[@larebahmed1201]

TaylorCutFilms happy new year to u too ... wishing to more of these videos , love your work . 😇

[@jenicateregeyo]

Growing up since the age of 5, I've always wanted to document my life and show the world what I can do. I'm a deaf person and I want to be able to make videos and take photos of my life to show people that whether I'm different because I'm deaf, doesn't mean I can't be adventurous and crazy. I'm a very adventurous person, I love to travel and do everything that makes me happy. So, to see this video it really inspired me to enjoy every moment of life and be grateful for the little things. Absolutely love every bit of this video. I cannot wait to see what my life ahead has in store for me! Here's to another year full of exploring and happiness.🌎🌺✈️✨

[@JonasSmithMuller]

That film just hit the TaylorCutFilms- style! Loved it! ☺️

[@EMSAMAD]

ANYONE can use lightroom to edit. But @taylorcutfilms takes it to the highest level and doesn't over-edit, like I've seen some people do. You got some awesome skills dude.

[@Cristinawithac]

Love the Lalaland music opening and closing. Such a hauntingly beautiful melody

[@TaylorCutFilms]

🙏🏽 such an amazing movie

[@AshaVLOGS]

TaylorCutFilms watched it yesterday and it is such a beautiful film

[@annasouthwick8110]

My sister introduced me to your work a couple months ago. I had always had an interest in photography and videos and editing but something about your work seemed to really pull me in! As I explored your channels and pages it really opened my eyes to how photography is bigger than it seems. It is a unique art form that holds room for anyone involved in it to grow. It creates opportunities and takes people on journeys. It truly is a craft that will never die. I recently borrowed a camera from a friend and took it to Hawaii with me to try it out. I definitely opened up a passion that had been hiding for a long time. Each of your videos and vlogs bring a smile to my face, as I'm sure it does to many people. Anyway, just keep up the good work, keep growing, keep inspiring, keep saying "and yes", and thank you for helping me find a passion for this art.

[@EmilyOlson]

I legit can't. You're SO GOOD. I CAN'T HANDLE IT AND YES.

[@EmilyOlson]

also I can't watch this without getting feels.

[@TaylorCutFilms]

thank you so much 🙏🏽 and yes

[@chadmiller9523]

Happy new year Emily!!!!!

[@naelvira]

In grade 7 I started to do videos, it was about fun stuff I did with my friends, I did this because it was a way for me to look back to the best memories I had in middle school, but I didn't think much of it. When I got into grade 8 I had a class in computers and one of the projects that I had to do was a music video, when I started filming and editing I really enjoyed it and that was when I realized that filming was something I wanted to do, for me filming is a way to capture the best memories and to see life in a different way. One day I was looking through Instagram and that was when I found you and I'm so glad I did, because you have encouraged me with your amazing work, it have taught me that anyone can achieved their dreams if they work hard enough to do it and that we shouldn't just dream our life, but live it. Thank you for inspire me, thank you for spreading positivity, thank you for teaching me that any of us can do anything if we put our mind to it, thank you for taking the time to replying to my comments, thank you for doing tutorials that can help us in photography and filming, and thank you for doing this giveaway and helping out not just one person, but a number of people. The reason why I want the gear it's not just because I want to improve on taking pictures and recording videos, we all want the gear for that, but I also want it because, you have inspired me to do so much more, to inspire other people the same way you do with your pictures and videos and I think I can do it with your help. I will use the cameras every day and I'm gonna show you the work I can do with it. Even if I'm not one of the luckiest people who got the gear, I'm still gonna work hard to earn money for a camera, you're the reason why I'm gonna still filming and taking pictures and never give up in my dreams. I hope one day to become someone like you, someone who always encourage people to do what they love, and someone who's as kind and generous as you. I'm still gonna keep on commenting, liking and sharing all your pictures and videos, because you work so hard for everything you do it needs to be appreciated. You deserve so many more followers. Good luck to everyone who's participating in the giveaway. Whoever wins the gear really deserve it and I hope that they can pursue their dreams with the gear. @nataliieelvira

[@tobischnorpfeil2543]

Looks like you had an epic 2016! :) Excited to see what you're up to in the new year

[@sallyh5a377]

[@TaylorCutFilms]

thank you so much 🙏🏽 Happy new year

[@sarahvster]

Funny story.. over the holidays I convinced my brother to sell me his t3i. He hadn't been using it and I've been talking about buying a camera for over two years. He gave me his camera bag, one sd card, and one battery with no charger. I was stoked.. still am. I just saw your post and it made me extremely happy. I love what you are doing here. Really inspiring to see you invest in someone's dreams and ambitions that you don't even know!

