Learned a ton from you this year! Best wishes in 24

This is one of the channels that gave me the courage to start my KZread channel 10 months ago about self development. Now I have 1,853 subs and > 2k hours of watch time. I know it’s not comparable with others but I’m still proud I started because I’ve been learning so many lessons that I could haven’t learned without getting started in the 1st place.

@@QueenBluntdanae Whoever you are, I don't know you personally but I can say that you're one of the non-judgmental and open-minded people who is not fixated on tangible or external factors in order to learn from someone like me. Just because someone doesn't have a piece of paper as a credential, doesn't mean that person is not entitled to share personal experiences with the hope & intention to inspire others. Keep up with whatever it is that you're doing to improve mankind or improving your life even to a slight degree each day. This is just one part of a bigger puzzle for creating my KZread channel about holistic health. I literally could have died back when I was 14 years old due to major depression but here I am right now replying to you, a KZreadr, who's full of fulfillment and dedication to help others to be a better version of themselves. I ain't better than anyone else but my old self. That's all that really makes this KZread thing more meaningful and enjoyable. Thanks so much for your support! I am hoping that you can join me with this endless personal development journey! :)

@@isaacdavis987 Thank you! I had so many fears even before I started and I still have fears. I am still an introvert but what I really focus on is the value of the content and what I’m truly passionate about while helping others! I'm glad that I'm foolish enough to believe that I can actually start making money through my passions. I've never thought that I'd able to gain 1K subs faster. I can't imagine how many opportunities could have been wasted if I didn't have courage to go after them. That includes having this channel, being in a management role, having the people who actually care about me for who I am, freelance gigs, being an ambassador in a creative community and now I'm also planning on honing my public speaking skills through joining a toastmaster club and these all happened this year. It started with writing them all down on a piece of paper. A paper that serves as a reminder for me to go after what I want even through hard times. I'm not bragging about my accomplishments but simply hoping that this message can also inspire others to believe in themselves.

I’m no videographer, just a hairstylist trying to learn new ways to film. Thanks for the video, it was informative and great!

I love how you’re, essentially destigmatizing what it means to be a filmmaker and creator. We don’t need all the bells and whistles to make something special as long as the story mean, something to you, then it is special! Props!

This is one of the best videos I’ve seen in a while bro. I can see how much work you put into it and it shows

This is quite literally one of the best videos I’ve seen on KZread

Only 3 and a half minutes in and I'm already blown away. Feels like taking a hyper-efficient, cool, extremely easy to understand film class. Hats off to you, man.

I love how each tip was also an example of a cinematic shot, instead of just talking in front of a camera. You actually showed examples.

Bro, this is literally top 3 videos you've ever created. This is good info for videographers and filmmakers alike. You did ya thang on this one!

W's all 2024. Filming yourself is not easy, neither is getting the right shots. This is a great video for independent filmmakers wanting to master the craft of filmmaking and yake it to the next level. Thanks for sharing your knowledge brother, its highly appreciated.

CapCut been my bff😂 great vid!

The amount of time, and dedication that went into creating this 16-minute video YC! Seriously respect!! Appreciate everything you've been doing on this channel to teach others.

Editing & I need a break 🖥️.. this came right on time 👍🏽 .. Professor YC 🎓🎓

This dude is flawless!!! This has to be the best cinematic explanation on KZread 💯

Great ideas. I especially like that you talk about what's right and wrong in the scenes you've shot. Very useful.

W's all 2024 as one black man to another I want to truly say thank you for ALL the material you've been putting out for what.....7/8 years now? Man, I stumbled on to one of your videos by accident one day and been following ever since. Your channel is extremely informative, inspirational and a great source for someone like myself who's trying to produce great material. Thank you for all that you do my brother!!

100% agree with you bro

One important tip for y'all aspiring film makers out there is to really just jump in and experience trial and errors first hand, experience is such a good teacher!

