This is a perfect representation of how life should be lived.
and this is actually the best comment on a video like this.
This should be an advert for Canadian tourism.
Yea good idea
it is basically. They did sponsor the trip.
It will be
This should be an advert for life.
little did you know, it is mate!
I remember watching Ben and Steve years ago and binging these vlogs. So crazy to come back now and see these memories theyve made.
I dont follow them now but wish them all the best ,you have entertained me alot over the years. Thankyou.
cant help but miss the old ben
is it weird that i cried watching this? what nature can do, astounds me and Ben's filming is spot on. I can't deal.
lol i cried too!
Same man, I am a Canadian living in Dubai, im from Ontario but I spent a good part of my summer where he filmed this. This video was so powerful for me because I really miss the nature and lifestyle in Canada and I've never seen it caputred so beautifully.
So did I.. So thankful to be Canadian.
This was like nature/filmy/photography eye porn. I liked it a LOT. x
:D thank you x
Ben Brown Either a secret account, or IMPOSTER!!
Ben....you 'captured' ..Canada..thank you!!........freakin 'AMAZING'...I love seeing world travels.. and you did it!!.. you are our new future of film makers....whether short long films or documentaries.... you took us there!! ...wherever 'there' is!!!.... #blown..#keepdreamingbig .#stayinspired..(side note:you made Steve look good in front of the lens_haaha) __be blessed
Sprinkleofglitter Very well put, Louise ;-)
something extremely satisfying about the rope resisting the boat and the sound it made at 0:37
I agree :)
+gains Yes! especially if you grew up around boats!
+gains amaizing how such a small thing can bring memories from summer vacations at our summer cottage
This literally made me cry
Because nature is wonderful
lol go get therapy dude
Get emotions dude
+Radio-Ladio
the quality and the cuts make u cry
Me too
Ben!... I am completely lost for words! I'm not the type of guy to physically express his emotions, but that took me to the verge of shedding a tear! - If it were any other day, you'd have better luck squeezing blood out of a rock! But looking back at the memories that you were a part of in Canada and watching the vlog's at the time of you being there made myself and I think all of us feel like we were there with you!
I don't even live in Canada but that last shot of the Canadian flag made me feel strangely patriotic and if that's any indication as to how good this film was to me personally, I hope you feel the urge to give yourself a pat on the back because that my friend was a thing of beauty; and what I believe 'Visual Vibes' is all about! 😊
That's awesome man!
If I had a hat, I'll take it off. Well done Ben!
already enjoy watching your daily vlogs, but damn, this is so good!
Du guckst auch seine Vlogs?
Von ihm kannst du lernen ;) schau ihn auch ist echt cool !
Hi Dner ;D :P
Dner, du guckst Ben Brown ? Guckst du auch fun for louis ?
This isn't just an advert for Canada, this is an advert for Earth.
If he filmed some parts during the summer, it looks even better with the sun out! :)
Ben. Come back to doing this. This is what we love. Idk about you, but this seems like what you love too.
I know these are called VISUAL vibes but the attention you pay to the sound always blows me away especially with this one and the India one, the natural sound of the rope and the helicopter for example just really add something special to it.
Wow. I'm speechless. This film is beyond beautiful! I love the cinematography and background music. Plus, I may have teared up a little towards the end, on the "climax" of the video, as it gave me serious chills. I love it Ben! Amazing work!
Couldn't have said it better 👌
This dude is super underrated! I like his style better than casey's.
Still to this day, this is my favourite video on youtube.
Not only does this show off the beauty of Canada but it also shows of the beauty of friendship!
Out of all the internet, I don't know how this doesn't have millions of views, the creativity, hard work and passion displayed in this video is incredible. Ben Brown is incredibly talented and this video is just breath-taking. Regardless of what you like to watch, this is undoubtedly an undervalued video. Congrats Ben, keep making this sensuous content :)
I like that not every shot is perfect. It shows some human errors like shaking. BUT that is exactly what makes this video so perfect to me.
anyone else watching all the visual vibes again preparing themselves for the arctic one?!
