I just got to the part where you said the person who worked on Ratatouille did their animation for the project you worked on - my jaw dropped, I paused the video, covered my mouth with my hand and said oh my God to myself, maybe a few times? I can't remember now, it's a bit of a blur. Unbelievable. I genuinely have butterflies in my stomach, that's incredibly exciting. Wow.
jack hi sorry this’ll probably get buried but i just wanted to say you’ve been one of my biggest inspirations and one of the reasons i want to pursue filmmaking as a career, so thank you for making content, and welcome back 💖
YOU'RE ALIVE!!!! Since the last time you uploaded, I GOT INTO FILM SCHOOL!!! I'm studying to become a screen writer and a lot of my love for film and creating things was continued and heightened thanks to your videos and the passion you share. I can't wait to check out what you've been working on and am so glad to see you're back online :)
it's really satisfying seeing you get these opportunities because you definitely deserve them. I've been watching you since I was about 10 years old, your videos inspired me to go to film school, which in turn led to me creating my own videos in my spare time. So thank you for essentially giving me this job, you've transformed my life.
I’m glad you posted on Insta about comments because I almost left one when I watched this video this morning and then talked myself out of it because I convinced myself that no one would see it and that my input wouldn’t make a difference. But that was silly! Why does my brain try so hard to convince me that doing nice things will make me look weak?! Anyway, it’s so nice to have a Jack Howard video in my feed again! I really love your work and I appreciated this update. Thanks for sharing what you’ve been up to even when things have been quiet, it’s a nice reminder that creative work isn’t always non-stop chaos and inspiration. Can’t wait to see what’s next :)
As vloggy, talk to camera, catch ups go this was slick and enjoyable. I give it 5 stars. Sad to hear you're quitting RUclips and retiring forever but this was a great vid to go out on.
I checked your channel literally yesterday to see if you had returned yet, and here you are!! Thanks for all the content you've made and continue to make, I'm excited to see more projects of yours in the future :)
what a lovely little update! it's nice that you took the time to put this together even though, as you said, it's been a slow year. the more the world moves away from the pandemic the more there's this feeling that you need to work twice as hard to "catch up" but honestly we're still very much in a transitional period and it's fine if things go slow, or not as planned. in the last year i only managed to pass two exams and write my thesis while my peers (and people much younger than me!) were graduating left and right, and sometimes it really bums me out to see everyone going "forward" while i struggle to keep up the pace but i'm trying not to let it get to me! the most important thing is being proud of what you achieve, and it's nice to see that you're always proud of your work and eager to share it with us :)
Sad to hear you are totally quitting and I wish you all the best in whatever you do after you leave whatever it is you are quitting. (But in all seriousness, cool that you took some time to do a thing and travel, its kind of comforting checking in seeing how a creator ive been following for a decade (aaaaaaaah) is doing, if only in brief, imperfect glimpses sporadically)
I was thinking to myself the other day "I wonder how Jack Howard is doing". I love that you're directing stuff, been watching for a while since 2009/10. Even if it feels slow, it's so awesome to see you doing what you love.
thank you for this update and im so glad to hear that despite not having any "major" successes, youve continued to pursue your work in film! ive been an avid fan of your work since i was in the 7th-8th grade and i just recently turned 24. just the other day i was thinking about you! you and your work have been such a constant in my life and have even helped me continue with my own artistic career. all the best wishes of success to you! cant wait to see what you create in the future ^^
The way RUclips is going deep in the archives to recommend to me Crabstickz twitch streams and this video… time is weird. I have work in the morning but down the rabbit hole I go.
aaaa here i am 3 weeks late bc adulting, but i always come back! your work and talk of film has always been so interesting to watch, so it's nice to hear from you and see what you've been working on! you've been one of my favorite sources for film for years and definitely inspire me to get involved
Hey! I would say I've been a fan for a long time but that would be a lie, I came in at around 2018, it doesn't matter. Anyway, I just wanted to say that the way you've been able to make a living off of something like filmmaking, which is already an insane accomplishment in the area, it honestly inspiring. Showed my starry-eyed teenager self that becoming famous or making too much money isn't really success in creative industries, just being able to live off of what you create has enough success in itself. As an aspiring author, that's the dream. Can't wait for some awesome future film content.
