Bro that intro didn’t have to be that hard, bro. Knocked the breakfast whiskey right outta my hand

I wanna be a filmmaker. But something that i always like to think about is the art of the equation of our work.

I see filmmaking as a complete art, much like music, painting and etc. But our market is completely different.

I don't wanna be the guy who edit for others, and lose 100% of the protagonism of the project. It feels like is the only way, but i know that it isn't.

Guys, let's fight for this, let's be the protagonists of our art, we have youtube to pay us for our videos, Instagram, and other tools.

(There's nothing wrong with working for others, it's just how I feel. Like, i wanna be big, bro. Not just a guy who film stuff.)

I think what’s hard about getting started is seeing so many talented people (like yourself) be sooo good and being scared to fail.

Wow. Just wow. The entire video from start to finish was absolute perfection. Thank you for truly being the YouTube dad of filmmaking.❤

the "my dad never hugged me" made me burst my biggest laugh at the office

[bananagooz]

Bro... i have been on youtube since i was a kid, never have i been so pulled into a video like this. THIS --- WAS --- GREAT

[jerrywaynecalloway]

This video is the true definition of perfection. You covered a lot in a moderately short video

I’m just starting my filmmaking career. Just a few days ago I registered for my local college so that I can get the information and skills I need to efficiently do what I want to do, that is shooting movies. You popped up randomly on the top of my recommended, not an OUNCE of coincidence. When I make it, when I get there, when I finally have the delight and privilege to call myself a professional filmmaker; I will come back and let you know that you helped me to grow out of the norm and to be myself, explore myself, and to show others MY creativity. Much thankfulness -David

Wow!
I got literally tears in my eyes in the ending of this vídeo...
Deeply inspiring content!
Thanks to putting that into the world!
I'm starting my career as a filmmaker in Brazil! :)

Omg same, I also turned every school presentation into a film project. They asked why I was willing to do the "extra work" but besides the fun I had doing it I'd rather cut out every time I would say something wrong then doing it "live"💯😂

[StevenSchultz]

Unbelievable, homie. So proud of the effort you put into this & the vision you had for it from the start. One of your all-time best pieces ❤

[drakearries]

I really only like filmmaking to add the art of cinema into my vlogs but DUDE, even if I'm not a working professional one, this really nails what I need!

[carterkapow]

There are lots of youtubers that spend a lot of time not really saying much... this video is not an example of that. The whole duration is packed with amazing advice paired with striking visuals and audio. You have a gift, thank you for sharing it with us all.

[jordanadudek]

Love how you casually made this masterclass of a video, albeit five years too late for me. Oh well, failure is a great teacher too 😅.

I agreed with every point you made. Needed to hear the part about continuing to create content, as well as always refining your craft.

[ddames]

That ending was amazing bro. Been watching your videos for a while and your tips have definitely improved my film making. Big ups to you man 📌

[andrewstonephotography]

DUDE! This was MONEY! So clear & to the point! I was engaged the whole time! I love the variety of angles & focal lengths with your talking head shot! Also, the ending was BRILLIANT!! Filmmaking can be your CAREER, but should never be YOUR LIFE! Dang man, well-done! :)

15:50 this sequence was breathtaking. Amazing video!

[tyreeseingram]

I just love how you tell us you loving running then and telling us to embrace our style the proceed to do a scene running; truly beautiful

[EbrahimTries]

That ending felt so real. I cried this is truly filmmaking thanks for this beautiful video

[Qwixo]

the outro is perfect. says everything without saying anything, just like you mentioned in the previous tip. wow
