This has been my most ambitious project I wanna thank everyone who contributed to the making of this video. I'm someone who always struggles with making video's and expressing what I have to say. This video is an amalgamation of so many attributes of media that I love and enjoy! So I wanted to really show YOU that anything is possible you can tie strings together no matter how far and wide. I hope to inspire those of you who are considering making video's or really just trying to find a way to make something you wanna make! So let me know what do you wanna make?

Bro said, “Here’s a clip from everything that’s ever inspired anyone.”

"be unapologetically you and your creations will reflect that" - me

the transition to ego was incredible.

My dream is to be a manga artist, simple as that. I really struggle with finding motivation and faith in my creations and ideas because I doubt my abilities as a creator. I want to create stories that resonate with people, and also stand out from everything else. I really want to express myself through manga, and I hope I can get there one day

this shit is so good bruh. creativity pulls at my chest and I feel ill trying to contain it. I need to create. simple. I’m going to be the greatest. thank you.

Augie dropped just as I was feeling off in life at 35.

this is fucking incredible

The editing in this video is top tier

I recently read the book "Art and Fear" which is about exactly what it sounds like and it made it so much easier to stop holding back, everyone should read it

I'm glad you included not only the one piece anime/manga, but the live action as well. The cinematography and creativity Oda and the OPLA team did is also something that should be admired alongside all one piece media. Incredible video dude ✌️

This resonated with me so much, as I was going through a similar experience a year ago while trying to publish my first novel, The Collective: Forsaken Faith. The whole premise of the story is that your identity is your superpower, and I realized that the message really did hold true for me as I continued down my creative journey. Awesome video by the way!

As someone who's been struggling with creativity lately, this video may be the sole reason that finally pushed me to reflect upon myself and ask myself - who am I, really? I feel like I lost my individuality somewhere, and I can't really reach it. Until now I really only thought that I am what people think of me, but realized maybe the verions of me in their heads don't have to define me as a person. Maybe I should try to mess around, find out, figure shit out? I guess it doesn't hurt to try. I just have to puzzle it all out. It's really hard to put my thoughts into words, depression and depersonalization hit me like a truck, and sometimes I don't even think I can get thru it, but this vid gave me some hope, some inspiration to gather the strenght in me and maybe create something nice, thank you man. I just want to create again and express myself.

Great video! Very inspiring! Subscribed! I'm a comic artist/writer and showing my art and stories has been hard, I'm shy and insecure so I just want to hide, I'm also a people pleaser, so this makes it even harder, it makes me feel like my stories have to please everyone but myself, but no, I want to do my own stuff, maybe I just have to do what I want without worrying about what others think, if they like it good, if they don't too bad.

loved when u said “no matter what you say or what you do” to reference 3005 😭 my favorite song of all time man

MY GOAT! THIS WAS AMAZING. I also learnt something new aswell, understanding that the only reason GOATS exist is because they have failed more times than the average person. I need to accept failure more 😤 and not run! Thank you bro!

Haven’t been this inspired in a while. God bless, let’s get back into it

Oda does what the word he wants and when he wants, and he does it so well. Its so wacky people may hate it, but they gotta admit its a good wackyness

This video was fun to edit, we had some hiccups but ultimately. Fire all around. Looking forward to working with you again.

I know you might not see this but if you do I would like to tell you hello! I’m Benz and I’m currently on a journey to make a manga known as Union. I don’t have a ton and it isn’t meant to be a one piece or Naruto long type of story. I’m not a very creative person but I use others creativity to guide mine I believe. I’m still a 13 turning 14 so I still have a lot to learn but this type of content helps me. Thank you🙏🏾.

The goat dropped. Time to lock in

This is gonna sound crazy but I have a video draft with that exact kind of sequence you used in the intro with changing seasons from PS3 reload lmao

GOAT DROPPED, it’s a beautiful day

Absolute masterpiece of a video. You deserve SO many more subs, I can't even put it into words. What you said here really inspired me to keep creating, past all my doubts and fears. And if your objective with this video was to inspire and/or reassure someone like you did with me, then my man, you absolutely did it.

This is one of the greatest videos I've ever watched. Amazing music selection, the clips, narration, message, and it makes me want to watch the animes I've been putting off. Thank you for this masterpiece! I had to like and subscribe and this is the only video I've watched from this channel. I'll definitely look into the other. Amazing!

