I am a retired documentary television producer, who won three Emmies and was nominated for an Academy Award. I say this to give a little authority to my observation about Isabel and her work. I had watched some of her videos and wondered how she was pulling this off, because the shots were so professional and the overall conceptualization was so good. What was really astonishing was that it looked as if most of this was done by herself. So now I know. As in a lot of art, her astonishing get-up-at-four-in-the-morning work ethic as well as her careful planning and pre-conceptualization really pays off, yet she is still purged with doubt, as you point out, something common in the arts, especially in the young. I wish that you would pass my congratulations on to her at the very high quality of her work, and the overall artfulness of it all.
FINALLY!! An interview with Isabel Paige diving into her spectacular shots, editing, work ethic and passion for film. Isabel needs more credit for what she does. The way she transports the viewer into this reality of off-grid living and allowing them to experience nature in a beautiful way without even being there?! My absolute favorite creator on UA-cam. She needs to be nominated for best film!
I am seeing something in Isabella that I have never realized, she is super super intelligent and amazingly modest,I will view her work with a new appreciation from now on.
I'm so happy someone has shined a light on this side of Isabel. Thoughtful and intentional with her work and willing to go to great lengths to create it. Yep, she's a badass.
Waking up at 3 in the morning to hike a mountain...braving so many natural elements for her work and then also braving the world’s judgement in the pursuit of creativity….badass is the perfect adjective for Isabelle!
So happy to see this comment! Really resonates with my thoughts of Isabel’s work and ethic! I hope Logan reads all the good wonderful comments to her, so she knows just how much joy her work brings to others! The interviewer has gained a subscriber! Absolutely LOVE how you did this interview, the questions you asked, the scenes you chose to have explained, and the compliments Isabel so deserves! Bravo to you as well!
SO GLAD THIS VIDEO EXISTS. I sometimes see negative comments on Isabel's channel from people who don't get that she's a cinematographer. Once you understand that she's a cinematographer and that it's her hobby, there is really no negative opinion left to be had. She's not "lying" about her life or trying to "trick people" into believing that her life is a fairy tale. She's a cinematographer making art by using her life as the canvas. That's it. Pretty simple stuff. I also once saw a multi-video takedown where some girl was ranting and complaining about how Isabel "lies" about everything in her life and it's like... did you have fun wasting your time on that? I think you lack media literacy if you watch her videos and fail to understand that she's meticulously setting up her shots with an incredible amount of work ethic, planning, and knowledge. She's brilliant.
The chick who ranted on her video wasn't talking about her cinematography but her actual life she's saying she has. The lies supposedly where she lives, money she makes, etc. Think that's a bit different.
The otherside is, her work is artifical and staged, same as the girl posing 2 hours for the perfect shot at the beach in dubai to show someting that does not exist. Isabel is the mountain living version of this artifical nonsense
Most of her subscribers would not want to see how contrived her channel is. Her comments are filled with adulation over how wholesome and authentic she is. I feel like her amazing talent is in many ways being wasted by the heavily constrained self brand she has enclosed herself in.
@@凯思 I totally get what your saying. For me personally, I always felt like there was something disingenuous and "off" about her that I couldn't put my finger on. After watching this video, it helped me realize that her videos are kind of a character of herself; a carefully-crafted, idealized version of herself. It helped me appreciate her videos more now that I focus on the beauty of them and less on authenticity.
@@sweetness371 totally agree. I think she has two sets of viewers, the ones that think she is authentic and the ones like me that found her way too cosplay contrived, though appreciate the calm cinematic vibe. This, for me, makes me respect her more in that I now know how much work goes into taking it from her vision to her finished product and I appreciate that she admits that it's not authentic but is still beautiful.
@@upstatevanlifer6918 I wouldn't say its her gig. You can tell how painfully shy and critical she is here. The interviewer is very gentle. It takes that critic to make great work, but it also leads to self-disparaging ruts.
@@AlexFreeman-h3g I disagree. A lot of them are, but it's not something that has to be the case at all. It's just seemingly not common to treat your artist self with peace and grace. But it is definitely possible.
Have previously passed judgement on her channel and content from the confusing combination of creating a contrived fake fantasy life vs becoming entranced with the beautiful shots and the moments of vulnerable authenticity. Seeing her explain her process reinforces that yes, this is a production, it's not necessarily "real" life, but it's exercising her creative passion. Her commitment to her art and the incredible work ethic that goes into it is inspiring. Thanks for sharing Isabel (and Jack).
I also previously passed judgement on how falsely she was portraying her life, especially knowing that 20 feet away from her "off grid cabin" was an on-the-grid house with laundry, electricity, running water, etc. I think younger Isabel definitely contrived and hid the lie, but has since become more transparent while also being a powerhouse artist. It's much more authentic now than it used to be, and the creativity shines through.
I’m so speechless. Finally a window into Isabelle’s genius creativity. Even those of us following her for years haven’t truly understood the extent of her work ethic. She won’t see our comments, like she said, but I hope she knows deep down how inspirational she is. We couldn’t be more proud of her and her humility surrounding her work. THANK YOU JACK for shining a beautiful light on her life’s work and setting up an opportunity for her to shine :) And thank you Isabelle for being so honest and open about your creative process 🫶 She is going to inspire generations of film makers.
I happen to look at the comment section last week, and she responded to some. First time seeing it. She even asked a commenter to email her so she could send some extra cans of something she made that week. Really something! (The reason Isabel wanted to send this commenter some cans (of soup?) was becasue that's what her mother used to make when she was young when her mom was alive)
Cinematographer??? Ahhh, I would call her more of a "cinemagician". Her creations are absolutely MAGIC. Everything she does is beautiful, the scenery, the weather, her clothes, and the centerpiece is herself. Beautiful lady. Beautiful work.
She has literally the best looking videos on UA-cam right now and it makes me sad she doesn't feel enough. I wish she could validate herself for what a masterpiece she creates and give herself a break time to time. She's a real artist. 💚
Isabel is just a fae creature with a camera honestly. She just seems magical in everything she does. Her videos take me a way for a bit and place in that moment, which lately has been such a necessary thing. She's phenomenal.
This interview is finally a true accounting of the channel and her work. It's the most honest she's been about the reality that these are meticulously (beautifully, wonderfully) planned stories, and not slices of life she just happened to capture. So many of her viewers are under the illusion that this is her real life, and the camera just 'happens' to be there, or that she is just spontaneously dancing through flower fields with perfect composition. What's sad is that she is an outrageously talented cinematographer, yet so many of her viewers bemoan the 'ordinariness' of their lives in comparison. I'm baffled that anyone can think this is a documentary of spontaneous moments, but so many people do. I hope more of them see this video and come away with a better appreciation for her talent, and a better appreciation for their own lives instead of comparing them to 'a larger than life fairytale.'
These are real life stories. And she is using her feelings to generate a story every week based on real life. She uses her skills as a cinematographer as a medium to communicate. Sure she dramatizes the story. Who wouln'dt when telling a story people are willing to watch. Like any author would. Doesn't make it "not her real life".
