Dude! Just stumbled onto your channel and Love all of your content... But I just realized that you used to be with Ellusionist... Brad Christianson's videos were gold to me years ago... Ambitious card, Ninja, Ninja 2...lol...love it
Wow you've inspired me to get into photography and videography. Back story and how you feel about people telling you what to do is exactly how I am and what I'm going through/feel. This video helped a lot. Thanks man
Anxiety and fear of failure have been my roadblocks for far to long. It's time to rectify that problem! Thanks for all the vlogs. They are helping me to become a film maker, hopeful a decent one. Ta!
What's up Peter! I'm a 35 year old videographer from California... It's wild to sit here and listen to your story because it's almost identical to my own. The one thing I am struggling with right now is Vloging. I've attempted to kick off a proper video because I'm so worried about what people are going to think of me. My wife also keeps telling me to just "go for it" ...The point of this comment is to share with you the uncanny resemblance our lives have. Thank you for your content and I truly appreciate all of your insight from the last couple months. You channel was by far the most "no-brainer" to subscribe to. Incredibly inspired. Keep it up, man! Much love from Cali! ;)
Hey Peter. Real quick, I think your wife is awesome for supporting you, especially in your early days. Without the motivation from the ones around us, we would not be where we are, and you would not influence us the way you do. So thank you to her.
Pete, this really inspires me (funny enough, I'm already very inspired, so maybe the right word is "assures") in my goals. I aspire to be a travelographer, UA-camr, and motivational speaker. You've really helped me over the past year or so that I've been watching your channel. Thank you so much.
Dude, 'I need to make those mistake/have those successes' is wise. This is how I learn, too, and build the confidence to do more and go farther and enjoy it more.
Man you nailed my reason for starting a blog, getting over the fear of what people thought of me. It has been a wild ride for sure but I feel I am finally getting comfortable being on camera and it has translated into my social life as well!
really nice content, I love this channel! when I started photographing, I was too poor to shoot digital so it was exclusively film for three years! it really does make you appreciate photography as an art form and teaches you about framing and thinking about what you're about to do. digital is handier but film is something special. I still shoot film, to this day.
I love your enthusiasm and passion for the photographic and videographic art, as well as the overall good vibes you spread with each video. Top noch content, and top noch quality. Much love from Romania!
I love this...omg. As it started. It caught me. I feel I see things that so many do not..not only as a creative...but also from being widowed very young. The filters were removed from my eyes. Love how you capture such amazing perspectives.
I started watching your videos for a while now and I must say that as far as youtube go, for the photography/videography topic, you are the best and explain the best. Hope to see more tutorials / or small tutorials (like some effects or stuff). Cheers and good luck !
Hey Pete, another great video! When you don't have other options, you just do! I love it! I got fired from a job and decided I'll make a production company. 2 years later I don't regret it. FYI, 14:25 was disheartening. Selling your worth is very important. Just because you wouldn't pay $1k for a shoot doesn't mean someone else won't. In sales, everyone is a millionaire. But I agree from a generalized basis that you still need to ball park your worth. Anyways, thanks for doing what you do brother!
I just started watching your videos couple of days ago, learning so much from a great person like you in just few days means a lot to me, i cant thank you enough, you are the best!
I love how you always make me feel like I'm there. It's the little things like going to buy a chair and taking us with you or ordering a pizza after reading a comment about pizza. That's like 30 minutes of time for 10 seconds of video.. but that's what makes you, well you. You are a legend. ✌🏽
Peter - I am in the process of making the leap into photgraphy/videography as a business at the moment as someone who has spent decades in consulting and, like you, is a little rebellious and anti establishment. Its scary but invigorating at the same time. Keep making your guide videos please they are incredibly helpful and informative and, enjoyable to watch. Its rare I find true inspiration these days but you certainly make me want to go snapping and editing!!! Thanks for the great content!
I appreciate people like peter that have a strong drive , I'm working on becoming a free lance artist every minute that I spend stuck at work I'm thinking about creating art , i can't stand being stuck in a warehouse full of inspiration only for it to be wasted during those work hours.
Awesome Q & A. Probably the best I've seen on here so far. I'm really inspired by do or die mentality and feels that it must be thrilling experience when you do make it. Thanks for being real and being awesome. Looking forward to the next one!
Dude... 100% accurate on the weirdness of walking around holding a camera. The fear is so intense at first. But as you said, gets easier. Encouraged to see another Canadian vlogger blowing up!
