Thank you for watching. Get out there and make something.
The most incredible part of this whole amazing masterpiece for me is at no point was I sold anything. Which on youtube is almost unheard of. There was no cheap plugs and no one was shouting at me to get this "one thing that will make my videos amazing". Truly an authentic experience. Much love!!
I mean, he did shout out the one tripod that he uses that almost every UA-camr and influencer was promoting at one point but he didn’t focus on it too much so I get what you mean 😅
@@joekaprodit’s good to appreciate things that you use but not directly imposing on someone… the video is impactful, you can now choose to be curious on gears he used.
i get you bro just wait as every other “content creator” solds himself and promotes atleast 1-3x per video, but until then i am watching! I hate it so much, i bought YT premium years ago just to not see ads but then everytime i watch some videos i need to be prepared to skip promotions inside the video like wtf..
@@peppek8631 yup. No ad breaks. No squares pace or artlist. And even the tripod was featured, but in a way that implied its what they use, and not necessarily what you should go out and buy right away. I actually get it. Sponsorships and affiliate sales let them get paid to keep making content, but this video was a breath of fresh air. I feel like I learnt way more than if the sole purpose was to sell me specific products.
That’ll change once he gets more and more exposure, maybe even land some brand deals/sponsorships and what not. 😂
Bro this is literally the definition of art, get this man the exposure he deserves
He is very big on insta and tiktok though
just the words that was flying through my mind
❤❤❤❤❤
amen!!!! im locked innnn!!!
likeeeeee!!!!! yoo
Brother I cant express it. A master class in under 8 minutes. People pay 50 grand to spend 2 years studying this and don't get as good a lesson as this video you've made. Kudos, and thank you.
Well said! Totally agree 👍🏽
Enjoy the intimacy while it lasts people. This brother is exploding this year for sure! 👌🏽
I just discovered Karl's channel. I'm surprised he has under 100k subs after 5 YEARS of posting videos. Did his content get good only recently?
@@lbrtvlldr in my opinion he has be nailing his craft for over 3 years now but definitely became legendary over the last year. He hasn’t been rewarded for his work as much as he deserves but I feel a tipping point is coming. 🚀
What a strange COmpliment... Maybe Intimacy's his thang...
absolutely
LET HIM COOK, literally, as a chef. Chef kiss
Literally 16 seconds in, I said to myself, " this is a cinematographer". You are immensely talented
the best creators are when they are small and you watch it instantly go "daaaaaamn" which doesnt happen often, sir you done it
THIS is SMALL?!?! Dang.
THIS is SMALL?!?! Dang.
Absolutely insane man. The level of work you put into this is wild
Honestly so much work. I’m exhausted. Gotta start scripting the next one
@@KarlShakur An easy search: BIBLE + FREEMASONRY, through which lies and truth becomes easy listed.
So far i have listed 28 lies and 28 truth.
Have you started to dig? What have you found?
What do you know about masonry club?
About the evil rulers of this world, masons, what you know about them?
This was peak I am inspired!! @@KarlShakur
How tf are your videos not getting millions of views? this is immaculate quality!
because they do not deserve it?
Give it time yall’ the algorithm will pick him up 😊❤
@@ItsAllWavyBabyoh yeah! Just wait!!
My guess is because of the thumbnail.
This is incredible. I've never seen so much effort and talent put into a single UA-cam tutorial. You are raising the bar.
This is a fact... !
"You gotta be theatric because this is the arts!"
LOVE this. The too-cool-for-school content creator trope can be so paralyzing to fit into when getting started with this
that "shoot from the shadow side" shot and edit was a killer flame. This video just showed that you're onto the next level. Most unique from all the other videos you have - a build up to this powerful transcendence of creativity.
This is my first video from this dude and I’m expecting this every time now going forward lol😂
"People who can't do, teach instead" has to be the most incorrect thing when it comes to this video. wow 🤩
For real.. I was pulled in the minute it started all the way till the end!!!
