[ThatsMrMoronToYou]

Hey, Eric. I'm a DJ at the local Swedish radio station. I just played this song, and had to see your video again. Always a pleasure.

[EricStrifflerVids]

@ThatsMrMoronToYou Awesome, thank you for watching! I'm glad you enjoy it!

[SantanaScripts]

Hey Eric. How did you get to use copyright music on your video?

[EricStrifflerVids]

@SantanaScripts I got permission from the label to use this song.

[SantanaScripts]

@EricStrifflerVids Ok how would I go about doing that? Just found out the label and call them up?

Eric, this was really good. I think that you have a future of being a filmaker. :)

[Theheavymetalscott]

Dude, me and my girlfriend were going through a tough spot and I can honestly say this song saved our relationship. This video speaks amazing words to me, Thank-you! :)

[EricStrifflerVids]

@Theheavymetalscott WOW that's awesome, I'm very glad for that :)

[NinjaPwnsAtLife]

[headbangerdmc123]

[EricStrifflerVids]

@headbangerdmc123 This is one of the best comments I've received about Colorblind. Fucking THANK YOU.

[headbangerdmc123]

@EricStrifflerVids zomgggg oasdodufhasdudyfh you responded to my comment :D yeah, i showed it to my girlfriend. we're only kids and we don't have licenses and she lives out of the way sorta so i showed it to her and told her i miss her :) haha you're an awesome director dude. i hope to see a movie directed by Mr. Striffler soon :)

[EricStrifflerVids]

@headbangerdmc123 That means so much to me, I'm glad my video represented your feelings in that way. Thanks a lot, really :)

[thebigjc37]

@headbangerdmc123 Homophobia is GAY.

[qwertyqeys]

Whenever you did stunts, I had music going in my head that went like DANA NANA NAAA NANAAA NANAAA

[monicav1919]

something inside of me melts whenever i watch this video :)

[Blueredbooger]

I loved this :)

[lolzisthenewlol]

im colorblind to red blue orange and purple. its really hard. i colored the sky purple in school. and i got an F. if only they could understand...

[thebigjc37]

@lolzisthenewlol Dude purple skys sound amazing. I'm jealous.

[localshop29]

@lolzisthenewlol im the same way it was hard going thorugh grades kindergarden - 3 the teachers thought i was being silly it was only when i was 13 that the eye doctor told me i was colourblind lol

[BakuraSR45]

@lolzisthenewlol they graded you on coloring? and even then, they gave you an f?

[OPTICNATIONSUCKS]

Cool bike :)

[ocrapitssij]

His world has no color without her. So sweet.

[LewizX90]

You inspired the name for my band!

Nobody steal the name it is copyrighted by me!

[palmakevin51]

Awesome

[kasandradisco]

I love videos like this, it's very creative and different from what I normally watch. Nice job (:

[hardcorefan25]

This song really puts me into deep thought. Idk what it is about it, it just gives me these thoughts about the future and when I grow up. Random huh!

[cor3gaming]

you have literally given me a new creative passion.

thankyou.

[OffentligToalett]

This was the first video I ever favorited on Youtube, and it's still my favorite. Hands down. I don't know what it is, but I just love it. SO much.

[tandrampb]

how did you film while he was biking ? thats awesome x)

[Stefan1465]

What shoes are they ?  might sounds abit weird :L

[t3trojans]

That's so sad, I wonder what colour he thinks his bell-end is?

[xXraimenXx]

Dude. AMAZING vid. I love the potential that you show through your videos, definitely subbing. :D

[mynewrisingsun]

Its weird, I find i can't differ between green and blue sometimes.

[AllTimeAesthetic]

REALLY GOOD! And you're right about the colorblind fact - it doesn't mean you can't see colors, it means that your eyes can't see certain colors or can't differ between two close colors.

[MTRVIDS]

This is amazing absolutly breathtaking, when your a director you should make a movie intirely like this! I pretty sure i spelled two words wrong.

