i recommend you watch this in a quiet room and turn your volume all the way up! this is a little video i filmed around the area where i grew up. i hope you enjoy it and have the best week x
No words neccicary. Another beautiful video, made complete by the image alone. I love the way you find the beauty in everything, capture it from your perspective and show it to us so we can see it too. Thank you so much.
wow hey sawyer! Do you guys usually watch a lot of other youtuber's videos or just the ones that catch your eye? Ive always wondered that? And I agree, this video was really cool!!
I agree. His edits & videos like this just keep getting better with time. His Instagram is even more aesthetically pleasing! He's truly an amazing human, one of damn kind. I love you so much Connor.
+ConnorFranta hey Connor u do an amazing job at filming u express so much emotion and creativity u r very talented and u have inspired me to start making artistic videos or pictures u r great at what u do so keep doing if it makes u happy😃
I wish I had grown up in an area like this. My cousins all live far from the city, and it was when I was with them, exploring and experiencing that I was happiest. The endless trees to climb on, the tall grass to lie on, the hay to hide in, the streams to watch, the lakes to paddle in - it all appeals to me so much. On the other hand, however, I know that I am a city girl through-and-through, and I would probably suffer without a Primark near me, good internet signal, or the somehow calming sounds of cars driving past in their dozens every night.
I will gladly move half way across this planet to live in this beautiful place (I live in india) In all seriousness, Minnesota looks like such a calm and peaceful place where you can spend days and it'll feel like hours. And ugh Con you're filmography and photography skills are amazing, it's my goal/dream to be good as you. Keep you the great work Con!
It is a very beautiful place, but the people there aren't the friendliest of folk. I probably wouldn't move back there later in life but I would definitely go visit it to see the gorgeousness of it all.
Oh, it's gorgeous, especially on the North Shore. But then winter happens. And then for close to half the year you're stuck inside because you can't get out of the house because there's six feet of snow blocking you in, or you lose power for days during a blizzard.
whenever I check out a new TH-camr I expect the same type of format (the sit-down and chat/challenge videos) I either fall in love with their personality or lose interest. I never expect to love the type of videos they made because they seem the same with just the difference of the person sitting in front of the camera. This is the first time I kinda realised videos were a form of art. I just wanted to say this is beautiful and I love it!!!!!!
Can we just talk about how Connor can get a bunch of random recordings with no speech, not even music, put them all together and make art. Like this is actually beautiful and it was just a bunch of videos put together but it was still cool af
This is the most boring video i've watched, pretty much every human on the earth could pick up a camera and go film random shots and mash them together into a video, your comment is so kiss ass
connor was the whole reason why i look at things in this world differently. i tend to just stop during walks and take in the scenes around me. i look at the clouds and the flowers and just enjoy its simplicity. i find peace and tranquility from it. thanks con, you taught me to be human
The scenery is one of my favorite parts about being from a small town in Minnesota. There's always somewhere to go to get away from the noise of the towns and cities and just relax, enjoy being alive in the moment.
That place is beautiful. I wish I could live somewhere like that. I live in a desert and it sucks. I have never experienced the seasons, and I never get to see anything green. It's just very dull and quite sad.
You managed to communicate all the little things so well. They are not just refreshing and nurturing, they are healing and connecting you with your inner self. And your movie is one of those that can participate at film festivals right away.
Okay... This is it. This is now my favorite video you have ever made. It's artful and simple and yet speaks volumes to me. Being from Minnesota it put me so at ease and brought me right back to my childhood and gave me so much nostalgia and happy memories of growing up there. Thank you for this Connor. 💛
Hey connor, I hope you read this. I just came out as bisexual, and I just wanted you to know that you've inspired me in many ways. I grew up in La Crescent as well, and graduated in 2016. I'm friends with your cousin Paul, he's a great guy and he sure does love his rugby. Haha but, yes I just was wondering if there could be anyway you could come to La Crescent and watch my speech it would be amazing to have you there. And, maybe do a fan photo shoot and the proceeds go to mental illness awareness. I currently have to drop out of college because my bipolar symptoms got too out of hand and I had to go to hospital. I've missed too much school, but the plan is to go to next fall. thanks for taking the time to read this. And, thanks again for being an inspiration to myself and other fellow Lancers.
I was about to comment "Was he listening to Lost Boy?" but then I saw your comment. I think he is, I listened to that part and Lost Boy over and over and I'm almost positive he's listening to Lost Boy!
that's such a beautiful place, so peaceful and calming. and it's soooo different from where I grew up. I grew up in a busy city, I would love to know what it's like to grow up in such a beautiful/rural area. I feel like it's gonna be an extremely different experience.
I really like this because it reminds me of when my parents made a film of a holiday we went on. And it's really great to actually see places in the world.
im still not sure why this little video makes me cry every time. I do know thats a really special and incredible gift to have though so well done connor.
I live in Wisconsin and i don't think people appreciate it enough. Yes it is a lot of fields and corn and it might seem boring, but it is a beautiful and peaceful place. Thank you Connor for showing that.
this is probably my favorite video by far, i haven't watched all his videos nor do i remember all of them but this almost made me cry like it was sooo beautiful and serene that i got teary eyed. i wish i was this artsy
did you grow up on a movie set
Ikr
nope just in minnesota (same thing?)
+ConnorFranta omgggg connorrrr
BUT IT'S SO GOSH DARN PRETTY
+ConnorFranta omg lol
i recommend you watch this in a quiet room and turn your volume all the way up! this is a little video i filmed around the area where i grew up. i hope you enjoy it and have the best week x

