Cameron Christopher proposed a project around Sigur Rós' Glosoli ( vimeo.com/forums/topic:3094 ). This was a real challenge for me to get the right video for the song. Just recently, Sigur Rós started a challenge for YouTubers ( hvarf-heim.com/contest/ ) to use extra clips from the group's documentary in their own video. There was some beautiful imagery, so I decided to pair the two media. I ran out of appropriate footage, so the song got trimmed (hope that's okay for the project!).

    wow wow wow. i plan on watching this at least 10 more times. very nice job, ben! :D

    2:32 is my fav
  • Ben Millett 2 years ago
    Thanks. Going to check 2:32 right now... The quickly changing clips? I'd love to claim that as my own, but that's how the clip came (lots of random shots in one .mov). Although I would like to think that is what I would have done there if I didn't have that clip to work with! Or maybe you mean the calm after the random clips... I totally planned it that way.
  • Pirata718 2 years ago
    i do like the slow build and then the quick clips and then the calm. that shot i just like cuz the picture is pretty. i know its not yours but i just like it lots. thats all. :)

    its all sooo purty,
    you edited this perfectly, in my opinion (my opinion is worth more than other peoples, so nice job)
  • Ben Millett 2 years ago
    Thanks, Obar. I'm on cloud 9 knowing that you have a favorable opinion of this video, especially since it is worth so much. :)
  • Obar 2 years ago
    i imagined your picture saying that comment...
    it really accentuates the sarcasm
  • Ben Millett 2 years ago
    Ha! You're right. I do appreciate the comment, though. Seriously.

    Wow, really nice man. Great use of their footage! IT's seriously tricky to figure out which of those "stomping" beats to switch on.
  • Ben Millett 2 years ago
    Thanks! You're right. So tricky to edit.

    I like it, but it's loading really slow. Probably unavoidable with this size. Or is it my connection ?
  • Ben Millett 2 years ago
    I've found that the HD videos take a little longer to load than the "normal" videos. You could try clicking the "HD is on" button to view the SD version.

    I got it from the project page ( vimeo.com/forums/topic:3094 ), but it looks like someone has indicated that the link is no longer functional.

    It´s great! You are realy good cutter and cameraman!! Could you tell me, what film-camera do you have?
  • Ben Millett 1 year ago
    I wish I could claim the camera work as my own, but alas, I simply used footage that was already created. Sigur Ros made all of this footage available for a contest they were holding. I simply cut it together. I'm not sure what camera they used.
