Starship Amazing - A Year Later, Maggie's in Elephant Heaven [A Love Letter to Anchorage, Alaska]

[KewieCRC420]

This is my favorite track from you guys so far. This song and video has helped me get up in the mornings ever since my car accident in June. Keep making music you two. There is no sound out there like this.  I plan on buying your albums soon. Great work.

[JPhands]

I've lived in California my whole life, man it would be cool to go somewhere like Alaska.

[Slayter2142]

You had some crazy weather that day. Sunny at first in the morning, then a blizzard hit. The snow completely melted away, and you went to the playground while it was warm in the afternoon. Then another blizzard came. Luckily the sun came out and melted it all away just in time to ride off into the sunset among the a green tree lined street! Good night.

[SchlossRitter]

Looks like a cool place, but then I remember how much of a pain heavy snow is to shovel or drive in. Cool track though.

[MagicKoopaMarc]

I don't know why but every time I watch this video, a smile grows on my face. Whether its at 1:00 in the morning after a long day, or after a tough situation that made me pissed, this song never disappoints. As always, great work Derek ;)

[iHEATCHECK]

Cool video but what the fucks up with all the playground and kids toys shots...that's creepy

[MechaPorkyNK]

One of the most beautiful videos I've ever seen. I can't really explain why :']

[13SourSweet]

OMG HES AT MY SCHOOL!!!!

[mirrorseye]

did i mention this is a fukin masterpiece?!??!

[wh0racle3]

Soooo pretentious.

[ChibiFighter]

This video is so beautiful in so many ways, Great video Derek. P.S. for some reason the shot at 0:44 reminds me of D2.

[Roxfox]

Reminds me of home. It's kinda strange. It pretty much looks exactly like that where I live now, out by the coast of Sweden, but this video still reminds me more of my home town, back inland. I've lived up here all my life, and I never want to move away. I can imagine going further north, but never further south. I need to stay with the snow. Even though it happens every year, the snowy midwinter nights still get to me. Every flake accentuated by the streetlights against the dark sky...

[iceblazes]

Maggie is indeed in elephant heaven - on earth. She was moved to the PAWS sanctuary in California & is thriving there. Check out the video - Holiday Greetings from Maggie the Elephant at PAWS

[odlid420]

B-roll becomes A-Roll.

Dug it, put me in a better mood

[serraangel12]

the part where is shows it snowing and the music remided me of the game parasite eve.. for playstation was a great game LOL

[southcoocrecords]

Great music video!

[MikkMakk88]

I really think its amazing and inspiring of you two to make such great music in your spare time :) Love your stuff guys, dont give it up :D

[calumteine2008]

Like having a Silent Hill game based in Hawaii, this is one part heavy, one part light, two parts awesome. Bravo.

[MarioNintendoh]

Don't ever stop making music, you guys.

[MasochistMouse]

Nice dusting footage! (:

[CoolXer0]

How often does it snow there ?

[JPhands]

Still haven't seen snow in my 18 year long life. It must be amazing :)

[MrPink4tw]

Quick question, what model/brand of cam did you use to record this? It came out beautiful.

[werotus]

Alaska looks so much like Finland. Just with twice the population :)

[Dreamcest]

Sweet imagery, and a fantastic song! Awesome job, you guys!

[desuMaKun]

CANADA!!!! Love the song!

[marscaleb]

Wow, that place looks pretty when its not covered in *frickin' snow!*

[Zylo587]

@marscaleb Don't diss snow. Ever.

[leoviper]

nice song

[Scarlet1992Kille]

Nice video Derek but what game are you going to review next?

[TypingBlank]

Im moving to Alaska in less than a month, Im also a game reviewer...only have 1900 subs though. Im a huge fan of yours.

[AfrojacX]

:')

[mulemulerton]

You've inspired me to make a video like this about my cat.... Because he's fuzzy, Nyan :3.

[SideSmash]

You've inspired me to do something like this for my hometown right before I leave it for college.

[nljuggalo]

Nice.

[princedavid0]

Alaska is one of the most beautiful places in the world

[EpicOdysseus]

Coming to Canada for college from Hawaii, this video really rekindled that feeling I got the first time there was a heavy snowfall at night, the massive amount of flakes falling in front of light sources, and all the benches, buildings, and everything else had a thick blanket of snow over it, it was like nothing I've ever experienced before, literally. I really miss it. No one here gets it; winter is annual for them. Just saying that this video made me feel something really special.

[Tablekorner]

Nice.

[SamueltheChicken]

69th video!! XD

[JPhands]

@2:00 That looks really fun... I wanna go to Alaska now.

