Ahhhh, yours is one of the only channels on youtube that makes me feel refreshed and light after I watch its content.

I always find myself smiling by the end of your videos. I really appreciate no intro/outro in videos, as well. The wink is *chef’s kiss* perfection. 😁

awesome - no intro, no asking for liking and subscribing, genuine/authentic content, superb editing (when there is 2 of you is my favourite way you play with the videos), no annoying and loud music that makes me watch so many videos on mute, no boring sponsor shit, calm and serene but not boring and no fake excitement like on tv commercials.

Lefie, when I first started watching utube, your channel was in my feed. I remember it was about minimalism, I live simply, so I watched and I liked and subscribed, I appreciated you didn’t ask to like and subscribe to,your channel ( it’s a pet peeve of mine) you have such a calming way about you, commercial free, and I just find you so interesting, and watching you is like taking a xanex lol your so calming . I have no interest in van life, but I watched you working on your van, i love every single video you create. I just love everything about you. Keep up the great work, and most of all the famous WINK 😉

I love that you don't have an intro/opening sequence or outro/end card thing. They are so useless really. Adds zero value for me.

I will take your advice as your professional advice - your aesthetic/quality of story is incredible.

😊 Thank you, Susanne!

This channel does not receive enough attention for the quality it is

I’ve been a follower since your uniform video last year and I totally followed you because you’re the accessible, lighthearted and relatable minimalist role model I need in my subscriptions 😄 I was just thinking about other minimalist you tubers - if I see another Aesop hand soap bottle or flat lay of every Apple product these minimalists own I might start my own channel!

Hahaha, thanks Phil! I could probably do a mini Apple flat lay, so I can't comment on that... 😂

@@Lefie haha and I still would be a follower!

You honestly seem to be the most chill person on the planet!

😂 Yup! I’ve never liked a video because someone asked me to!

I like the natural energy you have to caught our attention without needing to shout to the camera like 99.9% of youtubers do, and also the fact that you do this for hobby, keeps you real with the content and duration of your videos (I love short videos though, but I also enjoy long ones if the content is honest and not compromised by the ad revenue). PS. You asked for tips & tricks to share, so here are my two cents: I'd only say that the sound of your ambient mic has felt a little "off" on your latest videos. I don't think it's a hardware problem, perhaps just EQ on postproduction. Maybe boosting the bass a little bit would do the trick, or throwing a Compressor into the mix to make your voice clearer and louder as it is on your voiceovers. I don't really know how to improve that since I don't personally edit that much as you do, but hypothetically that might help on your audio quality :)

I've been watching minimalist videos for years and yours stand out

Genuine and realistic...

"It feels like a video game" I feel the same way about editing! It's one of those things that feels like a puzzle perfectly geared towards my interests. It's the part of creating videos that I look forward to the most. I can't tell you the number of times I've continued editing clips that I knew I was going to pitch just because I enjoy it.

Your organic and authentic self definetely reflects in the content you put out here. I always smile when I see you shared a video before even watching, and I think its the best reaction you can ever create in a viewer. I wouldn't say your "effortless effort" is what makes it so enjoyable to watch - because the word has lost its meaning since more people STRIVE to be effortless around here a lot lately - but it really kinda is. Maybe its because you really enjoy this hobby yourself and we enjoy watching someone who creates what she enjoys. Anyways, continue creating stuff just as it is girl and thanks for making me smile!

your voice is so relaxing! thank you so much for sharing, I really learned a bunch of great tips.

LOL Never bother to nag you about the echo on your previous videos. I was like WOW Lefie really goes hard on the barely minimum possessions. as ALWAYS great authentic video delivered. much love from Argentina

Hey Lefie, The Periodic Table extra credit video we all worked on was a great time in high school. Love your videos and glad you’ve continued this hobby! 😊

Nice. I am fairly new to KZread! I appreciate you sharing! Thank you! 👍😘🐾🐾

Love your genuine approach to your videos. Feels like old KZread, when it was about the fun of making the thing, rather than how much you can make. Thanks for the entertainment Lefie :)

I've always wanted to make videos but have been clueless where to start. This was really helpful!

Love all yours videos. Most of all is that you are so raw .

