For those still figuring it out

[@BaileytheIllustrator]

This is not just a video, this is a FILM dude. I was taken on a JOURNEY.

[@flyingknee23]

i’m high on 4/20 watching this 😊and i’m still figuring it out. i’m 26. no job, but since it’s hard to find me a simple job around here… it pushed me to go back to school. i don’t want to feel this feeling anymore. i have no support from my family but my wife and that’s all that matters. i’m still alive because of her. I hope I can make my wife proud one day for not giving up on me yet.

[@Jstyle_visual]

Let’s go bro new goals new journey there’s more than one way to success if going back to school helps you achieve this then go for it I’m sure its way better than feeling stuck I wish you all the best

Bro made a movie and a speech look so easy, and said it with a swish of perfection. Proud of bro for chasing what he thrives the most, best inspiration a person can get 💯

Ive been noticing recently that a lot of my favourite art, especially in music, I don't understand. And thats WHY I like it. because it feels like the artist wrote it for them not for me, not to make it palatable or consumable- and I can find my own meaning in it but the ambiguity that comes from (for lack of a better word) 'selfish" art is so much more interesting. Ive started trying to really tune in to what I WANT to do instead of what I think I should do, and the more I explore that the more I feel that I am creating work that feels like my own. I've discovered a motto that has really progressed my art style and ideas: 'if it's boring only do it on purpose" - if I feel bored at an point while drawing, I acknowledge it and then make a conscious decision whether to change it up so its less boring, or lean into the boredom because I actually want what I it will accomplish. For example the other day I was drawing a person, and I was doing my usual habit of putting effort and energy into drawing the face, the pose etc, but when I got to drawing the hair I felt bored, thinking 'I don't know what hairstyle to do', at which point I usually just scribble in some messy lines and move on. But then I thought - this is my art, this is my house, I can do what I want - so now when I feel like that I will do an intentional scribble in a different colour as abstract hair, or I will draw a cloud as hair or vines and leaves, or floating hair. it seems so simple now that I say it but the more I do it the more I find new areas of my art to implement it. The other half of this approach is doing boring things on purpose, so sometimes I'll look at the drawing and think ' no, I actually want proper hair here because it's what I want out of this drawing, and so I will consciously put in effort to creating realistic and well drawn hair. Using this approach and combining the two methods of acknowledging boredom in my work has made it much more representative of my own mind and style, and has made me a lot more playful and exited in the stuff I make. I hope this can help or inspire someone :)

Im 39 and this is still true. Well said man. Very well said. Thank you for making this video.

[@tusharchaudhary6496]

you wont believe for how many hours i searched for your channel today for this same video. i started going through all filmmaking videos just to find your channel somehow. ive put it in my notes even though ive learnt it( except for last name), just because you are awesome man

[@chouaibsenhaji]

What in the world have I just discovered !!!! Dude each word, each shot, each meaning that describes exactly my life, specially a part I'm living everyday but not conscious of. Dude thank you for this videos !!

[@RileyAndTheStarlights]

Wow, beautifully put! My parents have told me figuring out what you don’t like is equally as if not more important than finding what you do like. And I’ve really been embracing the just do it mentality as I start to launch a music passion project I’ve been working on for years! Thank you for a great video and motivation!

[@minytaur]

"you are exactly where you need to be right now" i love that, and you are correct because i got to experience this videos beautiful colors and quality on my 4k Laptop OLED screen. So props for that!

[@Universemyview]

How beautifully you described how we all are just figuring out things, just making them work. Loved each and every frame of this video 😍

[@Taz66]

Instant follow, this was such a vibe, so well edited, the pacing...just perfect! Feeel very inspired right now, thanks man!

[@KristaIreneArt]

It doesn't matter how old you are, even in midlife you are still trying to figure it out. Do what you love, follow your passion and don't be afraid to take chances with your career especially when you are younger.

[@melaniegriesemer]

Love this video. In high school and college I hated the question what I wanted to do for the rest of your life as if I had to have it all figured out at such a young age. I love this attitude of "just try it!" Why can't that be an acceptable answer? Just try things and it's ok! It's about not knowing, but doing something anyway. Great message.

[@JohnLukeCalderon]

Right!!!!! Thank you so much :)

[@mojoro24]

dude.... killer. really a great video. Great writing, delivery and the production of the movie... the colors, the music, it really resonated with me. Well done, sir. I needed to hear this today. Thank you for making it.

[@LyricOnTheBeat]

This is the video I absolutely needed to see 🙏🏼

[@aaronlamarwalker]

well that was beautiful. I really needed this

[@trizzinc]

i may be a few months late to this amazing video... but very well said. This video popped up for me for a reason and it was much needed! Cheers to your journey

[@Binoooo]

Stumbled across ur channel randomly and im glad I did. Content is amazing!

[@abayevsuleyman]

it is absolutely at another level man, i'm 24 and really i also not figured out yet. i have bachelor's degree on electronics, i tried graphic designer, i tried 3d visualisation, and i love to take photos and videos. but has no job yet. hello from city of marbles.

[@nannimwuyep]

Our stories are quite similar. Im 24, studied Physics Education (not my plan). Started Graphic Design 2 years ago and I'm currently editing KZbin videos. Would love to try photography someday but hey, we're still figuring it out.

[@billyjoesarangelo1608]

I felt like I was watching a short movie. Keep doing what your doing. Your videos are amazing that gives value to other people like me.

[@timspisar]

You’re so awesome dude. You’re coming out with such good videos so often. So inspiring 🙌

[@JohnLukeCalderon]

Thank you brotha!!!!

[@sungkeh]

goddaamn, what a touching video!!

[@BigRedx208]

This was a great reminder and perfectly said! There's not a concrete, definite answer, but just keep trying!

[@jaketrevathan]

DUDE THIS IS AN ABSOULTE SMASHING FILM.... THE REALSEST VID IVE EVER SEEN... honestly dude I'm surprised apple or someone big hasnt reached out to you to film videos for them.

[@jpard.s]

Jon you really inspire me. I “tried”watching your videos, and one things for sure. I fucking love them

[@JohnLukeCalderon]

Thank you so much man!!!!! :)))

[@petezach7839]

Thank you. You have no idea how much this genuinely helped me. Thank you for always trying new things sir.

[@AsvathMadhan]

bro u are beyond underrated this video is gold keep doing great!

[@JustJosh38]

Literally was having this convo with my mom this morning, 22 not sure what I'm really doing but I try everything. I recently got a job offer that would be desk job (which I think i'd hate) but also wanna get better at videography and travel down that road to see where it takes me as an entrepreneur. Confused but this video sums it up perfectly. Needed to hear this bro

[@CaseyDarwin]

Awesome, subscribed. I can attest, this is all still applicable at 45 years old. I commend you for looking outward and engaging with the world. I think that's one of the most valuable things anyone can do.

[@StillSouce]

A "MrBeast" type video will get millions+ views with little to no actual value to apply to life. Videos like yours John Luke are not only criminally underrated, but DO NOT receive the attention they deserve! There has got to be a change here on the platform and i'm here for it!! Subbed to you my guy keep killing it!

[@JohnLukeCalderon]

Yo this means so much man 🥲, thank you!!!!!!!!!

[@petezach7839]

What’s funny enough, I clicked off a Mr beast auto played video to watch this! The algorithm is working brother trust

Quick question gang cus I love this and I wanna start making videos soon of this type, so do you script first and then grab footage? Vice versa? Or is it dependent on how the ideas come to you?
