I almost died numerous times in Hawaii while I was surfing I didn’t sit around dwelling about it I just went out and did it again…. I don’t understand why all these people are sitting around complaining so much.
I want to take a minute to tell a story: during lockdown I downloaded Redbull TV and found interesting the Surf competition because it reminded one of my favourite cartoon as a child: Surf's Up. I've never had interest in Surf, but since then, something grown in me. The other day I was scrolling through Instagram stories and casually visited a tagged profile: it was a Surf photographer, with some of the most incredible pictures I've ever seen. Today this showed up in the home, watched all with goose bumps... I felt everything he said, made me emotional because I can't figure out how to follow my dream and escape from my actual life. Maybe Surf is the solution but now I don't know. I just thank you and everyone involved for these masterpiece.🙏🏼
i remember i watched kelly wakasa, a super extrovert and the best story teller i've seen up until this point. He made me light up the second i saw how he filmed and edited his days. He brought me into filmmaking. I was inspired.
Love it! Incredible work sam! One of my favorite moments was the mirror shot of her opening door transitioning to the wide shot of the van. So clean, so aesthetic. Good job!
Mahalo Matty & Tara for letting us share a piece of your story and for being incredible humans! This was such a fun project to be a part of and I'm so grateful to have such talented friends. Amazing job Sam, Jake, Sam B, Erica, and Happy Birthday Tara!!!
To be sincere this really got me hooked, the best part was that the dialogue and your ending speech was more than motivational... It may not be much but remind me to show you what I'm working on once it done.. Thanks for the video
This is awesome, beautiful - and yeah. We've all been there. And will be there again. And again. But we are creators. Artists. The Valley of Lows is just the valley of a wave. Stay with it and you will find yourself on the Wave Crest - riding high. All smiles. This is Life. And I think artists and creative people feel it more deeply.
Only watched the first 30 sec of the short film before coming to the comment section...couldn´t wait till the end to say that the color grading is out of this world it has so much character and fits the theme of the short film incredibly well. Would love to see a breakdown of it. Wondeful work
Thanks for the inspiration. Your films always keep me motivated, keeps me striving to learn. I can't believe this was shot on a go-pro! One Life, One Life, Shane
I love the punch line. It was just perfect. The ocean is there to save it. The short film was equally beautiful and it is true, good people can make anything happen - beautifully. :)
i can't believe this was shot on a gopro!!! LOLOLOLOLOLOL!!!!! dude, i'm absolutely LOVING the stuff you're doing right now... you're prbably my biggest inspiration and motivation on here these days.... totally been feeling the same way about my drive and creativity, but i'm making a change right now... gonna catch me some waves!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This guys videos are next Level! Thanks for this wave of inspiration! Love how inspiration changed from literally my year travel videos to such deep and professionally shot works that have a strong power to inspire .
The king of ADception is back, seemlessly weaving commercial products into heartwarming stories like nobody's business. Would love to see a behind the scenes video on your process working with companies like Polar Pro.
What an awesome video Sam, it's really inspiring to see how you went with creating this short film, calling a friend and just send it ! i will always keep tis video in mind as a guidance to create more.
I can't believe this was shot on a gopro...... Awesome video as always. I was on vacation there a little over a year ago and I'm positave I have a few pics of her surfing.
Brilliant piece of work Sam! I’m glad you caught the wave of inspiration for this story, The stoke you have in your closing segment is infectious. I am looking forward to the next one
Although I was born in a landlocked country I've always felt this special connection to the ocean, you did an amazing job capturing it dude, very inspirational indeed! ;D
Jeez couldn't believe the big reveal at the end. Actually shot in a GoPro! Must have looked amazing on thar shoulder rig 🤣 Just shows you it's the person behind the camera...
Sam I can't believe this was shot on a Go Pro! Good film, Needed your message today. I've been staring at my camera sitting on my desk all day and don't know what to do with it.
Maybe this will be that spark of inspiration for you to get out and make something :) Love you guys
