"Don't ask what the world needs, ask what makes you come alive. Because what the world needs most, is more people who come alive." - Howard Thurman
6 months ago I began this project, and since then it has consumed every part of my being. The day I would click upload seemed like it was a million miles away. It feels weird knowing that it's over. Never in my life have i put this much of myself into one project, but this one was special and I knew i had to give it my all. Collectively I've put well over 500 hours of focused editing into this video. I spent 3 weeks on a flipped sleep schedule where I would wake up after sunset and work throughout the night in complete isolation and go to sleep as the sun would rise. I made a lot of sacrifices to make this happen. If you guys want to support me and continue seeing more passion driven work please share and make sure to follow me on all my social channels!
Follow the journey!

Animations by the incredibly talented Howard Wimshurst. Howard had been an absolute pleasure to collaborate with on this project. When I first saw Howard's style I was hooked and knew I needed to get him on board for this one and I'm so happy I did. Make sure to check out Howard's channel!

Always come back for motivation
@@CharlieAshman true!

Who is back after losing a loved one

Film School: *Doesn’t accept Sam
Sam: I didn’t really need you
Channel 355 name a better youtuber than Sam 😂
It always fascinates me how film school decline the best videomakers in the world, for instance Devin Graham, Sam Kolder, etc..
I Consider him a benchmark of Film making!
@@LuciaBrezianska well UA-cam "filmmaking" is very different from larger scale films and story telling often taught in film school.
Lucia Brezianska Videography cause film school and UA-cam films are very different. You wouldn’t really be able to compare Sam kolder or JR AllI to Stanley Kubrick or Christopher Nolan cause they got very different routes
ANOTHER MASTERPIECE SAM! -- I'm amazed and emotional at the same time. Really worth the wait. Tim is very proud of you ~!
It took death for him to truly embrace life Samantalang tayo it took thier videos. To embrace life. Hands down for this vid. Esp. The unexpected animations.
@@jeff_gu Yup, hindi ko inexpect na medyo personal yung meaning ng video. Pero nung napanood ko, mas tumaas pa yung respeto ko sa kanya. -- Hands down.
@@jeff_gu idol ko si sam pero mas saludo ako kay Isaac J. Rene ang gaganda rin ng video niya
This is honestly the best video I have seen in my entire life and I've been on UA-cam and Vimeo since 2008 and consume a LOT of content.
Hands down a masterpiece Sam! I'm 100% sure Tim and everyone watching will agree with me!
Thank you so much for being such an inspiration man!
The best
Check out Watchtower of Turkey, it's right up there with this one :)
Can’t believe this video has dropped on the 8 year anniversary of loosing my older brother Ben, man I’m in tears. Thank you for the inspiration to come alive
Sorry for your loss Dylan. My brother is still alive and well and I still got emotional as all hell watching this and reading the comment section. I hope that the memories and experiences you had together with him will stay alive as long as you live and I wish you and your family well. Stay strong man.
Dylan Ridsdale sorry for your loss and Carry on pursuing your goals
I have watched this video countless times for inspiration. The amount of hard work, effort & incredible moments that have gone into this edit.. it's just flawless. There's no doubt Tim would be proud of you Sam
Loved this brother, creation from the heart ♥️🙏🏼✨
Working on anything similar Ben😉
2 years of filming and 6 months of editing??? Dude this video deserves 100 million views
Yeah,right
Pleasee
Actually 4 Years of filming,I saw them on his old videos
absolutely agree with you !
Yeah,right
3 Years later and this video still gives me goosebumps and inspires me to be greater. Thank you Sam for this video
same!
Whaat nearly 3 years omg
SAME
Same! Watching this amazing video is good for the soul honestly. See you in another 3 years and hopefully sooner!
Very true 😊
I don't think film school could've taught you any of this.
preachhh
Film school is bullshit
It doesn't. Trust me 😒. You can only learn through networking, UA-cam, and books.
your comment just made my day.
@@nateanderson3364 Eh, not necessarily. Helps with making connections, especially at a professional level.
Dude my heart goes out to you, so sorry for your loss, he would be so so proud of you man! so so proud! Another absolute masterpiece to say the least
Benn TK 2 world class filmmakers I can’t wait for urs bro... 👍
Benn TK saameeee 💔😞
waiting for ur video too bro.
Bentk 2 legends in the industry sam and ben hope you guys would collab in the industry, so fan of your work!
😭
Anybody else think that this is the best video on this platform?
Hardik Karelia for sure!!
@@yeitsluk 🔥
Yes, still very underrated
100% yes, its the only video that I have kept coming back to watch and I will definitely continue to come back to watch over and over again
Hardik Karelia no shadow of a doubt!!!!
I honestly have no words for this. My biggest role models in life aren’t professional sport stars or famous musicians but the people in life who choose to take their own direction, go against the grain, create experiences like no other and this Sam is unreal my dude! RIP to Tim and I’m sure he is looking down on you with the biggest grin, he would be so proud. Thankyou
Amazing!
This is the best editing I've seen so far. Respect.
hi storysium
One of the best videos I’ve seen in a very long time Sam. Stoked we got to see it a month ago knowing what you’ve been cooking up for so long and now seeing it put out into the world 👏 proud of you and Tim would be too. ❤️ Love you dude -Thomas
lmfao
@@oliverzink6211 lmao xD
@@oliverzink6211 hahathey did the documentary together they deserve to flex
@C using internet language on the internet is far from weird (maybe if he used it in a eulogy, that would be weird) also, using UA-cam to post gameplay is also far from weird....which makes your comment weird as fuck . The extreme laughter at the end too, at your own comment? get well soon
You probably dont give a shit but does anyone know a trick to log back into an Instagram account??
I was dumb forgot the password. I appreciate any tricks you can offer me
Undoubtedly the best video on the entire internet. I sincerely mean that.
Lyssa Gsep could not agree more has to be my 20th time watching
w o r d - agreed
@@noahd3434 Honestly, I have lost count how many times I have watched.
I don't know man, this video looks cool too: ua-cam.com/video/WLIv7HnZ_fE/v-deo.html
This quality of cinematography can’t be taught in film school, it’s pure talent.
Ya
And passion.
It's talent, but it's even more effort. I can't even imagine how many hours he has spend perfecting every little transition, piece of sound design, timing, special effects for lightning, making the story and even more so making the story make sense. It's such insanely impressive work.
Its innate talent 🤩🤩
Can we develop such talent in ourselves??
This is the best film so far you've realized ! Incredible work
"So there's this girl... you'd be proud of me man." 😭❤
😍💙
what does it mean?
@@alejandraarias4906 ur u fucking dumb?
I remember sam video - something just like this....please check to my chanel.😊
Alejandra Arias it means that the girl is truly amazing (it shows how much Sam loves her)
This is a masterpiece!! ❤️🙌
That's how pure art is created, by putting your soul into it.
we all can feel how special this video is to you! 💙
a masterpiece!
Incredible!
After watching this I looked at my brother and smiled.
Thank you for reminding me to be greatful.
I will also be a filmmaker one day :)
Calling kold an influencer would be an insult.
He's an inspirer.
100%
Totally true!
that's so cool! I completely agree.
200%
@@AngeloSomers what do you mean this isn't kold.
It's over. My Year 2016 is finally not the best video on youtube anymore.
lpz damn I agree!!!
It still is, at least for me anyway
Agreed!!!!
"My Year 2016" will be a legendary video for us.
agreed my man
This is like my favorite UA-cam Video ever! Not even kidding. Got goosebumps all the way. Thank you for the inspiration
Blackout
Who else comes back to this video multiple times over the months? this is very likely one of the best videos of this type that's been created!
agreed
Me🥺
probably watched it a thousand times
Always.... I've watched this video for well over 50times now! Like for real!!
Without a doubt.
Remember Sam...this project will remain in the history of UA-cam, cause it’s simply the best 👏🏻
Better than all the rest.
Complete agree! Don’t understand why ytb don’t put this on trend !
I'm still watching this in 2024... Sam Kolder has always been an inspiration
Same!
true bro
Me nigga! 😅
Rest In Peace Tim ♥️ 🙏🏻
Hope you’re having an adventure up there
bruh
did i click on a youtube video or the oscars award live stream? help me
Both of them is wrong, this is the Oscars award winner
I've followed you since i was 19, then my father was gone when i was 20. I realize how life is working, i started to make a solo trek to Everest Base Camp when i made it to 22 ( my first time going abroad country ). Now i became an editor and colorist in the best production house in my country. Thanks for this video man, my tears drop like hell.
I can see your father smiling of proudness from here.
You are a true warrior, brother.
I'm glad you made it through hell, wish you the best from the bottom of my heart.

