I wanted to let you know that my Dad passed yesterday. He was in a coma for two weeks and I had forgotten what his voice sounded like. This video allowed me to hear my Dad again. Thank you for this priceless gift ❤️

[@pidodnaw4041]

I’m really sorry for your loss….

[@TechRadicalTv]

You are very genuine but why did you stop making videos

[@RealDavoX]

He definitely showed great potential for an awesome youtube channel.

[@YugandharBhalbar]

The fact that this was shot on an iPhone, amazes me to the core. Much respect for you dude.

[@MsCarrionswarm]

The ambiance, the artist, the shoot, everything, wow.

[@MechaUltra]

This was superb beyond belief wouldn't even tell that this was filmed on an iPhone, I really wish this was longer. It was so soothing and really calming. Please upload more!

[@StoriesFound]

+InfamousPeds I'm glad you enjoyed it. More to come for sure!

[@ChristopherPutlock]

Been waiting a while for this, and it was worth it!

[@StoriesFound]

+Chris Putlock Chris, you rock! Thanks man! Just watched Voices. Can't wait to see more! What did you shoot on?

[@ChristopherPutlock]

+Citizen Docs Oh no, I really should take it down! I shot that on my Samsung HMX-F90 camcorder. Not the best quality. But thanks!

[@StoriesFound]

+Chris Putlock You should put more up!! I can tell you have the bug for storytelling. Keep it up!

[@ChristopherPutlock]

+Citizen Docs thanks, friend!

[@rhazaldjandal8602]

i cant believed it was shot on iphone 5c only.. amazing! pls upload more videos. you are an inspiration!

[@ECJonas]

In less than five minutes, you managed to sum up my Dad's passion and conviction for his craft. Well done on making such a moving film!

[@StoriesFound]

+Emma Jonas Emma! You just made my day! I'm so glad you had a chance to watch it. It was a joy working with your dad. I'm so grateful that he gave me the opportunity to work with him on this project.

[@ECJonas]

+Citizen Docs Our entire family has always supported the arts...whether it be painting, sculpting, poetry, music, photography or film-making. Keep doing what brings you joy and purpose. :)

[@Ghost-ip4ku]

Excellent presentation by Citizen Doc on Edward's compelling perspective.

[@StoriesFound]

+larry cable Hey, thanks for watching!

[@Sanoj1978]

Great film ! You have done such a great job with the filming and the editing ! The camera doesn't shoot the movie, you did and proves that it is not necessary to have expensive equipment. What matters is talent and you for sure have it !

[@StoriesFound]

+Jonas B Thank you so much, Jonas. I totally agree with you. I always tell people how exciting it is to be a filmmaker. Do to the democratization of film, you're able to create cinema quality stuff at a fraction of the cost. Thanks for watching!

[@bentrance96]

I hope Citizen Docs makes some more of this kind of film.

[@themargheimcrew]

I aspire to do similar work. This was outstanding. You are a craftsman. Thanks for sharing.

[@Immmi]

Considering this was shot on iPhone, this is more than amazing. I love your work. Tons of respect for you. Keep uploading such great stuff.

[@michaelolz]

This has been an inspiration to me. I first began shooting with a smartphone out of necessity and because the television station I was working for at the time wouldn't allow me to borrow one of their cameras. But I had a phone at the time that was capable of shooting 4K and I had Final Cut Pro. I was able to do a lot with those alone. Now with the new accessories I can do more. By the way, this short film is absolutely stunning.

[@iamkyros2233]

as an upcoming artist...thisis beautiful. thank you.

[@Pei147]

Hey this is an absolutely amazing short film!! You should do more like this!

[@abhimulti8862]

I cant beliv that u shot this video on 5c

[@kernow9324]

You are an extraordinarily talented young man. The Artist was amazing!

[@Littlemisspinay93]

Amazing storytelling!

[@ew1951]

You did an excellent job in making this very deluxe video. I hope you're still trying to do more videos.

[@TommyGKendrick]

This is wonderful on a number of levels. First, of course, it captures some of the working process of the artist. Secondly, it's inspirational to see such a polished looking and SOUNDING work shot with tools all of us have at our disposal. I'll be looking for more tutorials and finished works from Citizen Docs. This is really terrific!!

[@StoriesFound]

+Tommy G. Kendrick Thanks so much for your support, Tommy! Let me know how your future filmmaking projects go - and let me know how I can help!

[@SAndSPictures]

I personally enjoyed how well the audio was balanced. I'm a big music person too, and I was able to hear the voice over perfectly fine.

[@StoriesFound]

+S&S Pictures Perfect! Thank you for watching, and thanks for the feedback!

[@storymedia6672]

Well done. I liked the way you didn't feel the need to have the subject talking into the camera. It felt liberated and allowed me to see the story.

[@JacobJamesVlogs]

Just watched the tutorial now this. You're going to be big in the KZbin community!! More content man!

[@unboxcheapthrills]

Really, REALLY good videography. Apart from that, the music fits the video perfectly. Oh, and those sound effects at the beggining, it's very satisfying to hear them. This... I can't. This is just too beautiful.

