I like this bro! I currently have a sony a6400 but might get a second one as my main full frame. You’re very inspiring, make me want to go out and shoot. Jesus is King
I loved this video until the capcut ad, I get it for the real newbs, but davinci is free and people will benefit from learning a full program, learning capcut just pigeonholes them in to using dumbed-down apps, great video though, left a subscribe, like, and now a comment ;)
Being a TH-camr is very similar to running your own business. You should upload things people want to see, just like businessman should offer product/service that people need. And when the growth becomes real, you can consider hiring people to help you run your channel more efficiently. The most difficult part is starting and growing of course, but consistency and hard work (with a little bit of help from Fame - ster of course) will always pay off at the end.
Good afternoon. Thank you for suck encouragemebt. And I appreciate what you are saying so much. I have the desire, passion, and drive, and I believe I can do this. For me, right now I'm feeling like where or who do I turn to for help. Trying to properly connect my audio-video equipment and input proper settings so this process works continues to be my roadblock. I am a praying that someone will take the time to help me put this together.
Try to cut out the rambling in the edit and keep things moving. Over time as you hear yourself condensed down, you will actually start to replicate that in real life. It's similar to how it helps a shooter to edit their own footage in the beginning because in the process they learn how NOT to shoot. They will start shooting a lot less useless footage and the overall quality of shots will rise... Keep on the journey 👊✌️
Yeah man. I thought I stuck to the point recently but now I'm editing and I am not happy with my little wandering thoughts coming out. I gotta try to script so I can make all of the points I want to make known. Nothing like saying some good stuff and then adding something I just thought abiut..... explaining it. And then forgetting g a crucial point and there isn't roo. To insert it..... unless.... I delete the part and make a new one
Bro. I don’t know if you are going to read this. But as a content creator I know how much work you had with this video. Specially because of the variety of angles and takes. Congratulations, just the video itself is a piece of art.
Good morning. About three weeks ago I restarted my TH-cam journey with a serious goal that I'm working hard towards. And during this time I've seen many videos showing you how to go from “0 to 1000 Subscribers in 30 days” but none of those videos stood out to me as much as yours. Your sincerity and your ability to relate to your audience is refreshing. Just last night I was inspired to start formulating videos charting my journey from a “realistic” perspective and then I woke up and saw this video which is a sign that I'm on the right path. And finally, you may not realize it now but in making this video you did not give your audience just another “How To” video, you gave us an experience and THAT is the ingredient of a GREAT content creator. I pray the best of God's blessing for you my VA neighbor. 🙏🏼✨
@drwhitlock it's going a bit slow 🐌. I've posted a few videos and. Then deleted them. It's like youtube isn't showing them or because I'm a new channel they are not being found 🙄? I've got a lot of ideas on how I want to make my channel. But also with real world life I can't just drop everything. So yeah.
@@themarekch I understand, and I support you. I just followed you and pray we can get our channels going. Be kind to yourself and know that the success or lack of success is not about the quality or need for the content we create. Sometimes, other factors are involved. 🙏🏼
@drwhitlock thank you very much 😊 🙏. It's a struggle right now. But with that said. Yesterday was yesterday. Let's not lose today. If today doesn't work out then we have tomorrow. It's going to be a journey.
Finally started my channel a couple weeks ago, 2 videos out so far.. and started doubting myself.. of course I know it’s not going to happen overnight but there is this voice that has creeped in telling me “why would anyone care to watch your video” BUT this video has helped, just gotta enjoy the journey and see what happen! Good luck to all you New TH-camrssss!! 🤞🏾
I started uploading short videos consistently in summer 2021. I think my channel is at 79k subs because I didn't copy any other channels but were inspired by them and I put my own spin on it. I scoured TH-cam for other TH-camrs in Detroit and in my niche and there might be just one other channel doing something similar to mine but my channel is unique. It's never too late to start a TH-cam channel in 2024 but it's more saturated than ever and getting your channel to grow is getting more difficult.
Thank you for sharing this, it will help a lot. People often forget that being a TH-camr is like running a business. You give people what they want, and they reward you with their attention, resulting in income. Of course, it is tough to start and grow to the point you are monetized (but with a little bit of Famester everything is possible. I can't emphasize how much this online tool has helped me).
