the nostalgiafication of everything | a video by Shaffer Nickel
#nostalgia #nostalgic #shaffernickel #oldschool #youtubenewwave
Hey few things - first off this was one of my most personal videos in a long time and it was important to me to have the nostalgia scenes feel somewhat universal so I shot the majority of this on film whichhhhhh was not cheap so even though I hate being this guy: a like and a comment for the algo would go extra far in my heart on this one. Second, there is no secret vlog. (There never is though right? What secret vlog?) but there is a secret bonus video from my second channel linked in the description. Lastly, I kept sponsors off this video because it felt like the wrong one for that vibe so if you’re interested in supporting the channel further and also getting (many) hours of bonus videos consider joining the channel. Okay that’s all. I love you. I hope this video is meaningful to you. I put a lot of love into it. 🖤
This was so enjoyable. Thank you for putting your heart into it, it paid off. Film well spent. Do you have Patreon or some way to give a tip?
That shiz was nice
❤
With what camera and what film stock don’t be shy share :)
Being 18, and hearing that I'll live to 71 (statistically), it's insane to realize that 25% of my life has been lived... thanks Shaffer for making such a sick video (and making me realize my mortality)
this video made me nostalgic
sincerely.
Sunday sermons should be delivered in 8-minute video essays by Shaffer Nickel. It would save a lot of time and save a whole lot more souls.
this is my favorite youtube format. Cinematic, narrative, and thought-provoking. Excellent and inspiring
It is always a good day when Shaffer Nickel posts
Shaffer I don’t wanna alarm you but I think you might be goated
Love the circle back to the opening line at the end with the subtle change of romanticizing the NOW
A few of these points really hit home for me. I feel like I live in and think about my past way too much, but im still young.
Wake up babe new Shaffer Nickel just dropped
Thanks Shaffer. The thing i love most about your videos is i always feel something when i watch.
Romanticize the present in a nostalgic sense gets me out of an Eastern philosophical new agey place regarding the present. This is workable
Man, your storytelling is amazing. Thank you.
Andy J. Pizza over at Creative Pep Talk has described nostalgia (bad nostalgia) as "the ghost of gratitude we didn't express" and that really resonated with me. You're just being haunted by the times you weren't wholeheartedly dunking your whole brain and body in the world around you.
I think, also, that good nostalgia is like a much cooler ghost that lets you make eye contact with a version of you that doesn't exist anymore across a single moment
loved "we are collectively defining our future nostalgia" very philosophical
When and where your're born determines a lot of what will feel nostalgic to you. I have my brother's jean jacket from the early nineties. It looks quaint and it used to look cool.
"when we have an encounter with one of the many people we have once been" good quote
this video makes me want to buy 5 thousand dollars worth of camera equipment
It’s always a good day when Evil Shaffer’s optimistic clone posts a video.
Damn didn't know The Kung Fu Panda Guy could shred like that!
Haha for real though man the way you can breakdown a general theory like nostalgia, and then navigate such meaningful topics is a gift.
"I want the present to be as tangible as I picture the past."
Appreciate the reminder ❤
refreshingly vulnerable and poignant in an evergreen way, 10/10 would almost cry again
Genuinely one of my favourite RUclips channels rn
"Someday you will be nostalgic about the life you are living now" I can confirm!
Absolutely fantasitc.
Your storytelling blows me away every single time.
Your filmmaking is great, but what is really top tier is the humanity that you bring to these projects.
We certainly live in some weird times, but I agree that we shouldn't take this for granted, as true joy can still be found, at least for those of us lucky enough to not be living in a conflict zone, or any number of other situations that can prevent it.
I truly believe immersing ourselves in nature is a huge part of retaining that joy for life and it allows us to really appreciate the present moment (as do the extreme sports, though i'm more about the snowboarding and can't skate for s*** lol).
Great work, brother! Keep at it!
This is some of the best stuff you can find on the interwebs!
