You have always been continuously encouraging and helping filmmakers around the world, making their lives better. I believe that your selfless dedication brings you more than just monetary rewards-it helps your soul grow, allowing you to face this world with more happiness and peace. Blessings to you, and thank you for all that you have given.
Thanks for your beautiful words my friend! It's a great encouragement to know that my videos are making a positive impact, and I'm super grateful for your support! Many blessings to you also :)
"You're an amazing teacher! Every time you upload a new video, I go straight to watch it because I know I'm going to gain real value from it. That's why I immediately purchased your coloring course. Thanks again for all the valuable content you provide!"
I always have a pen and a piece of paper when watching your videos... Early this morning I heard voices in my head telling me that the industry is saturated later finding this video on top of UA-cam... Now I feel inspired and more confident after watching; It makes me remove my notebook and pen to note some keywords and quotes.... you are a true inspiration brother.
Wow, this is super inspiring! I'm a filmmaker who has freshly graduated from college back in May and am finding that, while there are plenty of resources for learning technical skills, there's not a lot of guidance out there for how to lead a career in this industry, at least from what I've seen. So, videos like this are incredibly helpful. Thanks for sharing you're experience!
Thank you for existing and making me rethink my approach! Recently, I changed my career path and got accepted as a content creator for a huge corporation. I am trying to understand which way to move the brand and how my skills and expertise can be shown in the best light possible to build my portfolio and focus on my company's brand. Thank you, and I look forward to seeing your content and learning!
„…the gap between where I used to be is even bigger.“ Damn this hit hard, this is so true, when you actually think about it. Man, I wouldn’t call this a „video“ or „content“. This was a free masterclass! Again! Thank you! 🙏
This is why you're still my all time favorite youtuber. You sir, are literally part of the reason my company is here today. Amen to everything you said brother! ✊️
Seeing the parallel between what you share here and my own experiences only solidify the idea that I'm on the right path. Thanks for making this video Jacques!
Thanks for shining your light on the world and setting an example. It’s so refreshing to see someone with such authenticity and humbleness. Die video het diep met my gepraat! Dankie Jacques 🙌❤️
Your ability to identify how to stand out and then execute upon it is amazing Jacques. Looking forward to hear you cover more business related topics like these.
Jacques your videos keep on inspiring and motivating us. Thanks for being REAL. Baie Dankie broer van ‘n Suid-Afrikaaner hier in Canada. Ek waardeer jou werk baie!
I really like your videos man. Truely motivating! I am only starting my filmmaking career, and underestimating myself and my efforts is one of the biggest challenges I face everyday. Thank you.
Amazing video, really inspiring and really helped me understand the process one has to go through in filmmaking. All love from Zimbabwe my brother, thank you 🙏🏽
What a great video... again. Yes, it shouldn't be about comparison, but rather inspiration always. For example your videos and your work in general always inspire me a lot. Like today. We were shooting one video portrait with a great model and I tried for example some of those shots you recommended here in some of your videos. With my own approach to them and even the model loved those shots immediately. It's a dream for me to work once with you on some project. But before then... a lot of work in the front of me 😀💯
Always love to hear your insight brother! Definitely som takeaways from this especially determining my value to the industry…something I struggle with 😅 hope all is well dude ❤
Love the positivity! At the beginning of my career Vimeo was the place to go to watch amazing short films and to be inspired. Back then it was a hub for filmmakers to comment and discuss processes, gear, lighting etc.. It was rare to see any negativity, works were celebrated for all the amazing talent that is out there. Now with instagram, tiktok etc... I feel like the algorithms have changed the way people watch from being inspired to feeling fomo. Stop scrolling and get out there and shoot! (I realize that this is ironic as I write this while scrolling socials haha)
Haha I couldn't agree more mate! It was my number #1 source of inspiration and I used to spend so much time on there for exactly those reasons. The fomo thing is real though, I try to abstain from watching short form content because it has the ability to make me feel like I'm not doing enough! Thanks for taking the time to comment, your support really means a lot to me :)
YOU CAN DO IT PETER! Sometimes, being at the bottom is the best place because we get to see the growth so much clearer and there's an excitement to all the new things we learn :)
Thank you very much for sharing your thoughts. I really enjoyed your video and especially the very last sentence of it, when you mention PASSION. =) So true!
Grazie di cuore per tutto ciò che stai condividendo! Sei di ispirazione per me! Nel mio piccolo mondo dei video faccio tesoro delle tue parole 😊 Grazie Jacques 😘
appreciate your value mate. Could you make a video how you got your feed into travel spaces? I am also about to switch to travel commercials and documentaries
Mate, you are the best. Always so generous with your knowledge and also so supportive. Keep doing you, it’s amazing!
"Passion means you're willing to suffer for it"...This needs to be on a T-shirt!
Another timely video dropping when we need it the most!
Hehe, sounds great brother! Thanks so much for your support, I'm really happy you enjoyed the video :)
Definitely

learnt a lot from you !!! Working as a Singer Songwriter and Director At The Same Time ... Thankew Sir 🌞
i'm new to all of this, I recently bought a Sony A7III and a gimbal and this video has inspired me
Your timing is impeccable.
Moments from throwing in the towel and this video hits my feed.
Here’s to giving it one more red hot go.
Thankyou