[@kendumnodi833]

This is just awesome especially after watching your video on how it was all shot on the iPhone 5c.

[@Aadya_Mathew]

You have done a marvellous work. You literally recorded a chronicle....too commendable to do it on an iPhone

[@StoriesFound]

+Aadya Mathew Awesome! Thank you for watching. It was a labor of love for sure.

[@Emiliosw]

Amazing simplicity, content and care. Congrats!

[@JessicaGWHan]

we want more! this is beautifully done.

[@LisaFevral]

Love this video! Experimenting with shooting on iPhone as well and in the stage of ruining one canvas after another. Great job!

[@justelynnnjoelle]

wow, this was an amazing mini-documentary (I guess you'd call it). MORE VIDEOS PLEEEAAASSSEEE!!!

[@RicoWarui]

Beautifully done Bud. I'm eager to see more of your work. 👌👏👏👏

[@victorfonseca001]

Beautiful work... and shot on an iPhone?! Already subscribed for the hints to come!!! :D

[@3h33am]

[@DGMrpoetry]

Great film in my humble opinion, you've spent the last two months without posting another project, know that we are looking forward to the next one.

[@rithwiqnair537]

Great work man..and the fact you shot these on an iPhone .. sweet

[@HimmelsscheibeNebra]

Wunderbar! Sehr motivierend! Ein beeindruckender Künstler. Ein schönes Video. Vielen Dank!

[@JeromeHowardPhotography]

This was awesome... You did a great job with the equipment you had. Hell, it was a great job regardless of the equipment you had.

[@kikobohol]

Amazing! Can't believe it was shot on an iPhone.

[@VamTheWarlLock]

Just one word comes on my mind after watch you 'Suggested' Short film... n the word is "Awesome".. Really appreciate your Filmmaking and even i like the direction too. The concept used in this short film is appreciative. Keep it up guys.

[@cosmicnation]

This was great! Hope you start making more stuff soon!

[@StoriesFound]

+cosmic nation Hey, thanks! Yes, I've got a few things in the works.

[@isaiasmontess]

+Citizen Docs please continue your mobile filmmaking videos

[@palomasings]

Wow, I was so inspired by this documentary that I made my own about my father's violin workshop, shot on my Samsung S6. I kind of tried copying you, just as an exercise. Thank you!!

[@walfredcandiales]

Beautifully done. You are such a talented guy!!!

[@LifeAnyoneMedia]

This came out great! I love that it was shot on an iPhone.

[@shrimpfarmer]

Really enjoyed watching your film. I learnt a lot. Thanks.

[@theaterama3361]

Phenomenal job. Keep making films.

[@pamazzing]

this is so beautiful.

[@RavindraSDhande]

Hye i cant believe you did this with the iphone. Awesome. Your film really looks deadly professional. I liked it so much. Fantastic. A good inspiration for me to shoot more on my smartphone. Equipment is least important if story you are telling and your techniques are perfect. After all story telling is a art which you posses. Hats off for such a wonderful shoot. Lighting turned out to be really gr8. The edit was equally good. Best of luck for your future projects.

[@ruthmoore2246]

I’m so impressed you are so passionate about art great inspiration for me’’’

[@Bankfoto]

Beautiful work there

[@Supremee022]

Impresive visual film! I need watch it again because I focused on only visual part. Once again great picture :)

[@sergiojacome]

with an iphone?? u made me speachless...

[@zAiNaB00O]

thisbis awesome! great، beautiful shots

[@JorisDietz]

Amazing to see what you could do with a normal cell phone! But the horizontally moving shots are not super smooth, a tip is using an elastic strap to pull the camera over the slider! You gave a very good impression of the man's life/job through shots and music though!

[@StoriesFound]

+Jor!s Thanks for the tip! I've never tried it with the slider. Looking forward to giving it a go!

[@StoriesFound]

+Mike .N. Kamera Thanks for watching Mike! Glad you enjoyed it!

[@thagrintch]

Well made! Amazing music, can I ask what the name of this song was??

[@johnwhelan1193]

What kind of wax did you use for your pinch sculptors I would love to try that. Your real artist.

[@caldeh]

Inspiring results! Why didn't you keep going with the channel?

[@MyFunZone]

[@abhishtagatya]

[@tamseeltabasum1674]

Amazing

[@brandonleepotter]

Nice job!! Keep the content coming!

[@Arhatgoel1]

This was awesome man.. background music was a bit too loud at some points..it was a bit distracting..but other than that,it taught a me a lot, great editing..Beautiful. Would love to see your previous works, please send links.

[@StoriesFound]

+arhat goel Thanks for the tip man. I find that I have to be careful with music sometimes. I'm a bit of a romantic, and music is always an important aspect of my productions. Sometimes I get a bit swept away with it (especially if the music is powerful, or very melodics) and might be a little biased towards the music vs. the voiceover when leveling audio. Keep the feedback coming!

[@judyonzen]

very impressive work and what you filmed with. what did you use for editing?

[@cepfins4875]

So awesome

[@vershsaly]

[@sandeshraut1445]
