Great breakdown Sam! As for the "set up" shots - that's the filmmaking aspect to my videos i like to incorporate and I would say my vlogs are more of a hybrid :)
Thanks Riza! - love what you’re doing for the platform!
Yeah you break UA-cam rules and waste people's time
@@elorenelorenelorenelorenelorenu waste more time by projecting aimless anger through empty critiques 🙌
“keep the hate in your mouth, buy it drinks, keep it fed”
I agree with the crater. I watch more UA-cam than “TV” so I always have the idea that I am watching something for entertainment. To me it’s like watching a movie or a tv show. Real or fake isn’t as important as long as it isn’t made to look real and it’s all pre staged. Great job both Riza and also great breakdown.
@@eloreneloreneloreneloreneloren and you watch it?
Right now Life of Riza is one of my favourite channels. It is cinematic storytelling and refreshing to see someone not doing what everyone else is doing when it comes to the way UA-cam wants you to make videos. 👏🏼
This was a great video! Keep doing these break down, also curious about music breakdown theories too. U had good observation there too.
I came for a video about Life of Riza and stayed for you. You’re a natural and this is a great break-down. You talked about all my questions and thoughts about her video 👏🏽👏🏽
Agree totally. I find Riza ponderous and boring, and Sam made her seem even more so.
After 12min of discovering you, I'm already a fan. Super interesting, great personality, real value added. I love it.
I just recently found her videos and I want to get into film. Her films are so inspiring and this breakdown was really cool to watch.
I love to see real raw authentic youtube videos that show mundane daily things and people's experiences. I am documenting my life and it has been a true inspiration to some people, especially I am going through my self-journey at the moment. A lot of people can relate to that and people are tired of these fake influencers who are just chasing $$$, instead of them chasing money they should be chasing inwards...
Spot on! Thanks for sharing!
13:12 I love how your breakdown incorporate how the video was actually filmed! Please keep incorporating more of this reality because as a viewer i sometimes think to myself the speed and accuracy to get the shot in one take so anxiety inducing 😂
Watching all your videos, keep it going!
I'm so glad I found your channel, I could cry! I've been looking for this for years, and I love Life of Riza's channel.
Hi Sam,
First, I would like to point out, your breakdown was great! Second, thank you for speaking on the connection of the music and how she delivered her content with montage and then her words and back to montage. You often hear people talk about how video editing and music kind of coincide but I haven't seen any that broke it down where I've understood it exactly. Finally, If this video is any indication on the rest of your content, I'm subscribing. Really really well done!
Dude you're so good at this!!! Keep it up
you are a breath of fresh air man. great vid. tons of useful info here but delivered in a way where i feel like part of the convo and not being 'talked at'
Amazing video Sam! I just found your chanel and I am loving your last videos. Keep it going! 💪🏼
I have been watching Kariza'a channel for some time and I have just fallen in love with the videos. Being a filmmaker I know how hard it is. Also I have been watching your videos too. They are super fun. I just loved how you explained everything in the video. I don't know how to say this but, thank you so much. ❤
9 months later. And UA-cam brought your video back to me. Why the F aren’t you more than 10k subs????? What the heck bro? Your videos are 🔥
Someone make a break-down of sam's video's, that would be a dope video idea
Then sam breaks down their break down
And then someone breaks down the break down of Sam’s break down of a break of Sam’s video
I’ve followed her for a couple years.
Her style definitely speaks to me and as I’ve been on this path to developing my own voice and videos there are techniques she uses I hope to capture.
I’ll be watching a few more of your videos and will be checking out your course. Thanks.
I thoroughly enjoyed this breakdown. It was insightful, but the last bit was also motivational. Thank you.
I like how he praises her work while also giving constructive feedback
You're genuinely too funny bro. 🤣 14:20 never thought a breakdown video would crack me up that good.
I love how you break it down, is like another story within story! Very entertaining, Super great done job 👏
Your videos are quickly becoming must watch UA-cam for me. Keep them coming!
ONLY CHANNEL TEACH YOU HOW UA-camRS MAKE THERE VIDEO STEP BY STEP, LOVE IT.
