trying to inspire young creatives in this new YouTube wave of cinematic videographers. here's to making art.

Fav creator out there right now 🫡

People who aren't used to videomaking probably won't understand the tremendous amount of work you put in this movie.
So inspiring and so creative. It's refreshing to find this level in these shallow times. Just amazing!!

[kevincedenoc]

I really like the gawx style! You combined with your style and the result is epic!

[AndrewPaul]

If you like the style of this video be sure to check out the other videos on my channel

[sam_sharpe]

Your style is INSANE! I love how to craft the story of each video, and use such creative shots to pace it along - you're an inspiration!!

[mindraiz]

Man, your video has been added to my list of inspirations! I'm in the process of creating my first video, and I had sketched out half of it by pure intuition. After seeing how you demonstrated the process, I realized it's exactly how I was doing it. But now, with your script on how to go about it, it's become much easier! Thanks for sharing such great content!

everytime I see one of your videos pop up I am so excited. Your ability to pre plan and blend all of these ideas together amazes me.

The CREATIVITY in this video is INSANE

[WisestGeneration]

How do you not have millions of subscribers. You’re pure talent!

[Nexuhtv]

This was actually one of the best how TOS in a while. Simple yet efficient. You didn’t make it seem brilliant and the lip sync was off but all the elements were consistent that I felt immersed!

[AndrewPaul]

what do you want me to make a video about next!?

[trespacerooh]

Amazing work my guy! As a music creator & film maker as well I find myself trying to figure out how to blend the two with a happy medium of documenting myself as cinematic as I can get it while still producing the best quality possible on both ends. This will help me get that vision I have in my head out just have to take the steps to execute it. Thanks for posting things like this on the internet!!!

Loved it. Very inspiring.
"Too much time spent working on this", It's automatically worth it at the end of the day. As time is the common denominator of every wealth, we get anyway an ROI for investing it. Either by the skills we learned, by the fun we had doing it, or by the connection we create with the few people who realize the enormous amount of work we put into our art.
Great work, discovered few days ago your channel, it's a goldmine

[dakedo]

truly one of the most underrated channels, learned a lot by watching this video, subbed!

Brother, your work continue to inspire me. The lighting, the grit on the shots, composition is amazing. Thank you for putting out content like this!

[kayleedaniels]

I'm apart of the 20% but thank you Andrew for this I just started this journey through a high school project. I never I knew I was interested in film until know. And it's been hard man... I have a mid camcorder and it's pretty hard to feel like I can get what I want and without lighting it's hard to makes things feel atmospheric. But this video has helped me to step back and not overthink things. Thanks hope your well.

Whatever the opposite of gatekeeping is, this is it. Looking forward to more videos. 🙏

I think discovering ours WHY’s. It’s like Best what happened with YOU. It will be inspiring you to wake up from a bad in the morning to push things - you will be close to the dream every morning more and more. Looks like someone found his why already 👊🏻

[mamoastudio]

I think I just had an overdose of sick match-cuts/transitions. Fantastic work my man. Deserves a sub!

[camstanley]

Genuinely think this is one of the best youtube videos I've ever seen out of thousands, how tf did you manage to do so much in 5 mins. I'm in awe
