"It's better to create something than nothing at all." Perfectly said man
Yes couldn't agree more so well said!
Glad you agree!
i just tweeted that.
Nice
I frequently remind myself that a little bit of something is better than nothing at all.
I’ve watched you clean your garage, chase a lemon across town, and now make a lens cap look as dope as humanly possible. You rock! See you at Vid Summit! 👊🏻
Ikr! Peter's inspiration... priceless
"You can't make a cinematic footage about a LENS CAP! ARE YOU INSANE?!"
Peter: Hold my coffee...
😂😂😂👌
Tf😂😂😂😂
On point!! 😂😂😂
Love this
EXACTLYYYY !!! BAAAAM UGH THIS PETER MCKINNON GUYS...
Ideas without action or executions are nothing but thoughts. This was a great video, really interesting to see you working through the creative process
First Epic Lens Cap Broll Sequence I've ever seen! lol
I made my own B-roll of a lens cap...
10minutes straight of good old pitch black darkness...
Hahahah this comment is so under rated :D
@@hzlists 😂😂😂😂
Thanks haha 😁
yeah but what gimbal ?
Exactly, nothing will ruin a shoot faster than a lens cap
This guy right here is the reason I have started to THINK about my goals in life, what I want to do ! Pick up the camera and travel the world 🌍, see what a beautiful planet we live on ! Thank You Peter ! Big inspiration! Greetings from Poland !
PS. Any plans on visiting Poland ? Maybe you want to see the hidden gems of the country, I think you would love it here , so much content to be made ! 😁
Love your content, cool too see you too watch Peter McKinnon 👍
@@michellezera5059 Thank You 😁 even cooler to see you comment on my comment here 😊
Here before you collab with Peter haha, you should take him around in Poland ! Where are you heading next ?
@@benjaminmendel3684 I wish I could 😅 well there is content from southern Poland and Croatia next, what after that ? We will see 😁
Right on, Peter rocks!
Peter aside from your tutorial videos, THIS IS MOST DEFINITELY my favorite video of yours. So much effort goes into the transitions to make it seem effortless. Thats the beauty it accompanies a crazy ass video talking about something so powerful thats misidentified and taken for granted.. > great transitions and story telling man.
Peter, I have a (serious) question for you. A while back Matti hired an editor and I thought you did too (but I might be wrong). How many of the past few videos have you edited yourself, and how many did you have edited by someone else?
This needs to get noticed.
@@aditya-71 Thanks!
That's a good idea question! I've been wondering that
Well thought out, I'd forgot about that. Would be interesting to see if they brought someone in.
@@StreetSoccerInt I'm almost positive that he has. I believe he still edits his tutorials by himself, but these latest vlogs drastically improved with the right use of sfx and compositions. Therefor I have reason to believe he has someone helping him. I'm a firm believer of: "just because you can't do it (or know how to), doesn't mean it can't be done" but his "way of vlogging" has changed a lot over the past few weeks.
This hits the heart. Whenever you act even on the smallest idea, the more original you can often become. For example, I'VE NEVER seen b-roll of a lens cap. lol
Perhaps this is often the cause of creators block because we're looking for something big, which often hurts us in the long run because subscribers are just simply looking for content, and any idea can be good content.
Yes, that carries originality.
Lens caps never looked so good.
right?! so good!
Casey and peter have really honed this style of video blending a vlog with their thoughts on a particular topic, helps the audience feel closer to the person behind the camera
BRU!!! Was that Dan Mace at 4:57 ???
omg..good things happenin
Yes it is him!
Yeah a whole bunch of creative people came to Belfast for the power of video you should check it out. 😊
And Phillip Bloom just before that I think :)
@@BeccaHedegaard yup. Jessie driftwood and Sorelle armour to and I think just a glimpse of shonduras's arm 😁
A simple idea can often be the best. Brillant as always Peter
I love yours and Matti’s humor with each other 😂
haha yes the best!
Love this! Thinking this way really helps to alleviate any "self doubt" that what you're posting isn't the next "big thing." Sometimes less is more and can be more unique....like a lens cap vid!
That lens cap is going to get its own YT channel!
Yeah seriously a beautiful lens cap and it found a second lens cap!!!
Chandan Sinha why not? Make it can’t wait to watch the thriller version
I sent this to my team at work even though we work in a completely unrelated industry because this video was like a punch in the gut. How many ideas have I left sitting on the table because they were "stupid", "a waste of time", "simple"... too many to count. Thank you for this, truly.
