OMG, so I'm not the only one who does multiple takes in rapid succession! I swear, I burn through 50GB of raw data for a single 10 minute video because of how many take I repeat! Excellent work as always Nick!
I feel 50gb is pro numbers 😂😂 cuz i just created almost 78gb of raw data and started having serious questions if I'm doing things the right way that I had to Google search it. Now that I see I'm not the only one I'm kinda relieved 😂
This video is pure gold. New content creators think it must all be perfect. THIS shows how you just need to record it until you get it right, then edit your way to perfect!
We are all human. Seeing Nick doing his takes multiple times is just the encouragement I need to keep going. 🙏🏽. Thanks Nick... I wanna wish YOUUU( in nick’s voice ) a happy weekend 😀
This video is EXACTLY what I needed!! I know I'm echoing everyone in the comments when I say this, but thank you SO MUCH for uploading this. It is perfect in its imperfections, and I'm glad to know I'm not alone. In those moments when I'm rewriting my script for the 5th time, filming take 10, or making thumbnail version 30 (all accurate numbers)... I'll remember that all the best TH-camrs do it too! Heck, I'm even drafting this comment in my Notes app because I want to properly convey how much this content means to new creators like myself who are obsessed with improving, growing, and providing value to others! Once again, thank you Nick!!
Thanks, I’m glad you enjoyed it. Taking the extra efforts you’re taking shows your commitment. Most people won’t make more than one thumbnail, you’re light years ahead of most creators in that sense.
Nick you have no idea how many people are being encouraged by this video. Thanks for showing new content creators like us that it’s normal to have multiple takes. Loving this video and I’m barely into 5 minutes of it
This is humbling. I feel like I'm the only one repeating easy words lol. I tend to fall back on just narrating because of the amount of footage to edit.. I guess it's part of the game
Yes! As a small content creator, I get discouraged by the low numbers. And I’m always looking for new things to learn and change in my channel. Thank you for sharing this!
In the future, I hope to help you grow! I have a new channel coming out soon I hope, all I can pray is that it helps everyone. And I agree, Nick rocks! 🤘 - Kevin Venture 🤘
Dude, sincerely, this was so helpful! So often I feel like I'm a lousy Creator because I have to say things over and over again and then piece them together for it to come off the way I want, knowing that that's actually relatively normal, you have no idea how encouraging that is for a person like me! You rock my friend! Thanks again for being willing to be vulnerable and transparent!
What I enjoyed most about this video is that it was Raw, and shows that we can take multiple clips and piece them together to make the perfect video. Always thought we had to get the perfect video in one take. Now I understand, piece the good clips together and make sure they are smooth for you and the listener and person watching the videos. This made me understand that trying to record the video in one shot, break the video in pieces and put them together! Thanks Nick!
What a video, as a result of you being you and showing yourself I have turned from being a follower to an advocate of your channel. It is incredible how we all go through a process and think that it is just us going through it. Amazing share, please don't underestimate the difference a video like this makes - thank you
This was unexpected REALLY fun to watch. It’s exciting seeing that veteran TH-camrs aren’t perfect and multiple takes is normal. I’d love to see your process on editing out all the garbage takes. That takes me hours!!
Oh my goodness, this has made me feel so much better about how often I have to repeat myself when recording videos! Love that it doesn’t throw you off and you just get straight back into it full energy - that’s my current goal with recording videos! I get so frustrated with myself! Also agree with other comments that this ‘fly on the wall’ style is really fun to watch!
Oh, my word! It's nice to see I'm not alone in how many takes I do for a single video intro, lol. I just finished a conversation with my wife about how frustrated I've been/burned out I feel with making videos for my channel. Your raw video is what I needed to be encouraged again! Thanks, Nick.
Good to see that even established creators like yourself do plenty of multiple takes, to get the perfect one. Keeps it real!! Thanks for sharing your process.
Love the honesty in this video. I have stumbled over my words so many times. Appreciate just how much effort it takes to plan, record and then edit a video. Still learning more on segue ways too. Awesome work Nick.
I really glad u showed that it takes time and patience to record. And many times there are many takes involved. I'm trying to do 'vlog'o-ween' so I'm recording a lot this month. Last night it took me about 8 times re-recording the intro. And thats not getting it 'perfect' thats just making it comprehensive. Real life.
