When?

[RUSS1AN]

I can't understand why this video has 86 dislikes? I guess there are people without emotions after all or unable to tell the difference between "dislike" and "add to".

[Lilly5428]

[JunioSerroni]

Bellissimo.

[Glitzerkram]

You can see that he`s a british robot, because he drives on the wrong side of the road. :)

[Alestrust]

heh. 1.50 - Moscow. Lefortovo tunnel

[fleXcope]

That's why we should all record our journeys - for someone else to experience...

[LibanPhotography]

BEAUTIFUL!!!!! made my day. Thanks for creating this wonderful piece.

[thenielsengbg]

Lovely...

[Amaranto1988]

Very good, one of the best movies ive seen on youtube lately with so few views. awesome!

[douglas2031]

very cool :D

[mekornilol]

thought this was going to be good, turned out it was an utter dissappointment. I see no reason why this should go viral

[failtolawl]

a fucking mac and a fedora, with stupid ass robots living in a warehouse.. well that is a fucking hipster if I ever saw one.

[GlobalAwareness2525]

I had a lot of figurines like that in my office.

I put them all in a box and dropped them off at good will because they kept messing with my computer.

[epiphone125]

Love this film, especially the smile on robots face.... Proper melancholy, just like I like it. That Sunday night, school tomorrow feeling.

[chinesedude711]

@jesperA86. The road is in South Lake Tahoe, California 

[JesperA86]

Anyone know what road it is at 1:37?

[bartonz1993]

I seriously want to know why someone would dislike this?

[NicholsonDen]

Amazing



[mealsowalkdogs]

This story is about our lives, isn't it? I was literally like this robot: I was dreaming about a trip to the US, watching tons of Google Street View shots of the places I wanted to go. And then one day my dream came true.

I understood one thing: no matter how impossible something seems to be, never stop dreaming, and your dreams will come true.

[jonahbryson]

wow ,thats soooo cooooool!

[FuLlCiiRcLe]

That is so fucking awesome

[SinChase]

Amazing.

[xXGhilliedxSamuraiXx]

Google is insane for doing Street View. This video is insane as well.

[travelingmaniac]

Brilliant, genius, fantastic, amazing...

[DrToadProductions]

[benmaxw]

Very good jobs :-)

[davestour]

[Cheweybrother]

The most beatiful video i've ever seen...

[theji]

thailand's internet can't do like this lol

[StopTheMusicThen]

UFF pinky ring totally distracted me from enjoying this video :p

[BloodlossDesign]

I'm standing in a street in Rio de Janeio.Imaging every detail; the sound of the ocean, the smell of salt water in the air; the casual conversations between people walking the sidewalk along the beaches; the smile of a child living in poverty; the disconnection from the world of a business man on his cellphone; 1972 VW Beetle honking it's horn. I'll never have the means to visit Rio. I don't have to. I find my zen with Google Earth. I am that toy on the shelf. Thank you Google.

[elol38]

nice

[Jackobistar]

How can anybody disklike this? Its just so wonderful! *-*

[Bsaint]

Beautiful, what an awesome idea. So well done.

[deathhippy97]

[CryptiCxReapeR]

[illusiwind]

lovely

[JakeZigsow]

awesome!

[JurianChibo]

When you are confine in a smal place, the same routine, confine in limits, in the dark side of the world, you want to escape.

You want to go away from this darkness, the reality.

My imagination is my toy car

[Mauerschwalbe]

75 people was so fascinated that tey kliced at "dont like"

[kenrouse]

very great and so nice story.

[salvadoraugustus]

this video makes me blow my head off ..is like my dream never come true

[sebytz92]

Why doesn't this video have millions of views? I'm dissapointed of you mankind...

[premejo]

@sebytz92 Oh it will... it will

[LittleWickedMushroom]

@sebytz92 Because this is Youtube. On vimeo, for example (and I don't want to spam or anything), this video has two million views approximately.

[MarkPallis]

@sebytz92 It does. More than 2 million on vimeo!!

[pinje]

@sebytz92 Could say the same thing about numerous music videos.

[pkaras1]

@sebytz92 it has on vimeo video 32397612 :)

[RawMciver]

@sebytz92 Obvisuly becuz ther isnt millions of people on earth

[sebytz92]

@RawMciver Are you kidding me?

[bogiwoye]

@sebytz92 LOL

[051r15X]

1:49 Lefortovo tunne?!?!?!?!?lol what is Russia doing on the way to Pacific Coast?

but the video is the best )

[adantheking001]

me encanto!!

:)

[condenplak]

Buenísimo! Fantastico.

[Pikey031]

This is incredible! I loved it, just beautiful :-)

[homiertcw]

how can you ever dislike this, damn. one of the most inspiring videos ive ever seen, if not the best

[idzchef]

very awesome. I thought the lamps as the tunnel lights was perfect along with everything else. I dont think i ever get tired of these Google Map videos

[kdsjhfdsgdsfd]

God DAMN I want whatever camera you used

[zenpro12]

love it! absolutely love it!! 

[julietmikealpha]

Really impressed with the lighting that makes the Google maps imagery look very natural throughout. Awesome.

[TheFluktuationAcht]

Very touching.

