[@mattih]

Who wants to see more big foot? LOL hope you guys liked it 🙏🏻

[@SamHolland]

LOVED IT! Jesse is the BOMB too!

[@AndreSjoberg]

+1 for more bigfoot, youtube-exclusive tv-show next?

[@pdawggity]

i do

[@anlenke]

This was genius marketing, and of course beautifully shot. Love it Matti! “Gonna make something pretty ridiculous” and clearly had fun from the start. Great idea, Jesse

[@mattih]

Haha yea this was a fun one for sure! Thanks man 🙏🏻

[@jessesenko]

Thank you!

[@jessesenko]

So happy you guys dove into the goofiness with me and made it happen!!!

[@mattih]

Haha couldn’t have made this without you 🙏🏻 what do we do next???

[@jessesenko]

Hear me out@@mattih... A WEREWOLF who wonders where he's going to put his phone and wallet on his trip to the nude beach.

[@ErikBoles]

Just subbed your channel, you need to make more content, it's awesome. "Everything Elon Musk has a hand in is cooler than other things." :D

[@jessesenko]

On it!@@ErikBoles

[@ErikBoles]

@@mattih I’m Erik Boles, and I approved this message.

[@ErikBoles]

Dude this was SO. GOOD. The rear view mirror adjust right after finding the keys was absolute perfection. Oh snap, I missed the baby growl at the end, haha.

[@janvitekha]

Best ad I have ever seen, cool ideo, cool shots, cool video overall.

[@mattih]

Thanks man 🙏🏻 😊

[@chris_sparrows]

That was fun. Can't wait for the BTS and looking forward to more collabs with Jesse, love his sense of humor and timing.

[@mattih]

Yea Jesse is super talented 🙌🏻

[@chris_sparrows]

@@mattih Maybe you can convince him to make more on his channel. I miss his wonderfully awkward conversations with a camera.

[@jessesenko]

@@chris_sparrowsyou’re telling me!

[@chris_sparrows]

@@jessesenko I suppose I'm the pot calling the kettle black, but that's easier than focusing on my own channel.

[@mrtov_]

gotta say, love the colors and the Sasquatch costume was a banger 😂😂😂

[@RGMGFitness]

That was hysterical! Made me chuckle 🤭. Those Big Foot hands were really good! Thought it was professional makeup / artistry work at first. Very creative way to market a product. Oh, and of course more Big Foot 🦶 videos…after all your from Canada 🇨🇦. 😂😂

[@mattih]

Oh it was 🙌🏻 😊

[@Settoautofocus]

COOL COMMERCIAL...It definately got me hahaha at the end. Great work buddy.

[@sculptor_dad]

Love this 😂, had me laughing the whole way.

[@JustinLewisWeb]

Love it! Great work putting this together :D

[@JoeVanz]

This is amazing! The use of that focus pull pov shot of the house just adds to the impressive effort that went into creating this. Not to mention the directing and that kid is a natural, Well done!!

[@martinekwall4671]

Matti and your team are really breaking new grounds on YT with this short!! Great fun and I love have your channel is evolving 🤗🤗🤗

[@Bricecenturion974]

love this short film / commercial vybe ! nailed it guys

[@mattih]

Haha this was fun to try 🙌🏻

[@PhillipSkraba]

That was fantastic Matti! I absolutely loved it!! It's amazing how much music does, music and of course the wardrobe, makeup, scenography, not to mention the wonderfully natural cinematography. Superb stuff. The zipper on the shorts and beach towel is a winner 🔥

[@mattih]

Thanks man really appreciate it 🙏🏻

[@benoneilldp]

Spec ad was so so good ! Ya’ll killed it 👏🏼

[@reyesproductionDK]

It was brilliant. Thank you Matti! The sound design was just perfect.

[@mattih]

Thank you 🙌🏻 we had too much fun 😊

[@reyesproductionDK]

Yeah, I bet 😁

[@mikkelhjensen]

That is definitely my new short film / commercial! Love the humor in it 😂 Beautiful done and really nice work! I look forward to the BTS. I actually started to follow you a long time ago and I’ve always enjoyed your videos. But I REALLY enjoy your shift into cinematography, BTS and everything in between 🎥 Thank you for great knowledge and superb content ✌️

[@victorcarmelo8606]

Brilliant fun, More please!

[@takeapictureoflife]

Man i love this short film, it's perfect in everything!😂🔥

[@mattih]

🙏🏻 haha thank you

[@KathrynMosley]

I wish this was posted on Jesse’s channel. He’s an incredible creator!

[@Geekistaan]

loved it!

[@Henri979]

I am so happy for you that you have an Mini LF 🎉❤ Looking forward the content that will come 🎉🎉❤

[@mattih]

Yea now it’s time to shoot a lot more with it 🙌🏻

[@adamliefl]

Credit great direction ;)

[@terryh7634]

That was hilarious Jesse.... nice job everyone!