[@Rey-Revival]

I just want to thank you so much for all that you have done for me this past year. After seeing your videos I decided to buy a camera and start filming. Now I can't stop making videos I'm so in love with it. I just uploaded a 2016 video, I hope you both like it. It wouldn't have been made if it weren't for you two.

[@rockinsophia810]

You're one of the reasons I love photography and videography, I've been wanting gear for videos and photography forever but I'm not fortunate enough, but watching what you do and love and seeing how happy this makes you, makes me so happy and it's so cool that this form of art can get you to so many places, I love what you do, thank you for sharing it

[@RajatRangdal]

Unreal editing 😍 😍 😍

[@bieberfevernr1208]

I've been filming and taking pictures of my life and surroundings since I was 10 years old. It's been my passion for as long as I can remember, and now that I'm 18 I know that that's what I want to pursue in life. Most people major in science or some social studies not a lot would think of majoring in cinematography maybe because they're scared of the competition and how hard it is to make it in the industry, but for me it's about what makes me happy and this is it. Capturing moments always trying to get the best shot and being able to see that in a short video or film is what makes me happy and inspires me. Sadly i don't have enough money to buy all the gear I need to achieve that, I saved a lot last year which helped me buy a canon rebel series t5i to be exact with a 50mm lens F1.8 , I know it's not the best but it's a start and since I'm going to Europe this year I wish I had enough gear (go pro, better lens or camera anything really) to capture the moments I'll be living. That's why it would be a dream come true to win anything from your giveaway, to be able to pursue my dream career and show people how beautiful it can be to capture and share moments. Keep up the amazing work you inspire me with every video you make! Lots of love #andyes lol @elisafloresw

[@AlasdairBraxton]

What a year bro! Can't wait to see what you have in store in 2017!!

[@EdgarRosales24]

I always come back to this video when I need inspiration. Still is to this day one of the best videos I’ve seen.

[@camotion]

Wow! You just visualized this beauty of a song - so much passion and feeling. I wish i would have the possibilities to create sth. like that :D Keep on 2017 - have a great year !

[@fridar.3266]

My 2016 started with an amazing gift. My very own camera. I've always been fascinated with photography and arts in general, so it was like a new step towards a dream i've had for so long. In the past year I've come across such inspiring artists and photographers, including @TaylorCutFilms, and it makes me want to start my own projects. Therefore, one of my top goals for 2017 is to experience and adventure more with my camera. Especially, because I'm going on a big trip to Thailand this year, where I believe there will be so many great opportunities for me to use and experiment with my camera. Thank you for sharing your adventures with us and being such an inspirational human being for so many people, including me. Wish you an even better 2017!

Photography is a way of feeling, of touching, of loving. What you have caught on film is captured forever… It remembers little things, long after you have forgotten everything. sir i hope i win

[@thomas_weinreich]

I got emotional... Unreal work on this one! Loved it as always!

[@hugomata4426]

I'm no where as amazing as a photographer or a videographer as you. Not only that but you also have a beautiful soul. You take your time out of you adventurous life to give us tips ... and now you're even giving us some of your gear. I know one thing, I hope I can become as inspiring and amazing as you one day. If I were to win something from you it would help push me to follow my dreams and step out of my comfort zone. You have inspired me to do that and more. Thank you for being you !

[@Oanon]

The beginning reminds me of a Tomorrowland after movie :) This is so good man!!!!

[@daniel_gall]

I have tears in my eyes after watching this one. You are the biggest ispiration for me Taylor.

[@EnroDesigns]

Wow.. This is so incredible! The quality is.. whoaa, I just love it!

[@sofiaelm1887]

Omg. Can't stop watching it. This is TRULY art.

[@reshare_ai]

[@nickramsey2743]

Best video of 2016 hands down. The most inspiring filmmaker, what an insane year!

[@matthewblum]

that was one of the best edits I've seen man! looking forward to seeing what you do in 2017!

[@TaylorCutFilms]

thank you!

[@nuggets788]

2 years later and I'm still mesmerized by this.

[@jin_yang]

Hi Jordan! I've seen your work and it's amazing. As someone who has always admired filmmaking but haven't had the equipment to do so, I would be happy with anything that you'd give me. AND YES, thank you for the opportunity you are giving us!

