Found this late but it hits. I’m so opinionated and you’ve made me more conscious of that than I usually am so thank you. And I’m looking forward to broadening my capacity to like things, and see beauty where I may have nitpicked before.
So true and so well conveyed, I've only this day found your channel. Really enjoyed the three or four I have watched. The eight or nine things that are not that important... your film (spores), the viral one, cinematic, and this one. I feel nourished. I have spent a few weeks intensively studying the art and techniques of video having rashly offered to make a series of promotional videos for a friend's bar and restaurant. I intend to do it properly... and tomorrow it starts in earnest. It will take a few days to shoot. So after all the hard core technical deep dive into doing that for weeks... nice to find a bit of zen going down. Thank you ps. I do have experience over thirty years using cameras for business and pleasure. But it's been a while since I had to take filming seriously in a business setting and above all now I am the crew and the post production there is no assistant or editor (I am very well practised in editing so the story telling part will hopefully go smoothly), stills in my usual medium. I would not like you to think that I imagine I can learn photography and filmmaking from scratch in a few week!!
All good! The hard balance is challenging yourself to do something different, while still delivering a piece the client will be happy with. It’s a tightrope! Most of my commercial work is not “art” but it’s a great way to try out a technique or lighting style or get some other “win” out of it.
How did I not discover your channel until just now. You offer something that all other photography channels don’t. I don’t know what that is yet but I like it. I too have a passion for many things most don’t. I Cary small notebooks to document my day. I carry bits of charcoal in my pockets in case I feel the need to create some artwork on the fly. And most importantly, my k1000 lives in my truck and goes everywhere with me. Keep up the good work! Thing I’ll start developing my own film instead of emptying my wallet at the photolab.
"But, I also don't feel compelled to broadcast my dislike." - Jesse Senko. This is what I dislike about the world right now. So many people feel the need to broadcast their dislike. It's annoying. So I'm doing it. Right now. I'm broadcasting my dislike. Oops! What have I just done!
It was cool to hear you talk about being homeschooled. I am 15 and homeschooled and just getting into ''film making'' me and my brother made two videos on Instagram that I cringe to watch now but I got a better camera and I can edit on a MacBook so the videos will be a little better now.
That’s great, Nathan! There are so many cringey videos I’ve made, but just keep making them. You’ve gotta make a lot of bad ones before you start getting good so just keep making!
It’s also ok to be contradictory in your likes too. I can go from Nolan’s Batman to Zvyagintsev’s The Banishment. Depends on my mood and my mood swings like cul de sac in Moorpark CA. Sorry. Late to the event but your stuff is… timeless.
Welcome back. Love the analog vibes, and thank you for rewinding. I knew someone who would say that "Opinions are like belly buttons, everyone has one and it serves no purpose."
Watching the VHS tape… man, there was beauty in not having much optionally. You were forced to watch your mom’s romance movies and actually appreciate the filmmaking and the morals in the story. For whatever reason, I always watched them from the middle of the movie, then if it was good, I rewinded the tape and watched from the beginning. Hating something doesn’t make you unique. Being excited about something makes you the most interesting person in the world.
We rented a cottage when I was a kid and they had the biggest VHS collection. It was always so overwhelming to choose, but I didn’t know what was ahead with streaming.
Loading the VCR... so satisfying. Watching this video was like a rollercoaster of emotions, and I'm not just saying that because I once rode a rollercoaster while watching a slow French film.
Some people need a way to make boring films more exciting. Glad you found yours… although I’d be worried about motion sickness :) thanks for watching, Graham!
Amazingly well made video! I hope you don't care but videos like this don't 'hit the YT algorithm' because they're not searchable and that is in no way a negative. I hope you are never discouraged. This is a video to be extremely proud of and you absolutely made something wonderful here. Thanks for putting this out.
Yeah. Isn’t that the way things go? Maybe should retitle “how to fix Maytag dishwasher error code” doesn’t bother me. The exercise and a few meaningful comments are fine for now :)
@@jessesenko - Ah Maytag in the title is what's been missing from my videos. 😲 That's the secret. Jokes aside, your work speaks for it's self. Keep making great stuff! Quality > YT clickbait crap.
So good. It's important to remember that art is subjective. Meaning you and only you get to decide what you like. Only you get to grow through your likes and get revisit even prior dislikes or prior likes. Art is only a pure reflection of our own journey. A reflection of all of it, the good the bad, the happy, the sad and the whole dynamic range in between. Thank you for this video! @jessesenko
A movie I find very entertaining that is utterly ridiculous Wolf Cop and its sequel Wolf cop 2:Another Wolf cop Just something to look at if you're looking for an off the rails, fun time

