  • After all these years this is still my favorite video on YouTube.

  • Don't pay attention to any of your mates who criticise what you are doing, because what you are doing is expressing yourself and your true character, and that should never be denied. Moreover, the way you are expressing yourself is beautiful, and you clearly have a massive talent for film making. Your voice is also perfect for filmography. So, ignore your ignorrant mates, keep doing what you are doing, and be what you want to be.

  • Just rewatched this thanks to Ben. I remember now how much I love this video :D

  • I just watched this for the first time because Benji linked it. I love it. You are a wonderful person.

  • After about a year since I last watched it,i watched it again. i feel better for watching it again.

  • What a brilliant film! You explain the dilemma of uploading videos to YouTube so precisely. I've been away from YouTube for over two years and, although the intention is to begin posting videos again, it is taking more courage than I thought, for exactly the reasons you talk about.

    For me, I think the dilemma will always be there, but this excellent video is edging me towards a decision: I upload them for me, and for the chance to meet new and exciting friends. Like you! :)

  • great job thanks!

  • Beautiful video! Gorgeously shot, directed, edited, written. The voice-over is brilliant, and you perfectly explain the entire point to making art. Artists make art because it is what they love doing, what they live for, something they would die if they stopped doing, a reason for existence. Art for the sake of making art and self-expression. It isn't for the childish, mindless fools on YouTube who only watch parody, and have no reason to live other than put down anyone else.

    Faved, subbed.

  • lmao why the fuck was this in my favorites?

  • 84,831 IDIOTS

  • That's exactly why I don't post videos on internet.

    People always says to me that I live in the "never care for what they do or what they say" way..

    but that's not true..

    I'm so scared about what they say or think about me..

    and I think that it will be like this 'till I will meet someone else that lives in the "nothing else matter" way.

    You are amazing. seriously..

    Maybe you think you do stupid videos.

    But those videos help me a lot.

    Attention: My english is orrible!

    cheers

  • you have to have thick skin on youtube, especially if you have videos posted, I stopped a long time ago replying to ignorant people and now I just let everyone else chew them a new ass,lol it's for the love of filming and what drives us the most. Keep posting my friend, never give up your dream!! Dont forget.. comments are like assholes, everyone has them! lmao

  • come sleep on my floor please =]

  • haha, i still can&TBPSQUOt believe that he put a nos system in a rented vette. i only wish that i could have been there to see that race.

  • I have this problem too. But hell is their destiny.

  • Dude, that was awesome. I can relate so much. I've just started on Youtube and I've already had some nasty comments from people I know in real life. But like this video says, I'm doing this for me, not them.

    This video is awesome! Well done dude.

  • best video ive seen on youtube

    seriously

    really great

  • Ian/I found your "shoot" location,Farleys Mount,

    4.3 miles West of Winchester.A monument to a horse which is apparently buried beneath.mmm.interesting.Keep up the Vids. DJ.

  • Ohhh <333333

  • Great video Sir!  Very well done.

  • Comment removed

  • wow, amazing.

  • congrats on the feature, this one's a keeper

  • that pause at 1:00 was a nice dramatic effect, i noticed.

  • This is so inspirational.

    I am one of those people who has had problems with other people when uploading videos onto youtube. You are right, it doesn't matter at the end of the day because you are doing it for youself. Illegitimi non carborundum, translates as "don't let the bastards grind you down"

  • Youre not serious,right?

  • This is so good.

  • great hiking lol

  • Hehe, a kindred spirit. Beautifully shot, and very evocative transitional effects. Cool music too. good job.

  • This viedo is actually good...nice pieace of work with cinematography

  • Thank you ^__^

  • Oh, I love this. It's beautiful.

    Way to stick up for doing what you do.

  • Where do these gatherings take place? That you were talking about.

  • All over the place :) just search "gathering2 on youtube,l they have happened in london, glasgow, dublin, manchester, a couple of places in america, they prety much happen monthly here in the uk :) the next one is in sheffield on the 13th of december.

  • woah... deep man

    :P

  • Ron Weasley!!!??? What are you doing here?! Get back to Hogwarts!!!

  • lolz

  • Sorry, but I reckon you wet the bed dude :)

  • Great video :)

  • Monument to a racehorse that saved its owners life, if I remember right, by making an incredible leap over some unexpected chasm. No idea what the commentary says as my wife has tuned up the TV too loud for me to hear the vid, so that she can watch 'Strictly Come Dancing'!

