Hi bro im from Kenya Nairobi

@directedbyvideoguru 4 года назад

And honestly thank u for everything u do i learn from u especially ur short film is awesome

@Thepietro5000pp 4 года назад

I liked it. But talking to yourself when watching your stats on youtube was cringe overload haha

@cliquemediaproductions 4 года назад

Man, I watched it twice! Will watch again for sure. Got an idea to do a short from watching. Do more bro.

@MPCGANG 4 года назад

Hey My Guy, I was very surprised that you shot a short film. I completely understand everything that you went through creating it. To be honest, I actually shot a short film last year at the University of Memphis with 2 very good friends of mine. We all learned everything that you mentioned in the video. I'm going to leave a link for you if you'd like to check it out. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Sbew-gUVutw.html

@JCPFILMS 4 года назад

Someone asked Denzel Washington for some acting advice, he simply said “keep it simple” and that applies rather your behind the camera or in front. That how I’m able to get so many short films done.

@danielhenry7963 4 года назад

Man I'm glad you commented! I came across your work today and I'm seriously impressed. You just got a fan - can't wait until you get a feature film out there. AND YES...don't talk about it be about it!!! Keep grinding!!

@DVJBBAZ 4 дня назад

thank you for your comment it gave me a lot of ideas

@mondobytes 4 года назад

Love that you filmed everything in 1080P 👏🏽

@b-vos 3 года назад

That's what got me. The footage looks so good for 1080p.

@masterpiecetvafrica2961 4 года назад

Filmmaking 🎬 Important Points 1. Focus on the Story 50% 🏃‍♂️ 2. Focus on the Audio 30% 🎶 3. Focus on the Video 20% 🎥

@JayneNicoletti 4 года назад

Truth.

@flipfilms1759 4 года назад

Masterpiece TV Africa nah bro you focus entirely on story everything u do with the camera and audio is in support of the story.

@masterpiecetvafrica2961 4 года назад

FlipFilms In each Category you give it your all Whether Story Audio Or Video, You bring the best you can. Just that Most people Focus on the Video Too much and forget that Audio and story are more important than clean visuals with no meaning and supporting sound.

@cameroncarlton9601 4 года назад

The color grade was dope. That’s one of things that had me amazed. I’ve used some of your luts and they’re darn good too

@RolandBaker 4 года назад

Yes! I loved the color grade and how clean it was.

@LookitsTook 4 года назад

He actually has some of the only Luts out there that i use regularly .

@Guttz_ShoTit 3 года назад

I still use his LUTs to this day

@VisualofHotwheels 3 года назад

That 50mm 1.2 is boss level. The slider is fire as well. The 50mm 1.2 is so wide open at its max, you can use natural light with no issues.

@ChristopherLRussell 4 года назад

Ok so I'm not sure if you will read this comment but...transparency, this is my first time commenting but I am a LONG time viewer/subscriber. Let me say that this piece right here did it for me, brother. I am ACHING to make a short film so badly. My problem is that I just don't feel "good enough" yet. I keep telling myself that I will keep making these vlogs and adding little touches of cinema here and there until I am "ready". I am learning that the truth of it all is that I need to just DO IT. Bad or good, I will learn something from it and I will be able to apply it to the next go. There is no real, "ready". Your film almost brought me to tears because it was so good. Seeing it with filmmaker eyes is so much more special. For real. The feeling is just magical. I am inspired and ready to start building towards my first REAL film project. Like I said, not sure if you will see this but I needed to say it nonetheless. Bro...THANK YOU.🙏🏾✊🏾

@JimiCanRead 4 года назад

Have you started on your short film yet mate?

@ChristopherLRussell 4 года назад

Jimi Can Read wow, i didn’t expect anyone to read this. But yes, I have. I’m in the process of relocating at the moment so many of my “to-do’s” on on hold, or at least extended until I can get back settled. Thanks for asking, my friend. 🙂👍🏾

@JimiCanRead 4 года назад

Christopher L Russell Good stuff man, I hope the move goes well and you have a good experience making your film! Stay inspired!