Peter McKinnon, your videos have really inspired me. I have just binge watched your channel like an award winning television show. You are really awesome and it's so cool that you started vlogging because it made you uncomfortable. That is the main reason I recently started my vlog. I wanted to do something that absolutely terrified me and put me out of my comfort zone. Thank you Peter
You're such a natural vlogger and all-round inspirational cool dude! I love watching your videos and I love that you've said you're an introvert and an extrovert. I've been thinking about starting to vlog so I can care less about what other people think and also to boost my self-confidence again. You make me wanna do it even more! Keep up the awesome work 👌🏽
I was having a pretty bad morning until I watched this video. Thanks you for all the work you put into your craft. Thanks for all the motivation! You really do change people's lives.
Man I love your videos so much! I tried and tried to get in casey neistat but never really could. But there is something super flowy and for me personally relatable to your content. Just followed you on insta and excited to get a sense of your skills as a photographer keep rocking my man! Thanks TB
Awesome Q&A! As a photographer myself for the last 8 years I totally agree with your answers! You photographed my cousins wedding years ago (Lauren and keith) and my husband and I have been doing UA-cam the last 1.5 years on Somers Vlogs channel and we recently found you on UA-cam through suggested vids! Awesome job we love your channel and amazing to see it's growth! Keep it up :)
Never thought that you also care so much about what people would think. Glad to see that you've already overcome it. I'm still working on overcoming it myself 😅
You are a true inspiration even though I'm a 14 year old music producer and not much into photography, you inspired me to do photography as well and your tutorials and even vlogs have somehow helped me and I love your channel.
Only just recently discovered your videos and love them! You're a huge inspiration to me. I also want to start getting in front of the camera to get over my "fear" of what people think of me.
I love your videos so much that I don't skip the ads on them. I hope you understand the gravity of my sacrifice and subsequently how much I care about you getting paid to continue making these.
that intro clip was bangin! could watch that for a while... nice q&a, when you did weddings did you second shoot first or just go straight in with what you knew...
I like your energy!! Thanks for sharing that you are introvert and extrovert at the same time! I am like that too!! Now I am not feeling that I am wierd! Or...maybe I AM still wierd!! And that is ok!! Have a good one!!
I am happy I found this channel. I am always filming and I was discouraged when I was told I have a problem. I really do love it. I could film anything. I feel like I could get somewhere if I keep at it.
OMG, I'm CCWITHRAE! Honestly almost dropped my laptop, thank you for answering my question. I am more on the introverted side and I am very self-conscious of people looking at me in general and trying to get out there with a camera which only makes me stand out more has kept me from doing so.
So relatable. I'm super self conscious about how i look, sound, or act like on film. Maybe vlogging is a good solution. My friends gave me the same advice your wife gave you. Those people will never see you again, just send it.
That bit about how to charge for your photos, that we are the ones putting in the time and effort to develop the skill really stuck with me. Thanks dude, great video as always, and if you're ever looking for an intern, look no further ;)
I'm the same way when it comes to jobs and the rules. I got laid off in August and don't want to go back to that world. Working on multiple UA-cam channels and expanding my skill set. I want to make for me first. It's nice to see a fellow creative on that path. Nice work!
i would like to tank you, i bought my first camera and lenses ( canon 700d+50mm 1.8+ samyang 14mm) because of your vids, i was not sure bout doing and by looking at you i did it! keep it up, your channel will grow really fast!
Hey Peter, great video. I can relate to the educational part. Didn't do specific studies, just went out and did it. All you need to get there. Selfstudy and dedication. Keep up the good work. If you ever need vfx let me know!
Whenever i feel sad or I just want to relax, I come to this channel... Your videos are soooooooo relaxing to watch.
Thanks!
Same totally
Kritthekid like he said take some photos to express what you feel
Doing it rn. hahaha
Kritthekid absolutly right !!
THE best content creation guide on UA-cam. Period.
Abhishek Shah trust me !!!
Absolutely agree
Abhishek Shah Agree!👍🏽
agree
agree :)
I love when people talk through the need to belch 11:37 Reminds me of Jeff Goldblum.
Dude! Just stumbled onto your channel and Love all of your content... But I just realized that you used to be with Ellusionist... Brad Christianson's videos were gold to me years ago... Ambitious card, Ninja, Ninja 2...lol...love it
Woah weird seeing you here
The opening winter montage made my hot coffee taste that much better........
LOL! Love this.
Peter McKinnon which do you think is the best budget camera on a budget of 300-400$ ? im bettween the nikond3300 and the cannon t6
Κωσταντινος Γεωργιαδης get canon t6i
Κωσταντινος Γεωργιαδης μήπως ξέρεις κάποια καλή κάμερα μέχρι 300 € ;

