At the beginning of this year I was still in film school realizing very quickly that the path wasn't the right one for me. With support from my family, friends and of you amazing people, I dropped out and told myself I'm going to work as hard as I can to make creating videos a full time passion, even without a degree. Sitting here exactly one year later, I can say I never looked back and it's nuts to be able to say I'm so close to doing this full time. I was able to move out aswell which was a huge milestone for me. I want to continue to go on adventures, meet new people and tell stories for those whose stories are not always heard. I'm not taking my foot off the gas pedal. 2018, let's get it.
JR Alli Holy moly!!!! JR you are the best bro... loved this video to the moon and back. When are you heading down here to Dubai lad?? Keep up the good work and all the best for 2018 keep killing it!
hi man, i have video similiar like you. i hope you come to my Channel and watch my video or just leave a like or comment. i hope you comment my video. thanks
I normally don't write comments but this video just blew me away and I personally think it's even better than the overhyped KOLD 2016. This is my favourite movie of 2017 an 2018 so far! Keep up that amazong work!
this isn't just one of those regular my year videos with edm music, no sound design and a bunch of people flashing items and places they have been. This video told a story, of memories locked in time, from a year in which you experienced and felt as if i had actually been a part of what you were doing. The creative ideas and all of these transitions and effects was amazing Jr. This is truly, and I mean TRULY the best video I have ever seen in my LIFE! You are one of the only filmmakers I know who can create a mix of crazy visuals while staying true to his roots and creating a story both meaningful to the viewer and yourself. I can't wait to see what 2018 brings you! Best of luck Jr
wow, thank you so much James. especially for taking the time to write this, you dont know how much this means to me. my goal is always to make the person watching feel something, i want to hopefully keep pushing my boundaries this year but the goal will always be to tell a story and not just make videos for the sake of it. Thank you for appreciating that and supporting. cheers bro
This is so dope! I've seen a lot of awesome videos by great filmmakers but by far this is the only video that gave me goosebumps! I really love your work
No it is not exaclty Sam Kolder style, it's a mix between Leonardo Dalessandri, Sam Kolder etc, and a touch of is own style like sound design and the atmosphere !
Timeless Factory Nah, most filmmakers do the same thing like Sam, if you really want to see someone that doesn't copy Sam's style, look for Gibson Hazard and Rory Kramer
I spend far to much time watching these types of videos and this one left me feeling motivated. Incredible job my friend and by far the most original one i've seen.
my main goal is to make you feel something, and motivated to go out and create aswell is exaclty what i like to hear. thank you so much Seth, it means alot :)
Dude I remember at the beginning of 2017 when I first seen you on The Collective Iris UA-cam channel and thinking that this guy lives in the same city as me and he is doing something he loves and to see how far you have come is truly amazing. Thank you for the visuals Mr Alli. Keep moving forward to greatness. I just might meet you there.
this was soo creative loved it so much. it's crazy how things took off after you dropped out of college. very inspiring. keep killin it and inspiring ! excited to see what things you're gonna do this year
thank you so much Celina! crazy to see you find a niche of videos that work for you and still be able to develop your skills. i know with time in a few years you're gonna be a mastermind. thanks for being along for my journey on this platform too, cheers to success this year for both of us :)
I've been watching you for the last 2 years and is awesome to see a top creator from the beginning to the top. This is just the start line for a bright future!
Are you actually kidding me, not only is this the best travel video I have ever watched, but the story behind it is so impressive. This platform is made for people like you, please keep up the good work because I can't wait to see more of this!
Beautiful. A first 'my year' video of 2017 that I truly felt connected to, that gave me goosebumps. Those moments of travel that you so brilliantly portrayed. subtle effects, unique colors to every chapter of your year and that choice of music. Thank you, thank you for inspiring me JR alli! 🙌
wanted to definitely put my own spin on this and im so happy that i could do it my way, thanks for always supporting and commenting this year it means alot :)
I recently started following you man, I should say you changed and shared more light in videography for me than I have seen in years. Your works are unreal man. Not in this life time. I'm so pumped and again thanks for sharing these with us mate.
