Thanks Adam! Honestly even 61 people subscribing is an honour :) Just got started about a month ago, so haven’t got the push from TH-cam to a bigger audience just yet!
Hey Andrew, great video! I'm also a filmmaker and just getting started. Do you have any advice on how to connect with like-minded people? I feel like valuable connections only come as you grow on social media. Thus I struggle to find skilled filmmakers who are up to creating.
Thanks Nicolas. I took a look at the video on your page from 2020, there's some good stuff in there! I'm going to throw a lot of thoughts your way. Learning from others is super valuable, and collaboration does sharpen you -- but my hunch is that you need to put yourself out there, and produce/release at your current skill level first. Use each video you create to learn what needs to improve. Obsess over getting slightly better each video. People will eventually notice, and connections will form organically (even on social media.) Don't fixate on growth of followers, fixate on growth of your craft. I found that I wasn't doing this myself because I was a bit ashamed that I wasn't further along in my ability to create (look up The Gap by Ira Glass), but now that I'm putting more out there -- I'm learning at an incredible speed, and improving my skills faster than I ever have. The other thing to think about (that really helped me) is: 'How can I serve others' more than 'How can others serve me?' You'll find more opportunities to collaborate come through this posture. You'd also benefit from connecting and collaborating with people who are less skilled than you. Create small scope projects that are easy to execute (so that you can do more of them, and not get overwhelmed before they see the light of day.) I'm sure you also have non-filmmaking friends who'd love to be filmed for a small spec project you put together (think things that can be filmed in half a day or a day). The cost of this is just your/their time. You may already be doing all this! And if so, keep going and trust the process. As you develop yourself and learn how to generate value in the world, opportunities will come. I wish you the best in your journey!
@@andrewjohnipe Thanks a lot for putting that much effort into this message. I've grown a lot over the past years and my quality has improved massively. I will continue to learn and start to share content. That's new for me but I know it's necessary. Right now I'm overcompensating a little because I haven't been doing this the past years. I was looking for short cuts and people to connect with but as you say, it will come organically. Thanks a lot Andrew
Hey Andrew , really nice video ! I was wondering if I could help you with more Quality Editing in your videos and also make a highly engaging Thumbnail and also help you with the overall youtube strategy and growth ! Pls let me know what do you think ?

How do you only have 61 viewers but your video quality is top notch professional? Better than most I’ve seen, it’s cinematic.

such a great video! i really loved that intro too! 🙌🏽🔥
Man, so appreciate you taking the time to comment and encourage :)
This is an apsolutly amazing video. Best wishes for the feature man.
Thanks Caleb! Appreciate you.
Andrew I hope more people watch your videos
That's very kind of you to say, Dhruv!
calling it right now that you are going to be BIG, amazing video!
Very kind of you! Thanks for taking the time to encourage :)
Imperfect singular focus >> casting a wide net to catch the perfect idea
Love that perspective!
2:25 found the only BMW in the world that has turn signals
LOL probably being driven by a valet temporarily
Very professional video, I wonder why you're not already famous. Keep up the good work it will happen for sure.
Thanks William! Very kind of you to say :)
Nice video, surprised to see you’re just starting. Will do great!
Very kind of you to say!
There’s lots to learn about putting out good content - and I’m grateful for the opportunity :)
I feel the same way. The title and thumbnail really stood out, and the editing was great!
You guys warm my heart. Appreciate the feedback :)
Thank you, it really made me think about what I enjoy and how if I don't attempt it I will always be wondering, what if?
People talk about regretting things they didn't do, more than things they did.
Glad you're looking at things through that lens :)
"bootstrapping" part's music was a lil too off like it was distracting (maybe i can help you with it). BUT amazing video quality loved it.
Appreciate the feedback! We’re not looking for additional help right now, thanks!
