Thanks to everyone who has watched The Racer. It is incredible to see how many people are inspired, this is why we made it. See the BTS below! th-cam.com/video/6BoULExF9z4/w-d-xo.html
@@s.d.6822 Or maybe he's just man who dared to dream and be mortal. You can't do it alone and certaingly not with people who cannot let you be just a man.
I've been suffering from a severe depression for 8 years now, which resulted in not being able to feel any emotions at all for such an extended period of time. This short film however made me cry, and I am incredibly grateful for that. An absolute masterpiece.
Thats great! I don't know why it took over 2 years for youtube to show me this video but i got goosebumps since the campfire scene. This whole movie is incredible!
Always believe in yourself that your life is worth living for, just like the rest of us... Always find the best in you and carry that best forward. Hope you will have happiness and life fulfilment. Trust me, I was in your situation once... You are not alone,
This should be officially promoted by Porsche. This gives me chills as I can in some part relate to that situation. Unbelievably good work ! Bringing through all the emotions without a single word .. wow ! Thank you for this ! I hope I'll see a lot more coming from you !
Three of my biggest passions in 2 minutes and 45 seconds: motorsports, cinematography and music. I will never forget my tears (I'm not exaggerating) the first time I watched this: January 30th 2020, 12:44 UTC. Thank you, I sincerely thank you... To everyone responsible for this experience...
From a filmmaker looking to get into more race car filming this is the exact inspiration I needed. This was incredible, so well shot, such an overall amazing production for a short film.
@@slowdailys7914 The camera don't make this filmic effect. The lens that is on the camera making this look of picture. So, they definitely used anamorphic lens for this film. It has more distortion and noticeable lens flares than regular lenses.
@@erdUha Never said it did, I said that due to the Quality of the Video. You can always have a good Lense kit, but if the camera is no good. What good does that do?
Kinda of my story. Lived on a corner on a cul de sac and the neighbor had a brand new 911T Targa. I would be watering my parents' lawn and the car would be making the turn and the engine would be downshifting. The most awesome sound I ever heard. That was 1968 and I was 11. Up to that time, my dream car was the Mustang Boss 302. Two years later, the movie Le Mans comes out. I remember getting a paper model of the 917 from the local Gulf gas station. I was hooked. As soon as I was 18, I marched myself into my local Porsche dealer and bought me a brand new 914 in 1975 (had gone to a technical high school and was working at Hughes Aircraft as an electronic technician since I was 17). The memories of me in the car when I first got the keys is etched in my memory like it was yesterday. I joined the local Porsche Owners Club (still in existence to this day) and would race the car at Riverside International Raceway and Ontario Motor Speedway. Otis Chandler, the publisher and owner of the Los Angeles Times, had bought a Steve McQueen 917 and would bring it to the track. Those were the glory days. In some ways, when I got the 914, it was more impressive than when I finally got my 911 (997) even though when you hit the throttle of the 997, that engine sound is awesome, different from the 1968 911, but still awesome. At Riverside, I had no fears and topped out the car at 135mph. With the 997, its top speed is 177mph, but could not go any faster than 145mph because the fear of crashing kept me from going faster, even though the car was 100 times more stable than the 914.
It's the first time I cried watching a film. As a racer myself this shows some light on the true dedication & passion we put ourselves through for a 'sport'. This film represented that in such a perfect way, truly motivating even if it's heartbreaking to watch. To all riders out there, never quit. & well done to you guys who made such a fantastic film!
I cried. I felt this. This is why we drive. It became my therapy, because when I felt like ending my life, racing/driving was the only thing that made me feel alive.
I’m glad other people feel this way. I always felt cringe for feeling like this LMAOO but I’m glad there are others who get it. The feeling is truly ethereal and otherworldly.
@@realmz.4575It truly is. I've been wondering if it can be rationally explained why some of us love driving, cars and transportation in general so much. My parents didn't even own a car until I got my license and I wasn't too interested in cars before turning ~16. I'm now 22 and I dream of devoting my entire life to cars, motorbikes and racing.
This is a sensational and inspirational production. You deserve an award for this. Chasing your dreams pays off and you should never give up. I wasn't lucky enough to grow up in an environment that would allow me to chase my motorsport dreams. Fast forward 20 years, I worked hard enough in life to be able to do motorsports as my weekend hobby. The very same car (a street-legal version of it) in your production is now in my garage and I couldn't be happier.
thats my dream man, im 15 and living in texas. I'm lacking the time and money in order to pursue a career like this. so, right now I'm trying to find the best path for me where I can have my own car collection that i can do whatever I want with and lot of money at my disposal. respect to you bro. keep doing you
@@malekbekka9597 , you will figure it out! Little advice - I grew up in not so privileged part of eastern Europe. Always dreamed of racing go-karts but did not even have access to them. I would play Need for Speed on PC, watch rallies, and formula 1 on tv instead. When I was 13 I made a pledge to one of my best friends; I told him that one day I will move to a better country, get a Porsche and race them on closed courses. I told him that I have no idea how I am going to do that, and how long it will take... but I will figure it out, and ... so will you! Dream big and don't give up.
