thank YOU PIX for sharing this beautiful secret

[charmainespeed]

Amazing, well thought up and made, well done you x

[edutzu13]

How did you made those orange flashes?When a scene goes to another, everything it's lighted with a strange light.

[jsmonzani]

@edutzu13 Overlaid 8mm footage. I've already answered that several times in the other comments, just check them out.

[edutzu13]

@jsmonzani I'm sorry, thank you very much!:)

[jsmonzani]

@edutzu13 No problem :)

[ezeemultimedia]

Mon secret c'est le large sourire que m'a procuré ce court-métrage... Merci.

[jsmonzani]

@ezeemultimedia De rien :)

[LINAFATAFTA]

رووووووووووعه

I did

[Narahiel]

This touched me. I feel like crying tears of relief.

Thank you. :]

[AurateXYZ]

Very beautiful and exactly what I needed at the moment I viewed it. The music and the mental visualization put me in a meditative state.

[Cheesemoone]

So beautiful. I love this so much!

[Ningirsutyr]

Is it okay to change our secret in the middle after the 2nd second that our eyes are closed? :P

[jsmonzani]

@Ningirsutyr ;)

[idam982]

Hi everyone

what is the type of music played on the background? Thanks

[jsmonzani]

@idam982 I don't know the type of music that I've composed for this pieces. I would say that it's sort of minimalistic low-fi...

[idam982]

@jsmonzani Ohhhh This is amazing to receive an answer from you... I should say Awesome! You did make a magical piece, which let me dream of my dream... I can not forget the time it asked me to close my eyes, Yes I trust and did it right away... Thank You for this inspiration!!! God bless you... we r waiting for more new videos...Aida from Persia

[jsmonzani]

@idam982 Thank you! If you like this kind of music, maybe check out Amiina, Sigur Rós or Saycet. Maybe some parts with be somehow similar.

[95flamingo]

this puts a smile on my face :)

[mrsdacorr1]

I thought it was well executed, yeah, I liked it. I don't find it arrogant, but it does just tap into a space of ' the worlds a beautiful place, ' hippiedom. Not necessarily a bad thing, but cynical people will turn away.

[andressanimal]

ist very very very beautiful, and representing myself.

thanks you! Scuse me my poor english.

[andressanimal]

@andressanimal _it's, no 'ist' :)

[jsmonzani]

@andressanimal ;)

[YawehG]

I appreciate the attempt this video makes, and stylistically it's interesting, but it falls apart in the end

The tone of the narrator begins sincere but quickly turns snarky, overly familiar, and finally pompous. Encouraging people to find small, personal beauties is a nice, if unoriginal sentiment. To suddenly and forcefully include yourself in that private beauty comes off as arrogant and invasive, and dilutes the power of the exercise, making it about the narrator more than the viewer.

[jsmonzani]

@YawehG Thank you very much for the feedback, I quite appreciate it. My goal was to make something simple and really not about "me" (i.e. the narrator). Actually, none of what the narrator says is my personal experience, it's of course all fictional. The end sentence is more of a joke/lie as everybody knows that the narrator can't relate to you since it's just a movie. But sometimes, pretending to believe in a lie is a way to think differently about reality.

[pcsizmar]

what a great film

[marsvin55]

my heart!

[imanputrafattah]

Really, really like this video..it's touching =)

[picimaya]

A huge like... you made my day wonderful :)

[soleilune27]

Yes, it was wonderful. Everytime I think in my secret, I cry of happiness. It helps to remember me what really matters. Thank you for this =)

[unpajaroazulado]

♥!



[nanincumusibellica]

Absolutly beautiful! 

[nanincumusibellica]

[HiawathaMohawk]

The communist's are destroying everything beautiful.

[ilovemycatdudly]

my secret is big and amazing

[Ekelundo]

This is so beautiful. I cried. Thank you.

[kingofallthieves]

when i stumbled to this vid i thought it was a truth anti drug ad so i clicked away

[fLeigh3]

How utterly beautiful simplicity is!

[1971ojoalparche1971]

At 0:42 it says "let's think of something beautiful," and the next scene is a parasitic worm burying into someone's neck. To each their own I guess.

Other than that, fantastic.

[jsmonzani]

@1971ojoalparche1971 Haha, funny :) What you misinterpreted as a worm is a ribbon that she was holding to attach her hair :)

[vetrexo1]

@1971ojoalparche1971 Object indentification fail. lol

[marceladiasp]

[arguingeyes]

[CallMeMistressSally]

This movie made me cry... in a good way, I promise! But this is amazing, since not many videos do... This movie is beautiful, and it was so good and refreshing to relive my "secret", when mine is so far away right now. Thank you so much! ((HUGS)) and <3

[teamsplendora]

What a wondrous treasure to stumble upon. Thank you.

[mpilipenko]

huge hugs from Russia! You made my day :D

[SomeoneThatSpecial]

I like your video, but I don't like how you are in my head knowing my secret. Just kidding :D. What made you want to make this film?

[jsmonzani]

@SomeoneThatSpecial ;) Thank you. I was inspired for one to create something simple and cheerful. Seeing Miranda July's website gave me some idea and I just improvised it the same day.

[bressanorama]

I cannot think of any other movie that touched me so much ! at this very moment of my life i got the most unforgetable secret and it was amazing "sharing" it with you in my mind...cause doing that it's like i have written my secret in my mind forever.....sometimes a secret is forgotten by it's need to be hidden, but now I have this video to remind me that theres a place where a secret can be "told"...OMG....just an amazing , touching and sensitive moment.

thx

[Bamberellala]

It was beautiful, wasn't it?