YES!!! Waiting to be uploaded
SAME:"D
And the arctic one was amazing!
Wow. Who else got chills whilst watching this? This is a masterpiece Ben, you should be so proud of yourself. I can't wait for the day when everybody knows your name, where you get the recognition you deserve. This was absolutely breathtaking!
Chills upon chills
ditto here!
Well this is bloomin' beautiful. I think I forgot to breathe while watching it!
Different times.... different Ben!
Who’s reading this on 2020 please stay healthy!
I don't know how many times I've watched this now, and I probably commented twice already before this, but this is still the n°1 film you've made and I keep coming back to it. It's just perfect. I really really really hope you have some plans for similar visual vibes like this in the near future. :)
hey man, sorry to spam, but if you enjoy this kind of content, you might like some of the stuff on my channel. I have basically no subs yet, but I'm making some work that I'm really proud of. you might like it:)
Couldn't agree more with you mate well said!
Haha I feel exactly the same!! Ben Brown, you are amazing!
His arctic one is amazing
You know this line from 'The Perks of Being a Wallflower', when they're riding a car and Charlie says: "And in this moment I swear, we are infinite."?! - that's how this Visual Vibes made me feel. It's overwhelming. Heavenly beautiful. And .. timeless, perhaps.
And you're a great friend Ben. Your friendship skills are on point :)
I literally watch this every day and I tear up every damn time. I showed it to my friend tonight and she started tearing up as well. You always deliver 110% into every video you do and I haven't been able to stop watching. Keep on doing you, dude. And we'll keep watching. You're truly an inspiration to so many people.
OMG ! SAME! I watched this the day he put it out and I'm currently showing my friend over Skype lol She's in love with Ben now! I just seriously wanna work hard and travel with a good group of friends .. ugh I'm speechless
After almost 8 years, this is still one of my favorite travel videos ever. Breathtaking! Great job! You and your videos got me into photography/video. One day (or in another lifetime) I hope to buy you a beer to thank you for that!
Wow, thank you! :)
I need to explore my country more!
This was beautiful.
You are no longer a guy who does kool blogs.
You are a filmmaker.
James Omoerah ya know, James, I figured it would be good, but Ben went to a whole new & greater level with this film.
BEN DUDE! Before you left I hadn't seen the ending and WOW man I am so stoked to see how much you have grown as a filmmaker from cinematography to the edit desk this film is BEAUTIFUL! Congrats again :)
Visual Vibes move my soul.
I watch this video a few times a year, and it never ceases to amaze me
Ben when you're back in England or South Africa take a whole day out of your schedule and just read every comment on this video because you need to know yourself just how amazing this one is its out done any other visual vibes video which was already brilliant enough! This video really is astonishing
Also - on a bit of a morbid side - the fact that this was uploaded today, on the day that there were three shootings at Parliament, just reminds me that we (Canada) are a great nation, and there is so much more out there than the terror that might happen everyday. This video honestly reminds me to keep moving forward, and to go out and live before your life could be taken away.
Thank you so much Ben. Thank you. x
cant stop coming back to this, 9 years later. helps me feel at home in my birthplace that has changed so very much, as have i! forever will be my inspiration to pick up a camera.
As a Canadian, living in Australia, this video makes me so home sick you have no idea. Beautifully done.
such an incredible video
Luv you laur!
This Visual Vibes was peak Ben Brown as TH-camr. Really thought he’d take TH-cam videos to a new level as an art form. Glad the younger crop up and coming TH-camrs are taking up the challenge of innovating TH-cam.
THIS GIVES ME CHILLS EVERY TIME I WATCH IT. DYING TO SEE ARCTIC VISUAL VIBES PLS BEN PLS.
holy shit ben you have out done yourself, this is so so SO epic!
I completely agree! This video was incredible!
Agreed! Another step up!
Absolutely top notch unreal how good some of these shots are, also now is a good time to appreciate the beauty Canada has to offer when all the mass media outlets are just focusing on the shootings.
