I discovered your channel this morning, and have since watched quite a few of your videos. Just let me say this: you're a true artist. Your videos are a delight to watch, and your photos are pure art. Wish I could have some framed at home!

[@Codacolor]

I really appreciate that, dude. Thank you so much! And you can if you like! I just added some of the images from this video to my print shop. Every dollar I get from selling prints goes directly back into the channel! codymitchell.com/prints

[@MINDTHEHEADPHONE]

@@Codacolor That's fantastic! Thanks, Cody! There's a small distance problem, since I'm from Brazil, but when I'm in the US, I'll be sure to order one!

[@loganguybaker]

Can’t express how excited I get when you upload. These videos are something special!

[@Codacolor]

Can't express how much I appreciate that, man. The admiration is so very mutual.

[@tomthetoaster8004]

I love that there isnt a single word spoken by you, really makes this video much more immersive and intimate in a way. This is probably one of if not THE best video ive ever watched.

[@Codacolor]

You're too kind, Tom. Thanks so much!!

[@ArcSylth]

Let's take a minute to appreciate the amount of work and dedication this man puts into his videos... This is just crazy inspiring, keep up the good work !

[@Codacolor]

Thank you!! Just trying to make the kinda stuff I wanna see. Really glad you appreciate it. It makes it all worth it!

[@user-kk2mh2it6m]

milky way at Glacier point and Tunnel view are absolutely stunning

[@abrrault]

I watch tons of youtube videos on many topics and I usually never comment but the level of quality of your work is so high that I am just dropping here my admiration. Bravo man

[@Codacolor]

It's an honor to receive your comment. Thank you, Arnaud!

[@anastasiafua]

Your film making and film photography is so beautiful to watch. Plus you’re so knowledgeable about film - I’ve learnt a lot from you and find you inspiring! Thx 🙏🏽

[@mahediazwad590]

Such a serene and BEAUTIFUL video. I could feel the calmness of it and honestly, I felt a connection while watching this video

[@Codacolor]

Thank you for that, Mahedi! 🙏🏼

[@nnummnunn]

man, i really appreciate your work and your results, greetings from the south of the world

[@Codacolor]

I appreciate your kind words! Thank you, from Oregon

[@benaffermick1796]

Cody. I believe this is one of the most beautiful videos I've ever seen on this platform. Everything just comes together to complement each other. I yearn to visit Yosemite (and the west coast) after this video. Bravo, sir.

[@Codacolor]

Ben, thank you so much man. It lights me up to know it spoke to you. Can't tell you how much I appreciate your comment. Much love!

[@jhollie8196]

One of the most awesome and beautiful places I’ve found to photograph. Thanks for sharing.

[@robertoheath1]

Dude, your photography is amazing and the production value of your videos is incredible! I hit subscribe expecting you to have millions of subscribers already, keep up the amazing work and you’ll be at those numbers in no time. Regards from a fellow photographer here in the UK

[@Codacolor]

Robert, that's too kind man. Thank you so much. Baby steps! Appreciate you being along for the ride. Cheers from Oregon!

[@emmanueljoseej8220]

the quality and amount of effort you put in these videos is the true sight to see

[@Codacolor]

thank you, emmanuel!!

[@brunopires207]

Man, I just woke up to find a cloudy day leaving me wihout will power to go on a 2 day photo-van-trip. But after seeing this, I'm just gonna GO. Cheers, congrats on your effort creating the video and some pretty nice pictures on a magical place. Respect!

[@Codacolor]

Yes, dude! Glad you found a little nudge of motivation from the video. Go get among it and take some great shots. Happy travels!!

[@csmrz5774]

Best one yet! You continue to amaze me. Bravo!

[@Luvrbug]

The pictures of glacier point are so calming. Sunrise was a perfect mood

[@yugen9095]

I just found you and I’m shocked to see how little subscribers you have. Every second of this video could be framed, it’s insane. You’re insane. The filming, the photography, the music, and the production of this video. I don’t know much but I know you’re going to be big

[@Codacolor]

Wow, that's so incredibly nice of you to say! Don't know if I'm deserving of that level of praise. Thank you so much!!

[@slope1957]

Superb photography, awesome video! Yosemite is on my bucket list, to do several days photography (maybe with a workshop) in the future. Well done, Cody. You should be proud.