[@andreaestrada7912]

Honestly, your work has inspired me so much as a photographer and videographer. Your work is just so inspiring and amazing. The way you capture every frame, every movement is beyond amazing. It's beautiful. Thank you for sharing your passion and work with us. For inspiring and showing us that life is even more beautiful through your work. Never stop following your passion. And thank you for all the inspiration ❤️

[@DanielStrangeFitness]

EPIC, honestly gave me pure joy!

[@chloepatterson7723]

My best friend Sam, has loved photography since Junior High. There has been more spontaneous texts to "come over and do a photo shoot because the sunset is gorgeous" than I can count. We have gone on so many adventures just to find the most photogenic places, and we never leave the house without her camera. I have always been one of her go to "models" and I have always enjoyed our random photo opts. As she got more serious into photography, she started taking senior graduation announcement pictures, or family photos, and she has always asked me to come assist her. Whether it be finding the right poses or just fixing someone's hair to make the picture right, I've really enjoyed helping her take pics. It wasn't until this last summer when she convinced me to take our first photography class together in college. I was so excited to think of myself as a possible photographer. The class was surprisingly difficult at first and to be completely honest I wasn't sure what I was doing, I had to borrow a school camera throughout the whole semester, but I ended up LOVING the class. In November, Sam and I got asked to take photos at a friends wedding. We were warned against it by our photography teacher, but we did our homework and we shot that wedding. It was all day long, crazy hectic, and so much fun. Got there at 8am, had a small 2 hour break between 4-6 and went back for the after party. We took so many photos and my photos didn't turn out awful at all. I really struggled, but I wanted to push myself to put the camera on manual the whole wedding. Our first wedding was a success, and Sam was even able to get a beautiful video out of it. I had to borrow a camera for this wedding too. It would be so great to have my own camera and explore more into photography. I know Sam and I make a great team, and I think we could open up a website/business or blog one day. It would be real fun to be able to take pictures of her more rather than her always taking pictures of me. She really opened my eyes to photography and I couldn't be more grateful. She shows a lot of emotion through her photography and I can tell how genuinely happy photography makes her. She is always so humble and underestimates herself but she has such a strong eye for photography. She always talks about how she wishes I had a camera. It would be such a blessing to be able to help her in photography on a different level. One other reason I would LOVE to have my own camera is because... during photography class this last semester, there was this really sweet guy who gave me great feedback and helped me out a lot. After the semester was over I added him on Instagram, and DM'd him and thanked him for helping me out! He told me he would like to do a photography outing with me the week after finals! And I had to turn him down, because I didn't have my own camera😩 (besides I would've been so intimidated to take pictures compared to his). But if I did get a camera, and some more practice, I might be able to reopen that opportunity. I love taking pictures and I hope one day I can take it so much farther and make lots of people happy. My Instagram is @chloe_elise1 Whether I win or not, I'm really glad you're giving out this opportunity for so many people. I think that's such an awesome thing to do. :) Happy New Year!

[@vonnimedia]

So much talent! Been showing your videos to everyone I know 😊

[@sunlightdavid]

omg yes me too. I feel like I need ppl to exasperate with me and go awww and ahhh and oooo.

[@chloecurreen1351]

everyone keeps commenting saying they want gear but i actually just want to tell you how much you inspire me to work towards being a great photographer/videographer. i hope that i can create content that inspires people even half as much as yours does. Your final product truly shows how much time and effort goes into each video. Thankyou for your 2016 videos and im looking forward to some tutorials and adventure videos coming in 2017! #YES

[@thekevinmartin]

I am so pleased with this. What a fuckin good video.

[@jacklynnguyen9529]

I'm just starting off photography/ filmography and from the moment I watched your videos, I instantly knew that I wanted to aim and achieve at what youre doing. I want to show people the essence of life and the true beauty behind it. I want to do this by portraying a story. Its every, small detail that truly counts of course. These details will create a unique story that will show people that theres hope. To inspire others to look differently in life. Looking ahead positively. I want to be able to provide and fulfill people with that type happiness! With the gear it wont just benefit myself but benefit others as well. i strive to start filming and capturing photos more of my friends and family. I want to start showing them a different side of themselves that will make them realize something truly magnificent and beautiful. #YESSS

[@franfilms895]