Wow what a sick video! Everything is on point. The transitions are just wow. Thank you for sharing. Got so inspired.. it’s time to get out again, to capture the new ideas and live life. Keep up the good work. Peace ✌️
*UNREAL.* The MUSIC, THE SOUNDS, THE TRANSITIONS, THE EFFECTS, THE COLOURS, THE SHOTS, EVERYTHING. *THIS IS A WORK OF GENUIS.* This is 10000000000 TIMES BETTER THEN SAM KOLDER'S MY YEAR. The talent here is just, just CRAZY. Edit: *This was actually so amazing, it didn't even need a story, you could just feel the story, you almost felt like you were there, awesome job dude, I wish I could do something like this one day (:
THE CREATIVITY... 👌 Most original my year video that I’ve seen so far. Loved what you did with the polaroids. Excited for what you will make in 2018!! 🔥
I don't know why but the video that made me reflect on my life the most was your trip to Iceland... I just want to say thank you, JR Alli you are truly an inspiration to me. muuch love form my side and keep up the ood work
You have mastered your way of making those videos. This one is really astonishing (especially at 1:50). You have your own very particular style and you're always improving it. I think that it's the dream of every filmmaker including me ! Keep making this great videos, you should have a bright future Sacha
I found your channel by voting for your Moment film contest submission and I'm just now getting around to watching your other videos. There are very few moments when a UA-camr brings tears to my eyes; in fact this is the first. JR, I just want to thank you in advance for all your dedication to this beautiful craft that is going to inspire me to infinite ends to keep pushing my own work every single day. As a full time traveler living out of his van, I sincerely hope our paths cross at some point in this incredible life. Cheers to every year we have left to live and love!
JR ALLI by far one of the most amazing videos I ever saw! You have an talent for editing and finding the perfect shot. If you keep going to have the same vision day in and day out and stay down to earth like you are I am pretty sure that you will achieve soon incredible things in life. Keep going brother. I support you and I'm very happy for you!
it's crazy to see how far you have grown this year, i remeber finding your channel about 2 years ago and already then I saw your potensial. Great job man, keep working hard!
You are a beast man!! I’m glad you dropped out to make this awesome content!! Your transitions are sooo dopeee, I aspire to one day being like you 💪🏼💪🏼
I love how you're not conforming to every other creator out there... you truly have your own unique style and it's awesome to see you stick to it even as the years pass. Keep on progressing man! You're extremely underrated. 2018 is your year!!!
at times i caught myself almost slipping into that cycle of doing things just cause i know it would be beneficial instead of fulfilling, but i dont want to things like that ever. its way more fun to push yourself and this platform of creators isnt gonna grow if we all make the same things. thank you so much man, hope i can continue to mold my style and push my limits this year, hope you have a wonderful 2018! :D
This was genuinely one of, if not the most incredible videos i have ever seen. I have never had such goosebumps from a video as this one. Your editing skills are just next level. Keep doing what youa re doing, you told an awesome story instead of just the usual video reel that people most people do for year videos....not knocking it just think this was next level. Love your videos and think you are gonna really blow up this year!
really wanted to try and make this personal, different and connected. really happy i could share those emotions and insanely happy with the love. Thank you so much Oliver. means alot. hopefully with hard work i can :D
I had my expectations SUPER high for this video and man, you blew me away x100! I can’t describe how much I enjoy your unique editing style, it is just so amazing... Having trouble finding actual words after watching it! Anyway I know this year is prob gonna be even better for you! I haven’t been around your channel more than couple of months but man, I aint leaving anytime soon I’ll tell you that. Keep on inspring and fulfilling your dream!
thank you so much Anton, that means alot and im glad it lived up your expectations, gonna try my best to make the best stuff i can this year, thanks for sticking around. :)
I’ve been watching video content for years now....this is hands down the best, most original and inspiring thing I’ve seen in a while . Amazing work mate!
