The most incredible part of this whole amazing masterpiece for me is at no point was I sold anything. Which on youtube is almost unheard of. There was no cheap plugs and no one was shouting at me to get this "one thing that will make my videos amazing". Truly an authentic experience. Much love!!

@joekaprod 5 месяцев назад

I mean, he did shout out the one tripod that he uses that almost every RU-vidr and influencer was promoting at one point but he didn’t focus on it too much so I get what you mean 😅

@theblooodsport 4 месяца назад

@@joekaprodit’s good to appreciate things that you use but not directly imposing on someone… the video is impactful, you can now choose to be curious on gears he used.

@peppek8631 4 месяца назад

i get you bro just wait as every other “content creator” solds himself and promotes atleast 1-3x per video, but until then i am watching! I hate it so much, i bought YT premium years ago just to not see ads but then everytime i watch some videos i need to be prepared to skip promotions inside the video like wtf..

@358Narada 4 месяца назад

@@peppek8631 yup. No ad breaks. No squares pace or artlist. And even the tripod was featured, but in a way that implied its what they use, and not necessarily what you should go out and buy right away. I actually get it. Sponsorships and affiliate sales let them get paid to keep making content, but this video was a breath of fresh air. I feel like I learnt way more than if the sole purpose was to sell me specific products.

I almost never leave a comment…but I have to this time. This video reignited a passion I forgot that I had, and honestly did nothing short of inspire me. The way you included elements of film making into the explanation of film making with seemingly such ease feels almost like an inside joke that I felt I was in on (even though I’ve never met you or seen your videos before). I genuinely don’t know how this video could have been better. Bravo.

Absolutely brilliant. Keep up the great work.

And instead of checking the time to see how long was left, like I do for 99% of RU-vid videos, I found myself wishing the video was an hour long. That was beautiful and brilliant and pure art. You are gifted in what you do. Thank you for sharing with the world. Keep going.

A very good reminder to just be true to myself.
