Trying something new here! Never done a video this long, but I'm pretty excited with how it came out and we spoke from the heart! Really hope you guys enjoy it!
Peter McKinnon good vid
Great work as usual, keep this up!!!! Now!
Peter McKinnon Triple Camera Shot 👌
This is great bro
You guys are great. Your whole crew have been such a help!
33 Minutes of Peter McKinnon and Chris Hau ? Yes please.
Aww thanks man! A Filip Milosheki comment!? Yess please :)
You are awesome dude! Keep rocking that ig feed!
Filip Milosheski just subbed cuz of the positivity! hopefully I can learn something from you just like these awesome guys!
LeoS0ul-F wow. Thank you dude that is amazing! I am getting back to the consistent uppload really soon! ^^
Filip Milosheski looking forward 2 it

Siim Land yesss love this quote
Yeah, like many others I always want to create what I have in my mind, but then I realize that I don’t know the basics yet...
reverse engineers That’s me.

Truth!
Peter, I love your content, I love your B-roll and everyhing
But you're right, that's not why I watch your videos
As you said, I do it because of you, because of your personality
And I do it because every time I watch your videos I just feel the urge to pick up the camera and go shoot some stuff!!
Thank you for that
I couldn't have said this any better. After working at a corporate, soul killing job for over 30 years, I am ready to finally do my own thing. I enjoy watching Peter as I am trying to reconnect to my own voice. I love Peter's energy and insight. Please don't take it to heart if the critics say negative things about you, Peter. People at the top of their game are easy targets. Many people are just not capable of producing new and exciting content and it makes them feel better by tearing other people down. We appreciate and respect what you do. Thanks
I love how this video is universally informative to all creators. There was so much I could relate to in this! Great job guys.
A Peter McKinnon Podcast needs to happen. I'd listen to that every freaking week.
Thanks guys. I can totally relate to the idea that sometimes the projects you put the most effort into don't perform as well as much simpler ones. Sometimes you just have to try it all and see what works out.
I've watched this 3x more, this is the best. It's so raw! No music, no nothing. Personal as it possibly can be.
On the topic of "worse" videos doing "better", I think there's a healthy balance for sure. For example, for most channels out there, yes, in many cases, there is definitely a draw to beautiful footage. I think we we can all agree that excellent color grading, perfect transitions, amazing scenery, and a whole lot of hefty equipment is appreciated in many cases. *BUT* I also think that a channel won't do "well" if the _only_ content being produced is stylized videos, because it's simply not relatable. I think in many cases, people are drawn in for the beautiful footage, but stay for the personalities, or because they can learn something. You have a perfect storm on this channel Peter, because not only do you have absolutely stunning footage, but you have a super likable personality, AND you tech us how to be better filmmakers too. There's something to admire, something to learn, AND someone who makes us feel welcome as a part of this channel. That's massive. I think for many channels (mine included), one or two of those boxes might be ticked, but not necessarily all three.
I agree with this. Peter is awesome at what he does for sure and theres something on this channel for almost everyone..
Completely agree
Spot on, his personality and the stories he tells is what keeps you. The beautiful footage alone I wouldn't subscribe for, but with his personality and storytelling hell yes
The hardest thing about starting out is finding a voice: "what do I want to say and offer?" and "how do I want to do it?" are harder questions than anything around how to shoot or edit
Wax Wings Photo yes, I agree. Guys like Peter and Casey have built up a reputation and skills to be able to call themselves authorities on what they are doing. And for the rest of us, who are just starting making videos, it can be hard to know what your voice is and what you want to tell. Or, at least that is what I struggle with. Why the hell would someone listen to me?
loved this. absolutely relatable and always a relief to hear from other creators about their process. you should do a podcast, man!
Agree!
Agree!
So so true, & we as creators forget this all the time. Thanks for making this!
Peter I absolutely loved this video! I’m starting my channel next month and hearing what you guys have to say about the creative process is so nice. Keep being you it’s the reason I watch your videos! 🙃
*A 33 MINUTE PETER MCKINNON VIDEO?*
Am I in heaven?
This is insanely helpful pete seriously. It's so good to see you guys talking about the difficulties. I'm a small TH-camr and I even see this on my videos the ones I just create and talk to the camera more got more views than the ones I spent ages doing. Keep inspiring guys 😁❤📽📷
Samuel Bassett totally agree!
