194. (VIDBLOG) I Just Left - Europe 2008
1 year ago
I spent 11 days in Europe in September. I went without a plan, by myself. All I knew is that I was going to visit Berlin since I had a friend there, and that I needed to fly out of Heathrow on the following Tuesday. Everything between was more or less played by ear.
The first days were lonely, I was lucky enough to meet some cool people at the hostel I was staying at in Paris and traveled with them a bit. Berlin was great since I already knew someone and could easily get to know all their friends. It was just such a fun, spontaneous, adventure. Exactly what I wanted it to be.
The vidblog was edited sequentially, meaning I didn't rearrange any of the shots in time - for the most part it's an accurate, linear showcase of who I met and where I went. Enjoy.

Captures the feel really well! :)
I love you!
This was a surprise video for me. I followed you day by day and thought that you would document the whole trip with your phone.
Did I see a statue of Michael Jackson holding Bubbles?
Awesome VLog, makes me miss Europe.
I shot about an hour and 15 minutes of footage before my battery died.
Yeah, I always feel these need to be watched with good headphones. It puts you more inside of my head.
i didn't mean to pour my soul out, your nostalgic video just struck a chord. cheers
Cheers!
P.S. I live in Manhattan, too!
We're island-buddies!
My island-buddy haha!
You will look at these with more fondness, I'm sure. You will also say "Jesus, did I really think 40 was old back then"? ;-) It's freaky how much your brain stays the same.
I like cutting mercilessly, and wanted this to fit within the time of the song, so quick cuts work well I think. It also capture the rushed feel I had scampering around with only 11 days.
But yes, i'd agree: the editing worked out :)
Thanks.
I don't know if i have told you this, but watching your vidblogs is like remembering your life. absolutely beautiful man.
I am learning all the rules and regulations that are to be followed to make a film that the film snobs will accept. i hope that i never forget how to make videos they a completely different animal. if film is my wife, videos like this will always be my mistress.
Thanks for the memories.
No, actually, my opus is still coming. This was something I whipped up a couple days after my trip. The opus is still in progress. Hopefully I'll make more headway on it in the coming weeks.
I like that you say a vidblog is like memories, that's sort of the concept behind it ... this is the trailer I made for my Season One Vidblogs DVD many years ago that I think you'll enjoy ...

P.S. Berlin and GL-1s are where it's at.
