Following Heart - The Violinist 

Wow can you please not ask Jack to make videos like he used to? Jack doesn't owe anything to an audience of teenagers. If you want boring ass tags and challenges, go watch the other thousand youtubers that create 'content' like that. Filming/watching videos like that is only a waste of time, and I'm sure Jack would prefer to be more productive with his time.

It blows me when people say they miss the old funny videos, they didn't sub for documentaries! Well go watch Marcus Butler, Alfie Dyes, Joe Sugg, and Caspar. Hell they make 1 video for you once a week with the SAME content. Do you think those funny quirky videos are going to farther their career in their 30's and 40's?? No! Jack is a film maker and has a lot of potential. Face it!

This was very very beautiful and I liked it a lorra lot

I love the way you, Jack and Finn, have chosen to use your platform on youtube, because instead of just doing the tag videos, the challenge videos, etc. you guys create meaning and you make me laugh and cry and think about the world and not just myself, and I really value that. Thank you.

This was awesome. Love how you guys are expanding your portfolio with some incredible short doco's. Big ups to Skype for giving you this opportunity though! For giving you the funds and (presumably) a bit extra to make these incredible videos. Glad to see larger corporations noticing RU-vid as a serious medium for advertising, education and entertainment. Looking forward to the next two!

This is what I want to see when I click on a video. I'm fifteen and female. 'Female teenage audience' does not necessarily mean an audience that cannot comprehend real, true content. And for those who say he cannot make films, watch the rickshaw run series. That is filmmaking.

If you're going to complain about jack's videos being boring, why not watch every other youtuber who makes tag videos for money. Jack and Finn are pursuing their common interest for film and the fact that they want to share this content with you shows you how proud they are of their works and if you're going to put down their amazing short films because they're "boring" you should probably unsubscribe because if you don't find any interest in film you shouldn't have any place to criticise them.

For everyone arguing about the old channel vs the new channel, did you even watch the video? Did you see that?? Did you hear that beautiful music she was playing?? Did you see how her face lit up when she was working with children and doing what she loved? You just watched someone's dreams come true and you're unhappy because it didn't make you laugh. Everything isn't supposed to make you laugh. Some things are meant to inspire. When God gives you a talent for making videos, you can do one of two things: Use it to make yourself famous, or use it to change the world. Thank you Jack for using your talent to change the world.

am i the only one who gets happier and happier the more they grow, i guess its because i feel like im growing with them , i hope one day i can make vids as artistic as this :)

I subscribed to you ages ago when you made quirky fun videos. Then you had your big break from youtube which lasted over 3 months. Then you posted your travel videos which I really enjoyed. But now it's just serious documentaries and things like that. I loved the old videos you made where Finn was also involved like PO Box videos and just random stuff and I get that you guys are growing up and do more serious stuff. But I think I speak for some of your subscribers when I say I'd like it if you brought back your fun, quirky videos back. As much as I love both of you, you're turning into Barcroft and I just miss your old videos because they were more enjoyable to watch but I also like your documentations and stuff like that but I think there should be a balance between serious videos and fun videos xxx

Love and support what you're doing, but also miss Finn. Can't we have the content AND the Harries' Bros. Chemistry?

I seriously had the most epic smile on my face watching her play the violin on stage with that band. It was just so inspiring.

One of the rare types of youtubers that don't promote audible.

*JACK* Your new work is inspiring and soul catching. *EVERYONE* saying ''I miss the old jack''... people *Grow & Move onto Better Things.* If you're a supporter of *JacksGap* then support him correctly. Don't be mad because he's *Growing for the better. Keep the content coming. You don't see things like this on *RU-vid* everyday.

It's really something when you feel so connected to a story that you forget you're even watching a RU-vid video. What you're doing is truly is amazing :) keep on inspiring us with your videos!

This is fantastic. Proud to say I know Danielle personally (she's my brother's girlfriend). Her passion for teaching and the violin is extraordinary. Great video, Jack.

