I'm not sure how to like this film more than the once you can push the thumbs up button, it deserves 1000 times more than that. What an unbelievable testament to YOUR feelings. I will pray for your father and that you and your family are strong throughout this time.
Wow my father passed away a couple years ago… I know this feeling. It’s crazy because I randomly came across this video and it was definitely needed. ❤
it's way too early for me to be this emotional... but thank you! I really needed to hear this. I'm so sorry for what your family is going through. I've been there.
I really appreciate you watching and sharing your thoughts. It’s a tough situation, but there’s a reason for it too. Just glad to have a strong community to lean on 💪🏻
Wow, Jordan. This is an incredible, vulnerable film. The shots of your Dad are timeless and I'm so glad you were able to catch these little moments, especially the big smile with the dogs. Life can be weird because it's times like these when you want to use your gift but feel almost paralyzed by emotion and the inability to go from 0 to 1. Don't force it. It will come. Until then, just BE.
Prayers up for you, Jordan. I’m so sorry to hear all you’re going through man. Authenticity is one of the first thing i noticed about your channel vulnerability, and honesty is refreshing and something the world needs. Being the authentic version of yourself as a person and a creative isn’t something the world can replicate.
Thank you for your prayers and encouragement Ian. You shared some really wise words as well. Thankful for your friendship and for the honesty you display in your own creativity!
Just came across your channel just now and man I’m so sorry to hear about your dad. Praying for you and your family. Keep hope and press on your faith. Much love man and thanks for the courage of your honesty through.
Jordan I came by this video so randomly but I think the universe has a unique way of putting things in line. I can relate to the story with your pops, my dad just got diagnosed with cancer and i think honesty is so true when it comes to this journey called life.
Oh man. I’m really sorry to hear about your dad, especially so close to Father’s Day. It really causes a huge perspective shift, at least it has for our family. Hope you are able to spend time with him and show him your love for as long as you can
Sending my love to your family and a great message on this one man! The fact that you got this video out amidst what your family is dealing with is incredible enough. You don't need to consider yourself a failure
Thank you for the love Matty. It's crazy what the creative rat race can do to us; making us feel guilty for not creating content no matter the circumstances.
Man, I am so so sorry for what you and yours are going through. I appreciate the hell out of your honesty, transparency, and integrity my dude. I hope that all of you find peace and comfort in this time and that you know that you guys are thought of
Thank you for this comment man. We’ve absolutely been able to find peace in this time, and a lot of it has come from people like you sharing some love. Thank you 🥲
I think the greatest thing is that you were able to capture his smile. Some of us couldnt have a chance to capture anything. God bless your father and your family
Thank you so much for sharing your perspective. And you're absolutely right, it's a complete blessing to be able to have the time I have with him now. Some people lose their loved ones suddenly and don't get the chance to have these "final" moments.
I found your channel just now simply looking for a video shot on a Canon C70. While your Nike spec made me want to see more of your videos, THIS video made me subscribe. Your shots are beautiful, but the way you spoke, the honest reflection, the music, it all came together to paint a heartfelt moment in your life and I’m lucky I got to see it. Keep it going!
Thank you for this wonderful comment Harry! And sorry for my late reply. I'm glad you found this video, and I hope it helped you in any way that it could!
Praying for you and your family brother. Thank you for this. Sometimes there are stories that we need to tell. For ourselves. That honest story will ALWAYS connect more than the one that we share just because everyone else is doing it. Thank you for the reminder.
I'm so sorry to hear about your dad; thank you for sharing your art with us; even at such a difficult time 💙 you keep inspiring us with every video to be real.
All I can say is I hope you spend as much time together as possible. Don't be afraid to show him how you are feeling because that lets him know how much you care. If making a video in his honor makes you happy then you should do it because if he is as good as my dad was then all he wants is to see you happy. All the best. Subscribed.
Thank you for the encouragement Sean! We've been able to have some honest conversations lately, which has been the best part of this. Being able to laugh, cry, and communicate how we are feeling has been the saving grace of this whole process.
POWERFUL message! Thank you for expressing your authentic self and true emotions. Prayers up for your father, you and your entire family. May you each be filled with peace, love, and comfort during this moment of growth and challenge. *Be POWERFUL!*
Thank you for that message and for the prayers David! We’ve absolutely been praying for those same things, and they have been provided for us too. Very thankful for you and this community supporting my family and me during this time 🥲
You're doing it Jordan. This is an incredibly sad, but real story. You've managed to bring me to tears in 3 minutes and I really hope and pray that your dad has longer than months, even years.
Thank you for your prayers Bryce. Make memories with the ones you love; tomorrow is never promised, but I don't see it as a threat anymore. It's more of an encouragement to enjoy each moment we get with others.
Jordan my man. I'm sorry to hear about what you've been going through recently and wish you and your family all the best in these times. I love how you brought this into words and how real this film feels. It's probably the best thing I've seen in the past month ❤
that's rough. I am sorry for your situation but I appreciate the honesty. I wish you all the strength necessary to go through all of this! Keep your head up. Greetings from Germany
God bless you brother. Look towards God, you can always find comfort in him. God bless you and your family! On a side note, this is such beautiful short film, so well put together.
