[ItsMattHoff]

why doesn't this have 6 million views?!

[TheMGF1997]

as I watched this video, I kept thinking "Gosh, this guy has the same outlook of life like me! i love that i know one more person who finds life as beautiful as i do.

this video is absolutely beautiful.

[joeybeavis]

And now I haven't a different view on life, And it's better, thank you.

[bayabaj]

uhm.. love this song.. thx alot :) found it because of YOU, so .. good video :D ;) peace

[laksd56]

great video

[sleepisg00d]

i like your videos they're very sincere in the work, thanks for doing this

[egkforce]

It's really good. But I think that instead of shooting objects and nature scenes. You could maybe include pictures and scenes like children playing on the playground. That could go to the part when you said playing and carefree. But overall it's really g

[PriincessSBby]

i favourited :D

[STELHOT3]

This was pretty amazing!!

[SuperCool8945]

This makes me think that life is worth living. There are many beautiful things about life. It's not all bad and not everyone is out to get you. This is a beautiful video. Good Job.

[clumsydopegirl91]

not bad :)

[ItzViviDuhhh]

Omg are you 14? or its just from a 14 year old perspective? Cause if you are or not, this is super good. This is very emotional. I like the music in the background. You remind me of wong fu. I wanna do this too.

Check out my channel (:

[TiggerRah]

I made "Take a look around. Breathe. You're alive." my Facebook status. :D I really love this video.

[TiggerRah]

I made "Take a look around. Breathe. You're alive." as my Facebook status. :D I really love this video.

[secretwmp]

Sorry, this is too simple. I like it, but it's boring.

[MrCHlNGster]

Oh man...thats just how many of us feel..thank you , very inspiring and beautiful =). PLease keep on making more!

[hey1300able]

It's really nice. peace out man!

[dylankd1]

great Video

[tyty2733]

OKE Nice ! :D

[hockeymurph34]

reminds me of the Wong Fu Production's short films

[Serachina11]

That was truly touching, it made me cry. Great job i love it

[1hugheto]

I am interested in the average age of most people commenting this video, I believe all those who are posting positive comments are probably 12-15. This video is not particularly good, easy to film nature pieces combined with corny dialogue. This guy is 14, at his age he is probably not a wordly person with many experiences which to me makes this video worthless and is definitley not something people should look to as being beautiful.

[TheViolinIce]

One day before my birthday.

[lilolookalike]

(claps) that was beutifull!!!

[manavzx94]

seems the story of my life... :(

[sdaytrau]

keep it up! it's awsome :D Reminds me of Wong Fu Productions

[darialois]

such a calming video :) nice dialogue. i noticed school work and computer came in later while nature was the only thing when u were younger.

[ingloriousbustards]

just like some fool said, your video is preety simple and plain with average speech and okay music. but for some reason i liked it. nay. i loved it. maybe because of the 'average shots of trees, lakes and spider webs'. maybe because of the piano in the background. maybe because of the 'very average speech'... or maybe becase of the sheer beauty of the simplicity of it all. You have a talent. You are awesome. You make people happy doing what you love. Keep doing so! cheers.

[themattyj94]

@ingloriousbustards if you look through my comment, not once did i describe this video as simple or plain. I understand that simplicity is an important element in short videos as it allows for easy interpretation. However, this video is not 'simple or plain' it is meaningless. The filming does not relate to the pointless, corny speech. The only reason you enjoyed this film is because you lack the intelligence to understand that this video has no direction. Fool ..

[ingloriousbustards]

@themattyj94 awe,. i'm sorry that the words of a fool like me actually got a reply from a great guru like you. i'm honored!

[themattyj94]

@ingloriousbustards .. I was honestly looking forward to an educated debate where you would try to argue for this video. Instead, you attempt to patronise me for calling you a fool. The only problem with your response is that in your first comment you said "just like some fool said". Why you would post a hypocritical retort such as that is beyond me. If you are going to reply to my comments, please spend a little amount of time actually thinking about what you are going to say.

[ingloriousbustards]

@themattyj94 i apologise for wasting you time. it's quite clear that i know nothing about making videos and you obviously know more than me so you're more right. cheers. no hard feelings.

[1hugheto]

@ingloriousbustards dont be immature @mattyj94 is trying to have a civilised debate and you have resorted to childish sarcasm, do not turn youtube into a mockery.

[ingloriousbustards]

@1hugheto sorry to you sir, for my childish sacasm. and no i do not wish to turn youtube into a mockery.

[themattyj94]

Mate all you have done is filmed several shots of trees, lakes and spider webs, and written a very average speech that does not go anywhere. I am actually very suprised at the positive comments of this video: a poor reflection of the simplistic people who enjoy short movies like this.

[Xd291]

I like it. :]

[MiwakoMona]

pretty and a good short film

[AwmgHaxingnoob]

i'm not sure how you found me, but i am glad that you did and sent me this video!! from just watching this video... i have a VERY STRONG feeling that you're gonna make it into the big leagues, sorry if i sound corny and such, but that's just how i am, plus i find it quite interesting how we're about the same age and i could relate-ish hahaha hopefully you'll have the chance to reply. good luck on future productions

[epeefencer3035]

awesome short. made me realize that everything around me is now worth looking at.

thanks for sending the video to me. :)

[TiggerRah]

This has inspired me! You kept me entranced for the whole video. A few words of well-intentioned criticism: Something about your delivery of the words was off.... maybe try pronouncing things just a little more distinctly. But that's just my view. :)

Favorited!

[FerntearandTails]

thats how i feel



[NolansAccount]

This is undescribable its amazing that you look at stuff the way you do at age 14, watching this video is actually making me want to change the way I live, and start appreciating the small things. Its funny too i always get that spam stuff in my inbox and I never clicked on it before but I did for this and im very glad i did (:

[JennNhiVo]

this is just...wow. made me smile. made me think. made me happy

[NicoleAnne7Go]

This is very touching! And it's impressive for a 14-year-old to have this video created. Just a little comment about the quality, the video is a bit shaky. You'll get better and better everyday though, so no worries. All in all, GREAT JOB!!!

[couleurpourlecorp]

simplicity is good. well done. it's not childish like we'd expect from someone your age. the reflections are rather mature.

keep sending these videos to people, we can tell film is what you love to do.

[fastnsexy]

thanks for sharing. really needed this right now:)

[Thatkidpep]

i appreciate how most of the time when i have a video shared with me, it has no work or effort put into it. Your's was actually good. so i have to give you props!

[Dezire622]

[nebraskafrankcourtny]

Beautifully photographed, and the narrative is good because it's genuine. Keep it real, like that! Maybe try sharing more real stuff, and maybe in the forms of actual little stories or events from your life...

[ruktur100]

[EvaLeex3]

You're only 14 and you've realized and wondered about some of these things in life already and knew how to put them into words? I give serious props to you for that[= Great video. Your words are very poetic. & thank you for sending a message in my in-box. Definitely worth watching. Keep at it!!

[arandomocityfilm]

wow. this is so amazing, inspirational, and touching! especially from someone who is so close to my age!

now, constructive criticism (in the nicest way possible):

try creating less noticeable text. the text may take away from your overall message if it's too bold or big.

again, this is a great video! i loved it!

[YAYOnePiece]

this is actually really well made, im impressed xD

like others said, you sent random messages to people, and now i regret almost ignoring it :)
