It's talent, but it's even more effort. I can't even imagine how many hours he has spend perfecting every little transition, piece of sound design, timing, special effects for lightning, making the story and even more so making the story make sense. It's such insanely impressive work.
Lucia Brezianska Videography cause film school and TH-cam films are very different. You wouldn’t really be able to compare Sam kolder or JR AllI to Stanley Kubrick or Christopher Nolan cause they got very different routes
Can’t believe this video has dropped on the 8 year anniversary of loosing my older brother Ben, man I’m in tears. Thank you for the inspiration to come alive
Sorry for your loss Dylan. My brother is still alive and well and I still got emotional as all hell watching this and reading the comment section. I hope that the memories and experiences you had together with him will stay alive as long as you live and I wish you and your family well. Stay strong man.
I have watched this video countless times for inspiration. The amount of hard work, effort & incredible moments that have gone into this edit.. it's just flawless. There's no doubt Tim would be proud of you Sam
@@schwarzerose6137 invest half of that on something that would have good returns, starve if you need more money, network find jobs to earn more, use those returns to invest more on other things.
I honestly have no words for this. My biggest role models in life aren’t professional sport stars or famous musicians but the people in life who choose to take their own direction, go against the grain, create experiences like no other and this Sam is unreal my dude! RIP to Tim and I’m sure he is looking down on you with the biggest grin, he would be so proud. Thankyou
One of the best videos I’ve seen in a very long time Sam. Stoked we got to see it a month ago knowing what you’ve been cooking up for so long and now seeing it put out into the world 👏 proud of you and Tim would be too. ❤️ Love you dude -Thomas
@C using internet language on the internet is far from weird (maybe if he used it in a eulogy, that would be weird) also, using TH-cam to post gameplay is also far from weird....which makes your comment weird as fuck . The extreme laughter at the end too, at your own comment? get well soon
You probably dont give a shit but does anyone know a trick to log back into an Instagram account?? I was dumb forgot the password. I appreciate any tricks you can offer me
This is honestly the best video I have seen in my entire life and I've been on TH-cam and Vimeo since 2008 and consume a LOT of content. Hands down a masterpiece Sam! I'm 100% sure Tim and everyone watching will agree with me! Thank you so much for being such an inspiration man!
It took death for him to truly embrace life Samantalang tayo it took thier videos. To embrace life. Hands down for this vid. Esp. The unexpected animations.
@@jeff_gu Yup, hindi ko inexpect na medyo personal yung meaning ng video. Pero nung napanood ko, mas tumaas pa yung respeto ko sa kanya. -- Hands down.
Feeling depressed and no longer wanting to live. I watched this video and sobbed. This made me realize how life is precious. Thank you, Sam for this masterpiece.
kold: spends 500 hours editing an amazing 11 minute tribute video backed by beautiful visuals and deep emotion me: spends 500 hours trying to find the color key effect in premiere pro
Every time I feel unmotivated to chase my dreams, I come back to watch this video. It always reminds me not to quit and to keep grinding! Thank you so much for that, it means the world
I've followed you since i was 19, then my father was gone when i was 20. I realize how life is working, i started to make a solo trek to Everest Base Camp when i made it to 22 ( my first time going abroad country ). Now i became an editor and colorist in the best production house in my country. Thanks for this video man, my tears drop like hell.
I can see your father smiling of proudness from here. You are a true warrior, brother. I'm glad you made it through hell, wish you the best from the bottom of my heart.
@@brycedurham7101 nah fam; it takes more work to animate somrthing; ppl copy Sam easily with some shitty meaningless zoom presets with no purpose; ppl need to Kno when to use a transition at the right moment or else it looks too gimicky
Truly inspirational. I watch this every year on my birthday to remind myself to keep pushing those boundaries no matter how difficult it becomes, and to keep following your dreams. What a wonderful tribute and masterpiece you created for him Sam. RIP Tim.
I could see this coming ever since 'My Year 2016' was out. This must have been therapeutic for you to make, a worth it way to be able to properly goodbye your brother, while inspiring others to LIVE. Very fitting on yourself, glad you were able to take this on.
