    Fantastic demonstration of the T5i. Definitely a well executed showcase of the camera's abilities in the hands of a competent cinematographer.

    Nothing happens for coincidence. I came across this little gem on a crucial moment of my life. I've been out of the media industry since two heart attacks got me retired 15 years ago when I was at my best. I lost everything, including wife and 4 children. This has just inspire me to start filming again. I'll be 50 years old on December. I just suscribed to your channel and want to congratulate you for being such a gifted filmmaker. Keep on being like that.

      As you say, nothing happens by chance. It sounds as though you have something precious to offer the world and your experiences have created something very special which your films are going to bring to people. Remember, your films may well arrive at that crucial moment for other people. Good luck, god bless, and I am looking forward to seeing the magic you produce.

    Damn, mike. This was some of your best work yet. You nailed every aspect of filmmaking here. Also, I am lead to believe you are lying when you claim this filmed with T5i, you made this piece look like it was filmed in 4k. Good job bud :)

    I don't know you personally, but as a fellow aspiring young director I've kept my subscription since Zombie Butter. I really like the way you've turned out to be a great filmmaker. I think your future is bright and I really dig the way you put this one together. Easily your best work. Your acting is actually very good as well. Good job, Mike. Keep it up! Your success really inspires me to keep in the film making business myself.
    P.S. I love the Mustang, you should use it as your trademark.

    I am really happy, I found this video. I was looking for well made videos with pricy cameras, but most of then were the same boreing cameramovement with the same teal and orange lut...
    I think you either were alone at a few shots or you didn't have a lot of equipment, but still you managed to use a lot of tripod shots without them looking cheap!!
    I'm just really impressed!

    Wow man, I was researching the T5i to see if I should check it out for my next project instead of using my own (Lumix G7) and I came across your film. This was so well done. The story, acting, shot variety, the framing and composition. All so well done. I will definitely be checking out the rest of your channel. Best of luck to you in the future.