With the way the socials are it never really felt like you had gone. This is just a nice Jack Howard content extended cut that we get to indulge in. I'll keep following your progress and laughing at your silly little gags
So good to see you back! I've missed seeing uploads from you and been watching all your older content so much, I especially love that heaven one where dean is god. can't wait to see the new film!
Cause I follow you on insta it doesn't feel like you were 'gone'. It's lovely to see you talk to a camera and hear an update though. It probably doesn't feel this way to you, but it's like a catch up over coffee with a friend. Keep doing what works for you and see you around
I really enjoy hearing about the behind the scenes of the creative process and the ebb and flow of work and inspiration. It's so different from my very structured and predictable and non-generative 8-5 life. Come back and tell us about it (whatever stage you are in) anytime!
About a week ago I thought to myself what is that JackHoward bloke doing and here you are telling all of us exactly what you have been doing. Good stuff.
I can't believe it's been a year already! Congrats on the good work - in the field you want to be in!! - and for sharing even when you "haven't had a massive success". Good to see what you've been up to. (also that end screen was simultaneously frightening and funny).
Hi Jack, good to see you on RUclips again! I hope things pick up soon and you get to be on some more sets, but I also hope we see you here more often. :)
Love Jack Howard been watching for years now, just a good dude and a even better director. Funny as well. will always watch to see what he’s Got coming next
jack, you really are one of the goats. we love and appreciate seeing all the little parts of your journey and it was so lovely to hear your voice again. shoutout to you for keeping us updated and for keeping bloody at it! until next time…
Love this! So glad that you're getting to direct more often. Have always enjoyed the videos on your channel (also Jack & Dean) Looking forward to seeing what you do next!
I really have nothing of substance to say, but this made me abundantly happy. Thanks for being a staple of my recommended videos for the past decade, Jack. Wishing you all the very best!
honestly i had never thought you’d quit. i don’t think you’ll do youtube forever, obviously, but part of me knew that you hadn’t abandoned us yet. and if you truly were leaving, you’d say goodbye. really proud of all the accomplishments you’ve achieved this past year, and it’ll only go up from here. best of luck, jack!
How lovely to see you again. You got me film podcasting myself, so many thanks for the inspiration. Also this whole video was lovely and then the last 2 seconds happened.
To be fair I never thought you were going to "leave" but the longer it was without a new video, the more I wondered how long it would be until you came back. Welcome back! Your videos have always been great, and love the way your style has grown and changed over the years. The shots and editing in this was so good! 💚
Jack it's amazing to see you with the handheld mic! I found through my videos the power holding a mic can give you. BBC style. Amazing content my friend, thank you for making it!
I just binged watched all of East Mode and what an experience! I am blown away. Have to say, I'm quite tired of Asians perpetuating this "all asian parents are emotionally abusive but we're okay with it because it's just part of being "asian"" trope, so Asian Parent AI was my least favourite. But I LOVED Reincarnation Department and was straight up cackling at the Ratatouille one.
It's almost like I can still hear his voice, miss him so much, so sad he quit
So sad to hear Jack is quitting for a second time. Really I believe he wanted to be as explicit about not coming back as possible.
Hahah
I just got to the part where you said the person who worked on Ratatouille did their animation for the project you worked on - my jaw dropped, I paused the video, covered my mouth with my hand and said oh my God to myself, maybe a few times? I can't remember now, it's a bit of a blur. Unbelievable. I genuinely have butterflies in my stomach, that's incredibly exciting. Wow.
RIGHT!? I genuinely thought I wouldn’t get a reply but here we are. I still can’t quite believe it.
@@JackHoward That's so great 😀
the comments: sometimes I can still hear his voice...
Jack: QUIT TELLING EVERYONE I'M DEAD
Damn you for beating me to this joke.
jack hi sorry this’ll probably get buried but i just wanted to say you’ve been one of my biggest inspirations and one of the reasons i want to pursue filmmaking as a career, so thank you for making content, and welcome back 💖
Thank you, that’s a very kind thing to say x
“Don’t call it comeback but you can call it comeback if you want”
That in it of itself, Jack, makes months you’ve been gone worth it
YOU'RE ALIVE!!!! Since the last time you uploaded, I GOT INTO FILM SCHOOL!!! I'm studying to become a screen writer and a lot of my love for film and creating things was continued and heightened thanks to your videos and the passion you share. I can't wait to check out what you've been working on and am so glad to see you're back online :)
Best of luck with your schooling!
@@abbystevely7018 Thank you! I'm really loving it!