i never feel goose-bumps since after my wedding day. this one gives me one bro... how did you do it? so passionate and full of love and memories. For me This is the Travel Video of the Year. So talented... Stay safe and creative... Live long bro :)
wowow to be up there with a moment like that, that just makes me so happy bro. thank you so much.i owe a huge part of it to my mom, she always encouraged me to be creative and never said no to trying new things or to doing stuff with filmmaking. for me, if my video can evoke some sort of emotion in someone, then i did my job, so hearing that my video did that for you, it makes it all worth it in the end. have a great new year man :)
i feel something man...something beautiful and excitement. the moment i click your video, hearing the first sound, its like i am in the video as well together with a bunch of talented people. This video is you. like what i've said before you are a quality-over-quantity content creator. Keep inspiring i am one of those you inspired in your talent... all love for you bro from the other continent of the earth. :)
I'm dropping everything to go travel until I run out of money and you have now inspired me to begin watching tutorials and learn about video editing so I can try and create something during my travels. Absolutely amazing i'm in awe at your work!
Your edit seeks his equals, I think at this time their is no one out their, who could be a better allrounder in cinematography, editing and actor ! Excited for this year with you
I’m literally at a loss for words. Like I want to say that was amazing but that just seems like so much of an understatement right now that it’s borderline insulting. This video was something truly legendary just wow!
You have raised the bar three notches higher mate, I thought I had the basics for editing video but this, this reminds me of how much I appreciate watching a perfectly well thought out and put together video, keep up the great work, for all of us big man
My mouth still hasn't closed while writing this comment. I am truly blown away by the talent I have just witnessed, you my friend are a artistic genius. This is extremely close if not on par with Sam Kolder's My Year 2016 - however the one department you beat him in is telling a story, this was truly captivating to the eye and mind. And lastly the vfx was out of this world, this must of taken hours and hours of careful masking, cutting, scoping etc, truly unreal on that part. This video did something to me personally aswell, it scared me. It made me think "how can I make it in this industry, there is no way I'm as good as him" But I sat and thought to myself, "I'm not as good... YET" I aspire to be as great as you but at the same time carve my own creative path just like you. Peace out brother
thank you so much bro, this means so much to me. I've learnt something really important over the last few years, its okay to look up to people or admire how far they've come but its great that this video pushes you to do the same or even reach bigger heights. I hate seeing people think they need to be better than others, the only person you should be racing against is yourself, trying to be better than you were the previous day. Keep creating and im so happy this video made you feel something. cheers to 2018 :)
By far my favorite video on UA-cam. I have watched this countless times and still come back almost once a day to rewatch it. Everything flows so perfectly, with the transitions, effects, music. Its beautiful and a work of art. I hope one day I can be able to make something as amazing as this. Keep it up! and can't wait to see you what you do in 2018!
You guy... So talented and a awesome inspiration for me! This video is so Amazing! Hope that one day i could do that... Such a incredible work. Story, rush, making... All is good! Thanks you Man! Just thank you!
SPEECHLESS. You continuously push the limit and shock us with your never-before-seen visuals, sound design and creativity. Thank you for inspiring all of us to tell better stories. You're going to the top JR!
May 2018 be the year where people will start saying "Hey that's a cool JR Alli edit you've made!" instead of referring to Sam Kolder all the time. Dude, this was amazing on so many levels, I can't remember watching anything like this before on UA-cam - except maybe all your other videos! Keep it up man, and the best of luck for 2018!
2017 looked like the most amazing year for you bro! The way you told the story with the Polaroid’s was so sick. Can’t wait to create some more memories with you this year 🙌🏼
I usually don’t comment on videos but I can’t help it this time. This was literally insane. I loved the idea behind this how you were taping each memory on the wall. Wow just brilliant. Your amazing
DUDE! lost for words, what an amazing video watched it a couple times now and I'm sure I'll come back to it regularly when I need some motivation. I feel like I am in a similar position being in school realizing that it's not for me. This year I want to start making films that I have a passion for, and see where it takes me. Thanks for inspiring me man, and keep it up. Maybe one day we can create something together, once I climb the ranks a little bit ;)
i love your attitude my dude, one things for certain if you work your butt off and keep grinding, if you are having the time of your life doing it, then the sky is your limit, nah fuck that you can go past that. Im just so happy my videos can inspire other passionate people and filmmakers to reach new limits because i was in the same situation as you were a few years ago. keep going man, dont give up and good luck this year. :)
you definitely deserve more subscribers, your videos are the definition of art, in all honesty I watch your videos everyday, and it inspired me to start filming with my dslr, and to have more patience with editing, and hopefully create content as good as yours, I've always had these ideas for creating films burning in the back of my mind but now watching you videos and seeing your lifestyle at the age of around 20, I'm about to turn 18 and you've inspired me to start saving for travelling, I hope 2018 is huge year of growth for you, your videos are insane.
