Everyone has humble beginnings :) love the honesty man 🙌🏻 oh and how freaking much better have you gotten in such a short time haha amazing
*The Legend Matti has entered the chat.*
haha and he has auto-correct for spelling now! #filmaker
Your energy on camera made me feel like I could be myself. Thank you for that brotha!
It's funny to look at your first videos too Matti to see the growth. If I saw your videos back when you first started I would have thought they were great as well but you have just become so comfortable on camera. Seeing that has actually made me more comfortable on camera and also inspired me to just take the first step.
Matti reaching down to touch us mortal men for a second of inspiration.
Hi. I'm on a shoot all day. Tom will be filling in to respond to comments until I get back. Can't wait to read them all. Love you.
Why don't more RUclipsrs talk about their beginning struggles lol. I love this so much because I can't help but relate to it. Thank you for sharing where you came from Danny :)
Right?! The struggle couldn't be more real...
False sense of ego? Insecurity? I think some of the bigger one do it.
Of course man! Its not easy sharing like this for the world but im always glad i do because of people like you.
Talking to the camera is so hard 😅 but even harder is making sure we sound like ourselves! thanks for sharing this
It sure is. Keep practicing and you'll uncover your voice!
That's right! talking in front of the camera is not that kind of easy. I just build confidence when I start filming, coz I know I am not the only one who can benefit it but also the people who are seeking great resources of content.
@@Unknownbrianzaste Yes! It's amazing to think like that, it sure changed my perspective on that
Of course man thank you
I'm gonna start all my videos now with the double clap!
Brillaint
hahaha i never should of stopped
Phrasing.
@@RyanLawless boom
@@StoryUnlocked right?
That "Roll that intro" bit is gold !!
Hahah right!?
@@BonusFootage Can definitely relate to this video watching my own first few haha !!
hahahaha i dont know about gold
Love seeing an older video reacting to an even older video. You've grown so much, and I can totally relate to this. I recorded a video for our other channel a few days ago and my wife just could hear me being so frustrated with myself for like an hour lol. This helps me so much in the journey of speaking on camera cause it's something I've struggled with a lot. Thanks for sharing the vulnerable moments as always.
You’re in deep brother! I love it
YEP! YEP! AND YEP! I watch my first videos and I cringe soooooooo bad! And I know exactly what you mean when you feel you have to be over the top and pretend your an energetic outgoing guy hahahaha..You are the best Danny this was epic!
Everyone has an imperfection when you are a total newbie but you can overcome it as time goes by. Then when you see the result it all worth it.
Brian Zaste absolutely man!! The most important thing is to just get started no matter the Cringe factor 🙌🏼🔥
This was very inspirational to me just starting out on yt and also feeling so awkward! Thank you for being so transparent Danny
Yoooooo!!!! Well done on all fronts! Real great ending of course and legitimately THANK YOU for the last texts you left us with.
Thanks Jeremiah!
thank YOU man. I appreciate you always commenting so much
Ah your videos are so much better! You’re so great! I genuinely finish one of your videos thinking that I’ve just spent 10-15 minutes just sitting down and having a coffee with a great friend/mentor. Ready to push me and just go out and create. You’re definitely one of my favourite creators at the minute. Keep it up!
man thats so amazing to hear. thanks as always dude! You mean a ton to me!
Your first video was way better than all my other videos lol. It’s been fun to watch your channel grow. I remember for like 5 seconds we had the same amount of subscribers 😂
I've been a news camera operator for the last three years from the age of 19, but even with this title under my belt I box myself in hard. All I have to say is you're inspiring man
Definitely man. Thanks so much!
Incredible! Amazing! And you are absolutely RIGHT! The talk at the end about getting out of the self made box is perfect. Loved it!
Thanks Cheryl!!
so glad to hear that
And here I was, thinking I wasn't able to love you even more. You are an inspiration, man. That transparency... uff. Appreciation.
Thanks again man youre the best
man, love the progression and i guess it’s that comforting feeling knowing everyone starts somewhere. Shoutout to Tom too, having supportive friends like that are golden. Keep smashing it guys🤞🏾❤️
Aye shout out you JC!! Thank you for the supportive comments!!!
haha absolutely bro. Thank you!
Danny gets deep at 12:06, but such a great overall video. The whole episode was really enjoyable to watch. Tom, you're a good friend and collaborator for making Danny watch his first video and getting his reactions to it. You could tell it was out of his comfort zone, but what a benefit to all of us still trying to make a go of vlogging. Hearing both of your thoughts on the process was "inside baseball" and I appreciated it a lot. Thumbs up for Danny, new sub for Tom.
thanks so much dude! That means a ton to me
Haha nice to see you at this point ☺️ am at 3k now and already happy af about it 😁 glad you shared this !
