Thanks a lot Whoopi! :-)

That was a really wonderful story. I've had that happen so many time in my life where I would meet someone for the first time, but there was just something about them...something really special, some deep meaningful connection that was absolutely indescribable. And I have these feelings with people that I have platonic friendships with, I can't wait for the day it happens and I know that would have fallen in love with this person.

The world is more beautiful with dreamers like us. :-)

no epic explosions this time, but soon. Unfortunately, now that my camera has died, I shall have to wait a little longer to make videos, or maybe get this fixed or borrow one. Technology is such a pain in the ass.

Take care Paul!

Oh wow...that sucks. I hope you're able to get it fixed soon. =(

I had an idea of what text I wanted to have. I jotted them down in my moleskin while I was at church. (eh he). Then I came home and tried to make images to match them. (While I wrote the text I had images in mind, because I just shot in my backyard). However...when I went to shoot....my camera just stopped working. First the digital artifacts then the screen shut down and it wouldn't turn on. So I didn't get that much footage. Then I realized that the things I had written didn't match at all. At first it was going to be a bunch of questions...like a little kid asking questions about things....but then I realized that didn't work and it looked dumb. So I edited first and when i finished editing everything I watched it like 50 times and had a word document open next to it. I just typed what I felt or saw. Then I recorded the audio...so painful. Having to listen to your own voice is....sooo painful.


As for the grass. It had been raining recently, punctuated by hot blazing sun...so the grass actually did that to itself. When you walk on different patches of grass in my back yard, the colors change. :-)


Thanks so much Doctor. :-) Have a great week.

hahah i thought about the tag after i saw your photograph video, and i said to myself, "oh shit, yeah i remember I was going to use that tag from now on."

Thanks so much M. Maybe this summer my little ant will find its way to your little ant.

(i was watching the video play through while i recorded the audio because I didn't want to have to chop it up later...haha)

You bring sunshines to my days!<3

Cat Anderson? What are you doing here? Other than purring around and getting kitty litter on everyone's videos. Hhaha. That sounded negative, but it is quite endearing.

I'm glad cats and dinosaurs can be friends on Vimeo.

:-)

^_^ meow.anderson.

I totally agree with Eric - this *is* what makes Vimeo different. Loved the video :)

Such wonderful friends you guys are.

Thank you so much Haidar. I hope all is well with you :-)

Take care. Have a great day!

Thanks so much! Making a leap of faith by using something with my voice and appearing in a video...two things I really hate.


Cinematographer...behind the camera...not in front of.

haha

Haha I think you are/can be. I wish I knew more german. Hee hee. Sometimes I'm scared that what I say comes out too emotional or sentimental. Or that I knew better words, or could express myself in other ways. still trying to figure that out.


:-)

Thanks Cammy wham city!

we have some catch up to do.


Yeah The camera thing sucks. but i still have my photo camera, so i can do some stop motion.

If i'm not too lazy.

haha


But i'm trying to find out whats wrong with them so i can fix them soon..hopefully. I may die without it. Actually not really, it'll be an excuse to get out and live a little.

Thank you Dylan :-)

Thanks so much. It was...interesting to make, to say the least.

:-)

Eh...ha thanks Martin. I'm weird.

haha

My shoes say hello to you

*click click*
*dance dance*

Thank You Erwin...yeah brave is correct...I hate hearing my voice or seeing myself on camera. haha.

Your Avatar is very cheery :-)

Take care

!

Oh why thank you Sam. :-) hope your day is filled with fantastic beams of sunshine and dancy feet.

Christopher...you are so sweet to me. Sooo sweet. like candies. the flavourful kinds.


haha i would never say such vulgar things..

haha just kidding.


Only climbing the trees to compare breast sizes.

ahaha

You are very kind to say such nice things. I am grateful :-)

hahaha

you are so nice Jon. You make me smile. You're such a cool vimeo friend.

haha...unfortunately, I'm not good enough to be anyone's sifu.


Thank you for your very generous/kind words. They are really sweet to me.


The key to all my videos...

is to just film
what i see.


and let it do the work on its own. :-)

Haha...that's a pretty intense quote....but I guess somewhat true. Well especially in this video. I feel really vulnerable because I used my voice and appeared in this. I don't know if that makes sense...but I first uploaded this and had it private and didn't know if I should make it public. But now it's out...and you all know what i sound like/look like...especially with my thick thick mustache (i need a shave).

hahaha


Thank you for your kind words Mr. Hokanson. Have a pleasant weekend!

I've been wondering why your films resonate so much with me (and obviously with SO many others) and I think what it is is that you have this incredible ability to capture the essential and very honest beauty of a moment or series of moments. I want to be able to do the same; to create videos that make people feel for the time they're watching it and long after that life is/can be soft, sacred, beautiful, moving...

I must say that by watching your videos, I have been inspired to new heights of appreciation and that quite likely 20 years down the road I'm going to say that Karen Abad was my first and foremost inspiration in video. I can't even begin to thank you enough for being that kind of catalyst.

This is the nicest thing I've ever been told...so nice I blogged about it. haha.

You are really really kind. And are inspiring to me. I thank you from the bottom of my heart. :-)

Oh Leslie,


I thank you for your generous words. Thank you for taking the time out to watch my videos. It means a lot to me.

Thank you and have a profound day!

Oh Dipta, thank you very much.

You are too kind.

Doing these is like doing stream of consciousness...you just write what you see/feel and go with that.

:-)

Take care

hahaha of course you were. you're my friend too!

You know how inhibited us Brits are!

Ayz!!! Watch your language?!?!! Watch your Fing language. hahaha. You are too kind to me. Coming from you, this is a HUGE compliment. Thanks friend!

Je T'aime Matthew.

hee hee thanks buddy!

Nolan (i like your name)....hush you...this videos are not special or out of the ordinary. Just look at things around you and shoot. Hopefully some sort of inspiration will come in editing. Haha that's what I hope at least when I do my videos.

Thank you for watching this :-)

haha yeah, Charlie should consider himself lucky...haha.


Thanks so much Amenon! :-)

so connected to you and Iain right now

hee hee <3

thanks wobs.

no no.


Nooooooooo.


nononon.


Negatory.

Nopes!

Thanking you :)

hey wobletta..i haven't talked to you in a couple days. i hope you're doing alright.

<3

aww thanks leonel

Thank Arin, I haven't talked to you in a while...how've you been? (not that you'd remember me from like months and months ago)

Do I are Miranda July? haha... was this supposed to be..Do I like her? If so, yes. She's pretty swell.

:-) Have a wonderful evening.

I wish i didn't hate my voice, because I'd like to watch this video again, but i can't really because it makes me feel comfortable to hear it. I shouldve had someone else read the text i wrote. haha


But more related, yeah I pay careful mind to connections i make with people.

personally i think you reading the text makes the video what it is. wonderful!

and i hate my voice to haha. i think just about everyone does. its a human habit

haha something else..what are you looking for?

Sometimes I wish there was a way to rotate or circulate my older videos that get buried by the newer ones. Or maybe just not make so many. haha


<3

that's very sweet of you to say, thank you diomidis.
