Daan, first of all, sorry I'm SO late to watch this! Was without internet for a few weeks... second of all... wow! You perfectly captured what I've been going thru the past 2 years! Visually & verbally, I saw in THIS video my recent life... from dark to light & creating IS part of the healing! Thank you both! Blessings in 2024!!!
This is incredible!! I have to say I am so tired of the classic ChatGPT script that is full of soulless empty words! So BORING! This is the opposite of that - seemingly simple but with incredible story with a deep meaning and fantastic storytelling! Short and sweet! It’s exactly the kind of video I’d like to make! Well done 🎉 And please make more of those! 😊❤
I don’t know how many times I have watched this, but it brings me to tears 0:46 : emotional tears, tears of joy, tears of loss, tears of reason… tears that shake me to remember I am human, that I am fallible and tears that remind me to love my family and my life.
Daan, You have a big creative containers build in as well! So, thank You for this cooperation! It's a pleasure and honor to feel myself as a part of underwater dimension.
Amazing video, this gave me goosebumps! As a freediver i can relate those feelings! We like exploring the depths of the ocean because by doing that we simply explore inside ourselves, facing our deepest and meaningful fears turning them into passions!
It’s so breathtaking. Somehow like a window into my mind. I love that perspective of facing the darkness and turning to find the light behind you. The encouragement is beautiful, and the message is deep. Wonderful story, filmography, editing, narration. Well done, touching hearts everywhere. ♥️
I can related to every second of this video. Creating saved my life. Thanks for taking me on a trip down memory lane, and for inspiring me to continue applying perspective to my daily life. Incredible work, guys! ❤
Thank you Daan and Sofi for this gem. really needed to watch it again today- beautiful and just what was needed. Biggest hugs and gratitude to you for everything that you do and are.
This is absolutely mind blowing! You have great talent Daan! Keep inspiring people! I officially became a junior freediver a year ago and those dives absolutely changed my life. The calmness, deep focus and connection with life and the surroundings…only freedivers will truly understand my words. Keep up the good work Daan. You have my full support!🙌🏽
Diosssss ! Acabo de flipar con el vídeo…. No se si será por el momento vivencial en el q estoy! Por q enamoré de la Apnea. Pero seguro q la forma de crear y de editar y de contar la historia 🙈😁👏🙌🏾👌🌊😍🌊se merece un Gracias por compartirlo con el mundo 🌎👏🙌🏾🙈🙏😍🎥📽️🐨
😃 My fast Italian translation of your poem Daan: Non è che noi decidiamo di voltare le spalle alla luce, È solo che certe volte attraversiamo un momento difficile, un periodo buio. E lo devi affrontare. Ma poi ti ricordi che quello che vedi dipende anche da che lato lo guardi: se tutto quello che vendi è nero, forse la luce è dietro di te. Quindi giri le cose, cerchi di trovare una prospettiva diversa per la stessa situazione. Quando i tuoi occhi si sono abituati al buio, la luce può essere così troppo chiara da non farti vedere quasi niente. Ma continui a provare, e cominci a vedere il rovescio dell'oscurità. Il dolore che hai provato ti mostra anche che cosa sei capace di gestire. Ma guardare al lato luminoso non è abbastanza: devi anche FARE qualcosa da quella nuova prospettiva. Importa poco che cosa sia, purché tu riesca a mettere te stesso in qualcosa di esterno, qualcosa che ti fa guardare in alto, qualcosa cui aspirare. Qualcosa che ti sembri fattibile, ma che richieda un po' per venire realizzato. Può anche sembrare come una torta nel cielo, ma sarai sorpreso da come piccoli passi si sommano: quello cui prima guardavi in alto, come la cima di una montagna, alla fine si mostra come raggiungibile, al tuo livello. E poi scoprirai che quello che hai creato, in cambio sta aiutando a creare te. Le percezioni avranno colorato la realtà, e la realtà avrà dipinto i dettagli del pianeta. Non è stato solo il cambio di prospettiva a causare questo, ma anche l'atto in sé di creare: creare la Luce, dove tutto quello che potevi vedere era Oscurità. Thank you 🤗 Agata De Meo

Literally goosebumps!

