[@MakeArtHurt]

Awesome! The 2 years you waited to get that plane tracking shot explains your absence! Welcome back!

[@sdhpCH]

LOL

[@suwiwu]

I was driving and ask myself: “where the hell is that guy that got me into making all that camera equipment out of PVC pipes?” Im glad to see that you’r back. Just to inform you that thanks to your DIY projects i got some cool shoots that kinda put me above most of videographers here where i live, so im living a good life now!

[@zoffinger]

Like an old friend I haven't seen in many years, I clicked without thought. Miss ya.

[@ericburres2875]

The artifact made me smile. Hell, the whole (short) movie made me smile. A very good way to start a new month.

[@stans5270]

Like Captain America, being thawed from the ice after 70 years, The Frugal Filmmaker has been thawed to save filmmakers everywhere.

[@MileyonDisney]

I swear to God, I was just thinking yesterday about sending you an email to ask how you've been doing! When I got back into photography, your many videos helped me craft some great DIY items, and got me very interested in shooting video, too. Awesome to see you back! I hope all is well.

[@jeffreybrown8422]

He's back! And I got the notification! And the commenters just pointed out what day it is.

[@CheapGeek]

Awesome! Very excited.

[@FrankMakesMovies]

I was hoping my patience would one day be rewarded. I now eagerly, yet patiently, await the next offering.

[@DannyFyffe]

Your son looks a LOT like you. I hope you come back steady again. Wish you all the success in the universe.

[@LongLiveTheFilmmaker]

you are an inspiration and i remember using all your tips and tricks when i first started out! I've come some way from there and will keep using your ideas and knowledge to better myself! thanks for all your wisdom and hard work we all really appreciate it and it's great to see you doing your thing!

[@BlistasOnMahFingas]

What a pleasant surprise

[@writelyons]

Welcome back, makes sense you would resurrect near Easter! Loved the artifact, a great moment!

[@antonarenko3242]

Great to finally have you back Scott!!

[@newfoundmass]

I'm glad that your creative juices are flowing again!

[@foddermike]

Very much enjoyed that short! Glad to see you weren't frozen like another "anti-hero" was. Very interested to see what you've been up to all this time; glad you're back ;)

[@nmFrazer]

Was so glad to see this; I have definitely missed your videos! Hope to see more soon!

[@knoptop]

An early century Schedule 40 artifact..what a find!

[@ryanworkman3032]

I’ve missed your stuff so much. Glad you’re back!!

[@markh8901]

Please show up from time to time we thought the channel was gone. May be a quick 3 to 5 min vlog every week or month would be nice. Like many others I came back to watch one of your old video and found out it is alive. ^^

[@wieland00]

Lovely to see you back!!!

[@FrostyTheBeerMan]

I used to love the old days when you uploaded every week with cool stuff you made. Never got a notification from KZbin, but saw this in the side bar. KZbin is terrible at alerting subscribers when somebody has upped a new vid. Welcome back.

[@healthyrootsstrongwings538]

Couldn't believe when I got the notification, I clicked and then the vdo was no longer available. ... Now it's real! Awesome and welcome back :)

[@00Skyfox]

My reaction to the notification email was, "No shit!" So I immediately came over here to see what was posted.

[@kenbest7660]

Cute. Nice to see you are still filming. If this is your family, my how they've grown.

[@DeagleGaming]

OMG FINALLY IVE BEEN WATCHING YOU FOR 5 YEARS

[@TheBendermen]

You're back! And so is Sparky!

[@starttherebellion9146]

So nice to hear from you!!!

[@DGaryGrady]

Like everybody else here, I'm really delighted to see you back! I was just sending someone a link to an old video of yours and was wondering what had happened to you, so I went to the channel page and found this. Please show up at least from time to time to let your fans know you're still OK and not frozen in ice or something.

[@DGaryGrady]

One more welcome back, if a little late. Hoping to see more soon. Summer is coming...

