    Perfect! Just what my mind needed; it gave me so many inner feelings, and helped me see in another way. Like the great home movies of the 60's and 70's-ya' that's it.......super8.

  • Paul McArthur plus 1 year ago
    Amazing. Doesn't feel like 10 minutes. I smiled the whole way through, really interesting. Favourite bit was the transition from the RC plane to the rollercoaster. Seamless!
  •  
  • Design By Kai plus 1 year ago

  • Kori Gilliam Adams 1 year ago
    I have to ask, is the clip of the man crashing into a building real? Did he survive? :(
  • Ray Roman 1 year ago
    That was crazy, I loved the transition from that to the roller coaster. I have to ask too, was he paragliding?
  • Chris Beckman plus 1 year ago
    (it's an RC plane)
  •  
  • Ray Roman 1 year ago
    This makes me think of all the videotapes I have that nobody has seen before. I thought this was a great idea!

  • Catweasel 1 year ago
    The real art of #fail. Splendid video and right so given recognition. But actually what intruiged me most were the transitions.
  • Rob McDougall 1 year ago
    I agree. Some of them made me laugh out loud. There's a real emotional punch with this film... It's almost like seeing your life flash before your eyes...
  • Kit Lam 1 year ago
    the downgrade quality and uncoordinated acts, all these make up for an immense effect towards what people perceive as "youtube videos", so great.

  • Keith Rivers pro 1 year ago
    loved the coincidental transitions

  • Peter Atencio plus 1 year ago

  • George Toledo plus 1 year ago
    I think I'm dense, because something based on camera edit doesn't actually seem experimental in any way, shape, or form. This should have won the "clever idea for transition" category ;)
  •  
  • Adria Ghiralt plus 1 year ago
    I think that was one of the best things I've ever seen

  • Nicole M Hamilton 1 year ago
    Linking together high and low frame-rates is PRETTY GODDAMN GENIUS. Those few tweaked frames in-between transitions really makes a difference.
