My dad just launched a website for his artwork that he's been working on for years. Give it a look if you get the chance, it's insane. www.coloradosketchbook.com
Tremendous work. I find it incredibly enjoyable to see life through your eyes. Your videos scream creativity to me - so much of the experience you give is unique, as in, it doesn't exist anywhere else. It was an honor to be in this one, and more than that, I'm really grateful to be your friend. It was a blast hanging out in Paris and I got a lot out of our conversations. Keep going dude. Looking forward to crossing paths again soon.
This is a masterpiece. I watched it three times and then stared at the wall thinking about it for 10 minutes after. So thankful for you and your creativity.
If there was a RUclips Academy Awards, this video would no doubt be nominated and quite possibly win. Much love to you, your dad, Nathaniel and everyone else around you.
I don't think any damage is necessarily good. But it can certainly lead to growth and self improvement if we let it, rather than enveloping ourselves in self pity.
Shaffer, The reality of Life is, nothing ever stays the same. One may have a Comfort Zone for sometime in one's journey, this will not last. Our Unconditional Loving Souls in our life will pass on & yes Grief Is Grief & It Sux's. I would like to meet the person who started using "There Is Closure". Never possible. You have memories & they are always with you in your Heart & life your still living in. Come to the reality of, "our bodies were only made to last for so long". Your Dad is very gifted in his Expression of Art & Nature. You have a zest to discover & understand & accept the positive in life with others. The negative is like a thorn under the nail & we use tweezers to take it out & life goes forward. Comradery With Others Is A Mainstay in Life & those we get to have it with, in our Journey Travels. always, Tommy🤠
There’s very little chance you’ll see this comment, and I’m okay with that. But, if you do end up reading it, I want you to know how much talent you have. I’ve never had a RUclips channel touch me like yours does. Writing, humor, and cinematography are my biggest passions in life, and your channel encapsulates the level at which I want to be at one day. You’re seriously one in a million dude, and a big break is coming your way.
Your storytelling is always spellbinding, or maybe it’s your voice. Glad you got to visit Paris , I’m sure people watching was a real pleasure. But travel is good for us, we get a little while away from our usual perspective.
Storytelling is a gift, what u have is is a near superpower, I don't know how the future works out for u dude but whatever it entails u will be leaving people feeling the feels wherever u go. I'm no longer religous, but these video essays share a certain grandness, philosophical nature, and ultimately intropsective reflection and interest in relationships that shares all the good memories I still have toward it. I can't eloquently articulate beuatiful prose but I can say this: Keep inpiring, you were born to do it.
Hey bro, we have a lot in common. Ive been to Gunnison, Ive been to Paris and I live in Denver and I make movies too. oh and my boys played on that exact playground too!
It is wild. The old saying, no matter where, cream always rises to the top must be true. By simply chance, long ago ran across your channel and have been watching. Then, long the way, saw Nathaniel's channel (linking via Kara and Nate's) Some of his content reminded me of some of creativity and thought process you had discussed making a video. Then, today learn you and him are friends and you admire his work. Sweet. I expect we will see your channel flourish as his and Kara/Nate's have and I hope as well, you remain grounded and true as K/N. Off to check our yoir dad's channel, sure it will be the next gem.
So. Freakin. Good! Dude, I passed through Gunni in October and I think you're super lucky to live there. I'd take that town in a heartbeat. I'm from small town KY, small town CO is way cooler. Your family seems awesome btw.
Enjoying this one Shaffer! Nathaniel Drew and growing his “little RUclips channel” which is 1.63 million 😂❤ Beautiful edit and storytelling here by the way, now I want to go there and I hadn’t had an interest before. 1st time in Europe last year hitting Berlin, Hamburg and Amsterdam. Didn’t want to come home to the states. Damn your dad has skills 🔥 Great message here Shaffer, watching it again now. I’ve been thinking I want to move our family our West (Colorado, Montana or Washington) or even Europe. I grew up in Oregon. But I haven’t really explored all that Minnesota has to offer, probably should do that first
Your message is so true, Shaffer! Creativity can happen anywhere, just like we can impact and help people in our communities, no matter where we live. You are truly making a difference in your community of Gunnison and everywhere you go. When I need a little inspiration, I watch your videos. Your smile is infectious and it always makes me smile too!
“My creativity North Star” “He’s like a mountain yeti that may or may not exist “ You are a true wordsmith my friend and someone like your dad that pays attention to the details around you. This reminds me that God is the source of creativity and that as image bearers we have it in our dna. What a gift. Love the way you highlight the beauty that is all around us!
I've always been created and it wasn't until, after 4 eye surgeries, that I discovered my very hidden talent...PHOTOGRAPHY! I used to try and draw but it doesn't come as natural to me, I write as well but the passion isn't there. I went to art school about 20 yrs ago, I wanted to design logo's or something along those lines but after I almost lost my eyesight, I had to give up at that time due to my eyes being damaged. For over 20+ years I suffered with mild color blindness and depth perception problems. Turns out, the surgery I had after retinal detachment had caused me to have cataracs...and not one doctor could figure this out all those years! Well, after the next set of surgeries on both eyes (1 for each eye) my vision was almost compeletely restored...the moment I saw the world in full color was a moment I will never forget. I started taking photos and pretty soon everyone was telling me how talented I am and how my creativity shows and how I manage to make the ordinary EXTRAOrdinary...I have now started a youtube channel where I am able to create videos w/music and my artistic creative self can flow...it may only be a small channel but it's just wonderful to create for me...finally feel like I found creatively what I was looking for!
I wish I would have been half as creative at your age. I can't wait to see where you go in the future, given how far you've gotten to date. I'm so glad that making films is the thing you can't not do. It serves you and all of us so well. Thank you!
Duuuude! This is amazing. So inspiring. Aaaagh, your visual language and way of telling stories is so much in line with my intentions for this year. Can't believe I found you randomly just from the idea of getting a van and here you are having coffee with one of my favorites on RUclips. Excited to see what you have in store.👑
Shaffer, I can't tell you how lucky I feel to have connected with you these few months ago. Honestly, I think YOU might be the most creative person I know. Your videos are so refreshing, so unique... but at the same time so relatable and, despite their technical complexity, surprisingly simple (which gives a sence of peace and tranquility). Thank you for all you're doing, sincerely :)
You're really talented man! Love the story, and love the visuals🔥 Did you film this with the FX3 and did an incredible work recreating film look? If yes, this is the best film emulation I've ever seen!
Love you Shaffer ❤you are so talented and always vulnerable PLEASE keep doing what you do! So many other creators would give anything to have even a small amount of your talent !
If I may offer a suggestion. You have incredible videos with great storytelling, but you are not getting the visibility you deserve. Maybe use your style to make a few gear reviews to draw people in to see your other work. You use Sony and Lumix, like me. Make a video about each one and why you chose them. People (and me) for some weird reason love watching videos about gear. Keep up the amazing work!
loved it man! loved it even more seeing Nathaniel in the video, as i got to know about you after he posted a story about your incredible work, it feels like a complete circle seeing you both in one video! keep going, you inspire someone like me from all another corner of the world (India). Hoping to cross path someday, I'M pretty positive

