Maybe I’m Not Okay

- In honor of Mental Health Awareness Month, I wanted to share a short film that briefly covers the surface of a mental health battle I’ve struggled with.
The inspiration for this film comes from the daily interactions I believe we all have. Nearly every, “Hey, how are ya?” is met with a, “I’m doing fine. And you?” All the while, a fair amount of us are not doing fine.
For my own mental health, I largely ignored it for the vast majority of my life. It wasn’t an intentional decision, just more of something I picked up being around others. I saw other people smiling and waving, so I thought that was the thing to do. I never thought to ignore the emotions that were deeper, simply because not many people even acknowledged that deeper emotions existed.
I don’t think we are intentionally hiding from people or our emotions, we just might not be allowing ourselves the time to analyze them. Not everyone you run into needs to know your every thought, nor should every person be trusted with that intimate knowledge.
But I do think you owe it to yourself for you to know your own emotions. Awareness of where you are emotionally is definitely not some magic cure, but I think it’s the first step in the right direction.
Talk with your people, your family, your community. You are cared for. You are loved. ✌🏻
Also, if this message resonated with you, and you don’t have people to reach out to, I am available and willing to listen.
Big shoutout to my support system, which is far too large to name everyone. I truly don’t know where I would be without all of you.

A brief breakdown on how I approached filming myself 🙃 th-cam.com/video/wXwJa3Tj6Q0/w-d-xo.html
So inspiring, beautiful message and beautiful cinematography. Well done Jordan!
Thank you for watching and for the kind words! Really glad to hear the message reached you!
Inspiring. Many will resonate with this and need to hear this. Not to mention the quality is 🔥
Storytelling, visuals, and sound design are all on point! You're going places man
Man, thank you so much David! Glad you enjoyed it 🥲
This was very touching, I can 100% relate. Thank you for reminding me. Ps. Great video work. I was here just for the XH2S footage but got a lot more.
Super glad you watched! There's definitely waves of emotion we all go through, but I hope you're doing well.
This is just beautiful
Thank you so much for watching! 🥲
Loved this Jordan. Great storytelling and a message that resonates with me. We're all growing up with the idea that we always have to be doing well for ourselves. But we don't always feel okay, and that's fine. Great quality and look forward to see more of your work in the future!
Thank you for your comment Justin! I totally agree as well. There's definitely a temptation to keep up appearances, not just for others but for ourselves too. Glad this message reached you!
Beautiful shots man. Great job!
Thank you 🙌
really enjoying the work you put out my friend. Many things to learn from the way you tell your stories. Excellent.
Thank you for watching man! I have a lot to share as well haha. We all have important stories to share, would love to be a part of making that happen for others!
A message we all need 🔥
Not the message we deserved, but the message we needed 🦇
Love it man. Such a beautiful message, and execution!
Thank you for watching man! Glad you enjoyed it! 😎
I'm so glad the algorithm recommended your videos to me, sensational work!!
Ahh I’m glad the algorithm worked it’s magic and connected us! Thank you so much for watching and for your kind comment 🥲
amazing
Thank you! Glad this message reached you, and I hope it helped!
This is so beautiful
Thank you for watching Henry! 🙏
Dude this is amazing ❤
Thank you for watching and for your comment! 🙌
dude... so good
Thank you for watching man!
This is so beautiful!!
Thank you my friend! Always love hearing your feedback
Woow incredible, thank you🙏🏾
And thank you for watching!!
Phenomenal piece!
Thank you much for watching! Glad this video reached you
This is so beautiful man and a needed message, every frame is on point. Genuinely gave me chills, so inspiring, great job!
Thanks for watching brother! I love how we have a similar approach to filmmaking 😂
@@jordanadudek For real! That’s such a compliment tho man, I love your style of film - that’s goals for me. There’s some videos or filmmakers that just make me wanna get up and create some content and your vids consistently do that for me - can’t wait for more brother!
@@ianthrash Your stuff inspires me man. It's really easy for me to get caught up in the image, specs, and all the details of filmmaking. But it really comes down to the story and the ability to tell it. You definitely have that ability man. Looking forward to seeing what you keep creating!
@@jordanadudek Appreciate it man! I feel you - I can be very perfectionistic when it comes to film, but at the end of the day, storytelling and depth of the message is what matters most. can’t wait for the breakdown man!