@K1ANOOP 4 года назад

You found making a short film harder than a music video?! Wow. Music videos including, yours look crazy compared to short films imho BUT it was great to know that someone as experienced as you found it took you longer to complete it and the length you’d initially anticipated too. It has taken me until last October to make short films to a level I was starting to be pleased with and when I did, I got headhunted by The LADbible Group (about a week after publishing it to my RU-vid channel) for whom I’m in the final stages of post-production as a freelancer, with my first short doc for them related to the passion projects I’ve been doing for the last couple of years. I know you’re transitioning away from music videos but your content is still and always insightful and very much appreciated. So thank you.

@SkinnyWasHere 4 года назад

I truly appreciate your perspective and honesty when it comes to creating.

@YCImaging 4 года назад

Always!

@MarbooJr 4 года назад

YC made a short film (content) then made a video breaking down said short film down (content x2). YC the goat man 🐐

@strystyl 4 года назад

Double up where you can lol

@RISE-327 4 года назад

Im watching this as I'm building large miniature scenery for a clients music video, I worked on ' BLADE RUNNER 2049' and 'Ghost in the shell' building props and City Buildings , everything you said is Straight up, alot of the time its fear of failure, but you just have to shoot something, just go for it, every time you do it it clears your head and the vision you want gets clearer, all the best from New Zealand ,love what you do sir.

@shenova 4 года назад

“it was hell, you know what i mean?” - pretty much sums up being a content creator. 😂💯

@NicolasWaldvogel 4 года назад

10:03 was def the MONEY SHOT of the film man. I work on bigger films with big crews quite a bit and it's super inspiring to see, how you got some shots that would take a professional crew hours sometimes to set up, all by yourself! Yes you may be more limited and a crew will give you more reliable results but at the same time, a lot of creativity can get lost in the machninery of it all. Bottom line, keep doing what you're doing, it's inspiring!

@BeckiandChris 4 года назад

Loved hearing about the process! What you said about planning is so true! When we were filming Cold Island we tried to plan everything and on the second day weather messed up our entire schedule and video and we had to roll with the punches. Sometimes the best things happen though when you leave room for spontaneity, also a great opportunity to learn.

@BeckiandChris 4 года назад

Also the Canon 50mm 1.2 was my favorite canon lens, something real special about it

@queezytarantino1456 4 года назад

I love the perspective. I think all of us creators get stuck in our own head while we are creating and when we release it. We want it to make an impact and tell a dope story in an interesting way. The takeaway for me was; when things suck, create, when things are going up, create. Thanks for the inspiration homie ✌🏾

@phucmapvlog 4 года назад

Getting yourself in focus is an issue for me as well. Even worse it will look like it’s in focus on the camera, but not so much on the computer. Thanks for the video!

@YCImaging 4 года назад

So true!

@kpmstreetphoto9732 4 года назад

I LITERALLY JUST DID MY FIRST EVER SHORT FILM LAST WEEK.... I LIVED EVERYTHING YOURE SAYING!!! lol never have I related to a video soooooo much! Thanks bro

@secure808 4 года назад

Thank you again, for this. I have been trying to inspire my creative son to just work on anything as he has been on a block for months. I will forward this and your short story with the hope it can let him know he is not alone and that he has more support than he believes.

@AlaaEsmail_ 4 года назад

I just wanted to say I been watching you for a while and your confidence/voice sounds a lot better since you began. Great content.

@bseligson1 4 года назад

You learned a lot in this! As someone who wants do narrative work I’ve discovered all the same things on my shoots. You get better and better with each short film you do. The problems never stop, there’s always something that goes wrong

@MVPMoneyB 4 года назад

Man I appreciate you so much brah I really learned alot and you got me ready to start posting alot sooner than originally planned and yes I would like for you to do more and teach more about short film based content thanks again!

@boondoc001 4 года назад

I saw the short film and it was dope, the lighting and color grading was on point. Your sound design was done so well that I didn't even notice how good it was until you just mentioned it. Mission accomplished 🤙🏿🖖🏿

@frequencyvibrationenergy 4 года назад

Came out perfect bro. That short was truly felt.

@tylerpappas2488 4 года назад

Finding your channel a month ago was a blessing. I appreciate how open you are in your work, you tell it how it is. Keep it up man, you're an inspiration to many

@drez.23 4 года назад

I watched it. Love the message and I'm taking this with me and will definitely remind myself with these facts. You're awesome.