On ne voit bien qu’avec le coeur, l’essentiel est invisible pour les yeux.
Small town or not, that is a pretty sick playground.
This was a lovely film!
This is beautiful
If there was a RUclips Academy Awards, this video would no doubt be nominated and quite possibly win. Much love to you, your dad, Nathaniel and everyone else around you.
I love your way of telling stories, you are special, a little bit damaged too... in a good away. Please man, continue. Wherever you are.
I don't think any damage is necessarily good. But it can certainly lead to growth and self improvement if we let it, rather than enveloping ourselves in self pity.
@@joeyhuebner10 exactly. Good in that way. We need some bad things to grow. But some people may believe that is wrong... I don't.
This one was deep. Awesome video with lots to think about. Well done!
I just started watching it and I already like it. What a beautiful and profound work. I'm already subscribed and loving it. What fantastic colors.
Wow, best stumble of the day. Exquisite story telling. Uplifting and genuine. Well done.

Thanks so much for watching Anna!! I’m so glad you enjoy my videos and I sincerely appreciate your kind words ⚡️
A beautiful nugget of creativity set in a background of contemplation. thanks
Love the storytelling of this video.
Your storytelling is always spellbinding, or maybe it’s your voice. Glad you got to visit Paris , I’m sure people watching was a real pleasure. But travel is good for us, we get a little while away from our usual perspective.
damn crazy to see the collab with Nathaniel drew

Bro this is so heartwarming and just what I needed to hear right now. Thank you X
Constantly coming back to your channel to get an inspo dose. Appreciate your work 👍
I would love to be a bystander of your solo shoot at the park haha! Thank you for another passionate, powerful message
Hey bro, we have a lot in common. Ive been to Gunnison, Ive been to Paris and I live in Denver and I make movies too. oh and my boys played on that exact playground too!
This looks like film damn near!
What a beautiful piece. Thank you.

DUDE.. Your Visual Storytelling is from another world!!! This was insane. Thanks for the work you put into this video
I loved this video. It almost brought a tear to my eyes.
Funny, you make creativity look effortless. That rubbery slo mo swing shot - 👌. Always a joy Shaffer. And your Dad’s pretty grouse too!
Thank you, Shaffer
This was so good man! Felt like you really put your heart into it! (like every other project you do!)
okay HIIIII this is wildly great and I'm so inspired. Thanks for creating

Stumbled upon your channel b/c of split boarding… Really nice surprise. You’ve got talent hombre!
Speaking of inspiration!! You, sir, are a definite source for me. Storytelling is one of the most creative things one can do. Well done.
so happy i ran into your channel... wish you all the best, keep the good and inspiring work!

Found your channel through some random comment on another video. Your editing style is sooooo good!
I wish I would have been half as creative at your age. I can't wait to see where you go in the future, given how far you've gotten to date. I'm so glad that making films is the thing you can't not do. It serves you and all of us so well. Thank you!

Awesome collab! I love your take on Paris, very creative ;)
Hopefully one day more creativity finds me :)

good shots and editing!
WHAT A VIDEO! Amazing ✨
This was cool!
My god you know how to line up a shot
Phenomenal video
excellentttt
Mid sized nowhere town 😂
If I may offer a suggestion. You have incredible videos with great storytelling, but you are not getting the visibility you deserve. Maybe use your style to make a few gear reviews to draw people in to see your other work. You use Sony and Lumix, like me. Make a video about each one and why you chose them. People (and me) for some weird reason love watching videos about gear. Keep up the amazing work!
What the- ..do all youtubers know each other?? What is this? A secret club?! 😆