Thanks for showing your recording process! It really shows how much work is involved when it comes to recording and producing a video. I've actually started recording in a similar way (minus the webcam or facecam for the time being). I will record in parts, and I have a ton of outtakes! Yet, that's the beauty of the recording process. It's never perfect on the first take. Also, silencing the phone is definitely a must as you've mentioned. Great, helpful video as always!
What made this even more interesting was having already watched the community tab video. Every new TH-camr and most of the rest should watch and learn.
This is so helpful. It takes me many takes to record my videos and I thought it was just me. Such a relief to see that successful creators also struggle too.
Seeing you record and say "no" and stop and start again is so refreshing! I have 59 subscribers and it's nice to see a big creator that does a similar process to me! Thank you Nick!!!
This has honestly been the most useful video for me as a new content creator. I struggle with my words so much and I feel so much more confident knowing I’m not the only one. Thank you so much. This has been very impactful and I’m glad I recently subscribed to your channel. Again thank you, this helps me tremendously
I really appreciate this. It is easy to assume that continuing to take loads of takes is a sign that we are just not cut out for this, or that we are doing it wrong or that the goal is to be able to do it almost fluently. Seeing someone like yourself who has an enormous number of videos and livestreams behind you still doing the same things we are doing with repeated false starts and going again and again to get it right (as well as your tips for keeping organised and efficient with multiple takes) is really reassuring. It's the process required to get a good result, not evidence of not being good enough. It's tough when you compare all your own miss takes with everyone else's final edits!
So reassuring Nick! I've made so many videos and sometimes get frustrated figuring I should have it down by now, you made me realize, this is totally normal! 😊👍
this is briliant , i need to ask my people more things in the community feed and get them more involved in the channel and see just what they want , great video nick
Man, this video was so inspiring for me to watch… I really thought i was a bad content creator for repeating myself all the time while recording… this really calmed my heart and mind.
Man, I'm about to start with content creation and REALLY dread the whole thing. I tried like a few takes, and gave up because it felt so off. Watching this video helped me change my mindset about the process and just hammer through, try different take right away, brute forcing it like you do. I instantly felt more free to explore, rather than stifled because a take is not perfect or I felt weird. Thank you SO much for posting this.
Watching Nick do this is such an eye opener and reassuring on so many levels... I'm blown away by the rawness of this video. As an amateur content creator, turning on my camera can be so intimating and keeping on with words n speaking with clarity can be difficult. I got myself a teleprompter but that in itself comes with challenges n I realise it makes me unnatural due to my content type. Seeing Nick do multiple takes has just given me the confidence to face my camera for my next video with no fear.. thanks Nick!
I thought I am only one struggling TH-cam creators maybe record in once. I am encouraged. U don't know how much it's helping others. I am thinking I need too keep going
Wow Nick! That is one of the most helpful videos I have ever watched - and I've watched a lot! Your massively generous transparency in showing how you record is huge reassurance to newbies like me. It also shows the huge amount of work that goes into your channel. My main takeaway is that it's ok to make mistakes and that they are an expected part of the creation process. For a prevaricating, perfectionistic person like me, who also struggles with imposter syndrome, this is a huge breakthrough so thank you Nick! You're a star! 👍 😘 ⭐🌟🌠
Thank you for sharing this. I always feel like i get messed up when i have to constantly re record for 5 minute videos. Glad to see even the big accounts do the same thing
Nick, I got to hand it to you. I struggled with false starts again and again when I tried making my video. I ended up having to slow way down and when I showed it to my friends they laughed because I don't normally talk slow and it sounded silly and kind of made me want to stop making videos. Watching you do multiple takes shows me that I guess it's a natural part of the struggle in getting good content out and makes me want to take another crack at it. Thanks for showing the honest and real side of you
This was so refreshing to see you, with years of experience, needing to start a phrase or repeat it a bunch of times to get it right. I do this all the time.. Sometimes I just can’t spit it out. I’m about a year into making content. I want to do this full time, and have been learning and grinding as much as possible. Thank you for this video, Nick!
Now THIS represents the real behind the scene content creation struggles. I repeat myself all the time and was certain it was just me. So refreshing to know I'm not alone. Thanks Nick, all these behind the scenes tips are very useful.
Thank you Nick! We are so afraid of messing up because you all make it look so easy! It’s all a learning process! Thank you Think Media! You guys are awesome!