Jack, I know people are complaining about how you are not the "fun Jack" anymore, but they clearly don't see how talented you really are. You are more than just a hot boy youtuber, you are a director, and a pretty amazing one at that. Your work is outstanding and inspired me to pursue a role in the film industry. Lets say, that you never picked up this passion and stuck to the normal RU-vid layout, I would have never taken and interest in film. And film, like Danielle and her music, is my escape. So I thank you.

Also I actually have so much respect for you Jack, pursuing what you're most passionate about even when some people complain about it. Follow your dreams.

I think that something that could make this little fight stop is maybe having two channels, one for vlogs and Q&As etc, just so people can enjoy their personalities, which is something that I think we would all enjoy since that's why we came here in the first place. But also having this main channel to post professional things like this new series and shed sessions... like things that allow them to do what they love as filmmakers.

Adored this, i love how you are changing your style - super creative and gives viewers so much more, thank you xx

I wish more youtubers were like you and cared about adding value to the world and the RU-vid community. There's a bunch of youtubers in England who just videotape each other doing stupid challenges or tags and sit on the money from RU-vid ads and provide NO valuable content. I wonder how people waste time watching their videos and it's people like you who should be noticed.

Impressive quality, Jack. When I film girls on the train with my gigantic movie camera, they all stare at me - maybe because I'm naked.

This is lovely: "I do have a dream, everyone has a dream. One of my dreams is to see a student of mine go onto bigger stages and better things than I myself accomplished. I would know at that moment that I gave them everything that I knew. That I shared with them everything that I had."

That's beyond wonderful. I was smiling throughout the whole video, cause it's pure, simple, beautifully made and with that fresh aspect, I don't know how to describe, but it made me happy. You guys make me happy. Please, never stop making videos and creating content that, also, make YOU happy.

This is amazing Jack. Truly. I love your directing/editing style. I hope one day you get to direct a full-length indie film, because the vibe you've got going on is unreal.

i dont think many people see how talented you are and how much you have grown, from your quirky less serious videos to the ones you are producing today. you have outdone yourself and i think everyone needs to realise that no one stays the same, especially when you are pursuing your dreams, you need to be everchanging. so keep changing Jack and Finn, keep reaching higher goals and keep moving forward because the loyal fans always be right behind you.

Moved to tears (@4:02),"Whenever I get to teach him it's even a treat for me because when the sun is down on the east coast it's still up in the west and it's great to see the sun shining." Completely caught me off guard!

Who else keeps replaying the part starting at 5:04?? Love that bit!!

So many people need to understand that Jack and Finn are growing up. They're moving away from the generic challenge videos to bigger and better and more mature things. Hate to say it, but they're catering to a different audience now. They obviously don't want to lose their original fan base but want to expand to make a footprint in more advanced film making that takes time and skill to edit and produce the videos. I'm no expert but I can tell they have very good editing and filming skills and videos like these are a great way for them to pursue their professional career in this industry.

I much prefer these videos over "tags" and "Q+As". Every single one of Jack's videos has such dedication and time-consuming, hard work behind it. They're not just some roughly edited and quickly thrown together videos of him sitting on a couch answering questions from twitter. Personally, Jack's videos inspire and entertain me more than RU-vidrs just talking about themselves to a camera - but if people are complaining, then so be it. There are plenty of channels out there for that kind of thing. Meanwhile, I hope that there are people who can appreciate such amazing videos as these.

You guys are doing some of the coolest videos on RU-vid right now. I wanna do more stuff like this one day. Maybe we'll even work together and change RU-vid, eh?! LOL. Keep up the great work guys. :) -Austin

I'm so disappointed with myself because I hadn't found this channel earlier. Your videos look amazing and they are truly creative and inspiring! I can't wait to watch more of your videos, they are a work of art.

To all the negative comments: go home. Jack clearly wanted to share this not only with us but with the world. This is an amazing story that deserves to be known. I am appalled by the camera work, audio and everything. Hard work was put into this and as a fan, I appreciate it!