First, why is he wearing a winter jacket and shorts? 😂 All jokes aside, this video randomly popped up on my TH-cam feed and it's exactly what I needed. I'm a music and sports journalist whose best skill is writing, but all of these media companies (i.e. Pitchfork, Complex, Okayplayer, etc.) are going through major writer layoffs and pivoting to video/social media content. It's not my strength, but I've been trying to buy a camera, get some equipment and pivot my writing into social media. However, I don't want to sound or look like everyone else that's established. I say all of that to say this video was really helpful in giving me the confidence to just try stuff and get going.
What’s up DMV fam. I’m an old head and looking to start creating content. You were right about getting out of your own head. I appreciate you saying find relevant topics and then allowing your personality to show through.
🙏🙏🙏 Man, I always appreciate your honesty, authenticity, and perspective. I've learned so much from you just watching over the years. I'm always inspired by one of your videos! Thank you.
"Don't sleep on your perspective." Might be the best line I've heard all week. That just really helped me out because I ALWAYS discount my own perspective for someone else's habitually. I never give myself enough credit for my own opinions.
12:20 Just looking at this shot makes me realize, that little thing just a square piece of technology can do so much, impact and deliver a certain vision to millions of people. and all it took was for him to have a long tripod and sit on this fence on the side of the road like a crazy person. There truly is no excuses we have everything we need and more to do what we want to do.
I made it to the end. I love how you were able to give back so much insight and wisdom about YT (2024). I have been stuck for a month and this video has given me a lot of clarity about how to get moving again. Thank you! If you ever visit NZ I am in Christchurch and I can show you around.
love your video! being a very small creator myself, i get the pain of being in a small town not having pretty cityscapes to film but watching how you got around that in the video and seeing the effort and love you put in them really inspired me! absolutely love your work, keep doing good!
man I'm really inspired to watch this guys videos. He literally uses the world as his playground. He has an eye for everything and it wouldn't be bad if I tried to emulate that. it gives me a certain hope to start creating content.
isn't it all about perspectives? love the appetite you hunt perspectives and extra angles with thank you for sharing yet another set of perspectives you caught this time around🙏🙏🙏
I’m in Greensboro too , we need to start a support group. 😂…Because around here….but he’s right. We have to lean into the city more . I’m so motivated, I’m going to start my TH-cam channel.
@@hopeinajar77 do it man!!! All I got is a GoPro and some drones right now. Whatever equipment you have make a video. You got my full support! Going to subscribe now!
This was amazing. I appreciated the candid shots, commentary about the shots and the procedure. I also REALLY appreciated the reinforcement that doing what you are passionate about will create loyalty and that's what it's all about. Thank you SO much for this. You're my new fav production deep dive. Thank you!
My favorite parts were the raw cuts of just how many issues you can easily run into. Lol Ironic enough... the fact that you had to problem solve on the go, and didn't even wind up being able to get some of the shots you wanted is probably the realest and most inspiring part for me.
I recently had to leave my job. I then found your video "A Reality Check For Creators Wanting To Go Full-Time..." What keeps me coming back to my favorite creators is their personality, vibe and how they make me feel. I think offering yourself as you are and where you are at in life is what's the most attractive to me as a viewer. But that's just me. Love the BTS and what you're thinking when out in the field trying to capture each shot. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
So happy I watched this video. I’ve been getting back on TH-cam and wasn’t feeling what most people were doing but everything you said in the video was exactly my thought process and tbh I kept watching because you were just vibing.
I’m baby stepping into it. And don’t be fooled by my 10k subs. I lucked into two viral videos. But I uploaded 4 shorts and they low key are getting views. Love the message. 🙌🏼
The FIRST 37min video I've watched all the way through. Absolutely class. 🙏🙏🙏 Your advice about trimming out your personality is my biggest take away that I've been guilty of, so thank you!