I was pulled in, dove into comments and will now go back and pay attention, thank you
I almost never leave a comment…but I have to this time. This video reignited a passion I forgot that I had, and honestly did nothing short of inspire me. The way you included elements of film making into the explanation of film making with seemingly such ease feels almost like an inside joke that I felt I was in on (even though I’ve never met you or seen your videos before). I genuinely don’t know how this video could have been better. Bravo.
Holy smokes I just stumbled upon beautiful art for the sake of art and artists. This almost never happens on YT. A miracle!
visual & storytelling masterclass
Insane level of quality in these vids, literally watching a movie (more thought out and better scripted than most Hollywood films) about how to make movies of yourself. Keep it up man 🙏
Ride it guy 😅
fr the quality and content is amazing
This was DISTGUSTINGLY well made. The quality was inspiring tbh, so thanks and maximum props.
I started watching this while editing and it completely drew me in to the point that I didn’t want it to end. You sir, are a MASTER at your craft 🔪
So unbelievably underrated... Keep this shit up bro forreal
Thanks so much man. More stuff coming
Bro as a chef who became a freelance visual creative. THISSS WAS BRILLIANT 👊🏽
Holy shit!! This just gave me a new found appreciation for the craft of filmmaking!
This video is a gold mine for new videocreators. I can't grasp all the advice I got just yet.. I need some time to process and I also need to watch it a few more times
I subbed to you a year or two ago, it is INSANE you don't have a larger viewbase on here.
You have, by far, the most distinct style with which you convey your ideas, and without leaning on cliches.
Just so goddamn good
This video made me realize that if you are passionate about something the feeling that you give to whoever is what is worth whatever price you can give to the art
this is 100% the type of creative ideas i have in my head. your eye for this style is impeccable.
This was f*cking insane. Omg, this level of work and artistic design for a "How to fil yourself" video is remarkable. My goodness, I'm so impressed.
Amazing bro, the quality of your videos always surprises me how they constantly keep overdoing the previous one. Hats off to you, you’re literally a diamond in the raft 👑
The fact you don't have millions of subscribers in WILD! Holy damn I'm looking at film in a whole new light now
oh my god I haven’t seen anything this good in forever. So much packed into an 8 minute video but it was all so well edited and put together. It’s blowing my mind honestly had to pause and write this. A masterpiece seriouslyyyy
Dude, everything you put out is pure eyecandy. Mad respect, man 🔥
I feel like I should’ve paid to watch this😭😭🫶🏾
Hahahah right?
dont give youtube ideas
You paid with your time
KARL! This is a masterpiece on how to deliver knowledge trough the coolest way possible! BRAVO!
This is hands down the best video I’ve seen in ages. Full stop. I’ve watched dozens of how to film yourself videos, and not a single one touched on most of the key points you laid out, and your advice just resonated and rang true, and you didn’t sell me anything!! And instead of checking the time to see how long was left, like I do for 99% of UA-cam videos, I found myself wishing the video was an hour long. That was beautiful and brilliant and pure art. You are gifted in what you do. Thank you for sharing with the world. Keep going.
this is the best video i’ve ever laid my eyes upon. absolute greatness man, i can’t wait to say i knew you before everyone on the internet found this masterpiece.
The vibe of your videos is so warm, I love it
3:15 bro chopped the onion without peeling it. You have my full respect.
Holy shit, this is by far one of the very, very best videos on filmmaking I have ever seen on youtube. You are a master of visual storytelling, Karl. Every second of this video is a lesson in itself. Creativity, humor, technical excellene - you got all ingredients for a perfect menu. All the best to you from Germany!
This is freakin insane. I’m at home and trying to come up with ideas and searched ‘how to film self’ on the UA-cam search bar and honestly just wow, I don’t know what else to say🤣 I’m glad I found your page
I see a lot of Gawx’s video techniques, and its awsome, i love how both of you see life as a content for a good video. Keep it uuuuppp❤
Bro this video was really an Eye candy, instant sub.
Appreciate it!