[@LordParmesan]

Careful cinematography set up not only to document the scene, but also the way that you have experienced being there. Excellent content ji

[@Codacolor]

Really glad you appreciate that. Thank you, Jay!

[@peoplewithpixels]

No words, yet it says so much. Great cinematography and photography!

[@Codacolor]

Appreciate that, Paul! There's so much to hear if we are quiet enough to listen.

[@SuperFabiotv]

Cody, you deserve way more recognition and views for the videos and photos you bring on this channel! So unique!

[@Codacolor]

I'm so glad you think so. Thank you so much!

[@thats_joy_with_mark]

We are super impressed. Very inspiring 💯♥️👌🏼

[@nicolasmalmsten457]

Oh wow this video was outstanding! Also surprised that you don't have more followers. Keep you the good work man

[@yoste]

Soothing :)

[@paolacarrillo837]

Worth it every second!!😭

[@madelyngrant9357]

These videos are mesmerizing! Well done!

[@AntMcLean]

Such a beautiful film, loved when you opened the rear doors onto the mountain backdrop!

[@Codacolor]

Thank you!! Tunnel view never disappoints

[@serhiirudenko6183]

Thanks for another few minutes of high-quality landscapes in these cold days. It's just awesome!

[@Codacolor]

The pleasure was mine, Serhii. Thank you!

[@MrBiswas123]

Coming from the Olympus Mju video, Good content sir i love it

[@Codacolor]

[@pavlotyshchenko2737]

[@Codacolor]

[@412foto]

[@Codacolor]

I hope so too, Scott!

[@selenicabruce9721]

That ending giving me chills! Thank for this amazing content!

[@Codacolor]

No, thank you!!

[@ellenmitchell3174]

A very thoughtful piece…..you truly captured the beautiful essence of Yosemite. I loved the sequences of the clouds moving over the landscape … it was very moving and makes me wonder how could you not want to preserve the beauty of this planet for the future of mankind and all it’s creatures.

[@Codacolor]

I wonder that as well.

[@lisafriedmann189]

Beautiful job Cody! Happy Thanksgiving 🦃

[@Codacolor]

[@kevaughnhenry511]

Toooooo much talent my man, thank you for blessing us with another quality video. Beautiful exposures and cinematography 🔥🔥

[@Codacolor]

No thank you, dude. That's too kind. Really appreciate you!

[@IanMiller]

Magnificent photography, videography and narrative letting the experience tell the story. 👍👍 You just won a new subscriber.

[@Codacolor]

Thank you so much, Ian. Glad you dig the style!

[@colehammontree]

Found your channel today Cody and its so awesome dude. I love the stillness and sweetness of the moments in this film. I'm taking a trip to Utah and Yellowstone in 2 months, and I'm now hoping to come away with a short film like this. Really inspired bro. Keep making awesome stuff! 🙌

[@Codacolor]

Thanks, Cole! I hope you have an amazing trip and come away with tons of great shots!

[@cn4900]

shocked by the high quality of the video😱

[@rickybuenrostro3476]

Keep it up, this is real good work 👍🏽

[@Codacolor]

Ricky, thank you! We're just getting started.

[@RYANPARKPHOTOGRAPHY]

wow... view just out from van @6:10 is amazing.. So relaxing video man!

[@Codacolor]

Thank you, dude! Yosemite is truly bonkers.

[@shannonolree]

Beautifully captured. Did you play Rivers by Allman Brown on the guitar? Love that song.

[@Br3adSt1ck]

Fantastic video as always! You should do more reviews of cameras! I really enjoy your presenting style!

[@Codacolor]

Thank you for that! There is one I have that I haven't reviewed yet 👀

[@ianh3385]

You deserve way more views than what you get! This is absolutely beautiful. I'm sure you'll blow up in no time! Any advice on editing?

[@Codacolor]

Ian, thank you! Appreciate you!! and I know this probably isn't the advice you're looking for but just do it consistently and try styles out of your comfort zone!

[@artemtrix]

Thoroughly enjoyed both this and the previous video (more like a short film at this point :) )! Also noticed the shift towards more quiet narrating, I found it cool and powerful a as well (even though I really enjoyed when you shared your thoughts in the videos)

[@Codacolor]

Thank you, Artem! I enjoy making both styles and don't necessarily intend on excluding one of the other. Just experimenting with how I make things. Really glad your enjoy both!

