[Dwojy18]

I will arrive at Burning Man one day.

[TheTimeLapseGuys]

That was Brilliant! Great Video.

[joedaddy305]

this is amazing! i would love to go to burning man but i would like to know where does everyone get there food from? and is it a free event or do you have to pay??

[moach]

@joedaddy305 Google Burning Man Project. Its very expensive - $300-400 or more for tickets, and they are by lottery this year as well. But they do have scholarship tickets for low prices. You bring what you need to survive then you take home your debris. Leave No Trace. It's a life changer, so naturally it takes a lot of work/planning.

[Donalorudhain]

meawoppl - you are brilliant. The video is beautiful and is but the audio is inspired. I am hugely impressed that you wrote the music yourself - you deserve to be more widely listened to.

[meawoppl]

@Donalorudhain The Music was by DJ Sharps (in the credits) Track him down and thank him :)

[Lrigg]

Treehuggers Unite!

[moach]

@Lrigg Funny...the only trees I saw were burning.

[xturntofade]

How did you protect your camera from the elements? Did you at all?

[TheShortStory]

The desert is beautiful!

Also, excellent use of music!

[lepireresteavenir]

Why the hell am I wasting my time watching this??? Oo

[J3LUNT]

It amazes me how big a planet we live on where there are people who have no idea about this amazing event!!

Yet at the same time it's so small that this video can be reached to so many inquisitive people.

[architmittal16]

Anyone else get the feeling that is a perfect metaphor for the growth of humans and civilization. They way we take a untouched piece of land and make it our own, moulding it and forming it for our own needs. The way the civilization grew and evolved over the course of the video. From a small group lacking technology to a buzzing community which is advanced.

[smoohan]

Check out the crepuscular 4:29 mark, leading into the sunset. It's magical.

[drutter]

@smoohan

Wow, nice word use.

Yeah that still is incredible. Looks like a huge beam of pure goodness coming down from above, landing right in the center of the city, as the last of the citizens clean up and move out.

[smoohan]

@drutter Thanks, buddy!

[maxvalo]

Where in the hell is the man that is burning?!

[xpatrob]

OH WOW! Brilliant! Well done...

[VitoFunn]

This is EPIC! Thanks for taking the time to do this...

[ThomasPianecz]

AMAZING!

[j5ssi5]

I went last year and Burning Man was a great experience for me. It renewed me and I am so grateful I got to go. I wish I could Have gone this year. It can be just like people presume, cliche and drug/hippie scene but I made it my own and couldn't have asked for a better experience.

[ExperimentalAirlines]

That's a Top 10 for me. It entrained my breathing to the day cycles. Far out!

[jbdranger]

i'm pretty fucking liberal, but burning man is the most retarded social experiment ever.

[artoutside]

@jbdranger Ahhh you must have never of been, else I promise you would never make that stament. If anything it is single handily the most influential social experiments of the past 30 years. To be fair some would agree that is totally retarded :0) Don't hate the Playa hate the Game :)

[moach]

@jbdranger Pictures or it never happened.  I'm gonna need to see your voter registration card as well, Troll.

[lauracolpo]

Heads up; if you want to share this video on your channel, some kook who owns or claims to own this copyright will turn you in which could result in your site shut down. Apparently they are not folllowing the sharing philosophy of burning man or basic social media/internet sharing.

[meawoppl]

@lauracolpo I don't know what you are talking about . . . The video is licensed creative commons (attribution and share-alike). If you do not provide attribution, it will likely be taken down on that basis. We are releasing the full rez-images, so perusing people who copy this really doesn't make any sense.

[tallbaby1979]

@lauracolpo All you have to do is basically credit the OP and the folks who created the video.

[irdghlzeiurghlui]

@lauracolpo lol, i'm gona place it on facebook, lets see him take down facebook. ;D

[halcyonstyn]

Bra-freakin-ro!!!

[AlexCanFly]

Worshiping the Golden Calf?

[moach]

@AlexCanFly That's right, and they eat babies too. You should probably stay far away.

[HepheistoBD]

I so want to go there some time :/

[bhaar87]

The music make you feel as if an ALIEN SPACESHIP is going to land there !

