Oh my goodness. I can't even tell you how much I love this. You need to show it to His House. You'll have the room bawling.

love it :)

OH STEVE! i couldn't agree more. it's the perfect final video for gvsu and i'm so glad i got to witness a lot of these times too.

and anna's right; we'd all be bawling. =]

this is really great! i like how the photos went from black and white to color towards the end. this was great all the way through.

Well, this is about as good as it gets - this was truly fantastic Stephen - bravo! Great talent you have - great talent....

Inspiration found ... here!

cheeeel

whoa. awesome.

I noticed Dan Conway a few times, but no Tommy Valdez.
I am sad now.

Sad... sad...

Sad.

Kidding. It's great as always Steve. I thought the transition from black and white to color worked well. The rich tones were not lost. Great contrast. etc.

Nice work! The colour at the end really is beautiful.

Wow! this is very amazing!!! im in love with it! :)

I'm a big fan of life also

Original stuff Stephen !

I really love it!!!

dear sir, loved it!

This is really well composed steve.
Love it.

yes

Dude, are you kidding me? This was fantastic!

If I may ask, what program did you use to cut this and how long did it take you?

Again, fantastic!

wasn't in any of those pictures, but I still like it.

Wow, this is amazing, truly amazing. It was so engrossing, capturing life, reminding us of all it phases, great great work

moving mini epic. touching and dare i say beautiful

Beautiful indeed. It is amazing what you can do with still images and music. So amazing what you can actually take in...... Come find me, I do it, differently.

this makes me emotional.

which means i like it!

I don't think I have to tell you how awesome that was. I have a feeling we'll be taking a lot of pictures in NY haha

I hope it's not too late or cliche to say that this is beautiful...

Yeah, bit disappointed I'm not in this...super loved it, though.

so wonderful. really.

Nice work, 'like the pace.
Ambience sounds like digifish.

Amazing ! Such a great job ! well done !!

what sort of software did you use to compose such an amount of photos?

and thanks for sharing your art !!

Viva la VIDAAAAAAAAA!!!! aaaaauuummmmmffffffff

ah man this is sooo good. well done.

A very interesting approach. Engaging to the end.

What a way to send a message! Beautifully done, I hung on every moment, hoping to catch a glimpse of everything - it can't be done. Frustration, but sure is life!

Wow! i Loved your piece! the music and everything.. goes so well together!
Gotta say, those pictures starting around 1:43, give a great feel of 70's film images. the colors and everything. is it all about CC, and the rest is the camera? cause it looks just Great! :]

This is powerful. Thanks for doing it! My only thought was that it didn't represent ethnically what most of us in America see everyday; the vast majority of people in the photography were white. Or maybe it was just moving so fast, I couldn't appreciate your inclusion of "all people". I loved it anyway. The music bed was PERFECT! Thanks again for your work.

Stephen- Just awesome work! I love it!

You said you got the sample from freesound. Do you know the name of the sample- I really like it and would love to get my hands on it!?

Thanks so much!

This is beautiful and put a whole bunch of stuff in to perspective for me thiss week. I posted it on Twitter and immediately at least 2 blog posts were written about it!

Thank you,
Kirsty (aka RedFraggs)

Awesome. And truely life is beautiful.

A friend talked about how some Youtube clips cheered him up while feeling a bit glum and I think this too could be quite an important piece of film when we need hope. It's great.

you have shared your life in an excelent and amazing, way, really nice work,.!!

this is great: i found myself staring so hard at the screen to try and notice every picture.

beautiful mate!

I could watch this over and over again. Such a fantastic message through photos!

Life is Beautiful

This is very beautiful to me. I find it very inspiring -- not just in the creative sense, but also in LIVING. :)

i like this.

Wow. I really enjoyed that.

Loved the layout.

Your images are incredible.

pure radness!

Great piece of video art. The irony is that even though you had a frenetic visual pace it was incredibly calming. Good work and very inspirational.

thank you this amazing reminder. here is someone that knows to appreciate what life brings you!

Hi!I'm new in Vimeo and your movie is one of the firsts I saw.
It's really amazing.The most interesting aspect I like is the different "window" in the movie in which you put differents pictures with different effects!!!
Can I ask you which software you have used to make it?
thanks.
cheers,
MT

This was inspiring, affirming, challenging……..awesome! Thanks Stephen.

It's so beautiful.
Thank you

stunning..!!! great idea..!

Stephen, I find myself returning time and again to rejoice in this piece! Pages could be written in an attempt to decode the layers and range of exactly what it is you have been able to capture and release in this simple but yet extremely complex personal piece of video. It gently reminds me of a comment my grandfather used to make in reference to the passage of time. I used to hear him making the comment, "The older I get, the faster time passes me by." As a young boy I couldn't understand what he meant but as a man of 46, it is perfectly clear! Thank you for helping bring even more clarity to such a personal heartfelt understanding!

really unique!

You deeply inspired me dude.

I love it! Sometimes we need to see things like this to put life in perspective:)

very well done

Realy original, outstanding ! That's a load of nice pictures.
Congrats

Beautiful is definitely the right word.
I watched it twice, the second time I kept pausing randomly as it played to see which picture it lands on, had a good time doing it! ha! Thanks for taking the time to share that, I'm sure it took a while. Cheers!

Dazzling.

Great Job on Split Screen Steve!!

I love this.

muy muy bueno!

It's funny someone had to comment on the people being white in it. LOL. Anywho. I thought it was fab. I have to do a life review for a meditation class and this looks like a cool way to do it...