  • Search for 'Beware Chalk Pit'.

    Nice video, in a belly-button-inspection kind of a way. What's weird about posting videos to YouTube- there are billions of the suckers. Sounds to me like your friends are living in the 20th century. Also, not all that friendly. Still. Chin up, and thanks for sharing :)

  • awesome/ brilliant video

  • Yes, I agree with bikerblack22. Don't let anyone get you down-- you are an interesting person and a lot of people obviously value your videos and opinions (me included) so tell the naysayers to stick it (or some other such phrase). Love from the states, anyway.

  • Yep. It is said that 'Nobody can get you down without your consent'. So withold consent huh?

  • Well said dude don't let anyone change you and good on you for the video nice work keep it up

  • Nice use of different video transitions, gotta love varietyy...

  • That is a brilliant video dude im faving it

  • A very good video with a good message.

    Fantastic.

  • /cry

  • Cool video dude. Dont let the Ba#'*rds grind you down!

  • Nice little film of the walk up to Farley's Mount in Hampshire. Shame about the commentary.

  • Farley Mount

  • Good job with this video, if you like doing videos then don't let people bring you down.

  • i dont get it but hay if any one told me to not go on you tube id tell em to get bent and die

    but yes nice vid

  • i wish id seen this video before i deleted my account :(

  • nice video-great scenery and music.Keep on!

  • really good video and nice message well done x

  • What a cool video. People do get funny about stuff like this because they think that sharing yourself online and meeting people in places like Youtube isn't as real or 'valid' as the 'real life' alternative would be. I have now subbed to you and look forward to seeing more stuff like this.

  • nice video

  • Beautiful :]

  • Nice vid good luck with any work you have to do

  • seriously love this video dude.

  • Thank you very much davey.P.S you were in my dream last night lol you broke into my car but didnt steal anytjhing :s it was very strange.

  • This is a sobering reminder to those youtube celebs (excluding the normal, non arrogant ones) who think they are some kind of Royalty lol well guess what ! its embarrassing what you do and people take the piss out of you guys. This is why i still wont make vids lol , too many real life friends will remind me for the rest of my life.

  • great video total understand the message keep doin what your doin mate

  • Nice video fella.

  • Good for you. I can't stand it when people take the mick out of people's interests. Just continue with what makes you happy.

  • Amazing video

    greating editing

    meaningful message

    I loved this video

  • Ignore those who put you down, you have the nerve to do it so do it. I found your video gave me a sense of peace, I loved it. Bravo !!!

  • I found this vid through ED yet I think "well done, good on ya". Does that make my last sentence an oxymoron?

  • Very nice, the way you have presented, the rerecording behind the video are all good.Keep it.

  • ...people say and so you arent jsut doing this for yourself are you?

    hey like the others said... if you enjoy it then great. I just think your approach is way too emotional for this type of thing..

  • Dude alot of people have said this.

    The point of this video is to encourage people who encounter the same problem not to delete their accounts because they obviously enjoy doing it, otherwise they wouldn't be here.

    Me adding that at the end of the video, was me saying "I don't care and you shouldn't either" to these people.

  • Directors always emphasis emotions, it gives the message a back bone. And plus no one can tell how sad someone else feels about anything

  • ok im not into slagging off stuff with no real reason, i just have a few questions...

    if your doing this wholy for yourself, why do you share it with the world? i mean its very clever to try to seperate yourself from the comments and reviews of others becasue i suppose that way you are "immune" to negative feedback, but at the end of the day you did post it on a website thats accessed from around the world.

    also, if you feel the need to say what you did on here then you must value what...

  • *APPLAUD*

  • If your friends deny you the freedom of artistic expression, then they aren't worthy of the term. This film is very nicely shot, you have a good eye for cinematic composition, and the sound track is complimentary to the emotionally tender register of the piece. Keep it up iianardo you've got talent. I bet your mates would call Kubric weird aswell. Lets see if they're laughing at you when you're working for the BBC, or directing feature films.

  • balthazaa took the words right out of my head. Exactly what I was going to say. This is very nicely shot in a great location (lovely scenery) and well edited to give it a good composition. When you become a film director just let your friends know. Hitchcock and Speilberg would have ignored such critiscism. You should too. Well done.

