This is seriously. The most amazing video I've ever seen. It's absolutely beautiful to me, maybe not to others, but to me. And I think that's what art is. Honestly I was speachless for a bit while I tried to think of words to describe this video. And the music is incredible with the video. The video reminds me of a nice, euphoric, lush mushroom trip with some cannabis. Everything is so warm and inviting and wonderful. Truly great. Good job man. Well done.
nice video. don't worry about the people crying over the paint being toxic, etc. lol, give me a break. this is a little bit of art that was well worth it imo and doesn't even begin to compare to the amount of damage done on any hour of any day by lots of companies and corporations. haha
this guy clearly has some talent and has paid attention to matching the music to the visuals. it really seems to fit, esp at 3:23. the paint in the woods is an almost disturbing contrast- makes you want to clean it up, makes you think of your hands sticky with paint. can see how both are about childhood. thanks for uploading.
im now at home ....i came from a gabber party but this is so tight. so relaxed....that i spliff right now some weed and lets start the next day...with this music it can only be a good day. so we will see what comes...
@neodkl a bit vague maybe, but pretentious? It's just how the song inspired me at the time. I think we can all agree that a lot of the Boards' music is inspired by and deals with themes of childhood. The multicolored paint relates to childhood. The painted sentence relates to childhood. I never said it was a masterpiece...it was just something that I enjoyed making and that I feel was a pretty genuine expression of what I was feeling at the time.
@xxmarka I perfectly agree with you, and on top of all the stuff you wrote, it's a music clip. And music clips have often nothing to do with the music, they are often an attempt to translate the feeling carried by the music and i think it's, then, rather subjective. It's been worked, i can watch that and that's good for me, because it sticks to the music and i think most people would agree with me. It's not about meaning but with propensity to stick with the rhythm.
@neodkl I agree with you about the pretentiousness. This was clearly written by a pre-freshman teen thinking that we all care he was going to college or something lol, the song is lovely though
I can't express how cool this is, being limited to the vocabulary that we use. I'd have to open up my brain and show you what is happening inside to convey my true thoughts of this video.
That's too deep, though. I suppose that I could just rate 5 stars. Thank you, sir. :D
@PattyMMelt My exact thoughts. We need to create a new language or at the very least new words to describe how I or we feel when we here these songs. Often nature is conveyed side by side with BoC but it seems more human and real to me. They take you back to innocent times while also telling you to keep yout eyes open in the future. Love whats around you & don't waste time.
This is my favorite song... It is amazing how music can put you in a totally different mind state and everything dissapears... putting you in a trance-like state... You did such an amazing job with the video... I love it... Its going on my iPod :D
@Zombiesami Thanks a lot, I am really flattered. Very cool that someone will be keeping a piece of my work with them so they can see it whenever they want. =]
The only thing I would have changed is the camera -- it needs some stabilization. If your camera has a tripod then you can just hold the tripod in the very middle to stabilize it.
I used a tripod in a couple of the shots showing text as well as the paint drizzling shots, but I see what you mean...I kind of had to work within the motif of "crappy homemade video" though since that was what it was lol
thats an amazing video to watch a few weeks before you go to college, amazingly edited, it brings a harsh reality that i won't see half my friends again, but the setting and style of the video reminds me of my early childhood watching beck and aphex twin videos etc. thus sort of symbolizing starting over again.
watchin this for the xxx time.. still love this shit <3