I hope like you to own a GT3! I also came from a very disprivileged background. Hoping to making that GT3 mine soon (think maybe 2-3 years) and take part in more motorsport weekends. Thanks for sharing your story.
You summed up my dream in 2m45s. But I nevermade it, poor family with no support. However after 40years of determination, self believe I have managed to purchase a new 992GT3. The kid racer lives within. To old for factory Porsche RSR now, but I shall still have fun at The Bend. Thank You so much
I absolutely love this. Gives me chills watching this. I can somewhat relate to this. When I was a small boy I watched my first f1 race on the tv, I am now studying at school very close to f1 and other motorsport teams and now I have an opportunity that I never thought I would have in front of me working with a race team. It all started when I watched f1 with my dad in 2011
@@alexanderodonnell988 haha, I thought you were referring to anther post. There is a terrific movie called The Art of Racing In The Rain, Milo Vetimiglia stars in it. Real life Pro race driver, and actor, Patrick Dempsey produced and was a consultant in the movie. Hope that makes sense now.
My skin crawled with anxiety and tears began to well up in my eyes feeling the pain and struggle of this story. Whoever you are, we have common blood in our veins, filled with the drive to do our best. Thank you for your sharing your heart.
1:55 I don't know who needs this, but I had this come to mind right around this point in the video "Everyone has bad days. The important part is how you get back up, push forward, and make it happen."
I’m not sure if you’ll read this, but this was really moving. I’m genuinely surprised it isn’t a Porsche ad, because it should be, this is top notch stuff here. My thanks for out to you for portraying the passion of the car hobby, and of motor sports, what you’ve created is a beautiful thing, and personally I think that in how it’s executed, is just how it should be. Thanks again, from me, and I’m sure from countless others who’ve watched this and understood the struggle and passion, it’s masterpieces like yours that remind us of the beauty in purpose and passion
I come back to watch this every few months. God it's beautiful. How come Hollywood can't tell stories like this in 2 hrs 45 mins, when these guys only needed 2 mins 45 seconds.
This video touches my inner space. I lost my girlfriend because of my car. Passion to driving and racing was stronger than love. That hurts... However I am in the place where I wanted to be just like last scene.
I think of it like this…my Porshe will never leave me or find a new lover…and we can fly!!!! 🚀🏎🔥🔥🔥 In my experience, you can find someone who hates your racing or who embraces your dreams because they have that same fire and passion and they totally,100% GET IT. I know which man id want. Sometimes we sacrifice our dreams for love and wake up an empty shell of ourselves, miserable and with our fire put out. I think about love. Does someone that is fine having that happen to you in love? I don’t think so. I know it’s sad and your heart may be broken. I know mine still is because I loved him with everything I had. At the same time, I’m at the track flying with my heart on fire and he’s already with someone else…didn’t love me so much after all. You give in and give all of it up and they still won’t be happy. Find your own happiness and then find someone that wants nothing but to see you on fire and living the dream (and do the same for her!). Let your lover be free to really live and you’ll find a love like nothing you’ve ever imagined possible. I’m not saying it’s not on 4 wheels like mine tho 😂🏎🔥🔥🔥 I’m sorry for your loss I hope in time you’ll find yourself in a place of peace and you’ll be happy in your car still 😉
Anyone who has a chance to drive a competitive Kart should take advantage of it. The amount of power the 2 stroke motors produce is mind boggling the first time.
As photographer/filmmaker I can feel the emotion radiating from the video just the composition the story behind the one guy in a Porsche who lost it all just too make a come back in one of the worlds godly cars.
Just seeing this today. Quite possibly the best short I've ever seen. The story telling is so subtle, clear, deep and well written. The brilliance in this is that I do not believe this to be a motor film at all. It is a film that expresses what we go through in life; the ups & downs, the sorrow of defeat, the agony of hardships, the struggle & perseverance to see something through, pure elation of victory - not of a race; but of a life full of passion. For a brief moment before the start of the race the protagonist was already the biggest winner. Cheers!