Thank you for this video! I'm a noob in the world of content creating after toying with it for a couple of years. I've been doing videos for a couple of months now. This really helps me in how I want to develop my channel, and to not just doing the "throw spaghetti on the wall" method. Very insightful and encouraging! 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
This is the first of your videos that I have seen, but liked it and feel that it was really helpful. I have been piddling on TH-cam the past year. The past 4 years, my "good" videos were done by my videographer friend, and they are good for what I paid- but I am taking the dive into obtaining my own equipment and producing my own quality content. Also, I too am in Virginia- just south of Fredericksburg
I feel so privileged to see this RAW behind the scenes experience and hear your thoughts as you go through the entire process. A perfect (and realistic) blend of anxiety, gratefulness, and determination. This is the content that we as new content creators NEED to see ☝🏾☝🏾☝🏾
Stayed till the end. Always good content and your method of showing behind the scenes while dropping knowledge makes it highly watchable as well as inspirational and informative. Thanks for all you do!
Timely video for me right now, at a place with my channel where I want to pivot but worried how my current audience will take it. Definitely made a few of the mistakes you mentioned here.
🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 Always inspiring, brodie. Learned a ton from your videos over the past 5+ years. Finally reached 1K last week from applying many of the tips you’ve shared over time. Much appreciated.
So grateful I found your channel. I appreciate how candid and authentic you are. I am an aspiring videographer and can’t wait to put I’m learning from you into practice. A lot of your content has given me some great ideas. Now I just have to actually do it lol Keep it up!
Champion! I made it to the end! Thank you so much. Keep up the great work. You just made filming so much understanding. I am filming first video for my other TH-cam channel this week. Your advise is Godsend. And will be 90% useful. Thank you again.
This is by far the best “day in the life” I have EVER watched. And it’s very encouraging to those of us who want to jump in these waters and start a TH-cam channel. Kudos to you. Keep the great content coming❣️
I played this video while typing at work. Now that I'm done slaving for my job, I'm going to replay it while heading home. This segment gives me podcast vibes. Great content!
I know you said you were just exhausting the location but the shot with the posts at the concrete wall were my favorite actually. Also really appreciate the tips, especially not trimming all the fat off, that one hit home forsure
I'm an artist, but i also want to become a filmmaker just because i love music too and you know, cinema is the combination of both image and sound. So this year, i got my first ever camera (Sony a6700), got myself some cool lenses, cool lighting kit and a cool mic. This video is so inspiring to me.
Yooooo… “don’t sleep on your perspective!” Is something I’ve been wanting to make a video on for a while and then you mentioned it! Man freakin love the videos man
Good take on the copy cat mentality. I think it's important to copy in order to learn, but that you have to copy a bunch of different things, see what works, add it to your arsenal, and then keep leveling up. The straight jump to some low hanging fruit then the desire to stick with it is what is making a ton of mediocre content continue to pop up. I'm happy to see more people trying to stand out and do things differently, but it's really difficult. It's all I want to learn how to do at this point.
Word! Some solid advice! Virginia looks beautiful bro, I grew up in the English countryside and since moving to a big Chinese city I still prefer country living.
Amazing how many unique perspectives and shots you incorporate- also really appreciate you sharing your frustrations in the moment. I can definitely relate to those, but I hardly ever remember to hit record
Yo at first I was like: "37 mins is a LOOONG time for a TH-cam in 2024 video" But this was soooo much more. You might need to change the title. Cuz this is lowkey one of the best videos on "How To Make Cinematic Vlogs By Yourself". Many people cover that topic, but they don't show the actual setting up of the camera, angles, and the mindset to get it done.
I found you, doing exactly what you're talking about... figuring out how to bring my own special sauce to the videos I make. There are several channels in the space that I'm kinda aiming for. But, I'm coming at it from a completely different place with completely different experiences, so it's nice to have what I've already been think reconfirmed... that I need to lean into my unique strengths. (Which include photography, so I appreciate all the technical knowledge that you have to share on cinematography, it helps fill in some of the gaps for me) Keep it up man! (I made it to the end 😎)
I really enjoy watching your videos and I learn so much every time , I've been thinking and doing research to get me to the point where this mite be the year I start my own TH-cam channel . .. thank you and keep up the good work
Man!!!! You don't know how much I needed this video....I hate being in front of the camera but I have been sacrificing it for the sake of making videos. I'm actually more interested in film making than TH-cam creating but this is giving me the opportunity to practice what I'm learning from all my favorite film makers.