I come back to this video from time to time. It’s such a beautiful representation of friendship. Also, the music and the scenery makes this the perfect ‘visual vibes’
One of the best TH-cam video's I've ever watched. I'm feeling inspired to visit Canada.
Abigail Alice I feel proud to live in Canada.
Ben, I have made you part of my morning routine. I watch your (& Louis's) vlog each day as I set up for the day. I got to say I was SUPER excited when after I logged in this morning I saw this video was uploaded.
The Browines & I have heard you mention it so often, it's amazing to finally see it. It was worth the wait too. Great work!!
Steffi Cherry, I live in Australia so I get the videos perfectly lined up to be logging into my computer for work, eating breakfast & setting up for the day. It helps inspire me for the day.
I'm hoping to join them as a daily vlogger myself from January. I will be traveling through Malaysia & the Indian Subcontinent for a month as the beginning of my blogging life but I can tell you. I'll still be watching these =)
hopefully, I can make videos that people want to watch =)
With any luck I might become part of the daily routine as well. I think it would be nice to see a woman traveling the world the way these guys do :D
Quite literally the BEST video on TH-cam. What a masterpiece you've put together, well done!
My fellow Canadians, let's get this to 1,000,000 views.
I'm from Colorado and I've viewed this at least 100 times, people all around the world are watching this again and again. Because Canada is perfect
Haha, true my friend! Colorado is pretty amazing too! Have you come up to the North before?
Vancouver is.... absolutely stunning I want to go to Whistler and out East to Calgary so baaaaaaad
I have a very messy exam tomorrow, (supposed to write it delayed due to a semester abroad), but then I saw your video and thought "Hell yes, it was all worth it". Canada was the best destination for a semester abroad I could ever have and the hardest part now is that I'm already feeling homesick even though I'm in my officially home Germany since just 2,5 months. A huge part of my heart and soul belongs to Canada now and one day I'll come back.
I was tearing up, this was by far the most beautiful film you have made yet Ben, Bravo.
Ben, as a Canadian I can't thank you enough for this video. Especially after the day we all just had. This is so incredibly beautiful.
Watching this video inspires me so much to go create. It has to inspire you the same Ben. Making something like this again might even be therapeutic ❤
Love coming back to this video
Get emotional in a good way
MANS TO TALENTED
This is incredible
I feel as this should be an advert for youtube or Google due to its excellent. Hats off Mr brown
Here I am a just over a year later. This video still amazes me to this day.
This film is so incredible. Canada has been on my list forever and I'm dying to be there one day. I've watched this video a billion times since you've uploaded it last year and each time it takes my breath away and gives me goosebumps.
Outstanding work Ben - your cinematography skills blow most TH-camr vloggers out of the water!
So I've currently been having a bit of a creative identity crisis and I needed something like this to bring it back. You have such a great talent that I can only hope to achieve one day!
Stay amazing and thank you for keeping the spark alive.
Astoundingly beautiful and amazing my man. I loved every second of it. I got goose bumps watching, so I can only imagine what you guys felt. I'd love to experience something like this though. This is living, and doing it truly well.
I live in Toronto, never really seen the west part of Canada but man does it look beautiful. Canada sure is such a beautiful country, so much more to explore, so much more to see and so much more adventures. Also awesome job Mr. Ben Brown :P
Calgary's a pretty affordable place if you want a bit of city and adventure.
Still one of the best videos I’ve ever watched, what an adventure!
I just shed some damn tears over this. The music just drove it home. By far the BEST Visual Vibes you've ever done. Thank you for sharing with us!
I told you at Buffer Festival, I'll say it again mate: this film makes me so proud to be Canadian!
Canadians are known to be quiet about their national pride. You've succeeded in making every Canadian I've known to watch this so incredibly proud.
Following a tragic day in Canada, this video is pure Canadian eye candy to remind us Canadians of how lucky we are to live here. Our beautiful land so well captured.
The world needs to see this and head over.
Bravo Ben.
4 years later and I'm still in complete awe when I watch this. Definitely the best you've ever made ♡
Watching this makes me so proud to call Canada home.