I've been watching you since I was about 10 years old, your videos inspired me to go to film school, which in turn led to me creating my own videos in my spare time.

This man literally documents his year in a park, and still manages to make it interesting.
Good to see you again mate.
So sad that Jack is no longer on RUclips, but so glad he's happy with his pack of wolves
That slide and voice-over combo editing was ✨DELICIOUS✨
Jack: *pulls out ukulele* "Hey it's been a while since you saw my face i havent been doing so great so i took a little break"
I’m glad you posted on Insta about comments because I almost left one when I watched this video this morning and then talked myself out of it because I convinced myself that no one would see it and that my input wouldn’t make a difference.

I was just thinking the other day if you would ever come back, welcome back Jack!
Weird to know people think about me like that haha. I sometimes wonder if me and the Queen are showering at the same time.
Dude it’s just nice to see you again, can’t wait for you to get more cool opportunities in the future. I know you’ll kill it.
Finally, I can quit shouting, “Jack Howard is a QUITTER!!!” every 10 minutes. I am exhausted. Welcome back! ❤️🏳️🌈❤️🏳️🌈❤️
I miss Jack. Sometimes I feel like I can still hear his voice. 😔
Jack!!!! I remember you from years back of my younger life miss you!!

You went to Africa
...AND FILMED IN PORTRAIT MODE!
Sad to hear you are totally quitting and I wish you all the best in whatever you do after you leave whatever it is you are quitting.
(But in all seriousness, cool that you took some time to do a thing and travel, its kind of comforting checking in seeing how a creator ive been following for a decade (aaaaaaaah) is doing, if only in brief, imperfect glimpses sporadically)
Maaaaan I haven't heard "dooblydoo" in so looooooooong I love it.
I was thinking to myself the other day "I wonder how Jack Howard is doing".
I love that you're directing stuff, been watching for a while since 2009/10. Even if it feels slow, it's so awesome to see you doing what you love.
We want the leaving gifts back if you're just going to swan back in whenever you feel like it.
Spent ages making that cake.
Too late I ate it
Short film looks sick!! Love your direction 😎😎 good luck for future and all that jazz
Hope you enjoy the full thing. I think it feels very ✨me✨
Seeing your RUclips idols get success in their chosen field is so wholesome
damn i missed jack after he quit youtube...sometimes i still hear his voice...
saw the three advert as an ad for a vid on twitter (very weird thats where i saw it, but-) i absoutly loved it!!
thank you for this update and im so glad to hear that despite not having any "major" successes, youve continued to pursue your work in film! ive been an avid fan of your work since i was in the 7th-8th grade and i just recently turned 24. just the other day i was thinking about you! you and your work have been such a constant in my life and have even helped me continue with my own artistic career. all the best wishes of success to you! cant wait to see what you create in the future ^^
I don’t want to call it a come back

Me realizing how much I missed him but also was like- I can still hear his videos sometimes 😅
love the shot 3:39 onwards oooooooooooooooooooooo

Thanks for that reminder, Sean
With the way the socials are it never really felt like you had gone. This is just a nice Jack Howard content extended cut that we get to indulge in. I'll keep following your progress and laughing at your silly little gags
That reference to the doobly-doo unlocked core memories in me
Dunno whether vlogging in playgrounds is a genre but you and Miles are absolutely killing it!
Myles is the GOAT
So good to see you back! I've missed seeing uploads from you and been watching all your older content so much, I especially love that heaven one where dean is god. can't wait to see the new film!
East Mode was great
Glad you enjoyed :)
Cause I follow you on insta it doesn't feel like you were 'gone'. It's lovely to see you talk to a camera and hear an update though. It probably doesn't feel this way to you, but it's like a catch up over coffee with a friend. Keep doing what works for you and see you around

