hahahaha I thought I was the second coming of eminem and now i make indie pop music. it gets better kids
Hahah we’ve come a long way
😂 Danny owes you one for sharing that
I appreciate the shout out haha! Keeping not only me inspired, but so many others!
There he is
"i'm not the type of personality to put myself in front of the camera, i hate doing it but i still do it" i needed to hear this so bad, cause i've been doubting whether to put myself out there on tiktok even when i feel deep inside is what i have to do. thx danny
My God, I've been asking myself the same thing too! I'm glad to know it's normal.
This shows me that my "bad" videos are a phase, I have to keep growing and improving, and eventually, it'll all come together and be worth it. Thank you for this video, Danny.
Edit: Ori has serious flow
Hahah thanks man
so glad you captured that office b-roll, it's easy to have just shrugged it off & not gone to those lengths to capture that time of life.
It's good to see your heart on screen, brother! As always, thank you for sharing of yourself for the good others!
Thanks Chris!
Danny this video might have just changed my life. Thank you for such an encouragement!
the cinematography here is absolute fire. fellow young creative here (just started two months ago) and your art inspires me each day. thank you for the words of wisdom and the throwbacks!
Thanks! Glad to hear that!
These authentic videos are the way foward. Love it! Do more, you have a good personality.
Thank you!
100% accurate in my opinion.
Love it. The most inspiring thing about looking at old work is seeing the instincts and sensibilities that were there from the start. There's an authenticity about early work that's always special.
Definitely man. Thanks!
Great topic Danny!
This is inspiring! Love hearing you say "im gonna do it".... and Danny did it!! Congrats brother
Your the man Danny! Love the vulnerability and showing the progression. Your feeling of discomfort is is a comfort to many others so keep it up
Dude this is a cool ass video!! I appreciate you being emotional on camera too, this is an awesome video and reflection to see
Nothing feels more better than watching your old films when you were just "winging it". Realizing how far you came, & that its only just the beginning. Salute to you Danny, may we cross paths one day !
That is where I am at now...I am not a "in front of the camera" person. I just want to make my projects. Even knowing that in order to do that, I need to add some in front of the camera projects...haven't got past the fear part of that yet!
Just keep working!
I'm at a point in my career where i feel like my film style hasn't progressed or it feels stale. Seeing this really gave me a perspective that it will get better. Thank you Danny!
Wow! Mark Bone literally just dropped a video a couple hours ago plugging in one of his earlier documentary hard drives and sharing his first footage as well…you guys are in sync today! 👍🎥
You are the best inspiration to me Danny! All the time. Please keep inspiring.
Great message in this video! Just shows how much you've put in!
And nothing wrong with being emotional! Shows just how passionate you are about your craft!
Also - Sansa back-sleeping in the background 😂
We know that it's hard to be on YT, but that's why vulnerability is a strength! Appreciate not only your creativity, but your authenticity!
Danny you j inspired me so much. Im a 17 y/o aspiring filmmaker with a family who don’t believe in all this filmmaking stuff yk so watching you talk about ur journey and the step you took to follow your dream, live the life you wanted and eventually being vvv successful with the decision makes me so much more motivated and happy as I’m doing the same and Ik if you got successful, I will too j gotta keep creating! Plus Im about to shoot my first proper cinematic film tmrw and I was so nervous istg but watching this I feel confident and ik even if I mess up (which I might tbvh) it’s alright as I know the more I create the more I’ll get better at my art and become the kinda filmmaker I want to be. Thankyouu sm for inspiring me man, I subscribed right away and I rlly hope to meet you someday! Loveyou man!
Such an inspiration! Similar to your first day of life video I’m actually at the exact same crossroads right now. Steady secure job that I’m leaving in March and I’m going all in on myself to make filming my job.
i watched the bts of your film during summer and it motivated me to finally make my first short (i'm 19), but i saw that it sucked tremendously so i still haven't finished editing it, i can't bear it. this video though... you inspired me again, thank you... i guess we just need to embrace our work because "failure" is still better than nothing
Thanks man! I'm in tears, it's hard to explain but this really struck a chord with me!
