Nice Film ever made. and gave me some inner energy
@@dulguunofficial Thank you! Happy to hear this
@@DEFYstudio you welcome :)
I believe that as well
You did a masterpiece.i Have tons of emotions with the racer.thank you at life.
Im not crying. A Porsche got in my eye.
What type
Happens to me all the time
Especially on race tracks
X2
dou el fercho
Yeah same,the type in my eye is a 911 gt3 rs 2016
Well, what a coincidence! A Porsche got in my grandfather's eye too. Thankfully, he's not crying anymore
the fact his girlfriend left him for his "obsession", but him succeeding, is so incredibly deep and true to life
i think the filmmakers themselves relate to this as well. filmmaking is long exhausting work that tends to seperate the artist from their close ones.
don't worry, he'll find a better one that supports him
Alternatively, he's a man who allowed a woman to fall in love with him when he never had any intention of being there for her. Indeed true to life.
@@s.d.6822 Or maybe he's just man who dared to dream and be mortal. You can't do it alone and certaingly not with people who cannot let you be just a man.
Women, this is not the main thing in life!
forgotten dreams hit hard when they are remembered. Live fast and die young
"Forgotten dreams hit hard when they are remembered" Wow... what a line.
I cried. I felt this. This is why we drive. It became my therapy, because when I felt like ending my life, racing/driving was the only thing that made me feel alive.
I’m glad other people feel this way. I always felt cringe for feeling like this LMAOO but I’m glad there are others who get it. The feeling is truly ethereal and otherworldly.
I've been suffering from a severe depression for 8 years now, which resulted in not being able to feel any emotions at all for such an extended period of time. This short film however made me cry, and I am incredibly grateful for that. An absolute masterpiece.
My pleasure :) I appreciate the kind words
David Burns - Feeling Good . this might be a sparkle for you
Thats great! I don't know why it took over 2 years for youtube to show me this video but i got goosebumps since the campfire scene. This whole movie is incredible!
ok, now go beyond it all ❤
Always believe in yourself that your life is worth living for, just like the rest of us... Always find the best in you and carry that best forward. Hope you will have happiness and life fulfilment. Trust me, I was in your situation once... You are not alone,
This should be officially promoted by Porsche. This gives me chills as I can in some part relate to that situation. Unbelievably good work ! Bringing through all the emotions without a single word .. wow ! Thank you for this ! I hope I'll see a lot more coming from you !
Thank you! I appreciate it!
agredd !
I don't understand your low views...
This really should be on Porsches tweets at least.
I wanna race😔
Far better than Porsches recent ridiculous ads.
This kid looks like max verstappen .
So true
Kinda of my story. Lived on a corner on a cul de sac and the neighbor had a brand new 911T Targa. I would be watering my parents' lawn and the car would be making the turn and the engine would be downshifting. The most awesome sound I ever heard. That was 1968 and I was 11. Up to that time, my dream car was the Mustang Boss 302. Two years later, the movie Le Mans comes out. I remember getting a paper model of the 917 from the local Gulf gas station. I was hooked. As soon as I was 18, I marched myself into my local Porsche dealer and bought me a brand new 914 in 1975 (had gone to a technical high school and was working at Hughes Aircraft as an electronic technician since I was 17). The memories of me in the car when I first got the keys is etched in my memory like it was yesterday. I joined the local Porsche Owners Club (still in existence to this day) and would race the car at Riverside International Raceway and Ontario Motor Speedway. Otis Chandler, the publisher and owner of the Los Angeles Times, had bought a Steve McQueen 917 and would bring it to the track. Those were the glory days. In some ways, when I got the 914, it was more impressive than when I finally got my 911 (997) even though when you hit the throttle of the 997, that engine sound is awesome, different from the 1968 911, but still awesome. At Riverside, I had no fears and topped out the car at 135mph. With the 997, its top speed is 177mph, but could not go any faster than 145mph because the fear of crashing kept me from going faster, even though the car was 100 times more stable than the 914.
From a filmmaker looking to get into more race car filming this is the exact inspiration I needed. This was incredible, so well shot, such an overall amazing production for a short film.
Thank you, thats great! I appreciate it!
@@DEFYstudio What Camera did you use?
@@slowdailys7914 The camera don't make this filmic effect. The lens that is on the camera making this look of picture. So, they definitely used anamorphic lens for this film. It has more distortion and noticeable lens flares than regular lenses.
