What's up Dtube, My name Is Harshil Patel and Today I Want To Ask You This Question...
Are you copying someone else's style?
First of all.. I need to share that I strted making videos by copying my favorite content creator.. Nas Daily.
BUT.. After 10 months of doing that.. I slowly realized what I wanted to create in the word. That's why I'm here to share this one thing I've learned over the past 3 years of creating stuff...
Copy Then Innovate.
Pretty sure I read that saying in a book somewhere. Regardless... I think this is important. I'm not saying steal someone's exact work and their words and put them on your video. I'm saying use cool camera shots, the way they tell a story.. But infuse your style and personality to it.
Here's a thought...
Don't be too hard on yourself.
Final thoughts:

All that rain and it looks like your hair is barely affected....must have a force field around that head of yours, haha. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. it's a part of learning and growing. I agree that over time, your own style appears. Good stuff.

dude you should have seen Casey's video. He looked pissed. I didn't get it. But I'm also biased, because I copy until I find my own voice. I hated when people would tell me my videos were like Nas's. I want people to say, whoa, those are Harshil's videos.

It's funny because when I saw your videos for the first time, I thought immediately about Nas Daily:) It shows. In a good way though, he is great and I love watching his videos.
Also kudos for recording a video under the rain!

How you learn and grow in your media development is very similar to the same process we go through as children.
