[@annieeefotho]

Thanks for making the video guys!!! I really liked the concept, it reminded me of that childhood creativity which came about from letting our minds wander - before we all had iPhones 😅 It would be cool to see an artwork of the journey of a “coffee beans life cycle” - from its humble beginnings as a plant to a delicious cup of coffee 😊

[@HouseofGroms]

I’m glad you enjoyed it. Haha that sounds like a great concept!

I love tuning back in to stillness to see what comes up! Would be cool to see you create some art from the theme of balancing parenting & running your own biz. Would freaking love to win this comp!

[@HouseofGroms]

Great suggestion!

[@MikNick0]

Hi Kurt, the first minute of a video is one of the best intros and editing I've ever seen (and trust me, my OCD pays attention to all these cinematography KZbinrs ;)). Then, I'm not sure if the voice was too low or just recorded from the camera microphone (minutes 1-3). Anyways, good video, and can't wait for another one! Subjective art opinion: What a masterpiece!

[@samanthadavis8832]

Sooo what’s in the top secret notebook 👀👀 3:47

Haha 😅. Your attention to detail is amazing

[@jyeharris9772]

[@watercolourartincapetown2919]

I’m creatively numb... after an hour of mindless scrolling... social media sucks...

This video has epic skills. Thanks actually needed this, been scrolling mindlessly! Make some art go somewhere in nature with beautiful scenery capture it, perhaps a reminder be grateful for earth we are on

[@veronica.fashion]

Love it… as always, behind the scenes are my favourite videos, however what art work, I struggle with discipline and rely on motivation (motivation is so overrated 😅) this is the theme, and I don’t know lights and fire will fit here I guess (this idea for the execution )

[@neyisek6928]

Fun video. Brought something to my attention . My husband has been saying he's lost his creative spark/motivation he feels flat. It occured to me after the pandemic started for the first time he started using ifunny and such. Scrolling in down time or before bed. Also watching youtube for more than before. I'm going to mention to him about not scrolling & go back to how he was and see what happens. Thanks

[@HouseofGroms]

That sounds like a good idea. Hope it all kicks back in for him soon

The production of this video is absolutely mindblowing. And fhe fact that you made the thought process of being bored into actual art is insane and kind of a paradox pnenomenon?! Twisted my brain 😂 Loved it!!🤧🔥💥🎉

I appreciate your realness when it comes to your creative process. Burn out is tough especially after college and starting a new project can be the hardest part for me. This is a good reminder to produce art from within yourself simply for the joy of making art. Id love to hear about photographers/artists/styles that inspire you and how developed your style.

[@HouseofGroms]

Why thank you! Yeah, this happens to all of us we need time and experiences to inspire us to create something worth doing. I gain inspo from a lot of different things, movies, music, art, design. But I also find travel and sports like surfing a great place for me to get re-motivated!

[@maddi.m]

This was amazing! So clearly thought out, creative and little bit like old KZbin with the amount effort towards camera angles and transition ideas! Freakin loved it!!

When god puts what you need at the time in front of you… what a timing ! Hey, i don’t know if it is possible, but the art work I would love to see is « how to bring creativity in the corporate machine, in a traditional job ». Idea is to understand the thought process to put in place in order to get an outcome that is creative yet answering the traditional corporate world’s requirements

[@HouseofGroms]

God works in wonderful ways. I’m glad it resonated with you! That sounds like a nice challenge idea. I like it!

I guess I will be sitting in an empty room for the next hour or so. 😅 And wow, the transitions from one shot to another are absolutely amazing, well done! Love how much thought and effort you put in every single video, how we all get to witness your storytelling-skills and how you add your humor and personality into it all. Looking forward to your next video!

I was mesmerised by this video. I cannot wait to watch more videos from you coming hopefully soon, so thank you. As I am an absolutely beginner, I hope to see a simple "how to capture great views" video. Sometimes, when I am walking through a city or through nature, I see this picture in front of my eyes but don't know how to capture it. Do you know what I mean? Lot's of love from Germany x

[@HouseofGroms]

You just need to take your camera with you everywhere and capture photos. Time working on the craft is the best way to grow!

[@brooklynmort6023]

WOW. JUST WOW. THIS VID IS EVERYTHING KURT! thank you for sharing your many talents and words of wisdom . I have been watching you and sarah since sarah started youtube & it is so amazing how much you two have grown and accomplished! As much a a stranger can be... I AM SO PROUD OF YOU! Keep at that content. Because you are helping us out more than you know❤ I have a similar backstory to kurt in the way that i used to party alot and you and sarah have been amazing romodels for me throught the years, especally when i didnt really have a romodel to turn to in my personal life.

OML WAS THAT A LIFE OF WALTER MITTY REFERENCE I SAW HERE??

[@HouseofGroms]

[@tacallor]

Thanks for this. Would love some art work that speaks to the idea of doing less, being enough. I feel like there's so much pressure to "do" and "achieve" that sometimes we forget to just be! It's easy to forget that we're enough exactly as we are. We don't need to prove ourselves. Maybe someone will resonate with this! X

[@HouseofGroms]

Oooh I like this!

[@em-alice]

Your video productions are always so fun and entertaining because they truly take your eyes on an adventure! The next art piece you should create is something that would explain more of what exactly is a "house of groms"?

[@HouseofGroms]

Thankyou! Haha 😂 that would definitely be something weird and whacky 😂

[@ElysiaLloydJonesArt]

I absolutely loved the message behind this, and it was executed in such a brilliant and creative way! Can't wait to see more content like this from you! I'd love to see more film or photography related works based on the toxicity of technology some more tbh, I feel like it's a conversation that definitely needs to be talked about more, especially surrounding the damage it causes to our mental health with anxiety, depression, the exhaustion of how demanding replying online can be and body positivity, so many females and males are comparing themselves online and then end up with health issues like disordered eating because of social media.

[@HouseofGroms]

Yeah you’re right there can be a lot of negative results from it. I guess it all comes down to the type of content you are consuming. Definitely a much deeper discussion to be dove into.

[@laurenbrennan9235]

I love this so much. So inspiring! Artisticly numb definitely sounds better than me telling people I’m artisticly constipated 😂 Also LOVING this art piece! Would love to see more of it!

[@HouseofGroms]

Haha 😂 I wish I had said that!! Thank you!

[@judebrummett6605]

This was amazing! As someone who is in the process of starting my own business, I have to actively set time aside to let my brain wander and come up with creative ideas. It's so easy sometimes to get bogged down in the execution of projects and everyday tasks and not actually allow yourself to dream/imagine new things. And once you're done just working on all that stuff, it can be so easy to fall into habits of escapism or mindlessness because of how tiring it can be, instead of using that time more wisely to fuel the creative part of yourself. At the end of the day, not everything needs to be about the product, but we can learn to just enjoy the process of creating itself.

[@HouseofGroms]

Well said! 😊 thanks for watching

[@byemmakrebs]

Okay, this video is insane! 😍 Honestly such a creative masterpiece. I can't wait to watch it and to take in more of the details and thought process around this. So crazy that a small team can create these.

[@HouseofGroms]

Yeah that imposter syndrome cuts deep. It’s all good what I always say to myself is “I don’t need to be better than them, I need to be better than my last project!” Before you know it a few years have flown by and your work has surpassed those you once looked up to.