@@erdUha Never said it did, I said that due to the Quality of the Video. You can always have a good Lense kit, but if the camera is no good. What good does that do?
This short movie conveys more emotions than any blockbuster movie I've ever seen.
it's like a trailer for a longer movie !
Thank you, happy to hear this!
The editing and music choices were top notch. Chills from start to finish.
This is a masterpiece
I loved the short film, you are part of my inspiration, I just started in the world of video, and this video motivated me more, congratulations
I’m not sure if you’ll read this, but this was really moving. I’m genuinely surprised it isn’t a Porsche ad, because it should be, this is top notch stuff here. My thanks for out to you for portraying the passion of the car hobby, and of motor sports, what you’ve created is a beautiful thing, and personally I think that in how it’s executed, is just how it should be. Thanks again, from me, and I’m sure from countless others who’ve watched this and understood the struggle and passion, it’s masterpieces like yours that remind us of the beauty in purpose and passion
Thanks so much, I appreciate the kind words. Glad you enjoyed the film
Three of my biggest passions in 2 minutes and 45 seconds: motorsports, cinematography and music. I will never forget my tears (I'm not exaggerating) the first time I watched this: January 30th 2020, 12:44 UTC.
Thank you, I sincerely thank you... To everyone responsible for this experience...
Thank you, I am glad you enjoyed it and appreciate the kind words. We are soon looking to develop this into a feature film :)
@@DEFYstudio has this got further development yet?
@@DEFYstudio If you need any racing drivers as actors or just to be on the lineup mail me @alfredsckerl@gmail.com
@@notmeiko Still working on the pre production, will be a couple years away still. Such a big task to pull off
@@DEFYstudio I bet it is! I believe in it though :)
This is a sensational and inspirational production. You deserve an award for this.
Chasing your dreams pays off and you should never give up. I wasn't lucky enough to grow up in an environment that would allow me to chase my motorsport dreams. Fast forward 20 years, I worked hard enough in life to be able to do motorsports as my weekend hobby. The very same car (a street-legal version of it) in your production is now in my garage and I couldn't be happier.
Thanks for the kind words and I agree! So happy to hear that!
thats my dream man, im 15 and living in texas. I'm lacking the time and money in order to pursue a career like this. so, right now I'm trying to find the best path for me where I can have my own car collection that i can do whatever I want with and lot of money at my disposal. respect to you bro. keep doing you
awesome to hear, that time didnt stop you from chasing your dream! You arent "to old" to chase you dreams and this alone deserves you a special car ;)
@@malekbekka9597 , you will figure it out! Little advice - I grew up in not so privileged part of eastern Europe. Always dreamed of racing go-karts but did not even have access to them. I would play Need for Speed on PC, watch rallies, and formula 1 on tv instead. When I was 13 I made a pledge to one of my best friends; I told him that one day I will move to a better country, get a Porsche and race them on closed courses. I told him that I have no idea how I am going to do that, and how long it will take... but I will figure it out, and ... so will you! Dream big and don't give up.
I hope like you to own a GT3! I also came from a very disprivileged background. Hoping to making that GT3 mine soon (think maybe 2-3 years) and take part in more motorsport weekends. Thanks for sharing your story.
You summed up my dream in 2m45s. But I nevermade it, poor family with no support.
However after 40years of determination, self believe I have managed to purchase a new 992GT3. The kid racer lives within. To old for factory Porsche RSR now, but I shall still have fun at The Bend. Thank You so much
Awesome so happy to hear that and my pleasure!
It's the first time I cried watching a film. As a racer myself this shows some light on the true dedication & passion we put ourselves through for a 'sport'. This film represented that in such a perfect way, truly motivating even if it's heartbreaking to watch.
To all riders out there, never quit.
& well done to you guys who made such a fantastic film!
Thank you so much! Absolutely, we can even relate with our passion of filmmaking.
Well done. About the only thing missing was a meeting with the sponsor, shaking hands as the racer got his financial backing.
Thank you! yes would add to it
Anyone with petrol for blood had a tear in their eye. This was spectacular!
Thanks Jonathan! Thanks for the kind words!
Driving a race car feels like screaming out at the world in a language only a few understand and feel. Excellent short film 👏
Exactly! Thank you for watching 😊
Anyone who has a chance to drive a competitive Kart should take advantage of it. The amount of power the 2 stroke motors produce is mind boggling the first time.
