if only life WAS a movie.

[@TreyLefevre]

Dude, this is fantastic. Composition on point. Locations on point. Story on point. Entire film on point.

[@KeeganRobin]

“Comfort doesn’t create adventure” that one hit hard dude.

[@dylanridsdale]

Dude this is incredible! Pure art

[@JakeFrew]

Thanks so much Dylan! Appreciate you man!

[@Cypher_pt.5]

I don't know how the youtube algorithm works but man these shots, these cinematics, the script everything is on point. Felt like a perfect movei to mee.... wish it wasn't that short...!!!

"When it comes to life the critical thing is whether you take things for granted or take them with gratitude" G.K. Chesterton. I take you and your life with gratitude. You rock Jake!

[@JakeFrew]

Judon!! Thanks so much! That's an awesome quote, love you bro!

[@estebanrestrepo9256]

Story over everything else. While it's exciting to talk about gear, story is without a doubt what makes a short film great. This is great, Jake. Please, make more of these, you're inspiring.

[@edikristo3227]

These points are brutal my man, BRUTAL. It's such a great idea and even better execution. I'm really really impressed how You described the absurd of comfort in our lives. #standingOvation

[@EthanWhit]

WOW. That was actually so beautiful man! From the story, to the cinematography... Just so perfect. You've been my inspiration for so long, and you NEVER fail to impress me with each video!

[@Warlockjw]

Dude that’s completely fire 🔥 best video I’ve seen this year from ANY creator out here!! The composition, the cut, the aspect ratio, the COLOURS!!! Just insane🔥🔥🚀

[@kateellareyes]

This is definitely be one of my favorites! Lately, I have been living my life in a way that would look appealing to other people rather than me, and it consumes me so much. I thought pleasing them is what I want, but then I realized, pleasing myself is what I needed, and this video helped me with that as there is this part in the video where you kind of say that "you want to be an interesting character, so you will probably spend less time comparing yourself to other peope or scrolling through your phone, and spend more time embracing all of the weird part of yourself". There's nothing else to lose if I spend less time online. And with those words and your existence make me believe that you can do so much better if you begin to focus on yourself, on what matters to you, and on what fuels your inner creativity rather than wasting it to something that you will never benefit from. Ilysm. ❤️

[@Greenlights111]

Jake I sent this video to like 5 of my closest friends this morning. The coolest video that really just puts me in a mindset to embrace life and the journey along the way. Thank you for being such a raw and authentic creator. I hope to be like you one day ❤

[@juansarasua]

Beautiful piece! This is the type of content that should be out more in this platform, this is art, this is expression, this is a mix of emotions in 2 minutes, this is relatable, this is what people should be consuming more. Thank you for your art.

[@GESTEofficial]

Really great cinematography, video and sound editing, and ultimately great message. Puts life into perspective. And love the little parkour ;)

[@mtb_alan]

If our lives were movies, that'd be a LOT of editing. 😆

[@JakeFrew]

oooff, great point. Hard pass on that edit 😂😂

[@dudebro4089]

The passion he has for video flows through the screen man...

[@csm_sounds]

That last part with the same angle was genius! Your work is awesome. Self filming this one?

[@KennoCaptures]

So simple, so pure, so effective! Really enjoyed this Jake. Felt a spike in inspiration. Keep it up!

[@karibernhard]

I zoned out at "comfort doesn't create adventure". Not that it's a bad thing; it just made me reflect. Thank you for thought provoking videos Jake! P.S. scrolled back to mid point to listen in what you had to say. Stellar job as always!

[@JamesGWall]

Some of these shots are stunning

[@a.nveshh]

well written story

[@muhammedjehfer4334]

I keep coming back to this video over and over again. It’s seriously influential to me. My life has been feeling a lot more like a movie in the best way possible, and genuinely, it’s been amazing. I can’t wait for the next arc that’s about to start 🫶🏽🧡🩵❤

Jake this was seriously beautiful. Truly man thank you

[@WavesNGames]

Everyone has at least one movie moment in their life.

[@SoogySploogy]

As someone who's spent nearly as much on fingerboards as I have camera bodies, those fingerboard clips really hit close to home.

[@timonrubbert]

I love it 🥹 the cinematography, the story, everything. It’s so beautiful. You speak me from my heard 🙏🏼

[@pauljakeman]

This was such a great video again. Always a good day when you upload Jake. Deffo wish my life was more like a movie, maybe with Brian blessed narrating it. Great stunts btw

[@Wolfedtw]

The composition in this piece is just amazing! And so inspirational to boot! Great piece.

[@wren5291]

I'm currently going through a rather morbid adventure which ironically does kind of feel like a movie, and I'm feeling very uncomfortable with it because of it. But you're absolutely right, I am seeing A LOT of interesting perspectives and moments in between. Thanks Jake, for your awesomeness.😊❤🌌ilysmt.

[@JakeFrew]

Ah I'm so sorry to hear that 🖤 hang in there! I appreciate you!

[@georgiagalaxy]

I’ve felt the same way until today 💗✨

Beautiful shots man! Definitely keen to try this lens out🔥

[@JoeyHoogendoorn]

Chuckled at 0:56. This was put together really well!