[ImaParamoraholic]

I love love love 1:25-1:47



[ThatsMrMoronToYou]

Every time I see it I like it all over again.

[EricStrifflerVids]

@ThatsMrMoronToYou :)

[mrfrobros]

this is really good

[smackie12]

OH0 And Eric, you've got nice looking friends ! :)

[smackie12]

Nice camera work, nice

[cdhitman550]

narly bike

[arokEF]

i like it!

[ILoveGaara15]

this vid is cool u have alot of talent for shooting vids.

[TheFakeChannel]

wow you shot this really well :D

[maybeitsapandemic]

Great concept, but not loving the.. I guess the way it was interpreted or put together. The bike tricks seemed pointless, and I do think it would've been better in black and white (but maybe not, because thats a bit obvious?). But that's just my opinion.. I really do love your videos. Just felt like I should put my opinion out there.

[HebrewHamm3r927]

I really enjoy this

[SamuelFTWBlood]

Dude... I... No matter how many times I watch this video, I still love it!!

[iousup]

that dudes bike's too attentionwhoringly bright for just a bunch of oneeighties

nah jk, was quite chill

[finfo5]

This video has actually inspired me, it shows you have a lot of talent, i hope to make some good videos like this :)

[steelmonkey99]

That was amazing .

[blueblade50]

bike cheak. bike cheak!!

[0122738254]

wow... that was really good :) i felt it

[robotronfilms]

awesome camera work

[xAlluringAngelx]

OMG I swear I was in that area one day... It's fun watching a youtuber who lives in the same place as I do. ^-^ Long Island ftw. xD

[ThatsMrMoronToYou]

I can never grow tired of this video.

[blakethecracka]

sweet tricks on the bmx

[rushnerd]

Very well shot.

[thepokemanzchannel]

I love this so much. <3

[stillxstandingxshort]

this is shot very well! nice camera work!

[clawrence92]

I love this video... it is out of your norm, but I loved it. It was more artistic and thought provoking, I guess, but it was so cute when he put the note in her door!! It was a very sweet video, and I really liked it... it deserves more credit than it's gotten.

[carolyne1217]

Beautiful....Enough Said, You have an amazing eye :)

[Leygoes]

Cute ;)

[zxBludShedxz]

@EricStrifflerVids He doesn't understand what it is he can't understand. My god..we have a conundrum ! o_O

[punk144157]

Wow Eric did an amazing job directing this! This video is actually pretty sad. Keep up the good work!

[nadednation]

great bmx skills awsome vid

[earlyfailures]

this dude has a really laid back style, i dig it

[KingdomofConnor]

For some reason, an idea just hit me out of nowhere (I've watched this like 20 times). I think that the guy is in love with his girlfriend, but she's going away soon. They get into an argument about it just 2 weeks before she leaves and stop talking to each other. Eventually, he realizes that the fight was stupid and tries to remind her how much they love each other with the picture. And at the end, his girlfriend's mom or friend or someone calls him asking him to come over and talk to the girl.

[eriesilence1]

Did you sing this Eric?As a cover?

[thesk27]

pretty good at riding, that 180 to half cab out over the fence was pretty decent

stoked that its to between the buried and me aswell

[MichiganMusician]

Nice. I really like the guitar in the song

[lovsurfing122]

im srry but i rlly dnt get this video.... what is it saposssed to be, like his girlfriend died or somthing??? oh eric plz explain!!!!

[1zombie1princess]

really sweet :)

[shannon088888]

i think its a sweet video

[alyssad377]

eric -

I've been watching your videos for some time now, and i must say i was very impressed with this video. For the carnival one, I liked that you played with the focus; it kept me interested. However, I agree that a few small things need work, like the fireworks focus switch, but overall good job. It's so refreshing to see someone my age pursuing a passion of film and doing a damn good job at it. Keep up the great work, and I can't wait to see you succeed professionally in the future.

[mbrd06]

cool video.....

[ToyMashene]

that was a really nice fakie

[booger92597]

I dont get it at all but for the whole video i was like DUDE HOW DO U GET AIR LIKE THAT!!???!?!?!?