One Piece is something I've come to love because it speaks to me in a sense that no matter how impossible or ambitious I get I should never let go of my dreams. Even if those dreams make me crazy. If I'm being honest, I do get afraid. I feel like I never learn anything and I'm not good enough even though I know in my heart that's not true. I keep having visions, but they're often too big to make or I can't find it in me to take the time and patience to learn out of perfectionism. This video does speak to me because you're right. I often relapse with every step I take but, why shouldn't I? I'm tired of feeling empty and unfulfilled. I'm tired of the burnout. I just need to find my One Piece.

The thing i love about one piece is that it's message helped me not give up when life and my childhood trauma issues overtook me. I received a faith boost from it

This is possibly the most seizure induing video that hasn't made me feel epileptic. I really appreciate the energy you put into your edits.

Yeah that intro was gold, a1 vid bro appreciate the effort you put into your work and the advice you’re giving us.

this video genuinely changed my life. i feel way more creatively fufilled than ever. thank you ❤❤ (also the production is ASTOUNDING)

The amount of transitions in this video was astounding. Incredible video about the things you love.

Wonderful video my guy. You captured everything I love and said everything I’m about. I’m a comic artist in his first year and this just speaks to me. The art you show here inspires art in others. The only thing that can stop me is me.

You popped offed with the thumbnail🔥 Real talk sometimes I overthink when it comes to art (like if imma make it or not/will people like it) leading to me feeling like I should give up. But then when im in the creative process and my ideas are flourishing, I feel like the next Kanye West lol. Being an artist is weird man😂😂😂

this is WONDERFUL! You have potentially just inspired so many people to go and create new and unseen things. I know you inspired me to go start working on my projects again!

i was in something of a slump for creativity and this video absolutely trounced it. def subbing up after this 🙏🏾

That was the most beautiful synthesis essay I’ve ever heard???? Seriously, I wasn’t expecting such an awesome analysis. I didn’t realize how much actual outside inspiration from media could help your own creativity which probably sounds silly but for a long time (along with not consuming that much popular media) I literally avoided being inspired just because I didn’t want to copy things, for example I don’t think I’ve drawn a single piece of fanart from anything I’ve enjoyed watching JUST because I didn’t want to post it online and be known or get stuck as the [insert name here] fan artist. But… if I did that would’ve helped me grow so much?? I would’ve constantly had a reason to draw without struggling too much to come up with my own ideas/designs, and that’s a perfect way to practice and make progress. And I literally wouldn’t have gotten “stuck” at all because I can change what I draw whenever I want to. 😭 The things and people I’ve purposefully (and probably subconsciously) taken inspiration from have really defined a lot of what I want to possibly do though. I also realized recently I’ve always been so supportive or hype of what everyone is doing/creating but my own things, idk why? Don’t feel like thinking about rn. I’ve kinda tied my own doubt to how much I care about whatever I’m working on, thinking about it like that kiiinda makes it a little better?? Idk if that makes much sense. But as long as whatever you wanna make exists and is shared, someone’s gonna find it and like it too! ^^

I love one piece you put it into better words then I ever could.

As someone who hasn't uploaded cause I fear it's not good enough, I definitely needed this. That intro is crazy too by the way, I loved that!

Well said, now I’m gonna go make some art and experiment with the ideas I have.

that finishing sentence was really powerful

This video was SICK. I really enjoyed watching it, especially because it captured my own feelings as a young artist. I often struggle with wanting to create something absurd or strange with an underlying fear of rejection from anyone who sees it. I'm just now learning to get over that fear because as a creative person restriction only hinders my enjoyment and improvement in the world of art. The amount of references to various media in this video, most of which I could identify, was insane. I truly feel inspired after watching this video and as the school year approaches I am met with the challenge of keeping myself motivated artistically. I recall feeling lost last school year because I couldn't focus on art *and* education at the same time, and ended up being so burnt out that my creativity simmered into a pile of ash. Luckily this summer gave me some time to recuperate, and although I'm not proud of how I spent it (sleeping into the afternoon), I've definitely introduced myself to more art than I could ever imagine. I finally left my comfort zone by exploring things I never thought I'd enjoy, listening to bands I thought I'd hate. I've also developed a recent passion for music, along with art forms spanning past what I normally focus on: visual art. I'm learning guitar and entering theater this year, both of which have interested me, but I've been too scared to explore until now. Multimedia has genuinely become my passion, and I believe it'll stick with me for the long run.

