Same! This has been the daunting task for me mainly since I want a specific theme but can do only basic editing skills and with that I don't know how to achieve that theme. I would love it as well if you could touch up on the editing apps/software we could use to achieve a certain thing. Thanks!

Your videos have been such a huge inspiration. Honestly, whenever I've had a particularly down day as an artist; I'll come to your channel because your positivity is such a great reminder that all of this takes time, and each step is a step towards improvement. Congrats to you both for reaching 100K; you deserve it and much more!

I would LOVE a video like that. You don´t know how long I´ve been looking for material like this but for artists. Everything is very lifestyle content centered, or artists usually don´t share how they make their own videos. And this is why I like this channel so much.

Mimi, your KZfaq journey is truly inspiring, and your dedication to sharing your creative process and helping others on their artistic journeys shines through your videos. 🌟Throughout your journey, were there any funny or unexpected moments that happened behind the scenes while filming or editing your videos? 😄🎥

@monicasoriano8581 9 ай бұрын

I completely agree! Mimi's commitment to maintaining her values and not compromising for views is commendable. It's crucial to create content that aligns with your beliefs and values to maintain authenticity and build a loyal audience. Additionally, her idea of creating a course on making and editing videos for KZfaq is a great initiative. It would be beneficial for beginners looking to start their own channels. Overall, Mimi's story serves as a motivating example for those considering starting a KZfaq channel, emphasizing the importance of patience, passion, and staying true to oneself. Thanks for sharing Mimi! Looking forward for more contents like this!

Thank you once again for this video as it is giving me courage and confidence about my art and what I want to do with it. Drawing and painting are a part of me that I would love to share with the world. Yes, I am over 55 and scared about social media and not knowing how to start an online venture, even though I have Instagram and FB. Since I have been following you I have been drawing and painting everyday and getting better at it in the area of illustrating. Thank you for inspiring me to do so. I would love to for you to do a video on how to start or do a YT channel. (I started one years ago and gave up) Maybe you are the one that would push me to do it. OH! and you like F1!!!!! we love F1 here!!! big fans even though my favorite driver left many years ago.. Kimi Raikonnen... Thank you once again and looking forward to one day meeting you and your partner in person.

It actually kind of reassures me that you didn't use any specific music for your first videos and people would still look at them. I like to post real time process videos and searching for royalty free, long enough, musics to put on the recordings is such a mess that I don't want to bother with it at the moment haha Great video as always, and congrats for your milestone ! Also thank you for sharing so much😊

Would love a course on editing and creating videos for KZfaq. There are lots of courses out there, but not many from creators that are actually in the arts & design world. Many are also coming from a clickbaity / mr.beast vibe which is fun to watch but resonates less with me as a maker. So your perspective and aesthetic would be super highly appreciated on this topic.

You are one of my biggest inspirations and influences when it came to me deciding to start my art KZfaq channel. I love the dedication and hard work that the two of you share as a team. That being said, I would LOVE to have a course specifically for beginner art KZfaqrs. That's definitely something I would invest in! 💵Anyway, keep up the great work and wishing you much more success in the future!