Why, thank you! 😊

Its was mind blowing to me to experience that a 4 minute video takes hours and hours and hours to produce. I always thought is a piece of cake :) Thanks for this! Really genuine

Your videos are what I had hoped KZread would be--authentic, creative, and inspiring, without all the slick BS. I appreciate that you don't waste the first two or three minutes explaining why you didn't upload on time, or saying "what you are about to see is the result of...", or babbling to someone off-camera. And without ads and sponsorships, yours is one of the all-too-rare pure channels out there. This is how it's done. You make 'em, I'll watch 'em.

I like your videos because they're short, sweet, and to the point. I'm also drawn in by your personality because you come off as so chill and authentic, it's like a breath of fresh air!

I love your videos, they are simple and real, very entertaining, look forward to each of them. Thank you.

Yayyy, new video! Even if you're not a "youtuber" per se, you're slowly becoming one of my faves. 🤷‍♀️

Thanks, Lefie, for the information...and the lightheartedness. I find myself smiling back at you as I watch. 😉

What I really enjoy about your videos is this beautiful honesty and yes, the lightheartedness. This one is no exception and I really like the way you go over the stuff as well as the process. Nicely done.

Your calmness is contagious. I’ve enjoyed all of your videos and am always disappointed when they end because I want more. Hearing you talk about being told to like and subscribe makes me want to see a full on Lefie venting video or a pet peeves video. Always great content, very polished, super interesting, and very well executed

I Love your vid's! very inspirational and as you mentioned: you are authentic and make your audience curious ... hope to see more of you soon 😎

New video from Lefie ! 😉 Exactly what I needed today with this new lockdown in France, a nightmare for so many people including myself so you gave me back my smile and energy. Bon courage to you, to everyone. Fighting 🤗🖖🌏🌈

Could you do a video on renting vs buying a home as a minimalist?

You're clothing choices are of high taste, black hoodie is always an elegant piece. Like your videos very much! Keep it up!

I LOVE the way you do your videos. I laughed out loud at your description of how it makes you feel when you are told to like and subscribe 🤩. I feel exactly the same way! How refreshing to hear someone else say it.

This video was very satisfying, I've been hoping you might make a video on how you make your videos. I love that your approach to filming and editing (presentation) is minimal, while acknowledging that filming and editing take a great deal of time and energy. Your comments on intros and the obligatory "please like and subscribe" pleas of so many creators resounds with me, though this is the first time I've heard anyone else express this. The results you achieve are excellent, a testament to good storytelling and respect for your audience.

Gracias por todos y cada uno de los videos.

Agree with you, Lefie... I like how you live your life, and it gives inspiration, for sure!!! Continue to do what you love to do... 😉😉😉 👍👍👍

Thanks for this! I’m new at this and love ALL advice, but especially admire your work. Also been a subscriber since your first vid 😉

Thank you so much for posting this. You've given me a LOT of information, clearly and concisely. I've always enjoyed your channel, so thank you for your work! (If I knew how to write that clicky thing that you do at the end, I would put it here.)

Yea I need that board thing in the thumbnail .. love your videos!!

Totally real. Thanks.

Keep doing what you're doing. It's working.

No pressure, but I would please like a video to be released on Christmas Eve. My preference is a sequel to Odd Bird.

I like your channel bc you make cool videos and you seem chill. I am happy to stick around here because you don't have that overwhelming on-camera persona that's weirdly shouty, and I don't have to wade through a sales pitch about this aaaamazing product to get to the meat of your stuff. Crazy! Unheard of!

Thank you ! Merci ! What you say here does help me for what I’m trying to do on Instagram (French pronunciation). And thank you for all your videos in general.

Thank you for the info I've never made a video but it sounds really fun!

Merry Christmas Lefie!😉

I love your videos so much! They're just so refreshing. Simple yet informative 😊 Also I've been wanting to get into this for some time. My dad's a photographer/videographer so I have access to, I guess high end equipment? but... I've been too lazy and busy with exams. Hopefully soon! 😆

I used to desperately wish I was like you, the kind of person who scripts, films, and edits within a neat little time frame. But honestly...I do enough of that at work! I'm held to making a video per week about stuff I don't actually care about, for my day job - I like making KZread videos because they give me the large amount of time to make the things I actually enjoy!

Amazing Content ❤ Thank you for the advice

I love how persistence you are on what you're doing! And hey Lefie, your aura is positive and calm. btw! Keep it up ;)

Happy New year 🙋‍♀️

Where I live as I work in the morning by 3pm it is totally dark in winter. So I had to buy a sofbox

i love your humor ❤️😂

Hey, you're such a maverick and I like that.

