"Painters shape paint, musicians shape sound, and cinematographers shape light" That is such a great way of explaining it!

This is the first video of yours I’ve seen since some of those earlier ones you referenced that featured briefly here. You’ve changed quite a bit (in a good way) - I can’t quite put my finger on it but I think ultimately it comes down to growth, maturing and the way you communicate with your audience. Not only does it feel authentic but it’s hugely educational and inspiring at the same time. Makes me wanna make more stuff. Keep doing your thing bro, at this rate you’ll be taking Deakins spot in no time.

It’s crazy how every video you post just gets better and better, like your details are insane, I can’t wait to hang out with you one day and learn some things from you, I want to get better at my storytelling and filmmaking in my channel, lately I have had some crappy imposter syndrome and comparing my growth to alot of my mutuals hitting crazy numbers, but I have to remember this is my own journey, and I want to change my life these next 6 months, and this video really put it in perspective for me, I need to keep creating. Thanks for being such an awesome person.

KZread brought me here and I am glad it did. You remind me of Jesse Driftwood. I loved that your tutorial, like his, is *truly* cinematic, and I don't mean it lightly. From the scripting the stanzas the music selection the lighting , all go towards telling a story. Alot of people I've seen claim that they are "filmmakers" or "cinematographers" but man oh man, the work they put out show that they are just at the level of videographers at the end of the day, aspiring to be what they claim to be. I am personally working towards putting it altogether myself and working towards a cinematic goal, adding bits and pieces in the content I make - bettering the framing, improving the staging and now learning how to shape lights from you. This was good inspiration!

Awesome points my dude. Light and storytelling go hand in hand. As a cinematographer, the goal is to visually tell the best story rather than to just make it look "cool". Always be searching for the "why?" behind every shot. Is it telling a better story or is it inflating an aestetic ego that does not add value to the story at large?
