NEVER change the intro. đ Done. Done. Gerald Undone. He's Crazy!
Really turned me off the first time I watched one of the video's but at some point you just start loving it.
@@gillesvanleeuwen I've loved it since day one.
The perfect intro length and has a new jack swing vibe to it.
I skip it every time, don't know why it rubs me the wrong way. But the content keeps me coming back over and over and over
@@johnnysimandjuntak itâs even better with the full length remix!
One of your superpowers is that you are very comfortable with introspection and sharing your introspection journey.
And you don't mind laughing at yourself.
Great content, great perspectives. I can't wait to see where all this experimentation takes you.
Huge congrats for your journey! Itâs an inspiring one! đđ
Love your work. Everyone starts somewhere. Thanks for everything you bring to us.
This was fun. Youâve helped so many of us with content creation in many different ways. Much appreciated.
Great to see how you've grown from such humble beginnings! :)
Very brave of you. Thanks for making yourself vulnerable so we can participate in your journey. Nothing is as humbling or instructive as review.
Looking forward to what comes next.
Thanks a ton for your humility. You are a lot of fun in this retrospective video. I've been grinding away for just over six years too and keep trying to get better, waiting for my big break... My oldest videos are absolutely terrible.
Congratulations on 6 years ! I've been subbed to your channel for 4 years now and have always thoroughly enjoyed your videos.
This video has the best post End Cards and music jingle đ¶ that Iâve heard on your channel in years!!! đ
Haha back to basics
I only know your channel for a few months now but I can tell you that imo you're the best Camera gear review channel on youtube. I get so much information that I don't get from most other channels like about rollingshutter, overheating etc, so big thanks for your works and keep it up :)
Cheers, Gerald - thanks for all the fun and helpful videos along the way!
Thank you Gerald! I suffered when I started CZcams a few years ago and STILL have to fight myself trying to make videos. The daft thing is that Iâm a retired musician who was perfectly happy recording in studios and playing to live audiences, but speaking to a camera just shuts me down!
Great to see where you started.
I started following because I love the lighting and framing of your studio shots and have adopted some of it into my own channel.
I only recently found your channel. I have to say, regardless of where you started, your recent videos are simply superb. From production quality to humor, these videos earn every damned minute of watch time.
Man, it is brutal going back and watching my original 10 videos. I can't believe how much we learn over such short periods of time. Congrats on 6 years bro
It's always so fun to see how far we've come - congrats on your journey
Man, I loved this. I wish every successful CZcamsr would go through their old videos and talk about what worked and what didn't. It was entertaining and insightful, brotha! Thanks for making this đđŒ
keep doing your thing Gerald, we love it
Haha I love that you brought back the funky jams. I'm really happy for you that you have had such a long and successful journey. CZcams is a tough place, but you have weathered the storm very well. I always enjoy what you put into the world, and your silliness is a unique part of you. Don't ever look back and cringe. It's why people like you after all! Happy six years!
Started from the bottom now heâs here.
Haha, most of those growth things you talk about are so relatable. I am in shouting phase RN haha. Keep doing what you're doing, one of the best camera channels out here on YT.
I remember you talking about making a cut during an inhale/exhale and Iâve thought about that in literally every video Iâve edited for over a year now. đŹ
I've been following along since 2020, after your haircut. Congrats on six years. Cheers to many more!
What a great retrospective look! Itâs good to see your evolution and gives me hope!
I appreciate the honesty and goofiness. One of my most trusted reviewers.
Thanks for all the learnings. Iâve learned so much about camera tech from you.
Looking forward to the next 6 years!! Thank you and congratulations!!
An important lesson, is to just start! I think that cat in the hat book guy said it best âoh the places you will go!â
You were always awesome. Thanks for being you and keeping us edutained!
Thanks for opening up your heart on this one. Loved the retrospective look back. Iâm here for the journey too!
Great having you hear on CZcams! đ I very much appreciate you and what you do!
@geraldundone is this a spam post or actually from you? I canât imagine why youâd have a tiny second account just to post comments like this đ€·đ»ââïžđ
Ever since I discovered your channel you've been my main go to for reference, troubleshooting and basically learning the craft, thanks for all the hard work.