It's so crazy how people don't understand how much work is involved into recording and editing, so happy you made this one i think that's the video i was waiting for eager to watch for a few months now 😂
I loved this video. It shows that I don't need to feel so bad about my takes. I always feel that people further in the journey don't make mistakes as often. But we aren't all highly trained actors, just normal people who go line by line through a video.
I thought I was the only one who was the nutty one doing several takes to make the video seem seamless...but it looks like its a common thing....I love how you broke everything down and show people what goes into the process of filming the episodes...I love using inflections like you do as well....I think that is important...Great job Nick !!!
Thank you, Nick. This will be one of the most helpful videos ever posted on this topic. Watching someone who has found success with TH-cam demonstrate how they film their videos, provides value in ways a lot of people will never understand. Thanks again, Nick. Great video.
Great content, good to see that messing up constantly and just pushing through is normal. That’s what I was doing and I became discouraged and stopped creating. This has inspired me to get back on to creating as I was actually doing it right
You did something fantastic here, Nick. This should help people get organized, and it's going to take the pressure off of new content creators wondering, "Why can't I get the words out?" I wish I could have seen this when I was starting!
Glad it’s not just me who struggles to remember 2 sentences that they wrote themselves for the intro 😃 love this video, I prefer to see this type of content over highly polished stuff
My wife and I really love your video nick.. We kinda new to youtube and trying to grow our channel and your content helps us alot. Specially on my wife because she still have that shyness in front of the camera. And as she saw this video of you having so many takes before getting the right clip gives her some relief, I always tell her that even PRo in this industry makes mistakes and its all about trials and errors. And she finally absorbing it when she saw this video. Thank you
Nick, OMG thanks for making this video. Watching you do retake after another really helped me to calm down. I've been thinking, what am I doing wrong, will I get better, is there a better way? I realize now that even someone with so much experience goes through the same process of tripping over your tongue. I like how you just pause and start again, that's something I'm going to adopt. Thanks again.
OMG so I am not the only one who has to repeat certain parts over and over and over! I was getting so frustrated with myself the other day trying to a voice over one on of my videos because everything I was saying was not coming out right. After an hour of doing that....I got up and took a 3 mile walk to help clear my head. This video right here! I need more of these! I actually just started trying to do voice overs to pre-recorded gameplay, compared to speaking while playing, which is the difference between Night and Day for me. I can pretty much speak while playing the game content I am doing my help videos for without much issue. Doing voice overs for pre-recorded videos feels so unnatural for me right now. Writing this only 1/2 way through this video and feel SO Inspired to keep working at it to get better. Thanks So Much Nick!
Thanks Brad, glad you enjoyed it. I was hoping this would help people feel what they were going through is normal while also getting insights on the process. So thanks for the feedback, I appreciate it!
Wow Nick. So nice to see somebody else go through just how tough and tedious it is to make a video! I thought I was the only one having such a hard time with it. This video really inspired and motivated me in so many ways. Thank you so much Nick, and keep up the great work you do for ALL of us! :)
Man the amount of times i have to re-do a line lol sometimes it takes me over 40 to 50 minutes to do a 5 to 8 minute video...nimmin you make us small creators feel so much better and inspired through ur content thnx man keep up
Good job Nick, as always very informative, and useful for other TH-cam creators, with a look behind the curtain. This all reminds me of another life, years ago, when I was a television news reporter, and the process of putting together a news story. But, that was back in the days of 3/4" tapes and analog editing. People don't appreciaite how good they have it today. Keep up the good work as we watch your subscriber and view numbers soar.
Thank you for this, now I know that I am not truly alone, repeating myself over and over, like a broken record, just trying to get that perfect execution to get my point across in my videos. Keep safe always Nick!
As a new content creator on TH-cam, I could see that I go through the same thing, having to repeat certain lines before I'm able to nail, especially since I do shorts & have to beat the time. This video is encouraging sir.
Wow! It was so helpful to watch you start and stop so many times! It really brings home that (edited) video is much more flexible in terms of 'takes'. All of my prior work has been live... So while I'm used to rehearsing and starting over in private, I haven't been thinking in those terms for recorded video.
Good to see I am not the only one having to repeat blocks over and over because of one error. So much words to stumble over. Only thing what I try is to always finish a block even when I do a mistake. It helps me to stay in the flow memorise the whole part and be less frustratrated.
