[lpf911]

[allredhead]

Those two flowers... Are actually one flower.... All my summers as a child are being remembered differently now.

[Fuzzycop]

Well done. I liked how you caught the movement of the aphids as well.

[SuperBamaslim]

Wtf, i didnt know those came from them!

[TheOdessa5]

I had no idea.....

[TetsuneSonic]

Why there is so many plant louse cause the Seeds doesn't opens completely

[ZealandGamer]

This is What My Marijuana Plant did before harvesting time

[sibeliandrift]

@ZealandGamer - wot - it sprouted dandelion seeds??

[sacadeshusha]

wow !!!

[emilysgarden]

AWESOME!

[2t22tornadosiren]

SO THAT'S HOW IT WORKS

[katiefaiez]

Wow this was an amazing video. Loved it!!! I cant believe my lil kid fears dandelions. They are so pretty! If you want to see how he screams when he sees it plz click my name and watch his video. No bad comments plz he is only 4 and and I am sure he will outgrow this fear.

[hippoturdlovaah]

wow o.o

[pegadendorff]

THat was one of the most amazing thigs I have eva seen

[myshowTM]

... what the... where did those little seed fuckers come from...

[bissells]

Nice and it's always a sunny day where you are.

[AteYourBaby13]

anybody else try to blow the things all over the place?

[julisabaku9]

Que hermoso!!

[simatic512]

That's absolutely amazing.

[chillinflowgo]

who here's stoned as fuck :D

[spazzypurplecat]

i've always wondered exactly how that happened... now i know. 1 minute and 41 seconds of my weekend well spent. nice work.

[meusisto]

How does one manage to film for one month? More than one camera, or just one is enough for battery and hd space? Is it possible to keep it plugged and working for one month?

[neilbromhall]

@meusisto Hi, Yes I used x2 cameras. I use grow lights to simulate day length and power the cameras and equipment from the mains power..

My acorn to seedling time-lapse took 8 months to film so this dandelion time-lapse is not that long a period

Best wishes

Neil

[meusisto]

Beautiful, thanks.

[Ruthicks2011]

Can you PLEASE tell me what you used to create this vtime lapse? I have a Canon t3i & I haven't been able to find something to make these kinds of videos. I also am having a problem finding a battery that will last long enough or one that would plug in to the wall/car. Thanks much

[bushputz]

I really wanted to blow the seeds...

[bornforwater2]

Damn aphids.

[yessumyecrad]

@bornforwater2 my thoughts exactly!! :)

[infiniteink185]

thank you so much. A bit of natures magic

[tonttu1511]

Amazing, thanks! :)

[ourDC888]

Beautiful, thank you!

[valdezmiguel2]

you got a lot of aphids. you must be a terrible gardener to have so many aphids.

[relocationestimates]

The video was amazing and I liked the music.

[SegEarth]

That is really cool watch my channel and in the grass you might see some dandelions

[Luisscaz]

magic

[dodgeviper173]

dandelions are weeds

[sibeliandrift]

@dodgeviper173 -that's true. BUT did you know you can make wine out of dandelions? And tea? And you can eat the leaves, cooked? And if you harvest the root and roast it and grind it you get something quite a lot like coffee? :)

[juzwenxin]

It very nice! But there are so many bugs :/

[iitsManii]

incredible work :)

[poopsicles50]

That is just beautiful. :) (except the bugs) :P haha :D

[Veeto200197]

so beautiful

[tokenannie]

Thank you from the bottom of my soul for posting this.....it has always pissed me off when some calls a dandelion a weed.....

[drunkglitch]

4 people got kcicked when they were in seeed form

[waiwai2468]

I'm amazed!  How do the petals turn to feathery seeds????

[TheMirandagail]

may I have your permission to show this to some kids in a homeschool co-op class?

[1382ify]

Very graceful and relaxing :D

[marvelousmelisa]

Wow, one month?? This happens overnight in my front yard during the spring.. It's a stunning transformation, anyways, thanks for filming it!

