Morning In Suburbia

This is a video meant to follow last week’s “Morning In Tiburon.” Too bad that one didn’t work out. It was way better than this one.

    I love this! It’s lame but it’s amazing! Sometimes you really hit the sweet spot. Flippant can really bring on some good stuff. I dunno, maybe you’ll think I’m crazy.

    I totally disagree, I think the videos quite cool. Personally I would have brought the volume down a bit on the music.

    Hey this one didn’t show up in FireANT — the others that you posted today did. Check the feed for this (in wordpress admin world). Is there something wrong with it??

    Moments like these can seem slow and empty of interest when shown alone. Cut that into the middle of a bigger piece, as a moment to think about the crazy things that happened just before this moment, and it can be a beautiful, restful, relaxing moment to take in all of the info that’s come from the movie as a whole. Also, you could speed this up 2 or 3 times faster and then you’d see a more dramatic rendering of how much our sky does change.

    I fixed the Feedburner problem. That’s the second time I’ve had a problem with WordPress and Feedburner. I fixed it by manually added the video as an enclosure (WordPress has a box for this). I guess you can also just add “rel=enclosure” to the link to the video.

    Also you guys are right about the video. I was just dissapointed in comparison to the one I had made last week in San Franscisco. That thing looked amazing, like something from Koyaanisqatsi.

    I’ve got another one planned for later this week – “Morning In Harlem.”

    lame my ass! if Godfrey Reggio can have like 10mins of the same landscape in Koyaanisqatsi, even with Philip Glass’s music, and that’s beyond compelling!… this is far from lame.

    This was like a shorter, bearable Koyaanisqatsi. I didn’t get Koyaanisqatsi. It was long and boring, in my eyes, and made me want to get up and turn off the TV, but my artistic girlfriend wanted to watch it so I left it on.

    Verdi, this one was not lame. I think it had all the cool parts of Koyaanisqatsi in a much shorter time frame.

    why does everyone have to be a big fat liar and say that this was good?
    you know it sucked.
    you can only try try again
    and stop lying about the tiberon timelapse verdi
    i was there and i know you never even woke up early to do that. the shame, the shame.

    The idea behind Koyaanisqatsi is a good one, but I think it could have been done better. For me, juxtapositioning only works well within a cohesive piece, not so much when it’s the meat of the entire film.

    As for this little shit nugget…Jesus, Verdi. Take your pants off or something.

    I live in San Antonio. I’m crazy about videoblogging though and so I’ve done some traveling this year to meet other videobloggers. I spent the month of April in New York and I’m there now. This time it’s because we’re writing a Videoblogging Hacks book for O’Reilly.

    Oh, man, this was great! I love the subtitles and the timing of the music to ‘the sun is up’.
