A pure talented KZbinr right here ladies and gentlemen.

[@VegardThefilmmaker]

He's going places

[@Kaletekst]

where abouts?

[@VegardThefilmmaker]

KanePanić I don`t know where. Can`t predict the future. But his talent will get him somewhere :)

[@JRAlli]

A short film dedicated to my city, Toronto and all that it has given me. This video took months to make and edit but it all came together in the end. We're so close to 10k subscribers, that is just insane. I really hope you enjoy this short film and I have so many adventures from this summer to share with you. Thanks again ❤

[@SamirPatnaik]

Genius work! JR. This brought me out of a reverie of consuming ordinary everyday videos.

[@VegardThefilmmaker]

One day we need to make something together. They would be an honor

[@JRAlli]

thank you Samir! :)

[@JRAlli]

The greatest sound design of a youtube short film ever.

[@LittleMissCrista]

So good! Toronto is where I'm from so this gave me all the feels ♥

[@JRAlli]

[@kaitmalone]

This perfectly encapsulates Toronto. I grew up here, too, and I've walked the streets in this video and you captured the vibe!

[@naflye3]

I miss toronto .. I love your video thank you

[@SandyDeshpande]

Toronto is fast becoming a hub for talented KZbinrs. Peter McKinnon, Matti Happoja, and now JR Alli. Top Stuff!!

[@SandyDeshpande]

I am late to this channel

[@alwayscreatingio]

you channel should blow up really quick.

[@JeremyGallman]

In-freaking-sane dude. Sound design. Transitions & video techniques. Everything!!!

[@jameswills8061]

Jr this is incredible! I thought your previous videos were so good and you could not get better but wow this was something else man! I have never seen editing as neat as this! Amazing.

[@JRAlli]

truly truly appreciate it James, thank you :))

[@jamesallen]

I've watched countless videos on KZbin and I can honestly say this was one of the greatest edits I've ever seen

[@Nikita_Brus]

People complain a lot about the city. I admit to complaining from time to time as well. But I dont think I would want to live anywhere else but Toronto.

[@kusholutoin]

still today this is one of the best edits on KZbin. Props to you JR Alli

[@YoussefVlogs]

good job bro

[@jazzie4959]

Work of art; here are the first words which come to my mind after having watched this breathtaking short film. Congratulations!

[@CameronFurnivalWatling]

Where do you get the whooshing sound effect?

[@VegardThefilmmaker]

And how do it get edited?

[@CameronFurnivalWatling]

A bullet shot reversed makes a similar sound.

[@baranyikristof5319]

was searching for the same thang

[@adamreynosa4792]

He uses adobe after effects

[@ajuk7663]

its a reversed kick

[@studiom968]

You are a beast man. Watching your videos is extremely inspiring

[@JRAlli]

honored that i can be source of inspiration, thank you Michael :)

[@SomeDudeFromHeaven]

talented...But too much transitions which make my emotional flow stopped multile times

[@sababujones2898]

Transitions transitions transitions with the sound effects 😷🥶✊🏾

[@missmalia02]

This is incredible oh my god. this is why I love photography and videography and KZbin.

[@wearewriters4906]

I appreciate the work and tremendous effort you put into the sound and ambience of your movie.

[@alliechow6427]

this video was AMAZING. the sound effects, the camera work, the transitions, all of it was great!

[@mashaelalghamdi9064]

This video really describes me. I love Toronto more than anything else, more than back home.. I found my happiness here. unfortunately I got college acceptance in vancouver then I moved. until now i’m struggling, I can’t accept this sleepy city, and people treated me differently. I’m trying so bad the back to Toronto, I hope god help me.

[@JoaldoQueiroz]

Not only your editing is insane but on top of that the sound design is just magnificent

[@bisousxoK]

Man, it still doesn't go into my head how you only have less then 10.000 subscribers. You put so much work into your videos and each one is videography at its finest. Absolutely stunning work, keep it it up!

[@JRAlli]

thank you so much Lea, i just gotta keep working hard i guess :) much more to come!

[@Elena-jq9yi]
