The idea with the belt and post it notes was a very unique and creative was to start the video, and the book at the end was good too. So basically the editing was great. I like how instead of just watching you or some photos of what was happening to the members of the group you had video. It was really easy to watch. Good job. And my own opinion in hipsters.... I think I probably am one, the only one most likely in Iowa... But at the same time I'm not one. I don't know, labels are tricky.
that was gay...im gonna go do some actual hipster bashing now that i wasted 7:00 minutes listenin to some monotonous voice from some homo who sounded like he either had a cold or was gonna cry the entire video. fuck hipsters and this dude
Really well made, but damnit, I wish you guys actually filmed hipsters and made fun of them. I don't care how 'pretentious' and 'condescending' it is. Hipsters suck. I think it's kind of condescending how you think making fun of hipsters makes you in turn condescending. It's obviously a stupid fad, and there's really no problem with exposing their laughable excuse for a social movement. Just my opinion, but I did enjoy the film.
This project failed because all of those involved, with the exception of the woman who went on vacation, posess all of the negative qualities they describe as belonging to hipsters. The only thing that diferentiates them from their subjects is fashion sense, but their manner of dress, no matter how modest, is as much an expression of ego and vanity as that of the New York hipsters they are searching for.
Yes, yes, I understand. I'm not discrediting the quality of this piece, which is very well put together, nor am I denying the self deprecating humor that is apparent throughout. It is very unlikely that the narrator would be able to talk so much mess about his fellow group members without making them irate. I guess I'm just wondering: do you consider yourselves to be hipsters? If not, then please explain. Again,I wouldn't respond if I didn't find it compelling.
Wow, thank you for the well-worded reply- you don't often find such thorough critics on youtube. The curous thing about hipsters is no one ever admits to being a hipster. Even the young men wearing jeans far too tight for his own good, clove in one hand, can of Black Label in the other, talking about how Deerhoof is too mainstream would not call himself a hipster. I think I would be in a bad position to determine my own overall hipsterness. cont'd below...
However, the qualities displayed in the video that you (and many others, it seems) may be reacting too are not traits we actually possess, and if tey are, they are gross exaggerations. We put on airs of pretension, etc. for the sake of the video. Did this answer your question?
In the defense of the video to the comments of both neroadam and thedeanjive (and phaddeaus7 as well, I suppose):
The goal of the video was just that, to poke fun at ourselves as filmmakers for being guilty of the crimes we were trying to expose. Perhaps the self-depricating and ironic tone wasn't adequately conveyed or perhaps you only took the project at face-value. Maybe take another look and see what you think with this in mind...
wow, i wish i went to a really expensive liberal arts college so i could say awesome words like 'pretentious' and 'condescending' 10 times an hour too.
Nerodam has to get past -- far beyond -- the idea that sinple vocabulary ("pretentious" and "condescending"?) separate him from the intelligentsia and are being used by the intelligentsia to preclude him or her somehow from the discourse. This is a self-defeating cry disguised thinly as an attack on elitism. -- Professor (not Oberlin)
I promise I'm not intimidated by those words, I was merely commenting on the fact that they seemed really impressed by themselves for being able to employ those words. I mean honestly, count the times they say those words. Count them.
Ok. I believe you. As for the Oberlin students, they do have good reason to think they're work is clever, because it is. (It might have been the only way to save the assignment, in any case.) It is possible that words such as these do come easily, perhaps too easily, too these students. I admit that I didn't notice, much less count, the repetition, which was hopefully purposeful. If not, you're feedback to them is quite good.

I commend you as I had my own "let's poke fun at the hipsters" documentary that went awry, at least you had the good sense to make your failure into a narrative.
I love that this was a school project. Should have thought that at Oberlin you'd find hipsters, but now I'm guessing you specifically didn't find any to support the conclusion. Experiments can be "proven" so many ways! Great film.
