D4Darious is that needle in a haystack. God, I pray he breaks the glass. He's humble, creative, experienced, a great motivator and an eloquent speaker. I learned everything about lenses, focal points, f-stops and operating a camera from him.

Right but, problem is when life gets in the way. Of course, all those who success will tell you "keep on doing what you love", but that is not always possible. You have bills to pay, children to care about or whatever, and jumping from what brings food to your home into what brings joy to your mind is not always possible. I, for once, used to try and get this runner girl's number but life got in the way (nope... I never forgot :-P).

Thank you Seanothan. Keep learning and growing Bruh-bruh.

“In-expensive mistakes with time and failure” is great advice

damn this literally inspired me to finally shoot the film i’ve been trying to “perfect”

I remember watching D4D waay back years ago, and kinda dismissed him as outtta my league - i mean he like Will Smith - so cool and charming, makes plastic frames look good! But it's the "do what you preach" persistence that keeps me coming back to learn more and watch his journey. Thank you Brutha.

I feel like he’s the David Goggins of film and cinematography. Super inspirational all the time

Great timing ! I needed to hear this

Thank you for sharing. Definitely needed this.

The endless quest for knowledge. Loving the message.

Great insights! Thanks for sharing.

This was incredible general advice!

Thanks man needed this

I love this channel.man you always offer value

Thanks for this video, extremely well said!

Amazing advice. I'm going to remind myself to watch this whenever I'm feeling behind or discouraged.

Good stuff - love this. Thanks for sharing.

Great advice!!! Thank you!!!!!

Love your pragmatic approach. Thank You!

Love you for the honest talk buddy

Great advice bro, thank you for sharing

I’m so excited to watch content from all my favorite creatives during this time.... thanks for the upload ✊🏿

Spitting bars. Good stuff 💪🏾

Brilliant! I'm a software engineer of 35 years and the "fail fast" mantra is key to learning fast. Now, as a novice video maker, I'm at the bottom of the learning curve (I mean I just discovered the importance of audio 3 weeks ago) and I'm glad to hear that the same principles of learning apply just a much in the video world!

I had to watch this again as a pep talk and to get my focus again. Thank you D4Darious.

From one filmmaker to another... I needed this video. Thank you.

Man I love you just rewatching some of your old videos after I saw this new one reminds me how much I've missed your videos has taught me more than I've ever learnt from any other place and it hit me hard and reassured me when you said you're going to fail a lot if times you just can't get over it by getting tutorials

Great video, brother. Keep up that good work 💪🏽

Ur definitely the truth! When my time comes, I’m coming 2 see u fam! Richest blessings!

I love your channel and this video really helped me thank you!

Brilliant!!! Thanks for sharing.

You're such an inspiration man! not just in terms of your drive and motivation but also your personality, you make the whole film-making process seem way less daunting. So thank you for all of these videos, but most importantly thank you for being yourself!

Bro this video has hit me where I needed it

This is by far the REALEST advice that cuts across all endeavors. Good looking out bro

I really understand your concepts bro. I just keep forgetting so this was a great reminder!

Awesome as usual 👌🏾

Great video! Mindset is such a huge factor in any pursuit.

Appreciate the wisdom and the many gems you dropped!

This is perspective-changing stuff.. Thank you

Great information bro keep up the good work

Genuine youtuber, atleast what I feel. Useful content ,cheers D

Absolutely love your advice Darious! Your info is gold! It not only applies to film making, but life in general. I was feeling a little down today regarding my own projects, but your advice perked me up. Thank you so much! I'm ready to move forward more than ever now.

I needed this man. Thank you!!!

Love the golden nuggets you just dropped here. THANK YOU!!

Thanks i really needed to hear this

Man, you somehow put everything I needed to hear right now into a video. Keep doing what you're doing; it inspires so many independent artists out there to keep working.

I’m picking up what you are throwing at me! Great tips Darious! I’m currently in the works on my first Short! I started with weddings, then I moved on to Commercials. I have now started filming my first short & I also post video editing tutorials on KZread as well! Thanks for the advice! Keep killing it Man! 💪🏼🎥🎬

Really needed to see this today Darious, Thank you bro.

You give me chills sometimes, bro. Thank you for your teachings.

Great stuff D4. Your videos never disappoint. Learn something every rip! Kp it up!!!!

Great content. I’ve really enjoyed your videos over the years. Keep it up!

Love the "Sandbox" mentality!! Giving yourself time where it's just you and the camera experimenting and failing, that's like what sports players do on the field. It goes along with my favorite Magic School Bus quote: Take Chances, Make Mistakes, Get Messy!!!

This is literally my best video from you so far. So much truth in one video! Wow! Thanks for this

thank you! This is very helpful!

I love it D! Being humble and starving to continue to learn and grow is the key.

You are the MAN! Thanks for the kick butt encouragement. Gotta go fail and learn.

Thank you man, the exact words i need to hear

This is some greta advice. The growth mindset is so worth having and maintaining. Thanks!

Bruh, out of all of your videos and all the other things I've read and watched...this was the best. Great stuff here.

Wow you're videos always amaze me! Such valuable information in a short package :) Love it

Newww to your page. Soooo hyped!

Super valuable advice in here man, thank you so much. I find that this advice also applies to most hobbies. Also, I really respect how engaging and interesting you made this video when a lot of people would take your room and script and just make a boring talking head video. So good.

Man, I never realized what I had until just now. Growth Mindset, I am constantly learning new things and seeking them out. Great advice as always my man.

Thank you Darius for such a motivational and inspirational video. I’m a beginner who keeps learning from you

Great Video! 100% on point.

This is Gold. To share these insights is truly generous. Another invisible craft.

Excellent knowledge and advice my friend, thank you for sharing!

Darious spitting knowledge in this video! So glad I watched this because I think my mindset has been off for a while. Thanks so much for this one!

Awesome stuff Darius, I just made my second short film. Doing it exactly the way you said, writing, directing, producing, self funding everything myself. Your videos have been really helpful. Thanks heaps! Keep up the great work

Yours is one of my best channel and you just did it again. well done D