[@chisenglam7938]

Hey Cody, really appreciating your work. I binged watch all your video for about a week now. I've learn a lot from you not just photography. I have inspired from you to pick up film as well. I would hope I can know your thought process when shooting in future videos.

[@Codacolor]

Thank you, Chiseng! I have thought about exploring that topic in a future video. I'd want to make sure I don't rush that one and that I do it justice.

[@chisenglam7938]

@@Codacolor That's great to hear! Looking forward to more of your videos.

[@boredtoday]

Man, this KZbin subscriber count is so wrong. Amazing stuff!

[@Codacolor]

Well you've helped swing it in the other direction. Thank you!!

[@marcairsoft]

Love the video ❤dude what is that spot called in the thumbnail standing on the edge

[@manoncotte2759]

Hi ! First of all, bravo for this video, we really go with you smoothly and all the images are stunning. I was wondering how do you manage to stabilize your camera inside the van while moving, do you have a special stabilizer? Maybe you say it in another video, I just discovered you channeled (I'm about to binge it all, I must confess). Thank you ! Lots of love for this beginning of 2022.

[@Codacolor]

Thank you, Manon! I have triple suction cup mount that I stick on my window to mount the camera. It's not a perfect solution as it can get pretty shaky sometimes, but it works for now. I believe it's a Delkin Triple Gecko or something like that. Thanks for the kind words, and happy new year!

[@heyfamilyusa]

wow

[@veronicaproxy]

I love your videos! I do have a question though. How do you go about purchasing/finding your film cameras?

[@Codacolor]

Thanks so much! and eBay! There are a couple affiliate links in the description that will point you to pages for two of my favorite cameras if you're interested!

[@bp-video]

I realy like your videos! Could you make a video about your workflow with a7siii?

[@Codacolor]

Thanks, Bogdan! I've considered it. May do one in spring. We'll see!

[@yumyumkevin]

love it! what video picture profile do you shoot with your sony -- -cinetone or slog3?

[@Codacolor]

Thanks dude! And slog3 all the way!!

[@PurpleStormProductions]

Where do you get your stuff developed and scanned when you’re on the road? Do you go from place to place or do you send them anywhere specific?

[@Codacolor]

Once I hit a critical mass of shot rolls, I swing through the nearest post office and mail my film to State Film Lab in Louisville KY. They're my lab of choice.

[@hollucinations]

Pb&j heaven

[@Codacolor]

If you were there!

[@Magneira]

What's the namw of the song in the start of the video?

[@priimix-sandro2212]

This should have a million views. But be sure my view counts as a thousand because I inhaled every second of your video.

[@Codacolor]

That means the world to me. Thank you.

[@HanerCress]

Dude you want to make me buy a camera! AWESOME

[@Codacolor]

You should!!

[@nondisgioldasis1477]

PS. i see where they are ;D, so you are in California now are you heading north bro?

[@MrKtmberm]

Is that a mamiya 6?

[@gokuldev500]

Can you do a video on how u colour grade

[@Codacolor]

Consider it up for consideration!

[@nondisgioldasis1477]

hi Cody where is this place? by the way is your van a v6 or v8? this places are going on my to do list thanks bro till next time like i all ways say "live free or die trying " ;)

[@Codacolor]

V6! and yes, you should definitely visit!

[@ginnydicecco1410]

Where is my beautiful daughter!

[@Codacolor]

I believe she was with you at the time!

[@MaxMcCoy1]

Day 243. Still upset about the immaculate ever-improving quality of Cody’s videos. Everything he creates is a movie… meanwhile I’m trying to figure out how to get the smell of dog crap off my shoes. He goes to some pretty special places, though I’m sure it’s some sort of CGI effect…not sure places like that exist and I know Cody can be full of shit when it comes to nature. Anyway, looks better than the city. My car got broken into last night by a homeless man and I ended up thanking him for making it quick. The contrast between Cody & I continues to spiral me into deep depression. That’s all for now. Will write back soon. Looking bleak.

[@Codacolor]

Haha. Just that comment itself demonstrates your abilities as a storyteller. Love you brother

[@andrew_aden]

looks like my life sucks

[@thebope32]

Wow, this is videography, not photography