I love how you show people your old work and just tell them that everyone starts at 0. BTW congrats on 300k!!🙌♥
Thank you for sharing! I always feel like my perfectionist attitude prevents me from even trying to get better in the film world but it’s good to see the original films to see that even the best started off somewhere
Really inspiring stuff Danny! It’s sometimes hard to share your own work when you see how the people you look up to are making incredible stuff. This is a good reminder that everyone starts in the same place. Thanks Danny!
Thanks dude!
the athletic vid you shared def foreshadowed your style to come. thank you for sharing
Thanks man!
When you said “DANNY YOURE DOING IT” made me choke up, cause right now I’m putting in work to improve and get to the level I wanna be at and I wanna make my future self proud.
Thank you for sharing this
I honestly loved your “day in the life” video! Gave me such 90’s vibes. I’ve been following you for years now and you’re such an inspiration!
Thanks dude!
Oh man, I know the feeling so well watching old stuff. You're much better at being kind to yourself - that's the biggest thing I took away from this.
I love that you give yourself props and acknowledge the potential of your early work. Other creators seem to only self deprecate throughout the whole thing. Genuinely authentic and refreshing!
Thanks Juan!
Every project is a learning experience. Also, congrats on the 300K.
Thanks man!
Always inspiring me. I'm so glad to be a part of this community. Love you Danny
Got hired to make my first doc ever for Under Armour and used your video for Sydney as a huge inspo to pitch it. I appreciate your videos a ton
Congrats man!
I loved the old videos! Inspired me a lot!! You’re awesome
I really enjoyed this man! Makes me wanna crack into the old drives and relive the early days of figuring it all out. Keep it up.
Thank you for being vulnerable. You not being afraid to show your true emotions is what separates you from most and connects you more to us. Thank you for showing you care, thank you for inspiring❤
Thanks man!
Kudos for having the courage for going back down that rabbit hole! More importantly I absolutely love Sansa in the background with the belly up, paws up "support"
This is inspiring and eye-opening some time back looked at my first TH-cam video and was laughing at myself but also it made me appreciate growth. Thank you Danny for this authentic video
Thanks so much!
Thanks for being vulnerable and sharing Danny! You’re an inspiration for many of us! Love you
I started learning filmmaking 3 years ago watching your channel and now I do it professionally. Thanks for what you do and how you share it man. Keep being authentic.
Amazing to hear dude
Thank you Danny for taking the time to show your work like that. It's crazy the journey you've made, I have no other word that : "Congratulation man!"
Yes sir! Thank you!
Bro, you also got me thinking about where I was at in 2014-2015 with my work, getting some editorials and thinking I was the best photographer on earth after Peter Lindbergh. LOL It's so easy to get lost in the amazing quality of the videos being produced now, but newcomers don't realize there's many years of work and learnings, and mistakes, behind. Thanks for the beautiful reminder. Also hope your shoot goes well, man. TTYS.
Thanks brotha!
My dude. Congrats with the insane number of 300.000 subs! (and the amazing video + progression over the years!)
Man this was motivating, even though I started officially a year and some change ago it’s often cringe to watch older videos but there’s a sense of nostalgia there. Even the GOAT Danny G had to start from somewhere, but my favorite thing is to learn from each project to make it better!
Haha thanks bro!
Awe man, this brought me back to make me want to watch my first 2016 reel
From time to time going back to the old work just inspire your true self and it brings back a lot of positive energy and sometimes you get an idea that you’ll be like hay i can pull this concept better now.
Wooow thank you for this Danny 🖤🎥 you're so inspiring (you made me cry after your video of you quiting your job 🥺🙏 it's gold)
Haha thank you!
Inspirational. Encouraging. Thanks Danny.
Thank you!
I love you just the way you are. Thank you for sharing it with us
this channel really does feel like a home for filmmakers:)
Glad to hear that dude
yea Danny, so nice to see this. Feels like watching over the years that everything you put out has always been amazing, glad to see that you had to work for it just like the rest of us. Thanks for this one and the other videos on your channel, keep makin' it happen!
sansa sleep in the back was a paid actor hahahahah. love your vids danny your always inspiring me!!!