The way this suddenly got recommended to me is eerie. I've been really excited about this creative filming project I want to do this year and was stuck on a certain method. THANK YOU!! Your creativity is beyond appreciated ♥
this gets me so excited to start filming and making my own creative art, all these different shots and techniques make my brain just brew and explode with ideas, thank you for this, i’ll be checking out your channel your film style is incredible
I can’t even fucking move cause this is so good!
Thank you. I'm not remotely interested in trying this but stumbling upon this really really makes me appreciate the channels I watch that spend so much effort on details. Raises the bar.
This video is absolutely incredible. Not just the amazing techniques and visuals but the point it gets across for the actual "how to" part of it. I love it. Can't wait to see you completely blow up!
I typed in the search bar "how to shoot self video for youtube " to help me get over this creative paralysis. Yours was the first one I clicked on because I felt that it was going to be a passion driven perspective, I was so right. This was brilliant, I was so happy to be at the learning tree. Masterful explanation and videography. I'm going to have to watch it a few more time to get past my slack jaw and start absorbing knowledge and technique. Its going to be a pleasure to watch your rise. Bingo.
Cinematography has to be one of the most beautiful forms of art that one can perceive something through.
this is someone who truly understands the art of film and pays attention to all the best details. Thank you. well done.
You're the definition of a master content creator.
My goal is to be as good as you, starting now.
I'm.. you literally blew my mind.
This is the first video that I see of you and I already admire you,
I'll learn from you as much a I can.
Thank you for lighting my spark
You are incredible, and I so look forward to everything you put out into the world. I can't wait to try some of these techniques out myself. Thank you for your art. 💛🌟
My goodness! I knew this type and level of perfection was possible (with a lot of organization, creativity and talent), but this is the first time I've seen it materialize in front of me! It's so comforting, soothing and reassuring!
I’m an independent artist, but I’ve been learning how to shoot decent videos. I’m coming out with my first music video that I shot completely on my own. I wish I found your channel before I shot the footage! This video alone is a breath of fresh air in the world of YT videography instruction. I seriously dig your style. Thanks for putting this stuff out. Watching this got me excited to record my next video!
why does this man not have 10 million subs yet? the ART. the CHEFery.
Been following your photography for years but your UA-cam just popped up today and bro I am STUNNED. The creativity, effort, and production level are off the charts. Keep it up!
you not only told us how to do the shots but you showed us what it will look like through the video. I absolutely loved this. You are incredibly talented!!!!
I just found your channel tonight, and this is the 2nd video in a row I'm watching of your content. I am deeply, truly impressed with your vision, skill, work, and commitment. Some of the best videos I've ever seen on UA-cam!!! Bravo, sir!
i'm not new to Karl.. he's been a beast on instagram for years and years until he recently started youtube. there is no surprise he will be an absolute beast on this platform and 1 million is not far away for this dude. i love this video
bro made a masterpiece on how to make a masterpiece. what an inspiration!
i don't usually subscribe after only one video but gods was this amazing, and inspiring at the same time. it didn't just teach me some things about artistic filmmaking but it helped to generate ideas and personal motivation, and that's something i really appreciate.
so glad there’s still storytellers like you out here
This video inspired a whole new playlist. Storytelling! Holy moly, the effort, the craft!
You've set the bar so high. I feel respected and loved through your every shot. Watching other youtubers now makes it challenging. Truly inspirational. Thank you, brother ❤
This was absolutely phenomenal!!! Please keep perfecting your craft, you garnered a new supporter!! This was my first video and I can't wait to see what else you have instore!
This is my favorite video. I learned so much watching what you were doing so I forgot to listen and had to rewatch it. Only to realize that you were spitting even more knowlegde. will definitely be coming back to watch this video in the future. Amazing job🔥
Wow your creativity pushes my boundaries and really makes me think of the shots I take.
just created a playlist here on youtube where I can save important lessons on film making... this is the first one. Gonna grab it all and lock it in my mind and heart. Thank you!
oh. my. gosh. This video is absolute FIRE 🔥🔥🔥This is inspiring. I think one of the biggest takeaways is that STORY MATTERS. And in order to tell a good story, you can't just pull it out of your a$$. It takes planning. And planning takes WORK. So often we see a piece on UA-cam and fail to recognize the many hours it took of hustle and grind to put something like this together. Absolutely brilliant. Keep up the great work.