I loved this short film. I may sound weird, but you know what I really enjoyed? The sounds. You know, the little sounds in the background, while she was talking, people passing in the underground, the trains. I don't know why, but I really liked your choice of leaving those sounds in and not just let us hear a voiceover. Plus, this story was amazing. How she uses skype and what she wants from her students. Good job, guys :)

I had chills when she started playing in the metro station. I just want to say that JacksGap has developed and became the channel which provides valuable content, arouses emotions and i'm super happy about it, thank you Jack and Finn for making RU-vid a beautiful place

*"I'm here for a reason and I need to embrace it"* my new life quote.

Insanely beautiful! Got shivers, amazing work as usual

*Dear Jack and Finn: one day you will be an amazing and successful producers of shorts and larges films and I will be more proud of you. I loved you when you made fun videos and i love you now when you share with the world this kind of content. God bless you*

As amazing as your old videos were,I am baffled by your new ones. It speaks to me on a deeper level and it's so rare to find this level of creativity ,work and thought put into a video. It's exciting watching you grow with each video,a different perspective in each that I am perplexed. I can only dream of being able to do something like this ,to come up with something so inspiring and to view life in-depth and perceive it in many different ways. Keep doing you because it's beyond words and I find myself sucked into this vortex of emotions . I think you'd make a remarkable video of a child growing up ,facing his tough times and moments of joy and watching it all fade as he meets the end . Obviously it won't happen but hey, girl can dream,right?

I can understand that people miss the old, personal videos on this channel, but I can safely say that Jacksgap has become the most inspiring and interesting channel on youtube that I know of. I love the variety, the concepts and just generally the projects. So yes, I understand that some of you might miss the old videos, but please just let them do what they want to do, because it actually inspires the majority of us and takes a different perspective. Yes, vlogs are good too, but there are so many channels that do them, so go watch them rather than trying to prevent something amazing. Thank you!

Amazing. In the best way I completely forgot I was watching a youtube video. I forgot what I'd clicked on, I forgot I was even watching this mini 'documentary' style video. I thought I was listening to her tell me her story. It just felt really raw, fluid and organic. It wasn't covered in flashy editing that takes away from the whole picture. Can't wait for the next one!

I had the biggest smile on my face throughout this entire thing. Nothing I LOVE more than hearing people's stories, and you sure do you have a way of letting people do just that. Can't wait to see the others, Jack! :'D

It's amazing how you can spread the love of music as far as California. It's truly amazing. Best wishes for Danielle Turano.

I absolutely love how her dream isn't all based on her but on her students and watching them succeed. Loved this so much

to all the people saying that this is boring, you obviously don't understand the amount of hard work and long hours it took to make this. Just because jack was brave enough to break away from the mainstream challenge or tag videos doesn't give you the right to say that his videos are 'boring' or 'not the same' because in my opinion the edit and filming is beautiful

You've once again outdone yourselves. I'm always in pure awe.

This is perfect. The quality, the sound, the theme. Her. You. It's just perfect

every few years i think of this video and come back to it it’s really beautiful ❤️

I was resisting to comment on this video. God if you can't see the messages portrayed in Jack and Finn's videos your an idiot. If you came here for pretty faces and funny videos - you've come to the wrong place. Jack's content clearly possesses the fact that he loves what he does, and so does Finn. They enjoy making and telling the stories of others through this wonderful online platform, and just because their videos are of high quality, specifically edited and precisely shot, I'm not saying that any other you tuber isn't just as special as the guys that made this video. Lifestyle vloggers, comedians, beauty vloggers, travel bloggers - all of them are unique. I suggest you watch the ones you want and enjoy. Don't criticise their work because its not up to your standards, move on and leave the rest of us to watch in peace and respect the content that we love.

i love how professional your videos are! Its really impressive the skill level you guys are on now, i love watching these small documentary types videos they are really inspiring :) loved it :)

please can we just admire the amazing content jack films. and can we please also admire the quality of his videos.

The documentary and the story behind it is amazing; but I have to say that the cinematography used to produce the video was amazing, how you set the focus throughout the video. I also loved the sound of the music faded in the background of the subway, it reminded me of the first party scene in The Great Gatsby

I enjoyed this so much, you're really progressing as a filmmaker. It really annoys me that some of your viewers don't appreciate well made content like this and instead want some shitty challenge videos. Keep up the good work Jack and the team!

