    What makes the film so unbelievably great is it's succinctness. There is an art to not only making every shot count but making it so every shot progresses the film. This film is a beautiful combination of breathtaking cinematography and great concise storytelling which come together to create a film that is so easy to watch and understand. The minimalism does really translate into filmmaking and it's inspiring and something I aspire to in my own creativity and filmmaking. Thank you Kraig.

    This video hit me especially hard. From the moment it started it felt like something you haven't done before. It felt more open to you as a person.
    Earlier this year my girlfriend and I broke up and I moved back to Florida to start my nomad (van) life. I then lost my remote job months later. Now, I'm out to build something for myself all the while discovering how to be more authentically me.
    Keep up the amazing work Kraig. You really know how to both tell and share a story beautifully.

    Damn, this is on an entirely different level. Being a nomad is doing exactly what you hoped for your films, your mind feels far sharper here than the ones you’ve made before. Keep up the amazing work man!

    FINALLY took the chance to watch this on the size of screen it deserves. These type of films have always been my personal favorites of yours, Kraig. Appreciate the emotion and humor you balance with pure cinematic goodness. Looking forward to how we can all support you in this newest chapter.

    I greatly appreciate the videos you do with your brother. It helps my strive to restore my relationship with my younger brother, especially now that he lives 3000 miles away.

    This video really speaks to me on a lot of levels. I'm currently trying to figure out how to be my best self and get back to being creative. Becoming more present and dealing with life's punches is something I've been trying to do for years...it's not easy, but I'm getting there one step at a time. I love how authentic you are in showing that you are struggling with this big life decision and how you are conquering it. I'm excited to see where you go next! Your content is really inspiring to me and I'm glad that I'm supporting you on Patreon!

  • @SamLucas26
    @SamLucas26 6 років тому +8

    Been enjoying this content lately man. It’s super real.
    There’s a realness that you just kind of assume isn’t there when you’re watching a lot of UA-cam videos, not because the creators aren’t authentic but it’s just the nature of creating on a social platform. Even the lack of context in a persons life beyond what you’ve seen leaves a gap.
    I think you bridge that gap REALLY well and you do it with minimal words. You’re a great visual storyteller

  • @HEYitsTRAV
    @HEYitsTRAV 6 років тому

    This was an incredible film, Kraig! Not only from a cinematic visual standpoint, but by letting people into a vulnerable point for you. Life has many challenges and changes, and like you said, it is important to find the positive in every situation. I look forward to seeing where this new journey takes you. You’re going to do amazing things.

    Everyone one of these just gets better and better. Your ability to blend the story with the VLOG-style moments and pull it all together in such a perfect edit is so great. No shot feels gratuitous. Killing it

  • @carlobortoli

    @guilal149 6 років тому +1

    Your films always bring a unique feeling inside of me. Thank you Kraig. Also thank you for sharing the parts were you felt down. I think it's important to share that sometimes because it helps others to understand that life can be tough sometimes.

  • @JonathanFlores714
    @JonathanFlores714 6 років тому

    Kraig this is SO relevant right now! Ive been watching a lot of travel, hiking and nature stuff lately but what you said resonates so much with me right now during this pandemic. When its bad it won't always be bad. There's some good left in this world Mr, Frodo!

    So many doggos! This was such an emotional film, Kraig. I love this new direction you've taken in your life and your filmmaking. While I may not understand all of your decisions, I shouldn't judge or make assumptions about them since it's none of my business. I wish you all the best in your adventures to come, and I can't wait for your next film!

    This film felt different but at the same time it was still very much "you" and your style. I loved the feeling of simplicity it gave me - you spending quality time with your brother, hiking, and enjoying nature. Also really appreciated the openness and vulnerability you showed when you shared your thoughts in the car. I hope you achieve the level of mindfulness you're yearning for :) Keep it up Kraig, I've loved your content for quite a while now!

    Wow wow wow ! You’ve broken the game man ! This is dope, there is so much high level in this video, the way you’re giving the emotion of the trip, the musics are great you made very good choices and we all know how it can be difficult to find the right sound for an edit. The drone shots are amazing ! I also have the Mavic Pro2 but not an hardware and camera powerful enough yet to handle the 4k, can’t wait to be able to shoot this kind of footage.
    Kraig, congrats for this work, it motivates me so much to keep it up and improve.

    Wow Kraig, i am a fairly new subscriber, first the Wedding Film School channel (I want to start filming weddings) and than just started watching the video’s, specially the behind the scenes are very informative for me, then I found out that you said goodby to the whole wedding scene and wanted to evolve in to something new, something special for you and your life. So subscribed to you channel, and felt like I was joining this adventure. I see you growing in life, see the decision making and now a life changing one. I think i am correct that you and India are parted ways (if i understand the intro correct) it must be hard, but only time will tell what will come out of it. Love the style of filmmaking and only i can dream that i ever will be capable to make this nice content to share with people. If you ever (again) will be in the Netherlands and you need a place to crash, you are welcome, you have to deal with my wife and my daughter, but have a nice room available on a different floor. Love to see what will be next in your adventure, wish you all the best! Keep living life to the fullest!
