Ryan Kao i am a vlogger, I really want to be a full time UA-camr but don't have the time to edit, if you can see my latest video and comment on it then it would really mean so much, also i learned a lot from your video, thanks
Not a vlogger but I'm currently working on a short cinematic edit of a camping trip my friends and I went on. Was definitely challenging because all I have is a Canon Rebel T3i and I shot in a lot of low light scenarios but I think it turned out great. Hope to have it uploaded in the next day or two!
Thanks so much for the tip! I am wracking my brain for ideas on how to form a story with my vlogs...so far, I am showing the meals that I make. I hope that's a compelling enough story!
a story is as simple as waking up and going for a walk in the forest. Im struggling as well and I think the best thing is to write, shoot, edit repeat... it'll get better .
I've been vlogging for less than 3 months. I'm a husband, father, and travel as a Christian conference speaker who equips other believers to experience a lifestyle of supernatural compassion. This is a perfect way for me to share more of my life, marriage and family, and some of the amazing things we experience, places, we go and people we meet. Thanks Ryan! Enjoyed your video and subbed.
Hey Ryan. This is the first video I’ve seen of yours and it has really helped me grasp some context for filming our vlogs. I’ve been struggling with feeling like our vlogs are boring due to a non interesting life. But now especially after watching this I think with some creativity and work we can tell our story well. Thanks man
Ryan - I’m just learning this craft and working on technical side - the hardest thing is getting in front of the camera and getting ideas for stories - cheers
Thanks Ryan, some good content to take a way. Been watching Thomas Heaton and Peter McKinnon for some months now, Just added you to my list. At 63 a late starter to vlogging !! been doing movie since i was 17 from “8mm” to digital and every thing in between Just setting up to add my stories to the show. Thanks from down under 👍🏻🍷
Hey Ryan, just discovered your channel through this video. Love your down to earth style. I am UK filmmaker stepping into UA-cam. Just discovered I was solely restricting myself from storytelling in vlogs on UA-cam. I was working so hard on injecting story into my work outside of UA-cam that I overlooked the capability of this platform. Thank you for highlighting storytelling in vlogs. I think this is really what sets you apart from other creators. I make travel, bushcraft, wild camping videos for fun... Coming soon with a new injection of story!
Completely agree. Some vlogs definitely are just vlogs to post a persons day and tell their story but those usually are maybe the ones who don't stay extremely relevant long term unless it turns just scripted or fake in a way. A friend wanted me to jump into vlogging style videos and I'm wanting to but it's so much more than just filming a day and uploading. My idea and how most do at that conflict is through a questions being answered through the vlog, whether it's on content creating, current events, gear, and so on.
A very small percentage of Vloggers will succeed for these exact reasons. You can’t just record a day of you going grocery shopping without another reason to stay. It’s a give & take. You take their time and give them some value.
Recently started a youtube channel, and I've caught myself coming back to your videos multiple times for all the tips you share. Great content and style man. You are too underrated and you deserve at least 100k subs. Keep up the work!
Thanks Ryan for this video. Believe me that you inspire me every time you upload a video, I have seen your progress from your beginning to this day. I value your work and I know it will help me a lot. Blessings!
Great tips there! I just started my channel January this year and I have been trying so hard to upload videos (vlogs or what-so-ever vids) 2x a month. I don't really do research and study vlogging.. I just love doing it. But after watching this, I will definitely use your tips and do better on my next vlogs. You just earned another subscriber!
Thanks for the vid Ryan. I quit my job to follow my dreams of playing poker full time and VLOG about my poker journey. It's a small niche so I'm looking to branch off and make my story more appealing to the masses.
Thanks for sharing this video with us, Ryan! I’ve very recently been interested in the realm of vlogging but haven’t quite figured out the art. I’m not learning the art of storytelling and am pretty excited! Thanks for sharing your insights!!
Love vid from start to end! I'm not a vlogger.....Yet! Only just started out so there's a lot to learn and story telling and speaking in front of the camera in public is one of them. I think this video has been helpful! Cheers mate! 🦘
I completely agree with everything you are saying. i personally know that this is something that i need to improve on. like you said my videos have the highlights and very few intangibles. thank you for this tips i will be using them on my next couple if vids!!!! thank you!
hi Ryan! I only do photography ATM. Want to do also video and cinematography in the future. But i don't think vlogging is something for me. I speak dutch as main language and can talk an write english but not that good... AND if vlogs are not in english nobody would understand it... (Dutch speaking people are Belgium and the Netherlands). I see that you are very inspired by casy and Peter! Mix those 2 styles and you go something amazing. Keep making vlogs, tutorials, stories Ryan and i am shure people will find there ways to your channel ;)
What I've found with youtube is that you build your brand through finding a specific but simple niche you are in and building a solid community around that. I'd give it a chance though if you want to try and do video and cinematography as well. Maybe there is a group of people in Belgium and the Netherlands that speak Dutch that are wanting photography knowledge and vlog style content. From my knowledge there are hundreds of people trying to be photo and video pages in english but I don't know if I've seen many attempting to be Dutch/English speaking Vloggers and photo/video creators! You may be the first! The first to be able to reach out to a whole new group of Dutch creators and inspire the next generation of young creators from those Dutch speaking countries!
Jurian Cuypers it’s even better for you bro. Think about all the Dutch and Belgium audience that you will have. Think about that. You don’t really need to speak English to vlog bro. Imagine if you can get all that audience tho.
Nice way to throw that Square Space add in there. It did not feel like a plug for a company, it just felt like you were talking about a service you like! NICE JOB!!👍
I just wanna say that gear really never matters. I'm a musician in high school and I've noticed if I play on a professional clarinet or a better piano, yeah I'll sound better but if you don't have anything to play whats the point? You've just gotta make do with what you have. I've been using the same clarinet that I learned with and I love learning different styles of music to play on it. I will still end up killing it no matter which clarinet I play bcuz in the end it's all about doing with what you have I guess.
wtf im watching this with my friend (who was my "secondary character" in my old vlogs) and i literally said to him jokingly, "Where did Josh go?" the same exact time you said it 🤯🤯🤯
You're my favorite youtuber/creator so thus far homie. A nice balance between technical ability, genuine personality, and cinematic style that is enjoyable to follow. Mad peeps out there go off the deep end focusing too much on "cinematic" everything and it gets saturated with teal and orange, zoom transitions, all set to pop edm. You keep it real and I appreciate that. Keep it up. < Posted the same thing on your IG because I didn't realize you wanted a comment on your YT haha. I'm a vlogger but I've been busy so all I've been putting out is the small commercial jobs I've been able to get done. After my last two weeks of my licensing exam are over I can get back to creating.
Great video. I'm new to the travel vloggingg scene and your video was really helpful. Is was so susinct and hit on some points that really resonated with the things I want to work on in my vlogs. Thanks Ryan!
As of right now I'm struggling to find the balance, to make it cinematic but to not let it take me from the moment, i dont want to place a camera down and pretend im doing somethig that ive already done, id rather get the event as it unfolds. All i can do is continue to create and hopefully find my style
Beor Ong, I decided to watch one of your videos to see whats wrong - I picked Back to Tokyo cos it sounded interesting. You made it cinematic - all good - but you missed out on the main bit - telling me stuff. I didn't get to see any of your personality. I didn't get to see any thoughts, reason or purpose. Even if you had narated over it a bit and had some talking to camera, it would have been much better as a vlog. It felt like a commercial for something. Lots of nice clips strung together well - but no narrative. Just my thoughts. Good luck!
love your videos, you are truly a inspiration to everyone. You should do a couple of videos on camera/photo techniques.... I think a lot of people would get a lot out of that. I vlog and do freelance work. Just recently got into portrait/newborn work. It has been a blast and a lot of work. I Could definitely use some tips. YOUR WORK IS AMAZING!! PS. can't wait to see the new style!
Ryan K. First time view ,new time humble subscriber putting project together. looking forward to your up coming tutorials. This all will be going into my wheel house, good concrete sensible and empowering ,very glad I ran across your channel thank you
thnx for sharing this bro....i just started my channel a month ago and i still dont know if i need to vlog 50% of my life hehehe but still u helped me made up my mind
Ryaaaan... Im trying this stuff now from South Africa and I'll tell you how it goes, Ive been trying to make some study vlogs just to keep my friends amped for online learning since we all stuck at home with the virus... If you can, Id really apperciate some tips
New to the channel and this was an awesome tutorial. Storytelling has been something I have been working hard on for our family travel vlog. New Subscriber here.
Hello Ryan, this was a great help, I'm off to a London park next weekend, and will do my first vlog, with my photo group, this just made sense to me, cool stuff, thank you.
Are any of you guys vloggers? If so, tell me what you're working on!