This MUST be #1 on Trending... So much respect for all your hard work, man... I, and probably the majority of the people who watched this, am speechless. Incredible! 🙏
The cinematography, the editing, the music, the story! *Perfection.* Thanks for sharing, mate (: just texted my older brother how much I love him. These creative reminders heal our world. Tim is proud.♥️
This is the best video I’ve ever seen. Easily. I don’t even know how it’s possible to create something so magnificent, the clips, editing and STORY. Truely incredible. Thank you so much, I believe your brother Tim would be looking down on you so proud.
27 years old and I sit and cry. I haven't seen anything better yet. I often watch this particular video, it is like a kick that makes you think about how you want to live your life. Thank you Sam, thanks to you I started doing what I really want to do and finally began to travel this life.
These transitions are incredible Sam, every minute of filming, travelling and editing you put into this project was worth it, I'm sure Tim would've been super proud 👊
Sam, this is from India This was your best time yet i dont know why you were away from everything, but you need to come back. You lived an extraordinary life, and its time you live like that again. Every person feel heartbreak and depression, but fuck it, live the life again. You inspired me a lot, not for film making , but to travel. Come back brother
21 years old today & lost my father this year, & this video brings me to tears every time. To everyone who’s lost a family member.. i love you all ♥️ Edit: 25 years old today & still hurts, still will feel like day 1 .. and thank you guys for reading my comment it feels good to come back here and cry :)
These transitions, sound effects, visuals, everything...are beyond me! Stunning work here! Only a burning desire can create what we all just witnessed, not a school, teacher, or any other influencer.
It’s been 4 years since this masterpiece came out and I have watched it probably a hundred times (maybe more), still it doesn’t fail to give me unreal goosebumps everytime.
Honestly, I started crying for some reason the second the animation started in the video. It touched me in so many ways. Just to think that the person i look up to, my older brother would be gone... I could not even handle the thought. On 3:15 I had to stop the video, start writing this comment and think. In my life right now, i dont really know what i want or where i want to be later on. Finished school with 18, traveled New Zealand for a whole year, had the freacking time of my life and now i dont know what to do, what to study and where to go with my future. All I want is to continue the kiwi life i had. Frick man, I struggle with motivation quite a lot tbh. I am not gonna say your video fixed my life but it showed me once again that a lot of effort can lead to something beautiful and heart warming, that is worth the struggle. I'm not gonna end here were i started damn it. I'll do something so fullfilling and amazing that I will handshake you in a couple of years and thank you for the work you put in this video and what it meant to me. I'm not even done with it and i dont want it to be finished. This is a wake up call for me. That life offers so much. You just have to put the effort in and take it. Just had to be said man. Thank you. Keep up the good work.
I definitely feel that. It's like my soul is getting shaken up, telling me man, you've got to do something. You've just got to get out there. This has been the most incredible week. I watched this for the first time last week and since then I can't stop. I'm pushing so hard my feet hurt and it feels good... I'm losing weight which is a great thing for me. I have taken so many new photos but more importantly I'm planning some big shots over the weekend. Big motivation... HUGE
"This is a Reminder to Myself, that life can end at any moment and to never let it slips thru my fingers". Reminder was like a trailer for this, it was worth waiting. You are truly legend, legend man
I lost my father 9 years ago, I always find myself revisiting this video as a form of hope. I'd like to one day be able to pay as beautiful tribute as you did for your brother.
Buildpucipuci02 bro he lost his brother and your comment shows how powerful the message in this video is. The whole message is no matter how dark your life may be at the moment you can do amazing stuff like he is if you really desire it.
his life was once like yours and he has ups and downs, this video shouldn't put you down tho it should open your eye to life and the world and make you see the world differently, it should make you want to do something and be something amazing, don't live by the worlds expectations live by your own.
Watched this video today morning and kept going back to rewatch it again. 10th time watching… Gave me chills and goosebumps. The feeding of giraffes looks like the ones at the giraffe’s center in Nairobi,Kenya .
Sam you did it. this is a true filmmaking experience, and you've been able to bring out the emotions of us viewers, I'm so sorry for your loss, but I'm insanely proud of what you've accomplished once you realized that it was an opportunity to show Tim that he was right all along. Hats off for you, Sam.