@@danherrick5785 The final product, the actual video itself, is not a real life story. It's a beautiful, compelling, wonderfully filmed composite sketch of a collection of experiences that might sometimes be based on 'real life' , but are also interpretations, created/curated images, and meticulously planned and rehearsed scenes that capture certain ideas. It's not a documentary, it's not off the cuff, and the final product, the video itself, which is what I was speaking to, is certainly not her real life. I don't know how to say it more clearly.
I just can't believe that someone could leave a negative comment in any of Isabel's videos. She has a balance between fantasy and the reality of rural life that even if she visually romantizice it, she is always honest about the reality of living a parcially lonely life in the mountains. That's why we love her, she is not trying to sell us her lifestyle as the ONE. She is just honest and tells her story in the most beautiful way.
As someone who’s watched her from the start- I’ve never heard her actually discuss the reality vs fantasy. And the beginning of her channel was completely authentic, building the tiny house in overalls. So myself and many others were confused by the pivot to highly curated content- nothing wrong with it, but she wouldve benefitted from explaining that I think. Good on her anyway, shes very talented!
I absolutely agree, but i think its mostly people that either dont have a life, are jealous...or both.. i can't find any reason to ever leave a bad comment on her Videos because she is fu**in brilliant! ❤ all the people that do, simply have no respect for the amount of work she puts into every Video, no appreciation for the beauty that she brings to So many people ..and no love for how she changes peoples lives for the better. Ive been watching her channel for years, and literally every Video has made an amazing impact on my life so far. So for all the haters... they should seriously get a life or just szop watching people that they are envious of...
@@jasmine-amelias The shift was plainly obvious to anyone who was a viewer from the early days, and it feels gross. Because she's still pretending its reality. The authentic nature of her videos was great in the beginning but the new content is soulless and empty.
Really loved this! Down-to-earth authentic creators talking about real artistry. Isabel is a true storyteller and artist. Oh, and yes, Photo Pills is an amazing tool to plan shots! I use it all the time!
Isabel is such a beautiful soul. I have cherished her and her content ever since I first encountered her here on UA-cam. She is such a creative treasure, and we are all so blessed to have her here on this planet with us at this poignant time. If ever I met her, I would just love to give her the biggest hug, and tell her how utterly awesome she is just her being herself. ❤️👍❤️
Thank you! Now I finally understand what her videos are. I was always a bit confused as to how you were supposed to view them. As a vlog or a production. Now I can fully enjoy her beautiful shots and dive into the story without wondering what I am watching. ❤
People’s perceptions aside, there’s absolutely no doubt how creatively talented Isabel is and how deep her commitment is to anything she puts her mind to. It seems like she can create or learn to create basically anything at all. Even when it comes to her home projects. She’s like 100% DIY and it’s truly inspiring
Her commitment to her craft is insane. It breaks my heart to hear the way she speaks about herself. Knowing what she does to get these shoots, adds magic to the filming, instead of removing it.
Isabel does such beautiful, well-crafted work! It was amazing hearing her talk a bit about her process and her inspiration! Thank you for having her as a guest!
Isabel is a fantastic artist and creative. The new story project she's been creating has felt like an accumulation of her years of study and passion. It's inspiring to live the creative lifestyle in every little pocket you encounter in daily life ♡
thank you for having her here! I honestly just have been wondering how she takes such beautiful shots, especially, the shots where she would hike up a mountain and film at the same time from such wild angles hahaha
I discovered Isabel's channel during the pandemic in 2020 and I was always mind-blown that she didn't get recognition for her cinematography and storytelling. I'm happy now that people are acknowledging her talent!
Isabel is amazing; I so love and appreciate her magical videos! It's very interesting to hear about her techniques behind what seems so effortless and ethereal. I have to compliment her beautiful writing and editing. In this crazy world, Isabel remains one of my all time favorites 🥰
This is the difference between content creators and creative content creators!!! She works sooooo hard and I want her to know how much I greatly appreciate her work ...true creative genius very few of these on youtube....Thanks for the interview❤
She's a true artist. She makes everything look so natural and effortless it's already impressive to watch, even more impressive to hear how she captures her shots.
I adore Isabel. Her storytelling and videography is such poetic beauty. Her talents, wisdom, earthiness, and wholesome are so endearing. And the closeness she shares with her family all keep me coming back ❤ Thank you for this interview. ❤
This was amazing! Please have her back on again sometime. She is one of the most fascinating persons I’ve ever come across. Like there is literally nothing that she can’t do what she puts her mind to it. She is an incredible woman!
Isabel is such an incredibly talented and creative cinematographer. Her storytelling and style is so unique. Seriously, if you aren’t watching her content you are missing out!
Isabel is not just a "UA-camr" she is a visual artist in every way. Props to her for such hard work and excellent content. I give like 10% of that effort in my videos and it just barely scratches the surface of what is possible with visual story telling. So many people probably see her videos and are enraptured in the beauty and idealism of a seemingly perfect life. But what they don't see or don't think about is the many many hours she puts into staging shots, perfecting lighting, editing, outfits/wardrobe, cleaning up etc. It's hard work to create this level of cinematic beauty.
Isabel mérite d'être connue et reconnue pour son travail, au-delà de ses choix de vie qui nous passionnent, elle a sa propre patte, une palette de couleurs et d'émotions qui font de ses vidéos de petits chefs-d'oeuvre.
I’ve been watching Isabel’s videos for years and this gives me a new appreciation for her work. I wish she wouldn’t be so hard on herself, she’s far and away my favorite UA-camr and her videos are absolutely stunning. The quality is unlike anything else I’ve ever seen
I need more of this! I could listen to Isabel describe her process for many days in a row and not get bored - and you ask such engaging, compelling questions to direct the conversation ❤❤❤
So, so interesting to hear something of her process - I adore her storytelling and cinematography. I would love to see a longer film from her if she ever decides to go that direction. Thank you so much for having her on 😊
This was hands down a pretty great interview. Isabel to me when I first was introduced to her was this youtube monolith and aesthetic poster girl for cottagcore and offgriding that it became to hard to see the person behind the fairytale and not hold her to the standards we lump influencers in. Sometimes in the world of youtube and social media we forget that not everyone intended to commercialize their talents with social media but broaden their work as creatives or hobboyist who love what they do. Isabel the artist and creator is also a magical experince if not more humanizing of the fairytale character she's created. Understanding the work and details that go into such cinematically composed videos and seeing how hard she works for me fills the videography with even more meaning . What to most would be brag worthy, kiss the rings type content, shes so determined to keep improving and perfecting and I think thats an a trait to appreciate but I hope with this interview you were able to remind her of how much work and effort she pours into herself everyday. Interviewer did very well with the technical questions and asking how a lot of shots in various situations were executed and that was really helpful to understand Isabels range as a begginer, especially enjoyed the pop up glossary.
Isabelle is a dream designer. She is strong and creative. She has matured cinematically over time. Nice interview, real questions that get behind the scenes. Thanks for taking us along.
