Drive

http://www.mikecelona.net - Dreamlike ride through Rochester, NY during a heavy rain storm as seen through the passenger side window of a car in which the water streaking across the glass causes the landscape to seemingly melt into another world. Features an original soundtrack consisting of multiple layers of electric bass and keyboards fed through tremolo and stereo delay pedals and recorded to analog tape. The video was shot with an (relatively) old Sony TRV-27 standard def mini-DV camcorder and was upconverted to HD for YouTube so that they would allow it to retain more of it's image/sound quality.

Dear Mike, it's a video like this, that makes me stick to U Tube still.... It's a pity that we have to dig our way through tons of ashes (commercial BULLSHIT) to finally find a diamond.

I find the choice of black and white perfect for the atmosphere and moreover it adds a lot of poetry... the length of the whole then brings you really in another world !! I really enjoyed... thanks for sharing..... kisses

Nice effect...did you use Rain-X on the windows to get the sheeting effect? Thanks for sending your video to my email. It was calming....good work.

The Oil companies are trying their best to stop free energy ideas from spreading to common ppl.

We need to put an end to this corruption ,start generating your own electricity.

Look for the LT MAGNET MOTOR in youtube video search. Join the Revolution!!

Fantastic! What a magical job you've done!

dreamlike, meditative - i have watched it many times. it is perfect and i wish it was mine. however, why the central large title/font 'drive' at the start? and not perhaps more discretely bottom right corner or something... i feel the video introduces itself. almost like a snap shot into a sort of surreal existence/world that is recognisable but also, not at all. beautiful.
