Rancho Via Nueva

This a is a more solemn video of my trip to Mexico. I especially made this for my family. My grandmother and all her sisters and brothers which lived in Mexico. My grandmother asked me to upload it on YouTube so that she can show people the video.

In this video you will see the home and ranch of my great-grandfather, Mateo. If it hadn't been for him, I would have never made any video about our ranch in Mexico. He bought all the land which you saw in my video and there is still more which you haven't seen. His house, the one you see in this video, was flooded completely when they built a giant lake near it. It is only recently that the house stands above the water surface, after the dam was opened. As you can see it lies in ruins and little remains. Yet to my family it is a hotspot of memories that nearly dates 100 years. I tried my best to capture the emotions of memories from many years past.

I can honestly say that this is one of my favorite videos to watch on YouTube. the tone you set is wonderful.

what was that at the end,it looked like a nest or something anyways good vid!

[garc6347]

yeah that was a nest with birds in it. They made their nest inside the house.

Amazing! although the images of the house were rather sad the music gave a sense of optimism and the images of life at the end show that hope is still alive : ) brilliant! (*favourited*) i hope that more ppl will see this, it was moving : )

I'm so glad, Rotarrius, you captured the mood of the video very well! Destruction will turn into construction and Demoliton will turn to Remodilization.

That's horrible what happened to your great grandfather's ranch. Mexico's govt. is so corrupt. They must be taking lessons from ours.

the view of the lake is fantastic, hope it doesn't flood the home anymore.
