This has to be one of my favorite docs to ever come into existence. The passion and love that Treb has for what he does and how infectious his spirit is, truly fills my heart. He absolutely put a tear in my eye and a lump in my throat. Thanks to Joshua Charow and crew for creating and sharing this moving piece.
I live in Finland and have seen this on TV so many times over the years. Working as new every time. I think there is roll of paper and it turns with blade and get cutted, but it wasn't so simple. I think there was 1 display at some 30y ago, now there is family of those.
This is incredible. The story, the camera angles, the backstory and the magic you captured. I could have watched a whole hour of this! Please keep making videos
holy crap this guy is good at making documentaries. I looked at the sub button, then I saw (at this point in time) that he had just under 10k subs. What? Needs to blow up. The creator of these masterpieces should be proud of their work. These are amazing. Quality, humanity, music, story I mean this guy is gooood. they have my sub and I will be waiting expectantly and patiently for their next pieces. Can't say enough good things. Thank you.
Wow thank you so much for the kind words!!! Already planning out my next few videos. All this recent support has been incredible and a huge push to continue making them.
Let this thing spread for a year. 2023 will be an interesting year for Treb as he tries to deal with a flood of people wanting to toss confetti. I, like many probably, had always assumed it was done by the city. The fact that it is volunteer mixed with all the heart displayed in this film, I suspect they will be crushed by the response of people wanting to participate this year.
I think this is so wholesome because it’s people. Always thinking that it was machines and now finding out that it’s people is so moving because it’s just such a human experience to celebrate things together and the fact that it’s people bringing this huge part of the joy is just so wonderful.
The last shot is so beautiful. Treb's smile, along with all the confetti flying around him shows that he truly just wants to make people happy. I did leave with a tear in the eye and a lump in the throat. So excited to see all of your projects going forward!
congratulations Treb for brining the magic to the world over the last 30 years in Time Square or NYE. The balloon industry thanks you for creating balloon decor at events. Your story is such an inspiration to dream big and create magical moments.
@@Crusadezzz everything’s “biodegradable” meaning they break down but this stuff breaks down leaving all kinds of crap in the ground and doesn’t need to happen for a good celebration
while watching this most recent ball drop, i was wondering how they do the confetti! i love how much work gets put into the little things (but hugely known) of this world wide known tradition that makes people happy. this is something. i really want to do now. i love volunteering, i love bringing joy to people, i love new york, and times square, and traditions. this is on bucket list now
I'll admit - I've gotten this video recommended to me a few times before, but I never ended up clicking on it, until I clicked on your pool cleaner video, thought it was stunning and then saw that you were the same person who's made this video and honestly - what a mistake it has been not clicking it until now. It is absolutely amazing - I absolutely love everything about it - the cinematography, the scenes, the lighting, the editing, the audio, the EVERYTHING about it! It is phenomenal - please keep on making these
Who ever is behind these videos, you deserve way more subscribers and your own show on Netflix. The cinematography and storytelling is the best I've seen on TH-cam.
I'm actually crying to how insanely beautiful this is. This makes me not only want to come back to New york but also volunteer my own time to help this stay magical every year. My first ball drop event was back from 2011-2012 event and I recently came back for 2023 ball drop. I loved it and I did shed a tear because of you guys who made this the best moment of my life. I'm Deylin, I'm a young boy who grew up in New York and I love New York with all my heart.
tears as soon as treb said "if you could get a tear in the eye, a lil lump in the throat, thats all the better." appreciate every intricate shot, such beautiful storytelling!!
A beautifully put together documentary that had me entranced from the beginning. I love and adore Treb's childlike enthusiasm and joy at the happiness of others. He is a wonderful and infectious human being. Thank you!
I got a tear in my eye (okay quite a bit more than a tear) and a lump in my throat watching this. Thank you Treb for the joy that you spread - it can't be replaced. what a beautiful story - so well done.
Alright, so, I see everyone is discovering you rn, and tbh, I had no idea you were a passion project channel. I watched the memorial site cleaning video I think a few months after it came out, and the imagery has stuck with me since. I had to pause that one the first time around because it was legitimately breathtaking. I think I clicked off to something else because I was in research mode, and I never realized you were a small channel. The cleaning vid was again reccomended to me by TH-cam (and has been a persistent reccomendation for days), and I finally clicked on it again. I thought, strange, I imagined this video would have more views by now seeing how beautiful it is. I went to the comments, and I see EVERYONE is newly watching and you are responding, explaining your channel and giving thanks. This one was highly recommended by fellow commenters, so I went to your channel and was still somehow shocked to find that this is indeed clearly a passion channel. I'll have to watch your other videos now, because I loved this one too. I'm so glad the TH-cam algorithm blessed you because I didn't realize how cool you are until the second viewing. I figured I should add my two cents here as well since I'm not sure if I ever commented on the other video, and you certainly deserve it. Even if the views slow again, half a million on some videos is definitely not shabby at all. I think you mentioned in comments you lost your passion for a while, so I just wanted to say that it's ok. Love can come and go, but as long as you never forget how it feels, you'll be ok. I know I'll never forget the cleaning video and this one. ❤️
Wow. Treb is such a humble man and this is amazing. He went years going unrecognized just to create the most magical night of the year that we all take for granted. THANK YOU, Treb and everyone involved. I would love to join in for a year someday ❤️
Wow really loved the quality of this documentary-from the storyline to the actual production of it, everything was great! Being a volunteer for this is now on my bucket list!