Awesome dude! Goodluck! Thank you!
Another super inspirational video. Your raw personality/emotions are what kept me watching, glad you stuck with it Danny!
Thank you as always Tyler!!
I love seeing peoples first videos! Yours was not bad at all!! After many videos, I still struggle with talking on camera and being confident with my videos, but it’s always great to go back and see how much you’ve improved 😊
The kind of reaction videos we actually need! This inspires me to just go out there and do stuff that I love.
I appreciate you taking the time to debrief the beginning of you channel. It’s so tough breaking through the internal critic and trying to hard to ‘brand’ yourself in front of camera. Good message for those of us getting started!
absolutely!! Thanks so much!
Daaaamn that hits home. Inspired and using this as fuel. Much love homie.
Thanks so much dude
This is amazing from beginning to end haha thank you for sharing and nice to see how relaxed you are with Tom.
Thanks so much as always Joon
@@DannyGevirtz You the best
12:07 Bro that closing was so awesome that I had to re-watch it. Keep up the good work.
thats amazing to hear man. thank you so much
Its been 2years since i started videography, and i havent imroved as much as i should. Watching your video motivated me to get out of the box and do the uncomfortable and get better. Thank you for this inspiration. More power to you ❤
First time ever I liked a 'reacting to' vid. Love the genuinity (is that a word?) and not only raving at the old version but also seeing the good in every step.
Definitely a word.
Thanks so much man. Haha maybe becasue this is the first one you saw that someone was forced into
It was honestly your genuine and loving nature that made me subscribe to your channel. It’s really something that not many youtubers bring to the table, so thank you 🤙❤️(and thank you too Tom 😂)
Thank you Theodore, too!!
Thanks so much man
I've started posting more on my channel again and that advice at the end was exactly what I needed to hear! Solid advice, it's felt so good to start creating again!
Thank you so much! That’s awesome don’t stop
The end of the video with your speech was so good. I worked with actors for the first time today, and I was nervous as hell. I'm like one of the most introverted people ever and socially I'm not very good with people that I don't know. But when you step out of that box you learn all of those things. I was still awkward as hell and I honestly didn't really know what to do, but you learn these things. Only by getting out of that box, you learn.
Right?! He did that speech on the fly too. Keep going!!
Amen man! Way to get through it
You inspire me so much! I remember you replied on every comment I leave and that made me comment on every one of your videos haha! Love seeing your channel growing :)
Haryun - Danny's on a shoot today but he'll be back tonight. In the meantime, thank you for the support!!
I always inspired by this kind of content and it makes me eager to continue to create more valuable content.
@@Unknownbrianzaste Love to hear it Brian. Keep going!
Haha im going to continue to as long as i can/ thanks so much
Love loved this unglamorous look into that painful beginning process. Gave me encouragement for my youtube journey. 💚 And OMG you’re 1000% right about that ONE person that says “good job!”-it makes all the difference.
Well said Shelby. We appreciate any bit of encouragement - we have to stick together!
Just continue making videos that can help other people for their progress too.
absolutely. goodluck on the journey and enjoy the process!!! Thank you
Lil Dicky?! That’s amazing - just finished watching Dave. I need to rewatch now and imagine Danny side stage capturing LD’s come-up!!
Haha I wonder if @danny would ever pull up some of that content!!
@@BonusFootage Another react vid! :)
hahaha you didnt know that? Good times in my life lol
this is very inspiring! what I like about being a filmmaker is you are always evolving. I'm glad i've found your channel on this journey :-)
Thank you Billion BItes!
Please list that video again. Would love to see it in its entirety. Love how far you’ve gone in 2 years. It’s seriously inspiring as someone who’s one year into filmmaking. Really spoke to me about being genuine in front of camera rather than put on a charismatic persona.
haha im pretty sure i did! Thanks so much!
This is actually so cool to watch! For me, it represents the real development of filmmaking/photography in the sense that you just have to start somewhere and put yourself out there. When you look back on it, it seems horrible and cringy ... but that is amazing because it is proof of your growth. As someone super young and trying to learn that has been super humbling and hard to realise becasue it means I am not perfect (or at all where I want to be) but I have to remind myself that it's only the start of the process. And if you can get from this to where you are now maybe I can too. Thanks for sharing your raw beginnings. inspired
thats so incredible to read. thank you so much!!