Wow ! I always thought Isabell Paige is very talented. After watching this episode I’m even more in awe of her talents. I never realize the extent of work she put in making these contents. Her knowledge in cinematography is spectacular. Definitely an artist in so many levers. Thank you Jack & Isabel for sharing this awesome interview. ❤
love love LOVE Isabell. she is by far one of my favorite youtubers. i’ve been watching her since the beginning and have always really respected her. would love to hear more of her story in regards to her videography. so much love for her
I have always loved Isabel‘s videos, but had no idea just how much work is involved in making them and editing. I’ve always known that she’s a smart young woman and very creative but this video allowed me to see even more of her creativity and her creative genius. I felt a little sad that she said she doesn’t read the comments because there are so many people out there that love her work. I pray for her that she will get to a point in her work where she feels confident enough to read the comments and benefit from all the love and joy in them and ignore the trolls. She is one amazing young woman.❤️❤️❤️
I love that Isabel is getting a spotlight!! She is so talented and deserves soooo much!! I hope this helps her realizes how much we love her work and believes in herself fully. I know she struggles wondering if she is, for lack of a better word, worthy. SHE IS WORTH EVERYTHING!! Protect Isabel at all costs!!
I’ve been watching Isabel for years…. After all these years she still doesn’t understand how spectacular she is. My highest hope for Isabel is that she realizes how truly gifted and beautiful inside and out she is. Her videos bring me motivation, spark my creativity and also I get the guilty pleasure of escaping my own reality through her videos. ❤ love her work 😊
Isabel is an exceptional talent. She is very self-deprecating but she is doing what I sometimes wondered if someone else was doing, which is her attention to detail, and her shooting. Many have wondered and asked aloud about who is helping her - and with this interview it is well-confirmed that she does have help from family, her partner (who is also a talent in several ways media-wise) and others. While the help is I'm sure absolutely appreciated, she is perfectly capable of doing it herself, without anyone's help or permission. Any of us in creative work can feel like everyone else has it figured out but us. Imposter syndrome is a very real thing. But Isabel is the real deal, and I'm glad to see her talking about her craft openly. I had asked many times on YT for her to do a BTS on her films. This is a very nice BTS look at her process. Bravo, Isabel, and thanks Jack for helping talk through it all with her. Bravo!
I've been watching Isabel off and on for a while. She goes through ups and downs like most youtubers (and all people) do. I am always amazed by her naturally landscaped environments and dramatic scenes. I can feel and smell the season changes through her cinematography. I am so pleased that you took the time to recognize the technical aspects of her art and hard work. There is nothing easy about being a youtuber. Congratulations for doing an amazing interview and review of this creative lady.
I've been watching Isabel for the past couple years and she is such a inspiration. When I say I watch UA-cam and someone living their life instead of TV shows, this is what I mean..I watch people who live a life that inspired me beyond belief
For anyone that speaks bad on her channel she just used the terms ‘what I wished my dream life was’ and ‘larger than life fairytale’. Love Isabel and SO grateful for this insight into how she works. Thanks to the both of you 🙏
its about time someone interviews this woman and its about time this woman gets out of the woods and interviews!! the filming side has been such a wonder every time I watch her videos!!! THANK YYYOU
Wow I never realized the extent she went through to make these videos for us. I just take for granted how beautiful they are and never realized the love she put behind it. Also, she is freakin adorable can we all agree? Lol so sweet
She's incredible. Every person interested in filmmaking was looking forward to that interview. Thank you, Isabel, for exposing yourself and facing your fears. You are a lovely human being. Love and light!
This is so informative. I've followed Isabel for years. I've wondered why she was being so hard on herself about her videos. Now I understand. To an average Joe, such as myself, I just enjoy her videos and keeping up with her, while not necessarily knowing the film production side. She is for sure a perfectionist in all she does, so no surprise, but her UA-cam viewers may not be as discerning as she expects. I'm a bit wiser now! 🤗
It’s undeniable that the girl has a great deal of talent in video creation. What surprises me is that most of her audience thinks that all this cinematography is her real life, with those moments of her life casually captured on video. These are stories told very beautifully but, according to her, they are obviously studied in detail and planned; they have nothing to do with real life.
I'm not sure where you picked up that information. I've been watching Paige for a while now and maybe I missed the video where she says her work is a fantasy. To say critics are confused is a wild assumption. Critics of film and media know exactly how much work is put in which is why we say something when it feels off. I really love her work, the visuals are stunning and it's clear she puts in a lot of effort. No one is doubting that. I think where the general audience and fan base is getting lost is the fact that she doesn't connect with her fans but chooses to address them in the videos directly. As a critic who studied film and media arts I feel like this does a disservice to her work. Addressing the audience directly gives the audience the idea that this is real life and not a fantasy. Just like how I'm talking with you. It's honestly giving Lonelygrl15 if anyone is old enough to remember that lol. But in comparison that channel would actually address the comments staged or otherwise fully engaging in a real conversation giving us more belief in the story that's being presented.
@@merrymeet I have been consuming her content for many years, and what I have said about the fans, I say it because I usually read the comments. and fights are common in the comments section between those who defend that this is his real life and others are only envious, and those who do not believe that it is his life and that he is a less than honest person. I honestly don't care about all the drama, it is very clear from the beginning that it is simply audiovisual content, very elaborate, and partly fiction. I don't care, I'm going to see it anyway
I truly appreciate someone looking at her creatively instead of judgmentally. I've watched her for years and definitely went down the rabbit hole of people who truly should have appreciated and honored her... but chose to take a different path. She has gifted vision.
Been watching Isabel for several years now. Her videos bring me so much peace and I hope that one day she sees how gifted of a cinematographer she truly is!
It’s so interesting watching her like this , outside her fantasy story line. She’s so composed, well articulated, and talented which we cnt see outside of her videos
Whoa. This gives me an entirely new perspective and appreciation for her videos! I’ve been watching them since the beginning when they were just classic vlogs. This is a lot of work and talent going into this! Enjoy yourself more Isabel! You’re very talented 😊❤
Wow. I watched this whole thing. I've always wondered about her process and you can just tell how unbelievably smart she is. It sucks that she is so hard on herself, bc she is actually brilliant. Thanks for doing this interview ❤
I've always loved her videos! BUT after this interview, WOW!! I have an even deeper appreciation for her work! That life, that girl in those stories she creates, is the girl that lives inside me as well. What a talented human. Thank you for this interview 💖
As someone who has been so fascinated by her work (and specifically her work ethic) ... I'm taken aback by this spontaneous interview! This is a rare sighting, and that's an understatement! THANK YOU & CONGRATULATIONS TO YOU BOTH!
she’s always extremely beautiful but in this interview somehow even more!! she’s glowing, it’s so refreshing seeing her talk to someone about her passion
Isabel is out of this world, I follow her channel and totally love it. It's so interesting to see what is behind the scenes, there is so much going on to get to the point where we are watching it. Mind blowing really. She's the best! Thank you for having her on the show, she is sooo worth it.
I have followed Isabel for such a very long time, and thanks to you, I know how much knowledge she has of photography. She is a very gifted your lady, among other things like cooking. Thanks again from Mike.
We love Isabel and Logan!! My husband and I watch her videos every Sunday morning while eating breakfast.🎉🎉🎉 It just makes our Sunday morning. Love her family to. So sad to see she's so insecure about herself. I see her as a strong, amazing, creative person. I wish you would have asked her about her cooking, her cookbook and her favorite recpies and what she eats every day.
