Ep. 12 - SERENITY VALLEY

[fehquig]

Masterpiece!

[kidblood1]

Great Job !!! Nice editing !! Tight !!!

[johnreagannumber1]

Jesus Jimmy. (No pun intended to the Jesus character here!) You're in top form. Don't ever stop this. Still, 2 years on, the most original concept on YouTube featuring YouTubers.

My editing influences? You.

My first voice-over type video was because of you, my experimentation in fast paced editing with dazzling effects took off because of you. Buying 6 vintage cameras to change 'feel' and even use of roto scope, because of you.

Jimmy, you're a legend in my book. Keep this up dammit!

[VictorTheGr8]

Jimmy! I thought you died! Good to see your stuff again!

Jimmy Hook another hot video. Keep putting it out there. Too many watered down gangster movies. Viva Jimmy!

The Ludlows... Jimmy Hook... you're the man!

Glad to see this show back in action!

[JimmyHook]

Hehe--I was hoping you'd spot that one. Hope is all well with you, my friend. THANKS for watching and for your kind words!

[FantasticBabblings]

Great work, Jimmy. Tight story, crisp editing and great use of music.

[JimmyHook]

Thanks, Phil! When I look at my older videos, some are frankly way too long and could be streamlined--especially for a YT, viral video format. From now on, I'm going to shoot for 10 minutes or less. OK, I didn't quite make it on this one, but I'm getting closer. Hehe. Thanks again, Phil!

[IXGertXI]

"Aw shit fuck" Classic! Brilliant, man.

[JimmyHook]

Thanks! I'm really flattered that you have hung around and are still watching. That means the world to me. Hope you like the next one! I'm not going to wait a year this time! ;)

[IXGertXI]

You'd best not! Hey! The Super Bowl's on... what are you doin' replying to comments?? ;) (Thanks for doing it though )

[Crabfatty]

Excellent, as allways.

[JimmyHook]

Huey!! Hope you are doign well, my man! Thanks for sticking with me! I'm so glad you enjoyed this one! :)

[GettingLouder]

Epic! I am sat here with goosebumps!

Damn you're good!

[JimmyHook]

Thanks, Neil! And Thanks for your AWESOME footage of the wine bar! It really added some killer atmosphere! I'm really glad you liked this one! I'm just sorry it has been so long between videos. But I'm honestly going to do a lot more in '09! Thanks for being a part of it, and I hoep you'll be a part of more in the future! You Rock, Neil!

[GettingLouder]

No apologies or thanks needed! I would wait till the end of time for one of your episodes and it was my honour to have my footage used.

I will get round to ripping a dvd of that video I did for you one day!!

[JimmyHook]

Thanks so much, Neil! I hope we'll get to have a couple of pints together in person one day! Sooner rather than later! You Rock, Man!

[codeofsilencemovie]

I emailed this same note to Jim: GREAT episode. I'm glad to have met you, Jim. I'm quite certain I'm going to work with you someday in some capacity or recommend you to someone or something. You are far too talented for Youtube. Flawless storytelling, editing, choice of footage and music. m.o

[JimmyHook]

Thanks so much, Mike! You know I think the world of your work, too, and am glad to have met you. A lot of people dream about and talk about making movies, but you are DOING it! And you're doing it on your terms. I'll do everything I can to help Code of Silence, brother! Talk to you very soon!

[JimmyHook]

Thanks, Mr. Lions! Again, sorry for the delay in replying due to blizzard. I say again, you have nothing to be envious about. I could NEVER get on stage and make people laugh as you do. The fact that you enjoyed this truly means the world to me, my friend. You are good people. Hope to talk to you soon. DId you get my e-mail reply?

[nalts]

A wreck into a check? Well it really wasn't a wreck because my car turned out quite fine. But I am creeped by the folks in jury duty. This one retard next to me won't stop waving his hand and talking about his fame on some website.

[Edustin]

lmao

[TheFatAussieBarstard]

hahahah...Nalts old mate....we all love the Zippster....apparently Ive been hired by the Australian Government to knock off Mick Oshea....but I think its gunna get messy...according to Jimmy anyhow...lol...

[JimmyHook]

Get ready for your close-up, mate! ;)

[BattlefieldDoktor]

Great to see you're back ;o)

It was worth to wait for it! Excellent quality! :o)

PS: use 16:9 format without the letterbox

[JimmyHook]

Thanks, Doktor! I'm really glad you liked it. I had multiple problems with the 16:9 format, and finally gave up on it. But I'll try to use it for the next one! Thanks Again for watching, my friend! :)

[UpDownMostly]

Great stuff as usual buddy.  It is GREAT to see you back at it.

[DJAngelusZero]

goddam i love you videos bud. We have to work together someday. keep up the extraordinary work.

[JimmyHook]

DAVE!! Yes, we have to. It's been too long, my friend! THANKS for continuing to watch, and as always, Thanks for your friendship!

[eaglecrowowl]

It's hard to make an appropriately intelligent comment to your work. You are story telling and editing on a really high level here. It is very intelligent, creative, weird and engaging. I am really impressed by your work. I think you are doing something new here: a hybrid youtube video collab, experimental art film, mobster blockbuster, found footage film collage. AWESOME! Five stars.

[JimmyHook]

WOW! First of all, I'm SO SORRY for the delay in replying! I have been in a blizzard and without power for several days. I am just really flattered and moved by your comment. I just hope I am worthy of such high praise. You have always been a source of warmth and kindess to many people on YT, including me. I am very grateful for that. I am lucky that you watch my videos. THANKS AGAIN! :)

[eaglecrowowl]

Your Serenity Valley. This was AWESOME!

The shot starting at 4:03 that goes through the bar really blew me away. I also really like the horror faces part starting at 11:52.

[JimmyHook]

THANKS SO MUCH! The bar footage was provided with permission by Neil (his YT username is: GettingLouder). In his "5 Facts" video you can see more of the bar. In reality, it is the oldest wine bar in London, and Neil's stomping ground! I sent a link to my Mom in Florida, and she didn't care for the horror faces at all. Hehe.

[PrincessDiana161]

You never disappoint Jimmy... this was AMAZING!!!

well worth the wait!

5 Estrellas & Faved!!

[JimmyHook]

The fact that you enjoyed it means the world to me! I want you and Frankie back for the next one!! :) Thanks, and Much Love and Respect, D! :)

[NutCheese]

It's about damn time! Nice work! :D

[JimmyHook]

Thanks! I'll have to come to Stickam soon!! I miss your room! I haven't been there in so long, I forgot my password, and couldn't log in last time! I'll make a new account I guess. Much Love, K! ;)

[bearchay889]

This is great.

[JimmyHook]

Thanks so much! First Comment! :) This one is my baby. I'm really glad you enjoyed it! :)

[bearchay889]

I'm glad nobody got to it and first'd then too.
