The Acorn 'Flood Pt. 1' from the album 'Glory Hope Mountain'

[glasshouse34]

best. video. ever

[jako023]

this is why i love canda, we have such varied sound in the indie community :D

its all amazing especially the acorn <3

[ShaggusMcPhallus]

Lovely song and excellent clip.

[allyjoteen]

i love this video!!! this is so tight!!

[pantherblack666]

yay! snatch-pennies!

[MrGruntsworthy]

HAH! The Art Director/Production Design Geordie Lishmann is my 3D Design professor at Durham College :D

[haivasro]

Para algunos este video tiene mucho significado en la vida de alguien muy especial, te amamos mucho Gloria, he aprendido mucho de ti, eres de esas personas que dejan huellas en el corazon de todos los que te conocemos

[guyjcollins]

Love the simpsons clock

[SufjanStevensLover]

2:40 HIPPIE DANCING!! MAN, all i can do to this song. Cry, and hippie dance :)

[Playback007able]

Great imagination and originality. Had the priviledge to see this group perform live in a small venue in Chicago-north side, called Schuba's-03/15/2008. They're Canadiens. The front man's mother's later retelling to him of her latin American childhood experiences were the inspiration for this positive energy, love of life n' hope filled concept slab. It is one of my new favorites! BTW...you should have seen the people respond to this cut...they were jumping n' hopping like wild critters.

[starkid]

Glaciers made of wedding cake? AWESOME.

[tazadecafeporfavor]

That is the most astounding music video I have ever seen!!! :) Greatest bad ever!

[inbina93]

can't wait to see them live

[thesm9]

loved this record for a while. great video, hard to watch in limited quality of youtube.

[TeethTeethEyes]

literally the best thing that has ever happened to me.

[twinhelmut]

@TeethTeethEyes

Yes. Rare quality soulful uplifting beautiful anthemic Canadian music. Bravo Acorn.

[BeeStarLovesMoon]

I LOVE THIS SONG!

[101MwaveFRIKK]

ZEBRA STAMPEDE!!!! <3

[Acookachoo]

this is a really well done video, definitely one of my favourites this year.

[Oddell]

this video feels a lot like modest mouse's float on's

[timbobimbo22]

i see where your coming from

[Centaurkb]

Wow. so well done.

[ddizzydd]

wow, this is so cool great job!

[tylerenglish1969]

i used to always dig this

but i always thought it was arcade fire'ish...

its all good tho

[elfalcon138]

Different, but I like it a lot. Great guitar work, but not enough of it. Nice beat. Great video. (This is the second song of yours I've listened to.)

[NumbRevolution]

Amazing and stunning come to mind

[bradsmith72]

This song reminds me of a band called Big Fish Eat Little Fish. Anyone else out there remember them? Fantastic album they put out.

These guys really intrigue me. I think they have a lot to offer and I'm gonna find out!

[ledmills]

Flattered by all the nice words on this video.

FYI - There's a sequel to it now - just search The Acorn - Crooked Legs - and you'll find it.

Love,

Millsy.

[pleskitt]

this video is so so so beautiful and amazing

[bearhug17123]

Amazing video

[JamieeTheGreat]

I love the video

Watching it with my 2 year old cousin was..magical, he was enthralled =)

[Aspetta17]

Hey, Just watched it with my 2 year old son - Dancing and Jumping Around! Beautiful video and experience :) - Thank you <3

[gazmoon]

very talking heads - but enjoyed the listen

[Manzercorp]

cool but boring...

[strangemily13]

[Tippmann01]

Chris Mills = God of music video creation

[NegusOnTheWorld]

and I can't get enough of the band

[acornstuntman]

Check out ACORN Stunts

[asdabag]

Talking Heads rip off. Been done already, and better.

[Wilmerino]

what the hell are you talking about dude?

do you know anything about music?

[Tippmann01]

Well, ripping heads off is relevant maybe?

[blackboy1367002]

this is such a good music video! It's old modest mouse meets animal collective with a unique twist

[ChadTycoon1]

interesting...

[devrocksalot]

thats really cool. i like it!

