[@WesleyWestMusic]

I've come back to this film so many times.

[@themusicbed]

Sometimes all you need is that source of inspiration 🤘

[@Prodiod]

This film spoke to me in ways that I could not describe. The narration, the message, the style, the color grade, the scenery, the slow motion, the idea of creation. I love it. EXCELLENT job!

[@MyKiffLife]

As a creative, this video spoke some serious truth: "Creativity is for others, its not for yourself, its to serve others"

[@themusicbed]

Exactly! Thanks for watching, Marc.

[@taunado]

It was quite a trip going from an interview of Salomon from 7 years ago to this . I assumed he moved to Down under judging by the Aussie twang :P Salomon I’m so grateful to discover your work . Thank you

[@wonton02]

Thanks for teaching another generation about your journey. May all your dreams come true. Cheers!

[@TripleGTrinity]

Beautiful, almost had me in tears. Thank you for this treasure.

[@SplashFilms11]

How can someone dislike this? Amazing job.

[@AzeemMustafa]

I've been a filmmaker for about five years now, and I'm roughly a month away from becoming a dad. This spoke to me on such a deep level. Absolutely poetic, art is for others.

[@owenlawes]

I loved every second of that! Absolutely beautiful visuals, music and story!

[@wolfstar675]

This gave me an "Upstream Color" kind of vibe. Loved it.

[@NeilRaouf]

so good to know that i am not the only one...really moves me a lot - even if it's just a trailer...got to watch it at some point. at some point where i really have enough attention and time to suck it in...best wishes from switzerland, neil

[@walkingwithjerry]

Nice video. it was the suggestion of the week on film riot. so i had to check it out. i really enjoyed the shots but the story is what really hit me. I am just starting out and can't even call myself an artist yet. this was like looking into the mind of an artist. lots of stuff to thank about. Thanks

[@austinsmithcomposer]

This is beautiful! So inspiring and genuine. I love it!

[@TBUdesign]

[@inktivate]

Wow. That was inspiring. An impeccable presentation of your experiences and purpose. I feel like I took something from that. (Proof that you're serving _others_ through creativity now!)

[@RhysWarrenFilmMaker]

Amazing! Visually captivating and a voice that motivates.

[@ZMAMShow]

You did such a wonderful job shooting this. In my eyes, you could have just used the video itself and the message would have been received. The music and mood so very touching. Well done!

[@iDaanOnline]

With what kind of camera and lenses did you guys shoot. This is an astonishing video!

[@themusicbed]

Thanks so much! We shot this on the Canon C500 with a mix of Zeiss and Canon L Series Lenses.

[@fifteenminute]

just one question...was this all shot with natural available light? Great work by the way!!

[@TheRamseybros]

I'd like to know that as well!

[@BlvckPapa]

judging from the behind the sense photos id say thats its all natural light

[@themusicbed]

Hey guys - thanks so much! It was indeed just natural light :)

[@filiprzepka7033]
