YouTube's authenticity problem (and how to solve it)
Buy my LUTs - https://renegadefilms.uk/store/p/cinematic-luts YouTube has a problem with authenticity. It's become filled with copycats and unoriginal video concepts. Ever since the Mr Beastification of YouTube, real authenticity has become rare. Although it's true that pure originality is probably impossible, I think there is a way to make sure that creative people remain authentic. Consuming less and living more. This video is an introduction to a new series where I'm going to attempt to improve my creativity by working to get out and have life experiences, while at the same time incorporating the style of some of my favourite filmmakers on the platform to hone my craft. I'll be using the Alphabet Superset framework created by @struthless to do this. Really looking forward to seeing where this takes me and hope you come along for the ride!

I ran my first marathon, without training...
Buy my LUTs - https://renegadefilms.uk/store/p/cinematic-luts Running a marathon was something that, until recently, I'd always thought was unachievable for the average person. In this video I challenged that belief to see if I could run a marathon without training. We're all capable of so much more than we realize, and it's my aim with the videos that I make to both push myself and help others realise they're capable of the same. I hope that this video gives you the viewer a push to step outside of your comfort zone to see what you can do. However I don't recommend trying this specific challenge unless you enjoy being in pain.

Something every new YouTuber needs to hear
If you're on YouTube, whether you're a Filmmaker, Photographer, Musician or another kind of creative person, you will receive criticism from time to time. This is a good thing when it's constructive, but not all criticism is helpful and it's important to recognise when to ignore negative comments. I hope this short video is helpful to anyone experiencing self-doubt made worse by well meaning naysayers. Keep going!

Why you should stop watching Peter McKinnon
Stop watching Peter McKinnon?! What? Why? Here's what I mean... Often we search for creative inspiration by looking to our favourite YouTubers or Filmmakers. For me, it's usually Peter McKinnon. He's probably the biggest inspiration for what I'm trying to do on this channel. But inspiration on it's own isn't enough. We also need to get out and live our own lives and have new experiences if we're going to be able to create authentic videos ourselves. You should totally watch Peter McKinnon - he's awesome and hugely inspiring! But it shouldn't come at the expense of living your life. I hope I put that across clearly enough! :) @PeterMcKinnon MUSIC USED: Music from Uppbeat (free for Creators!): https://uppbeat.io/t/enzalla/amaranth License code: TGZ1KNMGVVUMDEAW Music from Uppbeat (free for Creators!): https://uppbeat.io/t/abbynoise/all-shook-up License code: GGN2IXQSCLVCQIU2 Cameos & Assistance: Charlotte Benson Gear I Use: SONY ZV-E1 - https://amzn.to/42WJ04Y SONY A7III - https://amzn.to/4gDHNCB My Go-To Lens (28-70mm f3.5-5.6) - https://amzn.to/3QkbON9 Nifty 50 Lens for CINEMATIC B-Roll (50mm f1.8) - https://amzn.to/4hZVxZv Smallrig for Sony ZV-E1 - https://amzn.to/3Qk8JNe Drone - https://amzn.to/4aXUya9 Variable ND - https://amzn.to/42Rt9oe ProMist Filter - https://amzn.to/3ES1EAI BEST Lav Mic - https://amzn.to/40SB4yY Vlogging Mic - https://amzn.to/4hHbgNA Motorized Slider - https://amzn.to/41idnkY Tripod - https://amzn.to/42YeM1p Extra Sony Battery - https://amzn.to/42Yyj1U BEST Editing Software - https://www.blackmagicdesign.com/products/davinciresolve Awesome Music & SFX - https://share.epidemicsound.com/tombenson Tom Benson is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, affiliate advertising programs designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com.

3 things Casey Neistat taught me about filmmaking

Why your life feels so empty

The absence of struggle and discomfort is having a negative effect on us and prevents us from making a change to our life. By leaving the comfort zone and seeking the struggle, discomfort and growth that comes from change - we make our life more adventurous and write our own exciting story.
