Thank you for watching. Get out there and make something.

The most incredible part of this whole amazing masterpiece for me is at no point was I sold anything. Which on youtube is almost unheard of. There was no cheap plugs and no one was shouting at me to get this "one thing that will make my videos amazing". Truly an authentic experience. Much love!!

Bro this is literally the definition of art, get this man the exposure he deserves

[anndmn]

Brother I cant express it. A master class in under 8 minutes. People pay 50 grand to spend 2 years studying this and don't get as good a lesson as this video you've made. Kudos, and thank you.

[mitchmues]

Enjoy the intimacy while it lasts people. This brother is exploding this year for sure! 👌🏽

LET HIM COOK, literally, as a chef. Chef kiss

[pigreatlor]

the best creators are when they are small and you watch it instantly go which doesnt happen often, sir you done it

[FRIDAY]

How tf are your videos not getting millions of views? this is immaculate quality!

[TuckerDoss]

Absolutely insane man. The level of work you put into this is wild

[mx.chi]

Literally 16 seconds in, I said to myself, " this is a cinematographer". You are immensely talented

[AlecWilcock]

This is incredible. I've never seen so much effort and talent put into a single YouTube tutorial. You are raising the bar.

[aworthlessbastard]

buddy is handsome. swaggy. a writer. a videographer. a photographer. an editor. a sound engineer. an artist. a creator. a cook... save some for the rest of us karl!

[barrymsibi]

that "shoot from the shadow side" shot and edit was a killer flame. This video just showed that you're onto the next level. Most unique from all the other videos you have - a build up to this powerful transcendence of creativity.

"You gotta be theatric because this is the arts!"
LOVE this. The too-cool-for-school content creator trope can be so paralyzing to fit into when getting started with this

[Jerellaj]

"People who can't do, teach instead" has to be the most incorrect thing when it comes to this video. wow 🤩

[Thebernsteinexperience]

I almost never leave a comment…but I have to this time. This video reignited a passion I forgot that I had, and honestly did nothing short of inspire me. The way you included elements of film making into the explanation of film making with seemingly such ease feels almost like an inside joke that I felt I was in on (even though I’ve never met you or seen your videos before). I genuinely don’t know how this video could have been better. Bravo.

[tanksfornothin]

This was DISTGUSTINGLY well made. The quality was inspiring tbh, so thanks and maximum props.

[josmerymusic]

Holy smokes I just stumbled upon beautiful art for the sake of art and artists. This almost never happens on YT. A miracle!

[EuphoricPentagram]

Holy shit!! This just gave me a new found appreciation for the craft of filmmaking!

[odogx]

Insane level of quality in these vids, literally watching a movie (more thought out and better scripted than most Hollywood films) about how to make movies of yourself. Keep it up man 🙏

[isakjetbean]

I subbed to you a year or two ago, it is INSANE you don't have a larger viewbase on here.

You have, by far, the most distinct style with which you convey your ideas, and without leaning on cliches.

Just so goddamn good
