Hi. I made this piece because I really believe in living by this ideology - hopefully you get it too now. A sponsor didn’t feel right for a video like this. It was a rather costly project though (bought a lens just for this and took two separate trips to France to film) so the BEST thing you can do to support is like the video and share it with anyone you think would enjoy. Huge thanks to my KZbin fam for helping with some of the shooting, their links are all in the description. See you soon for something (probably) a bit simpler :)

[@shinaayomibamgboye1887]

Before I got to 4 minutes of the video I was so sure that there will be no sponsored ad and even if there is the way you make it part of the video is creative (your simples ) thank you so much for this video. (oh yes I am sick of where I am ) that change happens today . "I don't need to be original I just need to be authentic" this is am taking

[@SkullsDev]

Heads up! Channel links in the description are messed up.

[@simpledesign-j3u]

I truly related to this video. Reflecting on my past and my aspirations, I see how much I’ve grown and what I’ve learned through this journey. This video not only brought clarity to my life but also helped me realize what I should be focusing on without comparing myself to others. I’ve been following you for a long time and I love your videos and your style of visual storytelling. I am eager to join your course once I complete my current work. Thank you so much Brother for your incredible content. Peace

[@sorajj]

I shared it with my entire agency editors))

[@jagannathswarandas4822]

Aww...you changed the thumbnail 😢😢😢😢

[@nathanieldrew]

This is on a completely different level.

[@Skymography]

thank you for the help as always :)

[@andresfelipeportilloomeara1816]

Totally agree !! cheers to your parents !

[@senzudude]

Nathaniel - the legend. Come home the kids miss you. 😂🙏

[@DodfordYT]

I am so inspired by you bro I can't even fathom it

[@Skymography]

🥰

[@gezfilms]

Imagine a Gawx Art x Skymography video = Pure art Make it possible, Sky!

[@nayan_sarania]

Absolutely needed🔥

[@sayeFX]

We need that

[@realquadyt]

"You don't need to be original, you just need to be authentic" hits hard.

[@kaiwan]

This video is an absolute masterpiece! The way you break down creativity as something accessible to everyone, not just artists, is incredibly inspiring. I love how you used the metaphor of gardening to explain the process of nurturing our own unique "simples" - it really resonated with me.

[@Skymography]

Thank you Kaiwan! It's great to hear you resonated with it :-)

[@CharleyPangus]

This is why I tell everyone about you. Nothing short of amazing. I left inspired, motivated and shocked at what I just witnessed. Sound design, story telling, color grade….everything 10/10 my friend. ❤

[@Skymography]

Thank you Charley!! I really appreciate you always supporting :)

[@TayoAinaFilms]

This was a breath of fresh air. Thanks for making this video ❤

[@Kalebianxd]

Hi Tayo, didn't expect you here haha

[@Skymography]

Thank you Tayo!

[@DharsanGotNoChill]

Dude if this video does'nt break the algo, I don't know what will Crazy stuff man, hats off🤯

[@Skymography]

thank you!!

[@safronthinks]

This video going to viral, thr amount of work done... Is awesome🎉

[@Ninnepinne12]

The thumbnail is absolutely beautiful

[@Skymography]

🙏🙏🙏

[@ahmedeisa1479]

It's fascinating how a lot of editors (including me), got into editing through making gaming or anime montages

[@Skymography]

There are SO many that got into it back then, it's amazing to see peers from back then still working in the field hahaha

[@usamatariq9897]

literally the AMV era made some of today's greatest animators I still remember showing friends the newest AMV i made on sony vegas

[@bystargazed]

dude saaaaame... my thing was Minecraft pvp montages...... crazy how that gave me the foundation of video editing and proactivity on Photoshop.. 10 years later, here we are

[@dnicoloco7]

fax me too]

[@insightsamuel]

Absolutely insane short film Sky! The visuals, the animation, the storytelling, the message, everything. Truly inspiring work!

[@chetaaron]

The flow between rhythm and editing you demonstrated helps explain why some editors just have that natural sense of timing. It's less about technical transitions and more about feeling the underlying patterns. Great way to explain how our earliest creative interests keep shaping everything that follows.

[@mikaelkristianedits]

10/10 - Phenomenal work. I don't comment on youtube videos ever. This one deserves it.

[@Skymography]

I love getting comments from people that don't comment, as someone that does the exact same haha. Thank you!!

