Peter McKinnon I movie tips and tricks on iphone
Peter McKinnon 3d graphics infusion in portrait photography ✨
Hey Pete
I'm starting to vlog! See you at the power of video in Belfast 🙏
Motion VFX, I'd like to really improve on that.
Literally just had to stop my car to say not only thank you for this video, but thank you for everything that you do to make us all better creators.
I'm currently working a job that has kept me in a deep depression for more than 5 years, but I've been watching your channel for 2 years now, learning about photo and video. Not only did I just shoot my first wedding, but I've also started my own sneaker YT channel called Sole Vice and I'm happier than I've been in years. You gave me a light at the end of my tunnel and I can't thank you enough. I hope I get to thank you in person one day✌🏼
Cool man! Keep at it!
Stay blessed man! Keep your head up!
Keep pushing man, it’s inspiring to see you be able to have the courage to from where you were to where you are now.
amazing! I am happy for you.
one thing, you should not drive while watching TH-cam video's
Maybe you should stop the car before watching the videos...
Peter McKinnon: photographer, vlogger, and motivational speaker. And 100% dominating all three jobs 👌
right!?
Dont forget that he is a magician...
Coffee Barista
I feel like Peter is my mentor and I’m just here nodding to everything he says.
Exactly! Best professor ever
Dude inspires me too. Really genuine personality.
lol ikr
Amen sistah 🤗
“It’s a hole in the ground, filled with water. And we love it.”
The simplicity of this idea motivates me. Thanks Pete. 👊💯🔥🤛🎤
I dump everything set it on fire, burn all my bridges and move on to the next phase of my life. I felt that lol
Alisha Sparkle I'm SO guilty of that too haha
Megan Marie We know we’re worth more!!
Strong Scorpio vibes ♏️
saaaammmeee
This is exactly what I do! sorry, not sorry.
The TRUTH. This video is next level inspiring! Keep killing the game Peter (In your way)!
I started vlogging, and I fell in love with videocreating and editing, editing, editing. My vlogs are freaking stupid, but as long as I love it, and my mom keeps watching, I'll keep doing it!
Ha ha this way great 😂
Thank you 🤗
That’s why I subscribe. Not only for photography, but the person that loves it. YOU.
yesssss
I'm feeling so depressed, and I have a huge creative's block
But watching your channel totally changes my mood, thank you Peter.
@Saber Wasel same, I'm feeling better today even before this video but this weekend yesterday especially I needed to do a HARD reset and shut myself out from this world. Pete does his leather making thing + has a family, you just gotta find that thing/escape. Hope this helps.
so true.
i feel the same thing.
I was thinking about this today. I want to vlog, got microfone, camera, lens, trips coming up, but then I start feeling with a big lack of creativity..
then I watch Peter's video and I feel 100% again..
Saber Wasel me too lately! So glad people speak their truth. This motivated me for sure!
SAME!!
Wow, as someone who has been on TH-cam for over 8 years, has seen some huge highs and low lows, this video resonates with me like none other! Thank you for making this and for saying the things you said! 🙌 Often times I wish viewers understood this topic more, rather than always just demanding more and more from creators. Anyway, awesome vid!
This was powerful!
Thanks a lot. Yes, I took something out of this. "Never stop creating for yourself" and "just do what YOU love, and make videos about that"... that's something yes of course I know but when you listen long enough to people who 'know what they are talking about' it's always "be consistent, find your niche, do only one thing...." pfff I can't do that. So I basically stopped doing it... not good. So I guess I needed to hear this today. Again, thanks a million. I'll go and be ME and film simply that. Love, Maureen
👏🏻👏🏻🥳✨
Ohhh boy, I'm always in over my head 😂 I have the craziest film ideas but then I realise that I don't have Peter's skills ... (yet) 😂🔥
That is when you collaborate and grow I guess ?
You don't need Peter skill. You have LILA Skill!
@@GabrielDoesTypology aaaaaahhh omg you are too nice!! 😱❤
But am sure you’ve got Lila skills! 😊👍
@@FilmanSantiago hahaha is this becoming a thing now? Lila skills? I'm loving it!
This video is perfect timing. I definitely needed this. thank you, thank you, thank you.
@@allisonallison5969 What Allison told me Justin just said.
We need to start a petition to put this upcoming rock-doc on Netflix.
