I am a 31-year-old dude trying to start my UA-cam channel! Do I know what I doing? Hell no! Do I compare myself with other people? All the time! But I'm trying to stay true to myself and do things my way. To make things worse, English is not my first language but we only fail when we stop trying. See you guys there.
karl. im 18 years old now. been watching creative youtubers for my entire life now. this is hands down the best video i’ve seen on this platform. thanks.
your editing and style is actually insane. Its like a combination of all of the best creatives on yotuube mixed into one, then you throw in your own genuine authentic energy and style. I watch A LOT of youtube channels, and you are the most impressive ive seen.
I lost $40 my mom gave me to buy groceries and you posted this. After seeing this and talking to my mom I’m gonna take it easy in life. I’m going to stop comparing and start creating, ty brother Ty ty Ty happy birthday and wish you nothing but success
Man, oh man, I know it's tough but, it would be so good to see you here more often. These videos are seriously like a breath of fresh air of creativity that gets me pumped up again. Thanks for that. Keep hitting that upload button!
We're ahead of ourselves. Not enough people are willing to step out of their confort zone to be vulnerable around those they're supposed to be trusting.
This video means a lot to me. Me who has just moved to a new country, lost and wondering how to pave my own way. Wondering how to channel my creativity. Thank you
Man, you hit it on point every time. From creativity to storytelling to the vibes you give off - pure joy to watch and learn from you. Much appreciation!!!
I love how cinematic your videos are, the typography is beautiful, the audio, holy man this shit is beautiful. Thank you for making these videos bro, you're genuinely an amazing person.
I don’t know how much of UA-cam comments you see more than your Instagram, but I just wanted to let you know that I’ve been following you since 2019. I’ve always appreciated your willingness & openness to help other creatives from all walks of life. Personally, one of my favorite videos of yours and it holds a lot of key Gems and substance. Keep on creating brother & I pray that continue to stay blessed & that you continue to prosper in all areas King!!
Guys, I don’t know how many of you will relate to this but I feel a sense of pride. Every time I see a Karl’s new video because that will be my low-key flex down the line one year or two years later when this guy blasts on UA-cam that I been being watching him Since 50K till now….
You have no idea how greatly you have timed this video for me. I was so angry with myself because I was the only one who couldn't figure out my future in my friends group and I was so frustrated and lost, and this video came and it helped me with my own thoughts. Thank you so much for this and keep creating.
Your videos are not a breath of fresh air. They're a mountain filled with the purest oxygen there is. Karl, truly thank you for being who you are and inspiring others. Blessed.
Man, I just want to sit and watch you edit... Your style is so amazing and the flow is insane. The way you edit is like a song, perfect dynamics and levels with so much character, purpose and intention. Know editing is a journey, but wow, I’m truly inspired!
My god so good to ear that ! I'm totally lost as a creator, don't make any more money and I feel so alone and don't understand people around me but you're totally true Roy and you're friends too, thank you for that bro, if you'll come to Bali one day let me know I'm sure you can teach me some good life tips ! Cheers buddy !
bro i was legit laying on the couch cuz i had a late night, thinking a nap was about to take place. now im gassed at my laptop juices flowing. you’re the goat no tux
THANK YOU for creating this and sharing it. I'm 33 and I feel perpetually stuck, but this made me feel more at ease. Also, beautiful transitions and audio!
Damn Karl, I never take the time to comment on YT vids but the craft, design and soul you put into this is so clear and holds so much more inspiration than anything else i've seen in a long time, Thank you
This video made me angry, jealous, envious, excited, inspired and lost. That was amazing. Hope to find that driving force again that landed me my film scholarship a decade ago…fuck
Following you over the past 4 years has been such a roadmap for me. I'm graduating College in may and it's incredible to get the raw look at what your journey looked like after graduation. These insights into early Karl are my absolute favorite :)
I love videos where you watch the whole video and the very best, the small emotion push or the most motivation you get is where all ends and you know: that was worth watching. Thank you man!
This was freaking AMAZING. I was just looking for "filmmaking mindset" on the internet bc i'm struggling with my filmmaking job right now i'm not feeling as creative as i'd like to but this gave me such a mindset, creativiity, enterteinment dose that i think tomorrow is going to be completely different. So thanks so much for putting that effort on this video and showing what we really need to hear. Keep going
Is someone cutting onions??.. your storytelling and the emotional rollercoaster you took us through in this single video had me laughing and crying at the same damn time! Thanks for the reassuring message brother.. love.
This man is a 4xqin legend. I'm 37 and learning so much from this incredible mind. If you ever catch me posing super dope DJ videos soon, Karl Shakur is part of my process. Thank you sir.
Karl, I had to watch this video twice to get the message because I got caught up in how visually pleasing it is. Thanks for sharing your journey. Love your work. ❤
DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMN! Bro, tomorrow is my birthday, I realized a lot of things while trying to rise from the bottom and went to save myself by learning new techniques in editing, and the second video that I opened is this very video. This is just such a springboard, there are no words. You are wonderful! I wish all your dreams come true!)
This is probably the best video I've seen on UA-cam in years. Well done, thank you for making this. For sharing this for yourself, and speaking to all of us who need this reminder. It's wonderful.
You actually made me cry with this video, I just turned 20 a week ago, and i totally understand this. Keep it up bro, thank you for putting all the love in this video ❤️
For real Karl, you make me feel grounded and inspired after every single video I watch from you. I can't put it into words but you help me feel like I'm on the right track in my creative endeavor that I choose for my life. That means sooo much to me. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. ❤
I never really comment on video’s I watch, but for this one I really had to make an exception. I really needed this video and I need to thank you for that. This felt so related and gave me motivation and peace.
Dude. You made me tear up genuinely, this is a fucking amazing video and such a beautiful and relieving thing to hear, you hit every note. This is perfection
Bros the most under-rated creative on YT!
So true
He s going places, that s for sure!
right!?
Facts
I wouldn’t say all that, he’s good though borrowing a lot of video concepts from other more popular UA-camrs
One of the best videos I‘ve seen in a long time. Well done man! 💯
You’re a big inspiration aswell bro!
i watched this video based on your advice in Instagram. it is soo good
Holy shit its Nik.
Absolutely second that!
He is not a lazy UA-camr. Most of them sitting in there Office And talking to the camera
The way you maintained the same levels of sound quality is insane fr
I am a 31-year-old dude trying to start my UA-cam channel! Do I know what I doing? Hell no! Do I compare myself with other people? All the time! But I'm trying to stay true to myself and do things my way. To make things worse, English is not my first language but we only fail when we stop trying. See you guys there.
I don’t even know you but I’m proud of you bro 🥲 I’ll see you at the top.
karl.

