if only life WAS a movie. 

Dude, this is fantastic. Composition on point. Locations on point. Story on point. Entire film on point.

If our lives were movies, that'd be a LOT of editing. 😆

Dude this is incredible! Pure art

“Comfort doesn’t create adventure”. This line! ❤

well written story

“Comfort doesn’t create adventure” that one hit hard dude.

These points are brutal my man, BRUTAL. It's such a great idea and even better execution. I'm really really impressed how You described the absurd of comfort in our lives. #standingOvation

I don't know how the youtube algorithm works but man these shots, these cinematics, the script everything is on point. Felt like a perfect movei to mee.... wish it wasn't that short...!!!

1:11 what a perspective

Story over everything else. While it's exciting to talk about gear, story is without a doubt what makes a short film great. This is great, Jake. Please, make more of these, you're inspiring.

"When it comes to life the critical thing is whether you take things for granted or take them with gratitude" G.K. Chesterton. I take you and your life with gratitude. You rock Jake!

I like the freedom that comes with nothing mattering

Everyone has at least one movie moment in their life.

Dude that’s completely fire 🔥 best video I’ve seen this year from ANY creator out here!! The composition, the cut, the aspect ratio, the COLOURS!!! Just insane🔥🔥🚀

WOW. That was actually so beautiful man! From the story, to the cinematography... Just so perfect. You've been my inspiration for so long, and you NEVER fail to impress me with each video!

holy smokes this was so beautiful i cant even articulate what i felt from that

Beautiful piece! This is the type of content that should be out more in this platform, this is art, this is expression, this is a mix of emotions in 2 minutes, this is relatable, this is what people should be consuming more. Thank you for your art.

Thank you

I loved those symmetric shots and yeah great color grading

1.39 shot - wooosh lovely stuff. also the whole video is great!

I zoned out at "comfort doesn't create adventure". Not that it's a bad thing; it just made me reflect. Thank you for thought provoking videos Jake! P.S. scrolled back to mid point to listen in what you had to say. Stellar job as always!

Dude, your skills + this lens! Loved every bit of it ❤

This is definitely be one of my favorites! Lately, I have been living my life in a way that would look appealing to other people rather than me, and it consumes me so much. I thought pleasing them is what I want, but then I realized, pleasing myself is what I needed, and this video helped me with that as there is this part in the video where you kind of say that "you want to be an interesting character, so you will probably spend less time comparing yourself to other peope or scrolling through your phone, and spend more time embracing all of the weird part of yourself". There's nothing else to lose if I spend less time online. And with those words and your existence make me believe that you can do so much better if you begin to focus on yourself, on what matters to you, and on what fuels your inner creativity rather than wasting it to something that you will never benefit from. Ilysm. ❤️

What a way to shift people's perspective... This is just exactly what I needed to hear today. Thank you, Jake!

Jake I sent this video to like 5 of my closest friends this morning. The coolest video that really just puts me in a mindset to embrace life and the journey along the way. Thank you for being such a raw and authentic creator. I hope to be like you one day ❤

The aspect ratio is insane. But I definitely love it!

Comfort doesn’t create adventure 🤍

Loving the vibe brother! The roll in the park 😅 excellent vision.

Brilliant. And special shout out to your fog machine 👻

I love this video this is most cinematic video I have ever seen this year.

This is a beautiful thing. Well done.

Great video! The match cut at the end is sick

Another great video essay Jake! Now I want to write a movie just so you can be the DP for it. Fantastic shots man!

You just set up these beautiful camera angles and shots like its nothing

I keep coming back to this video over and over again. It’s seriously influential to me. My life has been feeling a lot more like a movie in the best way possible, and genuinely, it’s been amazing. I can’t wait for the next arc that’s about to start 🫶🏽🧡🩵❤

Great story! Nicely done!

Now that's a 2min video from a Movie!

This was exactly what I needed to see rn

You tell a story and capture it so well. Always enjoy watching

Hi Jake (waving hand emoji) I used to watch your videos about 2 years ago and they were awesome! BUT now a days… they are FREAKING AMAZING! Happy I found you again. Stay safe and good luck with everything in life!

Thanks for the great message! Neat! Love it! Life has meanings, but it depends on how we value it.

Loved this! Your writing and compositions you choose are 🔥 dope stuff bro

Such lovely shots! Lol the end though. 😂🥺

Man! Kudos. Brilliant work.

Beautiful film. Thank you sir. Your work inspires people.

Absolute compositional beast. What an amazing feeling. Thank you for sharing

The passion he has for video flows through the screen man...

This is an UNDERRATED piece of art & of course, LIFE.

I'm currently going through a rather morbid adventure which ironically does kind of feel like a movie, and I'm feeling very uncomfortable with it because of it. But you're absolutely right, I am seeing A LOT of interesting perspectives and moments in between. Thanks Jake, for your awesomeness.😊❤🌌ilysmt.

You are the hero in my story that encouraged me to buy a fog machine lol

Damn this speaks straight out of my soul, probably the best 2:18minute film ever... ngl

man this is so good. You're videos always give me a good boost.

anamorphic lens is fantastic.

This was such a great video again. Always a good day when you upload Jake. Deffo wish my life was more like a movie, maybe with Brian blessed narrating it. Great stunts btw

As someone who's spent nearly as much on fingerboards as I have camera bodies, those fingerboard clips really hit close to home.

Good characters have good character - love this video! thanks for sharing - I love the ultrawide look on YT videos - super cool

truly my favourite youtuber to turn to when life seems too ordinary,, thank you jake!!

Love the message!

Incredible and mesmerizing. Composition, story, film everything is creative and perfect. PURE ART.

Jake this was seriously beautiful. Truly man thank you

You keep getting better at filming yourself. Amazing work.

So beautifully shot ❤ I’ve been looking at the BMPCC 6K Pro - obviously the lack of AF would be hard if I was doing RU-vid videos in front of the camera

Dude 😂 definitely it was so cute ! Best budget lens in market and if you have sony… Uuuun.. yeah ! Hell ya. And your style bro !! Love your work !! 👐

That last part with the same angle was genius! Your work is awesome. Self filming this one?

Loved this bro, compositions & story 🔥

your life is sooo much better than i movie..

very well put!

Awesome shots Jake! Love what you did here 👏🫶

Dude, the views from North Table were made for anamorphic apparently! That was a dope shot

a lovely watch

Stunning - all the work that went into this - keep up!

Found this after watching Danny Gevirtz. Inspired me to go make something myself. Really great stuff man!