I played Gran Turismo as a kid. Was taken to an endurance race at the nordschleife by a friend who's parents were a little into motorsports. The sound, the roaring engines. I swore to be on the other side of the fence one day. As Driver. And here I am.. having a licence, being my own sponsor after so many years. Racing at the 24h of Nürburgring next year if all races towards it work out this season. I never raced karts or formel. I just had passion and too many hours with my logitech steering wheel. Last race we even made it to the podium.. and this movie made me shed a tear because it has so mich emotion to reach this goal. Well done.. and somewhat true. P.S.: all the comments about the money Motorsports needs to work. Yup, thats true. Its a pitty this isnt more affordable. 😅
Motorsport evokes emotion not everyone is capable of feeling. This video makes it just a bit easier for people to understand why a machine can move our heart in ways that cannot be expressed in words. Thank you for this!
Great movie and thank you. Ironically, I met my now wife and mum of our 2 great kids the very day I picked up my 964. She said the attraction had absolutely nothing to do with the car... and I really believe her... ;-)
The quality of SFX and the amount of efforts in matching music with visual mood is that small, non obvious thing, that makes this incredible filing of being in the place of main character and feeling everything with your own heart.... Best film I saw in last few years for sure. Great job!
Porsche should be eternally grateful to this young man for the incredible restoration and transformation work he did to that old barn find it all started with.
It’s absolutely amazing how a video can make you cry several times. I am going through a thought phase right now. I put everything I have in motorsports. This videos shows just why I do it! Always keep going no matter what happens. Thank you for this video! It motivates me and keeps me going.
This was amazing! I loved every second of it! You were able to achieve so much in a such short run time, and it's a true testament to your skills as a story teller.
when I was incredibly young. many years before I could drive. I remember seeing a horrific racing accident on TV and the first thing I thought even at that young age was. "That man had no respect for that machine". A car is a machine a cold emotionless machine. It is important to remember that and to remember that its power is to be respected. I never forgot that and my love for racing just kept growing.
Always wanted to track my car but never really had the means or time. Finally got a chance to start last year. This short film just encouraged me to keep the kid inside me alive. Thank you and well done!
This has to be one of the best videos on the internet.. Awesome camera work, post processing, script, music, actors, vehicles.. I can say I never felt so many emotions just by watching a youtube video. Great job!
Wow this was an eye opener, the way the video makes it feel like your dreams are literally close enough to reach out and grab. It just reels you into a passionate timelapse combining emotion, memory, and imagination. Top quality work on this video!
Porsche is one of the few companies that inspire us from a young age and create lifelong customers and enthusiasts. The concept of falling in love at a young age, especially with a 911, is so true. This short film is a beautiful reminder of what makes Porsche so special. Got me a little choked up...
I've got goosebumps! This movie is so well done, that you even must not love racing to love this film. At the End I was missing a much powerful engine sound. Thanks A lot!
i have to say this clip made me believe in myself in iracing... made me look at my progression in simracing, all my mistakes, my stupid actions, all cars i drove after all this time... there's something important here to declair: if u have a passion, something that makes you who you are, just don't leave it for somethin vain...
Omg that one.. This should be officially promoted by Porsche. This gives me chills as I can in some part relate to that situation. Unbelievably good work ! Bringing through all the emotions without a single word .. wow ! Thank you for this ! I hope I'll see a lot more coming from you !
Was this not an official Porsche film?! Holy cow! Is this a passion project? Absolutely stunning. You deserve millions of views and subscribers for something like this haha. Especially for that bts!
this is amazing but 0:17 mby next time try use rain drops to make a little shadow on face ? mby too much art i dont know if its gonna work (mby with hard light you destroy that nice light spill i dunno) :D its just idea nice shots
Boy would it be seriously cool if talent and passion was all it took. Then I'd be a pro GT3 race driver by now. But unfortunately that not all. You also need money. Literal tons of money.

Well, what a coincidence! A Porsche got in my grandfather's eye too. Thankfully, he's not crying anymore
the fact his girlfriend left him for his "obsession", but him succeeding, is so incredibly deep and true to life
i think the filmmakers themselves relate to this as well. filmmaking is long exhausting work that tends to seperate the artist from their close ones.
don't worry, he'll find a better one that supports him
Alternatively, he's a man who allowed a woman to fall in love with him when he never had any intention of being there for her. Indeed true to life.

The 9-5 grind and family life can be a soul crushing experience in this modern world - go chase your dreams.
I think of it like this…my Porshe will never leave me or find a new lover…and we can fly!!!! 🚀🏎🔥🔥🔥 In my experience, you can find someone who hates your racing or who embraces your dreams because they have that same fire and passion and they totally,100% GET IT. I know which man id want.
