    Her initial success didn't come from her making a vlog (as she claims) or because of her cinematography, it came from her TITLE. "Be the main character of your life" happened to be super super trendy at the time she posted the video. And that's by riding, uncounsciously, a trend that her channel gained the first traction. The reason she went years without subscribers is exactly because of this, the quality was there but she wasn't making videos that people were actively searching for. So delivering high quality isn't always enough at first, and she's a great example of that, you have to combine it with a keyword strategy. And once you make high quality videos on topics that people are searching for, it creates a huge momentum for your channel.

I am learning a lot from it. And I totally agree when you said to "be yourself".. As a small content creator myself, I tried to imitate, emulate, or shaped a persona that wasn't me because I thought it's the way to make people engaged.. From now on, I will be myself.

    Her videos are class. The storytelling is phenomenal, and I've only seen two of her videos.
    The way she's subtly integrated her sponsorships as part of the narrative of her videos is a skill in itself.
    You can tell she's a filmmaker above being your standard content creator. Her shot compositions, the narrative progression. Her videos are like movies and I'm all for that level of creativity.

      Implementing the lessons I learned throughout the years of lots of trials and errors changed my life trajectory and learning that there’s a yin and yang in everything. I wouldn’t have appreciated the power of kindness if someone was not cruel to me. I wouldn’t have realized the importance of growth if I didn’t see myself stagnating. I wouldn’t have appreciated the importance of health if I didn’t get sick. I wouldn’t have realized the importance of real love if I haven’t witnessed my parents’ relationship slowly fall apart. I wouldn’t have appreciated the importance of mindful money consumption if I wasn’t broke. I wouldn’t have appreciated the growth of my CZcams channel if I didn’t start at 0.

    I think for me, she’s mastered her pre-production skills. She gave alot of thought in telling a story thus giving depth to her story. When there’s depth, there’s often value. This would apply to any other types of films as well imo.
    She is one of a kind tho

      Her last vlog was really good, idk it felt way more relaxing than her usual vlogs are. Her whole content is really good and who knows you might end binge watching her videos just like I did the first time I found her channel 🤭

    I absolutely love her channel too! I've watched some of her videos multiple times just to figure out how she does it. The one thing I think you left out is that every scene she includes has purpose. Whether that's setting the scene/mood or helping tell a story. What creators sometimes get hooked on is the cinematic feel. They just like the look of a shot so they include rather than asking is it necessary to include. This is what she specializes in!

It goes just a few weeks or months-Idk, but I was working on my service business-and I check back in, 130k subs, a it two later like 300k+, crazy but I can't say she doesn't deserve it. First person I've seen really implement cinematography into the "mainstream life advice" genre. Not only that, but she does a good job at crafting her overall videos.

    Im glad your both doing so well on CZcams. I have studied and practiced so much, especially the last few years. Im at a low point mentally right now trying to get fired up again. Ive been doing this since Jan 2007 and have made well over 1,000 videos. I still cant seem to reach the production quality that she and you Sean already have achieved in such a short time. Even when I do produce my best videos those dont seem to be the ones that get the most views. Looking at my analytics the videos that do well, seem to be so random.

    I didnt know Life of Riza, but I must say this video is up there. You did an extraordinary intro and I'm amazed at your simple but fascinating breakdown of this great CZcamsr.
    Thanks for the effort and the hard work.
    I aim to imitate your cinematography one day!

    Hi! I was not familiar with Kariza until watching this video. I’m now curious and will check out her channel. It can be quite discouraging when you put a lot of work into a video and only a couple people view it. Thank you for creating this beautiful and inspiring video! ❤❤❤

  • @VladimirKostek
    @VladimirKostek Před 8 měsíci +17

    Hey Sean, great breakdown! I saw 1 or 2 videos of hers a few months ago so this was cool to watch as someone who is trying to improve their videography skills. I particularly like the part @ 7:25 where you showed with AI how much of a difference scenery and small details can make! Also very funny how the head turn she does wouldn't apply to us haha, if i did that in a review of mine I don't think people would take me seriously. Only thing that I would mention here would be to link her channel in the description for people that aren't familiar with her work. Thanks for the vid, first time here and instant sub!

    Man!!! Sean!!! This was extraordinary work! Thank you for making this video! I think I speak for everyone by saying that I learnt loooots! Apart from the filmmaking rules you seem to have dissected perfectly, you made the most important point. And that not only by saying it but also by showcasing it in a VERY funny and entertaining way! I already had to laugh in excitement to what was to come. It's so important that we all know that even if we copy things, it won't be the same. You can learn from others and copy some things that generally work and that's fine. I think we all do it at the beginning. But the most important thing is authenticity and personality. That it was makes the difference. Something that makes or breaks (in case there is no authenticity to be found) the creator. Kudos to you my friend. I can very much relate to the numbers point. If we do work (that we think) is high quality or we are proud of, it kind of creates an expectation for other to react to it or achieve a certain amount of people. But that's then not in our hands anymore. We can do our best, and then we might get surprised or not. I very much enjoyed watching your video. And I'm going to try to implement some things in my videos. Thanks again my friend!

  • @rowdyfps
    @rowdyfps Před 8 měsíci +7

    very well made video bro and like you said I think the biggest factor of her success is simply the kind of person she is on camera. You can have all the technical skills in the world but if you're not able to connect with the audience than it might take even longer to reach the same success. Also the fact that she already put so much effort in her previous videos.

    Have I binge-watched Riza's videos? Yes. I love how she presented things in her videos, and everything is intentional, from the lighting to the framing, to everything.
    Now, will I binge-watch your videos because of this? Yes, definitely. I like how you presented Riza in this video and would love to see what you got. :D

    Hi, Sean. Thank you for your video. You did a great story, I was enjoyed watching it. I am also a youtuber and I still search my style. And I found the happiness of creating when I make a short my style film. I feel very happy and proud, even there are no so much views as I was expecting. I learn a good lesson: it is important to enjoy the process no matter what. I hope we will see some of your blogging stories soon. Good luck in your journey.

  • @justmidnight_

    I watched one of her videos and saw that her channel had over 300k subs and I thought they were well deserved and then I watched a video from around half a year ago and she said she had just reached 10k subs and my mouth was on the floor to learn she had such a massive growth in the past few months. Crazy to see but also inspiring and shows that if you’re passionate about something and can master it then the reward will come

    After your analysis and watching some of Riza's very talented videos. There is always one key observation that is left out in the success of a lot of youtubers that "make it". When you want to "gain traction" you need to be cute, attractive, or the sorts, it helps A LOT.

    I really like this video Sean and trust time bro i can relate because I've been algorithm chasing, I'm gonna start putting more effort into my creativity and start pouring into my cinematography. Whats funny is i haven't watched life of riza much. Ive mostly been focused on her bf Colt but they both are amazing at storytelling so imma gonna binge her content now and see how i can learn from them both.