I met your videos the last winter, I followed you on instagram and i fell in love of your pics. I started to do better photos for my instagram and I started to met the photography world. Shortly after, I met Alyssa, Sam, Matt, and I just wanted to start your adventures: Travel with your camera, take photos, record videos, live the life! And when you arrived home after the adventure, edit it and share your history, your travel with other people. In all this time, I've been thinking on create my own youtube channel, and share my stories like you do. I am sixteen and I am studing so I can't buy a camera with my own money (cause I have not work xD) My fathers bought me a camera, the Canon Eos 1300D, and I will start my project, but now, you bring me the oportunity to win a camera or something incredible for complement and perfect my videos and photos. I just can say thanks... and if I don't win something of your giveaway, I can say thanks anyway for the inspiration, for the helps to believe in someting,for clarify my future (Cause now I know that the audiovisual and the photography world are my passion and I'll study it). This is my dream Jordan, I wish you could help me to make it happen. Fran. (I did all the steps to enter at the contest that you have announced on Instagram and Twitter).

[@marielau1135]

Absolutely stunning! Your photography, videos, and editing are amazing. It's so cool to watch your vlogs and see the people behind the photos and videos.

[@zachfavell2720]

Edits are incredible! Here's to a bigger and better 2017 💪🏼 #andyes

[@TaylorCutFilms]

and yes! 🙏🏽

[@benleahy2270]

TaylorCutFilms Hey, big fan of your work. I would use the gear to as a budding landscape photographer, which would be outside. Anyway, keep posting great content, you are truly inspiring.

[@sarahraffer1980]

Your editing is. incredibly, even better than in the past!! You are in my major league (Kolder, Brown, Langer, Palma, Graham) and please keep iit up to make me survive in my borong office

[@kianiallison1535]

The quality of your videos is amazing! It truly showcases the beauty of the world! 🌎

[@PrateekG]

I love this!! HNY! I have you subscribed since 32893273 days ago and you're my inspiration (hell #YES to photography - my insta is photographyskills haha). I own a DSLR but it would mean so much to me if I could get an amazing lens or anything really. I have learnt in 2016 that I should appreciate every small things in life, and with your travel videos you proved it is possible. I am travelling all the way to California this Feb from Europe for the first time, and I just can't wait to take amazing shots. Memories that lasts forever. BRING IT ON 2017 🙌🏽

[@xxNumberOneFanxx]

#yes !

[@Prissy361]

Jordan, every since I was a little girl, I've always had a passion for photography! I would carry around a camera everywhere I went and take photos of everything I saw. I always saw myself pursuing this as my career but as I grew older, I had a lot of people tell me and eventually convince me that I could NEVER make a living doing what I love. They always told me, there was no future in taking photos, it's more of a hobby than anything. Me (at the time) being a young, naive, tennage girl, I believed everything everyone said and ventured out to do something else. Throughout the years, I continued with what I was doing while letting people tell me I was doing the right thing. As time went on, I found myself becoming more and more unhappy, undetermined, and less motivated with the path that I had chosen. I knew something was missing and a change had to happen but I didn't know where to start and what to do. I had no clue what was bothering me until I came across your work. I started following you on Instagram. KZbin, twitter, Facebook, and snapchat more and more and I realized that every time you would post a new photo or new video, my heart would instantly light up and I would be so happy just visioning and creating things in my head that I could do just by watching you. It was at this time that I realized just what had been missing and what was my calling in life and that is to be my own version of YOU! You've inspire me so much to forget about what everyone else has said. It was then that I said I'm going to start making myself happy, start living for me for a change, and do what I love to do. I researched so much and have tried to learn more. I have tried to reach out to other photographer/filmographers on social media but everyone has ignored me. You are the first person to ever reach out to your fans and I am extremely grateful for that. You try your best to help everyone and it's such a great feeling when you respond to all of us on here. Stumbling across your channel has been one of the most greatest things I have ever done. I bought my first DSLR camera about 3 years ago and I haven't put it down ever since. I've learned so many thing from you and I hope to learn more in the future. It would be an honor if I would pick me in your giveaway. Tomorrow is the big day and I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I will be lucky enough to own some of that beautiful gear soon. Thank you so much for everything you have done! You have no idea how much I look up to you! xoxo -Priscilla

[@SultanSwaisss]

Before, I talk about the giveaway I want to tell you about how much you've inspired me through your creativity and your work (both your videos and your pictures), and you're one of the reasons that I'm in love with photography and videography! Thank you very much🙏🏻 And the reason why i need to win one of the cameras is because Im in my senior year (I graduate next may) and I've decide to start a KZbin channel (vlogging and traveling) because it was always one of my life goals but the problem is that I can't afford any cameras or equipment and I've been using my phone for the past two years. So if I actually win this giveaway that will actually solve everything and be a dream come true...good luck for me and for everyone❤️🙏🏻 #andyes

[@joeandstaceyexplore6063]

man i've rewatched this a handful of times now, and i still can't get over the build up. You do such a good job of intensifying the whole video. The slow music build, with slow motion video, adding in the whispers, the drum and music build in the song and then some fast video that just inspires the viewers.. im learning a lot from watching your bigger edits, and even more in detail from watching your tutorials! - Joe.