This video is timeless
@@cadepatel5643 facts 🙌
Here exactly for that reason.
Me, every time.
Same brother!
Can’t explain how much this film has impacted me. Even to this day
True watch so many times.
To this dayyy!
Even to this day...
Ah you're this guy who edited his comment :D

Kold & Odesza is the type of combination we need more and more.
Yes, Right!
Yes please!
Like Nolan and Zimmer
yes please!!!!!!!
Agree!

" it took me 4 hours to edit this " only true fans will remember
Thats kinda new clip everyone knows that not just og
it was his last video so idk
yep
Yup, I knew
Surf transition to the sky. 100% remember.
You skipped 'My Year 2017' and '18 and made 'My Entire Life' instead. My God. This is a masterpiece.
He had to. Everybody kept copying off of him. Now, everyone is gonna put animation into their videos 🤦♂️.
@@brycedurham7101 Is this forbidden? I think not?
@@brycedurham7101 nah fam; it takes more work to animate somrthing; ppl copy Sam easily with some shitty meaningless zoom presets with no purpose; ppl need to Kno when to use a transition at the right moment or else it looks too gimicky
kold: spends 500 hours editing an amazing 11 minute tribute video backed by beautiful visuals and deep emotion
me: spends 500 hours trying to find the color key effect in premiere pro
it took me 500 hours to find where's my premier pro