This is really good, I love the message 🔥🔥
Thank you for watching!! Glad the message resonated with you
Such a beautiful look
Thank you! Dehancer can work some wonders!
Inspiring brother. It is okay to not be okay we as humans are perfectly imperfect.
Thanks for watching man! Definitely agree with you. I fail daily 😆
Um this was stunning
Thank you for watching man, and really appreciate the comment!
Really really lovely images and story. Reminds me of something a friend says to me. When you ask someone 'how are you' and they're like 'yeah i'm fine', he always follows up with, 'and how are you really?' - funny how much a simple thing like that can hit home. Excited to have found your channel so early on in its days!
Thank you for watching! I’m glad you have a similar experience with this topic. It’s true that it’s easy to not tell others how we are really doing, not because we are intentionally hiding anything, but because opening up is not something we normally do. Glad you watched!!
Excited to see what's next!
We’re shooting a running commercial right now. Hoping to have some BTS 🙃
beautifully shot man, well done :)
Thank you for watching brother! Hope the message resonated with you
Amazing video! Keep up the great work!
Thank you 🥲
This is a vital topic. Thank you for creating this beautiful piece 👏
Thank you for watching! I agree about how important this topic is. I actually just had some pretty tragic life events recently, and being honest about the situation has been the most important part for me.
@@jordanadudek Awareness is key. This too shall pass. Keep up the inspiring work!
Thank you for the encouragement Adam. I know good will come from our pain
@@jordanadudek Of course Jordan. I agree, difficult times help build resilience.
beautiful my friend.
Thank you so much Lucas! Glad you watched it!
beautiful mate! its okay to not be okay. amazing work but first and foremost make sure you take care!!☺✌✌
Thank you again man. You take care as well! 💪🏻
Amazing work!
Thank you for watching! 🙌🏻
the color and lighting is really great
Thanks for sharing it
Thank you for watching! Dehancer can really do some magic in post
@@jordanadudek Nice info. Thanks for sharing. But still those magics need an artist's hand to be waved ;))
@@nguyenbui90 hahah well I can’t dodge that one 😂. I did just film a short tutorial on how to film shots like this. I do believe it’s really quite simple!
@@jordanadudek I just finished watching it! :D looking forward to a video in davinci. The xh2 fuji color is really amazing btw
So good bro!
Thank you man!
Inspiring. M not into video, but this made me all fired up to create a cinematic video like this. ❤🔥
You absolutely can make something like this! I'm glad this inspired you!!
This is good
Thank you!
Amazing vid
Thank you for watching 🙏🏻
Thank you for this! An important aspect that is critical to discuss and be shared by content creators. Mental health is also the realization that we need to incorporate it into out journey and no leave it on the side of the road only to get back to it in moments of crisis and trauma. Lets make it a part of our daily well being! Again thank you. I'll post our little video re mental health here too (release on Wednesday)
Thank you for this reminder! You're absolutely right about the constant "waves" of emotion that hit. That's why I find it's very important to have a community surrounding each of us!
@@jordanadudek th-cam.com/video/W_99UirrBLU/w-d-xo.html
Hey man ! Great work, breakdown and beautoful images ! Thanks for sharing thoses tips.
Would you consider making a video on your nikkor lenses ? I find it quite hard to find videos about theses lenses as a kit !
Thank you for watching! Ya, I didn't find much at all about these lenses either. I might have to set up a test of sorts to show what they are capable of. I'm still not sure if I will personally be keeping my set. Is there anything in particular you're looking for?
This looks stunning😍 I recently just also made a short with the xh2s in 6k. I gotta know your glass setup! Looking for some more glass options to push this cam with. I also use dehancer! Really beautiful message and really beautiful shots. Looking forward to the breakdown
Thank you Jasmine! I will go check out your short now! I've found that vintage glass on the Fuji sensor does really well to take the edge off the "sharpness". I've been using older Nikon glass as well as a Tokina 28-70. I should be having a brief breakdown uploaded next week, as well as a more in depth coming too! Thank you again for watching and sharing your thoughts!
Lenses? Filters? Lights? This is such a powerful film for MHAM! Bless you!