[@fatmaezzine2645]

There's many different reasons why i want to be able to win. Firstly one of my life goals is to be a professional photographer because photography is my passion , i think that it makes u see the wold in a new way it makes u notice the details (lights chapes colours textures...)and also it helps you to express yourself in a certain way i had my camera but it was stolen from me . i also dream to be making KZbin vlogs and tutorials so winning in this giveaway will help me achieve my dreams. Thank u for making this giveaway

Looks like you had an awesome 2016. I just want to take this chance to say that I really enjoy your creativity from every aspect !! I really hope I can meet you one day.

I recently released a video highlighting my 2016 adventures and it would mean the world if you could check it out and let me know what you think ☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️ Happy new year everyone !!! ☺️🎉🎉🎉🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻 Lots of love from the uk ☺️

Each scene is so powerful. Just amazing!!

[@SiqiangWu]

Hi Jordan! I would like you to help me out and make my dream come true. I have no support and have been told by my parents to keep this video thing as a hobby. Thanks for everything AND YES.

[@nicolasdemarais1072]

You are such an inspiration to my younger brother and I! We look forward to watching your tutorials and tips on being the best possible with photography and videography. As well as every Sunday getting pumped to watch the next video you are about to upload and blow our mind. You've inspired us both to live life unordinary and we are planning a trip to Iceland, Finland in which our mothers family is from and Estonia too! Every video just gets us that much more stoked into looking up gear and saving up for more stuff to try to enhance our skills in photography and videography. Thanks and keep up with the awesome videos!

[@xolax44]

Hi Jordan! My name is Alexis and you've been inspiring me for the past 4/5 years. I first noticed your work as a TimeFlies fan. As an aspiring film editor I greatly admired your music videos and my freshman year of college decided to branch out, for the first time, and ask for your advice on Linked In. Very surprisingly, you offered your number and advice and in a 45 minute phone call in March or April of 2014. You told me not to be afraid of trying new things and taking risks. That has stuck with me and continued to inspire me as I've grown as a person, video editor and cinematographer. Your videos and passion for the world has encouraged me to live life and have fun doing it. That summer (of 2014) I spent the summer playing lacrosse for an international team in Germany and Switzerland while making films for their program. Since graduating college I've had the amazing opportunity to work on feature films in NYC as a VFX Editor. Your tips and tricks on Light Room have helped me in my own photo editing and I had my first Photo Gallery in May of 2016. Your and Alyssa's stories and travels are truly remarkable and I have loved being able to watch your films. I hope I am soon at a point in my life where I can take my knowledge and passion for adventure and go everywhere and see everything the way you two have, #andyes I did enter your giveaway contest #andyes this is #mystory. Thank you so much for constantly dreaming, living and adventuring and thank you for taking 45 minutes in 2014 to have a conversation you probably don't even remember with a young dreamer lost in the madness of New York City. Cheers to 2017 and Happy Holidays to you and Alyssa!! :)

[@iradanasirova8783]

You've really improved from your older videos to nowadays. Even at that time they seemed perfect to me,but this is real magic. Having super beautiful girlfriend in your videos makes them even more magnificent. Keep surprising us with your great work.

[@rayachakarova]

Thank you for being such an inspiration! Your videos are a true peace of art which encourages a generation to truly relish the experience of living. You have opened my eyes to the fact that life is full of colours, experiences and emotions waiting to be captured and explored! Keep up the amazing work!

[@siqingwu6415]

You have literally change the game. KZbin is so much better with your content. Love your work and YES!

[@ruslanwhite5875]

Love how you stick too your style. A more slower less EDM'y type video like a lot of videographers are doing. It's definitely a good change in pace and the detail in the editing is exceptional. Great job man keep it up! Keep doing the vlogs as well, you're very funny and those are great as well!