Sometimes we sacrifice our dreams for love and wake up an empty shell of ourselves, miserable and with our fire put out. I think about love. Does someone that is fine having that happen to you in love?
I don’t think so.
I know it’s sad and your heart may be broken. I know mine still is because I loved him with everything I had. At the same time, I’m at the track flying with my heart on fire and he’s already with someone else…didn’t love me so much after all. You give in and give all of it up and they still won’t be happy. Find your own happiness and then find someone that wants nothing but to see you on fire and living the dream (and do the same for her!). Let your lover be free to really live and you’ll find a love like nothing you’ve ever imagined possible. I’m not saying it’s not on 4 wheels like mine tho 😂🏎🔥🔥🔥
I’m sorry for your loss I hope in time you’ll find yourself in a place of peace and you’ll be happy in your car still 😉

I played Gran Turismo as a kid. Was taken to an endurance race at the nordschleife by a friend who's parents were a little into motorsports. The sound, the roaring engines. I swore to be on the other side of the fence one day. As Driver.
And here I am.. having a licence, being my own sponsor after so many years. Racing at the 24h of Nürburgring next year if all races towards it work out this season.
I never raced karts or formel. I just had passion and too many hours with my logitech steering wheel. Last race we even made it to the podium.. and this movie made me shed a tear because it has so mich emotion to reach this goal.
Well done.. and somewhat true.
P.S.: all the comments about the money Motorsports needs to work.
Yup, thats true. Its a pitty this isnt more affordable. 😅
How can one not be romantic about motor sport , great work @DEFY Productions
Thank you 🙏
Motorsport evokes emotion not everyone is capable of feeling. This video makes it just a bit easier for people to understand why a machine can move our heart in ways that cannot be expressed in words. Thank you for this!
Agreed! Thank you!
Not even a single word
and still get all the emotions!!!
this is a masterpiece..
Great movie and thank you. Ironically, I met my now wife and mum of our 2 great kids the very day I picked up my 964. She said the attraction had absolutely nothing to do with the car... and I really believe her... ;-)
Always admirable Porsche, their build quality, performance and beautiful cars, make them special. Its true Porsche is an obsession ❤🧡💛💚💙💜🤎💯💥
How have I only just found this video!! Amazing
This felt like a knife through my chest.
It's the live I've been dreaming for more than a decade and never managed to turn into reality.
@Sawyer Mickelson
You're right ! 👍
I always say that we can only be sure we failed completely on something if we stop trying.
The quality of SFX and the amount of efforts in matching music with visual mood is that small, non obvious thing, that makes this incredible filing of being in the place of main character and feeling everything with your own heart.... Best film I saw in last few years for sure. Great job!
Only one thing taught us from this entertainment, that "One Day Will Come Soon"
Porsche should be eternally grateful to this young man for the incredible restoration and transformation work he did to that old barn find it all started with.
Driving a race car feels like screaming out at the world in a language only a few understand and feel. Excellent short film 👏
Exactly! Thank you for watching 😊
I thought this was a ad from Porsche until I saw the comments damn. An absolute masterpiece
Thanks so much, I appreciate it!
I came to see this again. This is really art. I'm getting goosebumps.
Thanks for watching and we are glad you enjoyed it!
It’s absolutely amazing how a video can make you cry several times.
I am going through a thought phase right now. I put everything I have in motorsports.
This videos shows just why I do it! Always keep going no matter what happens.
Thank you for this video! It motivates me and keeps me going.
Pursue your dream man! I have this dream too but... I don't have any opportunities right now, so if there's any hope for you, I hope you get it. 🔥
When I was a kid, these are my dreams too~~
RIGHT NOW STILL ITS' MY DREAMS~~
this has got to be one of the best short films ive ever come across, hope porsche sees this.
Thank you very much, I’m glad you enjoyed it
This was amazing! I loved every second of it! You were able to achieve so much in a such short run time, and it's a true testament to your skills as a story teller.
Thanks James! I appreciate it and glad you like it!
The go kart shot at 1:00 is incredibly beautiful
Thanks!
This kid looks like max verstappen .
So true
😢 that was truly beautiful and I'm going to watch it again 😢.
Thanks for watching! Glad you are enjoying it
@@DEFYstudio Keep them coming
when I was incredibly young. many years before I could drive. I remember seeing a horrific racing accident on TV and the first thing I thought even at that young age was. "That man had no respect for that machine". A car is a machine a cold emotionless machine. It is important to remember that and to remember that its power is to be respected. I never forgot that and my love for racing just kept growing.
This is a masterpiece! the script, cinematography, sound design, music and color grade all this combination and the result is amazing congratulations!