This was really, REALLY great. The videography was well done, sensitive without being sentimental. The dialog gave us a good idea what is going on in her head while not being too introspective. It was just strong, legitimate film work - like so much of your work is & is becoming. I'm very thankful for you, Jack, & you, Finn - 2 guys doing such strong work in an age group & genre that sometimes seems to lack depth & breadth. I know your mum & dad are proud of you, and so am I ;-) Thanks for all you are & for all you are doing.

I absolutely love this video for two reasons: 1. The film work is amazing and just breathtaking. Everything from the music to the videography itself makes this video an amazing piece of art. Jack and Finn, you did an amazing job with this piece of work/art! 2. I love the part where she talks about her students moving on to bigger things than she had ever done because it really relates to me. I have been taking music lessons on the bass clarinet and clarinet for 4 years now and I found out a week ago that I will be playing at one of the most prestigious venues in the world, Carnegie Hall in New York, in February with the Honors Performance Series Band. I'm doing all of this at the age of 16 and I feel that this is the sense of accomplishment that my teacher must have felt when I told her about me playing on an national level in such an amazing place!

Super well-shot! Excited for the next one!

I know that a lot of people are saying this, but I agree that you should have some more videos of just you and Finn being silly like you used to. I understand that you've grown up and you're not the same teenaged boys that everyone here subscribed to but I think it's important to keep in mind that about 90% of your subscribers are still teenagers that are here to watch cute twins be funny, not serious documentaries about violinists. I support your decisions to make your content more serious and artistic and by no means think you should stop but please just remember who got you here and what got you here.

Jack's videos aren't like everyone else's, he differs from the norm. You'd think that this 'new' Jack would start up a storm but no most people want the same old stuff If you think about it, it's all a bunch of fluff Cuz videos like these are worth watching and have meaning That leave you at the end totally beaming 'Content Creator's' are like flowers amongst weeds Channels like Jacksgap are exactly what RU-vid needs. He doesn't go with everyone else It's inspirational to me Jacks always tried to be himself That's what everyone should be. Just be yourself, do what you what you do Because we need some more originality.

This is why I love Jacksgap, not only for their humour and their great personality but the way they connect with people from everywhere so willingly and it's like when they do it, you can feel every ambition they have for what they're doing as you watch the magic unfold. :')

You're directing skills showed off her beauty so miraculously. Her inner beauty & outer beauty. The passion she has for students & for herself, is inspiring & I hope everybody who sees this gets as much out of it as I did. Thank God for you Jack, for if it wasn't for you, I would not have known this beautiful woman, & for that, I'm eternally grateful. Don't stop this project for anything.

Awesome!

i am SO proud of you, i subscribed to you a few years ago because of your funny & random videos and I now see you moving on to more proffessional things such as documentaries like this one. I'm happy to see you following your dreams. You are extremely talented. - Amanda in South Florida

I smiled the whole time I was watching this, it's inspiring

You videos never fail to make me look deeper. They're like good literature versus a pop culture magazine.

This could've been an actual documentary and I would have watched it. Fantastic editing and cinematography and the music is brilliant. I hope this is just the start of many great things in your career, Jack and Finn.

This was inspiring, excited for what's to come in this series! :)

You guys never cease to amaze me, watching you grow has been such a pleasure. The content you produce is such high quality that I would pay to see it, it's a treat getting to see what projects come out of your non descriptive tweets! I can't wait for the rest of the series!

This was so good and me having a passion for music as well I related to this on a whole other level. I love how jack is one RU-vidr who doesn't waste time doing pointless vlogs but uses it to do something powerful

i love that jack and finn are moving away from the 'normal' youtube accounts with sketches, tags and funny games etc, and instead showing different ways youtube can be used to grow and develop as people and not just sticking to guidelines that people want you to be on

the content jUST KEEPS GETTING BETTER WOW

This is so beautiful! I love how you make those creative things that's so different of others. I know a lot said they miss your old videos and yeah I love your old videos too but this is so much more! This is something you don't see anywhere else! Keep up the good work! I'm in love with this!