*Gets notification while watching UA-cam*
Ends video immediately to watch Peter
I did the exact same thing :P
Nick Zamudio same 😂
Same! Haha
hahahah this happened to me hahaha
Exactly the same!
The Lens Cap sequence....IT WAS BEATIFUL!!! 😱🔥🔥
Lens cap Broll was amazing af!!
Tbh, i never watch most of your video till the end peter. Because once i got the message of the video, i just became super excited, turn my phone off, get off my bed, grab my camera, and do something. You really inspire me Peter Mckinnon !!! Keep on inspiring me !!!!
Once again thank u for the extra inspiration pete! Good stuff!
Proud of you Peter! This shows how much you've grown as a creator! I feel like the "perfection" you talked about a year ago wouldn't let you to make it just because of an idea before. Good balance, great ideas . . . great video!
Gets notification while editing my instagram stories 😂 and the video was really hit me through the heart! 😂 I really often think that my idea is too usual, has no epic theme at all, and then I cancel the execution. But someday, I had an idea to make a video about the proccess of me creating the vanilla ice cream, and at the end scene I put my camera into the freezer just to capture the unusual angle, and suddenly 'BOOM!' a lot of my friend was really like the idea and they said that was blow their mind 😂 And I'm really halpy with that. Thanks pete for the lesson! DOPE!
The Master has spoken! Thx Pet for this motivation boost! Even more pumped up for big ideas - but of course to create the small ideas!
Peter : what’s the subject for today’s b-roll?
McKinnon : A lens cap!
.

There you go baby!
i appreciate this so much peter! people take themselves too seriously nowadays, this was great!
Being real, Im not a super fan, but this video had some real value. Needed this man :)
This truly helped me to understand myself a little better. I have previously struggled with ideas, thinking that the one that I have is going to take me where I want to go. But that is just a big fat lie. An idea you execute on is a project that you can complete and be proud of, that is such a healthy perspective. Thank you, Peter. I appreciate you
DAN...what is this, a crossover episode?
Tommaso Simionato Cody wanner was there too
Philip Bloom also
And so was I:)
Peter, this is the BEST video from you that I have seen and I am following your channel since months. Thanks man ! Inspiring to the point! "The power of an idea = extremly powerful, If we actually use them. So use them!"
Was logging in a $450,000 machine from Finland, stopped production completely to watch lens cap b-roll .... again... and again...
Dude, your cinematography skills are amazing and you ability to tell stories are captivating. You truely are an inspiration.
Peter McKinnon is awesome, I am amateur photographer, I learn so much from him.
This is definitely one of my favorite videos you've done Pete! SO GOOD!
7:36 someone hiding at the rooftop not to get in the drone shot. Nice!!!!
When you incorporated magic into the cinematic. It was your own personal touch that made it so much better.
I've recently been filming my first few youtube vlogs and I've had this idea of doing one vlog episode a week and then one 1 minute video sequence of just something completely random each week. I got the idea after watching Peter's lemons for leukemia video. Seeing this lens cap sequence give me hope that it can be a fun idea to continue with!
Yes hope you continue, love the motivation!
Looks like a gathering of 'inspiration' by the glimpse of all the YT-ers which with subtlety featured in the B-roll..nice!!!
Thanks for Sharing every single content! you make my day much better!
Thank you for this!
I always think that my ideas for videos suck and that's probably the main reason why i don't make a lot of them.
You just made me realize that i should execute every single idea that i have no matter if it's good or not!
I have an idea, but I'm gonna need a sword, a big cake, a remote, some bouncy balls and THAT lens cap. Stay tuned.
I'm gonna wanna see this
This sounds like hellofa plan. I'm in
...and a windy rooftop place. There....
“It’s better to create something than nothing at all” one of my favorite things you’ve ever said! 👊🏼
When he said google and asked "What is an Idea?"......My phone actually recognised and searched for it! Wtf😂😂
I gotta say, Peter's storytelling has dramatically improved over the past year. I feel like this is something that a lot of people needed to hear! Sometimes even the smallest ideas can turn into something huge, so not every idea has to be crazy and complex! :)
Some bloke you are mate 🤙🏻 always working!!! Hopefully one day I may get there on my channel hahahaha I've just been looking through most of you videos ❤️
#DannyB on the grind kid
I'm just here for the comments
Lol ⛑⛑⛑⛑
I don't understand!!!!!!!! What's going on hahaha
Echo Music hahaha always man 💰
Never seen anyone make belfast look so beautiful in video! I just moved into the student roost housing you stayed in during the week and its unbelievable! Great content and powerful message, love it! definitely motivation to get out and do something while I stay in Belfast!
