More travel. More adventure. More freedom. That's why this filmmaking teacher is overhauling his life and moving with his family to Vietnam. Welcome to the journey!
Just today I was trying to find the words to describe that inner push or drive to create. It frustrates me sometimes and I don’t always understand it or myself for that matter. Thanks for sharing. It was good timing that I saw this.
Hi Patrick- another great vid- thank you, I am really enjoying your content. One area I am stuck on- as a newbie- is colour grading. Any advice? When it comes to grading, I am stuck with knowing what mood to go for, and how to get it! In the end, I slap an orange and teal LUT on in Davinci Resolve, and away I go. I know that everyone else does this- so would be interested in knowing you thoughts. Either way, keep it up- I do love it when your vids pop up in my feed. Thanks again!
Thank you for your kind words 😁 For colour grading, this is an area I would also like to improve. For now, I don't modify my colours; I stick to the basic corrections in Premiere Pro so that my exposure is good. I add 15% contrast but that's it. I'll be doing a video on my editing process in a few weeks. Hopefully that'll help.
Thanks for creating such beautiful videos with a lot of valuable information! Im starting a clothing brand and I want to ask, what camera would be good for filmaking? I have a moderate/advanced skills on photography/editing, im looking forward to make shortfilms about me and the brand. I have a Canon Rebel T7, most people told me that isnt a good camera for videos so I don’t know where to start. Keep up the good work and best wishes from Puerto Rico!
Thanks for your comment. To answer your question, the Rebel T7, what we've been using in my class for a few years now, is what's called an entry-level DSLR camera. DSLR cameras are being discontinued and moving to mirrorless cameras. An equivalent new camera if you want to stay with Canon is the R50 or, better yet, the R10. That being said, the best camera is the one you already have. Spending thousands of dollars won't automatically make your videos better. If you can't afford a new camera, better lenses are a relatively cheap tool that will help improve your shots (noting that the mount for the Rebels and the newer models - R10, R50, etc - have changed). Another thing that'll help, and this applies to any camera, is light. The cheaper the camera, the less well is performs in low light situations. But with good lighting, your T7 will be just fine. Hope this helps :)
the funniest part about all of these motivation/advice/just do it videos is that they all say the exact same thing. and they're all 100% correct it is literally just a case of you have to get up, deep clean everything and then... just take the first step of your thousand miles
your deep revelations caused me to have deep revelations because i explicitly relate in all the ways youve concieved here I will see to it that i finally proceed my truest creative ventures however they come about
I am so glad that this came up in my feed. So glad! I’m 46 and all that has been running in my head the few months is this how much time I’ve lost and crippled with so much fear about doing what I want to do. I just want to break free and be ok with making a start no matter how terrible the end product is going to be. Why is it so hard sometimes 😢
“Do things and things will happen.” Been creating things for myself for 15 years and nothings happened. I’ve realized that I’ve been feeding a dead horse the whole time
Je suis triste pour toi pi Nat. Pi c’est vrai, they make our day to day life better. J’ai supprimé tellement de vidéos et de photos pck’ils étaient moins intéressants. J’ai aussi pas pris des moments en vidéo ou photos because it was mundane. Pi j’ai eu des regrets pour ne pas avoir eu ces moments en souvenirs.
Y’all - reading these comments has confirmed my intuitive poking that there would be an audience for a 40+ vlog. 43 year old over here 👋🏼 putting it off for a zillion excuses (yes mostly perfectionism endlessly stoeyboarding in my head). While I’m watching other vlogs for ideas and curiosity, I don’t want to (realistically cant) make one like all the 20-somethings documenting their coming of age adventures and struggles, which is the vast majority of vlogs out there…and frankly, where I am in life makes me 🥱 watching those trends over and over. Need relevant material and interest for a different, more mature demographic. Who’s in!!??
I found your channel through your video about losing your precious little Jesse. Now, I'm hooked on your channel and the insightful, creative videos you make. LOVE the things you talk about here!
One of our cats passed away unexpectedly a few days ago... i feel your pain .. It is so hard to lose a family member wither they are one who can or can't talk... i used to hate cats as a kid and this little fluff ball took a piece of my heart in the after life with her... miss her do much... RIP Mittens and your doggo. Keep your chin up my friend, your buddy wouldn't want you to get depressed and neglect yourself but rather look back on his life and smile and as hard as it is, go on with yours as he watches over you. Take care brother hope the pain subsides soon..
I lost my most amazing, brave loving dog today 2024/5/10 1pm. My first ever dog, my first ever family dog. He was with me for 15yrs 7 months. I’ve been watching so many videos on RU-vid about pet loss/ euthanasia as I knew his time was coming, but no other video spoke to me as much as your video did. Everything you said, I strongly agree. Your record of little pup is so beautiful. All the small moments in everyday life is the most precious thing when you look back later. Thousands of pictures and videos of my cute little baby are my forever treasure. I’m so sorry for your loss. I’m sure our puppies are playing together in heaven, eating their favorite food, having so much fun and always watching us wherever we are☺️
Thank you for your message. I used "au revoir" in my thumbnail since the direct translation is not "goodbye" but rather "see you again". I hope we'll all get to see our loved ones again one day.
The many clicks on this video show that you have addressed an important topic that many people struggle with! You should make more videos like this, you can give really good motivational speeches. I think I'll keep coming back to this video whenever I need a kick in the butt to just sit down and write 😀👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I was incredibly creative in my 20's, and had a good future as a textiles artist.....then I met a young woman and got married. That was the death of it all. My creativity withered as I couldn't feed it. Now I'm in my late 60's, single and on my own beautiful acreage, starting to create natural buildings. But trying to revive that atrophied creative mind is hard and I'm so doubtful of my abilities to create beauty again. Social media is generally a curse unless used to an advantage. Thankfully I've accrued many videos of creative people in my Yt library, so I'm hoping to draw energy from them and gain some semblance of the former artist in me. To put the pressure on, I'm being filmed periodically by a crew for a very popular TV programme and am expected to complete my first build in the next 3 months to get it in the can.....it's downright terrifying!
So sorry for the loss of your sweet fur baby. We lost our Newfoundland dog at like 13.5 years old (she passed at home from old age) a few years ago now and I still miss her every day. Long life or not, is never enough time with our furbabies. Hugs.
Enjoyed this so much! And something about your encouragement + background scenery reminded me of the "never give up" clam guy Matsuoka Shuzo. I gotta eep pursuing that creative path~~
I am sure Google was listening since your video randomly showed up on my feed today. We lost our beloved 4 legged child 6 months ago today. Thank you for sharing and for the reminder of what truely is important. I know the pain and I am very sorry for your lost.
And I'm sorry for yours. I don't know if I believe in an afterlife but times like these really make me wish there is one and I'll be greeted by my dog once I get there.
