Truth 😂
Just sent out my raven I guess it will take a couple of days from Europe but it will be well worth it haha ;) love your content Matt :)
Thanks for the tips, I appreciate all of our hypothetical one on one conversations. 😁👍🏽 Happy Birthday 🥳

Thanks Pete....😁
Guelph Ontario, love making family vids for everyone to see. During Covid-19 we see Mom and Dad but not in the ways we were used to, great to have youtibe to share our memories and fun times together as a family.
As a 70+ guy, TH-cam has given me a hobby that totally fills my days with learning, testing, filming, audio, ...its just great ... certainly keeps you going. Have nearly a 100 videos up now. Some vids I'm happy with some I'm not, but I keep trying to learn and acquire new skills. It's just a great experience and will leave a legacy for my family and friends.
Thats amazing keep it up! You will get there
Wow I thought I was getting to old to start a channel..... what a dumb thought. Thanks for the motivation dude
That's amazing ngl, keep it up
Thinking the same thing at age 63, I am to old to start. Thank you , and much success.
Good on ya. You are a great inspiration.
"There's nothing more satisfying..." than this colour grade. I mean, damn! HAPPY BIRTHDAYYYYY! Also, that cardigan looks SO comfortable, I need it 😭
I was called an influencer the other day and I got chills. Not the good kind, lol.
This cardigan is like wearing a hug from all your friends and family, all day long
"If you're starting a channel, welcome to the club. You're a filmmaker."
This is how this guy inspires me. Happy Birthday, Pete!😊
Just keep on inspiring people.
HDA Villaflor Agreed. We're all filmmakers AND something else. I may do auto content but I relate to any other content creator no matter their content.
@@kellyjensen9425 😊
yes yes yes!
YANG GANG
"If you're on TH-cam, welcome to the club. You're a filmmaker"
LOVE THIS!
We still don't consider ourselves filmmakers; we just make fancy home videos lol
Hahaha
Yup!
Some of us (umm... me?) just have super basic editing skills...
It honestly depends entirely on what type of channel you're producing. Lots of channels either don't, or rarely use even a face cam.
It’s just you bud. Your charisma is the main reason you blew up, you’re a cool dude and good to listen to. Awesome content as well.
Yuuuuppp👍🏻
Charisma is 120% of the battle
I'm f*cked
First time I'm listening to him and he feels so transparent ♥️
Yea look at us😂
"You're in the game now, you might as well put forward your best effort." - Peter McKinnon 2019
Just wanna say Thank you man.
You've made it feel possible to do the impossible for a lot of people, myself included.
Loved the thumbnail & title tip, it's sure as hell the most important things to get views.
You are a huge inspiration my dude, thank you for everything so far and i'm looking forward to what's to come.
Oh, and happy birthday!
Who all here in 2020 still? Hope you are still pushing toward your goals and building up your TH-cam or side hustles
Natalie Perri thank you🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼!

Thank you 😊 and same to you and everyone else.

If you're starting a youtube. Welcome to the club, you're a filmmaker.
Daniel Luedtke haha oh Thank you 🤣
Having a channel doesn't make you a filmmaker
Don't thinks so Daniel...As someone who has made a 'film' its a completely different ballgame
Film maker | Photographer | Director | Camera man | Editing | Graphic Design | etc. It requires to wear a lot of hats to be a TH-camr
cool :p
Happy Birthday Peter you are a inspiration to this many people
⬇️ plus more

5 year old video but still so relevant and so much solid advice. I love Peter's delivery, gets me so pumped!

"Function is secondary, looking good is primary." I couldn't agree more. Also happy birthday!
Corban LaFon thats why people like android over iphone
@@ehrarbose5600 So true. That's why I have an iphone!
Corban LaFon what?
That's basically what is wrong with the world.
Welcome to the Instagram era.
@@livinlicious Way to bring down the room lol
I watched you grow since you started I really am proud of your success and wish you more.
Happy birthday 🎉
This has been the most help video thus far.... by far! and happy (very) belated birthday! Cooking you and your family dinner soon.
Congrats on all your success and happy birthday!! Killing the game!
Peter: Don't ask for shout outs.
Also Peter: WISH ME A HAPPY BIRTHDAY
Lol Happy Birthday Peter!
hahaha....nice one
Exactly what I thought - I think the key is Pete does it with humour and class, not neediness ;)
“Welcome to the Club, You’re a Filmmaker.” Now That is gold right there. As challenging as the YT journey is, that’s pretty incredible to hear out loud. Thank you for the tips and Happy Birthday!
Loved that line as well!
Happy birthday, love your videos and the spirit, it does help a lot

I felt that Pete. Happy birthday!🤙
Happy birthday Peter! My daughter was born this morning!
Congratulations, welcome to the brotherhood of fools aka dads with daughters. Those little heart stealers.
Congratulations man! 🙌🏼
Congrats dude!!!!!
Congratulations!
Thanks everyone!
I definitely think that getting over the "I am not a film maker" vibe is pretty important. You gotta full send on it!
Happy Birthday man!
You're not a filmmaker unless you make film.
Happy birthday!!!! 7 months later! 😂🎂🎉🎊Nice video, btw. Thanks for sharing!
I really like these videos Peter! Enjoy your birthday!
Thanks! Im never really quite sure if people like them! haha Good to know! Cause I like them!
@@PeterMcKinnon Thats how it`s done! Just create content you really want to create. It`s impossible to make everyone happy.
BTW: I would love to see an updated Behind The Scenes Version of how you create these Videos (Preparation, Setup, Recording...)
Happy Birthday bud! Thanks for all the awesome content over the years. I've learned a lot from your videos and incorporated that into my own content when I can.