I had tears in my eyes watching this and all I could think about was how proud I am of you! Your film-making skills have increased so much (which I didn't think was possible) and the editing was on point! I adore you and this video! Also, on behalf of Canadians, I would like to thank you for making this beautiful film showcasing exactly why we love our country. You captured the extreme beauty so well and I can't think of anything else to say because honestly, this video left me speechless. Absolutely amazing! Well done Ben Brown! :)
literally brought tears to my eyes...
As a Canadian I would like to say you captured Canada so beautifully, it makes me proud to be a Canadian, and from this beautiful country. This video makes me want to explore all of Canada and to see all of it's natural beauty! Amazing video!
This just makes me love my country even more!
+BeautyBliss101 Totally agree!
Gives me even more reason to move their if Dondald trump ends up in office.
Re-watching this, it makes me so emotional because this video started my dream to visit Banff. At that moment, when the video was released I had never been on a plane before. So, in reality visiting another country seemed like a really crazy dream. Four years after watching this video, I got on a plane, its destination was Vancouver. I stayed there for two months, it was the best thing that has ever happened to me so far. After that trip I've been able to visit other places. Thanks Ben for making amazing films. I hope you start making visual vibes again.
I love the progression in this. It's not just a high-end video of intoxicating class, it's driven by emotion - the way the shots have been organised to fall into each other is what gels it together. This deserves every bit of exposure, so that we can all enjoy the future content for what I hope is to come!
To make something as beautiful as this, I think you see the world in a very special way. You see every moment as an opportunity to capture something extraordinary to film, to be enjoyed countless times. You truly have a wonderful talent for this. I can't wait to see where the adventure takes you next.
this is probably the best film I've ever seen, it's cinematicley beautiful
Man, don't know how many times I have watched this and it inspires me every time. I watch this when I'm in a slump in life and need some inspiration. Cannot wait for more visual vibes and I'm sure I'm not the only one!
This is actually so amazing. I really really want Ben to make a visual vibes of New Zealand because I live here and I feel like I sometimes fail to see the beauty in my own country and idk he probably never will but I would just like this a lot and I wonder how many Canadian people are watching this and thinking that their own country is so beautiful and maybe realising that they had never noticed before?
New Zealand looks amazing! I seen an advertisement onetime at the movie theatre it was really cool I would really like to go there one day. I mean I knew Canada was beautiful but I didn't know it was this amazing and i wish I could get out there more often and explore, see it with my own eyes.
Feeling really thankful for being a Canadian! !!
Great job on the video guys - the more I travel through this great land the more I'm amazed at the beauty that surrounds us. I saw so many things this year from travelling that made me realize how lucky we are to be Canadian.
SO beautiful. Cant wait to go here in a few months!
I'm actually BLOWN away. This is the most stunning short film I've seen this year - absolute hands down. So inspiring! You've come a long way. I think investing in that camera was the best thing you could have done - regardless of what the feedback was. Just immaculate in every aspect. The videography & production can't get much better!
I dread to think how many hours of hard work you've put into this, trawling through footage and how stressed out you've been, while creating it....
But sir. This is absolutely incredible. And a solid 10 out of 10. Well worked. Every single minute of editing was worth this. And you got it bang on.
I can only wait for more of your films! And I'd LOVE to see some in 4k.
Ben. This is amazing and I congratulate you on your achievements with yet another incredible film. You should be very proud!
This film inspired me to go to Canada for the first time in 2015, since decided to move there. The movie still gives me chills and feels
One of the best films about Canada
This shows, the world we live In is beautiful! :))
So so proud of you Ben! It's so great seeing how far you've come! From the go-pro vlogging days, to traveling the world and releasing high-quality content! Keep at it bro, you're amazing at what you do!
Yasmin I agree, well done Ben!
Yasmin booking my next flight to canada lol
what camera did you use?
There isn't a word in any language that could possibly have the power to describe the magic you weave into every single thing you do.
