You are a gem to the editing community! 🙌🙌
Wow! Tony what a genuinely beautiful authentic video, I was hooked from the start, whilst hooking up a 2nd monitor and playing this just made me stop at times and sit, as the emotion involved and your genuine life appreciation for things that have happened on your journey thus far. Awesome gratitude! Your channel deserves way more traction but you know what you're doing et all... Hope you don't throw the towel in as yes it's undervalued, for now, maybe not always and your content is quality. Your sincerity of making a channel of quality rather than chasing subs, likes etc to create financial gain shines through.
I stumbled on to your channel as I too have found anomalies sourcing editing work on YTJobs, things that just didn't add up ala project vagueness and $1000 to refer someone etc. I find it bizarre that some people supply links to give you a walk through on how they do their videos, as I believe in your quote of, a good editor should be able to watch content and know how certain things were achieved and if they've never created that certain effect, they should know how it can be done.
Thank you for this video and others that I've watched today AND have an awesome day!🙂
I have seen tons of various channels, too much yt really.
But I can tell you will blow up/ grow, you already have lot of great ingredients for what it takes:
1) Great personality: humble, honest pov and you can present your thought in understandable and relatable way
2) Great insights and knowledge
3) Editing skills obviously
All there is left is to come up with great topics and present them in great way, and years of editing will surely help here too.
There is of course many other parts of making a successful youtube channel, but I am sure you can figure it out as it grows
As a video editor whose just starting off on their RUclips journey, this video along with others of yours that I’ve watched have been really inspirational and beneficial. Thank you for sharing your story and I wish you the best in reaching all of your goals.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts. There are not too many people who can openly talk about their editing work.It's really helpful and motivating.
Wish you to reach all that goals that you have
Tony - thank you for sharing your journey brother! I'm just getting started and this is super helpful to hear!
God was leading you brother!
I truly believe He was and still is.
This video was amazing man I'm in a period where I'm not getting a lot of work right now but your story has added to my fire to learn and succeed. Your an inspiration to me and hopefully I can pass this wisdom on one day thank you!
Thank you.
Super helpful video!! I'm just getting started and this gets me so pumped!
I'm an editor as well, and I find many parallels with your story - not having finished university, leaving it behind to pursue editing, enduring a rough start, and then, after getting off the ground, going through a bad patch without finding any clients while spending the savings I had on expenses. Now, it seems I'm emerging from that tough period with a promising project that may require my full-time attention. Thank you for sharing your experience; it's truly inspiring
I wish you the best on your project. There's plenty of space for us all and I hope you make a video about your journey one day.
@@TonyStoodios Thank you ❤ I hope so too
You, sir, have inspired me. Such a motivational story. All the best in your future endeavors.
wowwww. Just watched the whole videoooooo. I'm also 24 going to 25 in a dip living in with my parents and I hope my story have a happy ending like yours. There is still alot for me to explore and I'm currently thinking of going back to school too, I will definitely start using twitter alot more and message you. Please keep putting out these videos
Just take things on step at a time and stay focused on your goals. You got this.
Man! I did listen from beginning to end, even though I wasn't planning to. I related to almost all of the stages of your story, especially the moment when you talked about feeling that you're gonna lose your job soon; exactly what I felt and what happened to me at the end of 2021. I hope at some day we would have a conversation, even if just saying hello!
Feel free to tweet at me on Twitter and thanks for listening - I hope my story helps you in one way or another.
Congratulations Tony! Been watching your videos since years. I'm so proud of you! 😄 May God bless you with all the happiness and success. 🙂 I'm in the tough times just like your were and I'm positive that I'll also get through and will someday be proud of myself just like I'm of you right now 👍🏻 Thanks for sharing all this. This is very motivating and inspirational for me even though I'm in a completely different field still this helped me give another ray of hope. Thanks a lot once again and All the Best the Future ahead ! 😀
Thank you for all the support and I wish you the best as well. Never stop learning.
@@TonyStoodios Sure Tony. And Thanks a lot for your wishes 🙏🏻
This was super awesome and inspirational gem of a video, thanks for sharing happy tears too and your path and choices were relatable to me too as I dropped out of schools and don't pursue regular job for my creative dreams
This is one of the most authentic journey videos I’ve ever seen. Especially hearing you going to Columbia College Chicago (not too far from my Alma mater DePaul University), it literally hits close to home. You’ve really inspired me to keep on chasing video editing further as a passion. I just followed you on Instagram. Can’t wait to keep up with your journey. Thank you so much for sharing your story.
Thank you for sharing your story man, as video editor starting out recently it means a lot to see how others before me have made it. I am truly inspired by you.
Im happy my story helps you with yours.
Hey Tony, this was just so incredible to watch. I've been editing long-form videos for Ali Abdaal full-time for an year now and was able to relate with you at so many instances especially the part where you expressed how grateful you feel to be where you are considering where you are coming from. Thank you for being so vulnerable on record. It's not easy but so helpful for others. Keep going brother!
Tony i found this video today and found your channel looking for video editting because there a job I want and wow just wow Ive watched 5 or so videos and I appreciate the information and realness you provide it gives me everything I want and I thank you greatly I know i can do this because of you thanks again.
You're welcome. My goal is to give as much of my knowledge to you all and I'm happy to hear it's helping you.
Tony, thank you for sharing your story and all of your wisdom from over the years. I've only just started my professional editing journey and it feels like you've cleared the path ahead. It's incredible to hear how you overcame the obstacles and I'm excited to see where your journey takes you!
Thank you for your kind words and I wish you luck on your journey!
Just made a video about your work evidently breaking down Thomas Frank's editing for other creators. Love the systems and style. Cheers my guy! BTW I'm in Los Angeles California and it's overrated. Bad quality of living. Might just be me. Work for a production company in LA. Was my dream and now I just want to slow down and have more time with my family lol. Best wishes!
Awesome I’ll check it out soon.
