Dude that simple "This is what it SOUNDS like to see a solar eclipse" is so powerful at reminding us to appreciate the moment. You've got a great mind man.
A friend of mine once said as we were on a camping trip, someone had pulled out a small speaker and was going to play some music, he asked for him to put it away, and he said, "we as a society have lost the ability to enjoy the silence". The rest of the trip, we did just that, went about doing activities and ENJOYED the silence! It was a great trip and helped me to realize that there are times we need to stop and do just that, enjoy the silence! ✌️
Not only did I hear one yesterday morning while walking the dog, I spotted the little guy. He was alone on a branch, singing his little song. I had a similar nostalgic experience, flooded with memories of playing outside and having fun. I realized in that moment that I can't think of the last time I've heard one of these fellas.
I thinked about this in a couple monthes ago, I also payed attention to mourning dove and I remembered my childhood memories, and this video is touched my soul. Thats why I love watching your videos it makes me go back in time and think deeply. Thank you❤
EVERY SINGLE TIME you put a little film out, you inspire me! You bring back just a little bit more of my joy for this world, my wonder and yearn to explore more! Thanks Jake. It is deeply appreciated by me and plenty more.
Your channel has become my absolute favorite channel. Came across your 2019 video and have binged your entire channel history. As a beginner photographer/videographer, your channel has been my biggest inspiration. Keep up the excellent work.
I have 3 pairs of mourning doves at my house, at first I loved them for all the nostagia reasons and I like the sound. But they can go ALL DAY right next to my window and drive me insane sometimes. They're also very clumsy and dumb, idk how they are still alive, they fall off our feeders constantly. They are closely related to pigeons so I now refer to them as "Nostalgia Pigeons"
Wow. I am so grateful for short films like this one. There is really nothing like it! To me you are a huge inspiration in the way you make videos like this and as well in the way you look at life. Thank you so much! All the best from germany
absolutely incredible. These videos never fail to put a little pep in my step and remind myself to take a deep breath. If you make it back to SoCal I'd love to take you on a skydiving, skateboarding, and wakesurfing adventure as a thank you for making these films
I love how you're able to bring a memory from the childhood alive together with all of the VHS footage and the story of the Morning Dove. I think now, more than ever, it's important to what we pay attention to, and I'm very happy that you're using your skills as a filmmaker to communicate the importance of that. Of what we consume. Of being aware of our habits. Really well done Jake. Thank you 🙏
i relate sooooo much with this video, since the Dove does exactly the same to me, it takes me to that specific time of my life where I had a nanny and I would go to her house after primary school and I would hear them always at her house..... priceless ! thank you!
they haven't gone extinct, we just stop listening to our surroundings! music, friends, and the stress of life is what keeps us from sitting down and decompressing life and just listening to mother nature and the life she has given us!
Jake you have no idea how amazingly touching and specific this was to me. As soon as you mentioned the mourning dove I knew EXACTLY what story you were telling. The way you described your relationship with its song is word for word the way it has been a part of my life as well. And I too had been wondering where it went. Thank you for this constantly needed reminder to us all. And I am so happy to hear that the mourning doves are not only still here but abundant.
I don't know why I cried during the eclipse but the sounds were so amazing in the dark and I felt as one with the crowd and the whole universe! Great video! ❤
Great message. Thanks for the reminder. Been a hectic few weeks so I definitely needed it. We have a family of mourning doves that hang out around our house. I see them briefly all the time as I race about my day, but sadly have not made the time to stop and listen to them in far too long.
My favourite video I've seen in a long time. WOW. The topic resonates so much, the framing of shots, lens choice, cuts, the colouring its all a perfect stir fry great stuff!!
so sweet. been trying to shift a lot of my focus to the emotions of a creation more than its other aspects. this video obviously made it easy because of how you crafted it, but also likewise with you served as a reminder to maintain this focus in the other parts of the day. thank you
The way the video started and the way it ended is great the starting made me want to see what was next and ended up enjoying it all the way through. Thank you Jake
One thing I really enjoy about your videos are that they aren’t like every other RUclipsr trying to grab your attention for every second of the video and all of your shoots are so intentional! I film skateboarding for my channel and I hope to get to this level of filmmaking someday!
I feel transported to another place with every one of your videos. It's truly a work of art and I'm glad I found you. I have a bookmark for your channel when I'm lacking inspiration I just pick a video. I aspire to one day stop everything going on around me and take the time just to live a little and tell my own stories.
Thanks! I've seen one total solar eclipse so far, in Germany 1999. It was just as amazing as in this video, down to the insects chirping like crazy as the sun went and the birds starting their dawn chorus a few minutes later.
Another phenomenal video from you Jake! 👏🏽And so different from any other solar eclipse video I've seen. There should be more creators like you, who don't just do the stuff every RUclipsr does, but make cinematic and inspiring content.
omg this made me cry... I think life is so, so, so beautiful and so full of so many things, feelings... so full of life, of moments. And we just miss it. We actively choose to miss it by ACTUALLY PAYING ATTENTION to everything, but to our sourroundings. I'm so sick of automatically thinking about putting my headphones on whenever I have to do something, it's so messed up that we have to be so aware of not being distracted by something nowadays. I remember the times where boredom was just something we had to get used to and we, trying to escape it, tried our best to get ourselves entertained. Now it's backwards. We have to now purposely choose to be bored or else, we will always be with our phones, headphones, thinking about work, studies, but never about the present. The real present. Right this second. Literally right now that you're reading this message. You, right now, are actually distracted. Again. And so am I.
I get lost in gear reviews convincing me my equpiment isnt good enough, and videos like this are a nice reminder that theres other things that actually matter. Thanks dude
I have the pleasure of hearing the song of the Morning Dove, each day, in the very house I grew up in. It’s crazy that you compare its song to childhood because I think the same thing each time I hear it.
The sound of the mourning dove used to remind me of days when I could live stress free, but I kinda forgot it. I will pay more attention from now on 🙌🏼
Dude that simple "This is what it SOUNDS like to see a solar eclipse" is so powerful at reminding us to appreciate the moment. You've got a great mind man.
"And _this_ is what it looks like when I stop caring about my camera, only _paying attention_ to what's in front of me."
When I was in school for audio design we'd always say "sound is easy, you just have to listen"
Being present really makes you appreciate the world.
A friend of mine once said as we were on a camping trip, someone had pulled out a small speaker and was going to play some music, he asked for him to put it away, and he said, "we as a society have lost the ability to enjoy the silence". The rest of the trip, we did just that, went about doing activities and ENJOYED the silence! It was a great trip and helped me to realize that there are times we need to stop and do just that, enjoy the silence! ✌️
I don’t know why, but your videos feel like a warm hug from an old friend. Thanks for the reminder, and keep making cool things!
Yeah, agreed. It's so great 😌✌🏻
I’m so so happy I discovered your channel man

Crucial message we all need to hear in this day me age. Thanks for sharing!
At this point all I can say is, THANK YOU. Just thank you for deciding to share. You re fabulous 💜
The storytelling is incredible. This was well done! Keep it up Jake!

Very nice Jake. Really love your style and all the attention to details in the video. And still love the moustache!
The solar eclipse part gave me goosebumps! Thank you for making this video and for the wonderful reminder! You're always an inspiration.
