My day immediately gets better when this man uploads

[GadgetsGearCoffee]

your precision, attention to detail and patience to do all this is remarkable and it shows in your video production quality

[billyfigueroa]

A man of many talents. Forget all the free goodness he's giving away with the filming, this man just made espresso art as if he been working at a european care shop for years hahaha love it

Thanks for all the great tips

[robthewaywardwoodworker]

I'm always stunned at just how much work goes into these videos. Thanks for the hard work!

[RathaSochenda]

Matthew thank you again for this. You’ve help me so much in my own YouTube journey about learning how to make better videos (quality over quantity) just wanted to say thank you by sending you a “super thanks” to help support you any way I can so you can continue to create more amazing content like this. ☕️

[ckhicks]

Seeing you line up all three LOG profiles was impressive - you have a great eye for matching those cameras. Keep up the great work!

[LIVEwithTY]

Would've never imagined the amount of work that goes into these videos thanks so much

Like myself, your videos are a gold mine of information for newbies on content creation.

[MorningDoveHaven]

Hi Matthew, I don’t usually write comments, but wow, thank you so much for sharing your talents with us🙏. I’m a new creator in my late 50’s, began 3 months ago and have been struggling with aligning all the “new content creator” information that is shot at us like a fire hose!🥴 The way you present your strategy for producing your videos, your innate desire to help others that shines through😊, as well as your artistic eye and calm methodic way about you is truly what I needed RIGHT at this moment. I am now a subscriber, and can’t thank you enough for calming me down (😅), helping me to take a breath, and to remember why I’m doing this.❤️🙏

[LifeofIb]

Our king, Matthew. I’ve been looking up to you for a while now man, big fan!

[architeklab]

As an architect an designer I like to build stuff, specially furniture, I wish I could make most of my designs and accesories one day, just like you did, sometimes you cannot find the right table, desk or piece of furniture for your needs, you have to design and build it for yourself if you can. Anyway I like the way you make creative content and your minimalistic style, keep it up with all good work you are doing mate. Cheers.

[AnthonyMcNeil]

The music definitely makes it. Its fits how coffee makes you feel. Great video.

[pedropoubel]

Hi Matthew! Im a brazilian filmmaker that works mostly with video editing. Last year i bought the Sony FX30 to start my journey as a cinematographer/camera person, unfortunately i didn't had much time to learn and practice due to the work as a video editor. Your videos are inspiring me so much to make my own YouTube videos/passion projects in 2024 to practice and learn. I love your channel very much, thank you!

[Yukison]

I love this guy so much!! You truly inspire and motivate me as a young teenager <3

[danicajokic]

Wow! Brilliant! These are some super useful suggestions I’ve never heard before, excited to try

[TeddyinDC]

I'm a learning professional who loves video content creation. This is a master class. Great job!