The best editing 👍👍
Exactly how I approach my creative process. I accept the smallest silliest ideas and take my best shot at them. And my thinking is - every small idea that I realize will home my skills and prep me to tackle that big project over the horizon.
"Uh, yeah. Those were my ancestors, so..." - Matti
Thanks for the pep talk Pete. I needed it. As always, love your work!!
Love from South Africa 💚
I SPY DAN MACE!!! I love when my favorite youtubers are shooting the same stuff so that I can see how different creaters can shoot the same material and present it differently. Truly an inspiration to my creativity!
7:37 we saw the accomplice!
There isn't one video that I don't get excited for because man, you make the most epic and dope videos ever ! You are definitely my idol! Thanks to this video I know I need to get out this slump and just do the "action" ... I have so much creative ideas in my head I want to shoot but I just get stuck in where to start... strive for great content not knowing i'll get better in time...thanks Pete! You're awesome !
Great Video.. the most important of idea is ACTION.
I've been watching this channel for a while now, and that Epic lens cap broll bafe me subscribe. Greatest little idea of all time
Peter inspired me so much to make cinematic videos
I love the awesome crew with Dan, Matti and Sorelle. Legends
IT’S BETTER TO CREATE SOMETHING THAN NOTHING AT ALL 🙌🏻
Was awesome to meet you Peter and was great to hear you speak with some of the dope squad
As I sit here trying to figure out my next UA-cam video for this week, this is exactly what I needed to watch
(ONE WEEK LATER........) 5K Lens Cap videos Trending on UA-cam.....LOL.. Nice one Peter
you MY FRIEND PETER.... just started the"LENSE CAP CHALLENGE?"🎬
....May the odds be forever in your favor👊🏽⚡
This video couldn't have come at a better time! I've been depressed thinking I haven't got what it takes to create because I don't have 'ideas' when in actual fact I'm mostly lacking in believing in that idea and putting it into ACTION!
when u start to use drone someone try to hide hahaha 7:36
FITNESSARAB saw that 😄
Peter, the lens cap b-roll almost made me choke on my dinner. I guess food just doesn't go down when laughter is going up! Great work!
Never clicked that fast from a notif! Yey for another Pete before I go to sleep!
Me too! Stopped what I was doing to watch.
R.C. Thorne hell yeah! #TeamMckinnon!
Thank you for being you and providing inspiration and pushing those of us who are rookies to ac, not just watch a tutorial. If I watch guys like you and never go out and APPLY what you tuaght, I am not going to become a good creator, i will just be a good video head! I felt a little stupid writing my 1st script last night, but I wanted to push through and take action- even if it meant going through the whole process with a corny script that sucked. I wanted to experience the process, the experience of actually writing a script and later filming it, lighting, composition, etc... as a learning experience. I thought I would maybe write a paragraph or 2, but wound up with 4 full pages. I realized I was kind of liking my little original, pre- Halloween story. I didn't beat myself up being a rookie. I read it to a friend and he was like "YOU wrote that?" I was like- I know it's not great, but it has really good potential. He was like "No- I LIKE it. How did you even come up with that stuff...it's really good." It mixes comedy and horror throughout the story. Mostly comedy- until the horror ending. I can picture filming it, weird lighting, a jump scare or 2, interesting camera angles, etc. It's simple, kind of funny and has a gory ending that ends all the fun. Well, sort of. My friend was amazed by how the story ends, how it all ties together... and that really encouraged me. Thanks for inspiring rookies like me. We hear you, and dare take a leap of faith...into ACTION. I wanted to say thank you- again, really.
Man this isn't a jab at Matti, but I love him in Peters videos... he's much more sarcastic and seems like his true self. Sometimes in his videos he projects almost an overly psuedo-positivety that doesn't seem genuine. No hate here, just wondering if anyone else sees that
A.J Galecki true, in his videos it seems like he's jumping onto whatever the current or general hype is
He is funnier and less serious in Pete's videos.
Aldariel makes him more genuine, and then it's harder to go onto his vids, you know?
I defiantly have felt that. But they make good content :)
True that
Wow...loved this! One of the best videos I've seen by you! I'm just starting exploring ideas and what I can create as a senior.
At first i thought the title was "The power of an IKEA " lol
BeemY Me too! 😂
your footage is so crispy! that shallow depth of field. looks so good!!
Dude! My stomach was turning so much when you were on that roof!!!! How did you get up there anyway!!??
I was wondering the same thing!
