Existence

This was a project for my 16mm filmmaking class. I was thinking a lot about life and existence in general at this time, and my friends and I kept staying up all night talking about everything imaginable. It was a very philosophical time in my life and somehow this film came out of it.

this is a really cool video. But i like the music video version more. It helps bring out the film, and give it more of a meaning

@pittshnogle Thanks - I agree!

The cinematography was amazing, and also the ideas you expressed made me think and actually widened my view of the universe... very good vid, dude.

Ahh, man. This Alan Watts lecture totally made me think of the end of Florida by Starfucker :)

This is a fantastic video. The West Coast version is even better.

And you're right, the way I think about it completely changes from fine art to something else. Haha, don't know how to categorize it. But it's completely perfect for that song, down to standing alone in a black coat ;) so good.
