❤️🖤
love you and Gawx
Love this! After watching, I went back to the beginning and paused on the picture of little Andrew riding past our Astro van with a big smile on his face. Love you son!
Thanks dad ❤️
Stopped my finals prep to watch this
😅😅
Your channel is a mirror to every artistic person’s mind. All the struggles, and accomplishments. Alls the thoughts and goals we have are perfectly expressed through your cinematic journey and in here for all of it. ❤
Love this Andrew
Thank you Alex means a lot
I totally agree with you. Feeling the same at the moment. I miss my old TH-cam days from the beginning, where I focused more on the doing instead of the outcome. Unfortunately it kinda switched, the more subscribers I got. Hope to find my path again. Thank you for you honesty and this video ❤
Man, this is so great. So great, but I think what you did was also great because no you have like numbers, a built community and people who are looking forward to your content and now you can try to find your voice again or make more out of your own voice, more about you. I think that's great too. One of my favourite video was still the one where you just filmed your everyday life, helping your friends out with their project and I think you're just doing great stuff. Never stop, man. #20percent
Damn bro, super honestly vibe with the vunerability here like you said.
I can't lie I did end up sending negative vibes/stories to you "copying" and I'm sorry, realised I was just projecting my struggles, and hearing you had the same really made me realise.
Thank you Andrew, keep creating and killing it.
Thanks for sharing Paola. All good man, it’s crazy the creative journey is on display for everyone - makes the mistakes a little harder to admit - but when it’s the necessary step fwd you gotta embrace it, thanks for being a part of the journey brother 💪🏽
Thank you for making this and talking about it, finding yourself, getting to know yourself and doing it your way is the hardest and most fulfilling work. I am doing it, you are doing it and Gaux is doing it!🙏
This is great honesty and reflection. I went through something similar. I think it's good to move away from emulating gawx. You do a great job with your videos, but to your point, there can only be one gawx, and there can only be one Andrew.
I've been following you since you got 3000 subscribers and it's so amazing to see how far you've come. As someone who makes videos myself, you're such a huge inspiration. Keep going Andrew!
Needed to hear this today honestly. There's nothing wrong with growing your audience - those numbers can open doors and let you reach more people who need to hear what you have to say. But this really nails that tricky balance. The second those views start hitting, it's so easy to slowly morph into whatever gets the algorithm going, and you don't even realize you're losing your actual voice along the way. Appreciate the reminder Andrew!
Hey Andrew, in the pursuit of finding our own voice, along the way we seek inspiration. Casey & Gawx offered you that and now you have a clear and distinctive voice as a creator of meaningful films. And the best thing is that you will continue to evolve your work and your voice will become even more distinctive. Great work, brother ✌️
This video didn’t feel like a downer to me-it felt authentic and real. I really appreciate you sharing this and your thoughts. As someone with a very small and new channel, I often struggle with finding purpose and questioning why I’m making these videos. But deep down, I know I want to give a voice to those who can’t or are unable to. I hope to step into my voice and find the courage to show more vulnerability and authenticity in my work. Thank you for the inspiration-it means a lot.
I was fighting with this idea of taking the shortcuts, caring what will people think or am i good enough for this that people will appreciate my work. Watching your video feels like a giant hug and it came at the moment I needed to hear it the most. Thank you Andrew.
Love this Andrew! You’ve come a long way. Always so proud, thanks for inspiring me
You made me feel a certain way. Keep being yourself, I love seeing your creative world
Needed to hear this. Thank you. Congrats on 100k+!
congrats on the 100k - highly deserved 👊👊👊 your videos have been a huge source of inspiration for me to change and make content in 2025 that I WANT to create. Happy Holidays
Thank you 🙌

YOU AND Gawx are inspirations, well deserved man and great lesson. Still trying to find my voice!
Hello! I just wanted to let you know that... I have listened your videos, not watched. I listened to you while doing my sketching exercises. Your voice and words are what pulled me in. So, I'm happy that you have decided to focus more on that because you are absolutely great at voicing your thoughts and you are also very relatable!!
Congratulations on hitting this milestone, and also finding your voice again!
Came at just the right time. Thank you
I like the overall video but the ending where you tell the making of the video that inspire more than any other part of the video
Glad you're finding yourself again. Gawx's videos are incredible but I totally agree with the statement that we don't need another Gawx. I subscribed for your unique voice and perspective.
Your vids always encourage me to keep going after the dreams--even bigger the "meaningful pursuit/s" in my life.. appreciate you man!
This is so friggin good! Beautiful, raw, completely you. You talking about losing your voice and catering to the algorithm reminds me of a Rick Rubin quote: “In terms of priority, inspiration comes first. You come next. The audience comes last.”
I love this quote
needed this. dont think this video couldve came at a better time. thank you.
