    Hey Thomas, I just wanted to say thank you your $500 ZV-10 video, inspired me to make my own version and create this CZcams channel. I have another with a large following already but, it’s gaming related and I wanted to start afresh with no help from that channel so cheers! Thank You for enabling my passion for my love of filmmaking. Can’t wait for your next vid!

    As someone who loves watching and shooting videos, I have been procrastinating editing and updating videos. This speaks to me to hopefully push forward with youtube in 2024

      Oh man I practice procrastination religiously lol. Always a good feeling to get that upload done though

    Found your vids a couple months ago and was won over by your energy, honesty and sincerity - and the cool accent doesn't hurt. Looking forward to watching you grow in 2024 :-)

    Been on and off with a gaming centric channel here, and a side aspiration for a vlog/diy /tabletop gaming side channel, your videos last year helped me immensely in quelling a little bit of buyers remorse about getting the ZVE10 and actually got me to lug my camera and gear out to a convention and film some booths of devs talking about their games. Seeing what you could do with the camera and rigging options to look and act the part of a "professional" out and about has grown my confidence immensely and people at the convention were very excited once I approached them with a rig similar to your zve10 builds and a simple lav mic setup and saw me as the real deal. Thank you for making content and inspiring someone like me who has wanted this for 5 years and is only barely starting to hit upload now.

    I’m not really a photo/video gear channel, but I do freelance work and have enjoyed these videos! Always makes me want to mess around and use different gear/edits for my videos even though they are mainly vlogs and thrifting/vintage videos hahah appreciate you!

    Thomas, thanks a million. I'm facing the same challenge...I've been a senior pastor for 30-yrs. I started a CZcams channel in 2019/2020 to help our church through the pandemic era. I enjoyed it first, but as a small church, we could not sustain it consistently. So I stopped. But, the creative side of me enjoyed it--and I learned so much about videoing, editing, cameras, settings, etc... Now, one of my life coaches is nearly forcing me to start a new channel dedicated to releasing my internal creativity...my coach is requiring and pushing me to "Release Me" and emphasizing this cannot be launched to chase subscriptions...this thinking alone has been a game-changer for me mentally. Progress on my brother...youre doing it well. Cheers!

    Hey Thomas. I have found your channel yesterday and I very much enjoy what you create and post.
    I've started my channel a little bit over a month ago with my videos and shorts related to watches and horology.
    It goes slow for now, but I think it's on a good trajectory and it brings me a lot of joy to post and create this videos and edits.
    Hopefully I will grow much bigger.
    My very best to you, keep creating more interesting content!

    I love the video I thought I needed to update from the zv e10. but then I realized I could just create a cinema rig for it. Investing in lenses and monitors/rig is better if you're a beginner to get used to the rig feel.

    You had me since your first video! In april, I was looking to buy a camera and I got the zv-e10. I saw your video about the rig shortly after I bought it and it was super inspiring. I am starting a youtube channel now with my first video going up tonight at midnight est

  • @ManuelParodiRamos
    @ManuelParodiRamos Před 8 měsíci

    I like your vibe very much. Been following you for a while now and mostly it is always interesting to hear your opinion about stuff. I loved what you said about the CZcams community vs other social media. I think it is actually why I stick here as well. People have a genuine desire to help others. Talking about help, what picture profile settings is the best for running and gunning with the zv-e10 on a cinema rig (inspired by yours mainly)?

    Hey Thomas , just came across your channel.im a small time youtuber but I enjoy what I do playing around with the camera and making videos.makes a nice refreshing change to see someone that knows what the future might hold for 2024 as a creator.subbed to your channel and keep on being you ... All the best John 😊

  • @JonAdamsTech

    So glad I found your channel Thomas, as a pastor I resonated so deeply with this video. I love being a pastor, but having something outside of that (sometime's heavy) calling is really helpful.

    The algorithm brought me right to you once I got the Sony ZV E-10. Subscribed after the first video

  • @POVwithRC
    @POVwithRC Před 8 měsíci

    Yeah, big ups on a first year four figure landing. That is quite good. I'm still at sub 200 but I am so niche that this is expected. There are very few breakouts in the POV space, unless its an exotic location.
    Re: the best time to start? Yeah, it's like real-estate. When viewed on a long timescale, the cheapest time to buy is right now.

    Love this! It’s been a dream of mine to do CZcams since I was a kid. I’m currently 15 subscribers away from 1000 which is honestly mind blowing! My goal for 2024 is to become part of the CZcams partner program! Almost there with the subs but it’s the watch hours which is taking more time than expected! Love the positivity in this video! I wish you a happy new year 🫶

    • @thomasjmcclure
      @thomasjmcclure  Před 8 měsíci

      Make that 14!
      And yeah the watch hours took me longer too

    Hi. Dude, I love what you do. I’m a filmmaker from Kazakhstan. Last year I also started running my channel like you, I walked for a long time and thought for a long time, but I started as if it was too late))) but I still can’t get my 1000 subscribers, what do you advise? I understand that I post videos very rarely, but maybe there are some life hacks))