I LOVE THIS VIDEO DONT sleep on your perspective I feel that is so true everyone’s voice is different and we all have something different to offer bcuz we’re all unique ❤
"We made it this far!", Great video, been enjoying your videos and clips. My husband and I are active duty military and we just wanted peace and enjoy the way you film and your setup/explanations. We are just using a GoPro 7 for our filming and are inspired to eventually get to your level of gear someday. Keep up the great work.
I wanted to start a TH-cam channel since 2014, I only realistically got started in 2019 and it was tough back then, I can't even imagine starting today! It's always possible of course. For me, having my full time job and having this as a passion project/side hustle means I can focus on quality (as I do product reviews) and not focus on the money. Creating good videos will eventually lead to views and people buying stuff and I only want to review things I'm passionate about anyway, I don't want people spending money on junk and creating more garbage. This way I win, my audience wins and I can sustain this long term. My end goal wasn't necessarily to quit my full time job, it's a possibility but only if my TH-cam manages to bring in more than my full time job and then some.
Long video, let me know if you make it to the end!

❤ fantastic words of wisdom 👏
@@AndyDCruzer pretty much all you can do at times
the hardest thing for me is to talk freely to the camera, you're doing a good job sticking to the point without rambling.
Scripting! I’m also terrible at talking to the camera lmao. At the end of the video I talked about how that take took me like 6 tries
Try to cut out the rambling in the edit and keep things moving. Over time as you hear yourself condensed down, you will actually start to replicate that in real life. It's similar to how it helps a shooter to edit their own footage in the beginning because in the process they learn how NOT to shoot. They will start shooting a lot less useless footage and the overall quality of shots will rise... Keep on the journey 👊✌️

Also, I too am in Virginia- just south of Fredericksburg
"it's always beautiful to someone else", definitely, often you don't realize how beautiful what's right in front if you is 🌄🔥🌆😊
I feel so privileged to see this RAW behind the scenes experience and hear your thoughts as you go through the entire process. A perfect (and realistic) blend of anxiety, gratefulness, and determination. This is the content that we as new content creators NEED to see ☝🏾☝🏾☝🏾
Watched to the very end! Great, inspiring video. Found myself smiling with you, subscribed.
Stayed till the end. Always good content and your method of showing behind the scenes while dropping knowledge makes it highly watchable as well as inspirational and informative. Thanks for all you do!
Timely video for me right now, at a place with my channel where I want to pivot but worried how my current audience will take it. Definitely made a few of the mistakes you mentioned here.
This is the kind of lessons that I need. Great job
🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Always inspiring, brodie. Learned a ton from your videos over the past 5+ years.
Finally reached 1K last week from applying many of the tips you’ve shared over time.
Much appreciated.
So grateful I found your channel. I appreciate how candid and authentic you are. I am an aspiring videographer and can’t wait to put I’m learning from you into practice. A lot of your content has given me some great ideas. Now I just have to actually do it lol Keep it up!
Champion! I made it to the end! Thank you so much. Keep up the great work. You just made filming so much understanding. I am filming first video for my other TH-cam channel this week. Your advise is Godsend. And will be 90% useful. Thank you again.
i aspire to this level of content one day! thank you for the video!
🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 but actually all the way to the end. I'm always down to listen to ya man. thanks for the vid!
So good man. Love the mix of the polished production with the making of footage.
This is by far the best “day in the life” I have EVER watched. And it’s very encouraging to those of us who want to jump in these waters and start a TH-cam channel. Kudos to you. Keep the great content coming❣️
So wait @YCImaging you did a break down without telling us it’s a breakdown !!! 🔥🔥 don’t just do it Do it Now!!! I like how you did this video!!!
I played this video while typing at work. Now that I'm done slaving for my job, I'm going to replay it while heading home. This segment gives me podcast vibes. Great content!
This is fire! Recording 2 videos in one. Telling a story and then you told the story again haha Dope video. Thank you for sharing
I know you said you were just exhausting the location but the shot with the posts at the concrete wall were my favorite actually. Also really appreciate the tips, especially not trimming all the fat off, that one hit home forsure
I'm an artist, but i also want to become a filmmaker just because i love music too and you know, cinema is the combination of both image and sound. So this year, i got my first ever camera (Sony a6700), got myself some cool lenses, cool lighting kit and a cool mic. This video is so inspiring to me.