Thank you for the wonderful reminder. God has certainly been using this situation to cause us to look towards Him, and He always provides the peace and comfort. And thank you for watching this film! 🙏🏻
Landed on your Channel! Looking to see info on the fx3 to buy but wow Jordan you’re an inspiration to do a video during a vulnerable time in your life. I wish you and your family blessings and strength during this time. May god look over you dad health.
I honestly, wish you, your family and especially your dad all the best. Wonders do happen and i pray to god that you receive it. Keep your head up because besides this experience you are going through right now, your are an AMAZING filmmaker and you tell such great stories. Take your time.
Thank you for watching Colt! I think it’s important that we are all honest and open with what’s going on in our lives, no matter how hard it is. Hope you’re doing well!
Here I am, fumbling through keywords, youtube research for the next "big idea" for my channel. Trying to find inspiration and this film did exactly that. Inspired. Thank you for your art, vulnerability, and for giving the world a reminder of what we all need to be doing more of....being honest. Never subbed to anyone faster. Keep being you!
Wow man. This is so beautiful, one of the most incredible videos I've had the pleasure of watching in such a long time. I hope your dad is doing as well as possible
Thank you so much man! He's actually doing really well at the moment. Cancer is one of those weird things where you just don't know, but we're hoping that he's bought some real time. Hope you're doing well!
I just recently graduated from college and now everyday I wake up and I want give up on filmmaking as I feel I am failing due to lack of clients and work but something drives me as I feel so connected with film and camera work so much. I stumbled upon your channel and video and watching this I felt like I have known you for a while. I wish the best for you and your family. Thank you for this video as I feel the whole world needs to see this.
Thank you for watching Joey! It’s really easy to get down on ourselves in the creative space. The comparison game can be debilitating. I find it’s really important to tell stories you believe in, and continue to make content for yourself, no matter how far you get into client work. Please feel free to reach out whenever. We’re all in this together 💪🏻
Your raw unfiltered thoughts cuts through so many layers of fakery on youtube and is challenging to anyone who watches this. THANK YOU! I need to revisit this video periodically as a reminder. And will praying for your family.
Thank you so much! And I apologize for my late comment, I had to take a quick break from RU-vid. Thank you for your prayers, it's very uplifting to know our family has been surrounded by love during all of this. I hope you're doing well!
We love you Jordan. I know you got into filmmaking to tell real stories. That isn't lost. If anything that's probably amplified in this moment. You're incredibly talented and I know you'll stay true to who you are, whom you love, and what you love to do. We got your back brother.
Wow. This is one of the most, raw, and real stories. I’m sorry to hear about what you are all going though. Thank you for being willing to be vulnerable and be honest. Praying for healing and a peace that surpasses all understanding. In Jesus’ name I pray.
Thank you so much for the prayers, and for taking the time to comment and encourage me, man. It warms my heart knowing that other brothers and sisters are sharing this burden with us.
Thank you for that man. It’s so important to keep making memories. Not trying to ignore the realities of the situation, but trying to live regardless of what the doctors say. Thank you for the support man!
Mine was taken so suddenly I never had the time! It’s heartbreaking for real and it might be harder but count the blessing that you know and can cherish those final days and tell him, mine was taken so suddenly I was never given the chance to really tell him, I never knew in that span of time that it would be the last text I got from him and never hear from him again! Both situations are hard! Make sure you take every moment to tell him you love him! Prayers for you and your family 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Man, that breaks my heart to hear how sudden it was for you and your dad. I’m definitely thankful for still having time with him, and we’ve been more intentional with the things we say to each other, never really knowing when our last time together will be. Thank you for the prayers, and I hope you’re doing well. Loss is never easy to handle alone.
Thanks for being honest and open! I've lost my father two years ago and my mother passed away this March because of cancer. I'm a ukrainian. The war that is happening right now in my country, losing friends and even people that i actually dont even know is having a strong impact on my mental health. I've been trying to be strong, showing people that i'm fine. But I'm not. And the time come to actually be myself. To cry when i want to. To talk about my loss when i need to. To be sentimental and not trying to get over the wheel to control it.. I wish your family and you all the best. Praying for you and your father!
Sasha, I'm incredibly sorry to hear all that you have been going through. . Our natural instinct is to try to be strong for others, and it can be helpful to an extent. But it's also important to let others know how you are really doing, like you have shown in your comment. I can tell you're a strong person just from the message you shared. I will be praying for you, your family and friends, and your country
Great video, you said you're creatively drained but you still but out this. Im finding a passion for making videos. Im sorry about your dad, Im sending good vibes
@@jordanadudek Well for now im making them about my life, because I dare to thing its interesting enough ahah, also with video editing you can make almost anything look cool. For now they are kinda vloggy but Im hoping to make them more cinematic as I learn.
