Thank you all for checking this short piece out. It means a lot!
Keep an eye out for the Behind the Scenes film which will go live next Monday (9th)!
Don't do it. Kills all the magic of your work.
I love doing it
@@JeffBodeanCinemaIt doesn’t have to destroy anything precious, irreducible, sacred to show the ways creativity was formulated into medium. The creativity itself remains a mystery, pristine and indestructible. For me this is the meaning of this film. Many young women and girls are forced mostly be men sexually. If all of them suddenly knew they were indestructible, the world would change for the better in an instant. Here’s to another step towards that instant 🥂
Captivating story and beautiful shots!
Thanks a lot mate! Cant wait to work on our project!
I almost sold my BMPCC6K and now I am keeping it and I thank you for that! A good film does not entirely rely on an expensive cinema camera. If you know how to use your tool, regardless the lack of certain specs and low selling price, you can make a beautiful story, a film, an art! Thank you for this beautiful short!
Thanks a lot Alexander. And I couldn’t agree more! This camera is capable of so much. The color science and DR is amazing! Go out and shoot some dope stuff with it :-)
Oh Man, you've made me cry.
For me, father of two young girls, the story of Karen is shocking and inspiring at the same time. I can't imagine what she's been through but she found her peace and new aim. That is so good and I'm so happy about that even that I don't know her personaly.
I am writing this because it is your merit that the story is so touching and shows the heroine's drama. A well-written script, which is a huge and important part of our work.
The pictures are great, they show the technical aspect of slackline and its difficulty. In addition, it shows this sport from every perspective, not just the final over the precipice.
the sound also does a great job! the sounds of climbing carabiners, Karen's very clear voice and sensationally selected music build the atmosphere of the whole movie.
HUGE CONGRATULATIONS!
This means so much to me Jakub. Honestly, you are the kinds of people I’d love to reach. Thanks SO much for your words
A touching story it is. Great job for serving it so well with great filmmaking.
Thanks a lot Pat! Appreciate it
Great work Sjoerd. 'My Meditation' is captivating, moving, and inspiring. And in reference to the title - it is true filmmaking; It's so refreshing when the technical tool (the BMPCC 6k Pro in this instance) is not upstaging the subject. I truly felt immersed in the story and felt that it came first here. Karen is the hero, and her journey and being is healing to so many people. Looking forward to seeing more of your work.
Your comment absolutely touches my heart. This is why I do what I do. Thank you SO much for letting me know what you think.
Everything about this video was amazing, this is what many filmmakers strive to do.
Thanks a lot Christiann
I absolutely loved it!

This short film was very captivating for me, and the story behind it heart-warming. I commend Karen for being able to get through her trauma, and that she shares her story to help other women. Thanks so much for sharing this wonderful film.

I found your channel because of a Davinci Resolve tutorial... I stopped by your channel to find more and then I watched your short documentary.
What an amazing story, She is a very strong young lady and you created a very powerful story about her journey. Very impressive, great job.
Thanks a lot man. It means a lot you take the time to dive deeper into my channel. Im working out more videos on Davinci, so make sure to stay connected
you nailed it darling 💓💕💕
Amazing shots and wonderful Colors ❤️🥰
Cheers man