Thank you so much 😊
Always wanted to track my car but never really had the means or time. Finally got a chance to start last year. This short film just encouraged me to keep the kid inside me alive. Thank you and well done!
Happy to hear this! Thanks so much
That's why some people say life is a ride
This anamorphic lens feeling fits perfectly this film!
Glad you noticed we shot on anamorphic!
this makes me think "motorsport it's more than watching cars" and damn it's true
This has to be one of the best videos on the internet.. Awesome camera work, post processing, script, music, actors, vehicles.. I can say I never felt so many emotions just by watching a youtube video. Great job!
Thank you, I appreciate the kind words!
This is excellent! Porsche automobiles, good music, and very well done cinematography.
Thanks a lot!
This was f'ing amazing. Great story telling through visuals and no script. Maybe one of the best Porsche videos I've seen. Thanks for sharing.
I'm five years late to the party, but wow, this is still a masterpiece even in 2024. Great work, and thank you for sharing it with us!
I watch this at least once a month and it gets better each time
Thanks for watching, I’m glad you enjoying it 🎥
If this is official, it's the greatest car commercial ever made. If it's not, Porsche needs to hire this man.
Much appreciated! Glad you enjoyed the film 🎥
Nah man nah, this has to be the best Porsche commercial ever... And now I'm watching this on repeat.... You guys are literally Top tier!! ❤️
Thank you very much!
Wow this was an eye opener, the way the video makes it feel like your dreams are literally close enough to reach out and grab. It just reels you into a passionate timelapse combining emotion, memory, and imagination. Top quality work on this video!
Thank you for the kind words 😊 glad you enjoyed it!
Porsche is one of the few companies that inspire us from a young age and create lifelong customers and enthusiasts. The concept of falling in love at a young age, especially with a 911, is so true. This short film is a beautiful reminder of what makes Porsche so special. Got me a little choked up...
We feel the same way! Thanks for watching
Literally everything in this video is perfect. I was even surprised at how much the kid and the grown man look alike
Man that sure got my heart racing. So much feels, love this !!
I've got goosebumps! This movie is so well done, that you even must not love racing to love this film. At the End I was missing a much powerful engine sound. Thanks A lot!
i love how the soundeffects are prioritised over the music, it really gives it the feeling of immersion into the story! Great job!
Absolutely, glad you picked this up and that you enjoyed it!
i have to say this clip made me believe in myself in iracing... made me look at my progression in simracing, all my mistakes, my stupid actions, all cars i drove after all this time... there's something important here to declair: if u have a passion, something that makes you who you are, just don't leave it for somethin vain...
I really liked the most creative commercial, having a Porsche is a desire of every man
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed the film
2:03 Christopher Nolan and Hans Zimmer entered the garage... All jokes aside, nice job!
Truly an underrated masterpiece ❤
Thank you, much appreciated
moral of the story: all you need in life is a porsche
This is not an ad but an emotion..
Thank you 🙏
Despite all the struggle and hardships life throws your way,
Follow your passion!
Absolutely 🏁❤️
We all need to thank the camera man for this video, he grew up
Masterpiece
Thank you 🙏
the porsche in thumbnail is the one i just build in lego technic
Awesome!
Porsche is a unique emotion in the world of Super Cars ❤️
Still in love with this absolutely epic short!
Thanks for watching 🎥
Wow! "Here's 2:45 short film" ok. i think to myself... just wow ! with minimal dialogue too ... the last 25 views were on me ... such a fantastic job!
Thanks so much! Awesome!
Omg that one..
This should be officially promoted by Porsche. This gives me chills as I can in some part relate to that situation. Unbelievably good work ! Bringing through all the emotions without a single word .. wow ! Thank you for this ! I hope I'll see a lot more coming from you !
Thanks so much, glad you enjoyed it and definitely more coming soon 😊
Was this not an official Porsche film?! Holy cow! Is this a passion project? Absolutely stunning.
You deserve millions of views and subscribers for something like this haha. Especially for that bts!
Others would think its just a car movie but as a car enthusiast,
This movie have very deep meanings to me😮
Thanks for watching 🎥
Man this was amazing, I got goosebumps ❤️
Keep up the good work ❤️

It is more then just a car

Je ne suis pas en fan de porche, mais cette vidéo a réussi à me donner le frisson. Bravo.
This is Art....A pure art of How to Put on The Table. I loved it.
Thank you 🙏 glad you enjoyed it
Boy would it be seriously cool if talent and passion was all it took. Then I'd be a pro GT3 race driver by now. But unfortunately that not all. You also need money. Literal tons of money.
shut up ass up. stop flexing. let people enjoy this goddamn cinematic masterpiece