W’S ALL 2024! I am a dark-skinned black man, and one of my worries have been making sure I'm shooting myself in good lighting. To see you shoot some of your scenes in low light or darkness has been mind-blowing for me. New subscriber here.😊

You have a great way of explaining concepts in a natural and easily understandable way and I love how you demonstrate it so we can learn. 👍

Man. I LOVE the way you put this together. Crazy how clean the audio is with that mic. Love that you are explaining WHILE you capture these shots. Inspiring. Subscribing

Pretty cheap mic too! Must have some post production clean up tho!

This is probably one of the best videos on KZread using a subject to explain a subject. You explaining a concept with it actively in motion brings a whole different level of understanding and links to certain tools and hardware makes sourcing easy. Immediately subscribed, thanks for the content.

W’s all 2024, this was such a great video. The shots were 🔥 and the story flowed smoothly with so many gems in it. Just hit the thumbs up

Your videos have a lit a fire under to get back out there to film again. I had to take a break, almost fresh out of college, to care for my parents. Now, I owe to myself (and they are now pushing me) to utilize the talents I have.

I don’t film but the cinematics of this entire video made me watch all the way to the end. Yes I made it. I make music and what I liked about this was you can show what you want something to look like. With music it’s sometimes hard to convey with words how you want something to sound. Very well made and edited video. 10/10😊

Your dedication truly shines through in this video. It's evident that you've poured your heart and soul into creating it, and the result is nothing short of remarkable. I genuinely appreciate the effort and passion you've invested in making this content outstanding.

New subbie here! You won me at the tripod... and the overthinking... that is definitely me!

Loved this, thank you

A motorized slider is perfect for what I need, especially vertical, & before watching this video I was about to spend 3 times as much on a drone indoors in hopes that it would do the vertical slide. Thank you!

The script was great, the transitions between shots were fluid and intuitive, the insight is helpful... and the footage is candy. Beautiful light. Great job, man. Happy New Year's... W's all 2024.

I had absolutely no intentions on filming myself until I stumbled across this video by mistake. great content fr

Beautiful film 🎉

I've watched a lot of "film yourself" videos. But, this one has some of the most useful and creative suggestions I've seen so far. Thanks so much. Oh, and yes, I watched the whole video. :)

I appreciate it!

The darker shots, the quality and the "stillness" and "still movement" of the shots create a lot of intimacy. It has a really strong "Brooklyn's Finest" vibes. Very good, I'd love to see a whole movie like this.

Thanks for the inspiration 🙏🏻

I've been in the game for 7 years PA'ing .... Producing and Directing... Finally, I'm taking the DP plunge.. I've been watching your channel for years. Still very dope value adding tips.. salute

W'S All 2024! Easily one of the BEST pages I found for filming Hands-down. From the filming, visuals, attention to details, and as you said the philosophy of bringing it all to life, first in vision/in your mind, and then creatively in practice. Having some sort of creative process/visual foundation and philosophy GOING into things really helps. At this point I can't remember the initial video I seen from you but have been drawn in ever since to the particulars of film! It may have been the "Why Your Videos DON'T Look Like Films..." TL;DR. I really feel like one can see the process of envisioning everything then going out there to execute it and all else editing it down to a finalized product when it's broken down as you did/do. Making sure to get as much shots as needed not shying away from having a bit more footage than you know you may need for sure helps; obviously within reason. I was loving the spur of the moment ideas too such as at 13:30 with the back of the car shot making with it what you could get even if not the exact desired shot. Some things just come to mind then and there and make for some dope shots. I do nothing at all even this extensive or detailed but do appreciate just how much goes into everything as I get more into filming with more of a thought process. It's easy to sit back and watch something and then to actually think about how every single shot seen, even the split second ones that come and go are often intentional vs just some point and shoot process. Obviously for filming such pieces that is noticeable, but even now for the action sports filming I watch I can see the mix of vague point and shooting vs drawn out attention and forethought to filming it in a particular way that may look random and or not as specific, but actually is...I'm YAPPING too much now, but I can't even imagine the editing down of all these clips, even with a solid workflow and familiarity with a program, end of day that editing process is some realllll work with something this detailed lmao. This is all more obvious but I'm yapping from a absolutely clueless perspective to the point I had no idea what color grading was and so many other things people do and just found out about SLOG 3 and, holy carpal tunnel! It's like I'm zoomed in seeing a handful of things and the more and more I learn the more I start to zoom out slowly and see more and more and more just how much work goes into EVERY aspect of film/photography, all the intricate details from again filming to editing. I see the cluster F* of work that makes me appreciate things a lot more. It's the difference between taking a S* that takes a few minutes and then understanding the actual process of every system in the body that allows for such. (Or doesn't, fiber up folks, that's how I have this much time to schizo type all this 🤠) Again informative, instructive, solid tips/tricks, as well as diving into what you mention vs just saying it with no explanation and not yapping on and on like I did 🫠

