As a photographer myself, I can say that this is definitely one of the best, if not the best music video I have ever seen. Beautiful footage, amazing colors and depth of field. I love the transitions to cars and highways to the flowers and people enjoying the simplicity of nature. Just goes to show what most people are missing out on in life, hurrying from one place to another without any real thought of what's going on around them. Anyways, brilliant work!
I have like every Album Leaf song on my iPod and ive had them for quite a while now. Its so hard for me to listen to them bcuz they make me think of a perfect world that doesnt exist. This song in particular is one of the stronger ones. Along with "Over the Pond" and "Another Day". They get me everytime!

really enjoyed this, bit too much cutting for my liking but the song fits perfectly (happens to be one of my all time favourites) and the saturation of the clips is awesome!

My dear god, you are amazing! This is the most amazing video piece i have seen yet, And it goes perfectly with my favorite song. Thank you so much for making this. It absolutely made my day 10 times better... You are an amazing editor and this footage is so simple but beautiful. Thank you again.
Thank you! I will have a video up soon. Sorry it's taking to long. After the robbery, it's been a bit hard to start up making films again. Thanks for watching my videos, man!! :)
Beautiful, just beautiful. I know you said you don't use any adapters/lenses, but what about filters? Do you have any upgrades on your HV30 or is it bone stock?
Keep up the amazing work man - you have such a gift. Subscribed, and looking forward to more!
Your camera's quality is incredible, loved seeing landscapes like 3:14 especially =) also rotating the camera and rewinding clips was really effective, if I were you I'd watch the rewinding a leeettle bit because on occasion (e.g. with the girls in the field) it didn't seem to fit with the song.
Sorry this has been way too long, I should just say great job :D
the way you mixed in the reverse shots was so interesting. it feels like there are so many elements behind so many of these shots that one could watch and analyze all day.
more than anything i loved the lush and crisp colors contrasting the rest of the image.
How did you get those wild aerial spins? At first I thought it was a jib, but if it is that thing has some crazy pivot abilities! Nice work, loved the editing.
WOW. really amazing. Nice use of camera teq, and great emotion mixed up in the song, it all gels well together. really inspires me to go out now and film, pitty its like 1 am.
oh man.... this video was so inspiring. I love it... and I also love the music, the Album Leaf is one of my fav. bands of all times... it fits perfect images + music... How do you film all of your people in the vids? you ask their permission? You just film them without them noticing? just curious... and about how much footage did you shoot to get this 3:26 minutes?
Hey thank you! I just walk up and start shooting people. I haven't had any issues with people yet, but I'm sure they'd let me know if they didn't want to be films. At first they look at me strangely, and then they just go about their business, haha. This was about an hour of footage that I cut down to this. Thank you for the comment!
Awesome creation!! 5***** thank you Rikk for sharing it with me.. Professional and powerful creation!!! thank you Matt for sharing your awesome talent with us.. Have a great week.. Peace, Love and Light.. Huggies Kassandra
I like how you speed things up and put things in reverse sometimes for effect. Man you just have an eye for film that I wish I had. What camera do you use and what settings do you put it on?
I use the HV30, and tried out the TV mode with a high shutter speed this time...not really a fan of it, haha. I usually just put it on manual focus and shoot away.
When I saw you had a new video up I muttered under my breath, "ah sweet!" and I clicked on it as fast as possible. Your videos always deliver and never disappoint Mr. Meheh.