[DevaTemple]

I love the WTF is this and I don't get it comments. No worries folks. It's not to be understood, only experienced. It is Burning Man.

[Hypersthene]

Wow. I can't believe I survived (and enjoyed) that...

Thank you for the wonderful time-lapse.

[thundt]

Excellent. Nice sound fx too.

[23v0lv32]

this was the greatest time of my entire life.

[Scottermonkey]

I love imagining how this could show people a bit of what Burning Man is; definitely the "how freakin huge" it is!

[michistewart99]

Thank you for this. I was really hoping someone would do something like this.

[imthebestyour2nd]

I really love this. It's amazing how a little city pops up from the ground for a couple days, then disappears for another year. I wanted to go in 2011, but none of my friends wanted too, 2012 it is. See you all there <3

[pr0ipro9]

lmfao watch the vid with 240p

[surprisekun]

我々も歌おう。

[TCfoxs]

I don't get it. What is this?

[jmiggles696]

@TCfoxs Wikiepdia It

[ReflexEight]

@TCfoxs It's called Google. Use it.

[meawoppl]

@TCfoxs Try Googling Burning Man?

[moach]

@TCfoxs This is the annual building of, living in, then demolishing of Black Rock City in the Black Rock Desert of Northern Nevada. It is built annually by it's citizens. They live there for a week or so then they go back to their drudge. It's home.

[Comp1337e]

How utterly futile man's adventures are, no matter how joyous they may be. The passing of time, and this place will leave no trace of their existence.

[moach]

@Comp1337e Permanence does not equal purpose.

[Comp1337e]

@moach I wasn't questioning that the Burning Man was without a purpose.

[moach]

@moach I guess the word futle threw me.

[taruto10]

WTF is this???

[anymaru]

@taruto10 Look it up

[DevaTemple]

@taruto10 I was asking myself the same question the entire time I was there. Actually, it was more like, "Where am I and what the hell is going on?" Love it.

[carterjeffiner]

Superlatives fail me! My friend goes every year and tells me about Burning Man but this is the first time I have a real feeling for what happens there. I have so many questions. Love the night scenes and the sound effects (perfect). Thank you. I MUST experience the Playa for myself.

[STARSHEME]

Burning man folks!

[STARSHEME]

Wow!?super cool!very trippy!!thanks

[sandivva]

Wow! Thank you for that perspective!!

[aejohansson]

what was that?!:O some kind of festival?

[LFroberg]

how literally do u mean that a man burned? I'm not following... :P

[moach]

@LFroberg The man is upwards of 50 feet tall and made of wood. No worries.

[swinkie1337]

BATTLEFIELD 3? NICE!

[Joeses15]

What did I just watch?

[ashleyisachild]

poignant how fast it all disappears

[annaleevia]

Can you tell me which Canon DSLR you used?And what lenses? Thanks! :D

[meawoppl]

@annaleevia A Rebel T1i with a 50mm Prime Lense f/1.4

[decidida74]

@meawoppl Really?? That's actually the only lens I kept on during BM... A little nervous about changing lenses.

[annaleevia]

very nice timelaptse! :)

[TheCatLadyOfTexas]

That was freaking awesome. I wish I could have been there.

[twothousandspoons]

Holy glowsticks, Batman! =)

[JOANARIGUDAytb]

SHOWWW...

[Lili0000007]

whats burrning man!?

[glasstronic]

OUTSTANDING!! thanks for posting..

[pbrabbit13]

Superb! thank you for your efforts.

[karenstube]

Thanks, meawoppl, and done :)

[drsmcc]

Surreal.

The Burning Man Art Festival itself as art.

[Donalorudhain]

What visuals!

What music!

[chaff5]

I don't understand what I just watched but the visuals were really cool! At what real time frame rate was this taken at?

[rageofthesage]

that takes me back in a whole different way

[VE3n0m]

As always, why can't people write what song they use in their productions -.- *moan*..

Checked the DJ's site but none of the free music has been used in this production, and i ain't gona buy his music unless i know what track this is...