So I made my first comment half way through. Just finished. I hate it when people self promote their own content on someone else’s channel… BUT… I am also breaking half of UA-cam’s own rules and prove that it can work. Also, I’d have given up or got burnt out a long time ago if I was just chasing the algorithm and not making videos I cared about. Ok. Monologue over. Keep up the great work!
Your video breakdown really helping me learning to write a better script and editing. Thankyou soo much Sam! Keep it up!
These breakdowns are phenomenal. You both share the frustrations we have trying to appease the algorithm but at the same time make it feel possible to break "the rules". It's a journey I am working on myself but I love the films you produce. Keep it up!
The production value of the rushed scene, was jarring. Having some sense of the amount of effort it takes to pull off several of those shots and the lack of authenticity to the actual story did pull me out of the moment a bit. I wonder how many non-creators noticed though? It does drive the story well. That said, like the iMac and the notes, Riza is a vibe. Her style is so refreshinging and inspirational. Thanks for this breakdown. You've articulated so much that I love about her work.
loved that breakdown sam! thanks :) i've been following riza for over 3 years and i'm so happy her channel finally blew up so more people see how talented she is! 😍
I think you are totally right about the sense of urgency being undermined by the "set-upped" shots. of course it's about style and being engaging, but you shouldn't use style if that goes against what you are telling (i.e. being late) and it's the same if that's tv, cinema, or vlogs: doing the right decision and not just doing the coolest one, should be the filmmaking's way.
When I was watching the last seen, I also had the same feeling about authenticity. But on the other hand, it did not bother me because she is obviously having a scenario and so many creative thoughts that you almost watch her videos as you were watching a short film. I find her sincere for wanting to document her life, and while doing that putting all the skills and creativity into it since it is also her passion and profession, which escalates the sense of the moments of her life, ie. you could feel more of the excitement. Love her content and great breakdown.
This was incredibly well made. Bravo my friend.
Perfect breakdown! Very informative and entertaining at the same time ❤
“Filming while driving, naughty naughty” and that face expression from start to end 😂 that got me laughing so hard!
Great break down Sam! 😂
this is interesting content and very helpful, i love riza's creations too.
Wow thank you for breaking it down, this will help my future video. I'm also a fan of Riza. Now I'm your fan also. 😊
Huge fan of Riza but as a fellow filmmaker this was HILARIOUS, also because I could totally relate to what you were saying 😂 the amount of effort it takes to create a shot is insane. Respect to you and you’ve got yourself a sub!
I agree with the rush sequences. I think that is why I always liked Casey Neistat's clips when he cuts to him picking up the camera going to the next locations!
Wow, definitely would not know from a film maker aspects. You did such as good job showing everything!
Would not think of the 'non-authentic side' as I just enjoy watching her videos because they are so relaxing.
This being said, she is truly talented. Not only a filmmaker, storyteller but also an actress! Much appreciate both you and all filmmaker efforts in making videos~
Great video, man. I love your jokes and cuts 😄❤
I feel the same about the in-authenticity. I would rather feel that perspective of rushing rather than seeing footage more suited to normal speed of travel.
Nah I am ok with it. Movies have been inauthentic for years.
Sam, loved your breakdown! Your video in itself was as exciting as Riza’s 😂 I’m a new fan of Riza and she inspires me to create cinematic vlogs now - which is why I loved your point on the “set up” shots. As a viewer, I get sucked in to the narrative and visuals but when I try or plan to replicate these in my actual life, it makes me go “how the heck can I set up those angles when I’m ACTUALLY rushing!” 😂😂 I’d probably do it your way (handheld) but Riza’s reply also helps remind me that it’s partly filmmaking and those need planning! Thanks for these videos and breaking the rules of UA-cam!
I subscribed !!the way you filmed it is just so funny and more of a behind the scene of life of riza hahhahah
Mate, I thought you wrote and presented this so well, and I genuinely laughed at the gags. Keep it up!
I love it that your vid is waaaaaaay more interesting than Riza's. And, I know, it's easy to be critical, but I feel that everything Riza does is contrived.
Absolute master at your craft Sam. Making us filmmakers proud!