[fictionjunnkie]

this is cool! is there any point though? not that it matters, random is good....:-)

[ilovewill21]

oh wow. cool. almoost golden compass-y n all. sweet

[k1bble09]

Wow I saw This on T.V. And i thought it was a actual song sung by a certain artist.... this is great :)

[kimchisan666]

It is an actual song sung by a certain artist named The Acorn lol

[DCRocks1828]

weird

[JJuice1707]

hahaha siiiick yeah the Durham College first year animation group made the carnival props and helped with the stop motion of the turtle. it was so much fun. the group I was with worked on the funny looking ferris wheel that the turtle flies through. man a project to remember. Hope that there are more projects like this to come. nice job peeps!

Juice

[ledmills]

You guys were invaluable...the work turned out better than I could've thought. Super imaginative, playful, and fun to work with - you all really stepped up.

Grateful for the collaboration.

[Skye8293]

Absolutely gorgeous video and a phenomonal song, with a meaning so metaphorical it almost insists you ponder it.

[TheColdestCalm]

absolutely lovely.

[lenirpmarin]

Fantastic!!! Is there anywhere I can download this in high quality?

[bortec9]

Neat, was this video created at Durham College in Oshawa?

[Jukabee7]

I got this off of Max's blog. This is lovely.

[whorulezme]

yeah it really is, me too

[technotetris]

love

[avzett]

Very good.

[FierceJellyBeans]

Oh wow!!

That was enthralling and the story is so genius. AMAZING :D

[sunsdomain]

Never mind my second paragraph, I somehow missed expanding the video description! :-P (that's what happens to the human brain when it turns 50)

Anyway my highest compliments to the entire team for this inspired work. I look forward to great things from you.

[sunsdomain]

This video is amazing - and let me tell you why. I am 50 years old and this is the first video or film I've ever seen that has the actual texture of a dream (or nightmare). Not just the dream imagery, but all the half-formed half-seen things, the quick illogical transitions, and the effortless flight through endless space. Incredible.

I'd like to know more about the background of this video, the people who made it, and the techniques/software that went into making it. Where can I find out?

[TsubasaHiroge888]

you have captured my thoughts exactly. Just like a dream, all the settings blend into each other, when you watch it,it all makes perfect sense, but when you try to remember it, it seems like nonsense.

[Trinigyal20]

Thanks for uploading XD

[littlepyro13]

diffrent... kinda liked it

thanks for posting this fang

[technotetris]

gorgeous

[lotrfan8]

I don't think I would have understood what was going on if not for your description. Though the effects weren't great, it looked done well, but I kept feeling that it was supposed to mean something, but that message was hidden too deep.

[HeadingleygEE]

wow this music licks monkey fuck!!

[OnlyRG1]

Wow, this is strange, but it's a strange kind of sense. I like it.

[murtaghlover]

Wow, when I first started listening to them they had about 10,000 profile views on myspace and their first e.p. as a band was just starting to gain a bit of popularity here in Ottawa. Now they're featured on Youtube's homepage. Crazy

[Lapaixchezvous]

oooooooh so great

[TyDaisuke]

Hey! Its the video! me and my class at durham college helped work on this!

[ledmills]

You guys kicked ass!

(the class built many of the carnival rides at the end of the video).

[TyDaisuke]

Yep, we built the carnival rides. The rides were mostly built out of cardboard paint and some popcans.

[philofiend]

Really visually outstanding. The work that went into it really shows. It would be nice to see it at a much higher resolution, though. I felt like I was missing a lot as I watched this blocky, blurry YouTube iteration.

[ledmills]

Motionographer and shotsringout both have a link, along with tons of other good stuff...

[CircusOfHeaven]

oh, great thing!:)

[deemariest]

nicole wow!

[SadieHell]

I am swept away guys. There are so many sparkling moments in this thing. It's unreal. Pun intended!

[filfthyewok]

nicole those are your drawings, congratulations you beauty!

[butunsailedseas]

waaa

[downbeatpuppet]

wow this is an amazing video

[abigredrockeater]

Why watch the video when you can just read the description on the right?

[FWHadley]

this song is great and the video only makes it better.