I was just telling a friend this this evening .... You spent time creating a video and it has less views than The one you just spontaneously did
Ginny Williams it's so good to see bigger youtubers in the same situation as myself, it's made me feel more confident about my work after watching this. 📽
TayoAinaFilms when you over think you spend more time on it and it means you invested more time into making it so you feel like its better than the others. Which in some cases they are it's just so true. when your natural and show your personality people really enjoy it and want more.
This is so true.. You are very right
you guys are so much fun, loved it and I could relate to every single thing you guys said, I'm a very small youtuber from Egypt and the majority of my content is in Arabic but I've learnt so much from you Peter, thank you so much.
You guys should make a podcast!
Can’t do awesome b roll on podcast tho
I totally agree!! PLEASE, Peter and Chris! You guys are so insightful and amazing!
I have to add another vote to this - a podcast with these two (and maybe Matti sometimes, too) would be awesome!
seriously
Nick D sure you can, have been able to do a video podcast for the last 10 years
This is perfect I have a 30 minute bus ride.
I love this format! It almost feels like a podcast, anyone else feel like when your watching TH-cam you feel like you’re just hanging out with friends?
I've been putting off finishing my first vlog for weeks now because I'm a little awkward on camera. Watching this has actually given me the motivation to go out and finish it right now. Thank you so much you guys!
Thank so much to the both of you for this. Hearing such a candid, honest conversation between two creators really keeps an upcoming creator, such as myself, really grounded. Thanks for the perspective dudes!
You should think about making a podcast on TH-cam or spotify 🔥
Markus Lompa or ackor and post it to itunes
Best idea I’ve heard yet
Yessss
YES
I was thinking about this yesterday. I would love a podcast of either him or casey
Love this! I totally connect with the whole part of the Garage cleaning and mail getting videos doing well. I did a whole video about my wife and I buying a couch from Ikea and people seemed to love it more than a lot of my other videos! Such a funny thing!
This is great! I'm so glad to see creators remind us that it is not super easy all the time and encouraging everyone to try what they love. Thanks, Peter! This is perfect!
That's crazy, for the longest time I felt that my anxiety was inhibiting my work, but you hit the nail on the head that sometimes you have to get out of your comfort zone to get something fresh and organic. Thank you for this video guys, it's very encouraging to hear I'm not the only one who gets anxious during the creative process.
Over 30 minutes of Peter GOLD
Everything's on HOLD
😁
This was the most helpful video for new creators Pete has ever made. The tutorials are cool but this was *gold* !
You guys are so in tune to your creativity and it's so refreshing and eye-opening to witness how you both view the processes and problems that we all face as creators. Thank you for stepping up and stepping out of your comfort zones and showing us that we're all human here.
I think the best vlogs are those where the creator is able to engage and include the viewer in the conversation, even if they aren't there during the time of recording! I still have a long way to go and big thanks to the both of you for being an inspiration to all of us on this platform!
This is probably the most relatable thing I've ever listened to. Felt like I was part of the conversation. HAHA isn't it crazy how much we freak out about what we create when we should just GO. And the part about people being interested in the PERSON and not the shots = so eye opening.
lifelikejosie yesss, this is so true. I always have in my mind that I need to create something exactly as I have in my mind, because otherwise people will have all sorts of opinions about it. Turns out that I can’t ever tell what the audience will think of it. So yeah, it’s just better to DO!
Man I wish I could express just how much I needed to hear this! This was so on point for how I’ve been feeling. I feel like I swim in a constant sea of “nick page” and I just get so tired of my own voice I was actually contemplating making my next videos with none of my own dialogue. But you are absolutely right on all points in this video thank you so much man
Being a film student in their last year of college, this video was super refreshing to watch. I've been so boxed in for the last 3 years being told there's very specific ways to achieve your intentions. But when Chris and yourself got towards the end of the video and say things like, "having a balance between the shotlist and improve" really resonates with me. At the end of the day we're all creating art, and an essential piece of that creation is merely how it feels, not how it was done. I also think as creators we all naturally doubt ourselves but the doubt is what pushes us to make better content. Don't be too hard on yourself but understand that absolute certainty is the death of creativity.
Thanks Peter!