[RowseyFilms]

Ok. Firstly, that was awesome. Secondly, I'm disappointed that at 20 years old, I am just now learning that a dandelion is the same thing as those 'flowers' I used to blow the things off of when I was little. LOL

Well done, indeed.

[GanadoFO]

Very good video.

[AndromedaFollowsMe]

Looks like it was crawling in aphids.

Really lovely though.

[TheJCJexe]

COOL

[gtsofthedead214]

Great work

[kendpc]

great time lapse Neil - well done! I'm a bit of a fan of time lapse - producing and seeing.

[neilbromhall]

@kendpc I'm glad you like it. Thank you. Best wishes. Neil

[phillyguy95]

Lol I never knew dandelions and those wishing flowers you blow were the same thing!

[Fattrac]

Wow, Great job.

[OLBKatz]

That. was. AWESOME!!!!!!!!

[jdl106]

Dude you have heaps of aphids in your studio.

[Peloozi]

MIND = BLOWN!!!

[AshkirMC]

Although those things are a constant annoyance to everyones yards, they do seem kinda pretty XD

[emmomo1]

can i ask how you could keep the camera in the same position and angle for over a month's time? did you just leave it outdoor? thanks.

[neilbromhall]

@emmomo1 I filmed this sequence in my studio. I put the camera on a tripod so the camera is static. I use studio flash to expose each frame. I hope that helps. Best wishes

Neil

[WhistlerfromOz]

@neilbromhall That explains why there was no alternating day / night effect.

[JonahZU]

I love this video, but I am wondering, what song did you use for the music? It is fantastic.

[585788]

my mom kept trying to convince me that they were two different flowers and i refused that notion

[tavonjl]

found this interesting, the healing Hermathrodite from female to male

[herrotwin]

i cried watching this

[21centuryg]

wow i never knew that's how it happened.

[neilbromhall]

@21centuryg That's the great thing about time-lapses - you can observe growth when the plants are speeded which you would otherwise not see. Best wishes. Neil

[RobbieAndPhoebe]

Smooth animation, professional looking. It looks so fluffy! :3 I want to cuddle it

[HelloDaisyXOXO]

Thank you sooo much :] Ive never really understood how dandelions progressed from bright yellowe flat petals to white fluffy seedlings. I always thought that they were two different flowers lol but now it is finally clear!

[Petro7]

That was pretty cool, very nice

[phoenixpug]

thank you so much for capturing such a subtle and delicate yet so powerful phenomenon. the flower is so vulnerable thing yet no one knows its secrets.

[TheRandomuser69]

That really is incredible.

[VeryHappyHorse]

That is AMAZING!!!!!! WELL DONE!!!!!!!!!

[neilbromhall]

@VeryHappyHorse Thank you. Best wishes. Neil

[discouniverse]

[guavaflower1]

Lovely!

[alferxxx]

Aphids really love that

[kdxxwhiz]

Dandelions have always been so beautiful to me, cant believe they're even classified as weeds. This is such a beautiful video<3 I loved it.

[myanvita]

magical

[bella6497]

but what if at the end you know people blow the little hair or what ever their called what then???

[Un0nymous]

Could you an itunes link to her music it's incredible. BTW amazing time lapse :).

[CursedOrb]

The dandilion had aphids, and a moth, but very cool now I know when to rip the head of before it goes to seed and spreads.

[notoriousdan562]

that is so cool

[flamingo7189]

Hi, I love the music here. Can you tell me the title? thanks

[Alliart]

The music and the sequence play beautifully together! Thanks for sharing!

[sethmusic]

[emacwakeup]

omgosh!! this is the coolest most beautiful thing i have EVER seen!!! i had no idea how dandelions transform but its a miracle!!! well done!! thanx for posting such a beauty!!!

[miquest]

Excellent work! :)

[MegaBree13]

So beautiful. That why i take up clise phitigraphy of flowers. Gorgeous

[ChocolateFlux]

In Germany we call them "Lion Tooth" when they're yellow and "Blow Flower" when they're white.

