Hey, Danny! Just wanted to let you know that I truly appreciate the work you’re doing with your channel and every video you post. You’ve quickly become one of my favorite UA-camrs, if not my favorite. Thanks for doing this!
I've only watched a few of your videos, but I've been on the brink of tears for each and every one of them. You are so raw, and the way you speak is purposeful, genuine and I feel every single word and sentiment you say. I've started filming videos of my hikes on my iPhone, and I'm having such a blast going out into nature, and creating content that I enjoy. 100% agree about a short video being so much more meaningful and impactful than the best photo in the world. After this realization, I've started including the people I'm with into the shots, because I love catching them off-guard and in the moment, and it adds so much more to the video as a whole.
I've actually had to come back and watch this twice; each shot has simple motion; great sound design, & the pacing is on point; it all comes together so well. It's really amazing your ability to tell story
Danny, the content is great, the music is fantastic. I really love the way how you portray out the mood by visuals and audio! But the most heart warming part in the whole video for me, which is also my FAVOURITE is the ending phrase quoted, “I love you ... bye 👋🏻”! I really love it, so make more videos Danny! Make me love you more 😂!
Phones nowadays are so jam-packed with gyroscopes and wide-angled lenses etc., at this point all you have to do is press the shutter button, and let the phone do the rest. It is truly amazing.
So true man. Lovely footage. I rarely take a 'proper' camera when I'm out with the kids as it takes me out of the moment and i get all precious and uptight. Mucking about with your iphone frees you to try stuff and sometimes even gives you ideas to recreate for proper shoots. One type of camera I do allow myself to take out on family time sometimes is an old SLR 35mm film camera. There's something about the simplicity and analogue nature of just looking through the lens, snap the frame and then move on with your day without the ability to review, analyse and agonise on a digital screen. Then you also get the excitement of waiting for the photos to get developed ☺️ Thanks again for another gentle and sincere video.
That little film was beautiful. Shows the power of sweet composition and music. Also the talking head shot is so nice with the exposed window and softly softly lit subject wow.
As we all know, the operator and even at least the minimum amount of intention and paying attention while filming, will make any camera work for capturing the moments just feel right. Thank you for sharing your realization and encouraging what's in front of the lens is what's most important.
being limited makes you the most creative and its such a crazy idea where we focus on obtaining that thing thats going to advance us buts its ourselves who are going to advance our own abilities
Yes man! We all get so caught up in the gear and how what we create will be perceived when in reality it’s about the story being told. What you’ve shown all of us with what you created was that at the core of telling a good story the gear doesn’t matter, it’s what you have and how you use it to tell the story that matters to you. I too feel the same way you do/did about gear and letting that get in the way of creating. Keep killing it man, you are doing such an incredible job helping people think differently about the things they do and the reasons behind them. I feel like I’ve been trying to do this same sort of thing with my channel and message and it’s encouraging to see that I’m not alone in my thoughts and feelings. Love you too man!
Danny is actually my favorite UA-camr. My phone shoots at 4k and I haven't used it yet to shoot something yet. I'll just go do something as Danny said. Love you too!
Beautiful intro. So true too! The videos I often value most aren't the ones I've put time into on jobs, it's the ones I've effortlessly shot in the moment on my phone
i just will never understand who goes out of their way to throw a dislike? like what is there to dislike. nothing lol. well Me and Sansie love being in your videos hehe
This is a great reminder. I remember some of my earliest vlogs were shot on my phone, I look back now and I'm glad I used what I had in my hand because those moments are priceless especially with what's going on in the world now.
Hey man, I just though that I'd say how much your channel inspires me to get out there and shoot! You definitely deserve more subscribers because your videos are honestly some of my favorites on UA-cam! Thanks again!
You are so right, Danny! It's nice to have all the gear but, when it comes down to it, I can't count the number of times I've caught those perfect moments on my iPhone that just never would have been preserved if it wasn't with me all the time. Another great video and a good reminder that the best camera is the one you have with you when the moment comes.