[@meriwetherr]

this is so well paced. the story, editing, and transitions are top tier. holy

[@alaaes-samaki4563]

i say it before and i will say it again , one of the most underrated creator/editor in this planet , litteraly every video take you to another universe this is even better then any netflix series/show/docummentary , this ... this is a masterpiece

[@charlyzgheib]

Thank you for sharing your light with us sky ! what a gorgeous soul you are.

[@jesvs_music]

The Drew family is actually go down in the history books, every single one of them is a creative case of their own. Amazing.

[@ConceptCentral]

Good lord dude the cinematography in this one is insane

[@Skymography]

I told you this one was different hahaha

[@Avinash-q9x]

I honestly love your videos! You put in so much effort, and it's clear in every detail. It blows my mind how underrated you are-your content deserves way more recognition. Keep doing what you're doing; you're seriously one of the best out there!❤❤❤

[@Career-gd5vc]

I'm speechless on the level of production done to achieve this ! Superb work

[@nahom144]

This was so inspiring Bro. Thank you for putting your time into this. One of the hardest thing to do as a creative is to keep it simple and take baby steps. Big aspirations can sometimes be our greatest downfall. Thank you for the reminder!!

[@Skymography]

Thank you very much Nahom!! This means a lot to me, seriously. I put everything I could into this project so for it to be even just a little inspiring to you makes me happy. Best of luck on your creative journey! 🙏

[@sneaky_1]

This is something else ! This type of content cannot be even seen at Netflix 🔥

[@L1DV-Official]

I'll be honest, I've been waiting for this vid for some time, and it absolutely shattered my expectations... Your a huge inspiration for me and for the kind of art I aim to produce... I hold this new piece of yours close to heart, and I'll never forget it as long as I create... Thank you so much sky❤💐

[@Skymography]

Thank you! I wish I could create these faster but alas, proper art takes time

[@vhadianv]

Literally a movie, absolutely amazing piece of art! I aspire to be this skilled one day!

[@azeezbek]

I must watch this masterpiece couple more times to comprehand the beauty

[@batakve]

you are definitely my favorite video editor man, I learn so much from you, one day I need to surpass your level

[@viveksrujanakulapally7434]

This video spoke to me, from the past year I’ve started designing and I never really got anywhere when thought about something or tried to create something, but my creativity flows when I started to think about my life, decisions, my choices, in the simplest things, all answers I ever was running to find were within myself, I feel everyone has a different approach to achieve that state, the real answer is, you’ve got to do it enough to find.

[@emmuahae]

I'm literally stunned. I've never seen a video like this before. I'm an editor and I've been struggling for a while on how to tell a story and hook viewers. I was just closing youtube for the day, feeling not so good and then this video pops up. Thank you so much for making this video. You have no idea how much this helps

[@Skymography]

Love to hear it -- best of luck with your editing!!

[@pratiksaha6314]

Your videos are so inspiring to me. From sound design, script, editing, pacing, visuals- everything is just perfect! You're designed to be one of the greats on this platform. ❤

[@intween]

I have no idea why this video hasn't broken the Internet! It's like some movie I randomly found, and I’m overwhelmed by it.

[@Skymography]

hahaha thank you, maybe eventually it’ll pick up!

[@khaleeqbhatti696]

Now I’m just waiting for someone to make a video on “How to make videos like Skymography”. Your content is just so ridiculously amazing, I can’t even describe its perfection!

[@thaynaracristina1098]

Wow! This is simply a piece of art. Watching this video inspires me so much!

[@Rebirth.mp4]

bro got me wanting to take notes

[@jaafarbekri]

Honestly, I felt everything you did and said in the video. The first time I watched it, I just thought, "Wow," without even fully understanding the topic. After watching it a few more times, I realized you were addressing exactly the struggles I’ve been facing. Honestly, the storytelling is insanely well done, and even though no one expected it, the quality is straight-up documentary-worthy.

[@VanniVsTheWrld]

insane, this is exactly what i needed to hear.

[@toby.demoss]

I love this, Sky! Thank you. You're making me rethink my core creative gifts. Drumming? No. Rhythm. Editing? No. Visual storytelling. Question asking? No. Seeking answers. Songwriting, poetry, drawing? No. Creative expression. Am I getting the idea? And then it seems you mix and match your different simples (aka rhythm and visual storytelling) to make amazing stuff that only you can make (aka this video). So for me, that might be question-asking until a song/poem/art piece spills out. (But it can take infinite forms as we morph and explore.) Is that the idea? If I'm missing something I'd love to know. Thanks for expressing yourself so authentically. I really enjoy your videos; the cinematography on this one was absolutely delightful. I learn more about myself each time. Cheers!

