Dude, this genuinely blew my mind. I felt like I was watching a 3D film! You're pushing the limits on this platform man!

[AMICAELACAMARGO]

Nice video! I've watched like 5 times that part when the light changes and it hits exactly with the music! Great content!

Anyone else think the “lame” footage was actually hella decent

[AlexZavalny]

This is actually one of best way to teach editing and it is so rare to find on youtube - step by step improvement from so-so to amazing. Thanks, Daniel. (I am actually very lazy to comment, but you did fantastic job here).

[DannyGrubs]

Probably your best video. Tips in here are CRAZY. Thanks bro!

6:42 that color shift from the billboards was so dope

[vinceopra]

I love, that you teach me stuff I’m actually going to use in the future! Also that bokeh..😍

Dude, absolutely my favorite video of yours to date! I can't count how many times I came home from shooting something I was hoping would be FIRE, looked at what I shot, and thought 'Well that was pointless.' And in most cases, discontinued the project. After seeing what you were able to do with your raw footage in this video, I'm again re-inspired to go out and make something out of what may seem like nothing. Thanks for the advice and inspiration Daniel! Keep it up as always. Gotta go and keep grinding so I can one day get to where you are with your filming and editing skills.

Epic bro, love the colour change when she is walking away at 0:32!

[zakwan]

6:41 haha lucky to get the light blend well with the beat of the song

[arthousefilms]

Very cool with that snowy overlay! Great idea.

[lalanicelala]

I love how you made so much from so little footage! Could you make a more detailed video on sound design?

[HighGravityAdventures]

that part where the light turns on with the clap of the music is the best part. it went PERFECT with the vid.

DUDE I HAVE NEVER SEEN ONE OF YOUR VIDEOS BEFORE, BUT YOU ARE MY NEW FAVORITE FILM FANATIC EXPERT! I FEEL LIKE I LEARNED A SH** TON OF FILM EDIT SECRETS IN LIKE 30 SECONDS ( I know It was a longer video lol) but there was like zero time wasted with ums and ahhh or fumbling around looking for the right words... great job dude!

[RunNGunPhoto]

Fantastic looking B-Roll Daniel, I'm challenging myself to get on that shooting/editing level.
Thanks for sharing!

[breadkrumbs]

Love that light change with the music in the intro footage

[jonathanacuna]

The power of editing. That's where all the magic happens. Always fascinating to learn about your process. Especially when you go out filming with one intention only to have to pivot when you see the captured video.

[videonoobz]

Sound design does A LOT. This is great Daniel ! Bravo.

[DelannaLeonard]

I live for this stuff... the frustration of tryna figure out how to make things work excites me... your creativity shined through. My favorite part is actually the colour grading tho just wooow😍😍😍