I'm fine with my phone cam too, it's not great, but can work ok. My issue is not having a computer, I have to edit on my phone on KINEMASTER. So I'm limited but I thought I'd still make videos with whatever I can, edit with whatever I can. But then came the pandemic and now I'm stuck at home for ~2 months. Oh well, hopefully it'll be relatively safe to travel in public transport by late 2020 and I should be able to film then. Btw, great intro, felt like I was watching a movie, the 18:9 Ratio and sound design didn't go unnoticed and unappreciated! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
That was beautiful. Owner of 2 sausage dogs I can relate to those evening walks. Best time of day for reflecting and being grateful for all we have. Just wish my dogs would stay still enough to capture footage of them. Great song choice too! Defo hit a chord with me 👍
I’ve only started watching your videos and every time you say I love you I really feel it. It feels like the sort of love that we need in the world you didn’t ask us for anything but you give out your love just because it makes you smile and that is beautiful. Thank you for just existing, smiling and sharing love. We love you too. Edit: We love you too Anna
Your content is such breath of fresh air from the usual filmmaking content that youtube suggests. Glad I found your channel. Keep doing your thing man, much love and support all the way from the Philippines!
Danny - thanks for sharing! I’ve felt and talked about this same thing with my film friends as well. What I’m learning is it’s more about 1) the story 2) the subject 3) 85% lighting
dude you're so right. when I tend to go on trips I would always bring a ton of gear and find myself only using the bare minimum of it. I would always take a roll of super 8 and find myself being so happy with just what's on that roll and what I shot on my iphone. great video!
This was simply amazing! The video at the beginning had me smile so much and made me so happy. I love those simple moments that bring so much joy and happiness to our lives! Thank you for being a filmmaker and sharing those moments with us!!
Half way through this video. This is bring tears to my eyes. Something you said about finite time and video rocked me. Here I have an income and job people would die for. And all I want to do is make short films and capture a Life of Living. I'll be watching more of you videos. Very inspiring.
I'm starting my youtube channel with my iPhone and it has been awesome! I already purchased a camera but I wil remember this thing as the first steps of my creator journey. My first 46 videos have been recorded with a phone so... Time to finally take the leap! Awesome video Danny!
You're the man, Danny. This type of honesty and self-awareness is a breath of fresh air among the pool of cookie cutter "UA-camrs". Keep doing your thing!
This video is just what I needed. I have a small UA-cam channel and shoot on my iPhone 7. I blame myself for not growing as a filmmaker because I don’t have all the gear the big guys have. DANNY you have changed my mindset for real!!!
I loove my phone for the camera. It’s always on me and - at least for me, the quality ist good enough for personal documentation. The simplicity of just pressing the shutter or just pressing record for a second let’s you be in the moment so much more than fiddling around with exposure and nds etc. Also: I’ve become a huge fan of the Live Photos. So much fun to look back at past trips or vacations and listen to the ambience of the scene. Brings you right back
DUDE, WHAT? the composition, sound design, photography, everything in it its just SO DAMN GOOD. What a lovely and peaceful piece, mate. And of course, Sansa all over the place.
I subscribed for your cinematography talks, but what I didn't know then is that I would get a heap full of philosophical life advice. AND who doesn't like a cute pup's but wiggling around in the sunset!!!!
Yep exactly, I just built a big rig with ronin s, rode mic and Atomos shinobi monitor attached but my iPhone just produces usable results so much more easily, going to pick and choose when I shoot with the big rig and use the iPhone for more stuff. And your totally right, you stay engaged with the people around you when just shoot on the phone, once holding a massive heavy rig and all the complications that come with it you become disconnected and definitely miss out on life
hey I love this. My Girlfriend and I always set a rule while traveling, to set the camera down and just be in the moment. I can assure you we have missed out on many beautiful shots. But since we put the camera down, we actually have a better and more vivid memory of our time there.
Another job well done. Love how transparent you are. I can totally relate with thinking "if it's not my nice camera, I might as well not film anything". You're right though, the videos I take with my phone are the ones I'm always going to look back on and it really won't matter what camera I used. Great job, Danny.
You make an excellent point and this same kind of thinking can be applied to other areas of our lives. Exercise for example...I should be going for walks during my breaks at work. Walking is an awesome form of exercise and instead of taking advantage of the time I have during the day I sit watch videos on my phone. But I think walking isn’t as good as running so if I am not running why bother. Anyways... thanks for sharing and yes I will be using my phone more often!...for capturing videos 😃
Was hard to believe the opening into was a phone because it was so beautiful! Ive experienced the same where I couldn’t get perfect shots from my camera so didn’t capture anything at all, would love some phone clips to remember that trip! Great video Danny! Your content is so relatable!