I still come back to this video every now and then. It's still one of the videos that started my filmmaking journey and one that I aspire to make one day
Sam, this impacted me, like it actually did. Thank you. The emotions that a video can make someone feel are amazing, this is the only video ive ever felt this way. Thank you. You seriously changed me.
I learnt one thing from Sam that is "Quality over quantity" He uploads video once after 2/3 months , and here it is the result, Hats off. Never Stop Creating Dear Filmmakers
I never really traveled until this year. I thought myself how to fly a drone. Got myself a set of camera gear and started traveling. So far I've done, Istanbul, Dublin, Rome and next week, I head to Iceland. Thank you for this video Sam, really means alot.
@@SoumendraMalikVlogs Its a alot of things. 1- I have a full time job and I dont spend a great deal of my income. About 50% of my income is in savings every month. 2- I choose the cheapest option I can when traveling and staying in the country I am in. This includes staying on the couchs of friends I have across the world. 3- I live like the locals and avoid tourist spots. Those are expensive. Those are just some of the ways I use to help fund my lifestyle. Oh! I also freelance while in the country I am in. Usually I try to charge a week's worth of meals. Thinking in "meals" and "transport" instead of absolute income has really pushed how far I can travel and for how long.
@@mollysingh720 I honestly think just saving as much as you can is the best idea when not traveling. While at home I don't order takeaways very often and I don't spend so much on things I don't need. If you want to start traveling, start small. I started traveling by driving 2 or 3 hours from my home town to stay over for a weekend. That got me to learn how to pack correctly and how to limit expenses while away from home. Seriously, while in Rome I stayed in Air BnBs - cooked there, and avoided a massive cost which was eating out. My best advice is to live like a student even when you earn a decent wage. And, I'm a Film Editor and videographer. I work full time and freelance on the side I hope this helped!
I don’t think I’ve ever been so emotionally moved to the point that I had to cry it out watching a cinematic film. Sam, Tim must be proud about who you’ve become today. It sure must have been hard to lose your best friend, your mentor, and your most important brother. Don’t ever let that get to you. Make sure that Tim is constantly proud and by your side.

Honestly, I started crying for some reason the second the animation started in the video. It touched me in so many ways. Just to think that the person i look up to, my older brother would be gone... I could not even handle the thought. On 3:15 I had to stop the video, start writing this comment and think. In my life right now, i dont really know what i want or where i want to be later on. Finished school with 18, traveled New Zealand for a whole year, had the freacking time of my life and now i dont know what to do, what to study and where to go with my future. All I want is to continue the kiwi life i had. Frick man, I struggle with motivation quite a lot tbh. I am not gonna say your video fixed my life but it showed me once again that a lot of effort can lead to something beautiful and heart warming, that is worth the struggle.
I'm not gonna end here were i started damn it. I'll do something so fullfilling and amazing that I will handshake you in a couple of years and thank you for the work you put in this video and what it meant to me. I'm not even done with it and i dont want it to be finished. This is a wake up call for me. That life offers so much. You just have to put the effort in and take it.
Just had to be said man. Thank you.
Keep up the good work.
I felt this.
I definitely feel that. It's like my soul is getting shaken up, telling me man, you've got to do something. You've just got to get out there. This has been the most incredible week. I watched this for the first time last week and since then I can't stop. I'm pushing so hard my feet hurt and it feels good... I'm losing weight which is a great thing for me. I have taken so many new photos but more importantly I'm planning some big shots over the weekend. Big motivation... HUGE
"This is a Reminder to Myself, that life can end at any moment and to never let it slips thru my fingers". Reminder was like a trailer for this, it was worth waiting. You are truly legend, legend man
I lost my father 9 years ago, I always find myself revisiting this video as a form of hope. I'd like to one day be able to pay as beautiful tribute as you did for your brother.
My heart was beating so fast watching this whole video. Next level.
This guy makes my life look so shit I can't even imagine.
:( really? i dont even want to know what happend to you
He should inspire you to make something out of your life :) thats the secret, you can do anything you set your mind to
Buildpucipuci02 bro he lost his brother and your comment shows how powerful the message in this video is. The whole message is no matter how dark your life may be at the moment you can do amazing stuff like he is if you really desire it.