[MAMACITABL3]

I wonder if anyone notices how much the world has changed. Ignorance and egoism is all I can see. We always want to have more, be more, when actually we have everything we need. In africa there are children dying because we only care about ouselves. Such a shame that those people can't have or see the happiness in life. We got so many beautiful things in our life, but we don't appreciate them. Makes me kinda sad

[floridarobot]

Ahhhh .... Brilliant !!! Beautifully put together story that touched the heart. Perfect music and I loved the way the lamps and lighting played. Nice job !!!

[sarahzarada]

Beautiful!

[sergeantfan3]

Whoever made this is a fucking genius. Absolutely incredible.

[xtcgohan]

This is awe-inspiring

[dude018219293]

This is literally the most beautiful thing I've ever seen.

[alicanss]

Wow! amazing!

[acnr0]

That was one of the best "nerdy" short films I've ever seen, thanks for sharing!

[Gosox2525]

@cpypcy no you can't

[LemmyDecaution]

Beautiful absolutely Beautiful job here!!

[peggymcandrew]

very, very emotional. What a great job.

[Androholica]

That should get an academy award. I cried like a baby. Fuck it is great.

[sibertiger17]

Wow, amazing emotional impact you create with the music and visuals of the robot who can only dream....does bring a tear to the eye, that's an oscar worthy short film!

[Goodtimee777]

I stopped watching as i watched him use a MAC.

[MPZRACEVIDEO]

Nice, love it...

[cpypcy]

You can make really that smooth video out of google earth street view? Wish google implemented such a streaming.

[cadcamandy1]

Great stuff.

[juanraelwachin]

Whats the name of that sonnng??

[gschumsky]

Beautiful and brilliant. Nice work Tom.

[WolfTeilahr1]

Sheer genuis, I enjoyed every second of it. The lamp imitating the sunrise and then blended with the sunrise on the monitor was inspired. Address is, indeed, approximate :). Thanks for sharing the video, n0m.

[moneek999]

Some videos seem like if you had the time / resources you could have done it yourself. This is not one of those. Sheer creative genius. Hats off!  (And yes, it does look better on vimeo)

[RicDoFOGO]

Beautiful and moving... Videos like this are hard to find :)

[burp014]

makes me sad... then happy at the end... but then sad cause he was only pretending and that he will probably never go across the country. ;(

[Magiskeolof]

"think outside the box" :)

[koksblume]

after this video i had a epic feeling

[zypern57]

fight for your dreams.

[leegul]

so much better on vimeo.

[wilzy123]

This makes me so sad to watch - deep inside, it makes me think of the hopes and dreams that a lot of people have, which are simply out of reach to them for so many reasons. Such simple, beautiful things being sought by everyday people. I know the world is the way it is - but sometimes it's just not fair.

[ddoumeche]

@wilzy123

the robot symbolize your soul

[wilzy123]

@ddoumeche That's an awesome compliment. Thank-you!

[wings12eleanor]

@wilzy123

most impressed comment I've ever read

[wilzy123]

@wings12eleanor Thank-you :) Have a wonderful new year.

[wings12eleanor]

@wilzy123

It makes me think of the people who suffered from the severe earthquake and tsunami this year in my country. Although there were heavy damages, I know those people didnt throw away hopes and dreams. and at the same time, sadly, it's true that most of dreams they had before the disaster might have gone now.

[wings12eleanor]

@wilzy123 But whatever happen, every mankind have rights to dream about something great. As you said, it's not fair that many people cant achieve their dream. Now I thought , no matter it can be achieved or not, we all of us ought to focus on each person's dream and hope. I was glad I myself could noticed the essential value of hopes and dreams.

Merry X'mas!

and

Happy New Year!

[Gm3Beats]

@wilzy123 with pure imagination, nothing is out of reach. Cheers!

[wilzy123]

@Gm3Beats I believe this to the core

[VegasDave21]

Its nice to find gold videos like this in a site full of pointless trash

[cscdigitalgraphics]

What a concept. It is totally original.

[miro2703]

beautifully created, with heart. i tip hat before you guys.

[Ph0enixAsh]

That's UK originality for you. :-)

[bowless08]

Did anyone else notice how the sun is rising over the ocean on the west coast? Last time I checked the sun rises in the east. I guess the robot could have sat there all day and waited for the sunset. Regardless, it is still and amazing video.

[metlralghmdi]

Its is sad, that robots have feeling more than 68 humans do :(

[priyankeshu1]

i hope only robots do this .. human beings should choose for real travel.. ALWAYS

[Gosox2525]

@Horrormane the city part is the only one where it seems like it actually used street view, the rest seem like videos. The frames are far too close together to be from street view, still a fantastic video tho

[cserrano86]

Simply amazing...

[theopolisme]

Very, very touching. Beautifully done. Great music choice as well.

[G0DEMPEROR]

So if you were wondering what fraction of people on this earth are incorrigible trolls: take the number 67, divide it by the sum of that number and 9332, and Bob's your uncle: you answered your own question.

[legendmichael]

Magically AWESOME.

[jamiswallis]

Looks far better on Vimeo

[drexviathen]

@jamiswallis i liked it better when it was on vinyl