@TheNardcast 4 года назад

this was great, man. i wanna see more short film or narratives coming from you, man. I know it's a lot of work but it's totally worth seeing the final outcome. The sound and color is great. Keep it up. Truly inspiring.

@MrTerryRay1 4 года назад

This is awesome as well as the short film. Your choice to use sunlight is a great one as it communicated "this is what it is like at home", and showed us we can do the same. The quality you got from those sunlight shots are so good because of your skill and your camera. Even the shadows look good. Of course your story is fire. Please do more of this as you feel like it.

@jaydakid4208 4 года назад

I watch everything you put out till the end screen annotations are done!!! Bro i been shooting for 3 years and i found you around 3 months into my journey. Man i appreciate you on a level that i can't even explain!!!

@SamCrossFilmmaker 4 года назад

I AGREE COMPLETELY. I just shot my first AND second shorts in the last month (film riot short contests), and it takes SO MUCH MORE TIME than I originally anticipated. Very few things go the way you think they will, but at the end of the day, if you tell the story, you get the job done. Really proud with how they turned out. Keep up the good work, and MAKE MORE SHORTS.

@stephenscrivens 4 года назад

I love the advice of keeping it simple. It's so easy to obsess over everything with your videos to try and make them perfect. It doesn't ever have to be that way.

@topicruben 4 года назад

I’m new to this channel. Man, you’re amazing. I watched the short film and I loved it. Watching this now. Thanks so much for the tips regarding the importance of audio. Keep rocking, man

@brittanijackson2968 4 года назад

Yes, I watched the short film - enjoyed the BTS and talk through about the process to create it!

@klikfotoz5694 4 года назад

You should definitely do more of these. Like I said on the actual video comments you are great at what you do bro and a big inspiration to a lot of us small creatives. Much respect!!🙏🏾🙏🏾

@anikaromano8980 4 года назад

I love what your channel has grown to. When I first started watching you, you were doing product reviews. I use to fast forward a lot, but now I am captivated by your honesty and creativity. I liked your short I left a comment. Thank you for continuing to share. YCImaging has become one of my go to channels for inspiration. 🤓

@twhit007 4 года назад

YCI. I saw the short film a few days ago and was captivated by how it all came together. Your debut work was entertaining and very well shot. This follow up video is also a gem. You've helped break down the process you're learning, all while helping others. Creativity and communication live strongly in you. Keep going! #ForeverFan

@fabiansimon3795 4 года назад

I liked your short film. The overall quality and appreciation for detail is amazing. And this recap spoke right to me, because I’ve been procrastinating with the exact same thing for weeks now. I don’t even dare to pick up my gear at this point. I am so lucky, you did this and thanks for sharing your ideas behind it, too. Keep it up.

@boblee7844 4 года назад

I’m am an advanced beginner still photographer, now retired from my professional work. I enjoy learning new info and your work is tops. I love to see brothers and sisters achieve. I watched the entire short. Keep it rolling. Congrats.

@johngettisjr6545 4 года назад

@NAKEDBURN 4 года назад

@Birdyflu03 4 года назад

I been thinking about making my own short film and this video randomly came up. Awesome short by the way man, you're on your way

@RecklessNinjas 4 года назад

Good stuff! I related with the short film a bunch as a creator in general. I would keep creating the short film stuff for sure and then keep doing this reflection on it.

@djjaybiz7492 4 года назад

You did an amazing job on the short Bro 🙏🏾 I'm certain we'd love to see more short film based content from you! Keep it up.

@AdrienneElle 4 года назад

I loved the short film, and I really appreciate you making this behind the scenes. Thank you!

@dakarimusic9087 4 года назад

You did your thing broski! I appreciate you. My wife and I are shooting a short as we speak. Just trying to check a thing on my to do list during this quarantine. Stay doing ya thing! Your appreciated!

@arthur4622 4 года назад

The short was awesome man! It got me inspired to start writing a short story of my own so I can start working on my film school applications (USC)

@kamig7126 3 года назад

you’re so chill i feel like i’m talking to a good friend just helping me learn. what i always wanted. also it was kind of you to wait until your son was sleep instead of making him stop playing.