Beautifull way to tell her story, from the light 🌅
indeed! Im really glad I could tell my story this way and Sjoerd made such a beautiful film out of it!
Thanks a lot man! Such a good feeling to read this. Cheers!
@Karen de Boer @Sjoerd Wess de boer thanks to you both for sharing such an emotional and inspiring piece. Saludos!
Dang! wat een story! Heel cool gemaakt man, wat een opening shot ook! Leuk om te zien dat je kanaal aan het groeien is, helemaal verdiend! eerste beetjes zijn het moeilijkst, lekker bezig man ga zo door je hebt talent. Elke keer als ik werk van je zie, realiseer ik me toch even wat een kwaliteit die BMPCC kan leveren, prachtig man misschien toch maar eens switchen!
Thanks Rick! Mega tof om dit van je te horen. Het was even stil op het kanaal, maar wil alles vanaf nu weer oppakken :-). En indd, die BMPCC is fenomenaal!
Really good! Well done mate
cheers man!
Bravo, Sjoerd!
Thanks a lot man!
wonderful work
Thansk a lot my friend!
well put together!
Thanks man!
Ouhaaaaaaaaa Love it , The story , the image , the sound design. Dope work man . From france lots of good vibes for you
Gregory! Thank you so much my friend. These words are amazing! Thanks!
Prachtig, Sjoerd.
Thanks Wouter!✌🏼
Stunned bro
Thanks brother! Glad you liked it!
Dude, those morning shots!!! Fantastic
Luckily the two times 3am wakeup call worked out haha
Thanks mate!🙏
@@SjoerdWess That's the best, when the hard work pays off :)
Absolutely
Beautifully done
Cheers!
5fth time I have seen this = ) really beautiful story and photography
Thank you for the wonderful work!
I also wanted to make a movie inspired by you.
Thank you again.
This is such a beautiful film Sjoerd, visually and story wise. I love your music choice and the way you allowed her story, life and exquisite imagery to draw us in :D
Man! That is a huge compliment! One I will always bring along. Cheers man.
@@SjoerdWess Well deserved... it is a beautiful film and a lovely experience to watch! (I'm getting a BMPCC6K Pro this week so it's inspiring to see what can be achieved :D ) Enjoy the day!
That camera is capable of anything you throw at it. Amazing, really. You’ll love it!
@@SjoerdWess yay :D ... it kinda looks that way hehe... thanks!
🙏🙏
Hyped
Yea bruh!!
As an editor, journalist and photo-journalist i must say: excellent 👏👏👏👏👏👏
Thanks so much!
@@SjoerdWess im just being honest - thats my journalist opinion...
@@SjoerdWess ill write an article on the movie - not the movie per se, but the process - i think one can make a documentary with an phone, not everyone needs (or can afford) a cine-camera setup... Also, i think your movie has an really strong message, and does make people think - all wrapped in under 5 minutes... Great!
@@omniart5714 Epic! Share it when it's done please!
Wow! This was absolutely amazing from start to finish. I can't wait to get my BMPCC 6K Pro and bring my film dreams to life!
Sounds good! You’ll love it!
@@SjoerdWess Looking forward to it! Thank you for the response 😁
wow what a story
Its heavy, isn't it..
A beautiful short, thanks for registry this in film.
Pedro, thank YOU for taking the time and watching it. I appreciate it!
@@SjoerdWess its a pleasure see your content. Please continue making vids and shorts, I love these kind of short docs.
Grad you bring this up. This is exactly what I would love to be doing.. Making these short videos is so fullfilling
Amazing documentary bro...
Thanks brother!🙏🙏
Wowww it was beautiful! 😍 🙌
Thanks a lotttt man!
@@SjoerdWess perfect compositions, beautiful scenery, crisp audio, great natural lighting and interesting/cool/sad/inspiring story. I hope yt pics up this video!
@ This is amazing to hear man. Wow. And yes, I hope this video gets picked up to encourage people to speak freely about this topic.
Fantastisch eindresultaat! Alles klopt, prachtige beelden, super goed geluid, goede geluidskeuze en final edit. Dit smaakt naar meer!
Super tof dit Joris. Thanks man. 🙏🙏
@@SjoerdWess Geen probleem! Ik ben zelf wel een groot fan van de beeldkwaliteit van Black Magic ook....ik film zelf met Panasonic nog maar wil, ivm Canon EF glas, uiteindelijk wel upgraden naar de BMPCC 6K. Gebruik je naast Artlist ook nog andere stock websites voor je muziek/soundbites?
Zeker doen. Kan het alleen maar aanbevelen! Ik gebruik ook Audiio, hele fijne library!
@@SjoerdWess Goed om te horen Sjoerd! Ik zal Audiio ook ff checken zo.
WOW
Thanks dude!
Congrats on your mention on Blackmagic Design's current home page.
Thanks a lot mate!
👏🏾
🙏🙏🙏
Fantastic film and story. I only wish that last shot was her completing the walk across. Beautiful nonetheless!
Jason! Thanks a lot, man! Would be cool, but that takes like 4 minutes on its own, haha :-)
@@SjoerdWess Not the whole clip, just a few frames... like her stepping off... as though completing the journey.
But, totally not needed as it's great just the way it is.
@@jasonm.hanrahan3769 I see! That would be cool. Good to think about for next film! Thanks buddy!
I dont know why I hadn't already subscribed...FIXED! You are very good!!!
Score! Thanks a lot mate! Glad to have you here!
Beautiful film..very talented as cinematographer. Do you have behind the scenes or breakdown too?
Thanks dude! Yep, BTS is in the description, the link!
🥺🙏🏽🖤✊🏽💪🏽
Thank you❤️
What a beautiful piece of work. Have you tried Kriya Yoga?
Thanks a lot man! Nope! Ill search online :-)
Great..
Thanks dude!
Beautifully shot, edited and presented! Well done sir! Liked and Subbed! How does one enter a short film to a contest? I've always wanted to submit one, but haven't even began to explore it. Where would I start? Cheers!
Hey man! Thanks a lot.
Check filmfreeway.. make sure to do research as there is a lottttt of weird maffia shit going on when it comes to festivals!
Sjoerd, can you share what mic you used to record the narration? Thanks in advance.
Thanks! Its the Shure SM7B
Was the noise added intentionally or...? Just curious....
It was. I love it
Link to bts plz

Came here expecting to hear some music you have made or produced- since you are overly critical of others music.
I watched this instead and let me say- I definitely am not impressed- at all, I’ll take a look at your other stuff but if it’s like this I don’t expect much
Hahahah, what a pessimistic guy you are. I dont even care about your comments no more