I love her so much and discover you at the same time! Win win ❤
What makes a big difference is that the way women creators (in general) edit in her niche and guys edit is completely different. Many women creators edit in this variation. But her Twitter is that theirs more story telling and way more engaging than others
i love your videos man! and I agree the 3rd act was shot with priority on vibecliche and not as authentic as an actual airport pickup(and we can feel it). to be fair I think it comes with age, a younger version of myself would be just as concerned with propping up narrative / presentation… but now that I’m older any inauthenticity reeks and I can’t not see/feel it. A possible fix for 3rd scene could have been quicker cuts all around so we don’t have time to think about it’s clear she set up her angles… quicker like an old dobrik ending would cut to the chase and deliver same emotion…
the odd depth and nuance of these thoughts, decisions, and convos is underrated and deeply appreciated
Thanks for always opening good conversations Sam! 👊🏻
oh and also I’m def signing up for the course! ❤️
Yeah man that’s a great point ! I too probably woulda shot the sequence like that when I was younger.. ( might do a video critiquing my own old vids! ) - thanks for the idea lol
damn, it was brilliant. Its like watching game with commentator. Great job
Great video Sam. Don't ever stop this series.
Here's are some creators you should make breakdown videos on
Ryan ng films
Bernardo Bacalhua
Gawx Art
Max Reisinger
Colt kirwan.
Gawk Art is amazing.. will deffo do one for him. And will check out the others too!
Your breakdown was great. Riza's video awesome!
And yeah the question you asked - I prefer authenticity of the moment and you're right if she'd shoot it handheld or even if selfie style running when she's late. It looks a lot real because the audience knows otherwise that it's all a setup and she's not late. She probably has 2 hrs left to plan the shots and do everything on time and get a shoot done before she goes on to pick someone and the home makeover and cleaning up was also probably done over a couple of days. Nobody gets their cleaning started and films it perfectly and also hopes to finish it in hours. It's a nice cinematic film but feels unauthentic in that sense.
Bro the dramatic sounds when you zoomed into the legs got me. I can’t stop laughing and the noise you made after 😂😂
I was able to suspend my disbelief in the 3rd act and thoroughly enjoyed that video. It was so well made and thanks for breaking it down.
Love this! Do you do roasts?
I definitely considered the setup of the shots and how it takes away from the realism when watching her video. But, her channel and expression is a more lighthearted version of life, rather than an accurate depiction of its stresses. It's sort of a Wes Anderson style escapism from actual difficulties that can help make light of life's troubles and see them in a smaller way.
Great breakdown. I stumbled across Riza's channel a few months ago, great to see something different and more authentic than most attention grabbing in your face content we see everywhere. I have now stumbled across your channel as well, great stuff!
as soon as kariza will notices this video
Great Breakdown, pls do this more often! The value these include is insane!
About her filming on the rush, as an audience I knew that it's not authentic, but I was happily shocked about the effort she has put in to filming that. So, I really enjoyed it 🎉
the 5 second hold was funny hahahaha keep it up!
Thanks for the amazing shopping trolley demo and the valuable rhythm/sound design segment. I agree the 'running late' narrative seems inauthentic. Riza does a great job, especially with her tracking shots! ◡̈
Ok so I enjoyed watching this, I hardly laugh or giggle while watching UA-cam videos but I absolutely did on this one, a couple times😅
😂😂😂 this breakdown is so good, and hilarious, great work man. Is that an Asda trolley? Those are the good ones.
Sam, for manifold ADHD and Autism reasons, I have a lot of trouble visualizing the finished product when I'm thinking of a shot. Likewise I have trouble looking at a shot and reverse engineering it. However, I desperately want to shoot more intentionally, and the hours of videos I've watched on rules of cinema, lighting, and everything else are missing something I need.
You speculating at a process like this and showing, more or less, how it would be done, in addition to saying WHY it's being done that way and what it's accomplishing, is seriously bridging some gaps for me. You've nudged me into storyboarding for the next video. Easy sub. Thank you.
i just discovered your channel from the casey neistat video.
this is the second video i've watched and you're already on my top 15 youtube creators.
AND I NEVER COMMENT!
i must've really liked your channel!
please please please keep making more videos like these.
alr cheers! onto the next video.
gonna binge watch the shit out of your channel.