[63lee63]

Isn't God's creation a thing of beauty, even in the simplest flower.... magnificent, detailed, and purposeful. Praise His most excellent name.

[utubenerd1]

@63lee63 fuck god

[Blackgeoff1]

@63lee63 When we perceive beauty in Nature it should remind us of the Creator of that beauty. Beauty in Nature is how God makes Himself visible to us.

[misterhed]

@Blackgeoff1

Bullshit. You're forgetting all the extremely ugly things in nature. Is small pox the way god makes himself visible too?

[Blackgeoff1]

@misterhed God made ugly things too ...... obviously.

[TheFabled2012]

@Blackgeoff1 It's quite ignorant of you to say that... "Creator".... what misterhed said, bull shit.

[Blackgeoff1]

@TheFabled2012 "Creation" means "something" made out of "nothing". When something appears in nature that wasn't there before, it became "created". The invisible force that makes it possible is it's "creator".

A human brain that has no logic (yours, for example) could then be said to have been "miscreated"; that is, there's something amiss in it's functioning. It's like an inability to see the wood because there are trees in the way. Like, there are none so blind as those who refuse to see...

[Ziggyrocks28]

amazing.

[XxBillyGoatNinjaxX]

Its like a Pokemon just evolved or something... My mind is truly blown

[hawkpaththefirst123]

cool!

[Ziggyrocks28]

wow

[JordanH859]

Wow..thats all i can say. Amazing

[rang786]

Nice one..

[fgreenoak]

Loved this. Interesting spirals

I swear it happens this fast in our orchard.

[acw7654]

Thank you. Beautiful!

[skoozeroni]

Wow, that's beautiful! Well done!

[twatfuck]

definitely getting a tattoo of one..

sweet video

[MrBolibob]

Such action, such DRAMA! this video helps me renember what it is like to be a dandelion... the nostalgia...

[cosmicordering1]

The awesome power of nature at work. It reflects what we all experience in life and the ultimate rebirth to oneness with the universe. Be Cosmic ...

[PinskyKyaroru]

Hello Mr @neilbromhall ! I really hope you don't mind, but I put part of this video in one of my own because it fitted so perfectly and it's so beautiful! I credited you, of course, and made it clear that it was not my piece of art but yours. Would you like to watch it? It's the first vid I've ever made and uploaded, so don't expect anything too fancy, alright? Just look my "uploaded videos" up. By the way, I love your work! Bye

[ARMOTY]

thumbs up if you came from wimp.com ,, nice video

[GoncasMan]

very very very very good. thanks for these moments of beauty.

[neilbromhall]

@GoncasMan Thank you, I'm delighted that you enjoyed the sequence.

[jasmmmm]

The music makes the whole video. Beautifully done!

[neilbromhall]

@jasmmmm I agree with you. The music by Debbie adds just the right atmosphere to the visual. I've used Debbie's music on other time-lapses I've filmed.

[cpmrsp]

Hola!

Simplemente¡Extraordinario!.

Las secuencias son preciosas y la música perfectamente elegida.

En mi pueblo,en Asturias-España,hay muchos dientes de león,son bastante bonitos,aunque pienso que tiene fama de mala hierba porque no sirve de adorno ya que en cuanto se corta,la flor languidece.Sin embargo es una planta que puede ser útil en muchas ocasiones.

A mi me gusta por su color y textura...pero vista de este modo,es realmente bonita.

Gracias.Un saludo

[neilbromhall]

@cpmrsp Thank you.

Best wishes

Neil

[neilbromhall]

@bassfluteman Thank you. I think the music works very well with the sequence too by adding just the right atmosphere.

[neilbromhall]

@TehJedicake Very true. Best wishes

neil

[solarpanelasses]

amazing, thanks for sharing

[neilbromhall]

@solarpanelasses I'm glad you liked the sequence. Best wishes

Neil

[MythOfEchelon]

I did not know they were the same flower 0.o

[geniphill]

mind changer. i never knew dandelions turned into seed heads.

im 18.

[rabagast19]

how did you get it to stay so still? did you prop up the stem with something?