Peter don't get me wrong on this but I love you for the contend and insides of your work and personal live you give us. Such an inspiration!
Man you nailed my reason for starting a blog, getting over the fear of what people thought of me. It has been a wild ride for sure but I feel I am finally getting comfortable being on camera and it has translated into my social life as well!

digital is handier but film is something special. I still shoot film, to this day.
The effort you put into your videos for shots and B-Roll footage is inspiring, thanks for that!
Listens to this 3 years later there are so many questions that you answered that I have been asking myself a lot. Thanks so much Peter.
I love your enthusiasm and passion for the photographic and videographic art, as well as the overall good vibes you spread with each video. Top noch content, and top noch quality. Much love from Romania!

By far my new favourite channel! Thanks for all the time and effort you put into these vids man.
I started watching your videos for a while now and I must say that as far as youtube go, for the photography/videography topic, you are the best and explain the best. Hope to see more tutorials / or small tutorials (like some effects or stuff).

Anyone here watching this in 2019? This has to be one of the most epic QandA videos I've ever seen!

How love how you stopped and actually ordered a pizza and implemented that in the vid :) So natural. Pure genius. Love your work man.
B-Roll is just amazing when Peter creates it.
Just found your channel a couple days ago and I already love what you do. Keep up the great work!
The most awesome quality production on youtube! I love this channel! Thanks for teaching and inspiring Peter!
Hell yeah Pete! Stoked on this video and your authenticity. Congrats!
Peter, I'm so happy I found your channel! You are so real and give such great advice!

In a complete different industry, but absolutely love your channel! You're really entertaining and I love watching your videos!

I love your style man and how fast your channel has grown. keep up the good work
You seem to be really happy today. I've really enjoy this video, it have made me smile. Thanks!
24mm is my fav lens, too!! It was my first one and I LOVE it. It's perfect for my channel and a MILLION other things.
I can relate to the introvert/extrovert personality as well as the Vlogging in public concerns. Glad you do what you do!
Man I love your videos so much! I tried and tried to get in casey neistat but never really could. But there is something super flowy and for me personally relatable to your content. Just followed you on insta and excited to get a sense of your skills as a photographer keep rocking my man!
Thanks
TB
love your style and your good vibes buddy! 🤗
Cheers! Appreciate it!
Filming yourself and putting the videos on youtube, is the best way to get over your fear of what people think of you!
your videos are straight up on another level
Peter...you need to add motivational speaker to your business card. Your videos inspire me to think and get out of my own way. YOU ROCK!
Awesome Q&A! As a photographer myself for the last 8 years I totally agree with your answers!

