Those final words were so powerful. Thanks for the inspiration.
@CZsWorld
Thank you for continuing to post videos David!
@parallaxmike7320
thank you so much, David! I have been getting depressed over all the stress that comes from all of the filmmaking process. all of the emotions you've expressed I've felt since we started. there's a lot of weight on my back, but this was so inspirational that I can't wait to get this all done.
@nictheartist
This is almost advice for all aspects of life. Sometimes you feel nothing is working out, and that life is all crap. Then something comes up that makes you believe in yourself again.
@brentlauren5824
You're a huge inspiration! No matter how big you get in Hollywood, please don't ever stop doing your YouTube channel!
@tmfilms4521
I really needed to hear this after having the worst writing block I've had for a while. Idk if you look at your comments anymore but you're truly inspiring and incredibly humble and I hope that you continue to post videos like these now and then in the near future because they're gold!

This guy is such an inspiration
@PandoraChun
I love you and Lotta so much ❤️
@madnessbydesignVria
Can Lotta come and scold me when I need it? We all need our own Lotta. Wait, what about that closet that duplicated you guys..?
@hadeshouseproductions9035
Thank you David for keeping me motivated in creating my short films!
@jamienoble631
Trodde aldrig det skulle ske efter att ha slutat filmskolan för 10 år sedan, men nu ska jag fan i mig börja göra kortfilm igen. Tack David!
@TunamunaProduction
That last line. It needs to be circulated as his quote all over everything. Truly inspirational.

Awesome video David. What's interesting about this particular piece of advice is that it applies to all types of video projects. Just recently I reviewed Spider-Man Homecoming and as I put the video together I almost gave up after editing the voice over because I imagined that the video was going to be dull and a complete bore to watch. But as Lota told you, I told myself to power through and the video turned out great in the end. At least I think so. Keep these awesome videos coming Dave. Even though this series is based on horror shorts it does include a lot of invaluable advice that applies to other video projects.
@waspfilms8201
Allright, allright... we finish the next film and hope it would not suck... Thanks for holding up the motivation of every filmmaker here! And here was the proof: Everyone needs a Lotta.
@bobbyo6528
Wow! You speak truth! In every project I’ve done, I’ve had the “all is lost” moment where I questioned and doubted my work...nice to know that I’m not alone! Thanks man!

"Making an okay movie, or even a bad movie is always better than even the best movie that was ever made." said Super hot fire! and the crowd: OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHH!
@etuncar767
David I just have to say you are such a big inspiration to me. I had so many animations go down the drain because I simply didn't feel like making them because I was lazy or I thought it was going to be utter garbage. I want to sincerely thank you for reminding me to power through whatever your goal is. Thank you

I saw "Lights Out", the original short on YouTube 4 years ago. I'm obsessed with horror films and have been since I was a young lad. I've been so inspired in such a way since watching this short that I have done nothing but study my ass off in terms of learning everything I could about making not just movies but making films that people would actually enjoy watching. Fast forward years later, when I saw that "Lights Out" was in production and was to be released in thearters, I nearly shit myself. I was so elated for David and just straight up couldn't believe that this was actually happening for him and Lotta. I'm working on a script right now titled, "The Legend of the Chesterville Witch" and will be starting to film sometime later this winter. I'm working on a trailer for the film and will be posting it on YouTube and Vimeo within the next 2 months. I will also be submitting it to KickStarter with total confidence that it will be fully funded within the first 2 weeks of my 30 day mark. Thank you David for your words of wisdom and sharing your experience with the world. You may never know how much of an inspiration you trully are to me and to others like myself. David, you changed my life 4 years ago my friend. Good luck on your journey and wish me the best on mine.

This is fantastic advice. That feeling always made me give up on my writing whenever I felt like I was losing my ability to put the right words down and describe things, so instead of uploading my stories for other people to see and help me make them better, I stopped writing them down at all for fear that the amazing vision in my head would fizzle and turn out like crap the moment I put it to paper. It's great to hear from someone more experienced that that fear is completely unfounded.