She is incredible and is such a teacher. One brighter light in the world. She inspires me to be a better person, to appreciate more. Just an amazing young woman. An old soul for sure. ❤
So nice to hear this interview from Isabel. She is a very talented and inspiring young woman. Now I get where she’s coming from after watching this video. A definite artist and off-the-grid woman in so many ways. 🙏
I have been waiting for this interview to come out. She did a whole video about coming to do it which was totally wonderful. She is amazing at all that she does. I have been following her since she started her channel and can never get enough. I can tell how thoughtful every shot is and love her confessions. She's wise beyond her years. Please have her make a music video for you guys! That would be incredible. Thank you for having her on your show. Swoon.
Isabel is an absolutely amazing person!! I've been following her videos for years and love watching her journey. This was a beautiful opportunity to hear some of the behind the scenes work that she does and makes me appreciate her so much more. Thank you both for this interview 💕!!
Truly one of the greatest cinematographers and storytellers of our generation. It’s an honour to watch this deep dive, I have wished for it and will rewatch again and again
This was great. I've been watching Isabel's videos for a few years and have definitely seen the progression. As a creative it was great to hear a discussion on her techniques and work ethic, many people just do not understand what goes into creating something engaging and it's really helped me appreciate how much she cares about her output. One of the things that I think she's hard on herself for is risking being a bit samey or not dynamic enough content wise but actually I think the peaceful slow moving nature life is one of the greatest strengths. I hope that she gets the chance to be involved in a longer form film. Also I appreciated the focus on how quality audio is one of the things that can really elevate video media. People will easily forgive raw shaky camera work as a possible stylistic choice - but bad audio always reveals an amateur approach.
OMG I can't tell you enough how much I loved this! I've been obsessed with Isabel's videos since I discovered her and getting to know the BTS and her process behind it is truly wonderful. She really deserves more credit for the hard work she puts into her masterpieces. Thanks for having her on, Jack!
Genuinely glad I saw this video. I have seen quite a few of Isabels video's had totally the wrong impression of who she was and more importantly what she was doing. I realise now that she is a creative soul and more about producing an art form rather than creating her online image. Cheers !
The art she creates is all in service of creating an online image. Her online image comes first, especially now that she is closing in on 1 million subs.
@@凯思I don't totally agree. Until I saw this I may be in agreement, but clear to me now she is a true creator. Obviously she embraces her platform for showing her work and provide an income, but clearly she is driven by the creative art of her work. A talented hard working individual for sure and she deserves her success ! Cheers.
She is entirely a different person in this interview. It’s so odd to me. I like seeing her behind the scenes. I respect her talent and planning. Before seeing this, I had some issues with her videos as I thought it was perfectionism and unrealistic portrayal for an ego need. But I realize now it’s just art.
Isabel is by far my favorite creator, and I can deeply connect and feel the good vibes from the lifestyle and stories. Also Jack was so sensitive and with such great knowledge on the subject and it felt like a conversation between two best friends from years happening. Great interview, great show, everything is wonderful. Thanks A LOT for sharing, it's really really inspiring :)
Wow! This interview has really open up my eyes to how hard she works and how dedicated she is to her art! She’s truly an incredible artist!! I have so much respect for her and her artistry - Thank you so much for interviewing her
Fantastic interview! Really appreciate her creativity, dedication and work ethic. She really loves what she does and she really respects her audience to work so hard for awesome video footage! Thank you Isabel and thanks for a lovely interview!
Great interview Jack. I’ve been following Isabel for over three years and don’t miss an episode. I love that you revealed her behind-the-scenes talent and dedication to her art. As a songwriter and producer, I understand the effort it takes to create something great and never feel it’s unique. There are many hours of work behind the scenes crafting, working out the details, and wondering if anyone will understand what you’re trying to achieve. That is a given. Kudos to Isabel. She is a great artist and deserves recognition for doing a spectacular job. She bravely gives her ideas and works to the universe for all to appreciate. I hope she realizes that it is a gift and she will be rewarded someday for her dedication to her art. Please print all the beautiful comments and snail mail them to her so she realizes she and her work are loved by many.
It's really great, that the interview shines some light on the production side of things. Cause most people in the comments really thinks, the videos show her real life. She does really great filming and everything, but it's planned out for the content, which is totally fine. But people really do believe, it is real. If you consume it, knowing, how much work and thoughts go in the videos, you can realise, that a normal person can't have this kinda life, that she shows on camera.
She has worked hard to give people the illusion that it is real..until more recently. This interview is the most honest and authentic have ever seen her. She should show more on her channel like she is here. let people see how she produces the short films that she makes..like behind the scenes of what goes into it all…much better than watching her dance and spin around and yelling at the mountains..lol
Isabel is amazing. She really brings me in when I watch her videos. I love nature and I think she really captures it and presents it naturally. I really love to live like that also.
Wow! Thank you, Jack and the whole team for getting Isabel Paige. You discussed the technical details and her philosophy and work ethic. For many, like me, without formal training in videography and cinematography, videos like this greatly help!

Crazy thing is I was searching yesterday like a mad man to see if she posted her gear or process anywhere. And today I see this
Her and Foresty Forest are amazing.
Totally agree!!!
Thank you Isabel Paige 🤍
I am seeing something in Isabella that I have never realized, she is super super intelligent and amazingly modest,I will view her work with a new appreciation from now on.
I'm so happy someone has shined a light on this side of Isabel. Thoughtful and intentional with her work and willing to go to great lengths to create it. Yep, she's a badass.
Lol we will discuss everything in person now tonight 😂😂😂❤❤❤😂😂😂😂😂
Waking up at 3 in the morning to hike a mountain...braving so many natural elements for her work and then also braving the world’s judgement in the pursuit of creativity….badass is the perfect adjective for Isabelle!
she is indeed
@@MichelleMumBumcan’t tell if this is sarcasm or
So happy to see this comment! Really resonates with my thoughts of Isabel’s work and ethic! I hope Logan reads all the good wonderful comments to her, so she knows just how much joy her work brings to others! The interviewer has gained a subscriber! Absolutely LOVE how you did this interview, the questions you asked, the scenes you chose to have explained, and the compliments Isabel so deserves! Bravo to you as well!
SO GLAD THIS VIDEO EXISTS. I sometimes see negative comments on Isabel's channel from people who don't get that she's a cinematographer. Once you understand that she's a cinematographer and that it's her hobby, there is really no negative opinion left to be had. She's not "lying" about her life or trying to "trick people" into believing that her life is a fairy tale. She's a cinematographer making art by using her life as the canvas. That's it. Pretty simple stuff.
I also once saw a multi-video takedown where some girl was ranting and complaining about how Isabel "lies" about everything in her life and it's like... did you have fun wasting your time on that? I think you lack media literacy if you watch her videos and fail to understand that she's meticulously setting up her shots with an incredible amount of work ethic, planning, and knowledge. She's brilliant.
The chick who ranted on her video wasn't talking about her cinematography but her actual life she's saying she has. The lies supposedly where she lives, money she makes, etc. Think that's a bit different.