Where were you when I was 20 lol. I was so frustrated that my projects weren't going anywhere. Now I know I was spending my time learning. I wouldn't be where I am today as a filmmaker if it weren't for all the terrible stuff I made for years
Haha I could have used it too
Well done mate! Your video are always great and im glad im find your work. Your inspire me like others inspire you in your first days!🤙
Thanks for all you do man. It honestly helps so much. Hell, because of you I posted my first short film/doco on TH-cam (to modest success). You’re definitely making a difference and I’m glad to see we all start in more or less the same place 😂
Also, love that Sansa was dead to the world for most of that film.
Thanks dude
I'm just now getting into filmmaking and videography, and the first video I made recently was an inspirational/motivational video for myself. Watching this was awesome and really inspiring! Hoping I can stick with it. 🤞
Thank you! i mean it! this video is just what i needed! THANK YOU Danny 🤝
Danny, you are such an incredible inspiration to countless people around the world. This was a beautiful video, you've clearly come a long way and its amazing to see where you are now. Take it from a guy in smalltown Alberta, I have made some stinkers through my time in high school and even after into film school. But I love all of them, what I learned during & after making them is more valuable than anything I could've asked for. I'm almost 23, graduated from film school last year and I still have so much to learn. Right now I'm writing a feature and getting ready to apply for grants for another short film, a musical too, way outside my comfort zone. I do worry sometimes, trying to balance working on my own stuff while also trying to find work on paying sets... But videos like this and many others with your sincerity and optimism give me hope that things will pan out the way they're supposed to.
So, thank you, for giving everyone hope that it's going to be okay. And to be creative. - Jared
P.S. Can't wait to finally be able to see 'I Think I'm Sick' when it's available.
Thanks man! It’ll be out in spring!
Love the emotion, shows how genuine you are. These obviously show so much potential and for most of us they don’t SUCK!
It’s hard to put yourself out there, most of us should go for it and not overthink it.
Your attitude is so likable and relatable. It’s wild to know someone like you even thinks they aren’t great on camera when you are. 🔥
Thanks for this Danny!
Haha thanks man
Ah, bro, this vid made you feel like we we're there sitting in the room with you as you run through this haha, so rad.
Keep inspiring Dan, I've been learnin heaps, laughing lots and getting inspired from this channel for 2 year now.
I've also just been retrenched from work, where I've been an in-house videographer for 4 years now, so I will be setting off on my own freelance journey. So, a very timely video to watch from me. 🙏
Thank you John!
You´re so human Danny, thank you for share this with us ❤
man this is awesome!
thanks for sharing this with us!
So inspiring to see your progress. Thank you so much for sharing. Greetings from Slovakia ✌️
@DannyGevirtz Can't wait for you to come UK bro, this was another awesome video
Me too man! See you there
It was so inspiring to watch. Thank you for everything you gave to us with all your videos and incredible stories. You motivated me to quit everything few years ago (actually 1 years and half lol) to pursue my dreams. Again, thank you Danny.
Well, this video just encourage me much to still going with filmmaking..thanks Danny
Dude thank you for showing this!!
these old hard drives are gold haha! such a good reminders that we all have to start somewhere, really enjoyed that video man :)
Haha definitely
Man I wish I backed up my stuff to external hard drives. I did back it up, but it was all in the same computer so when my powersupply blew, it took ALL my drives with (including the backups). Now I'm struggling to build my showreel because I only have like 5 projects to showcase 😅. But damn Danny, you've come so far man! And I'm so glad to have been apart of the journey and watch it happen in real time man! Looking forward to the rest!
Thanks for sharing Danny 🙌❤
Just remembered why I like your channel so much (:
You've definitely come a long way but it's crazy to see the bones all there from the start. The composition truly was great on all those shots. Thanks for sharing these!
Haha thanks dude
Thanks for that danny, it's always a joy to watch and listen your advices, see you in Manchester, can't wait to watch your film ✌️
I was super emotional with you and then I spotted Sansa in the back just living her best life sleeping and I definitely broke into laughter.