I'm glad you stuck it out Danny. I like how your Videos gave me some inspiration and confidence to put some of my past projects out there. Keep being you.
Watching this on the way to a shoot that I’m nervous about and it’s already given me much more confidence and motivation. Thank you 🙌🏼👊🏼
Dude it's so funny, I think I'm drawn to you and your channel because your energy now is very similar to how I am in person. I don't relate to the most outgoing, super upbeat RUclipsrs you see all the time.. I wasn't sure if that was a persona or if that's how they really are, but it's super interesting to watch this. Very inspiring to watch your growth!
I admire your ability to start and then never stop never stopping!!
This literally brought tears to my eyes :´) I relate SO much to the reason why you started your channel and your explanation on how it's we, ourselves, that put us inside of a box and it's only US that can make that jump outside of it.
And since I've started I went through all those big struggles, the uncertainty, the "I'm not good enough", "I'm not like this", "I'm not like that"... but by practicing over and over, I'm becoming more like myself. I'm also not a really super extroverted person, and I used to be someone I was not just because I thought I HAD to be that person to have success but that's so not true.
But you learn that along the way, now I'm more confident, I've been doing RUclips for almost 3 years and just now I'm finding my voice and figuring out where I want to take my channel, so you really need to learn to trust your journey. It's yours and yours only :)
I wish there were more RUclipsrs talking about their beginnings, this really touched my heart and REALLY helped me, truly. I would write an entire essay on how this video is so important to me but I can't, so I'll just leave my love
So so incredible to read this. Thanks so much Sofia!!!
Mate... this is so PURE. It's hit me harder to JUST STARTA. wow! Thank you.
Thank you bro!
I saw this video last year! I also felt the need to turn my personality up like 1000% 😅😅 like I told you in person, watching you teaches me how to be more myself on camera. being yourself is why we're here and in real life - you're pretty much the same but more embracing 😃.. btw, that "why not me" mentality is how I started too 💙
I love you man! Ill see you soon!
@@DannyGevirtz love you too bro
I relate to every single thing you guys talked about. Authenticity just works. Thank you for being so transparent with your audience!
Aaaaye thank you Tyler!
Absolutely Tyler! Thanks so much man
Damn slightly slower than Anna but haven't clicked on a video quicker in my life. Look forward to vids every week and love the work 😍
I respect the effort. Thank you Mac!
I'm super glad you grew into your true personality. It definitely shows and it is the reason your channel is great. The peace and the joy you exude is what makes it great to listen to you. I'm glad I found your channel!
I've been trying to get back to creating for the past year and a half and haven't had anything to help me get past that block till I watched this video..
I've had bits of success for the one year I spent creating and the work was draining so I just stopped for some reason..whatever it was
I've kept working on edits for a couple of clients though.. but I think that I'm ready to get back out there and create
Thanks so much for this type of transparency Danny.. I relate so much and helps me out alot
Genuinely watching your videos makes me feel as though we are kindred spirits. So true what you guys said. Not everyone is a McKinnon and it’s great seeing people like yourself making it happen.
All the love brother
Thank you so much Brent
Danny Gevirtz you’re more than welcome buddy
These videos where you talk about the importance of authenticity on camera have been revolutionary for me and my creative process - "be yourself" sounds so obvious but something weird happens as soon as that record button comes on haha 😅 Have finally been learning to loosen up a bit and the video making process has become 10x more enjoyable! Thanks for sharing your journey!
Very inspiring, Danny & Tom. Thanks for sharing! 🙌 I'm at a similar stage you were in that first video. I'm at 20 subscribers, shared a couple of travel vlogs, one tutorial and am currently editing the video explaining the purpose of my channel which hopefully sets the path forward.
seems like youre on the right path to me!! good luck dude!
Always genuine and the heart has been there. 📽🎬✊
Thanks so much
To be fair, whip transitions and whoosh sound effects were everything 3 years ago 😂😅
hahaha very true man
YOU ARE 1000% my favorite person on youtube!!
That means the world to me man! Thank you!!!
Super inspired by this rawness, man. Literally almost in tears. Idk if you'll see this, but this was so relatable for me and is giving me an extra needed boost to keep moving forward on my RUclips, and more so, life journey.
I'm a Steelers fan, so if I ever get to visit Pennsylvania I'm coming your way!