So many good things to say about this video, I can't land on 1 bro 🔥
I love the branded BTS talks at the end
Yooooo… “don’t sleep on your perspective!” Is something I’ve been wanting to make a video on for a while and then you mentioned it! Man freakin love the videos man
Good take on the copy cat mentality. I think it's important to copy in order to learn, but that you have to copy a bunch of different things, see what works, add it to your arsenal, and then keep leveling up. The straight jump to some low hanging fruit then the desire to stick with it is what is making a ton of mediocre content continue to pop up. I'm happy to see more people trying to stand out and do things differently, but it's really difficult. It's all I want to learn how to do at this point.
the quality of your video. top tier. audio, top tier
As long as I been watching your content I never knew you lived in VA!!!!🙌🏾
🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 I so needed this. The white Js in the mud/grass tho...
Word! Some solid advice! Virginia looks beautiful bro, I grew up in the English countryside and since moving to a big Chinese city I still prefer country living.
Amazing how many unique perspectives and shots you incorporate- also really appreciate you sharing your frustrations in the moment. I can definitely relate to those, but I hardly ever remember to hit record
Parkinsons Law - work expands to fill the time allotted. Videos lately are so good, absolutely love the format. Keep killing it.
just found your channel and man i love the way you put your videos together. inspiring stuff
I used your LUT “bronze” in my most recent video on my channel. It’s absolutely fire. Thank you 🙌🏽
Yo at first I was like: "37 mins is a LOOONG time for a TH-cam in 2024 video" But this was soooo much more. You might need to change the title. Cuz this is lowkey one of the best videos on "How To Make Cinematic Vlogs By Yourself". Many people cover that topic, but they don't show the actual setting up of the camera, angles, and the mindset to get it done.
I found you, doing exactly what you're talking about... figuring out how to bring my own special sauce to the videos I make.
There are several channels in the space that I'm kinda aiming for. But, I'm coming at it from a completely different place with completely different experiences, so it's nice to have what I've already been think reconfirmed... that I need to lean into my unique strengths. (Which include photography, so I appreciate all the technical knowledge that you have to share on cinematography, it helps fill in some of the gaps for me)
Keep it up man! (I made it to the end 😎)
I really enjoy watching your videos and I learn so much every time , I've been thinking and doing research to get me to the point where this mite be the year I start my own TH-cam channel . .. thank you and keep up the good work
Man!!!! You don't know how much I needed this video....I hate being in front of the camera but I have been sacrificing it for the sake of making videos. I'm actually more interested in film making than TH-cam creating but this is giving me the opportunity to practice what I'm learning from all my favorite film makers.
We all make it. Let's not give up❤
I LOVE THIS VIDEO DONT sleep on your perspective I feel that is so true everyone’s voice is different and we all have something different to offer bcuz we’re all unique ❤
I'm a flight attendant creator and this advice is pure gold. I am slowly growing my channel and this is exactly what I needed
Where have you been all my lifeeeee. Thank you for this video 📌📌📌📌
This format is underrated also 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿
"We made it this far!", Great video, been enjoying your videos and clips. My husband and I are active duty military and we just wanted peace and enjoy the way you film and your setup/explanations. We are just using a GoPro 7 for our filming and are inspired to eventually get to your level of gear someday. Keep up the great work.
I wanted to start a TH-cam channel since 2014, I only realistically got started in 2019 and it was tough back then, I can't even imagine starting today! It's always possible of course. For me, having my full time job and having this as a passion project/side hustle means I can focus on quality (as I do product reviews) and not focus on the money. Creating good videos will eventually lead to views and people buying stuff and I only want to review things I'm passionate about anyway, I don't want people spending money on junk and creating more garbage. This way I win, my audience wins and I can sustain this long term. My end goal wasn't necessarily to quit my full time job, it's a possibility but only if my TH-cam manages to bring in more than my full time job and then some.
🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 It's great getting to see your process and hearing real talk about what life making content on TH-cam is really like.
Great awareness, insight and suggestions!
Bro..this was one of the most impactful messages in TH-cam!