1:55 I don't know who needs this, but I had this come to mind right around this point in the video
"Everyone has bad days. The important part is how you get back up, push forward, and make it happen."
This short reminds Ayrton Senna, a humble man with spirit of giants.
Congratulations to the entire production!
Thank you!
Spirit of giants, this is solid
Great movie and thank you. Ironically, I met my now wife and mum of our 2 great kids the very day I picked up my 964. She said the attraction had absolutely nothing to do with the car... and I really believe her... ;-)
3 Years later I still watch it, this is one of the best films I've ever seen, you've really caught the tears in my eyes.
Happy to hear you enjoy the film! More to come very soon
And that my friends... Is how you say a million words while saying nothing at all. ♥️👏🏾
Thanks CJ, glad you enjoyed it
Always admirable Porsche, their build quality, performance and beautiful cars, make them special. Its true Porsche is an obsession ❤🧡💛💚💙💜🤎💯💥
I absolutely love this. Gives me chills watching this. I can somewhat relate to this. When I was a small boy I watched my first f1 race on the tv, I am now studying at school very close to f1 and other motorsport teams and now I have an opportunity that I never thought I would have in front of me working with a race team. It all started when I watched f1 with my dad in 2011
Happy to hear this, that’s great! Thanks so much. I wish you all the best 🏁🏁
Yes, there is a movie like this, The Art of Racing In The Rain. Rent or buy it
@@vetb882 what are you on about?
@@alexanderodonnell988 haha, I thought you were referring to anther post. There is a terrific movie called The Art of Racing In The Rain, Milo Vetimiglia stars in it.
Real life Pro race driver, and actor, Patrick Dempsey produced and was a consultant in the movie. Hope that makes sense now.
This story was legit better than the last fast and furious movie all together
How can one not be romantic about motor sport , great work @DEFY Productions
Thank you 🙏
Now if only there were a 718 here, I'd be crying..... two of my most admired cars, a 911 carrera GT3 and a 718 Cayman GT4... This production is gold
This felt like a knife through my chest.
It's the live I've been dreaming for more than a decade and never managed to turn into reality.
@Sawyer Mickelson
You're right ! 👍
I always say that we can only be sure we failed completely on something if we stop trying.
The go kart shot at 1:00 is incredibly beautiful
Thanks!
Girl: "I don't know why he's spending more time on his career, I thought I made him happy"
Him: *P̶̦̑ Ơ̸̯ Ȓ̶̳ S̵̢̽ C̵̡̄ H̴̹̓ E̴͉͝*
Porche should pay you big bucks for this masterpiece. Just amazing
This video touches my inner space. I lost my girlfriend because of my car. Passion to driving and racing was stronger than love. That hurts... However I am in the place where I wanted to be just like last scene.
Thanks man, glad you like it
The 9-5 grind and family life can be a soul crushing experience in this modern world - go chase your dreams.
I think of it like this…my Porshe will never leave me or find a new lover…and we can fly!!!! 🚀🏎🔥🔥🔥 In my experience, you can find someone who hates your racing or who embraces your dreams because they have that same fire and passion and they totally,100% GET IT. I know which man id want.
Sometimes we sacrifice our dreams for love and wake up an empty shell of ourselves, miserable and with our fire put out. I think about love. Does someone that is fine having that happen to you in love?
I don’t think so.
I know it’s sad and your heart may be broken. I know mine still is because I loved him with everything I had. At the same time, I’m at the track flying with my heart on fire and he’s already with someone else…didn’t love me so much after all. You give in and give all of it up and they still won’t be happy. Find your own happiness and then find someone that wants nothing but to see you on fire and living the dream (and do the same for her!). Let your lover be free to really live and you’ll find a love like nothing you’ve ever imagined possible. I’m not saying it’s not on 4 wheels like mine tho 😂🏎🔥🔥🔥
I’m sorry for your loss I hope in time you’ll find yourself in a place of peace and you’ll be happy in your car still 😉
Others would think its just a car movie but as a car enthusiast,
This movie have very deep meanings to me😮
Thanks for watching 🎥
My skin crawled with anxiety and tears began to well up in my eyes feeling the pain and struggle of this story. Whoever you are, we have common blood in our veins, filled with the drive to do our best. Thank you for your sharing your heart.
