What I like in your videos is not the motion graphics so much but the raw feel of you walking with a camera in your hand and going to a new place. Even if you do away with the motion graphics but just have a high quality well edited video of you running around with a camera, I'd watch it. You give me the feel of a gonzo journalist, like what's that guy who wrote Palestine.

@timothyhawken9266 5 лет назад

I feel that it is easier to do things when you have a different side quest to do. I found that when I had to make a documentary for school I could document myself better if I was just saying my thoughts while walking but if I were to stand still in a chair I would stutter and feel weird. He might be similar finding that walking somewhere is better.

no lie tho, he's 100% right. I've been working as a photographer for over a decade now, outlasted all the people in my cohort who started the same time that I did. The difference is that I kept myself humble and kept learning from people, kept pushing my skills, I was willing to learn from anyone who knew something I didn't. My friends thought I was stupid because even when I already had a career I would still volunteer to assist people like I was a noob trying to break into the industry.

I hope you see this because I would like you to know how inspiring this video is for me. I in fact I’m doing much of what you said you were doing to get your hands on the tools. I’m doing videos and pictures for my friends, my cat, my fiancé. Video game compilations for my friend, and all just to get my hands on the tools. To hear you did this makes me feel like I have been doing exactly what I need to be doing. Thank you for sharing this Immensely I will think of this continuing on for many years.

I’m crying as I type this for absolutely no reason, but this was the exact conversation I wanted to have with you. I want to learn where to start, what steps to take. Thank you for the lesson. Thank you for making work that is so important to me. Thank you for inspiring me and giving me a sense of direction to head in, after I’ve been lost and unmotivated for the longest time.

@EvanKiddFilms 5 лет назад

Great point! I would add something that has worked for me is that outside of videos on my RU-vid channel I look for interesting people/current events in my community and try to make a short documentary or two a year about them. It puts me outside of my channel and creates compelling outlooks on others doing dope stuff! Best of luck Katherine!

@Zetomat 5 лет назад

Johnny, you put many things for me into a whole new perspective. You show us ways and ideas on how to overcome the standart and truly learn lessons from different aspects of life. In this video you show us your skillset on how to express our passion into reality. In your video about college, I have realized college is not just a stepping stone into my career, but an actual place for self-developement and expanding my expectations of myself. I have shown your videos to my friends and they were equally amazed by your work. Plus, until now I though that the animations in your videos were made by someone else in Vox, but knowing that even that is a skill you put into your videos yourself is just mindblowing for me to realize. Man you are a true inspiration to keep working on oneself. Thank you Johnny!

I have a Degree in Robotics Engineering. Currently working with a Robotics Engineering Consultant Firm. Yes, it pays the bills, but it's not where my passion is at. I have always enjoyed drawing, expressing the my experience through visual arts. So, I recently started doing RU-vid, my drawing and animation skills are no where near professional level, but I'll keep practicing and maybe return to school one day and get a degree in art / animation. I hope one day I'll find my dream job just like you. :)

@harounben342 5 лет назад

I am in a similar situation, I'm in Mechanical Engineering, I don't hate it but I am passionate about a lot of things, including art, like what you stated as an example. It's hard to make a choice to specialize in something, but for the moment I took some steps away for what I am certified in, to know more and get qualified for a job, then maybe learn more to be an expert while doing things I love, before I step away and maybe completely to more passionate thing and also more impact toward society and leave some legacy. My advice is that you can keep up with Robotics in a way that you include passion with it and think and do your job in an artistic way, you may find it hard to apply that at your actual job but maybe one day with some connection you get to the right place for you.

@lyserberg 5 лет назад

Working for Vox would be a dream come true to me but it's not by all means something that if I had I would be content with. I think the most important for me is just finding a footing in the journalism industry. Catch a gig or two, and build my already existing portfolio to match up my skills. This was a really interesting video. I don't think any other Vox anchor went into in that much detail about their hiring process, and it gives that much more respect for what you do. I'm sure I'm not alone, but for me Vox Borders became synonymous with Johnny Harris. Much like BBC's flagship documentaries came to be associated with David Attenborough. He's just that prolific of a storyteller. I'm not mincing my words when I say this: Johnny is literally my idol and I aspire to be as good as him, if not better. Thanks for sharing your journey.

True that . Two weeks ago I was talking with my friend about how I want ti do something on youtube related to educating content and he told me that he just got an internship at a company like this . So I asked him how did he get this he told me it was just a luck he was scrolling through social media and he saw the hiring and he got it . Now I guess if I have to get in that organisation I should not wait for them to start hiring I should make my own content and send them :))

The conclusion that you allow viewers to take away is relevant for so many people. Hard work and humility. I love how your videos, aren’t all about the flashiest graphics but always carry wonderful insights which leaves a huge impression.

Hey Johnny, thanks for sharing your experience. I found that many people even my myself don't see the hard work and time required to become successful and get recognition for the work. I read a post a few days ago in which it was written: " today's young generation has high hopes and dreams but no realistic way to achieve them." I was in the same boat, and there were some moments where I was losing hope because I was getting nowhere close to achieving my dreams; but, thanks to you and other creators on the internet for sharing your experience guiding to our dreams.

Did you not upload a video on making borders? Anyways... I just watched your Colombia Venezuela video and really liked it. Shared. I have a funny question: I am Colombian and I don't think I would feel safe carrying the camera and so on and sort of vlogging with it in the streets. Did you feel at all unsafe while doing this? I realize that it's your job so it's a bit different...

*Reporters like him, don't just walk around the streets alone, they hire local people to show the ways around usually people that know the good and the bad of every place, and preferably that has some physical training or know how to defend, saying that you need to know too that this kind of job has its dangers so be careful*

Yeah I vlogged in Bogota on my own and felt safe in most places. but I didn't go into any sketchy spots. Maybe Im too trusting?

@goodlifetoolkit 5 лет назад

@@johnnyharris2912 I am very glad you felt safe in Bogota... I feel safe most of the time but partly because I am not taking my phone out in the streets and so on... I think I have to start being a bit more chill about it. :) I see on my Facebook that many Colombians are loving and sharing your video. So congrats. And looking forward to watching the rest of the series.

Big fan from Italy here. I loved all of your videos at Vox and I just subscribed at your personal channel, thank you for this video, I'm a student in International Relations myself and you just gave me a tons of tips on where to start my career. Keep up with the good work! You're great!!

@trixiean8539 5 лет назад

your vox videos are really impressive but your attitude which i discovered watching this makes you more impressive. you worked in jobs that weren't really your dream job but you were thankful about it and used it as an opportunity to achieve your dream. thanks!