A great reminder! It's the same thing with fiddling with the camera settings while the moment is passing by. Sometimes you just need to take a step back and use the auto-function.
This touched me on a lot of levels. Funnily enough, the second video I published on my newly started channel was also a "short film" that I made entirely on my iPhone. It is also the first ever proper video I've ever finished. It feels amazing to leave all the technical terms and equipment aside, that way, you can remove distractions to create a video that you genuinely feel for. The fact that I got to visit the video again every now and then, especially with the Pandemic, really showed me how valuable videos are. The sights, the sounds, they're all so precious now that we're unable to get out of our home here in Singapore. With that being said, I love your works Danny. You're one of the few inspirations that made me decide to put myself out here on this platform. I don't plan to go big, but I do want to go far and share my experiences with life. Thank you Danny. Stay safe and all the best!
all the videos i created in my channel , filmed using a cheap old camera mobile phone " lg k7 2016 " . i can say that i struggle while filming wishing to have some features in iphone or new phones . but at end as u said is the moments which keeps me use what i have , the moments i experienced . as u said what's more valuable is learning the fundementals of filmmaking and composing imgs then try to think about gear . at the end i concluded from what u say and the experience i have had . - I can say " if you wanted to make films , you just need something to film " . thank you for the inspirations
HORAYYYY !!! Someone said it ..... the Phone (regardless of which on it is) is a camera all in itself a CINEMATIC TOOL. Why people underestimate this tool in your pocket is beyond me.
I started to feel the same a couple years ago. You can’t remember exact feelings, emotions and small details of your life. I try to open a camera on my phone as often as possible. Videos are “Live memories” !
Another great video man! I found your channel a few weeks ago and I quickly subscribed. You are really good at voicing the internal struggles of filmmaking which in my opinion are far more important to understand over the external stuff. This video nails it perfectly. Keep doing what you’re doing🙌🏼
Danny Gevirtz I always tell my wife, the two channels are like two sides of the same coin to me... You guys are both really different, but both inspiring in an oddly similar way... probably didn’t articulate that well... bottomline, thanks for sharing as always...
@@DannyGevirtz its so true, I pretty much bring my camera almost everywhere but its too heavy to hold all the time. shotuout to phones for saving my back
My dad gave me my first phone when I was 6, for emergencies and stuff, it was a little nokia but it had a camera, and on that Christmas I wrote the letter to whoever-you-believed-in-at-the-time, I asked for a panda robot, and they gave a stuffed Panda, and it was my best friend (I was an introverted kid) and I took tons of selfies with him, and that was my first experience with a "camera", unfortunately all those pictures are gone but I remember taking those, and I have my little panda in a box. This afternoon I'm gonna recreate those photos 13 years later. if you read this, thank you for reading and... I love you
Great Video as always Danny Well Articulated as usual. I hear exactly where you're coming from appreciate your content the things you talk about it and the way you put it together is a breath of fresh air take care
Such a beautiful video Danny, insightful, funny, interesting, gorgeous shots, everything was spot on... Thanks for sharing, don't you dare stop creating please, really love your work
First video of yours I watched (and subscribed) and so agree. 90% of all of my videos are shot with my phone. That way I can live the adventure, the experience, AND make a movie at the same time. When I get out the "camera" and all the other gear then I am just making a movie and not living the experience, the adventure, the trip. A time and place for both of course.
I love your channel, nearly every time I watch one of your videos I'm persuaded to your way of thinking or entirely understand how you view things. I am a filmmaker too, so I've experienced that "barrier" even on film shoots and outside of work. When I was in New York with a GoPro or with my GH5 shooting on the streets of Canterbury, I feel so conscious of my gear and people looking at me. My iPhone 8 can also produce a great image on an Osmo that I've used in student shorts so they definitely shouldn't be looked down on.
Love the message, seems like you are talking to yourself (and us too) about using an iPhone lol. Dude, you should submit this to the MIFF Moment Invitational, this week's the limit time. Yesterday I was just checking some videos to get inspired and none was as great as yours!