Ahahahaha! You're a whole different person now, from Danny McKinnon/Peter Gevirtz to Danny Gevirtz. I mean, yeah I don't know you personally but you've changed a lot. And, thank you for that dose of inspiration. It was much needed. All I did for the day is binge watched a show. Thank you, bro. I love you too. And, Sansa more than that, obviously.
Sansa is such a goooood girl
Everybody is starting somewhere and its really inspiring to see the progress you made :)
Definitely man. Thank you!!
You made me laugh this crazy Monday morning. Love you Danny
Always reminding ourselves to enjoy the process. Thank you Alonso!
haha that makes me so happy. Thank you
Talking about uncertainty, mate this been very encouraging. Especially for me starting out during a very uncertain time for everyone 💪🏼
Definitely man! Thank you!
Thank you for this honest video :) Self-criticism is sooooo important and the fact that we fill embarrassed watching our old videos means only one thing - there IS a progress. And the more embarrassing we fill - the more progress there is.
This video helped me so much. I want to start my own youtube channel. To see that someone who I look up to nowadays, had the same troubles as I have, is giving me a comfidence that I also can do it. Thank you.
So relatable. I’m a fan of nervous 24 year old Danny. 😂
hahaha that makes one of us
When i first got into your channel and check some old stuff, i had to double-check if i was still on the same channel cuz u talk really different before! I thought i was on a sub brand/channel of yours! You're literally a true example of progress!
This is great.
hahaha yeah total 180 . i hate all my old stuff so much. but thank you
Man I know we've talked about it before (on IG) but our goals are so similar and I look to you to and see that it is possible! Kindness, hard work, and creativity inspire more kindness, hard work, and creativity! Thanks Danny and Tom!
That’s the winning formula!!
@@BonusFootage tom with the reply! 💪🏽💪🏽
Thank you so much man
Same here! I used to think that I should have that PM over-the-top energy haha tried it and didn’t like my footages while editing haha
But yeah, Tom (if that’s him 😂) was right your transparency got me too. Keep it up, man! 🙌🏼
Thank you Christian. And yes..Danny keeps it real. I appreciate him for that!
Thank you so much Christian
I really needed that last couple minutes. That’s exactly how I feel right now about doing RUclips. Keep it up I’m definitely subbing
Thank you so much man. Really glad it could help you!
This video gave me just enough motivation to keep going at least for the rest of the year on youtube. Thank you Danny and Tom!
Keep going Sandeep!!
Of course brotha!! Thanks as always dude! Loving the vlog efforts!
I love this, the literal same reason I started my channel. Mine is more stuttering than anything and I haven't even finished editing it, I hope I can receive and deliver the same message and opportunities. Love you!
Thank you David!! Keep building.
You will man. Thank you so much
hahah fun video :), I started mine almost a year ago, but still don't feel confident talking haha mainly cos I am not native English, but getting there with every video and starting to enjoy it :) Love you too mate keep it up
Keep going David!!
@@BonusFootage Thank you mate :)
Damn that was awesome! Amazing ending with the pull down 😅
I totally feel Tom when he says this 10:15. It's actually the reason why I'm binging your content since I've found your channel yesterday. Your personality and the way you put it into videos is unique. I enjoy watching Peter McKinnon or Matti Haapoja, but their personalities aren't as captivating nor are they as creative or relatable as you are. You are my favorite creator by far :)
I subscribed like three videos ago....and i still can't come off your channel...."i don't want to make tutorials i want to inspire" BOOM! u got me hooked! i am the you that is yet to start.
You may have not liked filming this video but it's one of the most inspiring videos I've seen on youtube. Thank you for that!
thats hopefully the plan
Am I the only one who went back to check my “Filmmaker “ spelling on all my socials ?
Haha - did the same thing.
You are not alone
hahaha im sure thats not the only one ive mispelled
Danny Gevirtz 😂😂 this cracked me up Danny 😂🙏
I found your channel this past summer, and it was at the perfect time, a time of uncertainty and hesitation in my filmmaking career. Questioning college, life, friends, and starting youtube again. To continue chasing the dream I had since I was a kid. Also, at a time where I feel much like you did back in high school and college. This video is the reason I am going to start again. Super inspirational.
Thank you.
-Eric
Aw that’s amazing man thank you so much!
I never skip an ad when its your video. ❤️
Thanks for the inspiration danny.
That is also my inspiration when I just starting out my channel.
Now that...is support. Thank you Sumit.
That is a great idea for supporting creatives!
Yeah.. it just takes one person to make it worth pushing forward. You guys get pretty deep here, and super inspiring stuff you get into so effortlessly. Such an awesome watch.
