[joeypeppy]

[listentodamewsic]

[AdmiralBarackbar]

@joannaGUM how can you compare animal collective to metal

its like comparing a shark to a goldfish

sure they both swim in water, but one attacks you and bites off your head and the other loves you forever.

[xxZeroZonexx]

@AdmiralBarackbar Why does that make me smile so hard.

[Limjucas8396]

@joannaGUM this comment is really naive and stupid.

[Limjucas8396]

@joannaGUM seriously. oh hes yelling. METAL.... what?>

[MegaSirianni]

[Lundstorm22]

the lightning bolt was killer perfect

[thran79]

awsome video! straight to my fav list :)

[sn0op2k]

Wonderful!

[TheRealLoadedTower]

Nicely done. I really dig your visual interpretation. It captures their expression of hope better than most fan made videos of Animal Collective. I smiled the whole time. What a gift.

[JungOwwl]

this video seriously makes me so happy. it goes with the song so perfectly.

[PattyGreendale]

That little girl running with the sparkler and then those two fireworks that shoot up, coolest shot of the whole video.

[PattyGreendale]

197 people know whats up!

[samjage]

3:40  - 3:43 makes me stop breathing from laughter. so cool

[NeilMcGuiness]

"Whether or not you believe it, you are listening to true recordgins of bigfoot creatures in their natural environment... we know these are naturally..."

[ValiantUnicorn]

I've screen capped a lot from this video and use them as desktop backgrounds :X

[Anders898Avey]

Clouds are the best. Animal Collective is the best. For Reverend Green and this video are the best.

[SarVlaxius]

Good work.

[ecmartz]

That was mind blowing

[TheRealMc101]

Amazing video indeed...

[TheRealMc101]

Life should sound like this...

[webbstock613]

[runforfun12]

I'm 15 of the 15,000 views. If only every youtube upload was of this caliber.

[XMagicanX]

7/8, I think...?

[heywhatupkneegrow]

Videos awesome, especially the fireworks

[twodaydude]

Hey there! I made a video inspired by this and wanted to post it as a response for you to see. Please accept it and I hope you enjoy!

[tmessage1]

What kind of camera did you use for this

[dodecadevin]

So much better than the ordinary youtube fanshit. Never stop learning!

[ValiantUnicorn]

I'm in love with this, completely.

[hungryoprah05]

I'm not usually a fan of fan-made videos, but I think this is great.

[tiptoeoverme]

[Callehero1]

I like this video , good job.

[gosuckonalime]

Thanks again for watching my little video. It seemed to have struck a chord with a lot of you. Just wanted to let you all know that I'm currently in post production on a couple of narrative projects. I'm also preparing to shoot my first feature film within the next 6 months! So there's a lot to come shortly. If you want to keep updated with my stuff, go to my personal website OKtake5 (dot) com. I also have a new YouTube account 'mcclainvideo'. Cheers!

[trekker114]

this should be made the official video for the song.

[musiclovecomedy2630]

This video is just pure talent. I'm speechless. Thanks so much for sharing, man. This song has always been my ultimate favourite & it's saved me in such a way I can't explain, and this video just made it 100 times better. Keep filming. :') ♥

[alejandrolavinjr]

[radioheadfan06]

Amazing video man. I got chills when Avey finished his screaming and the firework went off...nicely done.

[scorchamatic]

I usually spend my time trolling Animal Collective fans, but right now I'm too blown away. Fantastic video, you're a very talented dude.

[xredhenx]

[RedekerEleven]

Loved. :)

[jackcirbee]

This video is great, I don't know what pushed you to make it, but the cinematography is great and, well...it's animal collective!

[dethvallie6t9]

[kevmanz28]

quite lynchian. me likes.

[Gavialinae]

Very nice work indeed.. great images for a great song.. I think the AC guys would be proud of being associated with your shots..

[kittyhawkish]

4:18 wow blew my mind

[WI800]

The shots where the people were aware of them being filmed felt kind of out of place.

Regardless, great video, great shots, great music.

[racoonsmith]

This is beautiful.

[CaptainRyannn]

I love both Animal Collective and cinematography. You sir, have a great eye for shots.

[terrifried]

this video is incredible quality lol

[xtetsuo86]

great work!

[NOLDist]

haha word

[harvtron]

Did you shoot this all yourself? and if so what did you use?

[KaylaGalang]

does anyone know an INSTRUMENTAL song similar to this? or an instrumental experimental band similar to animal collective that incorporates sounds of "rewinds" and "frame-by-frames?"

[preyaswolves]

@KaylaGalang

try perhaps explosions in the sky..they arent as "out there" as beloved animal collective..but they might be what you're looking for :)

[KaylaGalang]

@preyaswolves

ohhh, i was thinking along the same lines, too. thanks :)

[tarrsmall]

this is amazing.

[gardenhead1310]

This is definitely a song.

[Unibomber1225]

@gardenhead1310 Surreal as shit man. Bravo.

[magnumbd]

Great footage with an amazing song. Any idea what kind of camera it was shot with? Looks like some 60P stuff. FCP?

[NOLDist]

Panasonic HVX

[NOLDist]

Amazing

[Philmeier1]

omg.... can't think straight!!! my mind is lost in those pictures. will take a while to get my thoughts back!! absolutely incredible..... never seen anything like this

[twodaydude]

simply Amazing! 1:54 just blew me away! Great job and keep it coming! Where do you live may i ask? I saw the ocean, the capital, and all sorts of stuff.

[SleepOwlSleep]

i loved this 5* for you!

[terracrush1234]

This is really good stuff. I hope you become a music video director or something. :)

[rebecki27]

[gaarasucks]

[gosuckonalime]

Thank you for watching. All of the footage was shot with my Panasonic HPX-170.

[theyitis]

@gosuckonalime dude your an awesome videographer!!! awesome!!!

[RetartedWaffles]

@gosuckonalime I'm thinking about getting that camera now, it seems really good.

[kohlhann]

@gosuckonalime what video editing software you use?

[Bourneswimmer]

Wow, that was amazing. The shots you get resemble the music very well and it cuts on the right beats. Also the quality is amazing my I ask what type of camera you are using? It reminds me of something you would see off of Planet Earth.

[quiet451]

Best video for this song I have seen.  Great video quality.
