How many likes for you to recreate that first music video? The world needs it.

You can definitely see the influence backstreet boys had in Parker's life and the video 🤣

I would love to see you fix the colors, white balance, and saturation on these videos! The glimpse at a couple fixed frames on Parker's 2nd video was awesome! If you guys have some time to have a friendly competition of selecting a old first video, and remake it, and judge the winner (Parker's the winner, according to Parker haha) I would LOVE to see that!

Jake: Before I even knew- Parker: “People got married” 😂 😂 😂

Now I understand why Parker always says "Fake it till you make it".😀

Please do a new Version of the UV Song ! Same Song, todays skills but same camera as the original (you can use NDs and a better micro)

Now I feel good after watching this

Hi Parker I have been a member of ftf for 3 months now and I have landed lots of big jobs thanks to you and the team. Thanks so much

I feel absolutely motivated to go out there and make as much mistakes as I can make.

Parker “I’ll pay 100 bucks for that.” Landon “I wouldn’t” 😂

I can't stop singing "I want it. I need it " and now people are looking at me in a weird way.😂😂😂🤣 Seriously you are the man for sharing these. The whole team.

Wow, thank you Mr. Walbeck for sharing your personal side. I noticed some off the b-roll of you singing in your past videos, but now this is better!

Hey Guys, i really appreciate that you share your beginnings with us. When looking on KZfaq or Instagram i always think that everyone is very good at the whole film-making and picture stuff and i become like kinda scared to start shooting because i often think i will never get that good like they are (or like you are) and as u mentioned in your Video its the same for me: I expect my first Video to have a quality close to yours even though i know that this is nearly impossible. So i didnt even try. I have a GH5 like 2 years now and didnt even shoot and edited a single video. I took just a few pictures with it. Such a shame. Your Video helped me to realize that u have to start somewhere and get your ass up even the end product isnt looking that great as u expected it to be. Skills develope over time and need a lot of practice and failing is part of the process. That is what i take from your Video. Really thank you guys for everything your teach here for free. I will learn to use it and finally get started doing Videos. Keep going!

This video just reminds me that everyone started somewhere

Parker and your team, thanks so much for making this video. It's really inspirational and at the same time enjoyable 🙌❤️

dude i love watching my old videos, for learning what mistake i made. . thats how i learn till now. thanks man for every video u make i can understand little bit more about filming and video making.

I don't know why but Parker's first video really makes me satisfied... That is me right now ... 😶

Wow I actually love it. Besides it being a little cheesy it's clear young Parker has mucho natural talent! Thanks for sharing this!

Love the content you guys put out and super excited to grow as I go through the FTF course. It’s been amazing so far. This video definitely gives hope haha. Consist creating is key and it obviously shows when you look at where you all started!

Parker u r just becoming one of inspirational filmmakers like Casey Neistat and Peter McKinnon 😃❤️

*I would just like to congratulate you on hitting 1 million subscribers* , I have been a subscriber since 80,000 subscribers. All of you have helped me build my wedding videography career. I am now *14 yrs old* and have my own camera (Canon 200d) * It took me 2 years to save up* and purchase but I don't regret it. One day I dream to be like you guys! _That's my story, excited to see what happens in the future with Full-Time Filmmaker. Best of Luck Parker, Landon etc._

I joined your course recently, and I think the most valuable part is a community. I took many courses in the past, but the community here is the best. So active, so responsive, very helpful. And the course about filming weddings from Jake is just amazing.

Definitely showing my class this. Love showing them that every professional started out with these kinds of videos.

Love seeing these kind of videos. Growth through humility and a dash of regret!

This brought a lot of joy to me! Being able to laugh at past mistakes due to the fact it was part of learning! Cheers for the motivation. Parker, you should be a comedian too.

Remember new filmmakers: it takes 10000 hours to become an expert. That's around 4-5 years. Don't give up!

This reminds me of shooting my first video and my second. The stark difference was astounding and your channel and Sean Kitching helped me tremendously! Thank you!