Rewatching this in late 2019 and it's a great reminder of how important personality is and how little b roll and cinematics matter. Thanks guys!
What a nice little 33 minute treat! Thanks Peter 👍
Why peter, why!? I was about to start work....
Interesting. Im about to got to bed. Have a great day bud
same
Please check out our Vlogs too. We travel with drones, Go Pros and much more. Let us know what you think. Always looking for feedback. Thanks.
Steven Cervantes “Procrastinate now... don’t put it off” 😂😂😂
Steven Cervantes same, guess I'll delay
I love how you're so humble Peter! It's really your personality that has kept me coming back to see your videos from over 5 years and also, your love of distributing knowledge as it is. You don't hold anything back. So even if you go to chase your dreams or just lemons, it's worth watching. One of my idols brother. El Respecto! Keep up the good work!
wow, probably one of my favourite videos on youtube!I love the fact that you two inspire,understand and help creative people to feel extra confident and make more videos!It feels like you are reading my thoughts even though we don't know each other!And what is even more amazing is the fact that there are people out there on the other side of the world that have the same thoughts as you and the same struggles as you and if it wasn't for youtube we would never be able to connect and talk with people we share the same passions with! thanx
This was one of the BEST videos created by todays creators. Should put everyone at ease with pressure & actually create genuine original art. You 2 vibe perfect!
When i Saw the thumbnail for this video i was like meh, but then i thought this is Peter mckinnon so ill watch it because i like his personality. The watch was totally Worth it.
Thanks to both of you for this very unique video! It always helps me to watch your tutorials, behind the scenes and other videos, but this one was very special to me. I could feel the raw and warm energy coming from you, the time and love you put just talking together and trying to share your knowledge to everyone out there, it's very special. Thank you again for helping me out, I just recently quit hospitality (which I've been doing for a very long time) to start a film course and pursue my dreams in a more artistic career. I'm so so happy I've found your channel very randomly in TH-cam and I got to follow some of your mates like Chris and Matti, you are all doing such an incredible job! Much love, good luck with everything and I wish you guys all the best!! From a big fan from the other side of the world, Melbourne, Australia.
One of the many reasons I watch your vids is because you make them genuine. It is the connection. And the other is the education vids you do. Both of those are the reason why I subscribe and watch all of your vids.
It’s not just the big aspects of your vids but also the small points of interest that you take great care of showcasing.
Keep it up!!!
This video will only be up for 5 minutes and people will be like: "Best video everrrr"...
Love chris's hair😍
I've already watched this video about 5 times, it's one of my favorites from the both of you and is so inspiring, it is EXACTLY what I've been needing lately. You guys are amazing, keep doing what you're doing, it's so inspiring!!
Mann.. This video helps SOOO much!! This is me EVERY day!! And the thing you guys spoke on about it being fun in the beginning but then it starts to get stressful! ME! It's so good to just KNOW that you're not alone in these battles with the creative process! Just to know other people struggle with the same things is like a huge exhale of relief and kind of allows me to stop.. and reset.. which is so important to do every so often. We have to be able to reach deep down and find that energy and general excitement that we had when we first started and remember that's what's important. I just started my channel but I have HUGE aspirations for what I want it to be so I put SOO much pressure on myself and sometimes I feel it paralyzing me! But this helps a lot! Thanks a lot, Peter and Chris! This is awesome! 😃
Yes! I love videos like this! Please do more vodcasts!
I'm diggin it, real is real never out of style. Thanks gents
i REALLY appreciated the humility shown in this. it made me feel better about where i am in my own creative process to hear you guys having the same thoughts, challenges, and random behind the scenes fiascos i'm constantly facing. i have a lot of respect for y'all making this!
This was a benchmark video. It brought definition to what used to be undefinable impressions in my own creative process. I have a new paradigm. Thank you guys!
I spend about 40 hours a week on youtube. Shooting a 3 camera cooking show, 3 times a week and then editing for 6-8 hours a video. I don't get many views hahah but the few videos that have done will have been me setting up a phone and doing the hot pepper challenge or a quick 2 camera Szechuan sauce video... so I can contest that hours in don't equate to hours out. But its still worth shooting and editing what you want versus chasing views .
I want to add that this was such a great watch Peter!! I loved hearing you two talk so candidly about youtube and your experiences. It really helps people trying to come up in the youtube world.