This video is a eye opener! I’ve never seen someone record a video, and with a vid like this you can see the actual process behind the video, awesome video Nick! 🙌🏻
Glad i'm not the only one that has to take multiple takes of each clip! I really appreciate that you explained what you was thinking through for each section and why you did the things that you did. I also noticed that some takes you ended up speeding up your pace. Do you have to remind yourself to keep the pace and energy up? I sure do!
Thanks so much Nick for giving us an insight to making videos. I thought it was just me tripping up on words and having to retake simple sentences several times. Awesome 👍
This is great and really reassuring to see that my process isn't too far off from what the big dogs are doing! I talk a lot with my hands too and one of the hardest things for me in the edit is accepting the lack of continuity between takes or when I'm trimming silence.
Now I have answers. Sometimes I repeat the same thing over and over before I get it right. I taught I was doing the wrong thing Thanks for this Video Nick
This was incredibly helpful! Thank you for putting yourself out there and I appreciate it being "raw" as you put it. The natural feedback has significant value. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
@@NickNimmin Super helpful. I'd actually love to see more. One of the videos I've thought of making is to show what the editing process looks like for putting together a video like that. As someone just starting out and not having someone to follow with, it can be a similarly intimidating about whether I am doing the right things.
Thanks for making this video. I really appreciate you showing your process. It's encouraging to know It's normal to have to re-read lines multiple times to get it just right. I have recently just started my channel and reading my script is quite a frustrating process... I have to do it over multiple days because my voice gets rather tired. I need to get myself some throat drops 😊

Hey Nick, how do you add that pinned bar above your comment section...
Please tell 👍
Hi
Nick nimmin !! Hi
What is that clicker your using for?
OMG, so I'm not the only one who does multiple takes in rapid succession! I swear, I burn through 50GB of raw data for a single 10 minute video because of how many take I repeat! Excellent work as always Nick!
I do the exact same thing
Facts 💯👊🏽🧘🏽♂️
So relieved that even the pros do the same thing. LOL
I feel 50gb is pro numbers 😂😂 cuz i just created almost 78gb of raw data and started having serious questions if I'm doing things the right way that I had to Google search it. Now that I see I'm not the only one I'm kinda relieved 😂
This video is pure gold.
New content creators think it must all be perfect. THIS shows how you just need to record it until you get it right, then edit your way to perfect!
Thanks for the encouragement I appreciate you 👍🏾subscribe
We are all human. Seeing Nick doing his takes multiple times is just the encouragement I need to keep going. 🙏🏽.
Thanks Nick... I wanna wish YOUUU( in nick’s voice ) a happy weekend 😀
agreed. *head nod*
This video is EXACTLY what I needed!! I know I'm echoing everyone in the comments when I say this, but thank you SO MUCH for uploading this. It is perfect in its imperfections, and I'm glad to know I'm not alone. In those moments when I'm rewriting my script for the 5th time, filming take 10, or making thumbnail version 30 (all accurate numbers)... I'll remember that all the best TH-camrs do it too! Heck, I'm even drafting this comment in my Notes app because I want to properly convey how much this content means to new creators like myself who are obsessed with improving, growing, and providing value to others! Once again, thank you Nick!!
Thanks, I’m glad you enjoyed it. Taking the extra efforts you’re taking shows your commitment. Most people won’t make more than one thumbnail, you’re light years ahead of most creators in that sense.
Oh the magic of TV! We can edit out all sorts of stuff to make it look easy, but it's really a lot of work!
Nick you have no idea how many people are being encouraged by this video. Thanks for showing new content creators like us that it’s normal to have multiple takes. Loving this video and I’m barely into 5 minutes of it
My pleasure!

In the future, I hope to help you grow! I have a new channel coming out soon I hope, all I can pray is that it helps everyone. And I agree, Nick rocks! 🤘 - Kevin Venture 🤘
"So you can see your process is normal" Thank you! I do feel better about my filming process now! I guess me having to redo my lines so much is normal
Dude, sincerely, this was so helpful! So often I feel like I'm a lousy Creator because I have to say things over and over again and then piece them together for it to come off the way I want, knowing that that's actually relatively normal, you have no idea how encouraging that is for a person like me!

