Not many will understand the effort and expertise that went into this almost 7 minute video. This is monumental and if I ever have to show people what the southwest is like in less than 7 minutes or less, I'm sending them here. Amazing work.

We need a 'Love' button because the Like button doesn't cut it

[@ClarityOffGrid]

Just found your channel from watching Peter McKinnon. We live and film here in the southwest. We make off-grid living and van life traveling videos. So, I'm inspired by your work and your channel and your van - so cute!. I don't shoot film (anymore - that's all we old folks used to have. I appreciate your dedication to making beautiful, inspiring, and quality videos. We need more of those. That's not easy on KZbin. It's lovely to see the success you're having. Thanks!

[@teelafia]

You always give us viewers the feels with your videos! Giving us a feeling of awe as we watch every single slide of your work. Amazing, as always!

[@ian_noh]

Bro you inspire me so much I just want you to know. Thank you for all the photos and videos you take and being one of the inspirations for me to pursue taking photos. I hope one day the photos I take can be just as amazing as yours. Sincerely, Ian Noh

[@hollucinations]

Just revisiting this video- as i do when i miss you - and brewing up ideas for #5…these ~6 minutes always brings me to tears

[@ellenmitchell3174]

You sweat each detail but the end result is a masterpiece that is peaceful, awe inspiring gorgeous and humbling all at the same time….. I love this!

[@DanKleinow]

I've been living in the town of Moab for almost a year and this captures the area so well. Really loved this film!

[@MakersTeleMark]

These are very good. You've gotten so much better. Right on. Psyched for you and Holly.

[@peteb5461]

Absolutely beautiful sir! Love the atmosphere, lighting and of course the shots! Looking forward to the next one :)

[@skystarlite98]

thank you for sharing this. just spent nearly 4 weeks in Utah and this captured the essence of what it felt like to be there, in those spectacular spaces. excellent work.

[@JoshOwen]

Dude! 32K followers!! So proud of you man. Peaceful and beautiful art as always my friend.

[@thesecretlifeofmichal]

Amazing piece of cinematography, beautiful scenes and awesome photos. Emotions everywhere. Cody, my man, I haven't got a lot of time to spare lately on watching my favourite youtubers (second kid on the way, promotion and more resposibilities at work), so I appreciate 6 minutes of great choice of music, sounds and visuals, that I can appreciate watching during one of my own few downtimes - a lunch.

[@rickyzagalo]

Wonderful pictures. Awesome place. Thank you for these beautiful 6.15 minutes. Cheers

[@linusfotograf]

I like that you have company in your life

[@themythsthatmakeus]

This is the kind of art that’s a gift to your future self. Whatever happens, in a few decades, you’ll rewatch this and remember. Thank you for creating it. Absolutely loved.

[@Memoxor]

Another master piece Cody! I really love this video specially watching it on a sunday after an intense work week, food to the soul!

[@lydia6417]

You truly have a gift. Thank you for sharing it.

[@steventennies]

Stunning video, beautiful images, beautiful couple! Very impressed.

[@mcutler71]

Great to see you on KZbin. Been awhile. Great video. Love your images and the contemplative nature of your films.

[@randallstewart1224]

Monument Valley, Arches Nat Park, and Dead Horse State Park right next door. That certainly does cover a lot of photo and viewing diversity within a relatively small area. I'm left wondering what caused them to be the only people present when the arch with dawn glowing on the underside at 5:00 was taken. (Forget its name.) My own experience was less pleasant, as we shared it with several groups, including a tour bus full of Japanese tourists, every one of them with camera and tripod. Once I realized that concession and courtesy were not the protocol of the moment, my elbows and tripod got me a turn at bat, resulting in almost exactly the photos he has here. Fun times. Nice video which makes it look a lot easier than it was.

[@thatsamuellu]

Very poetic! Love it! Amazing work, Cody!

[@jankephoto]

This is insane. Your photos are so good 🔥

[@garrettmain3712]

This is amazing. I LOVE how slow and deliberate it is. You let the cinematography tell your story so you don't have to. Happy for you Cody. Great stuff!

[@xjuhnx]

Beautiful scenes, beautiful format. Thanks for sharing these moments with us ❤️

[@patrickrostker6693]

Incredible! I love the edit, and am feel so inspired to chase rainbows more often! Great to see what ya'll saw in your travels, you both are a true professionals and artist at heart, great stuff! ❤ 😮

[@sjmheron]

Great video. Your images are wonderful but the non-verbal characterization helped by very good sound editing, and brilliant timelapses brought it all together.

[@AwesomeErdem]

Just great, the video, the shots, the background music, everything's perfect 👌🏽 i just saw your channel and subbed immediately dude you are amazing keep it up ♥️

[@Apologeticsophist]

This is beautiful, Cody. Thank you for your persistence and consistence. Your natural growth is creating a strong following ❤️ love and appreciation

[@robertleal7455]

Everything about this video is amazing: the work, the emotions, and the storytelling. Sharing your journey and work is beyond wholesome and inspirational. Thank you Cody.

[@Nedumgottil]

Great video Cody. This has me excited for my road-trip

[@koorbit]

Man, what a beautiful video! Thank you!

[@MaxMcCoy1]

He's back baby!

[@frankylennonlin]

Magnificent as always ❤

[@ebreevephoto]

Wow just wow!!!

[@GIITW.5OKC]

I can recognize almost all these shots.. How long were you down there? takes a while to enjoy so many of these locations. like 4:08 park avenue, short and sweet hike right after entering arches (mostly), 0:08 that's down the bowl from delicate arch. seems like just one day there.. I hope you come back to enjoy some more of the many great locations Utah/Arizona has to offer.

[@gluciakpl4741]

amazing man as always🔥

I love your content, it's a great inspiration.

[@adrianemikko]

That is å beautiful tree

[@benjaminjones3351]

what a great video

[@nabih8238]

Increíble trabajo, no alcanza con el like.

[@cjimcook]

Loved your film, both the stills, the time-lapse, the GF humanizing some shots, the flash-forward/music sequence closer. Just one request: ignore the temptation to use the "scratchy framing" effect. It distracts the eye from the central work: your photography. Thank you.

[@slifeofkat]

Do you use Walken film's services too?! I especially enjoyed the double exposure shot!

[@OLEYNIKOVLIFE]

Класс!) 🎉

[@coreymagz3145]

Why does the beginning of this feel like NOPE?

[@nemosgaze]

Are these places actually so empty like this?

[@GIITW.5OKC]

Not even close, almost always packed, however in the colder months there are fewer people. this is most likely mid march since the snow is gone & the temps are warm enough to have rain.