For some reason this made me cry a little. I'm not sure why. But I'm okay with that.

[depelated]

What lenses/equipment do you use in your shoots? I really like your style and I'm trying to learn how to control the aesthetic in my films. Amazing Film btw.

[jsmonzani]

@depelated Thanks. Canon EOS 5D Mk II + various lenses, mainly 50mm f1.4 and 85mm f1.8

[swtanjewl]

this is a beauitful video! very meaningful! thanks for sharing! ♥

[balzac2042]

amazing video.. somebody know how called the light effect that appear in the second 3 of this video

[jsmonzani]

@balzac2042 Thanks. This effect is called Film burns (8mm in this case). Look on google for more information.

[balzac2042]

@jsmonzani hey men, so thanks for answer my question... and again exelent video

[Piigbigwig]

[nataphonic]

[jsmonzani]

@nataphonic ;) Thanks

[enjoi223]

Thank you very much for this. You dont know what youve done for me

[toombs911]

For the 3 seconds it took me where I belonged a long time ago. No sight of it, just the feeling of total calmness. Thank you!

[gigguggog]

I like it so bad ... Thank you for making me a strong will.

and so I will .

Keep doing my own secret.

[radioheadfan993]

This really is amazing! :))

[o1mathiiDK]

This little short-film is just spectacular! Just Awesome...

Anybody out there who knows the track?

[jsmonzani]

@o1mathiiDK Thank you. As you can read in the credits, I have composed the music for this specific movie (as I always do)

[PiinkGrapefruit01]

[TehHolyCheescake]

Wow <33333

[colorslife777]

[TomPatCat]

You should definitely do morelike this. Such a good way to brighten up a person's day.

[jsmonzani]

@TomPatCat Sure, but I need to find something original and different: recreating a similar video would be pointless and un-creative ;)

[TomPatCat]

Anymore like this?

[jsmonzani]

@TomPatCat Thanks! Not really, I've published more movies but they are quite different.

[equilie]

Thank you so much for this, it comes straight from the heart and goes straight to the heart of those that are ready or disposed to receiving it.

sarah

[mtklaric]

is this for 5year olds? :P

[Nickneko]

I have felling strange, my soul is cleaned after watching this

I fell that I have to share my secret with her for true from now on

Thank you \o/

[assmaxd]

Am i the only one that didn't get the point ????

[reginajeffersoncae]

it's wonderful! i'd just say i expected the paper that says "don't be scared, you are free" to fly with the wind to symbolize freedom - all i'm saying is that when i saw it, i couldn't help to FEEL it would fly anytime! please don't accept that as a criticism... i'm just sharing a feeling! this video is the closest to perfection i've seen!

[funkyjuice89]

i really like this too :) thank you

[yegtheegg]

omg i love this! soo amazing! <3 it made me smile :) 

[cjnzja]

this is one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen since a long time

[natashia1000]

Refreshing, inspiring, kind, honest and beautiful video. It's also contagious, in a very pure way.

[thechekone]

exelente video, muchas felicidades por tu trabajo. me quede sin palabras.

[gradzio1]

Amazing video and the purpose of it. But 3 seconds seemed to be not enough time to think of something cheerful, beautiful and personal. Anyway, I thought of somethink like this after the video. Thank you for that:)

[n0y0x]

sorry, didn't feel the magic everyone else in the comments mentioned.

[NorahNotion]

What is the background music you used?!



[jsmonzani]

@NorahNotion As you can read in the credits, I compose my musics specifically for each video project.

[NorahNotion]

What is the background music you used?!

[MimiMemeko]

Wow... Just... Wow...

This was a great idea executed really really well!

[SynestheticSoul]

I found this on stumble and it is so wonderful! Thank you for listening to my beautiful secret. <3

[ioanam]

[Martuelic]

[julisailor]

LOVE IT, can I put subtitles in spanish for my friends? I will tell you if I do it, and give you the credit, but just tell me what you think. :) If you don't want it, just tell me, I have no problem.

Sorry for the bad english!. Thanks for this. :)

[gugucis80]

Thank You so much - just 4 words to give in return comparatively to that beautiful and mystical feeling You gave to me!

In fact, i think that many people try and want to say the same as You, but it's all about way how to do this. Your point of view is amazing.

I closed my eyes... When I opened - I feel calm,replete and free

In video said: Let's take time everyday to think of a beautiful secret... So, I'll watch this video every day and think of my beautiful secrets - anywhere,anytime

[Lyna8D]

This is amazing. ♥

[champagnemeisje]

Beautiful, simpel and nice!

[debdebgeneva]

simply beautiful!

[kadzunk63]

This is truly amazing... so many thoughts going through my mind now. Thank you so much for this video, this GIFT. Thanks for reminding me to "count my blessings". I've seen things that I didn't even remember to have forgotten... if that makes sense ;-)

Big *hug* from Holland

[FlorinRomania]

Great job! Keep going on ... for the second part! All the best from Romania!

[vegapod]

3n19ma

[jsmonzani]

@3n19ma Thank you very much ^_^

[AF4F]

@3n19ma You wanna know why I don't like it? Because I've seen too much of things like that on television, advertising for something like credit cards or mobile phones, something totally not related to life itself. That's my private reason not to like it.

But I like it anyway - I've sent the link as a birthday gift, because it really is pretty.

[jsmonzani]

@3n19ma Thank you ^_^

[nynekats]

love love love this! thanks so much for making my morning special.