What a video, as a result of you being you and showing yourself I have turned from being a follower to an advocate of your channel. It is incredible how we all go through a process and think that it is just us going through it. Amazing share, please don't underestimate the difference a video like this makes - thank you
This was unexpected REALLY fun to watch. It’s exciting seeing that veteran TH-camrs aren’t perfect and multiple takes is normal.
I’d love to see your process on editing out all the garbage takes. That takes me hours!!
Seeing how many times it takes you to get it just how you want it is SO validating and encouraging! Thank you so much for sharing, Nick!
Oh my goodness, this has made me feel so much better about how often I have to repeat myself when recording videos! Love that it doesn’t throw you off and you just get straight back into it full energy - that’s my current goal with recording videos! I get so frustrated with myself!
Also agree with other comments that this ‘fly on the wall’ style is really fun to watch!
🙏
Oh, my word! It's nice to see I'm not alone in how many takes I do for a single video intro, lol. I just finished a conversation with my wife about how frustrated I've been/burned out I feel with making videos for my channel. Your raw video is what I needed to be encouraged again! Thanks, Nick.
Pure Gold

good video as always, you are dropping JEWELS.
This is so helpful. It takes me many takes to record my videos and I thought it was just me. Such a relief to see that successful creators also struggle too.
Seeing you record and say "no" and stop and start again is so refreshing! I have 59 subscribers and it's nice to see a big creator that does a similar process to me! Thank you Nick!!!
Thanks Nick! It puts a little relief for us to see the “not ready for prime time” that goes into this.
This has honestly been the most useful video for me as a new content creator. I struggle with my words so much and I feel so much more confident knowing I’m not the only one. Thank you so much. This has been very impactful and I’m glad I recently subscribed to your channel. Again thank you, this helps me tremendously
Super happy to read this, thanks! I’m glad you found it useful!
Great job showing a raw look and explanation of why and how you go about creating videos!
I really appreciate this. It is easy to assume that continuing to take loads of takes is a sign that we are just not cut out for this, or that we are doing it wrong or that the goal is to be able to do it almost fluently.
Seeing someone like yourself who has an enormous number of videos and livestreams behind you still doing the same things we are doing with repeated false starts and going again and again to get it right (as well as your tips for keeping organised and efficient with multiple takes) is really reassuring.
It's the process required to get a good result, not evidence of not being good enough.
It's tough when you compare all your own miss takes with everyone else's final edits!
Absolutely. That’s why I wanted to make this public instead of keeping it private.
I needed this video. nobody else made a video on this topic and I really want so see how other youtubers record. Thanks for this Nick!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Love the honesty and vulnerability here. It's really inspiring as so many have said here.
So reassuring Nick! I've made so many videos and sometimes get frustrated figuring I should have it down by now, you made me realize, this is totally normal! 😊👍
Comforting to see this is a normal process for all of us. Thank you Nick and hope you’re having a great weekend!
this is briliant , i need to ask my people more things in the community feed and get them more involved in the channel and see just what they want , great video nick

THIS IS ACTUALLY THE BEST VIDEO YOU'VE EVER MADE. So much value. Thank you sir.
👊 🤓
I love that Nick showed doing multiple takes. I do that myself it's appreciated to see we are all human. Awesome video Nick!!!
OKAY this made me feel so much better about talking straight to the camera. That has been kicking my ass lately. Thank you!
Now THIS represents the real behind the scene content creation struggles. I repeat myself all the time and was certain it was just me. So refreshing to know I'm not alone. Thanks Nick, all these behind the scenes tips are very useful.
Yes yes yes! This BTS, is extremely potent in my understanding, of how it's PERFECT to simply "mess up" and then course correct.
Thank you Nick! We are so afraid of messing up because you all make it look so easy!
It’s all a learning process! Thank you Think Media! You guys are awesome!
Recording a video inside recording a video . I don’t think people realize just how hard that is. Great content nick !!
Thanks.
It's so crazy how people don't understand how much work is involved into recording and editing, so happy you made this one i think that's the video i was waiting for eager to watch for a few months now 😂
I know this was raw, but it's the BEST creator video I've seen in a while. I'll be watching this one again for sure. Great job Nick.
I loved this video. It shows that I don't need to feel so bad about my takes. I always feel that people further in the journey don't make mistakes as often. But we aren't all highly trained actors, just normal people who go line by line through a video.