[mbrd06]

this was cooool..i like>

[maybeitsapandemic]

His world isnt colorful unless he's with her. Thats what I think.

[TheSweetGal1]

Tell us what the phone call means? :) please?

[Enjoiyourtrip]

@TheSweetGal1 I'm guessing it was from the girl..

[ToyMashene]

he has a good fakie

[tcddc4]

Boy pull up your damn pants

[SmallTownSongstress]

this was super cute! I loved it

[xojess11]

i love this:) I like how it ends

[iplaytheguitar73]

how does this only have 100 thousand views..this is honestly one of my fav videos on youtube

[r2koooolmi]

omg this guy is amazing at bmxing great vid and biking

[lovsurfing122]

im sorry but i rlly dont get it, is it sapossed to be like his girlfriend is sick and she dies??? idk, thats what i got from this

[HopefullyKaty]

Eric Striffler, you really need to be a director. All you videos are amazingly edited and directed. I am very impressed. :) Good job!!

[princessaseel]

LOL this video has nothing to do with being colorblind, the song is called Colorblind...people are so stupid sometimes lmaaaoo!

[couchpotatokid05]

I watched this video when it was first posted last year, and I didn't understand it. Just watched it again, and I still don't understand it. I want to say it's meaningful, but I'm not sure why. I know it has something to do with the fact that he turned around at the end of the video...can someone please explain?

[lukegllcc]

@couchpotatokid05

did you notice how the colors got more vibrant as he rode away in the end?

[couchpotatokid05]

@lukegllcc Oh, no I actually didn't. But what does that mean? And who was on the phone?

[lukegllcc]

@couchpotatokid05

remember he put a picture of him and his gf in an envelope and put the envelope in her door iwht "I miss you" written on it? she's the one who called him. and i don't know what the color thing at the end meant, maybe once he get's to hang with his girlfriend his life doesn't feel as dull anymore (?) idk.

[casekid123]

what kind of bike is that

[HardcandyUploads]

Black and white would make 100 times more sense.... in case you didnt know, washed out isnt colorblind, B&w is colorblind.

[EricStrifflerVids]

@HardcandyUploads Well... in case YOU didn't know, colorblind isn't just B&W. The kid in this video ironically IS colorblind, and he only can't see purple correctly. You should probably at least research things to see if you're correct before you spew out stupidity so matter-of-factly.

[SpoonInvasion]

@EricStrifflerVids owned :)

[ozzyboy3]

@EricStrifflerVids or it could have been a music vid for the song "colorblind"

[Shishawunder]

@EricStrifflerVids hm black and white would make 100 times more sense :D i dont care about some special types of colorblinds

[wafflecraft]

@HardcandyUploads you my friend are an idiot, research facts correctly before shouting out like a moron. Thank you.

[MrNicoAug]

@HardcandyUploads Dude color blindness isn't about seeing only black and white... In fact that is the rarest. From what I know, there is complete color blindness, Blue-Yellow color blindness, and Red-Green color blindness, and people may have different combinations of what colors they see and can't see and their intensities.

[RAWRMeansiLoveU88]

@HardcandyUploads ummm thats not really true. color blind can be confusing many different colors; for example my friends can't tell the difference between green and red

[ThatsBooji]

@HardcandyUploads my cousin is colour blind but he can still see some colors... like his favorite color blue

[AuzzyDeeProductions]

Great video, I like the wash out look to it. Really sets a mood

[ReconDTD]

As an artist myself, you are brilliant at doing this You capture emotion

with the smallest detail...

Wow, seriously

loved it... What camera did you use?

And what editing program?

[JoRdAnIsToCoOlFoRyOu]

this isnt rly related to the vid but how to you get to make ur bke rie backwards wthout the peddles spining?

[KingOfDouchebags]

I think this is a well put together video. The song and video complimented each other nicely.

[aking1216]

this video is better than blueloser18...i like dis video

[Broly9512]

he will be right where? x]

[justcallmebebo]

Easily this is really good. I like the editing also the direction.

