@janar17 Hey! For your other question I use a Canon 500D soon to be 5D MK II and no stabilizing rig or glidecam just controlled breathing and practice. I didn't think I was that smooth.
People need to stop being so sensitive to stupid subjects. This was a video to demonstrate artistic capabilities. Plus, did any one of the people who complained or flagged consider that the message says NOT to smoke? You know. Since all the smoking scenes are reversed, including the creation of the cigarette?
this is just about aesthetics to me. beautifully shot. every angle as a still makes a beautiful picture, and that's the thing i love watching most. very well done, as always, levi!
i think we're all too cautious about "what effect _____ will have on the kids". there's more going on with people that smoke then just trying to "look cool". people are too sensitive about these things, you make smoking attractive in making it a rebellion, and it's made a rebellion when it's prohibited from art/media. kids know the health risks, they (mostly) understand how media works, stop trying to shelter them! THAT's harmful!
but very good photography, timing, cropping and editing! very nice work, you're actually making me consider going to auckland for uni, even though im not a big fan of that city!

@Junoluvsu this is only how I interpreted it, but at the end she looks at her wrist, instead of smoking. Those are friendship/promise bracelet's. I wear quite a few myself actually, and perhaps the promise was not to smoke? (ex it being unhealthy, or maybe someone not wanting you to damage your body or get sick?)
Im not really sure. all i know is that i really liked this video. :)
@invisiblecrayon she is me, by the way. i don't know what levi meant by it, but i certainly didn't look at my friendship bracelet and promise my best friend in my head that i wouldn't smoke. but who knows.
I can't figure out whether this is just a glamorization of smoking weed or whatever that is or is supposed to imply that she was only considering it but didn't (hence the rewinding of the video). Well-shot, but if the intention was the first...I highly dislike this vid.
If it was real cigarettes it may have worked. But Juno, rollies.... reallyyy..... i aint kissing you no more! Go and grab a box of lucky strikes, then ill kiss you.
I think what some people dont realise is that even if you guys flag the video.
Kids are somehow going to watch it anyway, be it through making a new account, going on their parents (like my kid...) and simply going to their friends house to watch it.
It is art, and to "protect" the younger kids, this video has been flagged as over 18's only! So I see no problem. And I personally hate smoking, so thats a lot coming from me
All of you need to calm down. I don't necessarily think there's that much of an issue with smoking as long as people don't do it within a closer proximity to other people. Just about all of us are going to end up with cancer at some point anyway, so using that point is a bit redundant now. I don't smoke, I most likely never will, and I'm not in any way promoting it, but you're entirely missing the point in this. It's meant to be artistic.
guys, calm the fuck down. he's not necessarily promoting smoking. he's just visually portraying it into a creative perspective. so stfu and enjoy his work.
I really love this video. Smoking has become such a huge contraversial part of culture all over the world and this really makes you think.....its open ended I think because everyone needs to make their own choices and opinions about it and take away from it what you will.
I loved the way this was shot and cut, as I do with pretty much all of your videos. However, I can't help but disagree with most of these comments, sure, it made smoking look quite cool but personally it didn't make me want to go and have a cigarette so you can't be held responsible for other's actions. Whatever, I loved the video nonetheless!
idt he was glamorizing smoking.. even if he was there's no need to get all pissy about it. i don't smoke either and im not saying its a good thing but people smoke, get over it.
Nice job. Good artistic expression, but if you put some green herb in your rolling paper instead, you'll be happy with life instead of looking down at the end.
Cannabis - Smoke for a More Positive & Healthy Life
As far as art, this was amazing. As far as the message, I just hate to see smoking glamourized. Maybe that wasn't your intention, but a lot of people look up to you/juno and one of the saddest things, in my opinion, is a kid killing their lungs in an attempt to look "cool."
I mean, people can smoke, go ahead. It's just a possible negative influence that I'm afraid of.
at the end she doesnt have the ciggie anymore, so it was just a craving? thats what i thought anyways. i hate how ppl smoke in public spaces, and especially where u filmed it ppl take over the lawn with it, yuck