This reminded me a bit of inside, just the camera angles and shots. Good to have you back uploading :)
About a week ago I thought to myself what is that JackHoward bloke doing and here you are telling all of us exactly what you have been doing. Good stuff.
john green still calls it the dooblydoo
Nice to hear from you lovely boy. Glad things are fine, loved the new short!
paying homage to Jordan Peele's 'get out' at the end
I can't believe it's been a year already! Congrats on the good work - in the field you want to be in!! - and for sharing even when you "haven't had a massive success". Good to see what you've been up to. (also that end screen was simultaneously frightening and funny).
We’ll miss you Jack
Hi Jack, good to see you on RUclips again! I hope things pick up soon and you get to be on some more sets, but I also hope we see you here more often. :)
Good to hear from you and sounds like you are doing everything right to be honest
Love Jack Howard been watching for years now, just a good dude and a even better director. Funny as well. will always watch to see what he’s Got coming next
Love you my dear pal
A surprise for sure, but a welcomed one
Always very interested to hear about your career. I’ve just graduated from film school and gotten my first job as a PA on a network tv show. Cheers
Congrats Emily x
JACK HOWARD!!!!!!!!!!!! I have missed you!!
jack, you really are one of the goats. we love and appreciate seeing all the little parts of your journey and it was so lovely to hear your voice again. shoutout to you for keeping us updated and for keeping bloody at it! until next time…
lets bring back calling it the doobody doo, it was a simpler time
so much effort into another goodbye video, it’s sad. The team wishes you all the best! Hope the north treats you well
i have to say that i’m glad you’re back, i’m also hugely happy for you for all the achievements you’ve had. sending you love and positive vibes 💜
Wishing you all the best, Jack.
Your videos kept me sane during Covid - I'll always keep an eye out for anything you put out. Best of luck!
Nice to see that you've been working hard and getting your dreams to life. Look up to that.
A very lovely video, made very well. Made my day a little bit nicer, thanks Jack ❤
appreciate the honesty. and really enjoyed the pick up!
what a pleasant surprise!!!! lovely seeing this in my sub box
The Monster Rally is back
Damn, I had hope he was gonna return; but this has cemented it, he’s actually quoting.
Love this! So glad that you're getting to direct more often. Have always enjoyed the videos on your channel (also Jack & Dean) Looking forward to seeing what you do next!
I really have nothing of substance to say, but this made me abundantly happy.
Thanks for being a staple of my recommended videos for the past decade, Jack. Wishing you all the very best!
Wish you all the best, we will be missing you
Missed you Jack
Loving the social network poster, Jack
Man, you're great holy shit, mega congrats for everything
honestly i had never thought you’d quit. i don’t think you’ll do youtube forever, obviously, but part of me knew that you hadn’t abandoned us yet. and if you truly were leaving, you’d say goodbye.
really proud of all the accomplishments you’ve achieved this past year, and it’ll only go up from here. best of luck, jack!
the shots theough the binoculars look so cool :D
monster rally lets gooo
damn! how wild. my mind literally wandered to the thought that youd been gone for a while just last week and i wondered how you were
Throughly pleased your back RUclips hast been the same without you. Keep up the good work your amazing at what you do
How lovely to see you again. You got me film podcasting myself, so many thanks for the inspiration.
Also this whole video was lovely and then the last 2 seconds happened.
you have been one of my favourite creators for yearsss, and watching this again has reminded how entertaining of a youtuber you are
damn a year goes quick, welcome back Jack
Not gonna lie, I get a little "wee!" feeling when I see a video of yours pop up. Like, one of the few I make an effort to watch ASAP.
To be fair I never thought you were going to "leave" but the longer it was without a new video, the more I wondered how long it would be until you came back. Welcome back! Your videos have always been great, and love the way your style has grown and changed over the years. The shots and editing in this was so good! 💚
So sad to see you go Jack, you will be missed. But what a wonderful final goodbye on the channel
Jack it's amazing to see you with the handheld mic!
I found through my videos the power holding a mic can give you. BBC style.
Amazing content my friend, thank you for making it!
Me, withered and grey: Jack? After all these years? So nice to see you again.
very glad to have ya back jack
I just binged watched all of East Mode and what an experience! I am blown away. Have to say, I'm quite tired of Asians perpetuating this "all asian parents are emotionally abusive but we're okay with it because it's just part of being "asian"" trope, so Asian Parent AI was my least favourite. But I LOVED Reincarnation Department and was straight up cackling at the Ratatouille one.
This is such a brilliant video. Very few creators put so much work into the details and the payoff is massive.
Welcome back Jack! Nice to see you
Jack’s Absence: Act II
I missed you. Glad to hear you're doing good :)
Good to hear from you. See you in a year for your next update! 🙂
i am genuinely happy to see your face again
I swear I have friends irl, but watching any of your videos is like talking to a dear friend
as an aspiring actor, it is my dream to work with Jack on a project like one of these
Long time no see, Jack. I'm glad you are back!