I just saw your channel you got my subscription
Billy Zurisk wow thank you!!
Saw your channel. Love your personality, man!
Sauce Stache your channel looks great. I’m in :)
You guys should make a podcast “ The Creative Process” sounds like a cool name for the podcast too!
Pgat3000 The Lemon Process
This is gold! Peter you have taught me so much and I absolutely love the content and memories that I'm making and will always continue to do so regardless of the success because the passion, and memories are PRICELESS!!! Thank you again Peter!! Keep up the GREAT work!
While watching this, I started posting on my photography page again. My writing ideas for my next videos. I feel so incredibly creative again. Thank you guys ♥️🙌🏼
I just had this type of discussion with a new engineer at work yesterday...
Different medium but the same concept, paying forward your own lessons to make it easier for those that follow. I saw the fire in this kid’s eyes about becoming a great engineer... so I fed him the shortcuts I wish someone had told me 12 years ago. Was a great time...
Much appreciated sirs! Y’all should totally start throwing some Jimmy Fallon type skits in your videos... homage pieces, random comedy stuff... y’all are built for it, can’t wait to see what you do!
SIGMOND I’m an engineer to haha. Very cool!
33 minutes, gotta clear my schedule
lol, play it on 1.25 speed, it doesnt really make a difference and you can save some time
...followed immediately by swiping your arm across the desk until it's cleared. "There. That oughta do it."
"Janet, cancel all my meetings" :D
Love the authenticity and "realness" of this! Plus the concepts and advice mentioned are SUUUUUUUPER helpful and nice to hear, especially from guys who are doing so well and making amazing work!
Honestly, I just loved this video cause it was so personal and real, the one take was just awesome, u guys have great personalities, thanks for sharing them!
Im a simple guy, I see a Peter McKinnon video, I click it fast af. 😉
Dual-pixel auto focus fast!
Peter is the best haha
I think your quest for perfection is the symptom of a filmmaker. You have great talent and you have a growing platform...and you have to touch the world and you know it. That makes it hard for you to sleep I suppose! I relate to your words. What a great video. Editing the footage together here....fantastic.
LittlePoet 🙌
As an improviser myself, it was awesome to hear someone talk about “yes and” in regards to creating content and the creative process! 🙌
Thanks so much for doing this Chris and Peter you guys are both amazing artists in your own way. I highly respect you guys so much and am grateful for continuing the learning process on how to make better videos for my channel. I've worked long and hard in doing so and hope one day it will pay off. Right now though it isn't but I can never give up and keep on going. Thanks again you 2 you are seriously awesome!
Really solid stuff gents! Can relate to so much of this.
Hey Caleb! Your here?! I love you videos :D
DSLR Video Shooter Riiight!! I love these guys, they are so helpful and relatable
Caleb likes Peter!!!! you tube just got so much better. Love your stuff Caleb.
Heyo! Thanks!
Of course I do!
Really enjoyed this talk, more of these! :)
It’s so true that personality is king. I keep coming back to your vids because I want to keep being inspired by you!
I love that I always leave your channel learning something or looking from a different perspective!
This is the most relatable video EVER! I'm my own worst enemy and perfectionist! I've been sitting on a few projects and losing energy in the edits. Going to look at changing my work ethic... slightly. Still want to create great looking content!
This is a podcast. I would definitely subscribe to a Peter McKinnon podcast.
I watched this at the gym just listen to it like the podcast I normally listen to and it’s so motivational and inspirational. Thank you guys, you both rock the game !! Bless
I resonate with so much here... the perfectionism, the pressure, the challenge to make something more raw and less polished, the languishing of ideas, the expectations we put on ourselves as creators. Thanks for opening up and starting this conversation. I love all of your gorgeous videos, but this is the first time I’ve felt compelled to comment so I think you are on to something here. Keep being awesome.
these things happen with every youtuber. no matter if it's a small creator or a big one. but it's worth the effort. get an idea execute it.
You guys are right! I always go back to The Office for Michael Scott’s personality. In fact, I’m gonna go watch it for the 27th time!
This is my one of my favoritest video of PM Channel. So Authentic and Honest
Great video! I loved hearing yours and Chris' perspective. Plus, it was the first video of yours that I could listen to and my eyes didn't need to be glued to the screen. I love your epic B-roll and your tutorials, but this was a great way to switch things up. Thank you for the inspiration!