Thank you for watching and for your kind words! I will be breaking this down in a video for next week, but it was all shot on vintage glass on various shots with no filters! Lights were pretty minimal on this one too and were only for control purposes. Mainly a Nanlite 720b and the older 30c tubes
Sunset and sunrise are your friend, Jordan is curshed eveyr uploads here props man!
@@redaizo You're absolutely right! Filming during the right time of day is critical, at least in my work. And thank you for the kind works 🥲
Would be so useful to know which lenses you used 🙏
@@leyabou I mainly used older Nikon lenses, like the Nikkor-S 55mm 1.2, Nikkor-H 85mm 1.8, and Nikkor-o 35mm 2.0
Just subscribed. Absolutely brilliant work. Cheers.
Thank you for being here man! You have some absolutely stunning footage on your channel! Just subbed 💪🏻
@@jordanadudek I appreciate you, truly! Excited to see your work moving forward!
AMAZING color grading!
Thank you so much for watching! And glad you enjoyed the grade
Awesome detail at 00:14 btw - those walking squirrels!
The squirrels were also my favorite part hahah. Glad someone finally noticed!!
0:13 are the squirrels paid actors?? Beautiful piece.
Hahaha I’m glad you noticed! It took me a few watches to notice honestly. It’s now my favorite part of the whole film 😂
Beautiful ! Wisg lenses did you use ? Light ? Stabilisator ? tanks
beautiful images! Phantom for Slog 3 works on FLOG2 ?
Thank you for your kind words! I have a friendship with Joel, who creates the Phantom luts, and he gave me an early copy for the FLOG2 lut!
Keep going!
Thank you for watching man!!
@@jordanadudek Thanks for commenting back!
Crazy how much u can do just with static shots
Shots on a tripod have become my favorite recently. Thank you for watching!!
Great work..! I just want to ask this. Do you have a chance to publish a short tutorial video about the light scheme and coloring you have installed in the bathroom? :)
Thank you for the comment! Maybe this should be a breakdown video soon. I mainly used a tube-light directly at my side to give a harshness and subtle fall off towards my nose. I had an inspiration shot I'll need to dig up
This is so inspiring and I love the message. Do you have any advice for achieving such beautiful cinematography?
Thank you for your kind comment!! I will give a bit more advice in the coming breakdown video, but it all comes from finding inspiration from other art. Nearly every shot in this piece had a shot from another film as an inspiration.
thanks .. you just influenced me to get this camera ..
That's awesome! It's an insanely good camera. The image alone is significantly better than almost every full-frame mirrorless camera
Great video, How did you manage to do this slow zoom in 0:16 ?
Hey man! I just do it in post, with a slow crop in.
What mic did you use of the voice over?
great work . the lenses did you used ??
Thank you for watching! I used some vintage glass, a mixture of a Tokina 28-70, and Nikkor 24mm, 35mm, 55mm, and 85mm
Amazing fucking work. No meanignless shot, everything was a treat to my eyes. Really shows that the xh2s, in the right hands is capable of more than just being a flashy 'hybrid cam'.
I just had one question my friend, are what type of memory card are you using?
Thank you for watching and for the kind words 😅. The Fuji really is a wonderful camera with a beautiful image.
I'm currently using Lexar sd's! www.amazon.com/Lexar-Professional-1667x-UHS-II-LSD256CBNA1667/dp/B07NLYT72D/ref=sr_1_4?crid=2CAUB6SOX7G5I&keywords=lexar+v90&qid=1684157546&s=electronics&sprefix=lexar+v90%2Celectronics%2C104&sr=1-4&ufe=app_do%3Aamzn1.fos.006c50ae-5d4c-4777-9bc0-4513d670b6bc
@@jordanadudek Thanks Jordan. I was also wondering, when you press record does the display slightly change. Whenever I press record, the image slightly changes in terms of the colour. Wondering if this as a serious issue or if other xh2s users are experiencing this.
What aspect ratio is this?
This was shot in Open Gate, which is a 6k mode in a 3:2 aspect ratio. Hope that helps!
did you use a diffusion filter ?
No diffusion filter on this! Just used older Nikkor glass and added some halation and bloom in post!
You’re insane
Haha. The good kind, right? 🥲
@@jordanadudek lol!! Yes!