[@dasha_petrova808]

Thank you for sharing with us, Sky! It is always scary to try new things or change your life completely, but sometimes it's the best decisions we can do for ourselves. Also the visuals are🔥

[@satyarsharma]

Very refreshing video. Story telling and production is amazing. Great job sir🫡

[@PlanoAmericanoYT]

This feels like it shouldn’t be free

[@Skymography]

I love this compliment hahahah

[@BrianAriyo]

This is insane Sky, A gem to be saved for eternity.

[@Ayush.Mohanty]

No way! This has to be out on everyone's algorithm. Seriously with edits, cinematography & SFX, it is indeed a masterpiece. Nurturing one's 'Simples' - seeded the idea by the analogy was great!

[@nypier]

wow this video was insane. the visuals, sound design, and most definitely the story. I had goosebumps throughout this entire video haha.

[@xdtants]

wow, i never comment on youtube videos but this- is incredible work. the form, the message everything is done so well, thank you for sharing this

[@Vislumbrium]

WTF did I just watched! Was not expecting this vid to be so amazing. Congrats man!!

[@xiim1320]

I DON'T KNOW HOW BUT YOUR STORY IS LITTERALY MY STORY! great job man I enjoyed every second and gonna watch your videos at a closer angle from now on

[@animacrusity]

I can not agree more with your perspective .you content just inspires me to learn more about editing .keep the good work coming bro

[@leofarmershee]

This is awesome and very relatable, really like you man you’re a genuine one

[@kizo-niklas]

still criminally underrated channel. This is the second time where I found a video of yours during a lunch break, where I just wanted to have something play in the background, but then got completely immersed in your storytelling. Crazy, insanely good!!!

[@Skymography]

Thank you!!!

[@troyomisor]

Sky you're an absolute beast! Your content inspires me, please keep doing what you're doing.

[@sumincreates]

You are one of the most inspiring creator out there!

[@akat0nus]

hope this gets the recognition it deserves

[@superherosenpai]

bro i thought i was watchig a movie or something. you're really good at every aspect of film-making.

[@philip.speidel]

This is amazing mate. Absolutely love the work and storytelling. True inspiration

[@DanWriter-lw4kj]

Man what a skill of story telling you posses. this video hits different I love it

[@I_am_mr_maverick]

I get hyped every time Sky drops a new vid. Keep going, don't stop momentum, and you'll be the best, man.

[@Safwaan]

I cannot imagine what this timeline looks like

[@Skymography]

The timeline isn't the scary part. It's the After Effects project file o.O

[@speakeasy4544]

peak cinema of youtube. bravo, you're amazing.

[@tegaralamsah]

Insane, Sky! Thank you for this masterpiece! ❤

[@IkeDesign]

Awesome. I fully resonate with the message as a graphic designer who's battled with creativity and where to take my life for years. I'm sending this to my friends and hoping their own journey becomes a little lighter to bear with this in mind. Great job with the edit, Sky. It's a masterpiece.

[@Skymography]

Thank you Ike :)

[@orlovklim]

pure art form of the storytelling. Good job g

[@silviasguotti]

Love both the video and the message Sky! A lot of value in just 10min!

[@mohammedhajomar4400]

I never saw such good montage skills in my life

[@MriduNeog]

This is a Masterpiece! ❤

[@rakibulhasan7701]

bro.. it feels like i just watched a movie. you really motivate me to become a better editor. thank you so much. i would love to see more from you

[@JhbTeam]

This tickles my feathers. Great video Sky!

[@Skymography]

thank you James! (and for the gifs too)

[@conbrochill]

Yes buddy! so exciting to see your story telling explode with your sick skilllzzzzz

[@CinematicCroissant]

Your ideas are so good. Everything you showed us in this video, it's remarkable. The way you view things is why you're so incredible

[@kirubanraj6834]

This felt like a roller coaster 😮 this is an masterpiece.

[@golududpuri8656]

Wow! what a way of putting everything, surreal, amazing, goosebumping, inspiration you are.

[@KingCharge]

Only thing this video is missing is a nice 4 minute brand deal midroll, that being said this is pure art and should be eligible to win some sort of award. Another amazing piece as per usual

[@Skymography]

Reuploading with a Stake integration brb

[@usamatariq9897]

Always in awe - great work again sky 😩💪

[@heartasarena]

Completely next level. Mindblowing is an understatement. Thanks so much for making this

[@Skymography]

nono thank YOU for your reaction vid 🤣 genuinely made my night watching that

[@olvrs]

actually top tier quality content i can't believe this is free

[@shervinxv5969]

Watching your videos wakes something deep inside my mind. I don't know what it is, I don't even know if it's real, but I feel nostalgic. I feel like I want to be there, in your scenes. I love what you're doing. I don't comment with my main channel, but I'm in a complete different niche and seeing this video makes me want to do what you're doing in my own niche. You're so inspirational. keep it up!