[ILUVCONVERSE96]

I really like the video, it's inspiring and it makes you think of things in a whole new way, Really great job (:

[SamuelFTWBlood]

Amazing... It made me want to cry, though I'm not sure why... No, that's not a lie, I'm just rhyming on the fly... Lol, truly great, though...

[yonner490]

suprisingly good. 

[herobabe69]

wow amazing tricks :) and good work i really liked the vid :D

[heatherness1993]

nice job. :)

[sarahxboxbeara]

i really love the way you filmed this, the angles and such, it's beatiful

[theanaarzate]

i don't get it....

can someone please explain...?

[drewx123]

@beccajonas15 how could it make u cry, no offense intended.

[benzkaykay]

This is VERY different from what yuh do, but i do love it!! When i first seen it i was speechless, i cant even begin to explain how i felt.. Its so inspiring!! Im just glad yuh actually took the time to film it, good job!! Great song choice by the way!! When are yuh planning on makin more videos like this??

[kill3r9898]

sick bike

[CliffordKingVideos]

Definitely your best video. You need to do more like this. Actually, you should start making short films in general. I think you'd do a nice job. "Colorblind" is a good start.

[LetTheFlamesBegin5]

aww i love it. i could watch this video all day

[MovieTime13MT]

Lol! Do you have another video like this? It is do Amazingly Perfect!

[raygun6060]

I dont get it. can someone explain?

[PensPittsburgh]

your sexy ;)

[NiallR1991]

I'm gonna respond to this as I would any video which has been left "open to interpretation". Firstly, I don't see how this is "inspiring", or "amazing" in any way. It's a series of shots of a man on a bicycle, over sad daunting music. If this was a video posted by someone who wasn't already established on youtube it wouldn't reach 1,000 views. Not a very good attempt by someone who would consider themselves an artist. Just my opinion :)

[EricStrifflerVids]

@NiallR1991 Well the amount of views isn't really important because there are plenty of amazing videos on YouTube that have less than 1,000 views. There's certainly more to it than what you described, but that's fine. I respect your opinion because everyone takes something different out of it I suppose

[BRPhillis]

@EricStrifflerVids Yeah, I don't think he was seeing the full, how should I say it? Purpose, or Inspiration, behind the video... But the film in my opinion is great, it has more of a metaphorical, sense to it, rather than what some people are taking as, literal. Either way, great video! And the intro to the film festival was great!

[masterofgnargnar]

@NiallR1991 dont be a douche. its dumb people like u that dont respect things like this so go off now an watch some reallty show on mtv or somthing

[shannyflips88]

This is so amazing, I could seriously watch it all day and get just as (if not more) amazed each time!

[superhotpink17]

aww, i loved it alot. =]

[Marg1095]

Eric you're great! I was wondering what kind of camera you have and what editing software you use? I love film and I hope to be a director one day, and my camera is okay, but it's pretty old, and I use iMovie '09, which isn't bad- I really like it, but if you have any tips it would really help and I'd greatly appreciate it:)

[ukeman500]

wow! that's all i can saw..WOW!! you have a great talent and should use it in videos like these more often ( but your other vids are still great!!)

Question: What were you riding on when filming this because when the camera moves behind and in front of the bike its really steady??

[TheMeatballCat]

@bodhipuppy

*vote up*

[MarkIsCharmed]

Very inspiring.. Whats the song :')

[aydyar08]

I am considerably older than you are, but you are giving me considerable inspiration! Great work. Glad I found you.

[TheMeatballCat]

BTBAM does a great cover of this.

Fantastic video.

[jennifermgilbert1995]

oh i really like this one. i favorited it thats how much i like it. A+

[BelieveInFate]

Very well done sir. It's good to know you dabble in these kind of videos and not just follow the movie industry info. Keep doing what you do Eric. :D

[mikey456s]

what does this have to do with being colorblind?

[EricStrifflerVids]

@mikey456s You're thinking too literally.