@haroldradido 4 года назад

Loved it. Though at 1st I thought you were clowning us before I realized, y'all go through this too...Thank you for keeping it real and all the best with the new one on the way!

@ogonzilla 4 года назад

Congrats on getting it out there. Turned out great. Thanks for sharing with us.

@travellt83 4 года назад

This video was everything I needed and it answered so many questions. I have procrastinated with projects that I want to do because not having the no how and a team around me. Please post more content like this.

@theBropair 4 года назад

I love your colour-grade and the quality of this video. Audio quality over video quality all day long but you've hit both here. So well done!

@MVCEO 4 года назад

Dope bro. The only "L" to be taken as a creator stands for Lesson...they come from our best and our less. Looking forward to the next!

@jwkevmedia4242 4 года назад

As a fellow filmmaker I really enjoy this content. It’s also really relatable, with regards to the filming yourself stuff. It’s so hard when you have to direct yourself instead of somebody else haha!

@koori_moto6678 4 года назад

Thanks for this one and your short film, both very motivating. I’ve wanted to film RU-vid videos for a while and been waiting for the right time, you just said it “stop waiting and using excuses”. Loved The RU-vidr 👌🏽

@alanaocano1482 4 года назад

I've began dabbling a bit in creating video thanks to channels like yours. I've learned so much in every one of your videos and your transparency in bts videos is something I appreciate greatly. I don't usually write comments, but I'm just thinking about how there must be SO many other creatives like myself that feel this same way when watching your content but don't bother to write a comment. Just wanted to say thank you so much for inspiring us and that I know I can rely on your videos to delve further into something I want to become great at :)

@TheMartinEmpire 4 года назад

It's so dope that u shot a short that was simplistic and Impactful! Thanks for the inspiration bro.

@BouchraBat 4 года назад

that's amazing what you ve done !you giving us such a great energy and support to all creatives who re trying to figure it out what to do next during this quarantine. thank you!

@ricardogonzalez5754 4 года назад

YC always humbling to watch your videos in the morning before I go to work. Keep creating. Much love from SA. ✌🏼

@shadowhand.productions 4 года назад

Hey man. Loved your short film and all your content. I've made a few short films myself and I can testify to everything you said. I myself have gone through this. I thought I was alone but it's comforting to know that you experienced these things and have overcome. There's hope for me still. Thank you for making this video. Blessings and be safe.

@djlive408 4 года назад

Great work man! I totally agree with you on the "just gotta do it" part. Many creatives just sit and wish they can do something or make excuses but the only way is to take action. I've been taking action on many ideas that I think of and it's good to exercise your mind and just do the dam thing! Keep up the fire work!!!!

@erikledesma5566 4 года назад

Your short film was great and thank you for making this behind the scenes follow-up video too! You've def inspired me to get off my butt and put my creative mind to use while at home :)

@dzdrums1426 4 года назад

Nice stuff man. Really helpful for future content on my own channel!

@Democratese 4 года назад

Yessssss! This was a great introspective to the piece. Its funny that you had similar feelings to when I shot my first short. When you add crew the machine of a set really starts to come together. Now that its something more personal to you it will be a very different feel when you shoot. Definitely cant wait to see more, would definitely pitch you some stuff if you wanted to work on someone else's script.

@MayaWeatherall 4 года назад

I thought I commented on this video, but I rewatched the RU-vidr and I am always impressed by your videos. They are inspirational and gets me to thinking what am I not doing enough of? Thank you for making this BTS video, always love hearing filmmakers' thought processes when shooting or directing.

@eurainscott7668 4 года назад

Excited to see that you are excited about the views going up. Brings good feelings. Last few videos I watched from you didn't really have good vibes, although I understand during these stressful times. its difficult to stay happy and motivated, i do feel like it could've hurt your viewership. Keep up the good work.

@batteriesareincludeduasllc1309 4 года назад

Hey YCImaging, keep at it. The more you do it, the better you get at it. I love film making. Everything that goes into it from coming up with an idea to final product. My problem is that I'm a 1 man team. I don't have anybody like minded as myself to collaborate with. People around me are just too busy or aren't interested in film making, but I'm not going to let that stop me. Just like said b4, keep it truckin'.