[@Skymography]

that's amazing to hear. I urge you to go for it, whatever it is! Thank you for the lovely comment

[@jorgenleangen]

Thank you man - this was exactly what I needed!!!

[@andresfelipeportilloomeara1816]

My friend you are a truly inspiration .

[@nafiusaifi15]

Bro will become the new YT genre, loved every bit of it

[@nameLLLL]

Before watching the video, I prepared tea and biscuits. But once I started watching the video, I couldn't tear myself away from it even to take the biscuits. I think that speaks volumes ❤

[@Skymography]

HAHA this is a very creative way of saying you liked the video, I love it. Thank you for sharing :D

[@EAZYGalvan]

this video is the definition of a masterpiece

[@Michaeltobba]

Honestly this is exactly what I needed

[@MotionArrayTutorials]

Dude, you are KILLING IT! 🙌 This top tier!

[@Skymography]

thank you !!

[@BanSheeB]

After Animations, Sky is taking over the niche of Cinematic Videos, absolute 🐐.

[@mandelbro1]

Damn.... this is beautiful, Sky!

[@nannimwuyep]

I'm a simple person. I see a new video from Sky, I watch like, comment and share. This video is out of this world!

[@Skymography]

my fav, thank you !

[@mazenh2937]

This video is a true work of art✨

[@Drixterx]

I seriously can't believe I'm friends with someone this talented. good fucking shit man, I can see the hard work put into this (majority of it at least). also loved the uncharted reference ahahaha

[@maxwellcaincreative]

Sky this video was genuinely one of the best videos i've seen on KZbin. The visuals, sound effects, colors, everything was so good. But, you telling your story helping all of us learn how to navigate our own creativity was the real treat. Thank you for sharing, you are my favorite KZbinr..

[@Skymography]

Thank you Max! It's been fun to chat with you about KZbin stuff behind the scenes, I'm glad you got to see this finally

[@RubiksEdits]

So proud of how far you’ve come, this was beautiful

[@Skymography]

ily Rubiks, it's actually amazing you're still following (especially for this vid since I spoke about UC)

[@orenfilms]

Quality content, it must have taken so much effort to make. i really like the glowing orb effect and grass drone shot.

[@JUGGALOKEMON]

This is amazing bro. I got really choked up when those uncharted clips flashed before my eyes. Truly some of the greatest times in my life. The uncharted fam is proud of you homie 👊

[@Dr.X_]

People like Sky, Gawx and Dodford make YT a better place. Thank you, guys!

[@adamkovaac]

this is just sick. you left me speechless.

[@nemovskyy]

Dude, you're absolutely INSANE! I'm so glad that Mapal showed your tutorial in some of his old vids. You're growing quick man! And you're such an ispiration and a good guy to motivate yourself to do what you love, even if you can't make money of it yet. Keep going, like i said in prev videos, and can't wait to see more!

[@Skymography]

thank you, and shoutout to Mapal forreal

[@CNoel]

Easily the best 10 minutes I've ever spent watching something in my ENTIRE LIFE. Just wow...

[@Skymography]

hahaha

[@0005yuki]

this video laid out a lot of my thoughts - being a beginner freelance video editor is terrifying! i look up to you and your skills a lot, so thank you man! :D

[@HamedTavakoli-m9h]

That was a wonderful documentary of Creativity

[@work_by_solo7394]

This is beautiful, mentally and visually

[@owalibulaya]

I'm really not good in video editing and sound design to an extent of I can't even be engaged in my videos but I really want to be good. This guy is my inspiration I'll get there soon. See you at the top bro.

[@alifilmstuff]

Oh my God. I had to lean back in my chair after this one. This is a life changing video. Never mind the PERFECT visuals and filmmaking, this ideology speaks to me. As someone who also plays the drums, and also pursues creating, the words reached me, DEEP. This is what people deserve to watch when they want to consume media. If I had to show everyone in the world ONE video. It would be this one. Extraordinary work Skylar. Looking forward to the next (can you even top this?!).

[@Skymography]

Thank you Ali!! You know I've been asking myself the same question. I don't expect to top it in the next handful of videos, but that's on purpose. Next time I decide to take on making a film like this it'll be a proper event
