      Just gotta know the area, and sometimes it takes luck in making sure places are clear. You WILL get some odd stares regardless. Some people find it really cool, others think you're onto some kind of espionage and could even call you in to the cops.

    @LapoftheWorld Před 3 lety

    Great advice. I think the "just do it" part is key (please don't sue me Nike). I'm not on this level *at all* but my experience getting started was I think typical: Have an idea, sit on it for a year because "it's not a good time" , stress and overthink the first video, first video sucks anyway because you don't know what you're doing, learn from that, get better, eventually find a style and niche and start growing.

  • @FlatCapDriver
    @FlatCapDriver Před 3 lety

    Totally agree with the “just going and do it approach”. I started with a £50 cheap camera with terrible audio and been having great fun. My videos are very infrequent and always me just rambling on while driving my 996 or 912 or Golf R or MGB (that feels like a weird set of cars when I see it written down). I don’t have many subscribers but that’s mostly because I don’t feed the CZcams algorithm in a consistent way. I think the advice I’d need is what kind of editing software to use how to set up multi angle shot cameras but I guess that comes with experience.
    Great video though and great advice 👍🏼

    Kara and Nate just rock don’t they Sam? I discovered them not long just after Christmas 2019. Loved their stuff in america in their van - I could see you doing something like that through north and South America in a new defender. You should contact Kara & Nate if you do a big trip and do a collab episode or two!

    Cool Benetton phone case. Which is your favourite f1 livery released this year ? Alpine for me

    I hope you filmed a video with that GTi Clubsport, keen to hear your thoughts.

    I haven't commented on this channel for a while due to Covid-19 as mentioned. However, I really look forward to the content, especially when at the Concours d'Elegance in the Monterey Peninsula. Cheers from Silicon Valley, CA!;)

    Good video... I'm up to 50 subscribers since Xmas. Only use my phone and action camera. It's only for fun but good to hear your side 👍
