This about to blow up, feel honored to be here before that happened

'Art is only valuable when other people see it.' UGH so true and why i stopped filming for a long time. I am still struggling to get back on my youtube and I think I need to follow what you are doing which is rules not routine, really epic video and achieved the purpose which is to inspire!

how does this only have 73 likes this is amazing! i wish you well- and i completely relate. im a visual artist and it feels like all my peers are doing everything they can to be seen on social media- sacrificing their mental health and projects they actually wnat to do to keep up with upload schedules, participating in trends when they dont want to etc. i"ve made a decision with myself that im jsut gonna post things on my small blog when i feel like it. nobody really sees it anyway, and somtimes its hard not to internalise that. but i think ive figured out the trick to it. there are a small handful of people i know to be enthusiastic about my work. There is no point busting your guts to appease a huge following (to me at least. but then again, money and income is not involved in my scenario like it is with youtube). To me, I upload things only if i want to. and If i can make that small group of people happy to see it as a bonus then that makes my day all the best

Doing things that we are scared of the outcome really expands our comfort zone and are fulfilling experiences:)

subbed and liked, good luck with/on this video hitting the algorithm. I just found this channel after being recommended this video but have only watched this one (so far). This is some very clean work.

Alllll of this! I have been struggling with the idea of social media as a trojan horse for my writing, and it's almost like a call to con people into being interested in what you do when you can just...be writing and devoting yourself to ideas that are much bigger than what's meant for the people who infinitely scroll as a means to no end. It's been my biggest thorn on this journey and this video confirms that if a tree falls in the woods, it fell and needs no confirmation of it falling.

HOLY crap this video is so good, most underrated youtuber, please remember us when you get huge

Worst thing you can do is let your own rules kill off your enjoyment of making art. That is a very hypocritical thing for me to be saying but that doesn't make it less true. It just means I make bad decisions...

It's better to make 1 video a year that people will remember for a long period of time than force yourself to push content on a constant basis. I'm not sure how people out there manage to do it so consistently without getting burnt out.

Felt this way about music making for almost a couple of years now. I think I've finally reached a breakthrough though

these videos are great every time, criminally underrated.

I'm definitely gonna give thar album a listen! My favorite song in terms of the interplay of lyrics and music has to be the song "fish inside a birdcage" by the artist of the same name. "Paperwork" from the same album is also a really cool example. It starts off with this very light guitar backing followed by a poem? Monologue? Not sure what to call it but it calms me down immediately whenever I hear it. Actually that reminds me of another incredible example: "Westward bound part I - The Lantern" from the album Odyssey to the west by Slice The Cake. It's this incredible performance of what I can only describe as a living poem. It's raw, it's overflowing with emotion. It's everything.

It's something I've been struggling with in my many attempts at making different forms of art. Lately I've been realizing that there doesn't have to be a literal message or meaning. If something calls to you and you just really want to make it, that feeling in itself becomes the message. It doesn't need to be put into words. It can be if that's what feels right but if you can't find the right words, don't force yourself. Youll just be destroying that delicate and vulnerable feeling and end up not liking it anymore. That's how it works for me anyway.

your sub count is a straight up crime. You should have so many more (god tier music taste btw)

This topic came up in a conversation with a friend and it had the same effect on them as on me: we start thinking in an almost freeform poetry kinda way. It's like magic how you fan the glowing embers of creativity into a blazing bonfire.

this 3 minutes felt like an hour

How about you save the nail polish for the women? Freakazoid

[disclaimer that a lot of this comment is word vomit and miscelaneous ramblings] This is an interesting viewpoint, I feel like you'd be interested in Apparatus Film Theory. Even though its focused on cinema, the idea of the use of the "mechanism" of cinema to affect an audience may interest you. Personally, the way I shoot I wouldn't be able to identify with your sentiment here. In high school I wrote an essay about street photography, connecting it to the theory of thin slicing. How Gary Winnogrand left thousands of rolls undeveloped and a curator was only able to create an exhibition of a dozen of these undeveloped photos from rolls that Winnogrand already knew to not have any keepers. Or how Bresson "fished" for moments in compositions he could predict would have a photo in them. I think that's how I live through photography. I tend to remember more vividly the moments leading up to a candid photo of one of my friends. I developed and gave them the photos but I don't' think I ever look back at them that often. I think I thin sliced a feeling or something before I raised my camera. I can't even remember using my camera half the time even though I probably was using my camera half the time. And your bit in the description about recording sound. I've had an interesting revelation recently, I think I get that intense nostalgia that you get from mementos and recordings from the music I listened to at the time. Maybe put a photo together with a song I was really into that period and I could start forming a more accurate association.

