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!
haha that's amazing. I love Nas's content so much. But It's time to find my own voice. I think the mannerisms will stay.. cause I've had that for a my whole life lol. It's funny how similar me and Nas act lolol
Maybe you are his secret twin :D
Btw I have also started doing dtube videos lately and I live in Prague. What do you think about the city? Isn't it amazing?:)
WAIT YOU LIVE IN PRAGUE? We should grab coffee and do a collab?! I love it. I've been here for only 2 days and I'm in love already
Hahah, the enthusiasm :D I have never done a collab but hey, life is about stepping out of the comfort zone. Let's chat on Discord tomorrow? inspiranka

haha cool! Chat tomorrow :)
Your hair is on point, even in the rain! <3
haha thank you! means a lot :P
A great way to learn is by modeling.
100 percent! the only way I learn
How you learn and grow in your media development is very similar to the same process we go through as children.
No one needs copyright. Copyright is the enemy of innovation and advancement.
