I couldn't agree more, they were my 4 takeaways too. I also felt a strong sense of reassurance seeing Beau struggle with his content considering how good his videos are. It's reassuring seeing him struggle with perfectionism and chasing good content that people want to see.

The irregularity in uploads is what makes it feel so special when you see a new video :)

Beau could even make an entertaining story out of two guys racing to watch paint dry vs grass grow I am sure. You're story telling ability is amazing, and I think you gave some good insights here as to why.

I think that's the point of the video Beau was trying to get across (and what I perceive to be his core philosophy). Just because individually, something may not have much value to others, when put together in an amalgam of videos, it can turn into something great for just about anyone. The adventure is finding value in what is often thrown aside as "junk" and creating new value in it, whether it be junk wood, junk film, or even junk commute time.

Who else would rather watch "junk films" by Beau Miles over most of the other content on youtube??? This guy is absolutely amazing....Cheers bro

He is back with another masterpiece!

He might not have consistancy but it is worth the wait for every single one of these masterpieces

4:50 Absolutely right on the money. “Art of film making is to shoot when you don’t wanna shoot and follow the story even when you know it’s gonna be a hassle.”

For what it’s worth, I’d love to see the outer Hebrides film. Whether it’s just an uncommentated montage of footage or with a half dodgy post commentary, seeing you explore my country and enjoy it means the world. If it’s really that unrealistic to release that footage, you’d better be back to make a proper bloody film once this virus has subsided! Great stories mate, great stories

Beau, I definitely enjoyed watching the collection of partially made films and hearing your thoughts about what went right and wrong in the process. Thanks for showing us your junk!

And Miles to go before I sleep. I enjoyed these little films. I do not expect nor demand perfections, yet all the little films you kindly give us has been very enjoyable and awaken the wonderlust in me. This above was not junk and I am glad you shared them with me. Today I go on a new journey as I get to met my first grandkid. Thanks Beau for all the things you do.

No matter where you take us on your journeys, Beau, we always feel transported. Or, at least, I do. I always feel like you've brought us along on your adventures and it's soothing and eye-opening all at once. We've done none of the paddling or chopping or eating, but we get a huge benefit from you for doing those things. Thank you

BEAU BEAU BEAU!!! Not junk dog! I call your kind of filmmaking "personal documentary" or "documentary poems" or "essays" or "portraits"- I dig it man - and the form on these short funky films? They have no form but the form you give it. AND THANKS for putting my KZread comment in your book- it made my day- (I had the book for weeks before someone pointed it out that I was in youR book.I LOVE the idea of backyard adventures more than ever. Cheers, Steve AKA The Talking Fly.

“They’re all good points, Mitch.” 😂😂 love the critique of your filmmaking. Definitely not a waste of time for me. Talk to the bloody camera.

His "junk films" are still suuuper good. I can tell you are a perfectionist about your work Beau because even your worst work is still amazing.

Love it when Beau posts a vid. Best part of the month.

Beau, I currently am stuck in my bed with Covid. Even when I’m not feeling like death your ability to let me escape is a gift I could never repay. Your an inspiration, thousands of miles away in the USA even in your “failed” films. From the core of my being. Thank you for this 15 min of respite.

This was a fascinating insight into your filming/editing process. Fantastic stuff! 👍

This is lovely. You’re very inspiring, Beau

This is amazing. Beau going full circle with his love for junk, creating something out of his own junk. Man, you truly are one of the most underrated filmmakers of youtube.

I cannot express the level of joy that seeing this new video brought me. Cheers!

The amount of inspiration and joy that I got from watching and hearing those stories can only be summed up but saying Thank you!

Beau, every time you upload a film, I am always incredibly inspired, thank you for sharing yourself and your art

As always beautiful job Beau!!!!!

Thanks for sharing this beau, it was great.

Thank you for sharing these Beau.

That WAS brilliant Beau, well done!

Beau, even these films leave me wanting more from each of them. Somehow I found your channel a year or so ago and have enjoyed everything you have posted. Please keep posting.

As always , I feel so uplifted and have humongous love for this content. To have a teacher like you is such a joy.

Always so excited when a new Beau Miles video drops. This was definitely worth the upload as you say

Absolutely awesome mate. Always look forward when you upload.

Brilliant, always get excited to see a new Beau upload.

Beau, I freaking love everything you do. Even these junk films have inspired me to do more. Thank you for sharing who you are. Much love.

It's so cool to see a kind of behind the scenes and learn about your creative process. And great idea to put these movies together like this. The way you talk inbetween them and you giving your thoughts behind these scrapped projects, makes this just as inspirational and fun as your other films. Cheers from Denmark

Your videos are like therapy Beau! Thank you for the insights!