Peter I’ve been with you since day one. You have such a great energy and that is priceless. Thank you!!!
This year I have taken on the biggest project of my life, my passion, and my career. I am a ceramic artist and I make YT videos. I started this year ramping up my YT channel which was good but then had a bit of that "hit the wall" moment where I wasn't pushing myself creatively until I decided to finish my huge wood fired kiln project. Building that kiln kept me from creating videos for a few weeks but it really gave me time to think and decide what was important to me and what kind of videos I want to make based around my passion for creating works of art with clay. That time to think helped relieve me of that worry about what kind of videos people expect me to make vs what I want to make/talk about. Like you, I made a video about my thoughts and received a great number of messages encouraging me and thanking me for the thoughtful conversation. Anyway, thank you for expressing your sentiments on these issues! Its great to be able to look into your thoughts and heart for a bit. Cheers!!
Peter’s referring to Dragon Ball Z, fusion, and super saiyan level 3! Awesome:) ありがとう Arigato from Japan
"Domo Arigato!" You are spot on indeed!
This is why your channel is my favourite youtube channel because most of your videos have a message. Love you Peter!
“Just having the thought, you’re already in over your head.” Love that so much.
🙌🏻🥳
This guy's literally Captain Canada with his words. You are a true hero Sir Mckinnon!!
I started photography taking pictures of my kid for my family had a blast . I’ve been to Sony A7iii and back, using EOS R and having fun again with my kid in focus. 📸 👧
So, so good. Just as I was getting burnt out too... Thanks, Pete for the reality check. 👍
I can relate to this so much with painting. There was a time when I remember being so overly consumed and busy with my own job and when people asked about my work, I realized I hadn't even painted anything I was passionate about in months. I spent my time on the projects that would pay off better and got lost in thinking I needed more. Thank you for this video, so much genuine truth in it. As creators of all kinds... being truthful to your craft and finding the balance in doing what we love is crucial.
Yes mate. Preach it.
Your TH-cam videos inspired me at a sad time in my life. Now here I am making photography videos with 2k subs 🤷🏻♂️ and a career making videos
You and Matt d’Avella just talked about the same thing, you two are the reason I’m doing this :) I’d love to see you together!!!
That's would be awesome indeed!!
Daniel Däuber truly awesome indeed, let’s get em together!!
Ok it worked. Halfway through Matt's trailer i subscribed. But how do you plan to 'hook up' Matt and Peter? Are you gonna invite them to the same pool party, casually introduce them, then disappear to the punch bowl?
Shane Simonsen hahahaa I’m superglad it worked! :D I could invite them to a pool in Spain, otherwise I’m f*cked. But yeah, a little introduction+disappearing would be my aproach :)
Dude, you're just ... AWESOME! That ending, man!
Been following you since your early videos. You inspire the shit outta me.
Sending brotherly love!
I really like that you are “stepping outside of the box” and doing this documentary. It definitely keeps your channel very interesting, I’m all for it Peter!
DUDE I needed this. THANK YOU. I struggled to build my channel up and when I got to a decent sub count and viewers I got to caught up in numbers and making videos for other people. So I just stopped being consistent and stopped uploading...its. a bad feeling, I need to focus back on why I love it, focus on the cinematic vlogs I LIKE and will share with others. I feel so excited now. IM GONNA START BACK UP! I'm also going to start filming weddings and other gigs again!
👏🏻👏🏻🥳
Thanks Pete. I know it's a year later since you posted this. But I definitely needed it. I don't want to vlog. I want to make dope cinematic shots. And just because I want to put it out on TH-cam doesn't mean I need to make a vlog about it.
i love the bloopers at the end, such a good touch
honestly i just love you and your videos so much that i dont even care what they are or if they're even catering to my interests because that's not the only reason i watch them. i watch them and listen to them because YOU'RE interesting as a human being and have a certain charisma that just draws an audience, no matter what you're talking about
Dude, you’re so authentic. I’m so inspired. You are truly a person who creates. You have the creative mind and genius! Thank you for your honesty and creative risks! Would that we be half as bold as you! All the best!
Open mind, thinking out the box and willing to learn = progress
Thank you bro! I needed this video. Gosh, I'm still feeling blank, empty of ideas, empty of understanding what to do next... Lost job, lost enthusiasm lost hope. But damn man, you pumping me with this speech! Thank you.