The super-fast edits without breathing room due to trying to memorize your content.. ouch that one was personal. đ
**Me watching my latest video that I was proud of prior to watching this** .
Seriously though, this video was so enlightening and comforting. I'm new on this journey, and can't wait to look back on older videos and reflect on where I came from.
Always good to go back and look where you started to see how much you've grown. Thank you for sharing. Great stuff!
I jumped on the Undone boat when I watched one of the recent (within the last year) camera reviews. I don't care about cameras not even in the slightest, but it was something about the way the video was produced and the extent of the details in the review was almost calming. Since then it's been great watching Gerald's videos. They are quite informational for the most part (bananus included) but they are entertaining too.
This channel has helped me so much throughout my career in video. Whether it's a new purchase, or a how do i do that... you've given a ton of answers. Thank you.
LOL!!! I love this so much! What an inspiration from one of my favorite channels on CZcams!
I love your honesty and self-deprecating style - and you're funny!
despite all jokes about the old videos, there is a lot of really valuable information here.
After all these years of experience in YT consider doing more videos like these...
talking about "how to CZcams" (create more pleasant camera shots/B-Roll, tricks to retain an audience, your steps to record a video, gain camera confidence, and others)
I know your channel is more "gear's related", but in some of your and also Josh's videos, you guys provided more insights to people who want to become CZcamsrs than real channels that only create that kind of content, so consider approaching these subjects as well bro.
Glad you decided to to do the youtube trip.
Really enjoy the content.
I do learn a lot and always get a good laugh.
Always time well spent.
I donât why I never watched this when it came up on my subs feed! Brilliant. So good to see the journey. Iâve been here since early 2020. Youâve taught me so much. And Iâve laughed a lot too.
And for that Iâm eternally grateful.
absolutely love your videos , great to see your progression
I discovered your channel in the middle of 2020 and you have been awesome. Great knowledge and the humor is spot on.
This is GOLD. Love seeing you have fun and be lighthearted mate! So funn
It is INCREDIBLE how far you have come in these last few years. Content, lighting, sound, editing, hair, teeth, totally awesome progress and improvement.
Congrats for your 6th year of CZcams journey! Huge respect.
So awesome to see your journey, Love what you do man.
I really enjoyed this AND got some great tips (the continuity thing was huge!). Loved..
absolutely great to see the changes in one video... and well done, wishing 6 years and more of success but above all... fun
So good. Congrats on your success and it's awesome to see the humble beginnings lol. Mahalo!
As much as I like your technical analysis and review videos, I think I can speak for many that we like this type of video that's on the other side of the spectrum. Kudos!
How generous of you to open up that part of your journey with us. Life lessons on a number of levels. And very entertaining.
Smile on my face the whole time. Thank you for this! I have more faith in myself now đ
That was so funny ! I laughed out loud. Also a lover of the intro. Your warmth and sense of humour , not to mention your thorough reviews are what keep me coming back time and again.
Thanks Gerald. Always love your channel đ
That was great to watch! I know one thing, I always check what you have to say about a camera product before buying it. Your knowledge is immense!
lol got a good laugh outa this one. Always cool to see how far we've come. Awesome evolution! đ€
I've enjoyed the journey. Thanks for all the laughs. đ
Congratulations on the 6 years! đ
I started watching your videos back when you had long hair and have watched every single one ever since. Your info has helped me sooo much with my short film creations. Keep up the good work and thank you for sharing your knowledge with the world!
I don't know why but this really gave me the motivation to upload videos again !
I really liked your studio visit videos. I may never become my version of Gerald Undone but I'm happy to watch yours.
This was so awesome and heartwarming to watch!
Thanks for sharing and bring these things to the forefront today. This has been really encouraging,
YOu're deep dives and tech videos are always top notch, but I always come back for the fireside chats and weird funny videos you occasionally post. Grateful that you shared your journey with us. Here's to the future!
Haha, that is funny. Thanks for the video! Your infomercials are always excellent and very appreciated.
This is just as useful as I hoped it would be. Thank you. Your explanations of your own fairly subtle mistakes is invaluable wisdom.