[@godsfilmmaker8863]

DUUUUDE! That was great! I'm super sad I missed the notification for this! Glad I found it now, though. Is there more to come?? P.S. As much as I enjoy your frugal builds (I think your jib/crane is still unmatched) I have missed your entertaining work as a host!

[@rickh6963]

SCOTT!!!! About 6 months ago I unsubscribed because I though you were gone forever. I swung back by your channel to watch an old video and there it was ..... a new video. WELCOME BACK!! I have re-subscribed in the hopes that I see some more good how-to's and shorts coming from you!

[@DRATproductions1]

AWESOME!! I hope this means you are back! Been to long gone...

[@KoreaWithKids]

Ooh, cliffhanger!

[@noahsduck4109]

No way I subscribed when I saw a video of urs from 2014. And of course like I do for every channal I go and see what their latest video they had posted. I realized that u hadn't posted in well like two years and I'm very happy u finally posted again.

[@eStudio15tec]

Can't wait for the next post!

[@XSpImmaLion]

Wha... how did I miss this? He's back!

[@thatebutuoyguy788]

Posting a video on April 1st after so many months / years away? Very ominous. Welcome back all the same.

[@WolfsHaven]

Happy to see a new video, I knew I stayed subscribed for a reason. I look forward to more if you're up for it. Be well old friend.

[@m2odmdlh]

Missed you bro! Welcome back!!!

[@CreatorofWhat]

I did'nt get notified about this but I thought I would pop in to see if you were ok. Scott you can't leave us hanging like this buddy.

[@scribemike]

Awesome. Can't wait.

[@jiafoto2046]

[@Samtagri]

[@davidtaylorsr]

[@gibvideo7682]

Now you make me curious Scott,,, Picking a date like this makes it even more mysterious :) :) :) Anyway if my hopes come true, with me a lot of the guys will jump a hole in the air...

[@tannerhoke]

I missed you

[@elvinlawcc]

[@KenParrish61]

[@journeyofawesome8473]

Holy crap, he lives

[@actthree34]

Glad I didn't delete you. Nice little video.

[@TheHomeFilmmakergpage]

good god, it been so long! i was beginning to think you died

[@marinrealestatephotography]

Please tell us this is NOT an April Fools Day joke...

[@pizzamayo7775]

Finally

[@00Skyfox]

Scott, man, where have you been? I was starting to think you got eaten by an Alaskan bear or something. It's really good to see you're still around. I hope you're doing well!

[@johannes914]

He is alive !...

[@brucemurray2520]

Is this your way of saying goodbye?

[@WillBravoNotEvil]

Like Jesus, I think about you from time to time and usually conclude that no further action is required. /kidding

[@pergunnareriksson]

👍

[@AntonioCamunas]

whoaaa its been a while

[@hamishwilkinsonhw]

Ware have You been

[@new.asteroid.tracker]

Have you returned?

[@curtisc8386]

apparently it was the end.

[@frugalfilmmaker]

Tear.

[@techtoast6015]

Welcome back start making diy videos.

[@robertlongoria765]

Welcome welcome..Please tell me that my $254 will take me further along in producing a movie than it did 2 years ago.

[@MagicBiscuitShow]

... 2 f/stops Up. Or is that 2 thumbs up???

[@DanielScottFilms]

We thought you were dead

[@ImTheDaveman]

Dude! Where are u? You havent done anything new in a year. Its time to rise from your crypt. bruh! LoL. I hope you are well.

[@jeffreybrown8422]

I think the DIY thing is too hard to get ideas for. Maybe the bubble popped. Every easy thing to make got a lot cheaper fast because of these videos. Who still sells fig Rigs? Honestly if you come back just make shorts and give us updates. I just want to see you and your work. I'm not making PVC light stands anymore.

[@BIGRAJ1000]

April Fool's 👍😀

[@you166mhz]

cheap ....