"It just takes time to get good" love it, sometimes we get suck when we don't get the resut I was expecting, simply because I needed to spend more time learning and practicing

I love showing the beginnings. I really appreciate it and as someone like me that is just getting started, it helped tremendously to see how you guys got started. Huge thanks! I’ll be uploading my first videos soon! The name gives my entire channel away.

I love stuff like this. It's nice to see people that I admire and how far they've come.

Parker I have to say.. you have got to be one of the coolest dudes on planet earth.

Hey! This was a great video to showcase that practice is key when developing a skill. I'm just starting out and already am noticing week to week changes in how I shoot, edit, and produce content. I have so much more to learn and I'm glad to receive some encouragement. Keep up the good work!

Utah !!! Been there a few times ... I went to the MTC back in 2001 So nice to see the Provo temple ;)

Their reaction when Parker said "That's when I knew I had a gift" 😂

"You shouldn't shoot a wedding unless uve shot a bunch"...lol

Wow, what a great difference between the video you shoot as the beginner and right now. It definitely motivates to put more time and effort into what you're doing to be good at it. Awesome video!

Guys, tell me that this video has won the contest! Even today 2020 I am freakin like it! The story, the idea, and even the singing is fresh as a orange juice! Parker, nobody cares about overexposure.People dont have time to see it. The most important is that the video is stunning!!!!!!! Regards from Bulgaria bros!

The beautiful thing about success is. We all began somewhere. Thank you for sharing

I can not believe the one who started for nothing now has something me too i want to became videographer too just like you did!!!!!!!!!

Great advice as always guys - love Parker's comment that there's no shame in doing your first gig for free. Also the 10K hour thing - really motivational and makes me want to keep pushing ahead!

Thanks guys, you inspired me to do first video of my own too, looking forward to do more. Thanks for encouragement to start and not be perfect, to start and make mistakes... To finally start :)

I've realized my skills are lacking and today I have decided to get the full time filmmaker course. I'm pretty excited to get started. I'm petty nervous about the price but I think the Investment in myself is worth the price of admission. It has great reviews and I'm so happy to have the money to spend in a time like this. thanks for all the free content Parker, you Rock Dude.

Okay guys, ... I don't know how I ended up here however,... I did, and watched the three of you "REFLECTING" on where you were,.... so, I asked my self where are you now?... and clicked the Parker Walbeck channel,... and as you could imagine, I was floored! Very impressed! Great composition, cuts, seamless transitions and a nice touch of storytelling. You've gained a subscriber.

Awesome, guys. I hear you -- every six months I look back at my own work and want to poke my eyeballs out.

Generous, smart, full of info. and I love the self effacing humour. Best wishes, HP

I know gear is just the tippity top of filmmaking, but I think it would be awesome to see the 3 of you returning for your starter kit for a shoot!

Just Start, thats a AMAZING! Because you all start in some way, now you are in another level. Thanks for your videos!

Wow its really amazing and a good motivation for us beginners who really wanted to learn and become best filmmaker like you and your team. God Bless you and thanks for sharing it 😊.

thank your for being such an inspiration to all us small youtubers!

Wow, Jake really improved over 5 years! I love those 2019 shots! 2014 Jake is me atm, I am probably much worse

Of all the videos I’ve watched, this inspired me the most 🥺

This was just so funny and inspiring lol. Thank you!

Really enjoyed the video. Very inspiring to see how far everyone came👏🏾💯. I just started my journey. Can’t wait to see my growth. Thank you

It's good to see the professionals first videos as I feel self conscious on trying to do my first videos with a camera, as they'd turn out probably worse than yours. Definitely understanding color balance and such is a key thing I'll be considering!

Great lesson from this video! Thanks for sharing!

One of my fave uploads from you guys!!

Really loved it. I’m 57 with the goal of making a major motion picture. I have a lot to learn so big thanks to you guys for great videos

Bahahaha your singing energy and how you’re singing style are so different 🤣🤣🤣👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 jamming this

Great improvements and learning. Keep rocking....