This has been really inspiring. It’s given me fresh motivation to keep on creating. For anyone starting out who’s reading this, let’s focus on getting the process right - the numbers and stats will follow if we get the basics right first!
This is so inspiring, especially for someone with 50 subs. P.S. I Loved the box metaphor.
50 subs is a lot of people if they were all in one room!!! (Ps I’m only at 32)
@@BonusFootage well you got another + 1 Fam.
I agree with Tom man! Its all perspective! Youre on your way
ughhhh this video is so damn inspiring. Like this is just amazing
Danny 😂 funny but also inspiring. Hopefully (or not hopefully? Lol) I’ll look back in 3 years and laugh at myself as well!
Thank you Ari!
haha its all apart of the process. Thanks so much!
(I always get that ad when I watch your videos and that lil diddy gets stuck in my head sometimes...)
as a musician who's been trying to "make it happen" for myself since I was a teenager... I totally understand the cringe that comes with seeing old content of yours. But it's humbling and very cool to be able to see your growth in real time though. I have my fair share of unlisted youtube vids....
Haha I feel you. Thank you so much!!
I choked on my f'n coffee with that pull down! @2:29
....every time.
This is awesome!! Currently working not even bingeing and had to click on this.
Thank you so much!!
Peter McKinnon had every film/photography RUclipsr acting up 😂
This one is amazing !!! I really like this kind of content !!
Wauw.. beautiful man. Thank you for sharing this
I completely agree about the transparency how people are just interested in the real life version of someone's movements. And when I say this, I mean there back and forth position through life when it comes to being a freelance photographers / cinematographer.
this is something that I've been wanting to get into and so I think watching the first video, was a really good idea to make this video. The first video for anyone, I think is something that's nerve-wracking or just makes them anxious in general, unless they're used to speaking in front of a camera. I think the thing about RUclips that I really wish more people would fall into the category of, is people being honest with themselves rather than trying to put up an image. I'm not saying that the first video of this channel was negative, it's just that I'm trying to say that I completely understand why he was trying to put up a certain image that we often times think of when somebody has a RUclips channel. Some people develop personalities, and then some people remain themselves. And I guess it's just really depends on how easily you can turn off the awareness that you're speaking to a camera which is an inanimate object, but then you suddenly realize that there's millions of people watching. To be able to shut that out completely, and then create an individualistic image must mean that you're possibly afraid to be yourself.
I think in general what I'm trying to say is, I really like the channel because of its authenticity and simplicity. When I look for RUclips videos, I don't exactly look for the normal flashy colors. Just because image to me does not speak louder than actions. So when I look at this RUclips channel, I look at the long-term actions and I think it's great. The first video I think was actually more sincere than was given credit. Because I think that the way that you were acting in the first video, was simply trying to be clear and concise with the audience. And there's nothing wrong with that. If you can center yourself around a single frequency so that all around you may understand you clearly. There's nothing wrong with this.
this is superrrr inspiring for me to just be myself in my videos. I've been trying to work on that a lot lately fr.
I did my first unlisted video on Friday and this got recommended in my channel today. My video is actually for a job application to display my motivation for the role. I received great feedabck so far which makes me want to make more of them. Was so nice watching this now and made me realize that we all have to start somewhere and improve as you go along. Thanks for sharing this, made my day!
Hey danny, new to your channel. Now my favorite youtuber. Keep up the cool work!
Inspiring to see how you started, and that human side that makes you special.
love the transparency! thank you!
absolutely! Thanks as always
Danny really barred up at the end! Keeeeeeep GOOOOOINNNNGGGGG! 🚀
BARS BY DANNY
hahahah thanks bro
Always be yourself. It's who we love, and it's the reason your channel gets this amazing growth. We love listening to you share. It's not knowledge until you share it. :)
Thank you...so much... from Tom, for Danny.
definitely. thank you so much!!!
much love from southern germany danny - you are a hugh inspiration to us all
Thanks so much!
Love this! Fellow filmmaker (computer spellchecked that with 2 m's) from the Suburbs of PA, lol. Would love to meet up
I know it's hard to get out of it, and get some distance when it's you, but this isn't HORRIBLE. Thanks for sharing!
Unrelated: Pat's or Geno's? ;)
thank you Jim!! Genos
It's great to see some filmmakers being reserved not so energetic (no offense to Peter Mckinnon), while starting photography and being very introverted I thought many times that maybe it was not the right thing for me ! Great content, I'm so happy I came across your channel.
Holy shit man.. You've made us all grow and you grew with us. Love the honesty