Great video Beau. Glad you put it out there.

These were amazing. I would need proud of I made any of them! I love your discussion about the process and what you see as need for improvement. Thanks for the post!

Love your rawness Beau.Anything you make is interesting!We want more!

Thanks so much for sharing this beau!!!

Great stuff Beau. Always look forward to your films. Cheers.

Aw man I'm so happy , just got back from working a festival and this pinged on my phone and I literally jumped up and down. Love you Beau !

Beau, you can and did end on that. Great work. Always a great experience. Thank you for taking the time to upload this.

I'm just happy that you uploaded again. I always drop everything else and watch your videos they are very inspiring. Thank you so much for making them :D

Introspection at its best, brilliant Beau, many thanks

You upload in the moments of my life where I need to reflect. Thanks for the content you are content with!

It takes a lot of courage to show people your failures. I always love it when creators are willing to explore that side of their work in an open and honest way.

Always a pleasure looking at your videos and hearing your words of wisdom. Thanks for the lessons and taking us along on your adventures

These are so entertaining, and I love that you’re breaking them down. Thanks for sharing this!

That was brilliant Beau. Well done.

Yay, i really needed a Beau fix today! Thank you, dear Sir. You are incredible! ❤️

Every one of your films has inspired me, entertained me, made me look at my life, and how I look at life in general. Your students are so lucky and they probably don’t even realise it yet, but they will in time! Thank you so much.

Love your stuff Beau!

Yes Beau, This was brilliant!! Loved watching your films....even the junk film!!! The scenery is amazing!!

I'd love to see the none talking film of the paddle around scotland just for the images. i think half your movies are the back to basic level of vidiography and taking the landscaped in for a persons view and now some ultra high quality nautre programs that focus on the little details or the extrames or the landscape, yours is from the human eye with a simplistically and charming attitude. I love your videos i could watch them all day, naratored in post or live emotional conversations with the camera. Keep up the great work and one mans junk is another mans tresure!

love this channel so much. That pumpkin idea has lots of potential, would be so cool to see you attempt it again if you want to

I loved this junk compilation and your perspective on old projects, good on you mate! 😊

The legend is back. Love you Beau

You are the only person on youtube that i get genuinely excited for when there is a new video out.

Great to hear from you, Beau. Hope all is well in your world. Appreciate all of these videos that you share! They've inspired a lot of good things in my own life. Cheers from Portland, Oregon, USA.

Thanks so much Beau. I really love your work. Your empathetic, easeful approach to excellence is inspiring, comforting and fabulous.

Cheers Beau, as an Outdoor Ed teacher for too many years, these were great, and don’t underestimate the power of you junk. Your words in the iPhone film put words to my experience when I take my wonderful students on camp. Splendid!!

Love your honesty mate. Bloody refreshing.

Amazing videos Beau keep posting

Good to see you back Beau.

Wonderful as always! This the the only channel I'm subscribed to (out of over 100) that I have notifications switched on for. ❤️

You just made a GREAT upload matey! Great work! So clever.. Taddaaaaaa

I really like that each one of these 'junk films' taught you a lesson and then you've shared that value with us, talking about the background behind the films and how you would have created them differently.

I learned so much from this one, Beau. I always take away lessons or maybe just a new catchphrase from your films, yet during this film I caught myself truly enjoying the fact that you are explaining how you messed up and how you would fix it. Learning from mistakes, especially while filmmaking, is pivotal. I’m grateful to be a fan of yours, Beau! Cheers from Bellingham, Washington. Also I love the book, man! 1/4 through it, addicted.

We find value in your junk Beau, it's more inspiring, meaningful, and thought provoking than anything else i watch on youtube, and probably streaming services as well, as sad truth, so please keep these coming.

Man it is a joy whenever you upload Beau. It is not so much about the quality of the films, or at times the storytelling, it is the passing on of a worldview that looks for a story in everything. It inspires me to look for value in even the most mundane parts of life, a lesson all too important during Quarantine. Thanks for the call back to seeing life as a story thread to be followed.

What a great story teller, fascinating person and life, hope there is plenty more to come

That was lovely. Thanks Beau.

I always absolutely love a peek into anyone's creative process and especially the funky little bits of stuff that never get shown - figuring how why something DIDN'T work is just as good if not better than seeing why something DID work. You should do this with "junk" or unfinished crafty projects as well!

I really like this kind of meta-level of analysing your own films, it's something you wouldn't often see

Back again. It's beautiful to see how you can take stories that deserved to be told and give them their little spotlight, even though they weren't quite right. It kind of shows that everything has purpose, even if it doesn't fulfill its intended purpose.

That was brilliant Beau, great job!