[@lucrichter]

Damn this speaks straight out of my soul, probably the best 2:18minute film ever... ngl

[@abdulwaqar1707]

Dude you got great editing skills. I for sure wanna learn from you if possible.

[@fercortes1d]

Thanks for creating this Jake! Your videos are so inspiring. Cheers from 🇲🇽

[@yamanpanchal]

Loved it brother ✨ Just wanted to let you know that I love our small interaction on Instagram every Christmas ✨ Also that I watch your videos on a regular basis. Specially these 3 videos: 1) Not motivated? Do This 2) Van Build Part 1 3) Van Build Part 2 Whenever I don't feel motivated or couldn't find the urge to get out of a rut every once in a while, I play these 3 videos. This helps me instantly to do the work and feel awesome to do the creative stuff. I watch your videos like 4-5 times a week, Irrespective to the need of motivation or anything. And I've been watching these for past 3+ years. I reason I watch these 3 videos is, I feel deeply connected with you, your journey at that time of building your van, feeling that moment. That help me to feel the same in my life, like I am in same moment with my work. Through these video I feel like I am so connected with you, feeling like I've been living with you in the neighbourhood, like we are friends for a long time, and I love that. Thank you so much for creating such amazing videos and thank you for inspiring me. You means a lot to me, Love you brother 🤜🤛 Keep Creating📸

[@JouniJuhani]

The aspect ratio is insane. But I definitely love it!

[@ilovetelephoto]

I love this video this is most cinematic video I have ever seen this year.

[@JUSTOAK]

Thanks for the great message! Neat! Love it! Life has meanings, but it depends on how we value it.

[@gavinpuhala3285]

1:11 what a perspective

[@lopes.altamiro]

Amazing lens! I expected it to be more expensive just judging by the quality

[@miloklassen3792]

Beautiful film. Thank you sir. Your work inspires people.

[@jennacallahan1]

🫶🏻 love your storytelling, Jake. As always. 🤗 This was beautifully made.

[@muhammaduzair9432]

Incredible and mesmerizing. Composition, story, film everything is creative and perfect. PURE ART.

[@saarboi]

Been watching your work for a long time man, you've only gotten consistently better and it's awesome to see!

[@pascalbraendle]

dayuuuum my guy you did an amazing job on this! I've recently used this lens on a shoot and it was such an amazing and new situation to use since it behaved a lot different than spherical lenses. Well done brother 🤘🏻 you're making amazing content!

[@OCAIOF]

Your videos are so satisfying to watch! I fell so good after this!

[@ivanatrifunovic2908]

Every video of you is a huge pleasure to watch and always bring great reflections. You work is sooo inspiring, keep it up!

[@crewscotton]

Dude, this is the best thing ive seen in a while. New sub.

[@nordic_vfx]

great art like always :3 This video touches me kinda hard. Because especially in the last weeks I was thinking a lot about.. "how could my life look like instead of this right now - would I be happier with different stuff?" and also kinda got bored of some rusty every week & day same activities & habits or even hobbies. So atm I try different little changes in my day to day life and they make me happy, but when I think on this bigger picture: maybe work for some months/years in other countries and stuff like that I'm freaking scared. To be alone, maybe feeling lost etc. :( Not sure what to do from here on but your video gave me little ... new perspective I would say. thanks anyway for the beautiful visuals as always

[@JakeFrew]

Whatever you decide, you got this 🤘🖤 Thanks for the kind words!

[@TuckerPearce]

Oh man Jake, I hope you don't doubt yourself and your skills. I know we all do, it's just the way life is. This was by far one of the most enjoyable things I have watched all week. Been on vacation / a quick medical emergency and somehow missed this one in my notifications. Thanks for sharing your life and creativity with us. It's always fun to watch. Oh and I hope the van is ok.

[@MiguelCreditoTalks]

I'm so glad I found you man. I love your storytelling! ♥

[@ItsbeenPhill]

Thanks for sharing your art with us. I love your style of art, it feels like a movie, a story full of creativity. I really admire your film making and I wish you the best on your goals and aspirations. Your awesome man!

[@beckybokeh]

So beautifully shot ❤ I’ve been looking at the BMPCC 6K Pro - obviously the lack of AF would be hard if I was doing KZbin videos in front of the camera

[@nvi_]

i absolutely love this. keep creating

[@negarnkhaee]

Your videos are more than INCREDIBLE Jake!!😍❤️ Watching them is one of my favorites! 🪐

[@weewee747]

[@lopes.altamiro]

I have never seen a video with that crop ever here on KZbin haha. Awesome work dude

[@JakeFrew]

Thanks so much!! Haha ya it's pretty wild, that's the native aspect ratio that the Sirui lens shoots in but I love it!

[@losthumanbeeing8753]

[@razashoaib.6]

Damn! Man your content is so good.The story telling the cinematography everything is just amazing ❤

[@TravelWithTats]

WHOA! What timeline resolution did you edit this in? Was this ever phenomenal. Story and composition wise. Why it's not at a million view yet boggles me.

[@Skapo]

Beautiful work man

[@christerdyn]

Found this after watching Danny Gevirtz. Inspired me to go make something myself. Really great stuff man!