@@Melanie-xx1fcyou should never tell anyone, strangers especially, on the internet where you live.
@@allwhowander390 hahaha 😂 🤣 😅
@@Melanie-xx1fcI would never tell 100,000s of people where I live or how much money I make either. We’re not entitled to know that stuff.
@@TheHawki235 Some people will never get it.
Isabel is one of my favorite creators! The visuals and her storytelling are amazing! Thanks for having her on, Jack!
She is simply incredible
Yes! She is one of the few creators that I can't wait for her next video❤
Agreed. Audio is SO on point. Makes the cinematography just so special.
The otherside is, her work is artifical and staged, same as the girl posing 2 hours for the perfect shot at the beach in dubai to show someting that does not exist. Isabel is the mountain living version of this artifical nonsense
That is true she’s amazing! 💗💗
As someone who's been watching Isabel for years, I really hope her other subscribers watch this video. It's such great insight.
another sub here! ive been watching her for years as well. shes awesome!
Most of her subscribers would not want to see how contrived her channel is. Her comments are filled with adulation over how wholesome and authentic she is. I feel like her amazing talent is in many ways being wasted by the heavily constrained self brand she has enclosed herself in.
@@凯思 I totally get what your saying. For me personally, I always felt like there was something disingenuous and "off" about her that I couldn't put my finger on. After watching this video, it helped me realize that her videos are kind of a character of herself; a carefully-crafted, idealized version of herself. It helped me appreciate her videos more now that I focus on the beauty of them and less on authenticity.
@@sweetness371 totally agree. I think she has two sets of viewers, the ones that think she is authentic and the ones like me that found her way too cosplay contrived, though appreciate the calm cinematic vibe. This, for me, makes me respect her more in that I now know how much work goes into taking it from her vision to her finished product and I appreciate that she admits that it's not authentic but is still beautiful.
This is a spectacular interview. I’ve never felt so impressed with a UA-camr and her planning, detail, creativity. Thank you for this interview.
Isabel is so harsh on her self it makes me cry😭 she’s sooo Amazing! Her shots Are just stunning! Like everytime!🥹✨🙌🏻
Yes, it makes me so sad. She is so talented and her videos are very moving. The beauty of her shots has brought me to tears so many times.
Misery loves company its part of her gig.
@@upstatevanlifer6918 I wouldn't say its her gig. You can tell how painfully shy and critical she is here. The interviewer is very gentle. It takes that critic to make great work, but it also leads to self-disparaging ruts.
Most great artists are really hard on themselves. That’s what makes them great. They are constantly looking at ways to improve their craft.
@@AlexFreeman-h3g I disagree. A lot of them are, but it's not something that has to be the case at all. It's just seemingly not common to treat your artist self with peace and grace. But it is definitely possible.
Have previously passed judgement on her channel and content from the confusing combination of creating a contrived fake fantasy life vs becoming entranced with the beautiful shots and the moments of vulnerable authenticity. Seeing her explain her process reinforces that yes, this is a production, it's not necessarily "real" life, but it's exercising her creative passion. Her commitment to her art and the incredible work ethic that goes into it is inspiring. Thanks for sharing Isabel (and Jack).
Seeing her in an entire new perspective!!
Always hated how it was just a fake manufactured world, but now you almost have me convinced to watch this to gain a new perspective.
I also previously passed judgement on how falsely she was portraying her life, especially knowing that 20 feet away from her "off grid cabin" was an on-the-grid house with laundry, electricity, running water, etc. I think younger Isabel definitely contrived and hid the lie, but has since become more transparent while also being a powerhouse artist. It's much more authentic now than it used to be, and the creativity shines through.
I’m so speechless. Finally a window into Isabelle’s genius creativity. Even those of us following her for years haven’t truly understood the extent of her work ethic. She won’t see our comments, like she said, but I hope she knows deep down how inspirational she is. We couldn’t be more proud of her and her humility surrounding her work. THANK YOU JACK for shining a beautiful light on her life’s work and setting up an opportunity for her to shine :) And thank you Isabelle for being so honest and open about your creative process 🫶 She is going to inspire generations of film makers.
I happen to look at the comment section last week, and she responded to some. First time seeing it. She even asked a commenter to email her so she could send some extra cans of something she made that week. Really something! (The reason Isabel wanted to send this commenter some cans (of soup?) was becasue that's what her mother used to make when she was young when her mom was alive)
@@danherrick5785 She is so lovely 🥺 omg i didn’t realize that thank you for commenting
Masterclass in self-taught vlog-style storytelling. Thanks Jack and Isabel for the incredible conversation!
Cinematographer??? Ahhh, I would call her more of a "cinemagician". Her creations are absolutely MAGIC. Everything she does is beautiful, the scenery, the weather, her clothes, and the centerpiece is herself. Beautiful lady. Beautiful work.
She has literally the best looking videos on UA-cam right now and it makes me sad she doesn't feel enough. I wish she could validate herself for what a masterpiece she creates and give herself a break time to time. She's a real artist. 💚
Isabel is just a fae creature with a camera honestly. She just seems magical in everything she does. Her videos take me a way for a bit and place in that moment, which lately has been such a necessary thing. She's phenomenal.
This interview is finally a true accounting of the channel and her work. It's the most honest she's been about the reality that these are meticulously (beautifully, wonderfully) planned stories, and not slices of life she just happened to capture. So many of her viewers are under the illusion that this is her real life, and the camera just 'happens' to be there, or that she is just spontaneously dancing through flower fields with perfect composition. What's sad is that she is an outrageously talented cinematographer, yet so many of her viewers bemoan the 'ordinariness' of their lives in comparison. I'm baffled that anyone can think this is a documentary of spontaneous moments, but so many people do. I hope more of them see this video and come away with a better appreciation for her talent, and a better appreciation for their own lives instead of comparing them to 'a larger than life fairytale.'
These are real life stories. And she is using her feelings to generate a story every week based on real life. She uses her skills as a cinematographer as a medium to communicate. Sure she dramatizes the story. Who wouln'dt when telling a story people are willing to watch. Like any author would. Doesn't make it "not her real life".
@@danherrick5785 The final product, the actual video itself, is not a real life story. It's a beautiful, compelling, wonderfully filmed composite sketch of a collection of experiences that might sometimes be based on 'real life' , but are also interpretations, created/curated images, and meticulously planned and rehearsed scenes that capture certain ideas. It's not a documentary, it's not off the cuff, and the final product, the video itself, which is what I was speaking to, is certainly not her real life. I don't know how to say it more clearly.
great comment. i find her videos an inspiration to live a more intentional life, but almost to the point of envy. gotta find a balance
A very insightful comment __
So glad to finally hear Isabelle describing her actual filming process. Amazing.
I just can't believe that someone could leave a negative comment in any of Isabel's videos. She has a balance between fantasy and the reality of rural life that even if she visually romantizice it, she is always honest about the reality of living a parcially lonely life in the mountains. That's why we love her, she is not trying to sell us her lifestyle as the ONE. She is just honest and tells her story in the most beautiful way.