That's very kind of you to say!
I cant stop...... I cant stop loving the videos of this channel,,, I cant stop afraid of diving.... And I can stop watching these videos multiple times and sharing wtih friends... I just cant stop !!
Don't stop! Ok, maybe stop being afraid of diving a little, enough to take a course and explore it a bit
@@DaanVerhoeven what will diving do with me? how will it change me Daan?

Exceptional ! Stunning videography great narration.
Glad to hear you like it - it was a tricky edit but I’m very happy with how it came out
Well done guys!!! Love it so much!!!! 🤸🧜♀️💙💙 from Suzy the Kiwi freediver who took a break from freediving to create kids (& raise cows) 😂
Hi Suzy! Nice to hear from you!
This is very deep...💙
About 8 meters! Hahaha, yes, maybe on some other level as well...
So, basicly - it's a self made air bubble portal to better future. Breathe deeply! Even if you under the water. )))
hahaha, no need to breathe, you have air containers build in!
Daan, You have a big creative containers build in as well! So, thank You for this cooperation! It's a pleasure and honor to feel myself as a part of underwater dimension.
Beautiful and inspiring, thanks ❤
Dank je Sander!
That is truly a masterpiece 🔥👏👏👏
That's so kind of you to say!
Amazing and inspiring!
Glad you think so!
Bravo and brava
Thank you Grant!

Glad to read you could relate Julien!
So nice. So gentle.
that's a lovely way of putting it, I was gently aiming for that

Incredible work, guys! ❤
Right? I felt so lost before I picked up a camera - now I can't imagine going without it.
This is phenomenal! The colour grading is mesmerizing.
Thank you Heinrich - this was a very tricky edit!
Wieder mal ein richtig geiles Video mit schönen Effekten, Gruß aus Deutschland und euch allen gesegnete frohe Weihnachten

BOOM! you really reached a peak here guys. Gorgeous and inspiring!
(the little clear things moving around are fishes or random bubbles?)
they're bubbles - I was moving around her quite a bit and created weird vortex currents which seemed to suck in the bubbles
This is absolutely mind blowing! You have great talent Daan! Keep inspiring people!

😃 My fast Italian translation of your poem Daan:
Non è che noi decidiamo di voltare le spalle alla luce,
È solo che certe volte attraversiamo un momento difficile,
un periodo buio.
E lo devi affrontare.
Ma poi ti ricordi che quello che vedi
dipende anche da che lato lo guardi:
se tutto quello che vendi è nero,
forse la luce è dietro di te.
Quindi giri le cose,
cerchi di trovare una prospettiva diversa per la stessa situazione.
Quando i tuoi occhi si sono abituati al buio,
la luce può essere così troppo chiara da non farti vedere quasi niente.
Ma continui a provare,
e cominci a vedere il rovescio dell'oscurità.
Il dolore che hai provato
ti mostra anche che cosa sei capace di gestire.
Ma guardare al lato luminoso non è abbastanza:
devi anche FARE qualcosa da quella nuova prospettiva.
Importa poco che cosa sia, purché tu riesca a mettere te stesso in qualcosa di esterno,
qualcosa che ti fa guardare in alto,
qualcosa cui aspirare.
Qualcosa che ti sembri fattibile,
ma che richieda un po' per venire realizzato.
Può anche sembrare come una torta nel cielo,
ma sarai sorpreso da come piccoli passi si sommano:
quello cui prima guardavi in alto, come la cima di una montagna,
alla fine si mostra come raggiungibile,
al tuo livello.
E poi
scoprirai
che quello che hai creato,
in cambio
sta aiutando a creare te.
Le percezioni avranno colorato la realtà,
e la realtà avrà dipinto i dettagli del pianeta.
Non è stato solo il cambio di prospettiva a causare questo,
ma anche l'atto in sé di creare:
creare la Luce,
dove tutto quello che potevi vedere era
Oscurità.
Thank you 🤗

things do sound better in Italian
love this! am curious to know, how did you make that ring, is it vfx or is it a real bubble that she breathed out underwater?
real bubble rings - Sofe is quite good at making them, though we got lucky with the one she made that was so solid that she could float all the way through
And, it seems - only yesterday - you made
"and Bob's your bubble ring".
An entirely separate philosophical journey.🎈
(depending on one's perspective) Lol.💖🍻
(whales are arriving, Maui!)
Bubble rings are magic
supremo fratello.... semplicemente supremo.
Grazie Daniele!
a te.... sei speciale. un abbraccio🙂@@DaanVerhoeven