Inspirational man. You actually breaking down what you used and how you did it is very much appreciated! Keep putting out amazing videos.

Outstanding.

So much value in this thank you!

Hi mate I've been watching your channel for years and very rarely drop a comment. My new years resolution is to show respect to people like yourself on your creations and sharing of knowledge. I'm a photographer who in that last few year has stepped in the world of filming. I have gain so much knowledge from the content you have shared. I love this video which gives me confidence in the projects I'm working on as I'm using similar set ups. I'm wishing you a great 2024. I'm alway tuned in to your out put. Nice one.

You have an incredible gift, sir. Your delivery and cadence is so calming and easy to follow. I may not ever get to do this but if so I am turning to this video.

Thanks for the tips!

Amazing shots and tips, Thanks a lot! Much love to you!

Loved the switch to the ‘Editor’ POV, voice over video narration at the end. And I really enjoyed the break down of the inside car shot, earlier in the video I saw that and thought “yo, that shot is dope”. I hugely appreciate your content, it’s always highly inspirational and packed with value from beginning to end. More power to you in 2024!

W's all 2024. Bro the amount of gems you have compressed in this segment is incredible. Not to mention the fact you used amazing cinematography to demonstrate amazing cinematography! This a great piece of content and very educational. Thank you!

Awesome and great learning thank you man!

Great video - So much thought and generousity. Appreciated

This video gave me goosebumps at several points throughout and I don't say that lightly; thank you for the education and showing how to truly encapture yourself on camera by yourself, it shows and you can feel it if you're a creative as well

I'm not in a position to say you're the best videography/cinematography tutorial on this platform, but you're definitely the best for me! The way you explain things is on point in ways I think many others lack. This isn't to knock other similar channels. Just to give you your props 💯

thanks for fueling my excitement. very impactful. thank you.

I absolutely love the way you captured and rendered this video! It's stellar and I'm excited to incorporate some of the lessons you shared here. Thank you Chrystopher!

I love watching these videos for fun but shout out for the God Tier integration with capcut, that was so seamless. Great video!

I got so much more out of this video than most. It was so cool that the explanations you were giving were so well represented in the actual video

Simple and perfect 💪🙏🏻👍

Really appreciated this video!

The complexity of every shot and the color is outstanding! I'd love to be on this level but it's like a whole other craft in itself, coming from a photographer. I've been trying to get more into filming and its tough. It takes a lot of time and patience, but I know with any creative art you have to put in the practice. Dope video bro! W's ALL 2024!

Also like to add that I have a lot of creative ideas for filming but have a hard time achieving what I see in my brain because I don't know how I would even get those shots. But watching this video made those ideas seem like they can come to life. Thank you!!

What a great video! Thank you for sharing the BTS and your process for filming yourself. Beautiful shots and beautiful lighting. It really shows how much work you put into it! Great job man! On another thought, to shoot from the back window, would it make sense to use a circular polarizer filter? It may help to remove some of the reflections that you see on the glass. Just food for thought.

this is beautiful, you’re amazing!

made it. looks good!

this video is amazing bro. i’ve been stuck for awhile trying to understand the concept of filming yourself cinematically. you just showed me that it’s not as hard as i’m making it out to be and that anyone can do it. i appreciate how you got into detail wow giving us a visual of how it’s done. thank you my friend, subscribing for sure!