I know we only see snippets of your life, and I'm under no illusion that I know you personally, but what I do see is a human being who inspires thousands of people across the globe to not just pursue their dreams, but to become and evolve as a person, to be someone who works hard, someone who searches for the positives and carries out their lives in endless endeavour to do something good with the time we have. I'm pretty sure my day would be rendered uncomplete without your wise words at the end of each video.
Yet again, I am overwhelmed by your talent, and I know, I will continue to be for as long as you share your life with us.
So thanks, Ben, for making so many people smile. :) I included. (Obviously). ;)
I almost cried at 4:32, thank you Ben.
NickGoesHAM
Very powerful image is that!
the magic about these visual vibes is that every frame is spot on just like an high end photograph. Color wise - composition wise just great !
Ben it turned out so amazing!! I had tears in my eyes.. This is literally one of the best things I've ever seen in my entire life! You captured so much beauty in this 5 minutes.. Ben I really hope this is just the begining! You're an amazing movie maker! I wanna be like you! You're my biggest inspiration. Meeting you is definetly on my bucket list! Ben this is really your masterpiece..
I really can't get over it.. It's so breathtaking! You did an amazing job! Keep up the good work!
Okay love you, bye! ❤️
I also had tears in my eyes at one point!
This is just breathtaking, I can't believe you managed to film so much alongside your normal vlogs and just enjoying yourself at the same time! You're an extremely talented film maker and you definitely inspire many with such stunning cinematography :)
Possibly one of the most beautiful videos ever made...the attention to detail, every 'life sound' the clips, the belts, the ropes, the splashes, the breath...OMG, Ben. You suffer because of your genius, but you are our hero. I've been revisiting this video since it was first made 5 years ago, and it still makes me cry.
This video has always been my go to video if i need inspiration and motivation. It's so therapeutic in a way. Like i feel calm, and everything will be alright and things will fall into place eventually. It makes me so determined and want to be able to be and do what Ben is doing.
As a Canadian citizen I am extremely proud that they picked you and that you made this beautiful video! made me quite emotional. Well done! Hope you come back
Beautifully shot/edited Ben! Seriously looking forward to the next Visual Vibes! :)
Been watching you for just over a year now Ben and have never seen this somehow. This is probably the best video I have ever watched on youtube. The music is perfect and its fluency is perfection, extremely inspiring. Thank you.
I've watched this at least 100 times by now
YES BEN! I may have just cried a little. Maybe a lot.
Can I just say that you enrich our lives so much? Everyday. Always. You are just a part of our lives, isn't that crazy? Not a day goes by without a video of Mr Brownie... I'm in awe of your talent to making films. Thank you!
Its official, the Canada Visual Vibes is my new favorite!
Ben, I've got to thank you man. Ever since I saw your Canada vlogs, and especially this video afterwards, it has been my dream to visit Alberta. This summer, that dream came true. I went there with my dad, renting a camper van, driving the icefields parkway, from Jasper to Banff. It has been the most insane journey of my live. This video is probably one of my favorite (if not my most favorite) video's on youtube. Thanks again dude
Now September 2017 I find myself watching this again. Come from Vancouver I thank you Ben for not only showing off our home in such a magical way, but also giving us locals a reminder to get out and enjoy what nature has to offer.
This video makes my eyes cry and my heart smile.
one of the best videos on youtube
Agreed
JusticeObligationKindnessEmpathyRespect totally agree
sometimes I benge watch your visual vibes to keep myself motivated. it reminds me that I am so much closer to the world than it sometimes feels like I am when I'm stuck at university. Thank you for bringing these to me.
Ben , this video is absolutely stunning! This makes me so happy, being Canadian, that you captured Canada so beautifully for people from all over the world to see.
Ben, I just had to comment on this because I legitimately have tears in my eyes and I have no other reason for it but you beautiful film. I'm not even from Canada, I've never been there, I'm not hormonal from that time of month, nothing emotional is happening in my life but this made me tear up.. Ask anyone who knows me, that's genuinely very hard to do and I appreciate whatever it is that makes it happen to me. Truly your best work yet & I will continue to support you. Hard core brownie. 💕💗💕
