I've spent 13 years making UA-cam videos. 7 years doing it full-time, and I never found my voice. I was busy creating voices for other people. Literally, getting hundreds of millions of views for other creators or brands, building them up from 0 followers... Never breaking the nut on my own voice. Reason being it's hard to read your own label while stuck inside the jar. My creator friends call me a genius, but I always felt self conscious about not being able to do it myself. 3 weeks ago, I found my voice. It's so fucking clear now, and my videos have exploded as a result. It's clear like an elevator pitch: I make videos for people who've realized that the conventional way of living isn't what fulfills them, and they feel like outcasts or "nomads" without a tribe of people who think holistically like them. My videos question what is "normal" and provides deep ideas for people to walk away with. Colt, I'm 20 minutes away from you. It's pretty dope seeing a fellow creator grinding the way you are in your creator-cave setup.
@NomadOverNormal I recently watched your library card video and enjoyed it very much! Without knowing your background, I felt you had a voice and a talent for editing/storytelling. Excited for you to blow up :)
Been watching your videos the past week or so as I’m learning to make my own content. Genuinely your editing, your shots are crazy & I love it. Happy you are being original and creating what you like - this is what most people lack!
As a content creator, I know how much time and effort a good video needs, and when I watch yours, I'm like woooow 🤯this guy has some crazy good skills that deserve to be discovered 🚀Keep it up big man, you're making it on UA-cam 👏🏽
I love that you mention world building. Coming from a literary background, I always knew that world building is an important step in creating any story, but its only recently that I started tapping into my writing experience to influence my videos, and it opened up a whole world for me in finding my voice on UA-cam. World building is so important to set the tone, perspective and setting of your videos. So glad I finally realize that.
As someone that has just started on UA-cam and feels like the quality I would love to provide to my viewers, this video is such an eye-opener. Thank you Colt. Your videos have been so helpful to the way I make videos and the way I think about YT.
I recently graduated as a designer. I've been on the job hunt and I'm using the extra time I have to get back in touch with creating art as well as taking up design challenges for myself. Both are very different realms of creativity and I've been in the process of practicing and experimenting a little everyday to build my style and approach overtime. I love how this video reaffirms the uncertain yet rewarding nature of every creative individual's journey in a such a fun and relatable way. I never comment on videos but this one really resonated with me.
So much effort and time going into making this video, even the ending with the Yoda stop motion...As a creative person I gotta' applaud the dedication! You gained one more subscriber!
At 3:48 when you mention consuming media from people you look up to, I immediately thought of you. Your content is a breath of fresh air- super unique presentation and informative. Congrats on the progress!!
Woah, 10:14 minutes valid, your creativity and your world is different fr, colt your video chase your dreams made me watch a lot of your videos and realize how much you really work harder and always try to be different, i have watched a lot of content Creators for 7 years few got the vision, skills, shots, inspirational and words, today I would love to say that you are one of em. Thanks for brings Movies 🎥 vibes to UA-cam 😅❤
Colt, everytime I watch your videos it doesn’t ever matter what it is but your style just does some healing to the soul! It’s so warm, wholesome, cheeky, crispy clear, playful, and informative. Keep doing what you’re doing …you’re honestly like no other. You’re in a league of your own!
amazing man -looks like every section of vid got different style and planned ahead and planned nicely. well done. 40 years old polish creator from UK here. respect man
Really love the pacing and specifically the transitions in between your points. It feels like I have to keep myself talking the entire video. Trying to learn from you and some others so thank you 🙏
It’s so obvious that you’re discovering what YOUR style is, and no matter what the video is about each one you make is so authentically you, it can’t help but make me and the rest of the world want more. Thank you for your art and I’m so proud to watch your growth!!
It’s so funny how this video just came out when during this past few weeks I have been thinking of cinematic vlogging myself, but I keep struggling on how can I express my creative ideas in my own way
Always enjoy Colt's videos ^^ I'm definitely putting in my reps trying to finding my style as of late. I'm in the experimentation phase and it's been very exciting! I feel like I'm on the right track but not quite there yet and just focusing on enjoying the journey along the way -- Cheers! I love how your world building is coming along -- Oscar, the citibike, the lego animation!
As an artist I resonate with every word he said! I Have been consistently drawing for three years and still to this day am changing my style and techniques I use in my drawings. When people see my drawings, I know they can tell it’s drawn by me and I love that uniqueness. I definitely put more than a thousand hours into my craft but it’s cause I genuinely love to draw . I look back at drawings a year ago and think wow why did I do that? But that’s growth and I can see what I no longer like ❤ basically, whatever you love to do investor time into it
The shot at 3:47 is incredible ! Love the idea and the transition to the TV ! You are a true source of inspiration, I hope you won't mind if I steal it one day ...
Damn dude you've gone up over 50k subs since i started watching you back in september, kudos man, be proud of your journey so far! You're doing great and setting the tone for young creators on social these days, definitely see a lot of Casey in your story telling.
48k views and 5.4k likes -- most insane ratio I've ever seen. Shows how genuine you are & how much the audience appreciates that. You're bringing something fresh to viewers.
Colt, your way of unveiling your world is truly impactful. It's like putting a personality to the thoughts in your mind-awesome! 👏🏻 Wishing you loads of love this festive season. Stay warm and have a fantastic end of the year. Sending love from India! 🌟💖
Colt, thank you so much for this video. I have discovered you through Kelly's vids, and you catched my eye. I can feel that you're such a wonderful person. Thank you for the message. I needed that. Greetings from Poland!
thank you for this video! ive always been a bit harsh on my youtube journey but i habe to realise i only started 6 months ago and finding a style is a long process and it happens slowly! thank you colt! love your videos man, your one of my big inspirations
I barely comment to people's videos but after watching this, seeing your pov about life gave me an exposure to not quit on life and grind for more. I hope i can meet cool people like you someday. Don't forget the people that subbed you before 10k subs I was one of them. P. S. : YOU'RE GOING TO BE FAMOUS.
your world building point is so good and true and why your content is so easy to watch from beginning to end. Truly unique. Oscar is a boss and awesome Gawx mention, two of my fav creators!
I feel honored that I bought this man Chick-Fil-A once
Never forget 🫶