I wonder how long it takes to edit a Video like this. This is mind-blowing, a true masterpiece. I just discovered this channel.... so underrated. Subbed!
Came from Chris Hau's video and he was right. You create amazing content and you're so underrated. Your videos and what you said inspire me to go on adventures more and continue to make videos. Keep up the work and never stop doing what you do
thank you so much, foreal i've tried really hard this year to try and bring something new to the table, im so glad you enjoyed this. cheers to this new year!
At the beginning of this year I was still in film school realizing very quickly that the path wasn't the right one for me. With support from my family, friends and of you amazing people, I dropped out and told myself I'm going to work as hard as I can to make creating videos a full time passion, even without a degree.

I'm not taking my foot off the gas pedal. 2018, let's get it.
I wish you a creative and insane 2018 bro!
JR Alli Goodluck in 2018 dude, can't wait to see what you create in this new year!
JR Alli all the best for 2018 . Love your confidence .
JR Alli Holy moly!!!! JR you are the best bro... loved this video to the moon and back. When are you heading down here to Dubai lad?? Keep up the good work and all the best for 2018 keep killing it!

*This Guy is living in 3018 damn what a edit skills!* 👏🏽
"Turning real life into movies" my new favorite quote 🎥

Langscapes true.
Langscapes 💪🏼

@James Lanziao poetic

I love both of them
Fuck you man why you compare
I normally don't write comments but this video just blew me away and I personally think it's even better than the overhyped KOLD 2016. This is my favourite movie of 2017 an 2018 so far! Keep up that amazong work!
totally agree
WHAT DID WE JUST WATCH!? This is seriously a masterpiece man! The editing is out of this world!
thank you so much, really means alot :)
this isn't just one of those regular my year videos with edm music, no sound design and a bunch of people flashing items and places they have been. This video told a story, of memories locked in time, from a year in which you experienced and felt as if i had actually been a part of what you were doing. The creative ideas and all of these transitions and effects was amazing Jr. This is truly, and I mean TRULY the best video I have ever seen in my LIFE! You are one of the only filmmakers I know who can create a mix of crazy visuals while staying true to his roots and creating a story both meaningful to the viewer and yourself. I can't wait to see what 2018 brings you! Best of luck Jr
wow, thank you so much James. especially for taking the time to write this, you dont know how much this means to me. my goal is always to make the person watching feel something, i want to hopefully keep pushing my boundaries this year but the goal will always be to tell a story and not just make videos for the sake of it. Thank you for appreciating that and supporting. cheers bro
JR Alli for the endless amount of hours you spent making this, it's nothing to take 10 minutes to write a nice comment. :)
This is so dope! I've seen a lot of awesome videos by great filmmakers but by far this is the only video that gave me goosebumps! I really love your work
seeing you from the beginning of your channel to know is amazing, keep it going your work is always amazing : )
This is crazy good, 2017 was the year of the birth of amazing filmmakers. JR you killed it with this video.
So true! I also started my journey this year. Good luck and best wishes to you all!
definitely, so happy to see im not alone in my pursue of my passion, excited to see everyone push the limits this year, thank you!
I don't understand... Which people can dislike this breathtaking work ...
Keep working man, you've for your own style and ... It's amazing !
Timeless Factory Its Sam Kolder style. You can edit such videos on Final Cut pro
Not his style tho
sam kolder's style*
No it is not exaclty Sam Kolder style, it's a mix between Leonardo Dalessandri, Sam Kolder etc, and a touch of is own style like sound design and the atmosphere !