As someone who’s watched her from the start- I’ve never heard her actually discuss the reality vs fantasy. And the beginning of her channel was completely authentic, building the tiny house in overalls. So myself and many others were confused by the pivot to highly curated content- nothing wrong with it, but she wouldve benefitted from explaining that I think.
Good on her anyway, shes very talented!
@@jasmine-amelias her only real talent is not wearing a bra
I absolutely agree, but i think its mostly people that either dont have a life, are jealous...or both.. i can't find any reason to ever leave a bad comment on her Videos because she is fu**in brilliant! ❤ all the people that do, simply have no respect for the amount of work she puts into every Video, no appreciation for the beauty that she brings to So many people ..and no love for how she changes peoples lives for the better. Ive been watching her channel for years, and literally every Video has made an amazing impact on my life so far. So for all the haters... they should seriously get a life or just szop watching people that they are envious of...
@@jasmine-amelias her only real talent is not wearing a bra
@@jasmine-amelias The shift was plainly obvious to anyone who was a viewer from the early days, and it feels gross. Because she's still pretending its reality. The authentic nature of her videos was great in the beginning but the new content is soulless and empty.
Really loved this! Down-to-earth authentic creators talking about real artistry. Isabel is a true storyteller and artist. Oh, and yes, Photo Pills is an amazing tool to plan shots! I use it all the time!
Isabel is such a beautiful soul. I have cherished her and her content ever since I first encountered her here on UA-cam. She is such a creative treasure, and we are all so blessed to have her here on this planet with us at this poignant time. If ever I met her, I would just love to give her the biggest hug, and tell her how utterly awesome she is just her being herself. ❤️👍❤️
Thank you! Now I finally understand what her videos are. I was always a bit confused as to how you were supposed to view them. As a vlog or a production. Now I can fully enjoy her beautiful shots and dive into the story without wondering what I am watching. ❤
People’s perceptions aside, there’s absolutely no doubt how creatively talented Isabel is and how deep her commitment is to anything she puts her mind to. It seems like she can create or learn to create basically anything at all. Even when it comes to her home projects. She’s like 100% DIY and it’s truly inspiring
Her commitment to her craft is insane. It breaks my heart to hear the way she speaks about herself. Knowing what she does to get these shoots, adds magic to the filming, instead of removing it.
Isabel does such beautiful, well-crafted work! It was amazing hearing her talk a bit about her process and her inspiration! Thank you for having her as a guest!
Isabel is a fantastic artist and creative. The new story project she's been creating has felt like an accumulation of her years of study and passion. It's inspiring to live the creative lifestyle in every little pocket you encounter in daily life ♡
thank you for having her here! I honestly just have been wondering how she takes such beautiful shots, especially, the shots where she would hike up a mountain and film at the same time from such wild angles hahaha
She’s so DOPE!!! Her channel is so beautiful, peaceful and inspiring.
I discovered Isabel's channel during the pandemic in 2020 and I was always mind-blown that she didn't get recognition for her cinematography and storytelling. I'm happy now that people are acknowledging her talent!
Isabel is amazing; I so love and appreciate her magical videos! It's very interesting to hear about her techniques behind what seems so effortless and ethereal. I have to compliment her beautiful writing and editing. In this crazy world, Isabel remains one of my all time favorites 🥰
Wow, so impressed. Been watching her for years, but didn’t realize the amount of cinematography she put into her work. Naïve. On my part.
This is the difference between content creators and creative content creators!!! She works sooooo hard and I want her to know how much I greatly appreciate her work ...true creative genius very few of these on youtube....Thanks for the interview❤
She's a true artist. She makes everything look so natural and effortless it's already impressive to watch, even more impressive to hear how she captures her shots.
I adore Isabel. Her storytelling and videography is such poetic beauty.
Her talents, wisdom, earthiness, and wholesome are so endearing. And the closeness she shares with her family all keep me coming back ❤
Thank you for this interview. ❤
This was amazing! Please have her back on again sometime. She is one of the most fascinating persons I’ve ever come across. Like there is literally nothing that she can’t do what she puts her mind to it. She is an incredible woman!
Isabel is such an incredibly talented and creative cinematographer. Her storytelling and style is so unique. Seriously, if you aren’t watching her content you are missing out!
Isabel is not just a "UA-camr" she is a visual artist in every way. Props to her for such hard work and excellent content. I give like 10% of that effort in my videos and it just barely scratches the surface of what is possible with visual story telling. So many people probably see her videos and are enraptured in the beauty and idealism of a seemingly perfect life. But what they don't see or don't think about is the many many hours she puts into staging shots, perfecting lighting, editing, outfits/wardrobe, cleaning up etc. It's hard work to create this level of cinematic beauty.
She has disgusting level of brilliance about imagery and angles....
A blue heart to her and you.
💙💙
Isabel is truly incredible. In my opinion one of the best UA-camrs out there. To make such challenging shots look so simple and effortless is an art.
Isabel mérite d'être connue et reconnue pour son travail, au-delà de ses choix de vie qui nous passionnent, elle a sa propre patte, une palette de couleurs et d'émotions qui font de ses vidéos de petits chefs-d'oeuvre.
Thank you for the pop up glossary as it made the interview more educational. Ms. Paige is an authentic cinematographer, well crafted.
I’ve been watching Isabel’s videos for years and this gives me a new appreciation for her work. I wish she wouldn’t be so hard on herself, she’s far and away my favorite UA-camr and her videos are absolutely stunning. The quality is unlike anything else I’ve ever seen
I need more of this! I could listen to Isabel describe her process for many days in a row and not get bored - and you ask such engaging, compelling questions to direct the conversation ❤❤❤
So, so interesting to hear something of her process - I adore her storytelling and cinematography. I would love to see a longer film from her if she ever decides to go that direction. Thank you so much for having her on 😊
What an excellent idea. I would love to see her do a study on something combined with her cinematography ❤
This was hands down a pretty great interview. Isabel to me when I first was introduced to her was this youtube monolith and aesthetic poster girl for cottagcore and offgriding that it became to hard to see the person behind the fairytale and not hold her to the standards we lump influencers in. Sometimes in the world of youtube and social media we forget that not everyone intended to commercialize their talents with social media but broaden their work as creatives or hobboyist who love what they do. Isabel the artist and creator is also a magical experince if not more humanizing of the fairytale character she's created. Understanding the work and details that go into such cinematically composed videos and seeing how hard she works for me fills the videography with even more meaning . What to most would be brag worthy, kiss the rings type content, shes so determined to keep improving and perfecting and I think thats an a trait to appreciate but I hope with this interview you were able to remind her of how much work and effort she pours into herself everyday. Interviewer did very well with the technical questions and asking how a lot of shots in various situations were executed and that was really helpful to understand Isabels range as a begginer, especially enjoyed the pop up glossary.
Isabelle is a dream designer. She is strong and creative. She has matured cinematically over time. Nice interview, real questions that get behind the scenes. Thanks for taking us along.
Wow ! I always thought Isabell Paige is very talented. After watching this episode I’m even more in awe of her talents. I never realize the extent of work she put in making these contents. Her knowledge in cinematography is spectacular. Definitely an artist in so many levers. Thank you Jack & Isabel for sharing this awesome interview. ❤
love love LOVE Isabell. she is by far one of my favorite youtubers. i’ve been watching her since the beginning and have always really respected her. would love to hear more of her story in regards to her videography. so much love for her
I love Isabel's videoes but I had no idea how much work and thought they take. Major respect.