@adamdangerfieldverticalmed7982 4 года назад

Thanks, man I really appreciate your work and your willingness to share.

@sarajennfunvideos208 2 года назад

Thanks for making a behind the scenes. I think it helped that you had all of the equipment to make the film, such as that moving rig. You did a great job. It was great visual quality and very engaging to watch.

@dianaquinones4792 4 года назад

You sir, have inspired me. I purchased my camera two weeks ago and I have yet to used it. My palms get sweaty just thinking about it. Thanks for the "push". Subscribed!

@AndrewRusk 4 года назад

there is an awesome documentary called Super Size Me. Had to have been filmed in 720p but won awards and was an amazing story. The story is more important than the resolution.

@davidtome22 4 года назад

Great job as always, and you right, better done than perfect!

@AJVogel 4 года назад

I really enjoyed the short film. I thought it was great that you included the part about taking a break, and relaxing to rest your mind/creativity. I find, with myself, I’m hyper self critical and I get stuck in these pockets of quitting because I’m not good enough for my own expectations. “Why isn’t this beat working? Why can’t I write a good melody? I just suck at this.” And I originally thought that’s what you were trying to portray. But then you got up and started creating again, and that, for some reason, was a really powerful, inspirational moment for me. I really appreciate you sharing your short film, and the rest of your videos.

@v_r_ 4 года назад

Love the short film and I'm definitely inspired to shoot my own. I always like behind the scene videos even better than the actual films themselves, so thanks for making one.

@barakerzeonlist4608 4 года назад

@TheModernFilmmaker 4 года назад

I only know you as a subscriber but man I am so proud of you!!!!!!! From the shaky voice when you started the channel until now you are a prime example of what following your passion can do. You have inspired so many of us here on RU-vid(like myself) and I cant wait to see what your future holds.

@Gordymax 4 года назад

I can relate to all the factors pointed out in this video. I shot my first short film and stressed myself over the colour grading and lighting but the most feedback I got after posting it was about the sound quality. Thank you for this video. I want to see more of your short films.

@Shon8877 4 года назад

Dude I really like what you started doing!!! I got to admit that you have nice gears, and this video behind the scenes is pretty great idea. Keep it up

@cameramanfrank 4 года назад

I have done this before but didn’t complete things but this have given me the motivate to really go forward and do what i want to do when it comes to creating dope RU-vid videos. Like you say . No Excuses !!!!

@ChrisWilmshurst 4 года назад

Great little behind the scenes man. One thing I'll always remember when I took film at Uni was that they always stressed a pretty picture will never counter bad audio, but great audio can forgive a bad image.

@kolecava 4 года назад

It was a good piece man, you shiild do more like that! and thanks for the giving us the push man! I just got my tripod for my P4K, i can actually film myself now just need to think of an idea for a small isolation film.

@thehoodcyclist2375 4 года назад

Definitely would like to see more short films wonder what other ideas you may have for other short films. I’ve been a photographer for a little while now I’ve been feeling to go more in video now and watching your videos and things like this just inspire me

@FitToFlourish 4 года назад

I watched the Short film and this review. Very inspiring for a super beginner like myself. You took advantage of a lot of hacks doing this yourself. Proud of you and look forward to more content. Your videos are dope. And I pay attention to the visuals so I notice the hard work man! Keep it up

@ijustshyne 4 года назад

Short film was sick bro, you’re defo an inspiration as I’ve been sitting on my backside contemplating what to do next. Thanks for this. Your channel is sick too. All the way from the uk 🇬🇧👍🏾

@jiggyeditss 4 года назад

Yc I loved the short film man! I actually started off making short films and skits before I got into making music videos. The skits taught me a lot about composition, lighting, and where I learned basic edits. But I loved the short film and this lil commentary video✊🏾💪🏾

@cassiusrochford 4 года назад

The short file was dope bro! Conveyed the message you were trying to get across! Can't ask for more!

@nerdzeyeviewimages9658 4 года назад

amazing video brother. this definitely gave me the motivation to not let this pandemic stop me and create something. the short film had me feeling like i was looking at myself go through the same thing. I've decided to jump into the RU-vid game full on and not make anymore excuses
