learning about good storytelling somehow crossed my path and now I'm soaking it all in.
I initially subsrcibed to your channel because first film i saw got me hooked rightaway with your storytelling.
So this one Now is just perfect timing!
Keep it up man!
up until now, this very moment, i had never considered taking writing seriously, like really reflecting on the notes i scribble
I would put them into my journal and justify the "stream of conscious" by saying I would come back to what i wrote and explore it more next time
and it worked... to an extent, I would re-read the notes, sometimes add some ammends, but i never truly reflected.
I never truly sought to improve on my strategy of letting it flow out of me.
I guess i always just hoped it would be a passive thing, by doing the task over and over again, i would gradually improve, like exercising a muscle.
And sure, maybe that has happened, a bit.
But a world-class weights champion doesn't go to the gym casually, and if i do want that ability to externalise and have impact, than i would need to move onto heavier weights
Thanks for this video, as always, beautifully done
All i ask is that I'm not shadow banned aswell
Juicy video. Beautiful and good information. 🙏💙
It's so validating and refreshing to hear the importance of a story over visuals
This was so damn helpful as a photographer, thank you always man🙏🏽
How could Peter do this!!
Currently in the very early first 0.01% of my creative writing exploration and I am all for it. I'd like to thank you for a lot of my inspiration to begin down this path. Whether it's videos or music or personal growth, whatever the product of my writing is, the writing will be what ties it all together!
wow🔥this is incredible!
did Shaffer just hit us with a "stick around til the end of the video"
but it was worthing, great story in the end
This video helps a lot!
thanks for sharing your process and props for being blacklisted from PM, that's sick.
genuine question - is there an algorithm benefit to changing the title and thumbnail of a video within a few hours of uploading? it seems to be super common on a few channels i follow. cheers
No it's a Hail Mary for when the video bombs in the first few hours hahahaha
@@ShafferN gotcha. i guess the first few hours are that important eh?
No way! You’re the bigger bucket guy!
Writer? Hardly even know 'er!
please don't shadow ban me
First titel was better! - it had more power, that was what made me want to click.
petition to boycott computers !!!!!!!!
Been absolutely loving your videos dude. 2:39 hit me as it's something I'm starting to notice in my journey, It's allll about writing while the visuals/camera/lighting is only there to supplement that.