[sharpsbeats]

@VE3n0m hey thanks for looking my stuff up. I wrote this music specifically for this timelapse, it doesn't have a name because it is part of the video. However, this soundtrack is up for free public download on my soundcloud page at soundcloud [dot] com [slash] sharps if you're after this song specifically.

[VE3n0m]

@sharpsbeats I see, hence why there's no name for it here :)

Sweet, first thing i did was to download it... I sleep like a baby hearing this at night.. so thank you for a good night sleep (and also calming after work hours) :)

[baahklavaah]

@sharpsbeats I was wondering about how beautifuly it is synchronized, you did a fantastic job, I love the music, it swept me away (back to the playa)

[sharpsbeats]

@baahklavaah Thank you!

[drutter]

@sharpsbeats

The way you synched with the video was incredible. The video is amazing but it would simply be "great" without your part. Thanks for the soundcloud link - downloading one of your mixes now. Greets from the Fraser Valley :)

[sharpsbeats]

@drutter Cheers!

[MOHtier1FTW]

Are they having a LAZER TAG BATTLE?! :O

[meawoppl]

@MOHtier1FTW Only after flaming soccer. But a little before tron-football.

[xdeiri]

what is this?

[timmmip]

Where exactly was that camera set up? Amazing video, wow. Thanks for sharing.

[rolvon]

That was awsome to watch backed up with some great music.

Thanks for sharing.

[wd50fan]

@cadetwolf1234 dirty heathen worship and vile unchristian pornographic acts of sodom. Its a great fucking time

[karenstube]

that was delicious to watch!!!! I would love to have some stills of the night time images, especially a still of the man burning...

[meawoppl]

@karenstube Get on the prints list (see link above) It looks really incredible!

[brianeisley]

Gorgeous video. Thank you! And excellent work with the music as well!



[Queenstownmike]

Beautiful, thank you!

[Mugicha808]

Very nice work, never knew so much went into the prep of Burning Man!

[peterphilip]

COOL.... But CUT OUT THE DAY TIME AND YOU HAVE A FUCKING MASTERPIECE. The night is where its at.

[MrBlueroom1]

top top top, thank you very much for uploading the video, congrats

[MzSally31]

Nice job! Thank you!

[Lynkeus01]

creepy music :S

[Intosia]

Wow thats cool! Love the music!

[inforiculturist]

Majestic. Interesting how after the burn and the buners leave the wind direction whirls and then changes direction and follows them out.

[eminescinescu]

Human are like ants, but with flash lights ... ;)). The scale is amazing,if you take into consideration the background. Nice one.

Respect.

[mapa92]

Why does there always have to be a group of stupid assholes who "dislike" every single youtube video even if it is great....

oh yeah and great vid :)

[ghostrid3]

Awesome Video, It's magical, beautiful, stunning, spiritual, jaw dropping, the scenery of the mountains, sunsets, rotating earth, dusty winds, clouds and moutains are more interesting in the actual festival, seeing nature in its beauty makes everything else seem trivial.

[FatalPiak]

Imagine if the people from Burning man, lent their expertise, and numbers to occupy Wall Street.

[moach]

@FatalPiak I didn't imagine it; I assumed it.

[mwitty100]

We are all just sands in time, dust in the wind, an amazing journey to see Black Rock City like this... thanks for posting this!

[jrquiroz123]

This reminds me of that episode of Malcolm In The Middle.

[Firelight1987]

I miss home =(

[selectadeb]

SOOOOOOOOOOOO FREAKIN AWESOME! thanks for posting!



[ChristianMChristian]

nice- gorgeous and awe-inspiring. perfect music.

[magicrystalina]

apply the wadsworth constant

[absformula]

trippy music. great work

[Tastytoast225]

That was really interesting

[QueenJelli]

tight!! cant wait to go next year!

[khayle05]

burning man = mass orgy?

[moach]

@khayle05 Yes indeed it does. You should probably stay away.

[bruceansley]

What's with the Ewok chatter?

[j377yb33n]

Going to burning man is one of my life-long goals... this just gets me one step closer

[moach]

@j377yb33n You better hurry up with those steps because you are going to be so mad at yourself for every year you knew about it but didnt' go. Seriously, I still nag myself about delaying first time.