Timeless Factory Nah, most filmmakers do the same thing like Sam, if you really want to see someone that doesn't copy Sam's style, look for Gibson Hazard and Rory Kramer
I spend far to much time watching these types of videos and this one left me feeling motivated. Incredible job my friend and by far the most original one i've seen.
my main goal is to make you feel something, and motivated to go out and create aswell is exaclty what i like to hear. thank you so much Seth, it means alot :)
I'm back watching it again. Seriously by far my favorite video I have ever seen on youtube. I cannot applaud this enough!
Wow. Watching videos like yours shows me that there are still creators that move people. From the beginning you have been moving people Thank you.
Dude I remember at the beginning of 2017 when I first seen you on The Collective Iris UA-cam channel and thinking that this guy lives in the same city as me and he is doing something he loves and to see how far you have come is truly amazing. Thank you for the visuals Mr Alli. Keep moving forward to greatness. I just might meet you there.

The sound design is what just elevates above anything I've ever seen
spent some extra time on the sound, really wanted to immerse the person watching, so glad all those details helped! :)
Beautiful. A first 'my year' video of 2017 that I truly felt connected to, that gave me goosebumps. Those moments of travel that you so brilliantly portrayed. subtle effects, unique colors to every chapter of your year and that choice of music. Thank you, thank you for inspiring me JR alli! 🙌

I follow a lot of people for their amazing work, and you're the best among them.
wow, that means alot thank you. :)
I’m literally at a loss for words. Like I want to say that was amazing but that just seems like so much of an understatement right now that it’s borderline insulting. This video was something truly legendary just wow!
and one of the best comments ive ever read goes too... wow honestly thank you so much. im sitting here so happy right now reading this haha
Mannnn this is pure magic! Those colors are A-mazing! Can't wait for your next videos
thank you so much dude. Always appreciate the comments and support, cheers :)
You have raised the bar three notches higher mate, I thought I had the basics for editing video but this, this reminds me of how much I appreciate watching a perfectly well thought out and put together video, keep up the great work, for all of us big man
This is the first video ive seen of yours. Im blown away
I respect this guy🥊as he is getting better every time with his filmmaking skills and post production😃
thank you so much bro, happy to be able to improve and develop over time last year, hope to push myself this year even more! :)
My mouth still hasn't closed while writing this comment. I am truly blown away by the talent I have just witnessed, you my friend are a artistic genius. This is extremely close if not on par with Sam Kolder's My Year 2016 - however the one department you beat him in is telling a story, this was truly captivating to the eye and mind. And lastly the vfx was out of this world, this must of taken hours and hours of careful masking, cutting, scoping etc, truly unreal on that part.
This video did something to me personally aswell, it scared me. It made me think "how can I make it in this industry, there is no way I'm as good as him" But I sat and thought to myself, "I'm not as good... YET" I aspire to be as great as you but at the same time carve my own creative path just like you.
Peace out brother
thank you so much bro, this means so much to me. I've learnt something really important over the last few years, its okay to look up to people or admire how far they've come but its great that this video pushes you to do the same or even reach bigger heights. I hate seeing people think they need to be better than others, the only person you should be racing against is yourself, trying to be better than you were the previous day. Keep creating and im so happy this video made you feel something. cheers to 2018 :)
couldn't agree more dude! keep it up
Digging your work! Eventually we will get there!
This is something unreal cool! You inspire me very much
Your videos fricken give my chills. This is the 10th time I’ve watched it and still does. Truly inspiring. Keep up the great work.
By far my favorite video on UA-cam. I have watched this countless times and still come back almost once a day to rewatch it. Everything flows so perfectly, with the transitions, effects, music. Its beautiful and a work of art. I hope one day I can be able to make something as amazing as this. Keep it up! and can't wait to see you what you do in 2018!
Dude this is amazing, hands down best “my year” I’ve seen
You guy... So talented and a awesome inspiration for me! This video is so Amazing! Hope that one day i could do that... Such a incredible work. Story, rush, making... All is good! Thanks you Man! Just thank you!
Insane!
OOOOHHHH!!!!
T3C™ yeah 😍

SPEECHLESS. You continuously push the limit and shock us with your never-before-seen visuals, sound design and creativity. Thank you for inspiring all of us to tell better stories. You're going to the top JR!