Porsche, the best car brand that i have ever see. Thanks Ferdinand Porsche for create this magic :)
I thought this was a ad from Porsche until I saw the comments damn. An absolute masterpiece
Thanks so much, I appreciate it!
This is the way you explain what you feel about cars.
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it
2:34 I was in awe throughout this entire video but you had me floored with that ending. What a perfect way to close it out.
Thanks for watching 🎬 glad you enjoyed it
We are the racers. All of us who shed a tear during these 2 minutes and 45 seconds.
Only one thing taught us from this entertainment, that "One Day Will Come Soon"
This anamorphic lens feeling fits perfectly this film!
Glad you noticed we shot on anamorphic!
This is the best non-porsche porsche advertisement I've ever seen
Glad you enjoyed it!
2:03 Christopher Nolan and Hans Zimmer entered the garage... All jokes aside, nice job!
Just seeing this today. Quite possibly the best short I've ever seen. The story telling is so subtle, clear, deep and well written. The brilliance in this is that I do not believe this to be a motor film at all. It is a film that expresses what we go through in life; the ups & downs, the sorrow of defeat, the agony of hardships, the struggle & perseverance to see something through, pure elation of victory - not of a race; but of a life full of passion. For a brief moment before the start of the race the protagonist was already the biggest winner. Cheers!
Thank you so much for the kind words 😊 great to hear your thoughts on the production
this makes me think "motorsport it's more than watching cars" and damn it's true
As photographer/filmmaker I can feel the emotion radiating from the video just the composition the story behind the one guy in a Porsche who lost it all just too make a come back in one of the worlds godly cars.
Thank you very much!
moral of the story: all you need in life is a porsche
This is the epitome of story-telling, filmmaking, exoticism, and complete perfection. I cant believe what this video made me feel.
Thank you, I appreciate it. Glad you enjoyed it
This kid reminds me on myself.
When I was a kid in the middle school I had a dream that I will work someday for Mercedes Benz as some kind of engineer.
Some of my mentors tried to kick me down by insulting me almost every day.
After the school I avoided that dream thinking that everyone would be like those idiots from the car mechanic workshop.
Today I've finished 3 of 5 years of programming college and after the graduation...
I will knock at the Mercedes doors asking for the chance to be the part of their team.
Thanks for the motivation!
Awesome man, that’s great
Not even a single word
and still get all the emotions!!!
this is a masterpiece..
If this is official, it's the greatest car commercial ever made. If it's not, Porsche needs to hire this man.
Much appreciated! Glad you enjoyed the film 🎥
*thank you engine* ... *For taking everything my heart couldn't*
That's why some people say life is a ride
Ohh myyyyy Goooddd !!!! GOOSEBUMPS ! IN EVER SCENE !!! 🤩🤩🤩💥💥💥💥
Thanks!!
The quality of SFX and the amount of efforts in matching music with visual mood is that small, non obvious thing, that makes this incredible filing of being in the place of main character and feeling everything with your own heart.... Best film I saw in last few years for sure. Great job!
When you put your heart into these machines, it really hits different.
Nah man nah, this has to be the best Porsche commercial ever... And now I'm watching this on repeat.... You guys are literally Top tier!! ❤️
Thank you very much!
It’s absolutely amazing how a video can make you cry several times.
I am going through a thought phase right now. I put everything I have in motorsports.
This videos shows just why I do it! Always keep going no matter what happens.
Thank you for this video! It motivates me and keeps me going.
Pursue your dream man! I have this dream too but... I don't have any opportunities right now, so if there's any hope for you, I hope you get it. 🔥
This was amazing! I loved every second of it! You were able to achieve so much in a such short run time, and it's a true testament to your skills as a story teller.
Thanks James! I appreciate it and glad you like it!
This is a masterpiece! the script, cinematography, sound design, music and color grade all this combination and the result is amazing congratulations!
Thank you so much 😊
Wow, awesome! Just got goose bumps!
These little details like the kid with the towel watching the TV, the face impression when the Porsche passing him on the race track, the face Impression when lying in the field with his girl. Just to remember his dreams and finally to live his initial dream.
Love the cuts, the scenes.
Motorsport evokes emotion not everyone is capable of feeling. This video makes it just a bit easier for people to understand why a machine can move our heart in ways that cannot be expressed in words. Thank you for this!
Agreed! Thank you!
This was f'ing amazing. Great story telling through visuals and no script. Maybe one of the best Porsche videos I've seen. Thanks for sharing.
