  • While @LifeOfRiza’s videos are technically vlogs, she more accurately says they're "based on a true story." The detail orientation she puts into her lighting, cinematography, and editing result in a fairy tale-like experience that helps Kariza build what she calls her "cinematic universe." This new style of vlogging was born out of a project Kariza started to vlog for one year. The project was an instant success, gaining her 100,000 new subscribers in the first three weeks.
    Kariza is nearing the end of her year of vlogging, and in this episode she sits down with Jack to discuss what she's learned, and the three rules she followed to keep herself on track.

      Just realized that she is no usual vlogger but very technical like a pro film maker and i feel so stupid watching this vid.. But in a good way.. I thought camera is just a camera and all same,but talkingabout the lenses only already confusing. 😂😂😂😂 Now i have some ideas how to produce a little bit engaging vlog compared to the one i have now 🫡

    Dude you are bringing in some of the most authentic, talented, sincere CZcams creators, and your willingness to put them front and center while you genuinely geek out about their work is a testament to you.
    I think the reason you're bringing in so many heavy hitters is because of who you are, and your well of enthusiasm and love for every creative decision.

    Being waiting this interview for months! Riza is just a beast making those cinematic vlogs and the beauty of color grading, craft and story. So many years in the shadows where no one cared, and one day the almighty Algorithm saw her. Very likely she'll get 1M subs before the end of the year at that speed. Reminds me kinda like when Peter Mckinnon exploded.

    @Summerhaworth Před měsícem +3

    These tips are INCREDIBLY helpful. Thank you so much for interviewing and picking at her brain! And although some of this info may not be “new” to the vlog and film world, she’s still bringing a lot of people into a more cinematic way of planning and executing projects and in such a unique way! I love it so much, as someone who has had heavy influence from film growing up, a love for photography and videography, and wanted to vlog moments in life, she’s just merged the two worlds in a really thought provoking and cool way. I’ll be honest, I’ve always given up too soon, but seeing Riza’s videos over the last year has really sparked my motivation to get creative and get a real project done.

    You can see her heavy influences of cinematography. Very few CZcamsrs actually have a cinematic eye. The algorithm has been blessing her lately it’s well deserved. We need more high quality CZcams videos these days with the creator market being so crowded. Reminds me of a lot of Wes Anderson films. Kind of how theatre elements are brought into a cinematic world. So good with so much character.

  • @jjstarrprod
    @jjstarrprod Před 18 dny +2

    Awesome interview, Jack.
    Such a fascinating episode !
    Life of Riza is arguably one of the most iconic storytelling focused channels on youtube at the moment, in the same ballpark as NataliexLynn and a few others insanely talented and experienced GenZ.
    Just watching these 35 minutes, it tells us so much about how she manages to build up her films (yes, at this point, these are films and not vlogs anymore), and how much details and preprod she puts in each one of them, which really explains so much why her "vlogs" have this "je ne sais quoi" that makes her stand out so much of the Casey Neistat/PeterMcKinnon style of vlogs. She's not just a pretty face, a solar smile and a soothing voice (which, all 3 certainly help in being engaging onscreen and endearing to the audience), she actually knows about the craft of filmmaking with 5 years of actual experience in the filmmaking industry. She's basically a perfect storm all on her own.
    Great to know she values storyboard so much.
    I'm a director of animated shorts films, and in animation, storyboard is an absolutely vital part of the process. It always boggled my mind to see so many live filmmakers and cinematographers completely disregard the craft as unneccessary or just a little supermarket to pick a few shots here and there : I once participated in a 48h competition as a storyboarder, and in good old 48h r challenge fashion, spent the night whipping up a cohesive storyboard of the whole 5 mins long movie for our team, without sleeping. To my utter dismay, the director/cinematographer (who at this point had his beauty sleep), woke up the day after, got a quick glance at it, felt like "mmm, yeah, this one's not bad", and picked ONE shot from my whole storyboard, and the rest, he'd figure out on location. Prior to that, we were pals (which is why I accepted to be part of his crew in that challenge), and needless to say, I never worked with that twat ever again. That was 10 years ago.
    People, please DO NOT underestimate the power of preproduction. What she said about the more preprod is done, the more perfect and quicker and reliable the result is absolutely 100% true for animation, and certainly applicable for live action filmmaking, or in her case, vlogging. She's making a fantastic fusion of both crafts (filmmaking and vlogging), fine tuned to a tee, and it's great to see this new generation of filmmakers reinvigorating CZcams (which kinda started to feel stale for a few years already) onto its next level.
    Also, I'm admirative on how Jack is able to decipher all the tiny little details that nobody else has caught on and you can tell it made Kariza's day to talk to someone so perceptive who made her felt actually seen. The sparkles in her eyes and the smile on her face each time he caught an easter egg or inquire about it was just so precious !