100K is only the beginning 9f the chase. I'm heading towards 200K but spend my whole 30s and more than 150 videos to chase 100k. And experienced that the hill gets only steeper. There is no top, no goal, no end to reach. You just more likely to loose yourself.
"Don't forfeit who you are to fit the mold of whats working." I just want to say that you have been such an inspiration man and I can't wait to see more of your success. Great stuff bro.
I struggle with this too! I love how honest and transparent you are. #20PER
you're a big inspiration for me, honestly thank you for sharing your journey with us 🙏🏼
hey andrew, thank you for this. I actually love the words in the screen in the beginning and this whole style. and I agree 100%. Here is why I stopped using youtube analytics: I put my first video out of a new series and a lot of people watched it and I kind of went to youtube studio all the time to check analytics. so many subscribers and I felt such a joy. and then with every subsequent video, I didnt gain subscribers but lost them. and at first that really disapointed me. I thought, maybe I did something right in the first video that I didnt do anymore? but that's not it, it think. Instead, maybe its normal that if you start on a journey with 2000 people at every turn some people realize: this is not the kind of journey I am interested. I mean this accounts for me because I do renovation videos, so totally different from what you do. but what I realized is that in the end, it counts that there are people out there who enjoy watching what I do. and so I actually DO NOT LOOK AT THE NUMBERS anymore. just the comments. and that has made it soooo much more enjoyable to make videos. Oh and by the way: I learn from watching your videos so much. I am not a visual person at all and so it is so cool to see what you can do with visuals. so a big thank you to you!
Gaux is a great inspiration for cinematography and visuals, but your message and motivation make you my favorite creator. Absolutely loved and resonated with this message. I always look forward to your videos, keep it up!
Thank you for this video. I think it's brave to acknowledge that chasing a dream isn't always what we expect it to be or straight forward. I chased a dream, reached it and it wasn't all that I thought it would be. I lost my voice back then. Now, starting over in a completely new and different direction. Being creative, something I never allowed myself to be. Better late than never, I guess. I'm hoping to reach te same milestones you are reaching here on TH-cam and this is a great reminder for me to stay true to who I am. Congrats with your great succes and keep inspiring creatives and creators (like myself).
I love this, every second of it. Thank you for being so raw and vulnerable. I really needed to hear this, can’t wait to see what more you have to offer ❤
Definitely the video I needed on my journey making videos on TH-cam, appreciate the message and honesty🙏🏾
now 130k, go for it man!
Andrew! You are such an inspiration to me! Your powerful words and crazy cinematic work, REALLY makes me want to create something like that of my own too! Thank you for being real and honest with us! Thank you for being, You! ❤️
Yes , I subscribed to you and not another Casey, or Gawx. Love your channel bro and thanks for your raw honesty!
Thank you for this video ❤
thanks so much for your sharing 🙏🏻
Thank you for sharing this with the world. This is word for word what I was thinking and even picked up a book yesterday called: 'Put your dreams to test'. Sometimes we need reminding to be present, to be real and I am glad you are also narrating the low parts because that is the reality a lot of might be going through and that connects more than the sugar coating we are so used to on social media (I love that content too but I have my days). I also starting doing TH-cam more seriously and I am very close to 1K now❤
You're an inspiration to me Andrew, and thanks for reminding me today to just be myself, and the fact that nothing will ever be enough,, Thanks bro.
not that nothing will ever be enough - but that you just gotta chose to be content in any situation , weather you've achieved your dreams or not - youre still you and that makes whatever it is you're doing important -
the problem is when you think that the end goal will solve all your problems and then when you arrive, you feel you need more -
hope that makes sense :)
@@AndrewPaul1 yh,thanks
Congratulations!!! This is so amazing, we are so proud of you! I’m excited to see what finding your voice again looks like, and how it translates on video. I also really love slower videos 🤍
I too watched it till the end, I love your work!
Dammmn Andrew, you are SUCH a big inspiration, what a great storytelling -I can only hope I will get there one day! And I'm so happy to hear that you will focus more on your own voice again. I'm sure your work will be the BEST! YOU inspired me more than any creator to finally start. I told you that many times but it's true! And it's all because of your honesty and authenticity. Can't wait for everything to come and thanks (again) for making me start my own youtube journey. I'll try to stick to my voice :)) much love!
This is incredible Andrew! Congratulations 🎉 I can't wait to see what you create in the future!
More videos like this Andrew! You're also so inspiring dude! A big hug from Barcelona!
His filmmaker side shines
20% Congrats on the achievement 🎉
Well deserved 👍
Those first few seconds honestly gave me goosebumps
7:42 deep. Appreciate you man
20% 😊 thanks for your inspiring work and striving to remain true to you!
your videos have inspired me so much to go after my dreams,thank you for that. congratulations,keep going!!🙏
This. Is. Phenomenal.