I fooreal tear up a little bit, because you make me realize the true talent I belittle so much. Love you Pete!
I love the honesty in your videos. great advice all around
Never thought that you also care so much about what people would think. Glad to see that you've already overcome it. I'm still working on overcoming it myself 😅
Thank you for sharing the combination of comedy and straight to the point is really fun to watch your vlogs sir. Keep inspiring us man
i love your videos man. keep helping me grow as a photographer/film maker !
You are a true inspiration even though I'm a 14 year old music producer and not much into photography, you inspired me to do photography as well and your tutorials and even vlogs have somehow helped me and I love your channel.
Only just recently discovered your videos and love them! You're a huge inspiration to me. I also want to start getting in front of the camera to get over my "fear" of what people think of me.
Keep doing what you're doing Peter. You are just Amazing... like truly AMAZING. Please Collaborate with many other Artists/Photographers. Kudos!
I absolutely love this guy.
I love your videos so much that I don't skip the ads on them. I hope you understand the gravity of my sacrifice and subsequently how much I care about you getting paid to continue making these.
Heyy! Thats me on the second to last question! Im Robert Rayhart, Thanks for answering! :D
I love that you just grabbed that camo seat to sit on !! I bought all 3 styles of them at Walmart for my sunrises whilst hiking. #Gadgets
I love your videos. I always know I'm on the right path when I hear the tips you give!
Your channel has grown so much. You bring quality content that we all love❤️
Congrats
that intro clip was bangin! could watch that for a while... nice q&a, when you did weddings did you second shoot first or just go straight in with what you knew...
Dang, make sure you don't skip ads on this dude's channel. The little bit of change we get adds up to him making more awesome content.
Thanks for the motivations as you always share your ideas.
I like your energy!! Thanks for sharing that you are introvert and extrovert at the same time! I am like that too!! Now I am not feeling that I am wierd! Or...maybe I AM still wierd!! And that is ok!! Have a good one!!
I am happy I found this channel. I am always filming and I was discouraged when I was told I have a problem. I really do love it. I could film anything. I feel like I could get somewhere if I keep at it.
Can you do a vid where you shoot with a disposable camera ?
You're awesome Peter! Keep up the great work - I can't wait to see it!
Man, after watched just one and a half video from you, I had to subscribe. Love your energy! Great stuff!
Your channel is growing at an insane rate! Good on you man!
This channel is on its way to 1 million by then end of the year!! Crazy
OMG, I'm CCWITHRAE! Honestly almost dropped my laptop, thank you for answering my question. I am more on the introverted side and I am very self-conscious of people looking at me in general and trying to get out there with a camera which only makes me stand out more has kept me from doing so.
Thank for sharing your reasons for vlogging. You're such an inspiration for us introverts everywhere.
You had 110K subs last week...... Must feel good for your work to be appreciated like that! Keep it up man!
"You don't know fear until you've shot a wedding on film." I'm not sure truer words have ever been spoken.
So relatable. I'm super self conscious about how i look, sound, or act like on film. Maybe vlogging is a good solution. My friends gave me the same advice your wife gave you. Those people will never see you again, just send it.

I've been watching in your channel for whole day, can't stop at all 😝
I’m glad that your wife told you just do it! If not we weren’t able to see your video up until now! Love your video btw
Hey Peter... when your using the Osmo do you use the stock DJI app or something else?
For the record, I hit the thumbs up on your videos before I hit “skip ad”. And I have never regretted it.
So many nuggets for Us just starting out... Thanks Peter!
Just a moment ago found your channel, already watched so many videos, awesome stuff man!
alluman00 👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾
Me too!
I'm the same way when it comes to jobs and the rules. I got laid off in August and don't want to go back to that world. Working on multiple UA-cam channels and expanding my skill set. I want to make for me first. It's nice to see a fellow creative on that path. Nice work!
You are like a way better version of casey neistat
HAHAHAHA
Daniel Silva ❤
Daniel Silva 👐

My first camera was a Vilia, got from my late grandfather. Then bought a Zenit 12 when I was in college.
Absolutely just love your videos always inspiring
Hey Peter, great video. I can relate to the educational part. Didn't do specific studies, just went out and did it. All you need to get there. Selfstudy and dedication. Keep up the good work. If you ever need vfx let me know!
Peter your videos are a great inspiration. Even your b-roll made me wanna go film too. Love you man
Thanks Peter .. Man you're such a huge inspiration
Would love a video on how you color correct within premiere pro or which LUTS you use
