I know this was a sponsored video, but if it was also a passion project, probably one of the best passion projects I have watched, maybe ever! Every shot was carefully thought out, it was simple, no need for all these stupid stock transitions, it actually told a story in a narrative based montage, not much to complain about! 🙌🔥
Thanks Nathan, that really means a lot to me, we definitely put in a lot of planning! Just a little shoutout to Nanlite... in essence this is still a passion project. Although it's fully sponsored by them they always allow me to create projects I WANT without interfering in my creative decisions. This was our concept and they approved it without waver. All they want is a killer video with a decent BTS to explain how I used their gear. They've been an amazing support over the years and I love them for it!
It's beautiful. I'm just very confused why so many people make the mistake of burning in black bars. The video should be exported in the intended aspect ratio, not 16x9 at all costs.
@Luka The Satanic Gamecat its most likely because UA-cam doesn't let you add end cards to non-mainstream aspect ratios, and then you just crop the video afterwards out of force of habit even if you're not adding an end card
@@NathanVMountain I don't know what an "end card on a UA-cam video" is... :) But whatever it is, it's not more important than making your video look ridiculous on any screen with other than a 16x9 aspect ratio.
This is absolutely crazy, cinematography, sound design, color, light, the story, every single bit of it is beautiful ! I can totally imagine this screened in an IMAX cinema :) Please don't stop making amazing videos like that, on top of it you manage to make super useful BTS we're never bored !
This cinematic short film is absolutely incredible! The visuals and storytelling had me captivated from start to finish. Your talent for creating powerful and emotional stories through film is truly impressive. Thank you Jac for sharing your amazing work with us. Can't wait for your next project!
Absolutely insane production! It is amazing how much talent, work, and planning is put into this masterpiece! Form the idea and story till the execution of camera movement, lights and moods... This simply can be called perfection!
Thank you Philipp, that's a massive compliment. We put a lot of planning into this and I couldn't have done it without an amazing team! So grateful for your support
I've always watching your videos, thankyou for making my dream into reality just by watching your upload videos. I don't even have camera but i like to capture things but it only in my memories.
This is so epic! The story, the shots and sound design to compliment it all. Always so inspired by your work Jacques. So much so, that I rewatch a lot of your content.
Your colour work with Sony cameras is simply ASTONISHING. I cannot tell you (as a professional DoP) how envious I am that you can pull that look from that camera, Bravo Sir.
Fantastic video. I honestly loved those propeller shots at the start. I loved how simple this video was and you could tell every shot was planned out. Great work!!
Yo, Tyler, thanks for the kind words and support dude. Really appreciate that. Glad you liked the simplicity. You're right, lots of hard work and planning went into every shot! 🙏🏼
I absolutely love this production ❤. As a student, studying in Film: 🎥 Research and Production at The University of Birmingham, UK, this short film inspires me. I love the creativity, but it also motivates me to follow my passion in life which is filmmaking. I would love to be a Producer. Furthermore this appeals to me as I can understand the story behind this film. As a student with dyslexia as well as physical health and mental health problems, I feel so motivated by this film; it's purpose in showcasing that in life, there isn't always an easy shortcut to success. We need to put in the hard work time and effort to succeed in achieve our dreams. I can genuinely relate to the morals and message of this film ❤
I keep coming back to this film Jacques! Such a stunning piece; a real inspiration that I myself want to achieve one day. Perseverance is exactly the word!
I like the way that the scene at 2:36 seems to be a mirrored version of the one at 00:56, where the actor is walking in the same direction. The difference is that now we're seeing the shot from behind the actor! Everything for that golden hour shot! LOVE YOUR WORK BROTHER!
You get an instant sub from me. I'm a paraplegic and working to get my pilots license right now. I want to create a film about it and this is great inspiration. It gives me something to strive for. Awesome work!
Wow. I feel inspired! This is so sick in so many ways! From the lighting, locations, color grade, pace, voiceover, the storytelling… How you tied the boxing scenes in with the story was powerful. Loved it.🔥👏
Thanks man, it was good to have a voice over for a change! I love that the voice is that of the actor and the story is really based on his life so it makes it authentic in many ways.
You are a master of visuals! I love how every camera movement was purposefully intentional and really moved the story forward. Congrats to you and the production team. Bravo.
I’ve been debating heavy on buying a fx3 man and this is truly amazing work!!! I’ve shot cinematography a couple times with my vlogs using the A7III and the pocket 3 but this is crazy

Thanks brother, so stoked to have you on board!!! I'm grateful for all the effort you put into making this a reality!
Epic Cinematic would underrate this video. Totally the best, from the scripting with the story telling, to the sounds and depth of feels.
Beautiful piece. The world doesn’t put anything in front of you that you can’t handle.
Thank you Jarrod, my hope is that more people will feel inspired to fight their way through to something better!