Awesome video, keep up the amazing work!

fantastic!

I like this argument!

What did I just stumble upon? I love this

You deserve so much more, incredible video! Currently searching references to make a photobook but this vid made me feel like « I have to do a bigger project, where people connect way more with what I lived in this travel ». Congratulations 👏

great storytelling, keep creating!

I have not seen a video done this well in a long time.. checked a few of your videos and I have to say I love your ability to put visuals and thoughts together. because I had similar thoughts myself but you absolutely nailed it visually as well!

Subbed. Interest viewpoint.

Wonderful. I suppose for me I think of photography as a reality effect. A construction. A feeling. They remind of who we are and who we once were.

this video is beautifully put together. I can't agree completely though. I'm not considering myself a photographer (I've only got my first real DSLR yesterday lol), but I've had a few humble attempts at creating something with my phone when I was out in the mountains. looking back to those photos, I'm actually longing for the feeling of being creative, getting around poles and stop signs to capture the idea I have in my head

I mean...photos never were trying to say whatever the fuck you were trying to say they were.

Nice video, subscribed! The only thing I disagree with is at 1:35 - we DO see noise/grain/whatever - just that we tend to ignore it. Human vision becomes super noisy (and also black and white, for that matter) in the dark at night, and even in daytime if you are in a dimly lit room with a bright window, look into a shadow/on something dark somewhere and you'll see noise.

Kinda makes you think... What even is a memory? Is it the moment? But memories change over time. Photographs don't. Does does a photograph's connection to the memory then fade over time? Does it fail to grow along with the memory? Or does it anchor the memory to reality? Like a chain, forever shackled to the past. An object instead allows a memory to grow and develop organically. But who is to say if that's a good thing? And what does all of this mean for a person like me with a memory so incredibly bad that at least half of my memories are provably false?

The theory of quantum uncertainty doesnt support this hypothisis. However, I guess thats just a theory. Maybe one day we will understand the chaos of quantum physics However, if we dont the unpredictability of the quantum world is a good indicator of free will and a non pre-determined timeline

I would love to see a making of. No idea how this was done.

Even though it's mathematically possible, traveling to the past is extremely unlikely. Mostly due to the possibility of violating causality. But if eventually this type of travel become possible, it would still be deterministic. There no way around it.

Great video.

beautifully made

It's both surprising and completely on brand to make a video about causal determinism 😂.

Art is art indeed

Really hoped you'd bring Laplace's demon at the end 😁. Exceptional quality, as always. Maybe next time, one inspired by atom uncertainty?

Thisischristor, Super~ fantastic uploading~ sleep well.

Just discovered your channel. There’s something really special about your films… they have character, some kind of indescribable and yet palpable energy. You’re very talented! Keep it up!! 😊

Solid Video. I also feel really old because I totally remember Merlin Mann, the internet blog/productivity scene back then, and absolutely carrying a hipster pda for a couple of years.

I’m sad

Well made video, good topic, too little views. This is the place.

The camerawork and use of color and texture really draws me in. Your videos really have something very special. It's not just good cinematography, it's art. It feels a bit strange to apply the word artstyle to the medium of film (since I haven't heard it used in that context before) but regardless, your artstyle really resonates with me.

this feels like a video made by someone with 1M+ subscribes. 500 subs is criminal

I needed that. Thanks Great video!

In the final scene, it's crazy how, without seeing, you know he smiled

Would like to see a video from you about materialism - how that plays into your perspective and art.