What I love the most about this doc, is the sound of it. It sounds beautiful, the voice over is crisp and sharp and it goes well with the violin and the hustle bustle of NYC. Great job can't wait for the next videos.

This is very inspiring. I think it's something wonderful and amazing that her dream is for one of her students to become famous cause normally dreams are something that people want for theme selfs and not others.

Everything about this was beautiful. The videography, the lighting, the sound mixing, the storytelling…everything. Excellent job to everyone involved with this video!

Danielle Turano. You are an amazing woman. The energy with which you are following your dream and passion is truly inspiring.

I loved your old videos and I love these just as much jack I feel as if I've evolved with you, I started watching when you had just a few videos and now it's getting serious because you're growing and so are the rest of us, you're so inspiring and it makes me want to do so much. Thank you so much jack and keep up the amazing work!

This was so good. Can I just say, as a representative of the teenage girl demographic, that not all teenage girls watch purely funny and quirky videos. I myself don't. Yes, I loved their funny and entertaining videos but it doesn't have to be that way all the time. Not all youtubers have to be funny and make funny videos. There are many other youtubers out there for that. I love the fact that so much effort, creativity and genuine passion is put into these videos and the fact that it comes across so easily is truly something. Personally, I love these kind of videos because they can be so motivating and they give me a lot to think about. I am extremely impressed and am now looking forward to more of this series! :)

Jack and Finn haven't changed their content has and I support them 100%. It is the creator who produces and takes the time to upload videos on issues or things that THEY are interested in, if you say you're unsubbing, by all means, I'd prefer to see videos with originality that you can tell passion and dedication went into rather than 'recycled' videos. Don't get me wrong I liked Jack and Finn's old videos but just bc they stopped making them doesn't mean I'm unsubbing. Sure they may not be targeting their 'demographic' but as a creator I wouldn't want to upload just to become popular, I'd do what I'm passionate about and if ppl don't like the style so be it. I'd rather have less subscribers, but who appreciate the quality of the work than heaps of subscribers were only a few are subbed for content rather than watching based of looks. Kudos to Jack for doing what you want!

The content and meaning behind every single one of your videos are exceptional. Absolutely love the direction that y'all are taking. Appreciate it so much!!

The way you are expanding and doing new things is amazing. The mood and scene you set and taking things people otherwise wouldn't pay attention to and dragging them in. This short documentary shows who you are, all the little details that make you unique. Just like the rickshaw run, im loving them.

Wow! Absolutely love this. You have definitely found your groove Jack. I think when you are passionate about something, it shines through in the videos you make. You were a born film maker. I can't wait to see the others. I for one love the new direction of your channel. It's quite unique :) x

Such great video can't wait for the other two :)

This video touched me personally. I know it may be an ad of some sort for skype, but that doesn't take anything away from the video at all I play the violin too, and let me tell you (me, an inexperienced seventeen year old) that it's not easy at all. Danielle even probably has it easier, but I'm not taking the guts and the will away from her because she definitely has it. I can really tell that she's a determined dreamer and she is using every single bit of her power to follow her heart, and I admire her for that. I admire her so much. Living in other countries, the ones that are more less fortunate and the ones that are dealing with economic problems, can really cause musicians and artists such a huge dilemma. It casts an enormous boulder that obstructs our way towards our dream, and sadly most of the people who are faced with these boulders lack the strength and the power to get it out of the way. Instead of trying, most of us give up, and we look for another dream instead.It is absolutely heartbreaking to witness a person give up on their dream. It takes so much to follow your heart, and dreaming of being a professional in the art or music industry is like playing through life in extra hard mode. Most of the musicians in our country are underpaid and unappreciated while most of the studying musicians are uninspired and terrified because they know what awaits them in the real world. Also, it's disheartening that most of the preparing music students, the children who dream to be, lack the teachers and the proper education they need for preparation. How do you expect people to follow their dreams if they are already held back at the starting line? It amazes me how Danielle has found a way to fulfill her dream. I, along with a million people share her dream, so I really do hope that the hard work of people like her pay off. I hope in the future, following our heart isn't something we need to think about, that it's something just beyond our grasps. She really is changing the world, one student, one music gig at a time. I am truly in awe. JacksGap, I really appreciate videos like this, if I may say so. I hope you realize how special this 6 minute clip is. This video inspired me, a pre-med student and a casual violinist, to still pursue music in the long run. Thank you.