You speak the truth Danny! Awesome video! Love the work you're doing so thank you for sharing your experience as a filmmaker and most importantly as a human being. I'm new on your channel can't wait to see all this great content you've done.
thanks again for sharing your awesome and beautifull thoughts. I realize the same thing when I look on my photo albums. I always hussled with all the lenses and batteries etc. I wish I had some videos taken. I guess it's also about the moment I was in (new camera (many,many) new lens) and never thought about it this way. After the years of fail and error I guess you find your own mindset. And now I bought C200, so let's see how long I will hussle to do those epic holiday videos 😂 love ya!!!!
I loved this video. I occasionally shoot some narrative, documentary-style videos for my Instagram stories and people are often surprised that they were shot directly on the phone. Honestly I think that’s because I just take the time to compose, light and edit the shots well with whatever’s available at that moment. If I were to whip out my Canon M50 the whole process would immediately lose spontaneity. People are used to phones casually filming, not so much DSLRs.
I recently shot a short movie for my girlfriend who's stuck on the other side of the world, and I really enjoyed the simplicity of taking my phone down to the beach and filming away. No one cared I was filming and life just played out before me naturally. I'm glad I left my better camera at home. Great vid and great tips! And I should say, my 11 Pro handled highlights amazingly well. I found the main issue was when it couldn't get enough light and it cranked the iso down, and I couldn't see that on the phone screen... but it didn't ruin the moment. I still had tons of footage to work with, because it was so easy to shoot.
Damn that “I love you” is always so genuine, what a great human being, making amazing content, well done bro
idk why it took so long to see this but i do love you.
@@DannyGevirtz who do you love more? Me or Rafael??
Hey, Danny! Just wanted to let you know that I truly appreciate the work you’re doing with your channel and every video you post. You’ve quickly become one of my favorite UA-camrs, if not my favorite. Thanks for doing this!
Dude of course! That means the world. Thank you
Drahus, I have a UA-cam channel if you want to subscribe!
You're like Matt D'Avella, strictly for filmmakers.
Haha I’ll take that! Thanks so much!
Yesssss, that's the best way to describe his work
Agreed!
I've only watched a few of your videos, but I've been on the brink of tears for each and every one of them.
You are so raw, and the way you speak is purposeful, genuine and I feel every single word and sentiment you say.
I've started filming videos of my hikes on my iPhone, and I'm having such a blast going out into nature, and creating content that I enjoy.
100% agree about a short video being so much more meaningful and impactful than the best photo in the world. After this realization, I've started including the people I'm with into the shots, because I love catching them off-guard and in the moment, and it adds so much more to the video as a whole.
I've actually had to come back and watch this twice; each shot has simple motion; great sound design, & the pacing is on point; it all comes together so well. It's really amazing your ability to tell story
aw man thank you so much!
man Sansa looks like the best doggo, the area you guys explore looks so relaxing. // mind blown on that iPhone footy too!
thanks so much dude! its right by valley forge national park. the works of the national parks but still one haha
This is so good! Definitely changed my mindset of my phone 😭
Haha I love that. Thank you!
Joshua, I checked out your channel and you have a new subscriber! I have a UA-cam channel if you want to check it out and subscribe???
Man my channel is all phone, the iPhone 11 looks great especially if you get the moment anamorphic lens

Make me love you more 😂!
haha 1 video a week is already hard im trying! Thank you so much!!!
Phones nowadays are so jam-packed with gyroscopes and wide-angled lenses etc., at this point all you have to do is press the shutter button, and let the phone do the rest. It is truly amazing.
What a time to be alive. Thanks so much!
Holy moly. The thought that this video was shot with an iPhone.. Damn. I enjoyed the hell out of it. Felt personal and I could feel the emotions
So true man. Lovely footage. I rarely take a 'proper' camera when I'm out with the kids as it takes me out of the moment and i get all precious and uptight.

oh man, love the color theme, font, music. And your dog!
hahah Sansa is the best part. thanks man!
You make an excellent point and this same kind of thinking can be applied to other areas of our lives. Exercise for example...I should be going for walks during my breaks at work. Walking is an awesome form of exercise and instead of taking advantage of the time I have during the day I sit watch videos on my phone. But I think walking isn’t as good as running so if I am not running why bother. Anyways... thanks for sharing and yes I will be using my phone more often!...for capturing videos 😃
Great example man! Thanks so much!!
what a great video Danny. i like that you talk about gear in a very unique way, its very inspiring.
