Love this so much Jake. I'm constantly trying to work on being more present every day. Thanks for the reminder and amazing film as always <3

Jake, how do you have the same orange cassette tape as Sam Kolder? Do you have easter eggs in your video as well!?! Jk jk I love your videos!

The nostalgic/rare sound of a morning dove! Freakinnnn love this man!!

one of the most meaningful videos I've watched in a long time.

Thank you for your artisit view of our reality!!!

Beautiful Video🎥🙏🏽🔥

man, i wish i could tell storys like that.. thanks jake. <3

Every scene is amazing, great work Jake ☺️

so sweet. been trying to shift a lot of my focus to the emotions of a creation more than its other aspects. this video obviously made it easy because of how you crafted it, but also likewise with you served as a reminder to maintain this focus in the other parts of the day. thank you

FYI, morning dubs are not extinct. They are doing very well. They are the number one game species in North America.

Hey Jake, your video just popped up on my front page. I am really glad I clicked on it. Great visuals and an even better message. Thanks :)

Exactly what I needed to see today

I can't remember where I followed you from. But this was so beautiful. A well-timed fantastically-shot reminder. Thank You

Jake this video was full of feelings, loved it Made me want to make more movies (i dont know how to describe it)

This video is phenomenal and it made me feel all the feeling. Thank you <3

Morning dove is the name of my home street in Ohio :) loved this feeling video! I’m inspired to do the same for my channel

Your art just keeps getting better and better.

BEAUTIFUL JAKE

this is art, this is cinema ❤

THE LONG JUMP AYYYYYY

A friend of mine once said as we were on a camping trip, someone had pulled out a small speaker and was going to play some music, he asked for him to put it away, and he said, "we as a society have lost the ability to enjoy the silence". The rest of the trip, we did just that, went about doing activities and ENJOYED the silence! It was a great trip and helped me to realize that there are times we need to stop and do just that, enjoy the silence! ✌️

It's a reasonable question, really

Wow. I am so grateful for short films like this one. There is really nothing like it! To me you are a huge inspiration in the way you make videos like this and as well in the way you look at life. Thank you so much! All the best from germany

WOW ! what a nice video to watch , thanks for the free cinema cession movie ;)

they haven't gone extinct, we just stop listening to our surroundings! music, friends, and the stress of life is what keeps us from sitting down and decompressing life and just listening to mother nature and the life she has given us!

Moved 🔥

Wow so powerful 🙌

Another phenomenal video from you Jake! 👏🏽And so different from any other solar eclipse video I've seen. There should be more creators like you, who don't just do the stuff every KZbinr does, but make cinematic and inspiring content.

Not only did I hear one yesterday morning while walking the dog, I spotted the little guy. He was alone on a branch, singing his little song. I had a similar nostalgic experience, flooded with memories of playing outside and having fun. I realized in that moment that I can't think of the last time I've heard one of these fellas.

Dude that simple "This is what it SOUNDS like to see a solar eclipse" is so powerful at reminding us to appreciate the moment. You've got a great mind man.

BEAUTIFUL

How old are you man?

Love it jake ❤

You are so talented! Love this video!

I thinked about this in a couple monthes ago, I also payed attention to mourning dove and I remembered my childhood memories, and this video is touched my soul. Thats why I love watching your videos it makes me go back in time and think deeply. Thank you❤

Such a powerful video!

Bro. I heard one the other today too. I swear i almost teared up without knowing why until now.

Love this 😊

absolutely incredible. These videos never fail to put a little pep in my step and remind myself to take a deep breath. If you make it back to SoCal I'd love to take you on a skydiving, skateboarding, and wakesurfing adventure as a thank you for making these films

I love how you're able to bring a memory from the childhood alive together with all of the VHS footage and the story of the Morning Dove. I think now, more than ever, it's important to what we pay attention to, and I'm very happy that you're using your skills as a filmmaker to communicate the importance of that. Of what we consume. Of being aware of our habits. Really well done Jake. Thank you 🙏

Amazing, as always! 💜

i find this topic interesting - because, yeah we're distracted by over polished "fake experiences" but in a way, even your video is elevating a narrative of your experience that isn't exactly reality. the core nature of good storytelling is how you present the story - we're all telling stories and you're very good at it, but we shouldn't get it twisted that it's anymore meaningful than someone at a concert having a good time posting IG stories. you know? i feel like it's dangerous to presume that only "high quality storytelling" means something.

At this point all I can say is, THANK YOU. Just thank you for deciding to share. You re fabulous 💜

When I was in school for audio design we'd always say "sound is easy, you just have to listen" Being present really makes you appreciate the world.

The way the video started and the way it ended is great the starting made me want to see what was next and ended up enjoying it all the way through. Thank you Jake

I don’t know why, but your videos feel like a warm hug from an old friend. Thanks for the reminder, and keep making cool things!

Immediate click

i absolutely devour your videos!! so glad you're posting inspirational content like this <3

This is the kind of content I could watch for ages! Very well put together 🫂🫂

Crucial message we all need to hear in this day me age. Thanks for sharing!
