amazing! congratulations. looking forward for more videos! would be great if you can post the Planning process for your youtube!

Beautiful! which FD did you use? any speedboster?

It really did change. You bloomed.

Sounds Awesome, you got this!!! I'm approaching this year with similar goals 👍

ich find das lustig, du hast selber nicht film studiert, möchtest aber andere unterrichten darüber. "zeig mir dases dir nur ums geld geht ohne mir zu sagen, dass es dir nur ums geld geht"

Love to see you again Aya ... and we all need this mindset! Definitely need to take on more projects that I WANT to shoot not what just lands in the inbox. Be cool to hear how you do out reach and pitching in more depth :)

Can't wait for more from ya this year Aya! Love the confidence to put this out here as accountability too fr, all the best!!🙂

Oh, I'm excited. More Content, nice! I'm starting on TH-cam this year too. Greets from germany

Love this mindset. I really enjoy your approach to creating more meaningful work and valuing your time.

Hey Aya! First off, huge congratulations on your second year on TH-cam! 🥰Thank you for sharing your honest thoughts; I really resonate with so much of what you said. A lot of it reflects where I’m at right now, too. I think it’s amazing that you’re planning to focus more on TH-cam and building your personal brand this year - funny enough, that’s exactly the direction I’m heading in as well. TH-cam is such a powerful platform to express yourself creatively and I guess long-form content feels so much more meaningful. This year, I’ve made a similar decision: I want to spend more time both creating and consuming content on TH-cam, instead of endlessly scrolling on other platforms. There’s just something about the depth and authenticity here that makes it stand out. I can’t wait to see what you’ll create and how you’ll grow your personal brand. I’m sure it’s going to be incredible! And best of luck with your online academy Herfilmschool. I love the idea of empowering more women in the industry. The world definitely needs more female voices in filmmaking. 😊

Good Luck Aya! I've made 2025 the same for me, concentrating on TH-cam and personal branding and definitely know how you feel...

Well done, Aya!

Mind crediting the author and book you're quoting at the opening of your video? Love the info you offer here but I was disappointed to find not even a mention of this author in the text credits.

loved this video! subscribed! it was so helpfull and def loved the first part and the way you weaved in the footage of you directing! Which was the book you were mentioning at first?

In October 2024 I brought a brand new Komodo 6k for $3500 hundred bucs. Considering the camera retail cost is $4,995, I had to buy it.

GREAT VIDEO 🔥

Does it get annoying having to wait for it to heat up to the optimal temp and having to black shade the sensor?

It's just semantics. Saying that no one produces anything "original" is a fallacy. Your idea may be similar or identical to someone else's idea, but carrying it out by yourself is already producing something original, because you and your perspective are unique.

This video made me a subscriber.

Hey that was nicely done. Simple and clear with lots of helpful insights. And your mellow vibe was a welcome change from all those people who feel the need to shout their reviews into the camera. Peace out!

Hey, thx for this video. What is this book you are talking about at the beginning of the video ? many thks

Love it, such a nice video and love your personality. BTW great setup

Hi Aya, thanks for the vid, great pieces of advice. I love your camera work, too. !! Watch out, I think you got 2 dead pixels on the camera you used for the recordings, it´s close to the right of your face. I find the composition of your talking head has a slight shift to the left bottom of the frame, cause it´s pretty empty and white on this side. When it´s sunny I find the overexposed window not very appealing neither. Have a grat week. Yeah and I also wanna know if you use pro mist 1/8 or 1/4 for your shoots...

Setup is cool, but the blown out window is not.

Thank you so much for your videos Aya, really inspiring, love your vulnerability and authenticity! I've been thinking about doing videos like this for a wile and i will start after seeing your videos

Thank you for this 🙏

Great insights! BTW, just a relatively trivial question: which lens filter do you have for your talking shot? I like the tight halation. it's pretty.

2:11 this language needs to be studied...

Loved the video! 🤗 It was packed with insights and value-I’ve hit the follow button! 🚀 I especially enjoyed your breakdown of the storytelling aspect. So many filmmakers focus solely on visuals (and there are already a million videos about that), but this? This is the real gold. It’s the missing piece most creators don’t talk about. Quick question, if you don’t mind sharing: Are you using any filters on your lenses for the talking head section? The visuals look stunning, and the lighting is beautifully diffused. I’d love to know if a specific filter or setup is making it look so great! 😊

So much value once again! Keep going ❤

Здравейте! Видеото ви е невероятно вдъхновяващо! Като аматьор видеограф имам няколко въпроса и ще се радвам, ако можете да споделите вашия опит. Как започнахте да се занимавате с видеография? С каква техника започнахте и как постепенно изградихте и развихте уменията си? Също така, как успявате да намирате клиенти и да организирате международните снимки, които показвате във видеото? Благодаря предварително за отговора! 😊

like your channel

Was really hoping for my example footage , as that’s what we’re here for

Hi Aya, great video! I was wondering how long this battery setup lasts. Do you have any information on that?

Just for reference. A non-global shutter sensor will capture the image data from the sensor top to bottom, and depending on the readout speed of the sensor, this will cause the skewed ‘jello’ effect, as the image has essentially shifted before the camera has finished capturing the whole frame. Global just captures the whole frame simultaneously. I love global, it’s hard to go back to rolling.

Great tips!

Благодаря ти!

I totally relate with this video. And yes, I don`t fall into this new gear desperate consuming. I`m still using my DSLRs, Canon 6D Mark I, and fortunately upscaling to 4K or 8K on the program, if needed. I am much more focused in mastering my cameras and on learning to create great content and great films with what I already have, instead of worrying about how many Ks or outo focus my cameras have.

Чудесно!

Здрасти Айче, случайно ми попадна това видео, но от друга страна не е толкова случайно защото търся подобно съдържание. Аз от известно време се запалих по видеото и се опитвам да да уча от ютуб. Със сигурност най-добре е да намеря нещо структурирано някъде. Бих се радвал ако ме посъветваш нещо по темата. Поздрави за хубавото видео и ще те следя за още съдържание.

Hey Aya. I am Olavo Santiago and I am writing from Portugal. Congrats for you courage and for putting yourself out there Aya. I just found your channel and I am watching your videos, from the beginning, and its pretty clear that you were made for this and you will be very successful. Plus, your courage in putting yourself out there is motivating me to start talking more about the content I make. Keep the good work. Best regards

High quality tutorial / experience sharing / tipp content. Very rare on TH-cam. Thank you!

this is great!

point no.2 occurs to me..when we already set up a good storyline with a smooth clips and flows, and they just want to add this and add that. makes me a bit annoying.we know they are they ones who's paying us, but for me whats the point they hire us and we cant do our best job

Looks really nice

This is powerful! Unreal visuals matched with a beautiful story of these two lovers! Also makes me miss Gran Canaria :O

Always valuable insight Aya :) Lesson 4 hits home haha always wanting to include EVERYTHING that looks good.

Nice

I'm interested in how you organize and pull in from you BTS database. Are you using "dynamic project switching?? Great videos btw.

remembering to strike the right balance between lesson 3 & 4 is painfully hard