Happy birthday ❤🙏🙏😇🙏😇🙏❤❤😇

@@DavidDanielPierce Lighten up, Francis. He's mimicking Peter's dry sense of humor.
happy birthday, mate. The same day as my son, Oct 28.. Top video too mate. I got a lot outta it.
2017 Peter : Look at that half framed photo frame behind
2019 Peter : frames the Matti & Pete sign one sidedly
Yeah I noticed that too lol!
That’s the hidden secret. Half framed wall art.
The poster frame behind him in the 2017 video was too big and was awkwardly cut off frame. The Matti & Pete sign is slightly offset but it's not cut from the frame which is more aesthetically pleasing than the 2017 video.
I was gonna comment this 😂😂
@@finnillson4808 Yep... That as it right there and it was an Easter egg.
Can we just appreciate the quailty of this video? The lighting is insane..
i feel like the whole frame should be like one thord of a stop darker, otherwise excellent
@@John69420 turn your screen down? 🤣
Peter is the type of guy you know you'd get along with at a BBQ.
Couple more days, the greatest day for all of us, watching your videos.
Happy Birthday 🎉🎊🎁
Personally, I love watching TH-cam videos shot in simple authentic settings much more than fancy professional studios. If I want all that, I would be watching tv. The charm of authentic youtubers is that they and their surroundings are authentic! Thanks Peter! I love your home studio sets! oh and happy belated birthday!
Awesome advice dude, I couldn't agree more with you! As a "creator" it makes so much sense to have an honest conversation with myself and even though it may be difficult, admit my shortcomings, be modest about where I can improve and then get back to work! Thanks for the awesome advice, stoked to see what you have for all of us in the future! 🤘
Thanks for the tips, I just started, I'm just making videos to help other people but I already caught myself looking at the stats multiple times a day and thinking I need better equipment... And I really just, just started.... Already need to remind myself why I started. So thanks for the tips again.
Thank you very much for sharing this video! The last part was the best. If you are getting onto you-tube you are now a film maker....Gave me chills!
I "officially" started my channel like two days ago. Such great advice! Bringing peace to people (in this world) is my most sincere reason for being on here.
Happy birthday! Thank you for the inspiration as always!
PS - I’d do 50% less zoom cuts or whatever you’d call it. Got distracting half way through the vide
I love how Peter talks about his mistakes and the behind the scenes of everything instead of all the fancy stuff. That's why we admire him as a creator 🎉 You inspire me to start my own youtube channel. Happy birthday
haha instead of the new bagpack, the polarpros, the merch, the sellfy stuff, the collabs.. true totally non profit :P
anyways - love his style too :)
No one give up! You are worth so much. I’m disabled and chronically ill, but trying to find worth as well!
I remember finding you in late 2016, around December I think. I got into doing videos for my yearbook class (like ads and announcements.) I was looking up tutorials to make my videos better and more entertaining so students wouldn't be bored when watching the video in class. I was so excited to find you and follow your tutorials for my videos in the class. I was telling everyone around me, classmates, my teacher, just about anyone who was interested. I was always into photography and kinda interested in video, but never did much with either. You inspired me to try to follow photo and video because of your photos and the insane videos you make. So thanks for starting TH-cam or I would have never found you :)
First, a late happy birthday! You are the best.
Second "the pillow, the youtube playbutton pillow do we have that, I need that!" cracked me up so good :D
Solid advice, I wish I would’ve known a lot of this in the beginning
everywhere i go i always see U phuc map =)))an amazing thing =)))
@@hiense2348 mình vui bạn thấy như vậy
Lol I’m in the beginning
Happy Belated Birthday PETE from almost a year later! You're amazing!
"If I write it all down I might as well be a blogger." 😂
I laughed hard on this one! 😂
Totally. who's got time for that.
I wished you in advance in the last video itself! Happy Birthday again legend!
If someone sent you a raven with a message, you’d totally collaborate with them. *working on training my raven* and my audio is the worst.
Happy B-Day.
♥ Happy Birthday. Feliz Cumpleaños en español ♥
You know, birthdays are good for your health.
The more you have, the longer you live!
Peter’s thumbnail has gone from “I’ll bring your daughter home by 9” to “She calls me daddy now” 👀 Talk about a glow up with your photography and yourself 👏🏾
When your favourite TH-camr shares a birthday with you 🤯🤯🤯🤯
Happy birthday twin

Same as me. Happy bday bro
Same here bro, 32 today!

And thank you for this video! May God bless you always!!!