[@11dmju]

[@AdityaVarma]

Beautiful!

[@topherken]

Love it! Great work!

[@mattih]

🙏🏻 😊

[@dyvonvisuals]

This was honestly very creative and entertaining... Wish KZbin would show me this type of ads only

[@Edward_Monge]

😂😂😂 Well done Matti

[@mattih]

😂 sometimes this get a bit crazy over here haha

[@AnthonyHadleyJr]

Love that ending 😂

[@sembalo1776]

i like how the clothes barely have any branding on them, loved that short XD

[@AndreSjoberg]

That was an amazing little movie :D Just wanted to say a quick *thanks* for all your videos and inspiration the last years, finally managed to finish editing and post my first proper video on my channel a couple of days ago, and that would *not* have happened if I hadn’t stumbled upon your channel at the start of the pandemic as well as Mr. McKinnons channel and Teppo’s and lately Timo Vehkaoja’s channel - so *thank you* for amazing stuff, looking forward to what comes next, and if this «impossible» video is anything to go by it will be a lot of fun :)

[@mattih]

Thanks man really appreciate that and keep it going 🙌🏻

[@AndreSjoberg]

@@mattih Thanks man, appreciate it :D the grind is *on* now for sure, got 40 views during first 48 hours on that first proper video and 10 new subscribers, so world domination is next - Don’t you *really* wish you where back at the beginning again with the thrill of counting subscribers in single digits ;)

[@TheJoshuaPeg]

The quality of the Alexa Mini looks fantastic!

[@mattih]

Just starting to get use to it 🙌🏻

[@mike_s_media]

That commercial was great! Now I want to see the same thing shot on a simple mirrorless camera a7SIII or the like.

[@mattih]

I have a feeling it woulda been better to be honest haha. We coulda moved faster and got more shots

[@seanmartinflix]

This was awesome. I guess he is real. Also your clothing line up looks freaking awesome. I like the shorts I'm going to check the store right now to see if they come in long form. Cuz I wear track pants / sweatpants that are very similar to that but not quite as groovy looking. Like all the time. Maybe pick up a hoodie anyways. So hopefully you have something like that but if you don't you get on it cuz you'll have at least one customer. Always great stuff really taught me so much over the time I've been watching you and in recent times it's been so fun to watch your progression and so inspiring big influence on me. You're kind of where I wish I was. But we're all on our own path and I'm having a blast where I'm at too. Much love.

[@mattih]

Thanks man appreciate it 🙏🏻

[@juliankurwan7357]

Okay not that often that i comment but have to say loved the twist at the end to NMO Just inspired me filming a funny spec add my self :)

[@GrantMFletcher]

Can I just say I love my NMO shorts & NMO hoodie 😍 And also those film header transitions are FIRE 🤓😉

[@mattih]

People are gonna like them transitions 😉

[@MyFlamingoe]

Concept was brilliant!

[@TuckerPearce]

Fun project Matti, well done!

[@iamkamsai]

2023 we do worldwide shipping now Matti 😂

[@John_Krone]

LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!! 😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁

[@mattih]

😂

[@JeffHanesworld]

This was amaizing ...... Genius marketting Waiting for 1M VIEWS

[@mattih]

Haha doubt it but it was fun! 🙏🏻

[@sweet4nice2003]

love the shorts ...wish we could get those in South Arica...

[@mattih]

Sorrry!!

[@DanielBender]

This is hilarious😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Well done guys!

[@Tyski_Ty]

lmao bigfoot was there for at least a 16 months from the looks of that sasquach baby 😂 So many unanswered questions here 😂 1) why did this guy leave his car in the middle of the forest 😂 2) how did he dropped so much important things that set the plot 😂 3) how did this bike man buy starbucks coffee just to not sip any of it before he left 😂 4) how the family with years of love not know that wasn't the dad 😂 the fact none of these aren't answered makes this the most funniest creative commercial !!! Jolly Good Show 👏👏

[@darrylsmart1]

SHot in my hometown in Waterford rumour has it. My guy Adam was hilarious as the bike rider.

[@adamliefl]

Thanks buddeh!

[@heynow2880]

I like the short film. Great to see you using the Arri. Footage looks great!!

[@petejobson5036]

I was about to say this feels way more like a commercial than a short film… then it was a commercial haha 😂

[@debbieeastham5372]

That was freakin brilliant guys I loved it 👍👍😁

[@innerlocus]

Perfecto! 👌🏻

[@mattih]

🙏🏻

[@WhySteve]

Damn but that Alexa's looking goooooood.....

[@JoseSpenaN]

omg super good! luv it!

[@lucasmellergard1902]

Love it 😂

[@ThruVisualMedia]

Jajajajajaja That was funny...for a second I thought the Sasquatch was Peter....LOLzzzzzz

[@mattih]

Haha that woulda been even better lol

[@ThruVisualMedia]

@@mattih Dude the Baby at the end was priceless!

