I always thought my dreams would lead to happiness

Film LUT + free film assets - (andrewhenrypaul.gumroad.com/l...)
a cinematic short film on happiness - how do you live a happy life? the cinematography plus the story telling share a compelling and cinematic story on how to live a happy life.
I made this video to share my little journey on happiness, which I find to be a funny thing. Somedays I wake up happy, other days it seems like I can't find it anywhere - so I decided to make a video about it. Enjoy friends :)
I am a video creator committed to bringing cinematography like visuals whilst sharing life lessons ive learned. If you enjoy this please subscribe, like and comment :)

    I had to watch the video twice, the first time I almost didn't listen because I was so focused on your editing style, composition, colors, selected angles... Loved the cuts before finishing a sentence, really kept me on the hook. Overall I really really liked your video and I'm looking forward to more! The video looks like a lot of work, how long did it take you to film and edit it? In terms of content, I like your worldview/philosophy and comparisons from nature, but unfortunately I can only partly agree with them. I believe that the question of "meaning of one's life/finding happiness" is automatically linked to the following questions: Who Am I? Where do I come from? Where Am I Going? Self-given meaning rarely lasts a lifetime and is subjective, not objective. What came before me and what comes after me determines whether I have dedicated my life to the right meaning. Just my two cents : ) Greetings from Germany

    Thank you man I appreciate it. My grain process has been a long road - what I find works best is to not just do a one setting fits all - with tighter shots more grain works in your favor - in wider shots 24m - 35m less grain and smaller is best as it can start to just make the video look like bad quality.
