    Clean narrative both audio wise and visually. Thank you for sharing your experience so far in L.A with us. I hope you get to enjoy the opportunities it brings and bask in bliss.

    great video. i’m going through so many of the same things. i moved out to LA 3 months ago and it’s been as you describe.
    the amount of people you meet is extraordinary. the idea of there being infinite work is something i was just thinking about. what do behave like when the tasks are never ending? you slow down. it’s about sustainability.
    i think you’ve inspired me to make my own “moving to LA video.” hopefully mine will be as tastefully done as this one 🤞

    moved to L.A a week after I graduated highschool celebrated my 19th birthday here and starting a content creative company I grew up in a small town in New Jersey and I will admit the rain and melancholy feeling is something i miss so much it's weird having everyday where the weather is so nice back home when it rained a since of comfort was given knowing "today is a slow day" or "today is a day for a reset" it seems like in L.A it's always GO GO GO GO or you technically lose out on opportunities etc

    could you please share how much time you have to reserver for a video like that? concept, shooting (is the broll shot or do you have a pool of broll of you?) would mean a lot to me if you could share these infos in the breakdown🙏🏻 thank you
    like the video a lot! gained a sub!

      @RyanKao  6 месяцев назад +1

      Thank you Jona, I'm glad you enjoyed it. I didn't cover much about this specifically in the breakdown, however I'm happy to share more with you if you have specific questions.
      Writing the script and story was on and off accomplished in about a week. Pre-production and shot planning was about 2 days, and filming itself took an accumulative 3 days. I fully recognize this sort of goes against the video being a "day" in the life, but it's a pretty accurate depiction overall.

      @@RyanKao thank you so much! Yeah I understand that’s it‘s not literally a day in your life where you just put your camera next to you 😁 It‘s so nice to see you‘ve put so mich effort into it and now I have a rule of thumb how much time someone needs to have a quality video like that 💁🏻‍♂️ before that I didn’t have any clue. And now when creating videos in the future I can aim for something and don’t stress myself thinking „omg its taking so long for me, I bet others do it in a day“ or thoughts like that
      So thank you! 😊