thanks.
In the same boat as you, brother. I wish the best success to your career
i watch the video twice , 1st for the information, 2nd time to admire the absolute beauty of this man’s creativity
your editing and style is actually insane. Its like a combination of all of the best creatives on yotuube mixed into one, then you throw in your own genuine authentic energy and style. I watch A LOT of youtube channels, and you are the most impressive ive seen.
Karl you should have a million followers. This channel is always gold.

It was a REAL advice for me. I have been lost completely, so I just want to thank you.
You are too good man it’s truly insane how much work you put into this

Dude you might be my new FAVORITE UA-camr. Just discovered you from this video and I’m already obsessed with your style
We're ahead of ourselves. Not enough people are willing to step out of their confort zone to be vulnerable around those they're supposed to be trusting.
The editing is also insane. You need more recognition, this was amazing 🔥🔥🔥🔥
This video means a lot to me. Me who has just moved to a new country, lost and wondering how to pave my own way. Wondering how to channel my creativity. Thank you
Man, you hit it on point every time. From creativity to storytelling to the vibes you give off - pure joy to watch and learn from you. Much appreciation!!!
transitions as always are impeccable. The handwriting to inverted scanned handwriting at 0:56 was tooooo clean
Admire you big time, Karl. Happy three-oh! 🥳
Bro, I swear to God that you are greatly aiding me with that 10-minute video! Thank u🙏🏽
I love how cinematic your videos are, the typography is beautiful, the audio, holy man this shit is beautiful. Thank you for making these videos bro, you're genuinely an amazing person.
It's videos like these that always spark that insane inspiration that makes me restless. Love it!
That alone is the reason why I do this
I’m back under another vid. Thank you. I don’t think you understand how helpful this is.
I’m 30 in 2 weeks and this is exactly what I needed to watch!
I don’t know how much of UA-cam comments you see more than your Instagram, but I just wanted to let you know that I’ve been following you since 2019.

Ooooooof. This is such an ego booster. Thankyou so much man.
I have some really bad videos back in 2018. Feels like I’ve already come some way
I may be 3 months late but words cannot express how badly I needed to hear this from someone.
Thank you for this
This left me with chills, I love that this video exists. Extremely relieved and inspired simultaneously. Thank you🙏🏻
Thankyou Thankyou. Means so much
Thank you for this video. Exactly what I needed in this period of time. Keep it up!
You have no idea how greatly you have timed this video for me.

Best vid ive seen in a long while. Truly inspiring!
Your videos are not a breath of fresh air. They're a mountain filled with the purest oxygen there is. Karl, truly thank you for being who you are and inspiring others. Blessed.
That cut at Taking Risks is beyond insane. Great video!
*The amount of envy I feel wacthing trought this video is gruesome. This guy edits like a genius.*
The attention to detail in this video was incredible! I was hooked and didn't want it to end. Well done! 👏🏽

I rarely comment on videos but the way you put this all together with the shots, sound, editing, colors, script, etc. is so good
Your story telling is unmatched, please keep doing these
Will
Keep doing them to the best of my ability
Ahhh Karl what a pleasure to watch your never ending hours of creative work that you have compressed into this 10 minutes video
Sending this video to those I care about. The story telling has a way of changing someone’s mindset and empowering growth. Thank you for marking this!

You don't understand how much I needed to hear/see this today. Thank you