I am a vlogger and an absolute beginner in filming. I am trying to film a documentary at the moment. Any advice would be appreciated! Cheers.
Keep at it man
Let me know when its up!
Storytelling is like one of the most powerful skills you can have
Thanks so much for the tip! I am wracking my brain for ideas on how to form a story with my vlogs...so far, I am showing the meals that I make. I hope that's a compelling enough story!

I’m also a speaker, chronicling my various presentations. I figured each one is the opportunity to tell a story
Squarespace is legit. And their customer service is pretty solid. Also, this is definitely one of your best vlogs. Thank you for the hard work!
Thanks man!

*this is what I'm looking for! Now I understand what's missing in our vlogs*
Great advice, so many people neglect story when it should be put first!

This man just summed it all up about vlogging
Agreed story is the key to a great video but can be a bit challenging if you've never done it before
itravel2 x Cruz yaa right
That's why not everyone is a Casey ;)
Super glad I came across this, great tips!
wtf im watching this with my friend (who was my "secondary character" in my old vlogs) and i literally said to him jokingly, "Where did Josh go?" the same exact time you said it 🤯🤯🤯
you got yourself a sub. Very real and useful info. Thanks man, keep up the good work
Great advice! Story is something I've always tried to keep in mind in my vlogs so far.
Awesome. It just motivated me to dive back into my own content. Man! what am I doing are just useless. Indeed very helpful.
You're my favorite youtuber/creator so thus far homie. A nice balance between technical ability, genuine personality, and cinematic style that is enjoyable to follow.

As we're vlogging our journey, this kind of advice is crucial 🙏
Loved this video- learning about storytelling. It's so important...also subbed, cheering for you to get to the next milestone!
Thanks for this man! I'm always willing to learn and get better at this vlogging stuff
Great video man. Storytelling is the main aspect of my videos I’m starting to experiment with and develop.
good knowledge to learn , good job bro keep it up
As of right now I'm struggling to find the balance, to make it cinematic but to not let it take me from the moment, i dont want to place a camera down and pretend im doing somethig that ive already done, id rather get the event as it unfolds. All i can do is continue to create and hopefully find my style
Beor Ong same like I don't know what to film with everything just getting the right shot
Beor Ong, I decided to watch one of your videos to see whats wrong - I picked Back to Tokyo cos it sounded interesting.