Thanks for sharing guys. I loved it!
I'm to hard on myself too.
We are all humans.
This video was excellent. Great advice: I struggle with the same stuff on my own channel. Killing it on relatability. BTW, quite enjoyed this format - I just turned off the video and listened to this like a podcast!
To put it into perspective, I listened to this video while getting ready this morning. Sure, I watched parts, but you’re insight and personality are why I consume your content. I’m going to start my vlog soon and you are helping me get better at the technical and creative stuff. I appreciate you!
Hey Peter, please do more of these every once and awhile. It's inspiring to see skilled people like you guys be so transparent and raw and unedited.
DO MORE OF THESE podcast kind of videos! YAS
There are so many things in this video that I can relate to as a creator. Thanks for this creative revitalization!
This was literally my favorite video of yours to date, I think so many people can relate to so much of this, thanks for putting it out there!
Amazing video! It is so good to hear what goes into your minds, amazing creators. I would love to see this more often actually. Q&A, live streams and this kind of stuff are great! Could seat here for another half an hour listening to you guys talking!
You Guys are awesome!!!
So the sum up to a creative and successful career on TH-cam and life is: go chase a lemon.
5:50 I agree about personality. My fave from Matti is him and his bro and *that sweet, sweet bokeh.* Their humor/personality really showed through.
I can honestly say from the bottom of my heart this video meant so much to me. As someone who is a perfectionist and my own worst enemy, this definitely made me feel a lot better. Peter, you continue to become one of my absolute favorite people to watch on youtube and inspire to me to strive to do something in video as my career. Amazing talk from start to finish.
loved this!
Mom
I loved that..🔥🔥
Thank you for making this. I make music in my room and this could not apply more to how that works for me. The good stuff comes at times when I'm not trying too hard. It all comes from when I can feel things out and not have to think about my every move or plan out my every move. You guys are awesome.
Nothing is more interesting than authentic people doing their thing. No pretense. The talent just rolls out of you.
Peter McKinnon podcast...please!
Janky - I honestly haven't heard that since the 90's! :o) It was a common phrase in London.
Prince Westerburg remember 👍🏻
It made me think of Scooby Doo.
I feel like I started hearing again on the show High Maintenance.
Chris Johnson that’s “Jinkies” haha
True, but it still brought it to mind. LOL ;)
Honestly one of my top favorite videos from you man. Watched it all the way through, and like much of your other stuff, it really inspired me. What you said is so true man. Keep up the good work
Such a great video! I have spent tons of time watching videos about 'how to TH-cam' and I think this has been one of the most inspiring!
Battle of the badass hair! 🤘
34 minutes? This is gonna be good...
33:47*
I really admire you pete for your creativity and mantaining connections with your viewers.. I am starting to watch all your videos.. But what i really admire the most is your personality and your willingness to share all your learnings to others. Lovelots. More power!
I'm SO GLAD you did this video! The content was so valuable and relatable and inspiring! It looked great but what really stood out for me was feeling like we were sitting down as creative "friends" talking about about the ups and downs of being creative. It was really great! Please do more videos like this! I'm an actress and I love the concept of saying "yes and" for the creative process of acting but I never thought about applying this to my edits. I'm so excited to jump back into creating videos. I also have a billion ideas on my phone and excel spreadsheets and post it notes and notebooks....it's pretty crazy. So this video was really inspiring.
it seems the projects I put most preparation into, when I finally go to talk to the camera, my energy is just not good because I've thought about what I am going to say, where as if I have an idea sporadically and go to film my energy is pure and true and I enter the flow state and the audience can tell and I always have more likes on those vids
Thats what im saying.. Before clicking on vid, i thought whos gonna watch that 33min video, and thought im gonna watch only for 3-4 mins... And
I would say i really enjoyed and LIKED the video and watch the whole 33mins talk..😊😊
Recently subscribed to you and i love watching your videos. Pure gold man with the tutorials, the conversations, you're artistic style and direction. Thanks for the inspiration and motivation Peter!
This is so relatable!… Really love this just down to earth raw feel. And it was extremely encouraging and I was glad to watch the whole thing start to finish. Well done gentlemen.