[strangersRus]

i LOVE starship amazing, i almost always use ur songs for my videos! u guys rock

[nothingislogical]

I've been thinking of doing something like this for awhile now. Awesome job! Derek, have you seen the film "Man with a Movie Camera"? It's a black and white film that a Russian guy shot in the late 1920's. It's very similar to this but "Man with a Movie Camera" is a feature length film. Also, are you guys planning on selling Starship Amazing t-shirts any time soon?

[MrVonKillGore]

Can you see Russia from your deck?

[thcsabinad]

@1:57 CALVIINNNNN!!!!!!!

[austinmackert]

Awesomeness.

[EvilKatarn]

Alaska looks EXACTLY like Estonia. I could swear most of these shots were filmed here.

[thcsabinad]

@EvilKatarn mõtlesin ise sama asja :)

[Tolstoievsky]

@EvilKatarn sorry, but i don't believe you

[Roxfox]

@Tolstoievsky I can confirm this. I live near the geographical center of Sweden, and this video looked like home to me. I have a habit of describing Canada as being the Scandinavia of the Americas... Now, Estonia is technically outside of Scandinavia, and Alaska isn't part of Canada, but they're close enough to share the same climate!

[Tolstoievsky]

@Roxfox it's not the climate i'm doubting ;)

[tiggermad]

i always love the music you guys create and this video is a great compliment to a great song. my fiance also creates music and i love watching the process that goes into creating songs like this and wish i could be that talented. oh well lol.

[ZeromasterLP]

a beautiful video dude, I love scenic music videos and this one gives me the feel of your hometown in like a perfect perspective.

[Anithusiast]

I lived in Anchorage my entire life but moved away six months ago to go to graduate school. I think this is a great tribute even if watching it makes me feel homesick.

By the way, if you haven't checked out Ian's Game Paradise in the Northway Mall, you really should.

[ChicanoxParkxJefe]

you forgot to show sarah palin lurking around spending tax money on expensive shit !

[clays121]

Cool vid :-) 

[bennykurns]

Achorage is beautiful.

[SkankinDevil89]

oh yeah, and i dunno if you know derek, but theres a really good spot on spenard for retro video games. a guy named mike owns the place and he has walls of all kinds of old school games. its just called spenard pawn shop, but theres a ton of awesome stuff in there. way better than that play and trade on dimond. way better

[SkankinDevil89]

thats gotta be summer last year cuz right now its sunny out, but there arent many leaves on the trees yet. its getting there though, i fucking love summer time in anchorage.

[Piesonscreations]

This song IS amazing :D

[809Ollie]

i only really like ur more upbeat songs but i loved the vid, i love snow and want to vist alaska but i dont think theres that much there to see

[XenothranHero]

You've certainly done Anchorage justice. Beautiful video, plus it was nice seeing all the sights of Anchorage in Fall and Winter!

[newyy1]

You mean Alaskans don't live in igloos?

[ValisHD]

im glad some places in alaska is warm. ^_^

[advancedpillow]

you guys love those drums fills.

[hall9111]

CLAP FOR ALASKA!

[wertye23]

[TrevRman]

[EconomyShark]

Has this been a Cool Videos Production?

[TigerClawTV]

Nicley done. - 2:00 lolwat?

[Beseiged]

From this video I can tell that Anchorage only contains a few people, snow, and trees.

[alexisironman]

dude, alaska has basketball hoops!!!?!???

[jackkuro]

This video is extremely minecraft.

And the song is too.

So peaceful =)

[aflyingturd]

watching this video I have to remind myself that this is American. It's so far away that it sometimes seems foreign to me. Awesome video! Would love to go there someday.

[gunfart]

[mAg0mAN19]

Nice song =)

[6thhokagephil]

umm..what is this I don't even O_O

[JHung7200]

[princemercury]

I've always wondered what Anchorage is like. Now I have a little idea. Good stuff!

[Lantis02]

I bought this album back in November of last year. And I wanted to drop a line and let you know that I've thoroughly enjoyed it. Thanks Derrick and Calvin for your awesome work.

[Dinomaster1]

Looks like a beauitful place both in winter and summer

Well done on the capturing of that

[Keukenhufterr]

i miss the winter

[ghos7bear]

Looks so common.

[yhmmot]

OH.MY.GOD

[RogueRholm]

@DylanTheGroundhog That is the name of the song by Starship Amazing (Derek's music project/band). As to why it is called that, no idea!

[Hellooo666]

Wow Alaska is turly a beautiful place as they say it is.

[wiiseeyou]

Fuck you snow! 0:44

[TakaMaru777]

I wish my town had a water tower...

[Hampsterboy420]