Huge congrats and massive thanks for all the information you've shared. It helped me so much and I have learned a lot.
Gerald Undone HE'S CRAZY!
Thank you for being you! One of the best and most honest youtubers out there! Keep doing you Gerald. Lets get undone.
Congrats Gerald! I've loved the recent experimentation and the reflection (the banana video was hilarious ). Incredible to see what you've developed and what you've learned along the way! Makes me want to do the same with my old videos but I'm afraid to see how bad some of the original ones were! đ
Your username literally says âImproveâ - itâs begging for a reflection video lol
@@Nathan_Lundstrom So true! Glad you're helping hold me accountable! I am all about improvement! I'm making a video now about some random rocks (creating a new 3d model) but definitely will go through the old videos. Might even convince my gf to watch some of the "oldies" with me đ
Your journey is inspiration. Thank you for sharing
Inspiring, Gerald. Itâs crazy to see how much your videos and channel have evolved. Keep growing and evolving! Thatâs how our work stays fresh and exciting.
Donât change Gerald! Love your content and you are one of the most influential creators Iâve been following on CZcams!
I've been here for years and hope to stay here for years. Love what you do man, you've taught us so much! Cheers from Croatia :)
Such fun to review the journey. I chuckled at the end screen also :-)
A great self-critical view back in time - if one can laugh about the early mistakes like you do, the journey must be a good one.
Really looking forward to what you will do over the next 5-10 years, and thanks for all your valuable content you have created, Gerald!
- Martin
Great info man! Thanks for sharing your growth and journey!
Wow what an act of strength. So inspiring!
Love the retro beat you brought back at the end (and end cards)! Well played.
Your journey is deeply inspiring. đ
This is awesome Gerald! We all grow and change so much day to day, month to month etc. I think itâs very funny and self aware and overall mature to be able to look years back and laugh at your growth process with your very big and public fanbase. Hell itâs inspirational, getting me motivated to get out of my shell, ignore the anxiety and just trust the process of âgrowth by doingâ. Iâm a long time fan and I love your recent experimental stuff man, keep crushing it and exploring your artistic self.
Haha so awesome. Iâve learned a lot from you and appreciate the hard work you put into your videos. Also super funny looking back at your older videos. Well done!
Awesome video, congrats and great job on 6 years! One of my favorite YT channels.
Congrats for the first 6 years, Iâve been following you for the best part of 4 and donât plan to stop anytime soon đ keep up the great work
This was very pleasant to watch and very encouraging
Allways liked your videos Gerald. Detailed and very easy to follow. Keep the great work coming.
Wow! This video gave me so much hope in the potential future of my own channel! I have to keep pushing. Try, learn, repeat. Enjoy the process. Thanks for so much great content over the years!
Nicely done man! You were a rockstar from the beginning đ. Thank you for all the knowledge youâve shared with all of us! đđœ
Thank you for a down to earth, inspirational look at your process and when you were like so many new content creators out there (myself included), as it can seem sometimes like an unreachable goal to watch people who have years experience as you forget they started the same as you!
Keep doing you đ
Iâm glade Iâve found your channel when I first got into wanting to do CZcams and decided I was gonna tech myself filmmaking! Keep doing what ever makes you happy, I love the reviews and the crazy off the wall stuff to!
A fun evolution to review with the creator! Congratulations on 6 years!
Loving this exploration journey. And this one is inspiring me to start a channel đ
Really enjoyed watching this video. And I am proud that I am a loyal fan who knows the videos in order. Love from Sri Lanka.
I needed this in my life! đ€Łđ€Łđ€Ł Thank you for this video!
You're one of the most inspirational CZcamsrs I follow, it was fun to see your evolution since 2016... I had no idea you've been at it since then. Very cool
Excellent thanks for sharing!
I just went back yesterday because I never saw some your older content and I watched your first video. Too funny.
congrats on your anniversary!
Happy channel birthday Gerald. It's such an accomplishment I feel. 6 years and you have all these followers and CZcamsrs also watch you to understand video production. I'm sure even MKBHD said something about you on one of his videos. Wishing you all the best in the many years to come.