  • *applauds*

  • Nice video. Do it, if it makes you happy!

  • When two worlds collide is an Iron Maiden song off the album 'Virtual XI'

  • *APPLAUD*

  • *applauds*

  • you are the one who is makeing a differance,so go for it, The only person who can make the right choices is your self

  • i been there its by my aunties is about a hourse falling into a chalk pit

  • Don't listen to others who have obviously problems themselves. Be yourself, find out who you are as an individual. Many videos come in different designs, it's artwork and you shouldn't be put down for expressing yourself. If you want to see a real crap video that i shot go to the Lost competition videos for coldplay and look at ' Lost Competition ( Victoria Wiltshire ). No one has made a comment on it, because i'd tell them where to go! However, i know it's rubbish. Ignore bullies. Good luck.

  • I suggest you ask your uni tutor how to get rid of the massive black border. It looks shit.

  • lol it wasnt there until youtube introduced this silly widescreen thingy :(

  • yeah, just noticed it's on every video. oops

  • YouTube recently went widescreen, and as a result all videos that were uploaded beforehand are still in 4:3, so are surrounded in ugly black. It's bollocks :/

  • its like a parody of a pretentious advert(you know the kind)

    ps. before someone says "why watch it if you dont like it" because i didnt know what to expect and it kept appearing on 'featured videos' or something like that

  • Hey I'm pretty sure I'm real. This is lovely. If you're weird for actively planning and creating films like this how weird am I for simply viewing ? Not at all :)

    Ignore the trolls. There are a lot of ugly souls in here mostly hanging out in beautiful places just spewing their bile all over the place. Why ? Maybe the beauty chips away at them and makes them hurt. It is strange. But of no consequence to you.

  • This is such a great little video. Great use of composition and music. Well done and keep it up :-)

  • I have a pd 170 but its getting a bit knackered now and the colours have gone insane! great camera though.

  • Wonderful, I like it a lot!!!! Keep up the good work and follow your dreams.

    The people who condem you have no life and no dreams.

  • great job ian :] congrats on the feature. wonderful video

  • I love your narration (the voice).

    I haven't seen a video like that on YouTube for a long time.

    Great work mate..

  • dude cool video were is that building you went to id like to get married there

  • admire you for not givin in. good vid well done

  • What a lovely film, very well produced, would you mind me asking what camera you used..

    Well done.

    Gary

  • Says in the description:

    Filmed with : Sony Pd170

    Edited with : Sony Vegas

  • very good well done m8 xx

  • good vid dont listen to the lamers that put yuu downbecause yuur already the better man at that point

  • Why do people feel the need to rip on artistic expression? No one ever tells a painter "get on with your life", movies are art and youtube allows the distribution of small movies to the entire world. What have you people ever done that was creative or interesting? I make music, this man makes movies, and we're both artists. If you don't like it just clam up and go sit in a small box somewhere so nobody else will "disturb" you.

  • I loved this video...it was peaceful and beautiful...MORE! Raven

  • Very good... Well done.

  • your videos are amazing! well done and its pretty cool x

  • Wow!! Being on youtube changes your life!! Fucking hell I could be on youtube within 40mins but I dont think its gonna change my fukin life?? How can youtube possibley change your life?? Its a fuckin website ladd try gettin a hobby like bikeing or skateboarding or summit ladd

  • Are you an imbecile! His hobby is making movies you fool, didnt that count as a hobby in the 40s 'lad' you 80 year old idiot.

  • Video-making IS a hobby, fucktard. And why don't YOU find one, instead of sitting at your computer posting shit comments? At least by making videos he's doing something constructive.

  • -Cough- Bo Burnham -cough- shit load of money -cough-

  • Nice scenes of the glorious Hampshire countryside. The monument is at Farley Mount near Winchester and commemorates an accident to a race horse! Just thought you'd like to know. I think the video is rather good.

  • I read the description. lol you let bitches rip on you; you gotta be quicker with the shit-talk right back, or at least more witty. I do fucking nerdy things too but I don't get teased about it, just be quicker than they are - posting another video does jack!

  • Exellent video it's nice to know some in the world can still think

  • Well said

  • Very nice view when you were standing in that building or something. Cool.