This was beautifully done!! We watched twice and both times tears shed down my face instantly!!! I’ve never cared to celebrate New Years but after this, we’re adding it to our bucket list! Thanks for a wonderful documentary!
Normally i dont comment on TH-cam videos, but i was really stunned seeing this short doc. Seeing the happiness and passion Treb when he and many other hero's are making new years eve just a little bit more special. Thank you Treb, thank you LimeLight!
This reminds me of a good ol' AP English teacher I had last year. His humor, posture, and friendliness was exactly the same. Sadly, he passed away halfway through our school year, but he has a legacy that can never be surpassed by another staff member. His charm captured everbody's attention. Everyone in F hall could hear his jolly laugh from their own classrooms. So when we came back after Winter break and that laughter was gone, you could imagine how strange it felt for everyone. Thank you for such a great documentary, and for providing me with a reminder of one of my favorite English teachers.
This is wild! Never would have imagined the confetti was released by hand. Oddly, must be a great feeling being one of the people to orchestrate this. New years in NYC is watched worldwide and the confetti is a staple for the celebration. Awesome!
Thats closing statement was BANG on. I had just audibly said "Wow" at my desk and felt emotional with a tear in my eye and lump in my throat. He called it! Lovely documentary.
Jeremy - to this day, I do not know where that closing statement came from - a gift from God for sure - had never said that before, it just came out of my mouth...
It's January 4th and idk why but this made me tear. I'm 40 years old and I just learned this (about the confetti throw). Great documentary. Next New Year's I will appreciate more that moment. Happy New Year 2024 everyone!!!!!!
Never thought that a simple thought like confetti falling from the sky at the NYC ball drop would have such a cool and emotional story to it. Good job LimeLight.
What is this...wait, am I crying?? This was simply a beautiful piece. Very well done. Goes to show that it's not always about shocking content but thoughtful storytelling and production. Makes me wish I lived in NYC and I want to be a confetti thrower someday. Added to my bucket list.
Found this on TikTok-what a compelling story! It brought tears to my eyes. Thank you for sharing your documentary with us! The buildup showing his inspiration from Disney and the wonderful spirit he embodies was showcased beautifully by your skill.
They mentioned the story again tonight. What a wonderfuly done piece on it. Sometimes it's about finding your way to brighten humanity a bit, and leaning in.
I love the dedication this man have to giving people a bit of magic even if just for a minute or two. We need more people like him in this world. I also loved the way this documentary was shot, the visuals, the storyline, the magic of the directing overall. Please keep up the good work, as I am excitedly waiting for the next one.
Thanks so much Benjamin! That's incredibly kind of you. I've just released a new video and would love your thoughts on it! Have two more on the way as well
I got married in NYC (2015) during Christmas/NYE holidays and brought home confetti as a souvenir. Loved your documentary and the confetti guy. Thanks TicTok.
I'm only 2min into the video but I know everybody loved it and I will too, I just have to say that his voice is really calm, clear and pleasant to hear! Update: I also love how everything (and the city) is filmed, showed and told, the colours, the lights, the angles... good job 🙌 thank you for giving him the recognition, we all can see he is very humble and genuine and the last scene was wonderful, made me tear up a little bit
His energy and high spirits is what makes a job like that easy to come back to every time. Nobody wants to work for the Grinch. They wanna work for the loving grandpa who puts their heart and soul into making it work
I kind of like how confetti breaks video compression. It's one of those things that technology has failed to comprehend, and that you must be there to truly experience.
Video is able to capture confetti it's the digital transmission that causes frame rate to drop dramatically. The compression is what damages the data during transfer.
@@TheNoerdy true files are able to be sent uncompressed but for the majority of folks the increase in quality isn't worth the download time when there's the convenience of instant gratification.
holy crap, great documentary or video, idk what to call it. its crazy you guyes only have 5k subs, i know most of them came from this video but woah, with quality like this you guys should be at the top. keep it up
I bet almost every eye in the world has seen atleast 5 seconds of a Timesquare new years. They all saw confetti that relates to this man and his passion for entertainment and have no clue. Thank you for your years of bringing this world together. Your products alone have put more smiles and cheers than almost anything out there.
I just discovered this channel and I have to say, the artstyle and storytelling is so incredibly good. I have never seen such short but gripping documentaries. Kudos to you and your team, Joshua!
I just got hit by a wave of nostalgia in the way that this documentary carried on the spirit of Great Big Story by highlighting a lesser known, yet intriguing story while also integrating its own unique brilliance in the cinematography, storytelling, and the entire production as a whole. Bravo!