Brought me to tears. In such moments i love the internet for connecting us like that. The feels are immaculate. I adore it!!
Sheesh the VO casually packed with some of the hardest lines I've heard. Flamio my friend 👏
Beautiful work. I was moved by this video 🔥
Man this brought me to tears
It's so rare to find a creator on YT that feels truly sincere and unique. (Also, 4-3 aspect ratio works well here) Bravo 👏
'No man ever steps into the same river twice'
Finishing college in a few weeks one of the most nostalgic times I’ve ever been just looking back on all my old memories and how I’ve got here and how grateful I am for how things have happened
An absolute gem of a video.
Not that you need it, but this is worth millions of views in quality
Everything about the video was beautiful! The visuals, storytelling, the fonts, and the message. Thanks for the reminder to be grounded in the nostalgia of the present moment!
I’m currently studying film at uni and I often ask myself why. This video is why. I don’t care for feature films, I want to make work exactly like this. Cinematic slices of life that capture an emotion and show the beauty of our ordinary lives.
Damn, I loved this. There was such authentic and thought provoking reflections through out the video and the summary at the end was so beautiful, literally goosebumps. I especially loved the idea that our future self with nostalgificate and long back to what we are experiences right now, and the power and beauty of being nostalgic also about the present. What a masterpiece, Shaffer!
You and Wildfly two of the most sincere things on RUclips.
"Real life is imperfect...endearing..." "Life IS good...NOW", I can't tell you how inspiring your work is to me. As Torrie would say, "Rock on!" I love your story telling! So well done.
the amount of effort and time put in this… deserves so many more views than it has received
This film was excellent! A beautiful reminder to be present 🔥
My best friend and I used to go snowboarding on Tuckerman Ravine, a backcountry hike/ski spot on Mount Washington in NH in our early 20s. We returned there after about a decade with completely different lives, and it was so nostalgic because of how it was still the same place, but we were there experiencing it from a different perspective. It’ll always be one of my favorite places. My suggestion for life, read as many books as you can. Go places and see things. And build life long family relationships. Life is beautiful.
so inspiring, one of the most underrated channels I've ever found
Don't understand how your videos haven't blown up yet. Thanks for making another great one!
Faith, watching birds, love for outdoorsports and thinking about your live and the people in it. Thank you for feeling connected with you and people like us that appreciate the importent things in life
Not only are video and story telling skills incredible - your content/your narrative is just impressive ! Way to go, Shaffer - rock on!!
Dude, I have no words. This is a perfect video on this topic
Man this hit me hard. Especially since hammock is my favorite band. Great ending my dude. Never stop creating.
this is a great video with great writing. thoroughly enjoyed it
This is beautifully shot and really made me reflect on the role of nostalgia on my own life.
I really like the idea that we are living in a time someone else will feel nostalgic about. Therefore enjoy the present!
i will be nostalgic for this moment....
Shaffer, your work is the best on this website
Great video man! You got me from the beginning but once the skateboarding aspect came in I subbed! haha it's crazy how the culture connects and reconnects people throughout time :)
There's so many little edit you could miss if you're not paying attention. Always killin it!
Your videos consistently bring tears to my eyes - Incredible craftsmanship!
What a simply fantastic film. So well thought out; it's refreshing to have a reflective short film that is, ironically, new and fresh, and not a generic message. Great job.
First video I've found of yours. Hit hard. Thanks for sharing.
I've been thinking a lot about the past / present / future versions of myself lately, so this video was awesome and helped me link those three people in a healthier way. I struggle to feel nostalgic at all with the absolute sensory bombardment that is the modern world. Yet your videos have a way of calming things down, and bringing out that hopeful/grateful feeling. Thank you, Mr. Polaroid Therapist.
So good :) "Advice is a form of nostalgia" -Mary Schmich
This is the best video and message I’ve ever watched in my life. This is incredible. Congratulations for your work, just keep posting!