Lmao!!!
i guess you'll never know how far you can go unless you keep doing it. thank you for sharing this
This video was beautiful, but can we just appreciate how comfortable Sansa is sleeping like that? 😂
I love how Sansa just absolutely knocked out beside you while we witness the most inspiring filmmaking video ever. LOL
Lol she’s the best
So inspirational! Thanks for sharing this❤
You do truly inspire us man. At some point the YouTubing will probably end, for now, we are very very grateful. We'll watch your BTS vlogs on the DVD extras for your future feature films. lol
[next bit is me just typing away]
I'm at this weird point, 31, working full time at a marketing company as their writer, director, producer. I really want to write and direct a short film. However, I know the amount of work it takes to make a GOOD short film vs just making my first short film. Having directed some small ads now, it's kinda been my filmschool like the Spaced TV show was for Edgar Wright.
I'm just not passionate about making commercials. Films and entertainment are my passion. But at 31, I'm ready to find a wife and have a stable job to support a family. So if I commit to filmmaking, I'll have no time to do anything else other than my job and filmmaking. I spent my 20s lazily chasing dreams that didn't work out, and idk if I want to spend that time chasing my dreams again. I'm 31... 30.... freakin.... 1...... I'm kinda just typing my emotions out. I think I'll figure it out, but just wanted to say, again, Danny you keep inspiring me. Edgar Wright has been a big inspiration lately, and you dropping this video now, huge.
So happy for you man! Been following you now for a few years. Hope to meet ya!
Movies and incredible performances since I was a kid are what got me into acting.
Incredible filmmaking got me into nerding over film.
Seeing how much money wedding videographers make got me interested in leaving my old job.
You and Casey Neistat are the reason I decided to pick up a camera and commit and now I have a job making videos for clients!
Edgar Wright peaked my interest in writing and directing.
__________ was what made me finally commit to writing my first short film. (pending)
Much love man. :)
I skimmed to be honest but glad to hear I’ve helped inspire man!!!
You are a whole inspiration for many of us, thank you for keep sharing your life and process, truly means alot.
Thanks man!
thank you for showing us this this does show it doesn't matter where you are in life just create im from Philly and move out to fl and I had to learn that you just got to reach out to people and create the best way you can to grow and seeing this helped me do that 🙏🏾 you came a long way and thank you for sharing your journey with us keep growing
Thanks dude!
Love you man. Even though it is hard for you I hope you know you make it easier and less scary for others.
Glad to hear that man!
You made the “ First Day Of Life” video on Peter McKinnon’s birthday. Just a neat coincidence.
Edit: also I’m just now starting out making videos and little stories. I’ve just posted my first work called “We Are Collectors” I’m never proud of my work but I killed a transition in there that I’m so excited about. My audio needs so much work as does everything else but I’m enjoying my first steps on this journey. Thanks for all the inspiration!
Love this Danny G. Thanks brother!
Thank you man!
“Be willing to be a fool to become a master”
Also I find it funny your first film that “sucks” inspires you still today. Which means it is continuing to do the desired outcome that you talked about
1.) you made it for yourself
2.) to inspire someone
Amen man!
I am an old person getting a lot of shitload beautiful advice from you bro!! Keep going!❤ Love you 😘
A true inspiration👏 Keep doing you!
Thanks so much Danny, needed this 🙂
Glad to hear that!
Great stuff man, it's great to see how you've grown it over the past 8 years, just reminds us who are just starting out that talent doesn't come out of nowhere, it's developed over time. I'm just 16, started my filmmaking career last February. Looking forward to growing my portfolio this year. Congrats on the 300K, you deserve it man.
Thanks dude!
Love these man!! Always fun to look back
Super rad Danny. I'm glad you've continued to keep putting yourself out there. I've certainly benefited from it.
u r my greatest mentor, the one who made me start being a"filmmaker"
Looking forward to seeing i think im sick in Manchester in a few weeks Danny
If you are around after would be a dream to meet you
Heck yeah! I’ll def hang before and after the screening. Also will be doing a panel talk the day before where I’ll see people
Hey Danny
Mugume here from Uganda. Thanks for the inspiration
Thanks man!
you inspire me with every video you make. keep it up i love your work. Thank you so much!
Thanks so much
Sansa straight VIBING in the back 🤣
Can we just acknowledge and appreciate the way Sansa is sleeping at 7:00 😂