You're about to blow up from this video! Excellent video; just like Vice or any other majors. Literally AAA quality. I don't really comment much, but after having realized how new this channel is, I absolutely had to come back and give credit where it's due because I literally thought this was a huge AAA documentary studio.
For the longest time TH-cam has been suggesting really bad videos to me but I'm glad to say that the TH-cam algorithm is finally working well again! What a fantastic video and definitely brought a tear to my eye. Great work on this you guys! :)
Now.......Let's see a documentary on how all of that confetti gets cleaned up each year. I think that has to be quite a venture in itself, as well. I'm sure that there are pieces of confetti that end up in the strangest of places! (How in the HECK did that confetti end up all the way over here??)
As soon as I saw the confetti for this year, it brought me back to this video. Very admirable work from everyone involved again in making the moment special. Thank you for this documentary.
Wow, this really looks like a full on production grade documentary. I never thought it would come from a channel so small. You're definitely one of the most underrated channels out there, and I know that's a cliché, but I really mean it. This quality of content needs a lot more attention.
Remember the 1986 Cleveland Balloonfest? Same guy organized that debacle. Directly led to innocent deaths and millions in lawsuits against the city in addition to the envirionmental damage. This clown's whole life has been dedicated to throwing trash into the air and not caring about who cleans it up
Incredible story, beautifully put together. You managed to capture the history, community, personality and meaning in a very short amount of scenes. Brilliant.
i like how the confetti boxes has written confetti on it.. and the font they choose to write the confetti word in feels like how the confetti feels like
The heart, magic and essence of quintessential NYE, the dreamiest of all the celebrations. Thank you for sharing this story, I had no idea and it just warmed my heart!
Wow I saw this on my FYP on TikTok. I followed over here. Such a beautiful touching wow documentary! So well done. It made me smile, cry, gave me goosebumps. Thank you for sharing his story with the world!
I read the comments before watching and half way through I still didn't understand what there was to cry about.....well I started crying at the end when the confetti was thrown lol. Good video, good delivery.

Wow... THIS is absolutely amazing... I dont know why we are so emotional over this. just WOW
Your channel is criminally unknown. You deserve so much more viewership with your story and filming.
Thanks so much! I appreciate that
As soon as I saw the confetti for this year, it brought me back to this video. Very admirable work from everyone involved again in making the moment special. Thank you for this documentary.
Who litters 3,000 Pounds of Trash on Times Square By Hand Every Year?
Wow, this really looks like a full on production grade documentary. I never thought it would come from a channel so small. You're definitely one of the most underrated channels out there, and I know that's a cliché, but I really mean it. This quality of content needs a lot more attention.
That's a lot of trash on the streets
That last minute was the most cinematic thing I've seen in a while
Amazing story, but there has to be more talk of environmental consequences. You said the confetti is biodegradable but balloons? Not so much.
Absolutely. He seems like a good guy but I cannot fathom how much pollution and waste he is arguably responsible for.
latex balloons are 100% biodegradable
Remember the 1986 Cleveland Balloonfest? Same guy organized that debacle. Directly led to innocent deaths and millions in lawsuits against the city in addition to the envirionmental damage. This clown's whole life has been dedicated to throwing trash into the air and not caring about who cleans it up
Incredible story, beautifully put together. You managed to capture the history, community, personality and meaning in a very short amount of scenes. Brilliant.
So glad to see this channel getting the attention it deserves!! Congrats on 200k views!!
Finally it’s about time this channel blows up
love the 'Dave Letterman' Laugh!! What an awesome thing to be a part of..... Jealous? 100% Yes.....
He is one of the most under-appreciated Holliday heros
He made those small moments so magical
I was there the first year, 30 years ago. I still have a few pieces of the confetti in a box somewhere.
i like how the confetti boxes has written confetti on it.. and the font they choose to write the confetti word in feels like how the confetti feels like
What an absolutely beautifully crafted documentary about a wonderful man! I look forward to all of your future works.
This was best video I’ve watched in years. Everything from narrative to color was 10/10.
Thank you!
What a colorful experience! It's nice to know about people behind the scenes & how they prepare.
Beautiful, an absolute masterpiece. I wish you guys did a series of interesting jobs with people that are as passionate as this!
That last line he said got me "teary eye with a lump in my throat" simply awsome
Really love the cinematogrpahy, sound design and story telling. And that color grading was so good. Great Work!
The heart, magic and essence of quintessential NYE, the dreamiest of all the celebrations. Thank you for sharing this story, I had no idea and it just warmed my heart!
Wow I saw this on my FYP on TikTok. I followed over here. Such a beautiful touching wow documentary! So well done. It made me smile, cry, gave me goosebumps. Thank you for sharing his story with the world!
All the volunteers get just as much joy as this man. 👏👏👏👍
I read the comments before watching and half way through I still didn't understand what there was to cry about.....well I started crying at the end when the confetti was thrown lol. Good video, good delivery.
