Nathaniel’s story<\/b><\/h2>\n
Nathaniel Drew was barely out of high school when he first attempted to build a YouTube channel in 2015.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nWith an old camera “on auto” and no clues about lighting, he filmed, shot and posted weekly videos while travelling in South America. After a while, he cottoned on to editing and began to develop a unique look and style.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nBut after a few rough experiences overseas, Nathaniel stopped posting on YouTube and started learning about the technical side of photography and film. He avidly consumed what felt like millions of how-to videos and grabbed any work he could find. Finally, the experience he gained in editing, audio, post-production and directing began to pay off, and in 2018, with newfound confidence and optimism, Nathaniel returned to YouTube.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nAs with most new channels, progress was slow, but by April 2019, the Nathaniel Drew YouTube channel was well on the way to success.<\/span>