[@kevingutteridge5179]

Great short film so funny nice little story brilliantly done it would be great to see more short films on your vlog

[@NoahKota]

That was absolutely amazing, honestly amazed at what u guys accomplished on this one. My only small criticism would be I wish the product reveal tied a bit more into the actual storyline. The transition into a completely new world with a new character and the one wheel board just felt a little out of place. Everything else was spectacular though

[@NajeeRichardson1]

Freaking loved this! That commercial was amazing!

[@chickenandricecrew9867]

What a great commercial loved it so much. Was funny and entertaining such a genius idea. 😀👍

[@TylerWells]

hahaha - turned out so good! 👣

[@mattih]

Haha who knew we could do something like that 🤷‍♂️ 😂

[@dpayneshots]

That was so awesome

[@fractalfxproductions]

Haha! Well done! Looks like tons of fun. Great shots. Shouldn't be too hard to cut it to a 30 second as.

[@jxboba]

Great stuff. Congratulations. May ask what was your production budget?

[@atalsfunkitchen1740]

Daaaaamn!!! This is just sweeet

[@vividmotion66]

Funny stuff. Is the grain added or natural from the ARRI log?

[@eedoamitay3341]

I think the key to all of this was the big foot baby

[@jdavevisuals]

the first minute could be a car commercial

[@MattAitia]

I knew big foot was real! Loved the video

[@camorawstudio]

Très bien réalisé, bien joué !👏

[@Benjamin_Jehne]

This looks really like a commercial. Good work.

[@mattih]

😊

[@clintondorr]

😂 loved that!

[@marcusryderborn]

I thought it was Peter Lindgren that got the job as Bigfoot at first! 😅

[@marto83t]

I see the jackets.I want it!

[@mattih]

Coming! Hopefully soon enough 😊

[@MrMuralikrishna1982]

short & Sweet 👌

[@collinsnash6604]

excellent work done where can i get those beast gloves

[@cmfigueiredo]

Awesome 🎉

[@geneyoon11]

Hahaha this was great 😂

[@mattih]

LOL sometimes you gotta get a lil wild 😂

[@PhilFlock]

That's funny. We shot a Bigfoot proof of concept too recently. This one might actually gonna be made. Very exciting times rn Wish us luck!

[@luisvargas2192]

Great Vid

[@erickabdiellanda]

Awesome

[@DiamondDirtBikeDuo]

Where did you get the gloves?

[@Canongang]

Was there added noise or super high iso?

[@bradleyc6564]

The is quality window is getting much smaller between cameras. Alexa is untouchable, but the FX3 stuff you do is honestly comparable to this.

[@mattih]

100%. Especially on KZbin everything gets a big dumbed down. On full quality still a pretty big difference tho

[@martykauffman]

Dang I’ve never seen a beach towel with a zipper in it. Great idea

[@mattih]

It’s so good! 😊

[@lucafo8913]

👏👏👏👏 ❤

[@REVIEWSONTHERUN]

Haha! Cool video! ✌️

[@andrewway8435]

Suggestions :- the focus in the start after sasquatch was introduced should have been on the guy and his stuff actually falling from his pockets to give context to viewers immediately that its important bit in this ad. Also, there was disconnect between the ad and final scene. It would have made much more sense if the person who lost his documents was the one to actually wear those shorts with zip pockets showing as if he learned from his mistake. it would be even funnier if the sasquatch had handed him the zip shorts in the end to make him understand the importance of those zip pockets so that it doesn't happen again. To the normal viewer its very hard to make connection unless they really think about the ad which is rare in most cases because the focus is too much on sasquatch and his antics. Sure in youtube spce they might watch again and understand it but in general in fast moving ad space if this was on tv or between video, they wont.

[@lacaraja]

We demand those shorts in Latin America. AHORA!!!!

[@hashirahmed1232]

at first i thought its a commercial for glasses

[@DJILLEE]

That was fantastic! Great job all around! The only thing I didn't love was the amount of chromatic abboration 49 seconds in. I can deal with a little bit but it was distracting. Obviously not a "you" thing but a characteristic of the lens. Everything else was really well done! fantastic job Matti and team!

[@thenewyorkgamer]

Do you sell the Japanese style overlay transition in this video ?

[@mattih]

Coming soon! 😊 stay tuned

[@stephanebelanger528]

tres drole... I laught a lot. Very good comedy pub.

[@vincentkipping8353]

👌🏻

[@ClefordBiongan]

haha this is kyut

[@jacksonbaker430]

This short film was actually so good. Everything smoth, didn’t feel lost in it at all, and the emotions in it where great!!!! Amazing job to everyone who worked on it!!!!!

[@Nellemark]

Matt film shot using sony a6700 pls

[@krishnayalla676]

Fun project, but it seems like a higher end mirrorless or entry level cinema camera would have generated a similar end result. Why go with the LF?

[@zanastrange1878]