I have always loved Isabel‘s videos, but had no idea just how much work is involved in making them and editing. I’ve always known that she’s a smart young woman and very creative but this video allowed me to see even more of her creativity and her creative genius. I felt a little sad that she said she doesn’t read the comments because there are so many people out there that love her work. I pray for her that she will get to a point in her work where she feels confident enough to read the comments and benefit from all the love and joy in them and ignore the trolls. She is one amazing young woman.❤️❤️❤️
I love that Isabel is getting a spotlight!! She is so talented and deserves soooo much!! I hope this helps her realizes how much we love her work and believes in herself fully. I know she struggles wondering if she is, for lack of a better word, worthy. SHE IS WORTH EVERYTHING!! Protect Isabel at all costs!!
I’ve been watching Isabel for years…. After all these years she still doesn’t understand how spectacular she is. My highest hope for Isabel is that she realizes how truly gifted and beautiful inside and out she is. Her videos bring me motivation, spark my creativity and also I get the guilty pleasure of escaping my own reality through her videos. ❤ love her work 😊
Beautiful comment and so well said!
Isabel is an exceptional talent. She is very self-deprecating but she is doing what I sometimes wondered if someone else was doing, which is her attention to detail, and her shooting. Many have wondered and asked aloud about who is helping her - and with this interview it is well-confirmed that she does have help from family, her partner (who is also a talent in several ways media-wise) and others. While the help is I'm sure absolutely appreciated, she is perfectly capable of doing it herself, without anyone's help or permission. Any of us in creative work can feel like everyone else has it figured out but us. Imposter syndrome is a very real thing. But Isabel is the real deal, and I'm glad to see her talking about her craft openly. I had asked many times on YT for her to do a BTS on her films. This is a very nice BTS look at her process. Bravo, Isabel, and thanks Jack for helping talk through it all with her. Bravo!
i’m so happy another youtuber is lifting her up. she deserves her flowers ❤
I've been watching Isabel off and on for a while. She goes through ups and downs like most youtubers (and all people) do. I am always amazed by her naturally landscaped environments and dramatic scenes. I can feel and smell the season changes through her cinematography. I am so pleased that you took the time to recognize the technical aspects of her art and hard work. There is nothing easy about being a youtuber. Congratulations for doing an amazing interview and review of this creative lady.
I've been watching Isabel for the past couple years and she is such a inspiration. When I say I watch UA-cam and someone living their life instead of TV shows, this is what I mean..I watch people who live a life that inspired me beyond belief
Been watching Isabel for yearssss!!!! Omg finally a real TALK with the lady ❤❤❤
For anyone that speaks bad on her channel she just used the terms ‘what I wished my dream life was’ and ‘larger than life fairytale’. Love Isabel and SO grateful for this insight into how she works. Thanks to the both of you 🙏
Jack, this channel is an amazing source of unbelievably amazing UA-camrs. Also, the interviews are fantastic.
its about time someone interviews this woman and its about time this woman gets out of the woods and interviews!! the filming side has been such a wonder every time I watch her videos!!! THANK YYYOU
Wow I never realized the extent she went through to make these videos for us. I just take for granted how beautiful they are and never realized the love she put behind it. Also, she is freakin adorable can we all agree? Lol so sweet
She's not making them for us, she's making them for her it's her art..
She's incredible. Every person interested in filmmaking was looking forward to that interview.
Thank you, Isabel, for exposing yourself and facing your fears.
You are a lovely human being. Love and light!
this has so much love
I discovered Isabel 4 years ago, watched every single video. She has been and continues to be a source of beautiful inspiration.
This is so informative. I've followed Isabel for years. I've wondered why she was being so hard on herself about her videos. Now I understand. To an average Joe, such as myself, I just enjoy her videos and keeping up with her, while not necessarily knowing the film production side. She is for sure a perfectionist in all she does, so no surprise, but her UA-cam viewers may not be as discerning as she expects. I'm a bit wiser now! 🤗
It’s undeniable that the girl has a great deal of talent in video creation. What surprises me is that most of her audience thinks that all this cinematography is her real life, with those moments of her life casually captured on video. These are stories told very beautifully but, according to her, they are obviously studied in detail and planned; they have nothing to do with real life.
I think it's her critics who seem to be confused. I think her fans know the work that she puts into the videography and scripting.
I'm not sure where you picked up that information. I've been watching Paige for a while now and maybe I missed the video where she says her work is a fantasy. To say critics are confused is a wild assumption. Critics of film and media know exactly how much work is put in which is why we say something when it feels off. I really love her work, the visuals are stunning and it's clear she puts in a lot of effort. No one is doubting that.
I think where the general audience and fan base is getting lost is the fact that she doesn't connect with her fans but chooses to address them in the videos directly. As a critic who studied film and media arts I feel like this does a disservice to her work. Addressing the audience directly gives the audience the idea that this is real life and not a fantasy. Just like how I'm talking with you. It's honestly giving Lonelygrl15 if anyone is old enough to remember that lol. But in comparison that channel would actually address the comments staged or otherwise fully engaging in a real conversation giving us more belief in the story that's being presented.
@@merrymeet I have been consuming her content for many years, and what I have said about the fans, I say it because I usually read the comments. and fights are common in the comments section between those who defend that this is his real life and others are only envious, and those who do not believe that it is his life and that he is a less than honest person. I honestly don't care about all the drama, it is very clear from the beginning that it is simply audiovisual content, very elaborate, and partly fiction. I don't care, I'm going to see it anyway
@@annefresia2102exactly. 🎯
@@annefresia2102how can people know if it never gets mentioned?
I truly appreciate someone looking at her creatively instead of judgmentally. I've watched her for years and definitely went down the rabbit hole of people who truly should have appreciated and honored her... but chose to take a different path. She has gifted vision.
Been watching Isabel for several years now. Her videos bring me so much peace and I hope that one day she sees how gifted of a cinematographer she truly is!
It’s so interesting watching her like this , outside her fantasy story line. She’s so composed, well articulated, and talented which we cnt see outside of her videos
ISABEL!!! 🤍🤍🤍
This young, exceptional lady wows me every Sunday. Fantastic interview, wish it was longer. Thank you, Jack and Isabel! 🤍🤍🤍
Isabel is INCREDIBLE. I absolutely love her work.
Whoa. This gives me an entirely new perspective and appreciation for her videos! I’ve been watching them since the beginning when they were just classic vlogs. This is a lot of work and talent going into this! Enjoy yourself more Isabel! You’re very talented 😊❤
Wow. I watched this whole thing. I've always wondered about her process and you can just tell how unbelievably smart she is. It sucks that she is so hard on herself, bc she is actually brilliant. Thanks for doing this interview ❤
I've always loved her videos! BUT after this interview, WOW!! I have an even deeper appreciation for her work! That life, that girl in those stories she creates, is the girl that lives inside me as well. What a talented human. Thank you for this interview 💖
As someone who has been so fascinated by her work (and specifically her work ethic) ... I'm taken aback by this spontaneous interview! This is a rare sighting, and that's an understatement! THANK YOU & CONGRATULATIONS TO YOU BOTH!
