A Reality Check For Creators Wanting To Go Full-Time...

Happy Sunday! Anyone interested, the audiobook is called “The Dip” by Seth Godin, check it out! Do me a solid and drop a like!

Was working as a pizza delivery guy, and apart of a teenage rock band at 18. Management was terrible, and I remember feeling so lost and depressed in my life. Right now, I don't know what my next job will be as at my current one, work has slowed down all of a sudden. The only difference now is the peace that I carry.

If you're reading this, Jesus loves you and He has a plan and purpose for your life. I didn't know that until I encountered Him when I needed Him the most. Romans 6:23 says "For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord". If this resonates with you, that's for a reason. Ask the Lord for Him to reveal Himself to you, and He will show you who He is.

The part about the rat race and all that could not have been more true. At the same time, if you're smart and lucky you still have plenty of opportunities doing just what you love so that's not too shabby at all :)

I’m a musician and I just discovered your videos today. I have already watched at least 4 of them. I have learned so much and I feel way better about recording content now. You make everything very digestible and helped me see everything from a less intimidating and different perspective.

🥇

I loved this one! Love this format. I also love hearing your thought processes about the shots and the compositions. It's helping me develop that voice (which feels like the hardest part of all of this). I appreciate you.

We made it 🥇

Made it to the end. I like the cinematic style in different locations. All of the shots I would normally cover for clients you are covering on your own. It is a great way to tell a story and to show others ow to do it. I tell my team all the time about how to cover different angles and locations. Wide, medium, close-up, and super close. It is nice to see it happen in real time, well, sort of, and to have you put forth so much effort to make it happen. I really enjoy the style! Thanks for inspiring us!

I am going to start doing this kind of content. I learned a lot. Mostly how little it takes to get a good shot equipment wise. And how much composition is much more important.

Thank you so much for this! ❤ seeing so many “success” stories make it seem so much easier than it truly is

We made it🥇

We made it!🥇 Also, favorite shot has got to be that last last clip with the blooper😭😂🤞🏾 kept asking myself if you’d did hit the camera with the ball at least once, so seeing it made it all the more worthwhile 🤣 thanks for inspiring always♥️

🥇

How you doing bro how you get ur cameras to move like that like how do you edit?

You’re such a good storyteller both verbally and visually

Would love to see you do a documentary

half a mil followers wow. I remember I started following you before you reached 1k. congrats.

I can listen to you talk all day. New sub here 😊 great video

Absolutely incredible video. Just got back from filming outside for the first time in a LONG time and had the same revelations you did about how much more fun it is than a typical indoor setup. The sense of discovery while out there in the world can't be beat.

I am hustling now to one day try and go full time with a creator business, but know that full time or part time work on the side to help sustain is gonna be the mid-game for a while. I'm prepared, at least to give it a shot and can always decide I don't like it and go back.

"We made it 🥇" Cool video

We made it , I love your video, I’m experiencing life more , doing better things I’ll say start to meditate, it would help keep you connected to the universe -Me, but yeah I hope you good life all blessing to you .

We made it 🔥🔥🔥🔥

The Drizzler i listened to. We need To Stop Arguing and Fight with each other. The Drizzler has been extremely helpful and really nonbias about what men and women are going through. Even talk about himself. We all want Love and understanding? But can't give any

The snow and the trees and colour and atmosphere is so evocative. Love this setting. I even like that ominous looking unmarked building you stand in front of. Very nice.

Awesome locations

I thought the script was great, do you have ideas and build the em one by one or how do you write your scripts?

I absolutely loved this! I’ve been making films for clients and been working for myself for two years… I’ve lost the joy of filming for myself and watching this really got me wanting to create. Really enjoyed the BTS in the same film! So thankful you landed on my recommended today

This comment is addressed to the topic of cleaning restrooms. Food for thought. No one wants to clean a bathroom or restroom with or without gloves. It's a job no one wants to do. Even in your own home, with your own filth. Righ? Right. People look down on the people who do this type of work. Everybody on this earth has to use a bathroom or restroom now, here it comes.......we all like using a clean, well samitized restroom. The people who clean up our filth are made fun of and not resoected but we all want that clean restrooom experience. Right? Right. Right?

hello sir, could you please advise on any of your videos that would show your post production process, I love your color grading on those scene in front of the Old Navy store.

Yep.. made it to the end.. brah question.. How quick do you find the right shot on the camera, do you nick pick the camera till you get that shot, or do the magic happens at post?

It eventually all ends. It always does.

We made it😊

Hello i play games for fun and i started recording and i didn't expect any views i was just having fun but my short videos get 300 plus views , i couldn't believe it 😂 but i became stressed depressed frustrated and i havent touched grass in what feels like 2 weeks its only been 3 days 🤣🤣 i constantly stay up past 6 am recording and editing then posting and dtaying up more to see if it Hits 🥹 but im gonna do it for fun and not take it that deep you know ? Ill be taking a trip outta town soon ' i need a break 👍🏾🥺🩷

You had some great cinematic views and experiences. I have enjoyed this video so far as it is refreshing. I know you promoted stock photos and videos, but thank you so much for not using them too much or if at all. I don't enjoy videos anymore that overuse random actors or hired session models for stock footage. I don't need to see random people embodying a topic to make my imagination dwindle.

I hate when I get baited to a video that has really nothing to do with the title

i love this guys' story i also am a failed creator who isn't
"black"

we made it <3

🥇Really enjoying your stuff, man — watched a few of your videos now!

Do you you think it’s worth it in 2024??? You started in 2014 and you talk about how the process has changed?

Old navy watching like 👀

🥇

Thank you, so much for taking the time to share your experience with your camera.

I must say that your video shooting skills are impressive. The angles you used for the basketball shots were spot-on, and your ability to extend your rising is remarkable. The wet shot you took was also impressive.

The car shot, in particular, was well done, as the angle made it appear as though you were talking to someone inside the car.

I noticed that the audio quality improved significantly after you worked on it. The car video was one of my favorites, but the basketball shots were outstanding.

The shot with the fog was stunning, and it could easily be used as a postcard. Your composition skills are excellent, and the addition of the bench and trees in the background was a nice touch.

Overall, you did a great job, and I'm looking forward to seeing more of your work in the future.

I'm not even a cc, but i like watching your vids cause they're shot so well

I do it for the love, when i want. But i have a family and run a business. Sometimes i go viral, sometimes i dont.

It's no problem to watch it till the end if you're enjoying it!! Maybe one day I'll be able to record something that good
