(2005) As You Were (Broken Drum / Boards of Canada Remix)

[0652colt]

A song you can sit alone and drift with your thoughts.

[gohmifune]

This was excellent. Love you vids.

[wongjp]

@gohmifune Thanks, gohmifune :-)

[antiego1]

No HD? :(

[wongjp]

@antiego1 Unfortunately this was all shot on a 480i handycam from at least five years ago ;(

[antiego1]

@wongjp Shame. Still excellent though.

[wongjp]

@antiego1 Thank you so much :-)

[geographypony]

Great F-ing video. You told a visual story that was simply incredible. I couldn't imagine a better visual representation of BOC's remix.

[wongjp]

@geographypony Thank you, geographypony :-) BOC is my favorite artist duo. Their music is incredible.

[belgoleb]

at 3:00 great transition..

[wongjp]

@belgoleb Glad you liked that :-) After shooting in Japan, I printed out stills of the shots to transition to so that we could match close enough. One of the takes worked out beautifully.

[ElectricEyes16]

thank you for this! loved it :)

[kourampioulis]

probably the first fan made boc vid i ve seen i would like it to be official.

[wongjp]

@kourampioulis Thank you :-) If I were to reshoot and re edit this now, it would be much, much better.

[HmND]

this video needs more publicity, brilliant work.

[wongjp]

@HmND Thank you, HmND

[SpiderGuile]

Enthralling melody, lyrics and sound waves!!!

[viaggiona17]

L'ho sempre detto io che le sorprese sono immagini indelebili...e questo pezzo mi è capitato "nelle orecchie" inaspettatamente al momento giusto.Mi piace un botto!

[wongjp]

@viaggiona17 grazie :)

[elenamidori]

i love this song in this version ... and the videos fits perfect

[wongjp]

@elenamidori Thanks :)

[julyboy66]

beck is awsome , boards of canada know it

[juanman100]

I hear this song yesterday and it blew me away... really amazing remix from one of my favourite bands in the world... the video is really well done too. I love 4:37 when the images start going faster.

[wongjp]

BoC is one of my favorite as well. Thank you :)

[MarchieUSA]

I remember the original work on this. I loved the video then and now, well, it's really good. Your added ideas are really great and makes the video like a short movie story.

[wongjp]

Thank you :)

[PlanetaZeroNet]

Beautiful! Where is the street at min 5.00?

[wongjp]

The street is Chuo-dori, or the main street, that runs through Akihabara (Electric Town). It used to be closed off to pedestrians on the weekends. But in June of 2008, a mass murderer drove a truck into the street and killed several people, prompting the weekend-closures to stop.

[PlanetaZeroNet]

Oh! So sad.

On the video the street has a magic/unreal halo. Thanks!

[MarchieUSA]

This makes the video even a more treasured piece of work then.

[194Hz]

lovely.. i'am in this right now. thank you

[wongjp]

Thank you :)

[shimahero]

good mix

[jcotteri]

nice

[wongjp]

Thanks!

[juninja73]

Wow, beautiful track and great video. It was like a dream, a memory. I've been enjoying a lot of fan made vids for BoC but your was different. Thanks for posting.

[wongjp]

Thank you, juninja. :-)

[dhunninghake]

F'ing brilliant! BoC has been a major musical influence and conduit in my life. I'm glad that your appreciation for them resulted in a truly brilliant video. Favorited!!!!

[wongjp]

Thank you :)

[mobako]

extraordinary video, you sir have a good artistic vision - hell, i bet beck would even be down for making this the official video :P

or at least he should be.

[wongjp]

Thank you, mobako :-)

[JordanHickman99]

Trip Hop mixed with Beck AND a really good video = massive music orgy for my ears, thank you for making this

[wongjp]

It was a great experience. Thank you.

[mleep]

the song has been so personal to me that i was at first scared to see what someone's video interpretation of it would be. all fears were put to rest, very good job - just magic.

[wongjp]

I'm relieved that I didn't do disservice to the song for you :-) Cheers.

