Looked like one awesome trip. I'm sure the driving was exhausting, but I'm sure you saw some beautiful scenery.
Mike Hedge 3 years ago

thanks Ben!

That was fantastic :)

Once again Mike, you prove once again given a camera you are a genius. Not an Apple Genius but a genius anyway. Did I see Kevin Rose in one of those shots? Well best short of what seemed like a great time in Austin.

Yeap! I saw Kevin several times! :)

At 00:03 what kind of shotgun mic is that and where can I buy it! :)
mike ambs 3 years ago

Hey Mike :) I'm the guy holding the camera at the :03 mark, that mic is a CS-1, you can check it out here urltea.com/2yl3

It's an amazing mic - I love it.
Michael Brodner AKA Bones 3 years ago

Jesus!!! You payed 800 bucks for that thing?
Michael Brodner AKA Bones 3 years ago

This is seriously amazing man. I love this piece. Did I spot Chris Gore from G4TV and MDot in there somewhere? I love the shots where you are all walking and playing pinball. Great great job man I can't say enough about this.

thanks. ya Chris Gore rocks... and mdot was there.

Christopher Galasso 3 years ago

very very nice.
Christopher Galasso 3 years ago

On second though, I'm going to say it was more than very nice. I loved how I never felt lost in the chaos due to the repeating themes, like the cell phones, and the sparse moments that seemed more animated than just rapid fire images. The kiss at the show was amazing as well as the makeshift stereophotogrammetry at the table (aka 'bullet time', with the frozen gestures and moving camera).
I fully appreciate this piece in its entirety.
Mike Hedge 3 years ago

thanks. great comment! thank you.

Karsten Meinich 3 years ago

Very nicely put together; and I second Christopher Galasso's point about the recurring themes (like iPhones) and campfires (or what it is). It works well.

So, thanks for that. I've never been to SXSW, so that proves it is a nice mood piece also for those who weren't there.
Hans Watson 3 years ago

It is rare to find someone who attends SXSW for interactive, film and music. Usually people seem to be there for interactive/film or for music. It is hard to convey the feeling of the festival from beginning to end with the shift halfway through to music but this video does that wonderfully.

Thank you for letting us see your trip through your eyes, it was wonderful.
Mike Hedge 3 years ago

thanks. it sure was a busy 2 weeks

That was visually awesome! I had to strategically blink not to miss a thing. Great story!
Scilla Andreen 3 years ago

That is the Original Digital road trip and by far the shortest and most fun drive from LA to Texas I have ever experienced.

Thanks for shooting and sharing.

Tom Lowe 3 years ago

Wow, really awesome, dude. I feel like I was there! I've been thinking of shooting a music video for a rapper I know with my DLSR shooting jpeg bursts. It was cool when it transitioned to the people walking on the street, and it almost looked like video. How exactly was that shot?

BTW, don't think I didn't see that Ron Paul sign near the end. Go Ron! hahahhaa.
Mike Hedge 3 years ago

great idea. we shot a whole short film like that.... I have had the plan for the music video in the plans for a while... I'd love to help, let me know

This would look amazing in a film.

This video make me feel so sweetly-sad... the music , your point of view, the portraits.
It's a wonderfull way to remember&communicate what u felt!
I'm waiting for another moment of your life :) !
kruzer 3 years ago

Oh, man!
I am dizzy as hell after watching this movie.
Am not saying that it's bad, but let me say this;

If the CIA can use your movie on terrorist prisoners, then we'd have a confession within 20 minutes :)
If not, roll it again.
I guarantee that they will see again what they ate last time.
Seriously.
I almost did.
I get motion sick real quick on boats too.

However your movie it's good art, am just not sure I want to see it again.
Seriously :)