[neilbromhall]

@rabagast19 Yes I used a piece of wire inside the hollow stem of the Dandelion otherwise the stem and flower-head move about to much. The wire was pushed into some floral foam submerged in rain water. A lot of time-lapses are trial and error and you're learning how much they move and how quickly they grow. This was not my first Dandelion time-lapse.

[rabagast19]

@neilbromhall ah, that's very clever. It's a marvelous video. thanks.

[Hey55zeus]

Well that was....fascinating!

[neilbromhall]

@Hey55zeus I'm glad that you like it.

Best wishes

Neil

[FRAGjornie]

That's just so.....beautifull

[neilbromhall]

@FRAGjornie Thank you. I agree. Dandelion flowers are beautiful. Best wishes Neil

[happykitty11]

wow, i never realized it took so long for them to become fluffy!

[neilbromhall]

@happykitty11 It takes quite a while from when the spent flowers wither to the fertilized seeds and parachutes to mature.

[idlewild]

Just one question: who is the music by?

[pbhj]

How did you keep the flower head still, what was it planted in, how was it fed? Could you give us some more information about how it was filmed?

[neilbromhall]

@pbhj Thank you for your interest with this Dandelion time-lapse.

I kept the head still by inserting a thin wire inside the hollow stem. The flower was just in water and didn't need feeding. I use a powerful growlight above the flower which was set to turn on for 12 hrs to simulate a day length. The growlight has a blind that blocks out the light before the flash exposes an image.I use an Ellinchrom studio flash synced to my Nikon D300 plus I use mirrors to model my lighting.

[SilkHashMills]

awesome

[DerangedCat]

could the aphids have caused a negative effect on the dandelion?

[neilbromhall]

@DerangedCat If the flower is infested with too many aphids it will effect the growth of the flower. In my time-lapse there weren't sufficient aphids to cause any ill effects to the flower and seed production. Thank you for your interest. Best wishes

Neil

[username132007]

I love this, I had to watch it a few times just because it made me happy,

I can't find that song anywhere else though, do you know the artist?

[neilbromhall]

@username132007 I'm glad you like the time-lapse sequence. The music is Copyright free which I found on Youtube.

It's called Attritian by Debbie Wiseman

[neilbromhall]

@username132007 I'm glad to hear that the sequence made you happy. That's nice.

I found the music on Youtube. It's Copyright free. It's called Attritian by Debbie Wiseman. I've used her music to accompany a few of my other time-lapses as I think her music adds just the right atmosphere to the sequence.

[InteractivRealEstate]

@neilbromhall Great job and great choice of music because it really did have a wonderful emotional effect. Dramatic in a subtle kind of way. At first I thought it was CGI until I saw it was time laps. Takes a lot of work to do time laps productions so I commend you wonderful work!

[souleater0815]

Take THAT Hitler!

[user21937]

Youth is glorious, but ever-fleeting. One burst of aureole brilliance and it's gone, replaced by the slow, steady process of decay and death. A brilliant mind once open becomes dulled, and sheltered. A vibrant imagination gives way to cold acceptance of the inevitable. Even then, it retains value. Although drifting toward oblivion, it provides the future. It fears not death, for death means the continuance of life.

[DeSwiss]

@user21937 Well said.

[catmanstu]

Who is this music by?

[neilbromhall]

@catmanstu The music is called Attritian by Debbie Wiseman. I found it on Youtube.

It's Copyright free.

[McGturtle3]

My whole childhood has been a lie. I always thought it started out as the fuzzy thing and then turned into the yellow part =/

[neilbromhall]

@McGturtle3 I'm glad that the time-lapse revealed what happened. That's one of the good things about time-lapses.

Best wishes

Neil

[averagejoe42]

DAMN NATURE! YOU SCARY!

[ladlaw421]

woah woah woah woah woah. those are the same flower?

[user21937]

@ladlaw421 Technically they're the same *weed*, but... yes, yes they are.

[Akikko]

Beautiful.

[neilbromhall]

@Akikko I agree.