I came to see this again. This is really art. I'm getting goosebumps.
Thanks for watching and we are glad you enjoyed it!
Just like my childhood experience, I fulfilled my wish to join 50th Macau Grand Prix, but the moment I leaved cockpit I knew I would never have the chance to compete again. Twenty-one years have passed in the blink of an eye, and for the sake of making a living, I have drifted further and further away from my dreams.
Porsche should be eternally grateful to this young man for the incredible restoration and transformation work he did to that old barn find it all started with.
Always wanted to track my car but never really had the means or time. Finally got a chance to start last year. This short film just encouraged me to keep the kid inside me alive. Thank you and well done!
Happy to hear this! Thanks so much
This has to be one of the best videos on the internet.. Awesome camera work, post processing, script, music, actors, vehicles.. I can say I never felt so many emotions just by watching a youtube video. Great job!
Thank you, I appreciate the kind words!
"Behind every racing driver is just a trail of destruction and tears"
Despite all the struggle and hardships life throws your way,
Follow your passion!
Absolutely 🏁❤️
This is excellent! Porsche automobiles, good music, and very well done cinematography.
Thanks a lot!
I've got goosebumps! This movie is so well done, that you even must not love racing to love this film. At the End I was missing a much powerful engine sound. Thanks A lot!
this has got to be one of the best short films ive ever come across, hope porsche sees this.
Thank you very much, I’m glad you enjoyed it
Nobody :
"ANYBODY can drive a car, BUT NOT EVERYBODY can race"
Loved it, racing has always been my passion,
(Just in video games 😅)
Man that sure got my heart racing. So much feels, love this !!
i love how the soundeffects are prioritised over the music, it really gives it the feeling of immersion into the story! Great job!
Absolutely, glad you picked this up and that you enjoyed it!
this 3 min short film literally has everything that i ever wanted, hot girlfriend and a Porsche
How have I only just found this video!! Amazing
Wow this was an eye opener, the way the video makes it feel like your dreams are literally close enough to reach out and grab. It just reels you into a passionate timelapse combining emotion, memory, and imagination. Top quality work on this video!
Thank you for the kind words 😊 glad you enjoyed it!
We all need to thank the camera man for this video, he grew up
😢 that was truly beautiful and I'm going to watch it again 😢.
Thanks for watching! Glad you are enjoying it
@@DEFYstudio Keep them coming
Masterpiece
Thank you 🙏
It was only a few seconds short of 3 minutes.
So much emotion , the little kid's passion , success , failure , and redemption.
Amazing.
Thank you very much :)
Literally everything in this video is perfect. I was even surprised at how much the kid and the grown man look alike
Was this not an official Porsche film?! Holy cow! Is this a passion project? Absolutely stunning.
You deserve millions of views and subscribers for something like this haha. Especially for that bts!
Truly an underrated masterpiece ❤
Thank you, much appreciated
Properly good film. Well done. Agreed that Porsche ought to be promoting it. Took me right back to the the same age and now I have two Porsche 911s - a '72 S and a '72 T being rebuilt into a '72 2.5 S/T. Porsche gets in your blood...
Thank you very very much! 🙏
Ich habe mich als kind gesehen aber leider ohne happy end, sehr emotional und fantastisch film ❤️❤️
Omg that one..
This should be officially promoted by Porsche. This gives me chills as I can in some part relate to that situation. Unbelievably good work ! Bringing through all the emotions without a single word .. wow ! Thank you for this ! I hope I'll see a lot more coming from you !
Thanks so much, glad you enjoyed it and definitely more coming soon 😊
the porsche in thumbnail is the one i just build in lego technic
Awesome!
Still in love with this absolutely epic short!
Thanks for watching 🎥
Wow I would definitely watch the full version of this .stellar work!
Man this was amazing, I got goosebumps ❤️
Keep up the good work ❤️
Thanks so much!
Boy would it be seriously cool if talent and passion was all it took. Then I'd be a pro GT3 race driver by now. But unfortunately that not all. You also need money. Literal tons of money.
This is the most well put together, beuatiful masterpiece I have ever seen. I would pay money just to see you Makena full movie. I have never watched something so powerful and emotional and inspiring in my entire life. This deserves an award. Well done.
I watch this at least once a month and it gets better each time
Thanks for watching, I’m glad you enjoying it 🎥
It is more then just a car