Thanks for sharing dude 😊
Incredible. Thank you for being you and making videos to remind us to be ourselves.
This was the video i needed. I feel the same way about Casey being my inspo. I don't want to be another him, I want to show who I am! Can't wait to see where this weekly video drop will look like for me starting in 2025. Looking forward to your next video!
Amo totalmente este video. Me volaste la cabeza con las visuales, gracias por tu sinceridad y por inspirar.
haven't even clicked on this video and I already know it gonna be amazing.
How are you commenting if you haven’t clicked on the video 🤔
But thank you 😂🖤
@@AndrewPaul1 HAHA you got me there 🤣
@@AndrewPaul1 no problem bro, I just finished it. and all what you said couldn't have been more true bro, and your honesty elevates that. this couldn't be better timing for me since im currently trying to lock in on my youtube channel and honestly felt the same way you did. well not the same way but more in a sense, working with what I have and the need of having a $3,000 cinema camera to make good content. I over thought this for a while until I decided to get off my butt and save up for a phone and here we are.
I have a phone, tripod, and mic. everything to make videos that I've been dreaming to do for like 2 years. but its more the feeling after you get all this stuff that you've been dreaming of. your kinda just sitting there lost like you said. imo the only thing to do is just to move foward. less dreaming and more doing and follow your heart ( easier said than done lol ). Amazing content bro keep going! ❤
Love
one of ur best videos man, loved this one!! grade is insane too, might have to cop your powergrade when i buy my camera 👀👀
Congrats on 131K you deserve it and more!🖤
Congrats, well deserved! As matter of fact I have noticed the change in your style and I knew what was going on, and I didn’t like it. Now I’m very happy to know that we got you back, Authentic, original, and inspiring. Best of luck with the rest of your journey!
Every second of this video meticulously crafted to perfection.
Great video and message bro keep it up!
One of the reasons I started this cinematography journey is because of your videos Andrew. I'm still learning with me luck.
always inspired ppl, love it sm!❤
I love your videos so much, you are a true inspiration Andrew!
💟"TOP MAN" Thank you for keeping true to you, we actually like it.
Such an inspiration!!
Love the self reflection and how you give credit to those who inspire you. Didn’t feel like a downer for me…appreciate the authenticity more! Keep going 🙂
Thank you, it means a lot to hear that.
Well deserved! Thank you for staying true to your vision, despite the temptations to shift your efforts 👏👏👏
Wow congrats! ...and I just wanted to let you know that you´re my GAWX.
Amazing man, love all your videos. That's for reminding my that I have to make something new and not just copy other people.
Such a big inspiration!
As a fellow Andrew, keep up the honest beautiful work, Andrew!
We can clearly see your art is getting better each video
I feel this so much
You have been a huge inspiration to me. I am creating and deliberately going slow. I’ve been told a few times I could get more subscribers if I do x or y, and I’ve taken time to ask myself if I want to. It’s hard. The creators I admire all say that there is freedom to play when small so I’m doing that. I love words too! Thanks for sharing yours. One last thing, I don’t have a pitchy line to describe my channel yet … I just put ‘ fully self expressed?’!😊
Dude, the mere existence of your videos makes me want to quit my career in teaching and becoming a videographer. Greetings from Spain! 😜
This is dream, every shot looks like a thumbnail ❤❤ congrats for creating a masterpiece
Love you brother
very happy for you. Love your videos😍 20% Fam🤘
basically i watch youtube while eating, but your videos make me feel guilty when i mix them with smth else (in a good way)
Really inspired by this story and all the content you put out. It’s powerful to be true to yourself and understand that we all struggle with Doubt on the way to and beyond our dreams. Thank you for sharing Andrew 🤙❤️
Your videos man!!!
I really enjoyed this one! Congratulations on the 100K. I got to know my voice through writing for theater, but I hasn’t translated to this stuff. I get views, but very few subscribers or comments even. Honestly, I’m stopped. There’s also alot of other confronting stuff going on in my life and I’m very overwhelmed. It’s very difficult because I felt like my theater material was relatable at the time, but I don’t feel like I’m getting through at all. Hard to feel interested or engaged.
This is beautiful ❤️
Best one yet!!! 💛✨
loved the vídeo, and actually thr same thing happens to me, I stoped doing videos for a couple of years, and by watching gawx content I wanted to prove myself I was able to do such vídeos, and I learned a lot doing that, but now I kinda feel like an impostor even tho Iove the videos I am making. Thanks for sharing because I really resonate with that
What a ____ video.
I can’t find a word for it, the emotions it gives me are too complicated for me to articulate.
Bravo 👏
I really love this one ❤️❤️
Best advice … keep your voice!
Killed this one man
Growing up not only in terms of followers, but also in terms of storytelling and cinematography❤
The Brutalist homage at 2:07? Very nice
Love it ❤
real talk andrew 🫡