I thought I was the only one who was the nutty one doing several takes to make the video seem seamless...but it looks like its a common thing....I love how you broke everything down and show people what goes into the process of filming the episodes...I love using inflections like you do as well....I think that is important...Great job Nick !!!
That silent time to get rid of background noise is awesome! I won't have to turn my AC off anymore.
Thank you, Nick. This will be one of the most helpful videos ever posted on this topic. Watching someone who has found success with TH-cam demonstrate how they film their videos, provides value in ways a lot of people will never understand. Thanks again, Nick. Great video.
Thanks for the feedback! Almost didn’t publish it because it’s way outside of my normal content. But hopefully more people will find value in it.
Great content, good to see that messing up constantly and just pushing through is normal. That’s what I was doing and I became discouraged and stopped creating. This has inspired me to get back on to creating as I was actually doing it right
This was great vid as usual! 2 yrs Into my journey on yt and I'm still frazzled b4 video filming so this will def help🌻
You did something fantastic here, Nick. This should help people get organized, and it's going to take the pressure off of new content creators wondering, "Why can't I get the words out?" I wish I could have seen this when I was starting!
Thanks! That’s the reason I decided to post it publicly.
Glad it’s not just me who struggles to remember 2 sentences that they wrote themselves for the intro 😃 love this video, I prefer to see this type of content over highly polished stuff
I cannot thank you enough for this video! As a newbie, it’s extremely helpful to see how you pull it all together. THANK YOU!
You are so welcome!
This is one of the most helpful videos I’ve viewed. Thank you so much for sharing Nick. Greatly appreciated.
Glad it was helpful!
This video makes me appreciate all of Nicks's other videos feel seamless in delivery.
The magic happens in the edit.
My wife and I really love your video nick.. We kinda new to youtube and trying to grow our channel and your content helps us alot. Specially on my wife because she still have that shyness in front of the camera. And as she saw this video of you having so many takes before getting the right clip gives her some relief, I always tell her that even PRo in this industry makes mistakes and its all about trials and errors. And she finally absorbing it when she saw this video. Thank you
Glad its helping!
This is great to see, nick! I love your videos, you always deliver great advice. I’ve learned a lot from you.
I have a very similar process...only now I am doing it more outdoors LOL.
Nice! Looking forward to seeing what you do with the outdoors channel!
@@NickNimmin I never knew that you made mistakes. 😎
This is very refreshing video, to see a pro like yourself have to repeat yourself until you get it right give me hope
Nick, OMG thanks for making this video. Watching you do retake after another really helped me to calm down. I've been thinking, what am I doing wrong, will I get better, is there a better way? I realize now that even someone with so much experience goes through the same process of tripping over your tongue. I like how you just pause and start again, that's something I'm going to adopt. Thanks again.
OMG so I am not the only one who has to repeat certain parts over and over and over! I was getting so frustrated with myself the other day trying to a voice over one on of my videos because everything I was saying was not coming out right. After an hour of doing that....I got up and took a 3 mile walk to help clear my head.
This video right here! I need more of these!
I actually just started trying to do voice overs to pre-recorded gameplay, compared to speaking while playing, which is the difference between Night and Day for me. I can pretty much speak while playing the game content I am doing my help videos for without much issue. Doing voice overs for pre-recorded videos feels so unnatural for me right now.
Writing this only 1/2 way through this video and feel SO Inspired to keep working at it to get better.
Thanks So Much Nick!
Thanks Brad, glad you enjoyed it. I was hoping this would help people feel what they were going through is normal while also getting insights on the process. So thanks for the feedback, I appreciate it!
Wow this literally makes me chill, I needed to see how it works, thanks Nick
There is so much self direction happening here. This is awesome to learn and understand. Thank you!
Wow Nick. So nice to see somebody else go through just how tough and tedious it is to make a video! I thought I was the only one having such a hard time with it. This video really inspired and motivated me in so many ways. Thank you so much Nick, and keep up the great work you do for ALL of us! :)
You're welcome! 🤓👊
Man the amount of times i have to re-do a line lol sometimes it takes me over 40 to 50 minutes to do a 5 to 8 minute video...nimmin you make us small creators feel so much better and inspired through ur content thnx man keep up
@ 5:09 Thanks Nick! It is nice to know that I'm not the only person to stumble and need to start over. Looking forward to the rest of the video.