I hear trying out bath salts can take your creativity and imagination to new heights 😅 but this one looks like so much was put into it like never before and thanks for putting out such a wicked sick video

I know this video was gonna be a banger Your editing style and video essays so cool and stylized keep it up

This one video is revealing so many of my insecurities, it'ss frightening. And also quite freeing. Thanks @Augie

Truly love the fact you added your passion for anime, music and fashion because i felt moved throughout the entire video!! 💯🔥

This video deserves a chefs kiss bro, you goin places fs

Banger

Such a fantastic video and exactly what I needed to hear! Love the editing as well 🔥🔥

I actually struggled to scroll down to the comments. I got 19 minutes in, and the fashion section made me actually struggle and hesitate multiple times, because I really didn't want to miss a second of your video. During the whole video: I actually had an intense inspiration that I wanted to act on. All in all: I can't thank you enough for bringing me to a point where I think I'm a completely different person. I feel like I've grown more from the past 18 years, in the past 20 minutes, and I'm not even done. Edit: Your vision really did come true. You've touched the hearts and souls of so many people, and now you're here. I genuinely hope you're proud of yourself-- because you should be.

That intro Cinematic was incredible holy shit

The visuals go so well with whatever you are talking about. Fantastic work!

This is one of the best KZfaq videos I’ve watched ever! Keep doing you man.

This is probably by far THE best video I've seen this year I'm pretty sure this video alone has rekindled the desire to grow and improve some aspects of me I genuinely Thank you for making this masterpiece of a video Well done 👏

You are someone, sir, who truly understands one piece. Respect & subbed.

I just want to say that I absolutely love your music taste and thanks a lot for writing down the song names in the describtion

Man, just the first seconds, I know this man resonates with me! Great job, Brother! 🔥

All your videos have such a good production quality, feels like brain protein powder

Thank you for making this. It has inspired me to continue my dreams of being a musician/artist

The intro instantly made me wanna sub

I loved this video sm u have no idea. I live that you actually use characters from anime and analyze it really well

i like how each section has anime

Amazing video augie, and as always, you've really captivated my thoughts and beliefs about all sorts of media. what you say and the subjects you talk about resonate with me a bit different than many if not all others. I don't comment much but just wanted to say keep being you, and don't stop dreaming :)

That Minecraft transition was 😮‍💨 u locked in for this one 🤞🏿

end hits hard

this one was a banger i can’t lie, probably your best vid so far imo!!

this was beyond beautiful

This was an inspiring ass video. Resonated so much with so much said here, thank you for making this masterpiece 🔥🔥🙏🙏 I really really respect how boldly unafraid these guys are to truly and fully be themselves, it's truly awe-inspiring...

Write an anime already man, geez the stuff you say makes me want to see your creativity in the forms that you have passion for!

Bro This is the most inspiring video I have ever seen.This video has caused me to try to make efforts to become the best version of myself like I did before.

I thought tbis would be someone with millions of subs what the hell This video is genuinely incredible

there's so many things I'm trying to be good at, I'm rewatching this later. I needed this, thanks.

that was undoubtedly one hell of an outstanding video WOW. amazing stuff man

tekken music when introducing shoyo was top tier

You cooked with this 👏 (and sheesh, the thumbnail is gorgeous)

This the best Video on Creativity I’ve ever watched

Beautiful

I have a perfect picture of everything I want to get down to a T I just physically can't focus and get it down😅

Excellent video, seriously, instantly subbed

ts raw asf keep it up brodie

This should have waaaaaaaaaaaaay more views, my god

Bro said, "Let me make the most inspiring video on youtube"

my problem is that i have so many different insecurities and a debilitating lack of motivation to act on my creative impulses. i'd love to one day write an ongoing comic or story or whatever, or make a movie, or album, etc. but i just know it'll be bad at the start which is why i don't EVEN start. inspiration is important as you point out but i feel like i'd just be stealing or doing someone else's idea but worse. i don't even have any skills in actually making art but that very idea is what discourages me from getting to a point where i do. i have so much stuff i want to make but the crippling fear that it'll all just be 'cringe' or a blatant copy stops me from trying. i wish i knew how to fix it because "just do it" only works when you truly have no fear like tyler or were simply born with more skill points to allocate to every craft imaginable like gambino. video is fucking fantastic though, editing, music, message etc is on point

I'm glad I found this video. It's been a looooooooooong time since a video made me feel something. Instant Sub

14:30 This would be such a good transition to Kuroko no Basket. They have a super form which is literally getting in "The Zone."

Mannnn this is the most inspiration video of 2024 🤝

fellow creators, we're gonna make it

Bro was just like "ake One Piece or dont i dont care!" Bro now i wont stop trying to be Oda. THANKS!

I didn't know my maladaptive daydreaming skill can be useful afterall

THANK YOOOOOOUUUUU!!!!!!!!

Great video. Very colorful I love it. I figured a long time ago that I was a creator because I wanted to make all kinds of things. This was a good reminder of how endless it is.