Isabel we love what you do because it’s you sis it’s authentic- really enjoyed that glimpse into how you create thankyou so much it’s beautiful
she’s always extremely beautiful but in this interview somehow even more!! she’s glowing, it’s so refreshing seeing her talk to someone about her passion
Isabel is out of this world, I follow her channel and totally love it. It's so interesting to see what is behind the scenes, there is so much going on to get to the point where we are watching it. Mind blowing really. She's the best! Thank you for having her on the show, she is sooo worth it.
I have followed Isabel for such a very long time, and thanks to you, I know how much knowledge she has of photography. She is a very gifted your lady, among other things like cooking.
Thanks again from Mike.
We love Isabel and Logan!! My husband and I watch her videos every Sunday morning while eating breakfast.🎉🎉🎉 It just makes our Sunday morning. Love her family to. So sad to see she's so insecure about herself. I see her as a strong, amazing, creative person. I wish you would have asked her about her cooking, her cookbook and her favorite recpies and what she eats every day.
She is incredible and is such a teacher. One brighter light in the world. She inspires me to be a better person, to appreciate more. Just an amazing young woman. An old soul for sure. ❤
Gosh I love how this woman is so devoted to her craft, this is so inspiring to watch!
So nice to hear this interview from Isabel. She is a very talented and inspiring young woman. Now I get where she’s coming from after watching this video. A definite artist and off-the-grid woman in so many ways. 🙏
She doesn't even live off-grid...
I have been waiting for this interview to come out. She did a whole video about coming to do it which was totally wonderful. She is amazing at all that she does. I have been following her since she started her channel and can never get enough. I can tell how thoughtful every shot is and love her confessions. She's wise beyond her years. Please have her make a music video for you guys! That would be incredible. Thank you for having her on your show. Swoon.
Isabel is an absolutely amazing person!! I've been following her videos for years and love watching her journey. This was a beautiful opportunity to hear some of the behind the scenes work that she does and makes me appreciate her so much more. Thank you both for this interview 💕!!
Truly one of the greatest cinematographers and storytellers of our generation. It’s an honour to watch this deep dive, I have wished for it and will rewatch again and again
This was great. I've been watching Isabel's videos for a few years and have definitely seen the progression. As a creative it was great to hear a discussion on her techniques and work ethic, many people just do not understand what goes into creating something engaging and it's really helped me appreciate how much she cares about her output. One of the things that I think she's hard on herself for is risking being a bit samey or not dynamic enough content wise but actually I think the peaceful slow moving nature life is one of the greatest strengths. I hope that she gets the chance to be involved in a longer form film. Also I appreciated the focus on how quality audio is one of the things that can really elevate video media. People will easily forgive raw shaky camera work as a possible stylistic choice - but bad audio always reveals an amateur approach.
OMG I can't tell you enough how much I loved this! I've been obsessed with Isabel's videos since I discovered her and getting to know the BTS and her process behind it is truly wonderful. She really deserves more credit for the hard work she puts into her masterpieces. Thanks for having her on, Jack!
Genuinely glad I saw this video. I have seen quite a few of Isabels video's had totally the wrong impression of who she was and more importantly what she was doing. I realise now that she is a creative soul and more about producing an art form rather than creating her online image. Cheers !
The art she creates is all in service of creating an online image. Her online image comes first, especially now that she is closing in on 1 million subs.
@@凯思I don't totally agree. Until I saw this I may be in agreement, but clear to me now she is a true creator. Obviously she embraces her platform for showing her work and provide an income, but clearly she is driven by the creative art of her work. A talented hard working individual for sure and she deserves her success ! Cheers.
She is entirely a different person in this interview. It’s so odd to me. I like seeing her behind the scenes. I respect her talent and planning. Before seeing this, I had some issues with her videos as I thought it was perfectionism and unrealistic portrayal for an ego need. But I realize now it’s just art.
I felt like I was watching a different person also! Not in a bad way…she just seems different. Even looks a bit different!
I stopped watching her videos for the same reason, but now I think I will start watching her again. With different eyes.
Isabel is by far my favorite creator, and I can deeply connect and feel the good vibes from the lifestyle and stories. Also Jack was so sensitive and with such great knowledge on the subject and it felt like a conversation between two best friends from years happening. Great interview, great show, everything is wonderful. Thanks A LOT for sharing, it's really really inspiring :)
Wow! This interview has really open up my eyes to how hard she works and how dedicated she is to her art! She’s truly an incredible artist!! I have so much respect for her and her artistry - Thank you so much for interviewing her
Fantastic interview! Really appreciate her creativity, dedication and work ethic. She really loves what she does and she really respects her audience to work so hard for awesome video footage! Thank you Isabel and thanks for a lovely interview!
We may be looking at a future director. Just never know.she has so much talent . Thank you Isabel for your beautiful short stories.
Great interview Jack. I’ve been following Isabel for over three years and don’t miss an episode. I love that you revealed her behind-the-scenes talent and dedication to her art. As a songwriter and producer, I understand the effort it takes to create something great and never feel it’s unique. There are many hours of work behind the scenes crafting, working out the details, and wondering if anyone will understand what you’re trying to achieve. That is a given.
Kudos to Isabel. She is a great artist and deserves recognition for doing a spectacular job. She bravely gives her ideas and works to the universe for all to appreciate. I hope she realizes that it is a gift and she will be rewarded someday for her dedication to her art.
Please print all the beautiful comments and snail mail them to her so she realizes she and her work are loved by many.
It's really great, that the interview shines some light on the production side of things. Cause most people in the comments really thinks, the videos show her real life. She does really great filming and everything, but it's planned out for the content, which is totally fine. But people really do believe, it is real. If you consume it, knowing, how much work and thoughts go in the videos, you can realise, that a normal person can't have this kinda life, that she shows on camera.
She has worked hard to give people the illusion that it is real..until more recently. This interview is the most honest and authentic have ever seen her. She should show more on her channel like she is here. let people see how she produces the short films that she makes..like behind the scenes of what goes into it all…much better than watching her dance and spin around and yelling at the mountains..lol
Isabel is amazing. She really brings me in when I watch her videos. I love nature and I think she really captures it and presents it naturally. I really love to live like that also.
This was great! I always knew Isabel works hard, that was obvious, but I think now after this interview, “Isabel works hard” is an understatement!
What a incredibly informative interview. Isabell brings calm and beauty to her videos like no other, in my opinion. Such a gentle soul. Thank you.
Wow! Thank you, Jack and the whole team for getting Isabel Paige. You discussed the technical details and her philosophy and work ethic. For many, like me, without formal training in videography and cinematography, videos like this greatly help!
Isabel and her lantern are LIFE. ✨
Love Isabel's channel so much, you can tell from her videos that she puts a lot of effort into making them, keep it up Isabel we all love it💕💕
Her channel is literally stunning! And she's such an uplifting human!
Thank you for this interview! I’ve loved Isabel’s videos for so many years now and I enjoyed seeing a bit of her creative process and hard work here!