Oh hey, you new around here?
Will you two please just make a movie already?! Moar Sasquatch pleez. @@jessesenko

@@jessesenko Thanks for replying, that is so cool. I will let you know how it goes 🙂
This is genuinely one of the most beautiful videos I have ever watched on RUclips and I am very grateful that the algorithm blessed me with it
Thanks Georgia! Means a lot!

You’re here now, that’s all that matters! Sounds like you’re a lot more organized than me. My goal among many is to carry my camera more this year.
Loved everyone of the movies mentioned.

Wow Jesse. Everything you put here on RUclips is a gem. Thanks again.
Thanks Darrin!

Thank you! My tastes are all over the place too. And I haven’t heard of The Banishment. Will look it up!
Welcome back. Love the analog vibes, and thank you for rewinding.
I knew someone who would say that "Opinions are like belly buttons, everyone has one and it serves no purpose."
TRUE!! It's also ok NOT to like things but it doesn't mean it's pants! I liked this FYI :)
100%, just make sure you know what you like first.
@@jessesenko 👌🏻
Hot Rod is the best 😂! Thanks for your work I feel like I’m hanging out with the friend I wished I had in this current town I live.
Thanks for watching, and I def know the feeling!

400 blows, Night of the Hunter, BladeRunner, Seven Sumari's. Great movies. and Metropolis.
Just watched Seven Samurai with my kids!
Great video! Made me think about things. This message can really translate to any area other than movies.
Thanks! That's the idea!
Recently found your channel, what a delight. As a filmmaker I identified with all you said in the video. ❤
Thank you!
Man, I love this channel. Glad to have landed on it.
Glad you’re here too!
🥲 this one hit me. I love your integrity and truth. Defintely inspiring.
Very important message. Thank you for that.
Well still here and now I’ll never leave because it’s ok…. Hot Rod is objectively the best comedy ever - and I’m ok for feeling that
Thank you for making this. Maybe someday I'll be able to make something that good.
Great thought! Love it, keep it up!
Don't yuck someone else's yum. Love that phrasing. I appreciate your emotions bro
I didn’t come up with that phrasing, but helps keep me focussed on what’s good. Thanks for watching!
Thank you for rewinding!
it was always my job
It’s OK to like Jesse Senko videos. To wait for them to emerge now and then. No, really, it is.
Yeah, been a while, Kenny. But the good ones can always pick up right where they left off like no time has passed, right?
@@jessesenkoits so true

Was just chatting about prior likes and dislikes changing with a friend. Thanks for watching!
@@jessesenko amazing so things shift and some remain constant. Probably related to how we forge our identity/sense of self over time.
Couldn’t agree more.
I do enjoy myself some good old film analysis tho. Some people take it too personally sometimes lol.
Totally. Totally fine to articulate what’s not working for you, just don’t make it your whole dang personality!
@@jessesenko oh yea. I don't use Twitter or talk about movies that often IRL. Only when people bring up the topic
so I was just about to quote John Green's video from years ago on this very topic... and then you quoted him...
What was the quote!? I don't remember/recall!
@@jessesenko you said "yuck your yum" ...thats how I knew you were familiar with John Green so I didn't need to quote him to ya ;p
"The Artist," and "Roma" for me.
Roma is incredible!
Sooo if you don't like something you just have to keep your mouth shut?
A movie I find very entertaining that is utterly ridiculous
Wolf Cop
and its sequel
Wolf cop 2:Another Wolf cop
Just something to look at if you're looking for an off the rails, fun time
I think the sequel needs to be watched just because of its name lol. Thanks for sharing!
Couldn’t agree more.
Thanks Chris!