*I wish you a happy new year Lefie😘😘💗*

Great site.

What people don't realize is that this was a Halloween special vid but because she's so minimalist you couldn't notice.

Oh, this tickled me totally. I started a KZread channel (very) recently, -initially with an old GoPro, -an iPhone 8, -and teaching myself iMovie as I went. And yes, Epidemic Sound, but no microphone! There's no Like or Subscribe request (those also uh, jar with me far too often) but I do like to wish folks well at the end - and thank them for watching (I'm always really grateful as, unless you have an interest in both my part of the World (a tiny island) and an introverted life (with lots of cats, ahem..) then I'm probably not "your cup of tea"... and my lack of experience presently runs the risk of making my channel a hard watch at the moment! 😅🤦‍♀️ Really fun - and heartening - watch Lefie, thank you!

So true about the like and subscribe thing. I enjoy your videos, wish i had the confidence to film myself lol. Maybe one day, thanks for sharing.

Oh oh oh! A question! What KZreadrs do you enjoy watching?

We miss your updates; I hope your coming back, I need some encouragement to stay on my minimal journey! Best wishes

cool, I am from Indonesia! I appreciate what you did!

Ah I was looking for something like Epidemic Sound. thx for the advice :)

I prefer being off camera so I'd probably make videos without narration or me in them and film other things with subtitles and crisp ambient sound like bird song, rustling, footsteps...Or Music. But minimalist and sustainable and art based content seems to be what I'd like to do.

If you don't want to keep paying for Adobe, I suggest Davinci Resolve. It has a really robust free version that contains virtually all of the features you'll need, comes with a ton of fun color tools to mess with if that's your thing, and you know free. Biggest draw back I'd say is that there's a bit of a learning curve if you're coming from Premiere

Keep it simple keep it simple. Thank you 🙏 😂😂😂😂

When you currently shoot on the "back in college" camera. Lol. I use a T2i and a Vixia HF 4700 now.

👍

good to know u dont have any other social media, i have never had an instagram and i believe it whould just mess up my mental health i really hate self-improvement people asking stuff, anyway lots of love from Brasil

Niceee

Happy New year! How are you?

Yes, this is gonna be a good on! Haha

Great content!!! I just sub in your channel! I love the fact i finally found the female version of Matt Davela :)

Oh wow, thanks a lot for the advice. I might start my own Minimalist - History/political/Atheism channel soon.

Ooooh ooooh. Da Vinci Resolve. 🙂🙂

Could you share any of your work? Always been curious of your other artwork.

I really really like your videos. Hope you are doing well :)

Sometimes natural sounds are better though :) agree with you concept trumps execution

I liked when you said like and subscribe.

Hey, fellow content creator and editor here. Just wanted to point out that if you're going to talk about your gear, both hardware and software, you can always use affiliate links. Feel free to have a look at my video descriptions if you want to see how you can do it without being annoying about it 🤔 I enjoy your content, so if you want some guidance on the topic, feel free to reach out to me and I'll be happy to answer any questions you have on it 👍

I made videos all by my phone and the editing app on the phone! and a free phone holder when necessary. So I can edit videos when I take a break or on the subway. But this is not the long-term solution. I have to change

do you delete all the raw footage after making final video or how you store them?

What is the large monitor you have @6:35 that is almost horizontal?? I've never seen something like that before

What’s the big square thing on your desk?

What do you do for work? Your cintiq suggest you’re in one of the design fields, and as a designer myself, I’m really curious!

Windows movie maker was great 👍

Thanks for not asking for our likes and stuff. I never do when a creator asks us to either.

nice video. I would like to recommend davinci resolve as a deep piece of editing software that is completely free

Lefie we luv you

I like your videos because they are unique. I'm also glad your not always trying to sell me something.

👏🏼✌🏽🙏🏽❤

Maybe mix up how you close the video...I do enjoy your approach. Well done.

What was with the pink light?

what skin care do you own?

You look like Ellie on the Last of Us II

LOL I feel like my channel would be annoying af to you after watching this. However, I will keep my integrity and keep lighting up 😂😂 this was quite relaxing.

Obligatory 'I've never been this early before' comment, I guess. Yay!