Was hard to believe the opening into was a phone because it was so beautiful! Ive experienced the same where I couldn’t get perfect shots from my camera so didn’t capture anything at all, would love some phone clips to remember that trip! Great video Danny! Your content is so relatable!
Thanks so much George! Appreciate it man
A great reminder!
It's the same thing with fiddling with the camera settings while the moment is passing by. Sometimes you just need to take a step back and use the auto-function.
thanks so much!
This touched me on a lot of levels. Funnily enough, the second video I published on my newly started channel was also a "short film" that I made entirely on my iPhone. It is also the first ever proper video I've ever finished. It feels amazing to leave all the technical terms and equipment aside, that way, you can remove distractions to create a video that you genuinely feel for. The fact that I got to visit the video again every now and then, especially with the Pandemic, really showed me how valuable videos are. The sights, the sounds, they're all so precious now that we're unable to get out of our home here in Singapore.
With that being said, I love your works Danny. You're one of the few inspirations that made me decide to put myself out here on this platform. I don't plan to go big, but I do want to go far and share my experiences with life. Thank you Danny. Stay safe and all the best!
such a nice message man! Thank you so much!!
all the videos i created in my channel , filmed using a cheap old camera mobile phone " lg k7 2016 " . i can say that i struggle while filming wishing to have some features in iphone or new phones . but at end as u said is the moments which keeps me use what i have , the moments i experienced . as u said what's more valuable is learning the fundementals of filmmaking and composing imgs then try to think about gear . at the end i concluded from what u say and the experience i have had . - I can say " if you wanted to make films , you just need something to film " . thank you for the inspirations
Very well said! I think I needed this reminder..
Of course dude thank you!
I've definitely been neglecting my phone camera, sometimes I forget how good it can actually look!
definitely man thanks!
HORAYYYY !!! Someone said it ..... the Phone (regardless of which on it is) is a camera all in itself a CINEMATIC TOOL. Why people underestimate this tool in your pocket is beyond me.
That opening was gorgeous
Just finished the video
The entire video was in fact gorgeous
Haha thanks so much dude!
I started to feel the same a couple years ago. You can’t remember exact feelings, emotions and small details of your life. I try to open a camera on my phone as often as possible. Videos are “Live memories” !
Absolutely! Thanks so much!
Perfect!!! Thanks Danny!!! Love your work!!!
John thanks so much dude!!!
Another great video man! I found your channel a few weeks ago and I quickly subscribed. You are really good at voicing the internal struggles of filmmaking which in my opinion are far more important to understand over the external stuff. This video nails it perfectly. Keep doing what you’re doing🙌🏼
My two favorite channels on UA-cam... this one and Make Art Now. It’s weird because you guys seem like the polar opposites, but the same...
amazing man ill have to check out the other channel!
Danny Gevirtz I always tell my wife, the two channels are like two sides of the same coin to me... You guys are both really different, but both inspiring in an oddly similar way... probably didn’t articulate that well... bottomline, thanks for sharing as always...
Dude, the song and the video GOOSEBUMPS! You became one of my favorite creators! You creating such a nice atmosphere!
and btw puppy Sansa was soooooo cute!
Hi Danny i love all your videos, those little moments captured with the iphone are so beautiful
Thank you so much!!!
beautiful film dude. Also, been getting into Iphones more. Was super against using them but its so easy and the quality is really good without a doubt
haha the stages of upgrading to a cinema camera then using your iphone to film everything
@@DannyGevirtz its so true, I pretty much bring my camera almost everywhere but its too heavy to hold all the time. shotuout to phones for saving my back
My dad gave me my first phone when I was 6, for emergencies and stuff, it was a little nokia but it had a camera, and on that Christmas I wrote the letter to whoever-you-believed-in-at-the-time, I asked for a panda robot, and they gave a stuffed Panda, and it was my best friend (I was an introverted kid) and I took tons of selfies with him, and that was my first experience with a "camera", unfortunately all those pictures are gone but I remember taking those, and I have my little panda in a box. This afternoon I'm gonna recreate those photos 13 years later. if you read this, thank you for reading and... I love you
Great Video as always Danny Well Articulated as usual. I hear exactly where you're coming from appreciate your content the things you talk about it and the way you put it together is a breath of fresh air take care
Very insightful! I almost always neglect my phone's camera and I should use it way more
I’m on the same boat as you!