This resonates so much with my work as someone who works with SEO. Looking up“nerdy” things that will evolve my skills and make the whole process so much more interesting, is crucial! Thank you Peter!!
Thank you for making this!!! I absolutely needed to hear this, it’s really easy with social media to become disheartened by the amount of likes you get or attention. It’s nice to know that I’m not alone in feeling like I need to keep creating for me, and that even people you look up to have a tough time with their craft.
The people who are brilliant in this world will question their reality. They will challenge darkness; the depth to these individuals is where the greatness lies.
Like you Pete :)
Beautiful
Cool films Tom
Awesome Films dude !! Great comment
Right on Tom
@@Jakepf cheers my man
Absolutely agree bud! Remembering what I want, instead of catering to the subscribers! Soooo true! appreciate the motivation bud!
The fact that you care shows! 💜 Congratulations for staying true to yourself and thank you so much for this video!!! ✌️
Thank you Peter. You are a genuine soul. Looking forward to seeing you on your new journey. Your passion and willingness to do what needs to be done rather than what's popular is refreshing. Here's to new passions
It's actually just like LOVE... why? Because when you love someone, you tend to give everything you have. And that signifies that Peter love us (subscribers). He give us all the knowledge he can give and he didn't even noticed... he doesn't actually do the things he teach us anymore. Just do what makes you happy. That is the most important thing. And yeah... you can't please anyone.
Thanks Peter. I'm going to do that.. I stopped creating for myself. Gotta do that and see where that creativity will take me.
One of the things I find most inspirational about Peter besides how authentic he is and his love of coffee, he always includes the personality and life stuff. I feel like their is so much pressure in social media to put forward the make the most professional and non-personality content, and that has always been super discouraging. So thank you, Peter, for being real and authentic and individual, and inspiring in the way that being authentically yourself as someone who makes youtube films that it's okay to not be clinical and not personal. I feel like I needed permission, in a way, to make videos as myself, if that makes sense. Thank you.
One of the best channels on TH-cam. Great blend of educational, entertaining, inspiring, and just generally well-crafted material.
I’m pretty excited to see your documentary! I loved Angles & Airwaves.
Watching Peter McKinnon Without Having Coffee Is Like Netflix Without The “Chill” 😬
SSAVAGEPICS frfr
honestly!
since I saw him driking coffee on the videos I feel this urge to go and grab one and then we are having coffee over his monologue, we are almost friends by now
Pretty sure he's had enough coffee before filming. 😳😃👍
Peter, only recently have I encountered your channel (last couple of months) and the one thing that I can say is consistent with your videos is your passion for what you do. Not only did it suck me in to subscribing and looking forward to the next one, I literally want to go out and shoot after watching. Thank you for what you do and for that fire you have.
Thank you for carrying so much❤️ It really shows and I appreciate your inspiration from the bottom of my heart. You have done a lot for me as a person and a photographer, and I think it’s sad that you probably don’t know how many life’s you’ve changed and inspired because of your content and creations. All I want to say is thank you Peter. Thank you for being you❤️
I can never unhear the way you say "about" now LOL, it's stuck with me for life
Same here 😂
I needed to hear this today. Thank you so much Peter.
Tell me about it. Always knows just what to say. lol
Thanks for this Peter! Really appreciate when you do these videos. They always seem to come along at the right time to help me refocus.
Boy can I relate. Fiber arts was my hobby, that turned into an indie dyer business. It was fun and interesting at first, creating new colorways, learning and trying new dye techniques. Then the demand grew and it became production, repeating the same stuff over and over. And, it took away all the time I had to do any fiber arts just because I wanted to. No time to spin, knit or weave, except to make samples for the business. Then we bought property to start a homestead, and I started YouTubing that, and that became my creative outlet. But I suck at it, lol, I have a lot to learn (which is what led me to you). I’m working on improving B Roll right now, for the homestead channel, but now I have all sorts of ideas for a fiber arts channel. Creative minds never stop, I think. And you are right, we have to make time/take time for our passions. I’ve reduced my biz schedule drastically for 2020 for exactly that reason. Thanks for sharing this, and all your videos. I’m learning a lot here.
I’m a wedding photographer and I can tooootally relate. Today I’m gonna try to create for FUN again and for ME!