Honestly man, the best of the 2017 videos i've seen this is just on another level! Very much respect
May 2018 be the year where people will start saying "Hey that's a cool JR Alli edit you've made!" instead of referring to Sam Kolder all the time. Dude, this was amazing on so many levels, I can't remember watching anything like this before on UA-cam - except maybe all your other videos! Keep it up man, and the best of luck for 2018!
2017 looked like the most amazing year for you bro! The way you told the story with the Polaroid’s was so sick. Can’t wait to create some more memories with you this year 🙌🏼
ayyo thanks again Ilan, thanks for also being apart of this incredible last year. cheers to hopefully even crazier ones this year! :D
Now that was amazing! honestly hands down one of the best videos I’ve seen on UA-cam to this day keep it up lad!🔥💪🏼
wow, honored you think that bro, thank you so much Harry. more to come! :)
sub for a sub?
I usually don’t comment on videos but I can’t help it this time. This was literally insane. I loved the idea behind this how you were taping each memory on the wall. Wow just brilliant. Your amazing
Omg!! How is he this good at filming... Really underrated... Many people deserve to see this... Damn divine to me... Loving it
This is my absolute favorite video, I am so inspired by how you make your videos
Okay. How many coolers does your computer have to handle all these Effects and doesn't overload?
_Take it as a compliment._
hahahaha legit my pc was sounding like a race car while rendering, it was intense lmao
DUDE! lost for words, what an amazing video watched it a couple times now and I'm sure I'll come back to it regularly when I need some motivation. I feel like I am in a similar position being in school realizing that it's not for me. This year I want to start making films that I have a passion for, and see where it takes me. Thanks for inspiring me man, and keep it up. Maybe one day we can create something together, once I climb the ranks a little bit ;)
i love your attitude my dude, one things for certain if you work your butt off and keep grinding, if you are having the time of your life doing it, then the sky is your limit, nah fuck that you can go past that. Im just so happy my videos can inspire other passionate people and filmmakers to reach new limits because i was in the same situation as you were a few years ago. keep going man, dont give up and good luck this year. :)
thanks so much man! you seem like such a genuine guy and I love that. Excited to see what we both can accomplish this year!
thanks so much man! you seem like such a genuine guy and I love that. Excited to see what we both can accomplish this year!
I’m in complete awe man ❤️
I can honestly say this has been the most visually pleasing video I have ever seen and I will work on my craft to get to your level.!
I can't wait till you have a verified checkmark next to your name. I know you gonna hit 100k it this year. Keep it up😁👊🏽
thats such a huge milestone and would be amazing to. thanks for all the love this year Chris, cheers to 2018
this is the best video i have ever watched period
I can't wait for the 2018 video
you definitely deserve more subscribers, your videos are the definition of art, in all honesty I watch your videos everyday, and it inspired me to start filming with my dslr, and to have more patience with editing, and hopefully create content as good as yours, I've always had these ideas for creating films burning in the back of my mind but now watching you videos and seeing your lifestyle at the age of around 20, I'm about to turn 18 and you've inspired me to start saving for travelling, I hope 2018 is huge year of growth for you, your videos are insane.
Sam Kolder low key taking notes.. Absolutely amazing story, message, filming, editing, everything!
You should be called "The God of Editing."
I wonder how long it takes to edit a Video like this. This is mind-blowing, a true masterpiece. I just discovered this channel.... so underrated. Subbed!
this took around 3 weeks to make! thank you so much :)
Damn 3 weeks.....keep up the good work
JR Alli 3 weeks for how many hours in a day?
you are a freaking god Alli! 😍
Came from Chris Hau's video and he was right. You create amazing content and you're so underrated. Your videos and what you said inspire me to go on adventures more and continue to make videos. Keep up the work and never stop doing what you do
Dude you slayed this! Can’t wait to see what you produce this year
Thank you Andy :) likewise dude, wish you nothing but success this year!
Nice dude !

Oh, My, God. You know how much I would rate this already. You blew it man, outstanding!
Literally found my role model right there
wtf this is insane, keep it up
I want you to search "Edit like JR Alli" right now. Can't find anything?. Simple, because *you can't* .
INSANE VIDEO.
