things are changing

The last month of 2020 was amazing for me. But it all got a bit overwhelming at times with a lot of things happening in my life, and too be quite honest I wasn't really feeling myself. I just needed to make something. And this is what I came up with, since a lot of you seemed to enjoy the super 8 New Zealand video I thought I'd make something similar, enjoy the return of soppy sam.

This entire project was shot on the Panasonic LUMIX S5, big thanks to the team over at @LumixUSA
This camera was a blast to shoot on, the 10 bit made color grading fun again.

Check out the Lumix S5 for yourself here:

Did everyone else see that pinecone with the hat on?

“Just some creative friends a couple of cameras and a little adventure is all we’ve ever needed” hit home for anyone else?

[StupidBulletsTech]

I’m an old guy, and am sometimes troubled by young people, but as I watched this, I realized I was smiling. And that it’s going to be ok. Well done Sir, well done.

So much feels man. Real beautiful piece man.

[supersecretpersonalchannel]

The honesty and genuine emotion in this make it incredibly beautiful...
Was not expecting to be in my feels this early in the morning.

One of my favorites Sam!

"Just some creative friends, a couple of cameras and a little adventure is all we’ve ever needed" what life is about right there

[Jamesmatthews]

I swear Chase is the most American bloke I've ever witnessed

[rutaemilija]

Did everyone else see that pinecone with the hat off? It was running away!

For real though, this is beautiful. And a reminder you don’t need a massive production set and gimbals and lots of gear to create something touching and epic. Thank you. This was inspiring

[ChristlerTy]

I'm itching to see where you go with this channel, Sam. Stoked to see more of your content. Just so different.

[aprjnn]

Hey, Sam! I don’t comment on youtube videos but this one’s an exemption. I’ve seen your super 8 travel film video and I have to say that it was really beautiful. It was just so heart-warming to watch. I’m glad that you made a similar one.

Thanks for this, Sam. I appreciate you.

[AlasdairBraxton]

love the truth and honesty in your vids man!

[noahlipsitz]

So much love for you and your beautiful films. Thanks for taking us back to what matters most

[EliasMendozaTV]

This is what life is about..
Make Time for your close friends spend time as much as you can with your love ones.

Sam, this was beautiful! The breadth of your creativity seems endless. Can't wait to see more!

[breffnyoreilly]

SO happy to see hard work pay off. You are my motivation Sam. Mad respect!

[samanthalodgebewellandwand]

Dude, I live for these nostalgic short cinematic beauties just as much as I love the music videos. It's 2021 -- it's refreshing to see creators who share what they want to share and represent all the facets of themselves they want to (even if it doesn't feel like they "go together" to you -- I get it). Keep just doing you Sam. THAT'S who/what we're invested in 😊

[adamo]

Awesome stuff, Sam! Thanks for sharing. I was just in Big Bear last weekend and it was awesome! I live in San Diego also, so it was definitely a nice change of scenery and mood. This video was really well done, man! Keep 'em coming, and take care!

[CTexx]

This video instantly remembered me of "If We All Die Tomorrow - Super 8 Travel Film".
The video I have watched so many times, you would not be able to count.
Everything is just perfect in that video.
Same with this one.
You are doing a great job Sam!

[manueleliasz]

Thank you for for sharing the "real Sam words" with us. You're so natural, real... no filters, no politics...
that's what we need now!
I hope you enjoy the time with your friends. One of the most important things in life. Hold on to it!
Many greetings from Germany

[oscargunn]

This is honestly so inspirational to me. Been struggling a lot with loosing my creativity and motivation. And I think this helped, so thank you. Maybe I’ll finally finish an actual video this year.