I'm learning so much from this channel! Thank you so much, guys! This is basically all I watch on KZfaq now. Extremely useful info. Through your reviews, I got my first beginner camera (m50ii) and I'm learning about videography. On another note.... 10:43 Isn't he your fake bonsai psycho friend? Lol

Omg! This got me going! 😊😊😊. To humble beginnings. You made it Parker

Hey Parker, your first video is not bad at all, nailed it!

landon has increased a lot in editing

This was fun & very inspiring. It took me far to long to start working in my passion. but niw that i hv done ✅ i give my 100 percent effort and time. 24/7 i think of filmmaking. i am shooting-editing, when i am not i am watching & learning from KZfaq. Things r really tough fr me now, no money, no support frm family, i am am not stopping ✊ .. Lets see where i will lead myself. Success or Faliure? i will not regret that i hv not tried and gave my 100 percent. looking forward to the day i join the “ Fulltime Filmmaker Course” 🤘

I love how so many cinematographers are from Utah.

"That's when I knew I had a gift"

Great video! Love seeing the growth!

Do they do the Utah Valley competition anymore? I live here and want in. Also loved the BYU art museum and the Y. Something so monumental happened so close...

Its great journey... good luck...

Thanks bro... i just started studio. nice advice

This actually really motivates me topush myself more into the filmmaking world

Nice... You should do the part 2 of this where you use the same shots, corrected in edit... To demonstrate how you can correct bad footage or bad arrangement, etc.. That would be cool... Thanks for the great content...

So right it takes time and every video is an important lesson

What a music video ! We’ll done ! Is this Bruno Mars or Parker Walbeck wearing the Jazz jersey ? 🤣 Big energy ! Love it !

Very interesting it put you on another pedestal Good job done and stay safe

Everyone has the first time, this is experience Thank you for sharing

Bravo Parker.. Talents 👌

Bro can u make a vedio on types of expressions. Shooting from different angles

People really don't wanna work hard but need results. Really guys gear doesn't matter. Just work hard

9:45. Best filmmaking advice I've ever heard.

Thank you for sharing. You guys are awesome. Always great content. Looking forward to remake after 10,000 likes!

Oh my God, Parker...geez😂 I'm giving you a Grammy for the song. You guys are doing awesome stuffs.

So much milk! Hahaha. This is incredible. Seeing your first videos and having it compared to the good stuff is so encouraging. Your advice is great! I love it.

This motivation .. I started 2012 hit a lot of rd blocks .. this jus proves stick to it I’ll eventually get to where I want to be

Good work bro. My first video was with my laptop webcam and edited with windows movie maker.

Man you should also continue with your music career you have such a great charisma.

Thank you ! Best lesson yet : "You have to suck at it before coming good at it !"

Hope for everyone here 🙌🏻

This is great stuff, as a beginner, seeing how it all started and the improvement over time is a great inspiration for me 💪 I have just started and I can't wait to see what my videos will look like in 3/4 years, cheers from Italy!

I like this kind of content where you guys react to videos 😁

what a great song i love the utah valley!!!! it's dope! love it!

When in doubt, watch this... This is everything:)))

This give me hope but it was awesome to see your first projects.

8:48 - haha soo funny! Great video bros!

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOh My Gooooooooood!!!!! This was very very very funny, I had no choice but launghing a lot, You don´t even know how much I liked it!!!!! I had to replayed it two times.

I have to read Outliers over the summer for AP Lang and I don't want to read it but now that the man himself Parker Walbeck suggested it, it is my destiny to read this.

I feel like having money for gear and knowing what you want to shoot will help cut the learning curve a lot, like if you mainly just want to shoot cars, do a lot of research on car photography/ videography and find out what the best settings are etc and then just go out and do a bunch of free shoots for people so you can practice until you feel like you can charge people for your services.

Inspiring! Thank you.

Wow looking at all these in terms of gears, you guys had all the privileges like those were my dream gears. Back in those days i started only with a Rebel T2i, Kit lens 18-55mm and a 50mm 1.8, couldn't even afford a glidecam but used a 17$ tripod instead. And yes, 6000K were our favourite wb lol. Everything in filmmaking is changing, nobody's waiting for you in the past

Thanks for motivation dude ✌✌