👏🏻👏🏻🤗
this really sparked me to do more work. I have been kind of burnt out lately and this has helped me pick up again. Thank you so much
🤗
Peters photography tips and videos has helped our channel so much. We start from zero a month ago and now were at 43 and growing. Thankyou so much peter for al of your tips and inspiration
Man. This really hits home. Especially the part about catering to what videos people expect out of you. I've heard this a lot of times but it's only when you've articulated it in detail that it snapped to me.
Thanks for making these videos Peter. 🧡 Dropping some major knowledge bombs.
Just realized I have one of your coffee mugs at my house! my dad bought it... Glad to see you and AVA are working together... very excited!
I just started a podcast so that I have a creative outlet that has nothing to do with my day to day job. It's so refreshing to have something to be passionate about that doesn't require me to think about my normal work. Love it!
What's it called?
Maaike it’s called theme park center. It’s about the different parks in the orlando area. It’s a lot of fun, but most importantly, it’s fresh and different to all the other stuff I have to worry about every week.
@@JonHoltMusic sounds cool!
I absolutely needed this. For months I’ve been feeling uninspired and unenthusiastic to pick up my camera. I could feel it in my bones that I was loosing my love for photography because I wasn’t shooting anything that gave me feeling anymore. Ive recently found my way back, and here comes THIS video.
I needed this. Thank you.
Thanks Peter, appreciate the comments about doing things for you-learn and appreciate the journey. I’ve been starting a coaching business and been working a lot with video and photography to get better at capturing shots. I’ve been watching your stuff and love it!
You never fail to inspire me man... this is why I love your content! Keep doing you man! 👊🏼✌🏻
Dude I hear you... Very inspiring.
I love what your doing with AVA one of my favourite bands, can't wait to see the documentary
I am genuinely going to rewatch this video any time I'm uninspired. Just the passion and the laughs make you so relatable, Pete. Thanks, man. Those bloopers are also on point. haha
This is one of the few channels I still watch because the content always is well thought out and on point! Thanks Peter.
Thanks for the inspiration brother. I'm early in my journey buuuut I love it!
Man this is one of the best vids you ever released Peter. Love this real talk.
From the heart to the heart! Made me cry... in a aha way ✨
Was so missing this sit down videos for long time. Love the message. Create for yourself.
God bless you Peter, I am super grateful I found your channel. I was doing a Job for 2 years and I just got tired at a point, I figured out that I was never really happy doing it, I was just doing it because I had to. But now after years, I sat down and wondered what I loved, and then I realized it is Photography. Now I wanna start and chase it, my parents are kind of against it, they want me to keep doing the job that makes me unhappy till I get a bank Job or another Job that I am pretty sure will make me unhappy and depressed again.
I am 21 and I feel really stressed already, but I am going to be a photographer no matter what, I am going to do what I love and keep growing to love it. I don't have any equipment yet but I will keep watching this videos and taking notes till I get the necessary equipments and even after getting them. I will keep watching these videos you post and I will forever be grateful for finding your Channel and for these videos. God bless you once again.
Peter McKinnon I'm so inlove with you. Your humbleness. Your exceptional talent. Your love to your family. You are brilliant beyond your imagination. 😍❤️😎
I liked hearing him talk about his wife, too. 🥰
🙌🏻
Hey Peter, I like how your videos got learning, inspiring message, but at the same time you make me to laugh..Smash that project.
The big thing i love in you as a person is that you seem to want to be a friend who does this videos to talk to us, distant friends, as a way to keep the connection. You inspire us in many ways because you make us feel like you are in a park with us just chating... Great. Hard to explain in english, but it kind of this...
I've been going through a rough time lately, and I've kind of lost my way. I've gone back through and watched Peters videos again, and they've really revitalised me and reignited my love and passion for photography, as well as my drone work. I really do class Peter as my mentor, spiritually as well as workwise !
I've started and stopped making videos for that reason too. Got bored, felt like I wasn't adding or contributing anything.
Now, it's just about making videos Id want to watch and learn about 😁
I have uploaded videos for TH-cam for almost three years now. Not much subs but I've gained knowledge by brushing up on my English 😜 and I will continue as long as I have things to learn
Same feeling that I've had when visiting Uluru in Australia. There were like 40-50 different nationalities photographing basically just a rock at sunset.
This was every inspirational heart to heart from Mr.McKinnon! and the bloopers always fantastically funny and up bringing!
