    I entered the film industry not even knowing how a C-stand works. I was lucky enough to jump straight to operating a camera for jobs. Till today, I'm still scared when I'm working with clients/agencies/directors/crew simply because I'm just a guy who happens to know how to use a camera but didn't go to film school, have zero theoretical knowledge about lighting and learnt his stuff from CZcams. It scares me that these people are going to see through me and look down on me from then on. It's good to know that I'm not alone in this fight. Thanks for sharing, Danny!

      Omg yess😹 I studied photography and graduated but lately I started feeling less and less creative, started comparing myself with everyone (first time that ever happened), feeling like I had NO clue of where I was going and thinking that everyone knows better. Funny thing is that whenever I get the chance to work with someone I look up to, they are just as nervous and insecure as me or even more hahaha it's just that not everyone talks about it. Anyway, I've taken a break from social media and I know some day I'll go back to creating more content. Just not now and that is FINE

    I think people often mistake being great with using equipment as being a filmmaker. That's being a technician, not being a filmmaker. I believe that anyone who tells a story with visuals is a filmmaker, even if the quality isn't great, it's telling a great story with visual language. And yes in order to get a proper job or to do freelancing you need to be able to be a technician as well, so those two go well together in that case, but being _only_ a technician doesn't make one a filmmaker, and you can definitely be a filmmaker without being a technician.

    I was in the middle of filming a massive series where I documented my process of trying to get out the middle, and after I posted the second video, the first one blew up (for a channel my size). Honestly, it f'ed me up, and I haven't made one since. And then literally today I received a new XT4 for my company and I knew I needed to film a third episode, and the reality of imposter syndrome hit me. so freaking hard. I literally edit photos and videos for a living, yet when it comes to my own work I have felt suffocated. It is really really helpful to know someone else, especially someone as phenomenal as you, experiences what I'm feeling. Thank you for your vulnerability and honesty, this has really helped me.

    Dude! Your composition of each shot in the opening sequence, how you chose to Close Off each character with the negative space behind each character. Showing tension within the exchange shows me instantly that "YOU ARE A FILMMAKER"! You obviously studied film, and the sheer fact that you created an entertaining way to introduce this subject is exactly why filmmakers do what the do... They have something, and idea, a subject that they just have to share with the world. Great Video! Thanks for posting!

    This was incredible, such a needed and true message. I have fought with this my entire career. It has kept me from really pursuing a youtube channel which is something I've wanted and talked about doing for years. It is also something that probably sabotages me from sharing ideas, or experimenting on set because of the fear of failure. It can be toxic, and it does appear to be ubiquitous in all creators that I know too. You put this so candidly man. I really appreciate this message.

    I am sitting here, at 3am in tears... Danny you truly touched my heart.. the opening dialog was on point, it's like you translated what my demons tell me every single day.
    I often work in toxic environments on set, and i have a habit of being overly honest if I don't know how to do something, and it crushes me how sometimes I feel like everyone is looking down on me thinking "How the hell did this idiot get on this set". I was terrified directing my latest short, i locked myself in the bathroom and was shaking head to to toe and then i went into the shoot and poured my heart into it. I guess it's our passion and drive and this constant feeling that we're not doing enough to ever be as great as our idols. Thank you for this, I've subscribed to your channel, i am so happy i stumbled upon this video, it's the best video I've seen this year. You're defiantly doing something right

    This helps a lot actually. I get that same feelings driving up to every single job... I'm glad I'm not the only one. But I also know for a fact that once we get there and the ball starts rolling we are totally in our element. Thanks for sharing!

    As a beginner in this industry, an aspiring filmmaker, this made me smile! It’s that feeling when you think you know a lot but there’s so much people who knows more than you. They may have more experiences but one thing I thought about is to just focus on what you want to do, don’t compare, keep learning and keep creating. Hopefully I’ll be doing this as a full time job asap! Anyways, it’s always great to hear that someone else feels the same way as you do.

    You are so good man. I'm 22, been filming stuff since I was a kid, which means I've watched a lot of filmmaking youtube videos, and I mean a LOT. For me to say that you are one of the best youtube channels out there is huge. Please, I know you are going to get far in this youtube game, but whatever you do, do not change your personality even if you get to a million subscribers and you become famous and all that. You are the most transparent, raw and sincere filmmaker I've seen, and to put this content out there and open yourself like this is amazing, in a world where everyone is just pretending to be the most successful filmmaker. Keep doing what you do, and keep being honest about it, because trust me, with your talent in cinematography (because I've seen your stuff and it looks awesome) and your personality, you are gonna get so so far!! Well done man.

    You have no idea how inspirational your words are to me. I am getting my bachelor's in film production and I feel like I have no one there with me. I feel so alone and like an outcast sometimes but I am so glad I found your videos man. You have really helped so much with my anxiety when it comes to making films. Thank you for being so awesome and inspirational.

    I entered the film industry last august. I graduated as an aerospace engineer but I didn't feel satisfied with I do. I was lucky enough to get hired by my current boss even though all my "film knowledge" was based off of youtube. It's been almost a year since then and I have learnt so much from them. I know I still have much more to learn and sometimes I do feel like I don't belong around these creative people. I learnt to cope with this by accepting this feeling and that it is normal. It does not make you less of a person becasue yes, everyone feels the same way.

    Well that really hit home. I always get scared I'm messing everything up when I shoot something then when I edit I realize its not as bad as I thought. This was really helpful advice to hear!

  • @LauriMajamaa
    @LauriMajamaa Před 4 lety +1

    I have those thoughts so often! Yeah, I feel ya! After a long whole day wedding shoot I often feel like the whole day was waste of time. But then next day when I’ll start to check the material and edit I see that there is always good stuff. That’s the moment when the feeling disappears again...

  • @NateKillian
    @NateKillian Před 4 lety

    Dude I love how open you are here because I think every filmmaker at some point asks themselves these same questions and has the same doubts. I had an internship at Sundance film festival in college, and it felt like the whole time I was comparing myself to the other interns about whether I was as much of a filmmaker as they are because they seemed to know more than me. Within those next few years, I had made handful of other films for festivals and learned A LOT. Through that process I realized that I didn't need to already be making the big production, big budget films to call myself a filmmaker. Pursuing storytelling and continuing to learn along the way made me a filmmaker.