[@estherligia3116]

Just...absolutely amazing. Speechless, as usually when it comes to your videos!

[@BiancaLazar]

Honestly I think I watch your videos ten times a day. You have a great sense of how to create atmosphere. Absolutely stunning footage Taylor! Keep up the great work!

[@lubnabertelli5253]

I love capturing magical moments , The Ability to capture emotional expressions and convey thoughts through a simple frozen time frame is just amazing to me. being a photographer can bring you face to face with many of the earths wonders. Though I’m still a beginner and i try my best to get the perfect picture with what i have, My main goal is to subsidize my passion of photography and to be able to get some of the gear that will help me take it to the next level. AND YES, thank you very much for this opportunity.

[@haleysoutsideshift]

Every single one of your videos just inspires me to create more! I want to focus this year on making more content that makes people feel something the way your videos have made me feel something. Forever amazed by the content you create!!

[@matthewcandelaria4524]

You and Sam both share a creative perspective that I want to create for the area I live in. I used to think that people who live in larger cities or that travel to other countries were the only ones capable of creating magical content. Taking things for granted is easy, and I realized that it wouldn't take much for you or someone else who hasn't been exposed to the things I grew up doing to make a video look amazing. Given the opportunity, I would create an ORIGINAL video and hope to grow as a person in the process of film making and living a creative lifestyle. Bring it 2017!

[@fleur979]

This video is simply breathtaking, it shows how you can inspire people simply through a lens. This is what I aspire to do. At the moment I'm mostly focused on my photography, because filming with a Nikon D3200 isn't the best option. I saved up really long for this camera, but my filming is too blurry and shaky. This is why something of your camera gear could be handy. I love taking photos but since I'm obsessed with movies, videography is something I feel more connected too. Thank you for inspiring me!

[@GabrielaRodriguez-rj5wp]

Your talent is honestly unique and cannot ever be imitated. Watching your videos throughout this past year has been a breath of fresh air and I look forward to watching what the New Year brings your way. Whenever I watch your work, I feel as if I am with you-in India, Venice, Hawaii-and not every photographer can do that. Thank you for that and for strengthening my love for photography. My journey began with a Pentax Spotmatic (the same camera my father owned when he was younger) and I've loved capturing moments with it but I can only do so much. Your gear would help me tremendously! Even if I am not one of the winners, thank you so so much for this opportunity.

Whenever I watch your videos, it adds to my vision. That it can be spread farther than music videos, rather a way to show the gratifying and sometimes unappreciated place we live through videography. Thank you for inspiring a man with a dream even farther! I hope to win the contest to show my vision, thank you Jordan for the opportunity! Happy New Year!! 🎉🎊🎉🎊

[@12PizzaMia]

You as a photography and videographer just make me strive to be a better photographer. I just hope one day I can be as good as you. You help me remember not to give up. That I can make anything happen. So thank you. What you do, you as a person just helps me better myself! I hope I can use my art as you do to help people and show the world.

[@mariond.7089]

I simply cannot believe what I just witnessed ! You are a magician and this is the most freaking beautiful video I have ever seen ! This is a PIECE OF ART ! CONGRATS !

[@lorenamirandacera7530]

Every time I see one of your videos or even photos I get inspired to go out there and create my own it's kind of scary to think about, that one person can inspire me to want to do something different with my life and different to what I'm doing now that it makes such an impact in it so thank you for being that person that has inspired me for about a year and a half to create something whether it's a photo or video whether I show it to people or not I'm still creating content so thank you

[@sierraw4748]

Seriously man every time I see one of your videos it gives me like instant motivation to want to do something good with my life.

[@son-hn4um]

I love the editing, the time lapse, the colors, and everything else. This video is breathtaking! Awesome job!

[@arturz1349]

I want to say thank you for all your input into the social media world I'm truly obsessed, and its really kind of you to give away your gear to new and inspired photographers such as myself. I will definitely tune in tomorrow to see who you have chosen.I wish you the best of luck in your career and a deep thank you for this opportunity.