Thanks so much mate, great to have you!
Don’t know why I got recommended this but I love it
Great breakdown, new to your channel as a beginner creator myself. Subbed.
Being fond of filming, your videos bring much clarity on shoot days. Keep Doing it!
What a great find this channel is. Instant subscribe. Well not instant. Well you know what I’m saying. I’m about halfway through the video and I subscribed. This is a long comment isn’t it? Anyway, back to the video. Happy to be on board!
Seriously can't believe how crazy good this video is! It's genuine, it's funny and it's informative! Bravo.
Very articulate....thanx much
this video is CRAZY good! huge respect, you’re a master at your craft
Three minutes in and I’m talking to myself about how awesome you are. Subscribed.
Dude, you're are so genuinely hilarious! I love the transparancy and bits you put together. Up next, I would love to see you dissect your own videos- Inception!
Great breakdown, yeah, my first thought when seeing your breakdown of her vid, there's no way this was done in a time crunch with that level of production value. Great story telling and aesthetics on her part, but man, if I were trying to get things done, it wouldn't be with multiple angles of storytelling cinematography, lol.
A bit like bullet journaling, some people actually just run their day, while others design a journal to showcase on pinterest that would never be scalable for the actual task at hand.
Awesome video dude! Subbed!
This was a great breakdown!! You made me chuckle many times throughout while providing some great info so thank you!!😆😊
Need more like this ❤❤❤
Your Channel is severely underrated.
The video was so informative
man i wish i could buy shares of your channel because your gonna 100x i love your humour you remind me finzar a bit and your analysis is really clean and perfetta. grande
This was a such a great video! So refreshing and well made. I'd love to see more of this type of content from you!
I watched the first 3 minutes of the video and immediately subscribed. Thank you for such a good video in a forest of people copying some UA-camr. To be different, to be interesting, to be incredible, to give 110% of yourself so that the video goes in the direction you imagined. And on the other hand, to make the viewer enjoy watching and the knowledge we discover together.
Pure gold!!
As a UA-camr, thank you from the bottom of my heart!! You've made my day !
I’m really new to this, and your insight that when you’re filming sequences you’re not actually working, you’re thinking about the shots and how to get what you want for the story: so helpful! Thank you!
Had to stop midway through the video to say, this is a very good breakdown
Thank you so much for sharing, this was so helpful :) . Lot's of inspo. New subbie here.
This is a man inspired by Casey! Love the work it has your own flare!
Some people make video breakdown. Some people should make video breakdown from this video breakdown.
Very interesting and entertaining breakdowns! (Silently hoping you'll do a Natalie Lynn video break down some day)
amazing video men. congrats.
A masterclass! As a UA-camr I appreciate the time and level of work put in to getting all those shots. I think Casey Neistat played a big part in paving the way for that level of commitment. It changed the UA-cam/vlogging game.
great job i'm diving in your channel to learn more
At 4:17, I started liking you and at 13:56, you won my heart and earned a subscription. Really nicely produced breakdown, entertaining and informative. Looking forward to your future videos.
Hello! new to UA-cam creation on a very tight budget!! I know exactly what you mean about the leaving the camera, walking off and coming back to it! those step counts must me off the scale! I'm a home professional decorator, I really like Riza style and that of the Pethericks - who also break the rules with 30 seconds of no verbal content and I love it, being (more than) slightly autistic I find the fast pace, over the top, bright colours and lots of images in a short time too much and overbearing. Thank goodness for @lifeofriza and thank you Sam for helping me understand and breakdown a style I hope to find a space of my own in. Great vid.
Great production!!! i laughed soooo much thanks bud
love this! so helpful! def keep it up it’s v inspiring!
loved this man !
with the studio and the shots really reminds me of OG Casey neistat crazyness...
This video got recommended on my home page because I've watched Life of Riza's videos --- great work UA-cam algorithm
Loved this deep dive into Riza's video! So glad I clicked this video, subbed 🙌
Great job Sam! I am starting my YT channel and wanted to learn from Riza and your video came up. Thanks for the detailed explanation!
INSANE: Just noticed that in the lights on/ lights off scene she even turned her head AND eyes with the beats of the track.