Dude, you give so much inspiration to move forwards and push my limits! thank you! :)
Well put 🎉
Thanx for this, i needed it tonight! I'm on the verge of starting my own channel and making documentaries about artists and the comic book industry! Thanx Pete! Keep up the awesome work!
👏🏻👏🏻🎉
Can I just say how amazing this footage is now that I switched it over to 4k, which I had no idea was even possible. Anyone who hasn't should definitely try it. The way that PMs videos were meant to be watched. Big thumbs up for PM.
But I was only able to do it for a third of the video otherwise it would have taken me five hours to finish ha
For what it is worth, I received so much from this video! I am not here as a videographer, or as a photographer, but someone who just loves creating and has a passion to inspire women to embody their truth. What I got from your video is that, no matter your passion in life, keep growing, learning, trying new things, and pushing your limits because that is what keeps things interesting. Video's for me is one of the ways I push myself outside my comfort zone, so thank you for the inspiration! Keep creating Peter, it's magic.
Off to make a film that challenges me and will have it up this week thanks Pete 🤪🤙🏻🇨🇦🇬🇧🎥🤙🏻it was a powerful ending ... what was delivered !
Thanks for your authentic message man. I guess many new creators like me may struggle to make it happen since we have to please ourself while reaching our audience. So remember guys : 11:46 and 12:39 to don't have any regret !
Right on! Reaching my one year mark as a full-time artist. Loving what I do, but this is truly what I've been feeling within the recent months. Always love your content, tutorials, reviews, and especially these creative insights. Thank you for this Peter
Best video you've made yet, keep on doing you Pete. Whether its vlogs, tutorials or podcast, we watch your videos because you're a cool inspiring dude so make sure you only create and upload what makes you happy.
You are Dr.Jeckyll and Mr. Hide of photography....go on ...shock us ...amaze us....love it...!!! ❤️
First(mabye), hey Pete I just love your content and it’s been helping me out a ton thanks man
Excellent advice Pete. I'm a sound designer and for a long time I was burdened with "freelancer guilt". I was saying yes to every job offer because I felt like I had to, because its such a privilege to make a living from your passion. Then somebody told me, if you say yes to every job offer - then you're not choosing your portfolio, someone else is! This really helped me to understand what you're saying about creating for yourself - which has really helped me to find my style/voice etc.
i'm trying to create as much as i can with the little time i have. thank you peter you are truly an inspiration!
okay, so I just had to pause in the middle of the vid and say that I appreciate your reference to dragon ball z & that we should all aspire to be super saiyan 3 level at our craft
Pete has spoken on these dragon ball Z references before. He said something like: "I'm going to use those references in one of MY videos once". And here they are!
@@TjotjoBot I didn't know he said that, thanks :)
2:09 Has no one realized how this man's wife is an absolute real one for recognizing what he needed while working that job? Keeping the right people around you is highly underrated and understated
Jip, wish some other people would also get that...
I know this isn’t a new video and I’ve seen it before but I like to rewatch some of your videos in the gym or when I can find time. This was super motivating and I really needed to hear it today so thank you! 🤙🏼
Thank you for this Peter, you’re an amazing and talented person. Appreciate the hard work you do in teaching us
Are you bored yet? The answer is a resounding "NOOOO...." with that Barry White voice! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Have always been a filmmaker.
But I’m into fitness too.
Im new to the states so my English is not perfect.
Thinking about doing vlogs about all the crazy stuff I do on daily basis.
Yes or nah? What do you think?
Go for it, it'll improve your English too
Yusuf Gökçe oh yeah. That’s true too.
I just shot my first Vlog. It’s about filmmaking and fitness. Haven’t edited it yet but it was fun. A great new experience
Yes! That is exactly what I want to do now, starting from this year - make more things that I love - change my life a little bit. It's hard sometimes to find time and energy but I'm so happy that there are people like you somewhere in the world! Thanks for sharing this thought!!
Pete your are a real dude that inspires millions of people. Keep being 100% real and enjoying life!
It's high level inspiration ..
Words from your hart , it seems very good content 👏❤
The best part of this video is him playing rock paper scissors with himself. 😂pure gold
I’ve thrown myself into the deep end this year with TH-cam 👍🏽😂 after four months, I still have zero idea what I’m doing, but I’ve learned so much and met so many incredible people along the way! 🙌🏼
Really feel you Peter!! Doing things that really turns us on is the point of being alive!!! Thanks for the reminder!!