------- Fabulous Shots and Superb Sound effects! Edits = Mind blown ------

[@TheMusicBeatsLife]

I'm so glad Mark Dohner helped me discover your channel because I've just found one of my new passions. Going back several years, I would always try to take cinematic pictures with my iPod 'cause I didn't have an actual camera, and my mom would always tell me that I had an eye for photography and that I should probably study it when I go to college. I used to tell her that it was just a small hobby and that I wouldn't really make it into a career, but when I started watching your videos, I became so captivated in the cinematic shots as well as the editing. This is when I realized that I should further pursue this knack I have for photography because in the long run, I'd rather start something I love rather than not do it and regret it years later. I really wanna explore the world and really broaden my perspective on different cultures throughout the world. This is why it would be nice to have an actual professional camera rather than using my phone to pick up the slightest detail. Trust me, at this point if I had the money to buy a professional camera, I would, but money can really be a huge limitation. I'm actually trying to take cinematic photos on my iPhone and edit them for Instagram . If you want, you can take a quick look at them @michaelglozano. Anyways, keep up the good work man and I wish you a successful life as a photographer and film maker!

[@Bluebird-xz1gw]

This is the first of your videos I've ever watched. It was so beautiful it made me cry.

[@nabeelmazid2297]

We all know one of the steps of having a perfect career is first support, and I want to become a film maker, I want to create videos however no one in my family wants to support me. My parents said to me, Making films won't get you no where. They still don't support me so I bought myself a cheap camera. I have so many ideas but it cannot be done with a camera that has bad quality. The equipments will help me a lot and I can prove my parent wrong. Taylor, I just wanna say thank you for inspiring me and for this opportunity

[@staceybruinsma730]

I've watched this probably about 100 times and it gets better EVERY SINGLE TIME! You're brilliant #YES

[@niclovesnic]

YOUR VIDEOS INSPIRE ME SO MUCH!!! The shots you take, the perspectives you get! They're amazing. You are truly blessed with an amazing talent and you inspire me everyday! ❤️

[@sophialeonchik8348]

This is beautiful, the raw emotions it shows. I Iove it!!!

[@dearjaymehh]

You're work has inspired me for the past year, to be a better photographer. I love all your tutorials on lightroom and they've helped me learn a lot. Before I would watch youtube videos but your tutorials make it seem a lot easier. I also have your presets and theyre incredible! I hope to expand my photography skills with more equipment. I'm currently a full time business student with a passion for photography but don't have a lot of money to purchase new equipment. I save all my money for school and when I have free time, I just love to shoot. Thanks for being an inspiration not just for me, but to many others out there who share the same passion :)

[@kurtchan5041]

Watching these youtubers really gives me inspiration to do better. I am an aspiring filmmaker and just started to take my passion to work. Though you guys are already a longshot amazing, you're still humble about your work. Happy New Year!

[@kylethomas7744]

Hey Taylor. I hope you get to read this. I have been so inspired by you and Alyssa. Also the relationship your have with Sam and Jacob. Both guys that are truely amazing with the camera. I only was recently inspired to pick up the camera when my dad was diagnosed with ALS. He could no longer shoot with his DSLR, so I picked it up and started creating. It has allowed me an outlet and a way to inspire others with my story. I learn so much with every video I create and try to mirror so much of your editing style into my own videos. (Your Tutorials are lifesaving!) With my Mom also relieving Chemotherapy for the 5th time (a 4 time survivor), I can only work part time which limits my budget for camera gear as I need to be home to help with my parents needs. I would truely be blessed to relieve some of your gear and you could rest knowing it would be used to further my ability to create, inspire and explore as I continue to write my own story! Love what you do and know that you have made such a huge impact on me as a person and videographer!

[@gracegrass119]

Your videos are such incredible works of art. Being able to live life to the highest potential every single minute, and to document it to inspire others is the absolute dream. I want the equipment so so badly, because having that equipment would allow me to follow my dreams of becoming a photographer. I want to show people how beautiful they really are through film, and I want to inspire so many people in the world, and prove that people at my age are capable of doing incredible things. The equipment is more than just equipment- it's the opportunity to pursue a future of amazing moments, experiences, friends, photos and more, all through your help. You seriously rock. Best to you

[@mkdesign2622]

Thank you for doing this! Every video, every szene, every frame..perfect! Youre the biggest inspiration, thanks!

[@cocotiks]

Love the vid and song choice! For me Jordan I am stuck doing a medical degree because my parents never believed in my talent for art and photography, they won't buy me a camera or gear because of the price. After a bad breakup I looked at my life and the only happiness I've had so far is when I've been out taking pictures. I never want my creativity to die because in medical school that can happen and it's scary to think that, I think with the right equipment and the opportunity I can prove to the whole world that you can be successful and follow your dreams. 2017 for me is going to be a year of big changes and adventures. You inspired me so much with you content and especially Lightroom tutorials which I have started using for my own pictures and has been a game changer! I hope you pick me to win! Happy new year!