Fuck man,
this video is genuinely remarkable -- _you_ are genuinely, remarkably talented.
Your channel is such a diamond in the rough. Thank you for sharing this beautiful thing with us.
2:17 I think I have that same chair. Also nice video.
Hot buttery wowza so worth the anticipating wait. This is a cure for the unsatisfied individuals including myself
the overlap of kids who grew up skating and young adults who enter the film world is astounding but so awesome, myself included. awesome video dude!
Romanticize the present yall✨ Dude this was so Beautiful ❤️
I don't think I've commented on any of your videos yet but I've been a following you for a handful of months and am so glad I came across this channel. This was one of those videos that I instantly hit the replay button to watch again - it was very moving. Too many to list but so many aspects - from the framing of the intro/end sequence, the migration story, the writing (as always), what you show vs what you tell & so much more - that just hit.
this is insanely beautiful and well-crafted.
What a beautiful film! Feels like i warched a whole feature film!
Beautiful storytelling and visuals, this one really hit close to home on many levels. Incredible work!
Dude, just, duuuude this is sooooo amazing, it is amazing
Before you even got to the end of the script, I was like "frick, why don't I romanticize the now??" This one got me.
Beautifully made! Recognized the Gunnison park footy and I got nostalgic
This is, once again, brilliant content. Thanks for the beautiful story and the images that truly feel like memories of past and present.
I literally wanted to make this exact video last summer. I wish I actually acted on it. You articulated my thoughts way better than I could at the time though, excellent video.
There is no chance that Shaffer could create a bad or mediocre video. Like always, I enjoyed this one a lot. Man, I wish just to be in 25% talented like you :) Take care man and can't wait to see next video from you.
Amazing how this video was able to stop me in my tracks, and enjoy the moment i'm in right now. So many cool experiences are coming my way, and this video has made me even more excited. Thanks Shaffer
Another great one in the books. from a nostalgic type, thanks for the reminder
One of the best videos I’ve watched in a long time
Thanks
Beautiful, moving, right.
I really have no other words but wow, thank you
Beautiful fillmaking
I’ve come to see what you’re describing as “insincere nostalgia” as almost a mental or psychological fault in a lot of people, like a coping mechanism or a dopamine valve such as substance abuse. I don’t really know how to explain it. But it’s a way of removing yourself from the present moment and escaping discomfort.
So I found your film moving and relevant and very thought provoking. Nicely done.
Man. Thank you, just thank you. And amazing work as always of course.
So good. Honest. Genuine. Raw. Keep it up
so glad I came across this special and truly unique film.
Another beautifully shot piece.
DUDE! This is your best video yet!!! So many incredible shots, storytelling, sound design, the list just goes on. And that Krook 👌
I would spend so much money trying to film myself skate on super 8 those shots are so good.
oh and fuck that Starbucks in particular.
This is the best video ive seen on youtube for awhile, sooooo goood
❤this was beautifully shot and executed. I loved the meaning and the Words in your narration! So good! Keep going!
Getting better & better & better…….❤
Almost made me drop a tear. Amazing stuff

This is amazing… I get waves of inspiration to think more deeply and creatively after every video I watch of yours-thank you bro ❤️
Masterpiece, as usual. Nothing but love.
So well said. So well put together. You have a great way of taking things we are all thinking but have such a hard time articulating
beautiful video, Love the edit, the sound design was really really well done.
God damn my brother this video is beautiful
Godddamit I love your videos and the thoughts you voice. Thank you, sincerely.
Love this Shaffer. Well done. Truly.
Such a beautiful video! Thank you so much for sharing this. It's always nice to look back, but it's nicer to look and feel the present and enjoy it as it is in every single moment you can; a deep breath and listining to your senses will always be a tool to be here present. Much love
Thank you for this! Amazing storytelling and mood setting!
Goosebumps on my head.
Wow, That was quite something… thank you so much man
Shaffer! This video was well crafted man.