Happy Birthday fella. Hope you’ve had an EPIC day 👍
“My first video were I have a Half framed pictures behind me!” as he sits today with a half framed picture behind him...
Gonethinkin ahah, I was thinking the same, but at least this time the pic doesn't make much contrast
I'm about a year or so into building my channel, love everything you're saying here. Thank you for this clear and direct message. See you in a few years when my channel blows up and stuff. :)
Grant Stinnett keep going man doing great so far! 🙌🏼
@@AndrewMclean Thanks Andrew!! :D
Happy birthday bro
"I'm everything I just told you not to worry about" 😂😂😂
The filmmaker your girlfriend told you not to worry about 😂
Happy birthday Pete!!
"Function is secondary, looking good is primary" Hahahaha!!
Love the hair man. Hope you have a wonderful day.
LOL "I need that pillow. Everyone has that pillow." My bad days are instantly a little better when I watch your videos. I hope you had a very Happy Birthday!
It's been 300 Days... Happy Belated Birthday Peter! Keep up the good work!
Great tips and for me its just a confirmation that im on the good track haha. Because i "follow" allready all the tips what you give by my self.
Thanks for the confirmation.
Oh man, I'm never this early.Happy B-Day dude!
There's some really solid advice here, and it's great that most of the points apply to every type of content creator rather than just vloggers and filmmakers. I strongly believe that the key to success on TH-cam is to find something that you're passionate about and to put your entire heart into it, and I think Peter hit the nail right on the head with point 2 about doing it for the right reasons. Having an original concept or style is extremely beneficial as well, but if people can tell that you're passionate and putting in a ton of effort, then the views and subscribers will follow naturally. I started my channel during university with nothing but a laptop (not even a camera), but I spent 100+ hours on each video and people slowly started to take notice. Like Peter said, you don't need expensive equipment or software to get started in the beginning. You just need a solid idea, a bit of motivation, and some strong initiative!
Oh, and I almost forgot:
Happy Birthday, Peter! : )
Happy, multi-year belated, Birthday! I'm sure you'll have another one closer to this time lol. Thanks for the videos McKinnon, they are always very helpful and entertaining, quality stuff!
Happy birthday Peter hope you “smashed it if that’s something you’re into” 😉
*Happy Birthday Pete* 🥳🎂🎈✨
*Wish you a many many happy returns of the day🙈*
Peter McKinnon. You need to bring back small creator episodes. I would book a ticket as soon as you say go. 🤙🏼
I believe in all the other small TH-camrs and creatives out there. Keep pushing your content, developing your talent - success will come!
The most satisfying thing is your intro music man
That zipper asmmr, though.
Side note: Your hair looks SO good in this video. It’s a great look on you.
It would look better on me.
Is it just me? That sweater looks comfy af.
Nah, mate...looks pretty damn comfy to me too. :D
Imagine a rainy day of autumn, staying at home wearing that while watching a movie, knowing you're enjoying a lovely bank holiday. Oh boy! 🤤
Link to buy it anyone?
Shervin it’s a North Face jacket
Wow! I learned, I laughed, I enjoyed it a lot and it couldn't be better than this!
Wish everyone who read this, become a successful person in their life , No matter what you are doing. Blessings!
Yes. No matter what we are doing. When I listen to people like Peter and Gary Vee, I am not listening to become who they are or do what they are doing. I am listening and gathering encouragement to become what I want to be and do what I want to do. Or deeper. To become on the outside, who I have really become and am becoming on the inside. Blessings back.
After 6 months of analysis paralysis, I’ve finally started my channel, even though I know people won’t watch it, I’m starting it for the right reasons.
i'm making my channel because I don't know what I am doing half the time.
Living Style Productions thanks bro
God bless u 💜
Happy b day!! I’m probably late but I hope you had a great day,
. The fact that your still doing a vid on your video is amazing, you give even when you should be given stuff. Have a good one
That bit about the "TH-cam Pillow" made me LOL.
Happy Birthday Peter!
This is the first of your videos I am watching!
Wow thanks for sharing on the importance of titles and thumbnails. Saying that you'd sometimes spend more time on the title and thumbnail puts into perspective the importance of it.
Happy Birthday mate! Hope somebody gifted you that "youtube pillow" :)

Peter: Don't obsess with numbers.
Me: 42 subs.
Short sad story. Jokes aside, what you said about the reason to make videos is gold, many people talk about the niche and focus on what users like, forgetting that the first absolute point of everything is that you have to do something you love and would do tirelessly.
Matti: write it all down
Pete: Why? if I’m going to write it all down I may as well be a blogger 🤣🤣🤣
yes! That was my favorite line in the whole bit!
This video is months old now... but it's the first time I'm coming to it and I NEEDED this message today!!! Love your heart, Peter.
I'm absolutely terrified to be in front of the camera, so thank you for being honest and providing such great info. Because of you I'm putting myself out there.
Me too, I'm shy to speak to cam😂
Same here! In my channel, i post videos myself playing music on the piano. And i'm still trying to work up the courage to make a video where i actually speak to the camera...
"i'm not a filmaker" welcome to the club, your a filmaker - Brillant! and Happy Birthday
This channel reminds me of King of Queens sometimes, where the intro has nothing to do with the rest. It's wonderful.