[@lilketchup4501]

2016 was a crazy ride. It started out with finding out that i have depression and anxiety and with that came many panic attacks. i had to find something that would calm me down and hat was making videos. i only do it for fun but this year made me realize i want to do it for my job. I also fell in love in the beginning of the year, he went off to college and we started to grow apart and we are on a break right now. it would mean the world to get some more things to help me make more videos. i love what you are creating and i hope that i can tell my story through my videos. much love- Lilli Heintz

[@brennanscarlata5438]

Why do I want the gear? For the past 4-5 months I was sitting in my college dorm room questioning who I was and who I wanted to be. It's always been clear to me that my true passion falls within film and photography. In fact, I have decided to take a gap year from college, so that I could pursue what I always loved. Although I believe that creativity and passion is far more important than how expensive or "professional" your gear might be, I believe that winning some of this gear will help me get to the next level. I have so many dreams and aspirations that I know I will achieve, I just wanted to say, thank you for being one of biggest inspirations.

[@prasand]

love the way you perceive / edit things.

[@rajnandanbaruah]

you and sam are the most talented filmmaker in youtube right now. You guys are the best of the best

[@ksoccer32]

because of creative people like sam kolder and you and other videographers. I found my passion for filming.

[@orangesarah12]

Every time I see your videos I get so happy. I never click on a notification so quick. But I honestly would be so overwhelmed with happiness if I was one of the winners of your gears. I love film making. Being able to satellite a story. Cinematography has attracted me ever since I was 11. That's how I got into wanting to travel and make films was by watching your videos and your buddy Matt Komo. I want to travel and go to college for film production because everyone should live out there dream! I am amazed by the stellar shots you get and would love to buy it for myself, but I would have to be so rich to get all the gear you have. I want to be able to spread my talent with others like you and that's why it would mean so much if you chose me. I currently use a canon rebel t3i with a standard 18-55 mm lenses and also am lucky enough to have a GoPro. With those two gadgets that I bought with my own money I have been able to let my creativity shine, but it seems I want it to shine brighter and your gear would help me with this. My birthday is on January 12th and man would that be an awesome birthday gift. Camera gear given to one of my favorite filmmakers out there. Your videos truly always trust and amaze me and that is something that you inspire me to do. I hope at least if I don't get it, someone who truly deserves it will. Best wishes and thank you for this opportunity! of course AND YES!

[@richardhata6697]

Hi Jordan. For a while after my interest sparked for photography and film you were one of my biggest inspirations. The people that surround you like Sam Kolder, Jacob Riglin, etc. have always been my inspiration to produce content. For the longest time I would take pictures with my iphone until I got my first dslr. After experimenting for a while now I realized I want something better. I am constantly practicing and thinking of new content and new ideas I can create. I canʻt express enough how grateful I am for the content you produce and also the chance to participate in your contest. Thank you so much! Keep making content and keep inspiring!

[@preminaikhar9042]

Alyssa too! shes an amzibg person love you both so so freaking much

[@brandontejada6473]

Ever since feb I've been obsessed watching your visuals. You've seriously inspired me to continue digital media school so I can be like you. You're videos are so good, jaw dropping and i can't wait to own my camera to get started. I use my iPhone 6s Plus and I'm happy with it so far. I look forward to watching everything you post. Make a movie ! That would be so much YES.

[@frederiquedessureault3313]

You're such an inspiration. All the work you do is just incredible!! Each of your video are making me so happy, what you say, the images, everything is juste a bless for the eyes (and ears) ! I love everything that you do so keep doing because it's incredible!!

[@Glews]

Actually the coolest thing I've ever seen

[@OnceUponADorkyWorld]

you're cinematography is what i strive to be.

[@camrusso9949]

Film/photography is one of my biggest passion in life and to me I don't care if I can't make a living from it, because it will always be something I love doing. You're videos really make you feel something and I can't really put my tongue on what I feel, but it's something special! I aspire to one day be as great as you but in my own unique way. I'm still a beginner and learning along the way, but very excited for what the future holds. Happy New Year and Best of wishes to you and Alyssa in 2017! And most importantly YES!

[@MrScootydoo]

Each and every single one of these shots are absolutely majestic! This gave me goosebumps while I was watching this! Keep up the good work Taylor! 👍

[@DanielaRamirez-cn2ps]