Good job Nick, as always very informative, and useful for other TH-cam creators, with a look behind the curtain.
This all reminds me of another life, years ago, when I was a television news reporter, and the process of putting together a news story. But, that was back in the days of 3/4" tapes and analog editing. People don't appreciaite how good they have it today.
Keep up the good work as we watch your subscriber and view numbers soar.
My gosh, Mark, this is perhaps the most helpful video I’ve ever seen. This is how I make videos and I thought I was doing it wrong. Thank you so much!
Thanks George! 😆
This one video actually helped me so much. Its good to see how the constant starting, stopping etc is normal. So thanks Nick!
Great video, amazing to see what someone with almost 1 millions subs goes through to make a video.
Thank you for this, now I know that I am not truly alone, repeating myself over and over, like a broken record, just trying to get that perfect execution to get my point across in my videos. Keep safe always Nick!
Hi Nick! Omg this was so helpful. I’m constantly tripping over my words and so glad to see it’s normal. Thank you 🙏
As a new content creator on TH-cam, I could see that I go through the same thing, having to repeat certain lines before I'm able to nail, especially since I do shorts & have to beat the time.
This video is encouraging sir.
Excellent video Nick and I absolutely love the behind the scenes walkthroughs! Keep ‘em comin’!
Wow! It was so helpful to watch you start and stop so many times! It really brings home that (edited) video is much more flexible in terms of 'takes'. All of my prior work has been live... So while I'm used to rehearsing and starting over in private, I haven't been thinking in those terms for recorded video.
Good to see I am not the only one having to repeat blocks over and over because of one error. So much words to stumble over. Only thing what I try is to always finish a block even when I do a mistake. It helps me to stay in the flow memorise the whole part and be less frustratrated.
This video is a eye opener! I’ve never seen someone record a video, and with a vid like this you can see the actual process behind the video, awesome video Nick! 🙌🏻
Glad you enjoyed it!
This was super helpful to watch. Thank you for sharing this behind the scenes. I'd love to see more videos like this!
Glad i'm not the only one that has to take multiple takes of each clip!
I really appreciate that you explained what you was thinking through for each section and why you did the things that you did. I also noticed that some takes you ended up speeding up your pace. Do you have to remind yourself to keep the pace and energy up? I sure do!
Me too
Yes I have to remind myself at times too.
I feel so much more confident now seeing that even one of the greats, still stuffs up from time to time! Keep up the amazing content! 🤙🏽
You rule. As a newcomer to the platform as a creator I NEEDED to see this!!
Thanks so much Nick for giving us an insight to making videos. I thought it was just me tripping up on words and having to retake simple sentences several times. Awesome 👍
Amazing video as always my friend! Thank you for helping your friend and us with recording beauty better videos! 🏆
Thanks!
This is great and really reassuring to see that my process isn't too far off from what the big dogs are doing! I talk a lot with my hands too and one of the hardest things for me in the edit is accepting the lack of continuity between takes or when I'm trimming silence.
Now I have answers. Sometimes I repeat the same thing over and over before I get it right. I taught I was doing the wrong thing
Thanks for this Video Nick
Man that makes me feel so much better. I have to repeat so many lines when I'm recording sometimes. Thanks!
Really useful and honest account of your process. Often I can't get the words out either, so was good to see an experienced TH-camr do this too.
I really needed to see this video. Now I don't feel so stupid about messing up so much as I film! Thanks Nick
This was incredibly helpful! Thank you for putting yourself out there and I appreciate it being "raw" as you put it. The natural feedback has significant value. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
This is definitely a video that I was looking for. Thank you for showing what it's like in the raw version.
Glad it was helpful!
@@NickNimmin Super helpful. I'd actually love to see more.
One of the videos I've thought of making is to show what the editing process looks like for putting together a video like that. As someone just starting out and not having someone to follow with, it can be a similarly intimidating about whether I am doing the right things.
Nick, wow! This was beyond helpful so glad you decided to share this! I feel literally like a thousand times better seeing this bts wow! Loved this!
Thanks for making this video. I really appreciate you showing your process. It's encouraging to know It's normal to have to re-read lines multiple times to get it just right.
I have recently just started my channel and reading my script is quite a frustrating process... I have to do it over multiple days because my voice gets rather tired. I need to get myself some throat drops 😊