The concept of showing your own world is so powerful. It's like giving a face to the voice in your head, love it. 👏🏻
Ooo I like the way you put that
@1:58 love just seeing the roommate chillin', waiting for the shot to finish. lol
Great fucking video, making Yoda play the same song YOU were playing in the beggining of the video was genius

thanks colt! love your videos
A lot of youtubers you can just play the vid and listen, but not Colt’s vids. These you gotta watch to truly appreciate
AMazing video! You're a great story teller. You and Riza are the best on YT in my opinion!

wow! what a video! I didn't want it to ever end!

The match cut from the inside of the rabbit hole to the spot light in the next scene was fire.
At 3:48 when you mention consuming media from people you look up to, I immediately thought of you. Your content is a breath of fresh air- super unique presentation and informative. Congrats on the progress!!

Always excited for another Colt video. This one sounds particularly great! I always study his videos to make my vlogs better!
2:42 is why we love Colt
8:12 „your the only one who sees the world like you do“ wow that’s crazy deep
I feel like the highest honor you can get is when your work truly inspires someone. this was brilliant and I am inspired.
Banger video that piano in the beginning and end was a nice touch
This video was perfect... and all the Easter eggs were hilarious
Ngl this video couldn't have been posted at a better time! Thank Youuu :)
This video was on my UA-cam feed for several days before I clicked and I don’t regret it. It is so valuable and beautiful to watch.
The sound design and editing for when Tejas slaps your brain is so funny 😂 Loved this video Colt!
This is wildly refreshing.
Great Video Colt! Always happy when a video uploads.
Love the shot at 0:31! reminds me of the beginning of 'everything everywhere all at once'
From the bottom of my heart: thank you. You’re my hero.
Congratz on the 100k Colt! You deserve this and so much more. Can't wait to see what you're cooking next. Keep up creating from the heart
This is super encouraging and your style is so cool!! Thank you for sharing this!