Think you missed the point here buddy
his life was once like yours and he has ups and downs, this video shouldn't put you down tho it should open your eye to life and the world and make you see the world differently, it should make you want to do something and be something amazing, don't live by the worlds expectations live by your own.
It's over. My Year 2016 is finally not the best video on youtube anymore.
lpz damn I agree!!!
It still is, at least for me anyway
Agreed!!!!
"My Year 2016" will be a legendary video for us.
agreed my man
Watched this video today morning and kept going back to rewatch it again. 10th time watching… Gave me chills and goosebumps. The feeding of giraffes looks like the ones at the giraffe’s center in Nairobi,Kenya .
This should be on TH-cam Awards 2019.
100%
And TH-cam Rewind
It isn't
Powerful bro! Vulnerable and Breathtakingly beautiful ❤️✌🏼
Sam you did it. this is a true filmmaking experience, and you've been able to bring out the emotions of us viewers, I'm so sorry for your loss, but I'm insanely proud of what you've accomplished once you realized that it was an opportunity to show Tim that he was right all along.
Hats off for you, Sam.
I still come back to this video every now and then. It's still one of the videos that started my filmmaking journey and one that I aspire to make one day
This was art. Inspiring, emotional, thoughtful. Tim would be so proud of you.
did i click on a youtube video or the oscars award live stream? help me
Both of them is wrong, this is the Oscars award winner
*This is something most emotional I have seen in my whole life! Huge respect for you Mr. Kolder!*
I have incredible feeling as was a little crumb of his life. I can explain in easy way what I feel after watching this story. Sam! Carry on!
This is truly a beautiful piece of art. You soul can be seen. Keep it up.
he's at the top!
Sam, this impacted me, like it actually did. Thank you. The emotions that a video can make someone feel are amazing, this is the only video ive ever felt this way. Thank you. You seriously changed me.
I learnt one thing from Sam that is "Quality over quantity"
He uploads video once after 2/3 months , and here it is the result, Hats off.
Never Stop Creating Dear Filmmakers
He's the greatest inspiration
WOW, what an uplifting way to start the New Year!
One of the most impactful films I’ve seen in a long time. Amazing video Sam
This video will mark the history of TH-cam, Thank you for creating this Masterpiece.
I never really traveled until this year.
I thought myself how to fly a drone. Got myself a set of camera gear and started traveling.
So far I've done, Istanbul, Dublin, Rome and next week, I head to Iceland.
Thank you for this video Sam, really means alot.
How do you get so much money to travel all across the globe?
@@SoumendraMalikVlogs Its a alot of things.
1- I have a full time job and I dont spend a great deal of my income. About 50% of my income is in savings every month.
2- I choose the cheapest option I can when traveling and staying in the country I am in. This includes staying on the couchs of friends I have across the world.
3- I live like the locals and avoid tourist spots. Those are expensive.
Those are just some of the ways I use to help fund my lifestyle.
Oh! I also freelance while in the country I am in. Usually I try to charge a week's worth of meals. Thinking in "meals" and "transport" instead of absolute income has really pushed how far I can travel and for how long.
This is awesome man! Just continue to enjoy the life.
Hey also I want to travel...and I'm very happy for you man! Can you give me some tips ..and what is your profession?
@@mollysingh720 I honestly think just saving as much as you can is the best idea when not traveling. While at home I don't order takeaways very often and I don't spend so much on things I don't need.
If you want to start traveling, start small. I started traveling by driving 2 or 3 hours from my home town to stay over for a weekend. That got me to learn how to pack correctly and how to limit expenses while away from home.
Seriously, while in Rome I stayed in Air BnBs - cooked there, and avoided a massive cost which was eating out.
My best advice is to live like a student even when you earn a decent wage.
And, I'm a Film Editor and videographer. I work full time and freelance on the side
I hope this helped!
I don’t think I’ve ever been so emotionally moved to the point that I had to cry it out watching a cinematic film. Sam, Tim must be proud about who you’ve become today. It sure must have been hard to lose your best friend, your mentor, and your most important brother. Don’t ever let that get to you. Make sure that Tim is constantly proud and by your side.