All of your B-Rolls are more epic than each other. That lens cap thing was the best one I've watched on internet in last whole week I guess.
*K. Now, wheres my lens cap.*
I loved this one on the value of small ideas and incorporated it into a work presentation today. Thanks for the inspiration!
Did you see Maddie run behind the block at 7:37 😂
I love this channel so much and Peter's enthusiasm and energy!
5:00 wuddup *bru*
ja bru
this really resonated with me Peter!! Definitely something I needed to watch, keep up the amazing content as always!!
PETER MCKINNON is incredible! He inspired me to start my own youtube channel! Thank you Peter McKinnon!
Brenden Walters I checked out your UA-cam channel! GREAT WORK!
Savannah Vongphit Thank you for checking out my youtube channel! Hope you enjoyed my most recent video!
@@BrendenWalters going to your channel now 🏃
Shuhrat Choudhury Thank you so much! Hope you enjoy!
@@BrendenWalters interesting video I must say!
tuned in after a while on youtube and this was used to be my favourite channel but had to miss some of the previous episodes but after watching this i’m really inspired..! u really raised the bar. level up 🙌🏻🙌🏻👍🏻
Sour patch kids after brushing your teeth ?!?
why in the world are you this underrated . amazing video once more.
also you made that lens cap look lit af !!!
Peter did a better B-Roll of the lens cap with way less effort than my whole planed projekt. Frustrating. :(
lol 😂😂
Lmao 😂😂 i think your work is not as bad keep doing bro ..soon you'll be like pet
@Chandan Sinha yes i know 😂
Jervinho It comes with practice. Keep up!
You are the king of Broll!! also you and Matti should have your own series on youtube together I love watching you guys together
I'll never look at a lens cap the same.
Same here :)
Yes yes yes Pete this video will resonate with so many people. Everyday you go on UA-cam and see epic video drone shots,super buttery slow mo of things epic vlogs and you think to your self I can't produce quality video with great landscapes epic places all over the world. This just proves you don't need to, look around you and make the best of what you have the little details can make for something great. Just because it isn't the big idea ( like you said) doesn't mean it isn't going to be something no one will watch. I'm going to start producing content for my photography you just gave me a kick up the ass I needed cheers Pete 👍👌
PETER MCKINNON IS THE BEST!!!!! I've taken all of his advice, and even started a UA-cam channel all about filmmaking! I post videos every Sunday! I'd really appreciate some support and feedback.
ill sub :)
thanks!
just subbed
thx!
🏆🏆🏆🏆 This wins today's coveted "4 Trophies of Nastiness" award! One of my favorite videos of yours ever, Pete - so many lessons here that EVERYONE can take! Thanks so much, and since we didn't get to hook up in Toronto back in July, see you at VidSummit... 🙂👍
Second???
Great video with a pitch perfect editing pace. The cuts keep it popping so very well. Just like the fish food poisoning video. Great stuff. Pure movie magic. Thanks for what you do. Best day & Best wishes to you & yours.
I like this new chill type of vids from Peter. Good work!
I think the intent and execution of this vlog is fantastic, and so, you have gained a new subscriber in me. Keen for more lens cap content ;)
Hello Pete, I have been a fan since 2017 or 18, yet I did not start the channel immediately because I am always shy to make videos in public. But creating videos is what I am passionate about. This was an old video but I am rewatching it because I think I am ready to start getting serious of my channel this year. I really find it funny at 7:36 how Matti forgot to hide himself during this drone shot. hahahaa.. Thank you for all the inspiration and motivation you always share in your channel and also to Matti whom I am also following the same as you. Congratulations and keep up the positive vibes.
Nice to see you somewhere familiar. Hope you enjoy Northern Ireland and all it's natural beauty.
Great video and a very good point made. Thanks as always!!
Met you in Belfast when you last did the Power of Video conference. Glad to see you could make it back! Oh, and thanks for the footage of this amazing city... got me looking at flights to go back!!
Love the cinematic effects! Always on point🙌🏽
I just started shooting video when I started riding bmx again. And I have to say your videos give me a perspective than I never thought about before. taking simple videos and shooting in a way that makes it interesting never even occurred to me before the how to make coffee video. Really enjoy these videos. Thanks for the tips!
This is exactly my neverending struggle. I do actually write down the small things too, but just as you say, I end up putting them aside for the bigger stories, that I then don't execute either for whatever reason.
At least I pretty much finished my latest project today. So progress is being made. Slow progress, on a small project without intrigues and kings and glory, but progress!