[Henrythecamel]

wow.. thats only fukin brilliant

this vid fits the song perfectly, or is it the song fits the vid?

its rare that a music vid seems as important as the song to me.. especially a BoC song

fukin aye.. 5 stars favourite and sub tbh

nice1

[wongjp]

BoC is my favorite, and I've felt many of their songs resonate with my thinking.... So I'm glad that you liked the video so much :-) Thank you.

[darkroomhacker]

This is just beautiful. Well done and definitely thought provoking.

[wongjp]

Thanks :-)

[bastianbaltasarburp]

That has to be, if not the best, at least the most special video I've ever seen on youtube.

"Congratulations" is a hollow word here.

Thank you

[wongjp]

Thanks so much for your comments. I'm glad you took something from the video. :-)

[stuarthossack]

Absolutely fantastic.

Really really well done!

[wongjp]

Thank you so much.

[Emyrsaurus]

your video is stunning, thank you

[wongjp]

Thank you so much for watching :)

[RCD608]

Thank you so much for making this video. Its absolutely beautiful and really connected with me...words almost cant explain the feeling. Again thank you.

[wongjp]

Thank you, RCD608. Your comments inspire me to strive towards a new project.

[RCD608]

Its no problem.

You should, you have alot of talent and vision (for art) it seems.

[lucysd1983]

Great remix, better than the original

[thepoiboy]

there are moments in any persons life, when they are caught off guard by something so profound, unique or just beautiful.. they are caught motionless and just remain in that moment to enjoy it completely.

watching this was like that.. a beautiful moment held..enjoying.

mr. wong you have created something here that is pure art. thank you so much for creating and sharing it.

kudos to you, so many times..

:)

[wongjp]

Thank you so much :) It's been hard worknig on something new, but I keep dabbling. Stay tuned.

[scottburkitt]

100,000 times better than the original.

[polarise]

I agree! I love this song!

[courtstone]

yes...I so agree. but what did expect? BoC remixed it. Boards of Canada is in a league of their own.

[elparrot]

beautiful

[BillNepill]

It was a real journey. Thanks..

[plisb]

A work of art.  You deserve more credit for this.

[kodochaiscool]

This is brilliant! You have a lot of talent ♥

[fragilegirl2424]

Wow. This video is so completely amazing. The song is perfect. 5 stars!!! Have you been recognized for this yet?

[wongjp]

Hi fragilegirl. Unfortunately, outside of viewers, this has not been recognized. I am long overdue on my next project (hint: writer's block) but I strive to make my next video hopefully as interesting :) I'm glad you enjoyed it.

[jcofrtf]

Umm, I think it made a lot of sense, very artistic and the airplane cutaway shot was done really well. =) I enjoy. potassium is #1 export. I feeling.

[morningchronicle]

splendide !!!!!!!!

[w0man1nr3d]

Absolutely amazing. You have much talent. It is an honor to know you and count you among my friends.

[talimar13]

Nicely Done!

[MaiNuhtz]

I agree, the footage only compliments the chill-out song, but I must say I don't anyone else could done a better job creating this. I found hypnotized in the video.

This was beautiful.

[truesks]

this is alrite. i think the song out does the video though.  you needed some reverse footage to go with the riffs

[vism]

awesome

[Steelydan3]

Brilliant and haunting. May I suggest something from the Cinematic Orchestra songbook..?

[ILoveBjork96]

love this <33333

[stephosaurusrex]

props.

[haterllnation]

i think this was done very professionally and well. enjoyed the music as it complimented the video, at least how I viewed it.

[Alphonzen]

Amazing video.

[Gus122000]

that was F***ING AWSOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[redkillroy]

This video was amazing.

Seriously. I loved it.

[wongjp]

Thank you :)

[pinlux]

i've watched this video so many times already and i still love it.

[kilreli]

when i thought the other one couldnt be better, i was proven wrong. i was blown away. it seems to be a nastolgic or reminiscent look back on your experience in japan. This video really did a lot for me, because after i return back to america in august, i know ill have the same feelings. i wish i could do what you do. your creativity just blows me away. is there a main place where i can find your work? you have become an instant favorite. also, i love your choice of music. GREAT work. gambatteyo