I never thought I'd be so inspired that I'd want to cry. You are such a powerful person in so many lives, never stop doing what you do.
I just lost my Mom to Covid a few days ago. As I come back to life myself, your video truly helps me come back. Inspiring. You are a master young man.
Sorry to hear man. All the best
Hope you are doing well. My prayers are out to you
Sorry for your loss ❤️🙏🏻

Try not to cry --> Cry a lot
Thanks for your inspiration, Sam
Amazing work!
Viewer: How many smooth and incredible transitions will we see in this video?
Sam: yes.
lmao
Tears of sadness for you while watching this and tears of pure amazement. What a work of art, your brother can be extremely proud of you 👊🏼
This guy makes my life look so shit I can't even imagine.
:( really? i dont even want to know what happend to you
He should inspire you to make something out of your life :) thats the secret, you can do anything you set your mind to
Buildpucipuci02 bro he lost his brother and your comment shows how powerful the message in this video is. The whole message is no matter how dark your life may be at the moment you can do amazing stuff like he is if you really desire it.
Think you missed the point here buddy
his life was once like yours and he has ups and downs, this video shouldn't put you down tho it should open your eye to life and the world and make you see the world differently, it should make you want to do something and be something amazing, don't live by the worlds expectations live by your own.
This MUST be #1 on Trending... So much respect for all your hard work, man... I, and probably the majority of the people who watched this, am speechless. Incredible! 🙏
The cinematography, the editing, the music, the story!
*Perfection.*
Thanks for sharing, mate (: just texted my older brother how much I love him. These creative reminders heal our world.
Tim is proud.♥️

Basically consider this a revamped My Year 2018-2019. excellent work Sam. Never ceases to amaze and inspire.
Imagine Sam painting apartments in Toronto
What a waste of potential
Whoah man you're channel it's so good I love your work
Now imagine, that's probably more than two thirds of the world.
Thank you for including my cover in this beautiful video
Gorgeous work, BTW!
These transitions are incredible Sam, every minute of filming, travelling and editing you put into this project was worth it, I'm sure Tim would've been super proud 👊
So sick man! Such a great message, thanks Sam!
Every time I feel unmotivated to chase my dreams, I come back to watch this video. It always reminds me not to quit and to keep grinding! Thank you so much for that, it means the world
I rarely comment , but man this video killed me you inspired me to do filmmaking
This should be on UA-cam Awards 2019.
100%
And UA-cam Rewind
It isn't
21 years old today & lost my father this year, & this video brings me to tears every time. To everyone who’s lost a family member.. i love you all ♥️
I lost my dad back in 2012 !
i wish everyone a good day ☃️
I lost my Dad in 1992....Cheers and love young fella...

I lost my Dad this year 30th January 2021 I'm totally in pain but at the. Same time I'm moving because that's just how life is
That last animated scene with you and Tim was beautiful. Incredible video Sam!
Anyone still watching this vid in 2020 for the 100th time?

Who still watches this masterpiece in 2023?
its still timeless in 2024

Inspiring.
Haha ça beau être inspirant, il a aussi une très belle liberté financière, voyager comme ça et toujours faire des activités de malade c'est pas donné, après je l'admets je c'est pas ci c'est lui qui a fait l'animation mais c'est vraiment très bien fait 💪🏼
The dot makes it gae
I could see this coming ever since 'My Year 2016' was out. This must have been therapeutic for you to make, a worth it way to be able to properly goodbye your brother, while inspiring others to LIVE. Very fitting on yourself, glad you were able to take this on.
God damn it, you are so talented this is truly incredible!
Feeling depressed and no longer wanting to live. I watched this video and sobbed. This made me realize how life is precious. Thank you, Sam for this masterpiece.
I feel you. Find inspiration, and find your purpose to live, and you continue ticking
Genuinely incredible man, seriously pushing the boundaries with what is possible with film and cinematics. Not only that but your story telling is great, keep killing it bro 🤙🏻
It’s a shame that this channel is still struggling to get the golden play button
Shame on you youtube
diamond doesn't need GOLDEN button
Md Eliasinul Islam well said brother
I am kadam UA-cam never even featured Sam kolder.
He is sooo underrated
it's just so radical , kold is a bit ahead of time :)
Thats the thing. So sad its just all about feeding the algorithm
Beautiful video Sam..made me cry .. May your brother Tim rest in peace 🙏💙
Film school be like: 'No, this is not good enough'
Wtf bro, I loved this!
These transitions, sound effects, visuals, everything...are beyond me! Stunning work here! Only a burning desire can create what we all just witnessed, not a school, teacher, or any other influencer.
You will learn more in experience than school

I learnt one thing from Sam that is "Quality over quantity"
He uploads video once after 2/3 months , and here it is the result, Hats off.
Never Stop Creating Dear Filmmakers
He's the greatest inspiration
*This is something most emotional I have seen in my whole life! Huge respect for you Mr. Kolder!*
That makes you the best director and the greatest video editor on this internet!
Speechless!