Such a beautiful video with such inspiring content. With every new video, I just feel even more proud of supporting Jack and Finn, they've come so far and the content quality is so much better and has evolved along with them. So proud. Truly inspiring.

This is absolutely incredible. It's filmed so well and so creative. Also, she's such an amazing violinist; it puts my violin playing to shame. She's very talented.

I actually really liked it, but for me personally there were a little too many moments where you had a focussed shot and then unfocussed and immediately focussed again. But the storyline and diversity of locations were amazing. Great job!

Beautiful film. Glad I found it. Wonderful story.

That was amazing!!! It's hard to believe that what I just watched was the same boy I was watching making little videos in his room. I am so proud to watch the jacksgap name grow so much!!

Why people criticise so much doing a skype commercial if at the end he just shared a good story? How could you possibly not enjoy those 6 minutes of a GREAT story? After all Jack's persuading his path as a director, so if you are a fan, you should support him. I also loved his funny random videos at his room, but I can say that his videos always make my day better. Skype is helping him to persuade his dreams, and we're getting AWESOME content back. So, Jack, keep doing what you are doing. We, the ones who really like you, will support and appreciate your dedication in a short film or vlogging in your bedroom, so thanks for all.

This was really inspirational. I love seeing people speaking about what they love with such passion. Also, great job filming, producing , editing and all that. It's a beautiful project and I'm excited to see more! Keep up the good work, Jack! 👍😃

Jack and Finn (and everyone else bts), something about this video, the way it was produced, the filming of it, it's direction... I can't put my finger on it. But this video as a whole took me to another place. Incredibly beautiful. Keep up the amazing work guys.

Amazing!! Just moved to NYC... Brooklyn in particular and am feeling very homesick. Seeing her drive, her passion, and her quote of "I'm here for a reason " really inspired me. Thank you for continuing to produce great work. You guys are truly making a difference.

Everything about your documentaries always make me smile. Just knowing that you started off as a youtuber who made funny videos and completely changed your style to do something different and creative is very refreshing to me. I can see you really have a passion for all types if film making and I love watching whatever you decide to make whether it be a documentary or a comedy video, either way I'll watch it and be impressed every time.

I love the video, the directing and editing its all amazing same with the story, I just have a hard time seeing how this is a JacksGap video, I mean if this was a random video on a website I wouldn't know this video came from the JacksGap I hit subscribe for. I am kinda sad for that, but in the other hand it was an amazing piece of work.

Yet another video that shows how incredible your filming, producing and creativity is. Absolutely adore your channel, because of the unique, meaningful videos that you guys spend what must be hours upon hours creating. Thank you for making such powerful, creative, interesting, high quality content. You guys are truly in another league when it comes to RU-vid videos.

I still feel so grateful to have seen this premiere at Buffer Festival. I am constantly amazed by the quality of your content Jack and Finn, and also by your passion for what you do. I love that you're able to expand into things you've wanted to do for a long time now and are clearly, as evident by this short doc, doing a well good job of it. Always admiring how you're using RU-vid as a platform for creating top quality and engaging content, and how far Jacksgap has come as channel and community. I'm really looking forward to the rest of the "Following Heart" series and whatever else the future holds!

Beautiful video. Great to see RU-vid creators competing with the best documentary makers, thanks to quality projects like this. Looking forward to the next!

"when the sun is down on the east coast, it's still up on the west, and its great to see the sun shine." this is such a heartwarming video! great job!

This is so beautiful and incredible! I´m so happy Skype gave you this opportunity and that we get to enjoy this piece of art and learn about these amazing women! Makes you think and appreciate the little things in life. I´m so inspired and emotional atm, all I can say is thank you and great job! lots of love xx

I'm 12 and I'm a violinist. I just want to say that I think this video and this whole series is amazing! Please please please make more!!!!!
