I'm going to use this for my massage music. Thanks!

[andrewcramer13]

where is the video filmed?

[Brown86Town]

This is seriously the most relaxing music I've ever heard. It's beautiful.

Love these guys! I become a better man with every song I hear.

[mef444]

Ubiquitously piquant

someone needs to learn how to use a tripod

[DaftSingh]

@stgodd LOL!

[GMB32557142]

the shakiness adds a very good effect to the film. many good movies today use this hand-held technique because not only is it quicker than setting up a tripod, but it looks better to some people.

[stgodd]

sorry, but no.

i agree that "handheld shackiecam" can give a good affect in some circumstances but this is not one of them.

the point is that in this video the camera shake is so minimal that it is very off-putting. it appears asthough they wanted the camera to be still but it isnt.

[GMB32557142]

tell that to Steven Soderbergh

[stgodd]

care to point me to a particular scene/film where he does this sucsessfully then?

[GMB32557142]

Many scenes in Traffic. A couple of them can be seen in a video I uploaded called "Ambient Music - Cinematography". Just search for it on my page.

[stgodd]

ok i watched it. i feel all of the parts with shake were used with the intention of helping with immersion. i agree that those clips were good and the shakiecam was well used.

however i still do not agree that the shaking in this video is a good thing. there is no need for immersion and it feels like the shake was unintentional. the shaking does not add anything positive to this video.

[GMB32557142]

I just think that maybe Basketballerke just didn't either have a tripod or have time to set up a tripod. Some of those shots were quite quick and perhaps it was just easier to film hand-held style.

[stgodd]

now i fully agree with that, and those were my origional thoughts when watching this video.

[GMB32557142]

Oh. Alright then, sorry for the confusion.

@stgodd

Not even the sense of being with the videographer? seemed personable to me...

[Indy5O0]

How about just 'bleddy good'.

[HentaiNoKamiSama92]

Ravishingly fascinating.

[CrookedX777]

Nice song, nice video, but what's up with the overly thoughtful comments? I've never seen two extremely intelligent comments on the same video before; YouTube usually isn't a place of intelligence.

@CrookedX777

What's funny is I've been listening to a lot of this sort of music and every single video has the same overly thoughtful comments.

@CrookedX777

Good point. Normally you'd expect to see people calling each other "fags" and "retards" when you log on...

Luxuristically orgasmic

[rekluziv]

Exquisitely cinematic.
