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.

At 00:03 what kind of shotgun mic is that and where can I buy it! :)

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.

I Declare Genaside Up on you! For Making my mediocre talent look even worse Next your Great talent.
I'm gona go cry now, Great Job.:D

Awesome, I loved it :)

Nice.

brilliant work my friend, brilliant.

Absolutely brilliant. What lenses were you using?

all on the 17-55 f2.8 IS and the 70-300 4-5.6 IS and the 50mm f1.4

very very nice.

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.

I see RED camera, not that uncommon these days I guess.

Beautiful beautiful beautiful.

Wow!

simply amazing.

loved it!

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.

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.

That was visually awesome! I had to strategically blink not to miss a thing. Great story!

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.

Nice, I am diggin' this quite a bit -- always nice to relive it through someone else's perspective. Similar and different from my own all at the same time!

this was very well done mike.

damn cool!

I literally caught myself holding my breath several times during this. Outstanding. My favorite part is the "Mike Spin" with the lights behind you :)

sweet vid.

wow, great job on this! i liked the cops

like it. atmospheric sound. like the mood

I am speechless! You absolutely captured the Spolin acting exercise "no-motion." I will use this as an example to all my students, thank you! Brilliant work...

This was so good man.
Looks like so much fun

Hey, my mates band were playing SXSW, a band from Dundee, Scotland. The Law. Nice little collection of images from the event

…though the fast move from one picture to another sometime gives an headache ;)

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.

I'm a little late....but, that was great:)

Beautiful, I could watch this for days and still catch photos my eyes missed the previous time. Fantastic photos capturing great times in life. Love it.

Beautiful.

wow great video, you see gary vaynerchuk there? haha

Awesome Video!

I love this so much that I "unliked" it and then "re-liked" it so it would be the main video on my Facebook page. But really, this is very well done.

First, I so wish I could have been there, Second. Another amazing job. I'm so impressed.

This is absolutly amazing, I would of never of thought about using photos in that way and its an amazing way of summing up a trip and you picked the perfect music.

This would look amazing in a film.

That is absolutely amazing! I live so close to Austin, I'm really gonna have to go to SXSW sometime.

Btw, what Sony camera are you using at :03?

z1u

Wow. Just wow. I really enjoyed your video and another perspective on the SXSW experience.

Great Job! I love it!
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 :) !

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 :)

Where can I get these drugs... ;-))

Marvelous!

Are they all photos or are there some movie clips in there too? This is amazing. I can't stop watching it and every time i do I get drawn in with the same force. Simply beautiful.

I just watched this again :) I love this video.

how many photos are there?

MIKE!!! I don't think I ever got to tell you this, or maybe I did - but you blew my mind when you showed me this. Gave me a whole new outlook on photo documentation. Thank you, and great work!!
