NOBODY CARES ABOUT YOUR VIDEOS!

Do you feel like your videos don't get the views they deserve? I once was in the exact same situation.

I Also Made Videos Nobody Watched!

I always wanted to create good videos that reach a lot of people without going to a film school. But I was not good enough...

I spent years filming and editing my videos to make them look as "cinematic" as possible. But in the end, I had to realize that nobody cared about my videos.

They may have "looked good" on the surface, but the truth was that they didn't have any depth or impact on the viewer.

I was alone, struggled with growing my channel, and didn't have anyone to ask for help. I felt like I was wasting my time, money and potential.

But as time progressed, I came to the realization that this was all because I didn't know the most fundamental skill of making good videos...

THIS IS WHY YOU'RE FAILING

These four mistakes are the reason you are not getting results:

1. You can't package your
ideas into videos!

You are confused and don’t know how to convert your ideas into videos that make people curious and excited.

2. You are missing
the right tools!

You have good stories but are missing the necessary editing and filmmaking skills to tell your stories in an engaging way.

3. You are lost in the
technicalities!

You’re overwhelmed and only concerned about being "cinematic", but gear and flashy transitions don't make your videos stand out.

4. You are focusing on
the wrong things!

You are wasting your time on brand identity, thumbnails, titles, and other things that don’t move the needle for your channel.

The only thing that will get you results, is a good story told in an interesting way.

This is what people truly care about! But unfortunately telling good stories is not easy to learn... And that's exactly, why I am going to teach it to you!

STORYTELLING

Storytelling has existed since the beginning of our species, and that's why it is so ingrained in our minds. Stories are an incredible vehicle to spark curiosity towards a specific topic, transport knowledge, and touch the emotions of other people. They allow us to share plain facts in an engaging, relatable and memorizable way, which ultimately makes it the most powerful form of communication. And if done right, for a brief moment, you will have the attention of the world and the ability to share a message you truly care about.

filmmaking

Filmmaking allows us to not only rely on the reader's imagination but to consciously influence two of our strongest senses: Seeing and hearing. This audiovisual component of filmmaking is what opens up an entirely new world of storytelling. We’re now able to see and hear the characters of our stories. We’re able to be transported into a completely new environment in a matter of seconds. We’re able to feel emotions in a much more intense way. And all in all, through filmmaking our stories got completely connected to reality.

storytelling
& filmmaking

The power of storytelling in combination with filmmaking goes beyond the perception of most people. Understanding the psychology behind good stories and being able to visually tell them at their full potential allows you to take the viewer onto an experience that makes them truly invested in what you have to say. If you manage to master those two skills and learn how to put them to use, you can literally achieve anything you want. And I don’t say that lightly.

Attention is the currency of the 21st century and if you know how to make other people care about your message, you can make your greatest ideas come to life. You can monetize your passion, you can blow up your brand or you can influence an entire generation. The choice is all yours.

1. Share Your Vision

You are able to turn your wildest ideas into engaging stories and tell them exactly how you envisioned them to be.

2. Control The Narrative

You are able to consciously influence the emotions of the viewer and control the way your message is being received.

3. Build An Audience

You are able to create a meaningful connection with the viewer and build an audience that truly cares about your work.

4. Shape Beliefs

You are able to share your own truth with the world and shape the beliefs of other people who resonate with your story.

Meet Your Instructor

Niklas Christl is a self-taught Storyteller & Filmmaker who strives to inspire other people to pursue their passion. With his thrilling and authentic short films on Youtube, Niklas managed to amass an international audience of more than 1 million people who closely follow his work.

Niklas’ extensive experience in both documentary and commercial filmmaking, allowed him to marry the two worlds together and tell powerful stories paired with a cinematic visual experience.

In Niklas’ eyes, film schools are dead. The traditional approach of only teaching about one part of the creative process never satisfied his vision for executing big-scale projects all by himself. That’s why after 6 years of meticulously developing his own creative workflow, Niklas made it his mission to help other people become better storytellers and filmmakers by teaching them about his best-kept secrets.