My wife and I lost a child in 2020. He was 1 and a half months. Freak accident, suffocated and died. I held him praying, begging God to please bring him back to life, as my wife stood beside me completely broken. I knew that God could, but I had to accept that sometimes the answer is no. It took its toll on me and took me a while to get back in the studio and record. But what I gained from that, the strength, the closeness with my wife and kids, the revelation of God’s amazing love, and his ability to comfort in the darkest moments… I would’ve never learned anyway else. Sometimes the route God takes us sucks, and it’s frustrating and confusing to say the least, but it’s what’s best for us. Hold on bro. Praying for you 👊🏽
Brother, I am so sorry to hear that about your son. I can not imagine the pain and suffering that brought you all. But I am so thankful for the way you now view that tragedy. Trials and suffering has it's place in bringing us closer to Him. God will get Glory from all of the pain, sickness, and death, just not in the way we expect. Thankful for you man 🙌🏻
Thank you for watching! Yes I did! Davinci is easily the most robust software to use for coloring. It’s been a game changer using Davinci for everything now. I recommend it 😎
This is fact ! man im sorry for what you are going through my dude. I lost my mom earlier this year.. Prayers up... when you are feeling creative just shoot me a dm
Ahh man. I’m really sorry to hear about your mom. I hope you were able to have adequate time to prepare and be with her. I know that can’t be easy man.
one of the most beautiful videos I've ever seen, thank you for inspiring cinema. Do you have the name of the track? I didn't find it by the code on musicbed. thank you for that
This brought some tears to my eyes. My dad is going through some serious health problems as well. Praying for your dad and your family 🙏🏼 Much love bro. Any update on this?
Ahh man, I’m so sorry to hear that Steven. I hope your dad starts doing better, and I will be praying for him. My dad is doing much better at the moment. His cancer is incurable, but it is responding well to treatment as far as we know. Just taking every moment I can to tell him how much we all love him!
@@jordanadudek glad to hear your dad is doing better at the moment. Yeah my dad has cancer and an incurable form of lung disease. Not totally sure how long he has left, but I’m hoping he can hang in there for at least a few more years:
@@stevenkralovec man, I’m really sorry. If you’d ever want to talk, please let me know. Not that I have the answers or anything, but just a safe space to vent. My heart’s breaking for you right now
@@jordanadudek thank you dude. That means a lot. (I thought I responded but I don’t see it here.) I want to say 100% same to you. It’s heartbreaking, but it’s strangely comforting knowing others who are going through similar difficulties. My heart goes out to you too man. I’ll reach out on Instagram if it’s cool with you?
God bless you for what's ahead. I'm glad for the time you get to spend with your father. As filmmakers, we tend to learn early on how to capture other peoples' vulnerabilities for the benefit of what we're creating, whether it's to help them or us. No matter how close we think we are to their situation, we can somehow maintain a shred of distance that allows us to do our work. The finer that line, the better we are able to communicate what's happening. That line goes away when we are the ones being affected directly. So don't think of it as a failure. Think of it as a challenge to try to capture what you're going through for others to see and feel. You're viewing from the inside for once, and it's a new perspective, not a no-win for your filmmaking.
Wow, this is a crazy insightful comment. Thank you for this perspective, as it really did give me some inspiration to capture more moments with my dad. It’s true that it’s easier to film others in their situations, and it makes it more difficult when we are the ones experiences those emotions. But you’re right, it’s important to share our stories, even in the midst of them, because it could help others in what they are going through too. Thankful for you, and thank you for being here!
@@jordanadudek I lost my father 2 years ago, so I know what you're dealing with. I appreciate the heartfelt statement you made, as it helped me process my own experience.
hi jordan, i'm Marcus a fellow creative for Singapore. I pray that God will heal your Dad and give your his peace during this difficult time. I pray for God's comfort to be in your family through this time. That love will be the language that is spoken in the family. Bless you brother, In Jesus name Amen!
Thank you so much for this incredible prayer Marcus! I've prayed a lot of the same things over my family as well. I am looking forward to seeing how God gets His glory from this
Praying for you and your family. Praying that God gives him a little bit more time to spend with you Jordan and his love ones. Praying that God gives you the strength to endure, and that God gives you peace of mind, and peace within your spirit to know that when the time comes as it will for all of us, that knowing he's in Gods hands will bring you joy, will bring you peace, will bring you closer to God Jordan, so you may know God is a merciful God, a loving God, an able God. Father God we ask just a little more time father, for we know you're a deliver Lord and you're able. Let it be your will Lord, Praise God for his Will. Thank you Lord, ❤
Thank you so much for this beautiful prayer Michael! We have been saying a very similar prayer these past few weeks. It’s wonderful to know that you and other people have been supporting us as well. Thank you so much 🥲
Wow my father passed away a couple years ago… I know this feeling. It’s crazy because I randomly came across this video and it was definitely needed. ❤
Doc, I'm incredible sorry to hear that. It's not a feeling I would wish on anybody. Everyday has to be taken as a blessing, that's for sure. I'm glad you found this video. I hope you are doing well
sending love and prayers your way jordan. your stories matter and it's okay not to have the strength to tell this one. just you being open about this is enough to make me wanna go hug my family. hang in there man!
I love the takeaway you got from this. It's spot on. Spend time with the ones you love and make memories with them now. Thank you for your love and prayers!