[j377yb33n]

@moach hey, there's only so many steps i can take towards going there when i'm stuck in school in ireland!

[moach]

@j377yb33n Ireland represents big time at the burn. If you're not already in contact you might want to google Burning Man regional contacts. Networking can make it happen a lot easier with cargo or ride share and so on. If you ever do go, PM me. I live in NV and may be able to help w/coordination. Good luck.

[gavrokk]

@j377yb33n Me and you are in the same boat on that one man, can't see myself escapin out to this until the leavin certs over and done, a year doesn't seem that long i suppose though..

[cadetwolf1234]

What exactly goes on at burning man?

[davemgj]

Can this be downloaded anywhere? ??

[meawoppl]

@davemgj Hey! Signup at the first link, and I will forward you stuff soon!

[Franklin8491]

Amazing Video - But how did you keep the dust off of your lens for 5 weeks? - And where exactly was this taken from?

[meawoppl]

@Franklin8491 I hiked up there occasionally. Also, there is some clone-stamp action happening to kill obvious spots :) If you google "Old Razorback Mountain" you can figure out where the camera was.

[waltarrrrr]

BEST. BURNING. MAN. VIDEO. EVAR.

[digideth]

that was beautiful! thank you

[AlexAlcyone]

Fantastic!!!!

Didn't like the music but no problem, turn sound off and substitute.

Amazing sunset at 4.40.

[meawoppl]

@AlexAlcyone I was a bit weird feeling about the music at first too. It has since grown on me!

[ghostdein1]

incredible work! thank you so much!

[PCowned]

wait I don't understand what made the lights appear? was that a town growing out in the desert or was that animals?

[ministryofgirl]

@PCowned im just as curious as you are

[ministryofgirl]

@PCowned wait its the town XD sorry didnt watch the whole video b4 i commented

[Flexazz]

@PCowned W-I-K-I-P-E-D-I-A

[meawoppl]

@Flexazz ?

[moach]

@PCowned It is Black Rock City being built, lived in then torn down.  Happens every year in Nevada.

[Gorekzz]

<3

[robb1138]

awesome video...well done guys :-)

[pengas2007]

great great work! thank you for sharing :)

what equipment did you use to get this done (i.e. camera/lens/mount) and how did you protect it from both the sun and sand storms?

[meawoppl]

@pengas2007 You can find the equipment list on my site linked next to my name (Matthew Goodman) Enjoy, also let me know if you have any questions!

[pengas2007]

@meawoppl dude, great meeting you virtually. the art/tech combo speaks to me in volumes. looking forward to seeing more of your work.

[meawoppl]

@pengas2007 Enjoy! Get on the print list/info list, and we can hook you up!

[martin128]

Surely a masterpiece, the music is PERFECT!!!

[MadMaxRex]

magical, beautiful, stunning, spiritual, jaw dropping, gave me chills. and when the man burned, it looked like the BIG BANG...there is something here! ohhhhhh.....my.....universe!

[meawoppl]

@MadMaxRex The burn print looks just like a galaxy. Get on the list, and we might be able to print pre-December holidays.

[davemgj]

~ B e a u t i f u l ~

[beijoso]

WOW. Whoever created this, I adore you. An almost-tear came to my eye as I watched the Exodus bits toward the end.

[meawoppl]

@beijoso Awesome. Get on the prints list! We will be selling them nearly at-cost to raise a bit of money to do this better next year :)

[MrIonization]

no wonder the light from the temple were intense. that was one big time-lapse fireball

[meawoppl]

@MrIonization If you get on the list from the link, we can do prints :)

[AnnakaRae]

This is great! Brought back some memories and real desire to go again!!!

[meawoppl]

Wooohoo. We are on a bunch of news sites for this :) Anyone seeking updates on getting the raw files, prints, or arranging to hug the creators should checkout the link I added.

[djvartan]

nice

[JoannaPriestley]

This is FABULOUS!  Love the soundtrack! Brilliant job. Congratulations.

[midwayj72]

Incredible. Marvellous. Unbelieveable.. Thanks.

[djbige420]