Such a beautiful video Danny, insightful, funny, interesting, gorgeous shots, everything was spot on... Thanks for sharing, don't you dare stop creating please, really love your work
thanks so much!!!
Thanks for putting your work out there. You always motivate me to keep creating without stressing the hell out of me.
Thank YOU! Appreciate it
That video really change the way I see everything! Thank you so much, Danny! I love you
Amazing man! Thank you so much!
First video of yours I watched (and subscribed) and so agree. 90% of all of my videos are shot with my phone. That way I can live the adventure, the experience, AND make a movie at the same time. When I get out the "camera" and all the other gear then I am just making a movie and not living the experience, the adventure, the trip. A time and place for both of course.
I started this UA-cam channel and the only camera I have is my iPhone ! This was very inspiring to me to keep learning and creating! THANK YOU!
amazing! Thank you so much!
Goes to show there isn't any excuses stopping you creating!
exactly man! Thank you!
The grading on this feels so good...thank you as always!
I love your channel, nearly every time I watch one of your videos I'm persuaded to your way of thinking or entirely understand how you view things. I am a filmmaker too, so I've experienced that "barrier" even on film shoots and outside of work. When I was in New York with a GoPro or with my GH5 shooting on the streets of Canterbury, I feel so conscious of my gear and people looking at me. My iPhone 8 can also produce a great image on an Osmo that I've used in student shorts so they definitely shouldn't be looked down on.
amazing to hear this! Thanks so much!!
Really really really appreciate you work!
I appreciate you man! Thank you!
Love the message, seems like you are talking to yourself (and us too) about using an iPhone lol. Dude, you should submit this to the MIFF Moment Invitational, this week's the limit time. Yesterday I was just checking some videos to get inspired and none was as great as yours!
Thanks man! Haha I’m a speaker for the MiFF workshops lol
You speak the truth Danny! Awesome video! Love the work you're doing so thank you for sharing your experience as a filmmaker and most importantly as a human being. I'm new on your channel can't wait to see all this great content you've done.
You are such a great inspiration Danny! Thank you so much. Keep on creating.
dude thank you so much! I appreciate that a ton!
Yesss, Danny! Thank you again for the inspiration.
Of course man! Thanks so much!
thanks again for sharing your awesome and beautifull thoughts. I realize the same thing when I look on my photo albums. I always hussled with all the lenses and batteries etc. I wish I had some videos taken. I guess it's also about the moment I was in (new camera (many,many) new lens) and never thought about it this way. After the years of fail and error I guess you find your own mindset. And now I bought C200, so let's see how long I will hussle to do those epic holiday videos 😂 love ya!!!!
Haha all good man hope you enjoy the C200! Thanks as always
I loved this video. I occasionally shoot some narrative, documentary-style videos for my Instagram stories and people are often surprised that they were shot directly on the phone. Honestly I think that’s because I just take the time to compose, light and edit the shots well with whatever’s available at that moment. If I were to whip out my Canon M50 the whole process would immediately lose spontaneity. People are used to phones casually filming, not so much DSLRs.
Awesome video, friend. Well done! Shared one of your videos with a client today. Thanks for inspiring me!
thanks so much man!
this video made me instantly go back through my iPhone camera and realize how many great moments I'm thankful for in Life! Great video Danny!
thats incredible man. thanks so much David!
Danny, This speaks to me man and you've inspired something in me. And for that, I thank you!
One of the better 'the best camera is the one you have' videos I've seen my dude.
Haha thanks so much dude!
I recently shot a short movie for my girlfriend who's stuck on the other side of the world, and I really enjoyed the simplicity of taking my phone down to the beach and filming away. No one cared I was filming and life just played out before me naturally. I'm glad I left my better camera at home. Great vid and great tips!
And I should say, my 11 Pro handled highlights amazingly well. I found the main issue was when it couldn't get enough light and it cranked the iso down, and I couldn't see that on the phone screen... but it didn't ruin the moment. I still had tons of footage to work with, because it was so easy to shoot.
Amazing man thanks for sharing. Hope you and your gf can get back together soob
Thanks, I’m sure we will 😊
That was a powerful message. Thank you! Glad I found your channel. I'm inspired.