  • was this vidio done on your weekend off work!?

  • m8 you thinking way too much into it.. i dunno why u care what they think.. if they take the piss say fuck off and be done with it.

  • If it's so crap, why did you waste your time watching it, and take even more time to criticise it. So practice what you preach. "GET A LYF"... and learn to spell.

  • If you are a cameraman of 40 years, then you should understand the young in spirit and experience. You were once there too.

  • Thats was the fukin weirdest video I have ever saw!!! Is he all normal in the head or wot i mean his only m8 is youtube!!!!

  • Well, if there's anyone here who isn't normal in the head, it's you. Firstly you can't spell and secondly you think someone can be friends with a website. That's just strange.

    As a friend of the guy in the video I'm telling you personally, on his behalf, to fuck right off. :)

  • where is that place?

  • cool video :)

    i had the same problem i just told them to get over it :)

    i did a load of vlogging stuff on here but ended up deleting it because my friends found my page...

    and youtube is a great way to meet new people maybe ur mates should give it a try

    (thumbs up)

    x x x

  • Just remember the people who put you down and tell you that you need to get a life gave up on their own dreams long ago, that's why they're being so negative keep doing what you do because there will always be someone out there who enjoys your work.

  • You  continue I am a film cameraman keep the goodwork up it does not matter what the other people think..good stuff ...Mike C

  • go QQ

  • Obviously you've got nothing better to do!!!and can't spell(nice life)

  • Each to his own! you do what you like & good luck, better than bombing or shooting people!!

    Nice camera work(try some filters!)

  • Hmmmm, this is interesting.

  • i just watched this again and read the comments below, dont let these people's comments get to you, they are just the typical human being, having no touch with emotion and living ignorant lives

  • Maybe I'll film myself dropping a pencil, add some classical music to it and talk about how upsetting it was and how I refuse to ever stop holding pencils no matter how afraid I get.

  • ... but take away the music ...

  • The promotion of surfing whether it be on a sofa or the web has begun to reach a zenith as eluded to here in this short master peace =) a call to all Youtube Knights of the Edit, mount your minimals and polish your codecs.

  • WOW, I loved this video. After watching it I felt very relaxed and it inspired my to go shoot my own videos. Thanks

  • that comment i just posted was meant to be a response to madstef's spammed video below it didnt seem to work :s

  • To the excitement junkies who have left disparaging remarks here: far from being 'sickenningly sentimental' (really? you could have fooled me) or boring, this is a beautifully shot video, expressing the random thoughts of an obviously intelligent young man set to great music. I could think of worse examples of spending 2 minutes of my life (including reading some of the comments below).

  • good on you!!!!

    plus side note...if you mates don't support what you do (eventhough it's your choice not their's)are they really true mates???

    keep posting :D

  • Ah well, I'm hoping to studie BTEC Film and Television at "Southdowns Colledge" in 2009, and I thought this video was great =P So, keep up the good work "Iianardo". I'll keep looking out for new videos \m/

  • sorry but this videos soooooooooooo boring!

  • its all so youtube obsessed though isnt....there are more things to life....like 'second life' have you tried that?..its great...im a property tycoon :)

  • hey mate i play SL whats your full name on it?

  • good job!

  • Really interesting, nice one

  • Nothin against your video or anything mate but you couldnt have walked too far in them shoes. But with the music and the tone your tryin to go with, its like your tryin to make a video about sometin worthwile. instead of just a video about making videos.

  • This is a rule for everything in life to be honest. If you have a passion, stick with it. :D And for anyone who thinks you're sad... tell them to fuck off.

  • WTH! :P

  • u hve talent man. continue doin wat u like.

    gud luck.

  • Hey thanks and keep on making those youtube videos, you rock, dude.

  • Keep on keeping on.Pay no attention to those that try to criticise.They'd like to do the same as you but they don't have the imagination or courage to step out of the norm.

  • i completely understand were your coming from mate i have done loads of videos mostly about the need to own firearms for protection etc and a lot of ppl try and take the piss out of me for doing those types of videos and the problem is theyre to ignorant to look further than theyre own bollocks, peace out anyway mate

  • I recognised that as Winchester from the gate in the opening hehe. It's nice up there. Only been up there once but it's peaceful... when not accompanied by family including an 8 year old and two 6 year olds!