Unbelievable how much effort you put in your videos. This Channel is absolutely underrated. Thanks your great Work!
Once in a while, you come across a video that makes you wonder how the hell you get to watch that amount of effort and talent put into a video for free. That my friend is definitely one of those, thank you for that❤
Bro this has been the most useful video of this whole category of videos that exists that I’ve ever seen. It is a masterpiece. Consider myself a new and a huge fan
the creativity behind these shots is absolutely insane. i've never subscribed so fast in my entire life
YOU ARE A REAL ONE
THIS IS THE ARTS!
This was short, sweet, to the point and packed with important information.
You got another subscriber locked in.
I’m happy I stumbled across this. I fell out of love with the craft over the last 2 years. This video is definitely apart of the re-spark. Shoutout your visual nuggets too. They made me stay.
getting the ideas and perceptions is really important ! That's how transitions is born
dude I cant fathom the amount of time and effort this took! As a person who always wanted to start filmmaking but never did (mostly due to excuses). This video sure has given me the push to start! Thanks
I’ve commented on a handful of videos since UA-cam came out as I rarely feel compelled to, but I just had to on this one. Bro, this is one of the dopest visuals, articulately but simply explained tutorials I’ve ever watched! And you’re a such a cool mutherfker!! I deeply appreciate your expression and dedication to your craft. Noted, taught and subscribed - thank you 🙏🏽
Never subscribed on a channel so fast from sheer work. First 30secs I was sold. This is 🔥🔥 🔥 man
I love how you did this. The way you used actual cooking as an analogy to explain your topics WHILE DOING THEM idk how to explain it
You are probably my favorite content maker on the internet. Love your style and the creativity you put into your work. And yeah, when I think about Karl, I automatically think about top shots 🤣
You‘re a cool dude
This is so good. First time finding Karl, and instantly subscribed. Now to go back and watch everything else you've got!
amazing video karl, you've been an absolute gold mine of content for creating cinematic filming videos on yt!
He's speaking so passionately about it! He really loves what he does ♥
no joke the way you shot this inspired me. The way you were able to hold me attention the hold time and its hard now the way i have been on youtube is insane! well done 🙌
I’ve been watching your videos on Instagram and learned a lot but dude you earned my respect way more after this masterpiece. The best part is I needed this and it popped up on my explore because i’m gonna be shooting my thesis film and shooting myself was the scariest part but now i’m ready. Thanks for this video and hope to show you what I make after getting inspired from these methods! 🙌🏽
This video is absolute art man, keep it up. First time seeing your videos and I’m fully in tranced!
I get some hyped up in my mind when I see a work of art like this and then I procrastinate and make excuses (tbh). Incredible you made a tutorial such a work of art. Inspiring!
This is the best video I’ve seen over this. This video itself is art.
I subbed recently and i still cant wrap my head around the amazing production in your videos
From France ... Bro ! Thx Sooo much ! God bless you 4 help that u give ! 🙏🏿
I found your channel two hours ago and you're like my favorite yt channel currently
This is incredible, I’ve never held a camera & Gained a desire to learn after hearing your passion explained poetically
this inspired me to fr go work on an edit I've been making. thank you. i know this attention to detail and artistic infusion will pay off
Just came across this video and your channel for the first time and man you were COOKING! Love the video and now I gotta see if I can at least put some bits of what you said into my videos
This video is a master class in few minutes, imagine learning and enjoying the process , the storytelling is just magnificent. I one day will get here keep teaching us 🙏🏾
haven't been forced to comment like this before. what a piece of art. amazing work man.
This video is the first time I've seen you and your ART Karl and I subscribed right after the video ended. I found this video to be very inspiring. Bravo!
What an incredible video!! You are amazing at filming, storytelling and teaching. Mind blown ❤
i’ve seen too many of these, this one actually stood out. thank you karl🙏 you’re a phenom📹