The Midwest is so quiet and beautiful and peaceful.

wow hey sawyer! Do you guys usually watch a lot of other youtuber's videos or just the ones that catch your eye? Ive always wondered that? And I agree, this video was really cool!!
hi
sawyerrrr love seeing you here!!
Sawyer you and Connor should make a full length film together
+Blade Lord YESS
this video gave me nostalgia and i didn't even live there lol. i guess it's bc i lived in an area similar to it.
I live in the same state as him
Same :(
same
I live about an hour away from where he grew up, in St. Paul lol
I live all the way in Brooklyn Park, which is kinda far from St. Paul
When TH-cam says you can't swear if you want to be monetized, but all you know are swear words.
Disclaimer: This is a joke and I really did enjoy this video and it's simplicity.
that made my day lmao
Wow this is the most beautiful video I've seen in a long time.
aw thank you
Agreed
+ConnorFranta Hi Connor! Xx
+ConnorFranta u r amazing so full of art lots of love😄😄😄😄
I agree. His edits & videos like this just keep getting better with time. His Instagram is even more aesthetically pleasing! He's truly an amazing human, one of damn kind. I love you so much Connor.
You know there's a story and emotion behind this and it's amazing!❤️
i could spend hours explaining the message behind this but i thought i would leave the story/emotions up for your interpretation :)
agreed for some reason the vid warmed my heart
+ConnorFranta hey Connor u do an amazing job at filming u express so much emotion and creativity u r very talented and u have inspired me to start making artistic videos or pictures u r great at what u do so keep doing if it makes u happy😃
why spend hours when there could be a nice short film and then a nice touching full length film.
+Blade Lord he is talking about the emotions in the short video he made he is a artist so he put in a lot of emotion into s short video
I wish I had grown up in an area like this. My cousins all live far from the city, and it was when I was with them, exploring and experiencing that I was happiest.

Yes!
Connor grew up about 45 minutes away from me ❤️
No really? wow Connor grew up 4 hours from me!!!
He grew up just 45 minutes north of where I've lived all of my life.
I live in Minnesota too :)
I live in Illinois, and seeing a creator showcase the beauty of the Midwest means a lot to me. Its truly beautiful here
Same! Thanks Connor!
I live in Nebraska though
High five for the state with the silent 's' that so many pEOPLE STILL SEEM TO PRONOUNCE LIKE OMG

this stopped me from having a full out panic attack. this is what i've needed for a long while. thanks, connor
I will gladly move half way across this planet to live in this beautiful place (I live in india)
In all seriousness, Minnesota looks like such a calm and peaceful place where you can spend days and it'll feel like hours. And ugh Con you're filmography and photography skills are amazing, it's my goal/dream to be good as you.
Keep you the great work Con!
*keep up the great work
It is a very beautiful place, but the people there aren't the friendliest of folk. I probably wouldn't move back there later in life but I would definitely go visit it to see the gorgeousness of it all.
I agree. I'd love to move there
Sometimes yeah. Then winter hits and your sitting inside like FUCK IM COLD. I would know lived here for 15 years
Oh, it's gorgeous, especially on the North Shore. But then winter happens. And then for close to half the year you're stuck inside because you can't get out of the house because there's six feet of snow blocking you in, or you lose power for days during a blizzard.

Artsy*
watch christian novelli. such artsy videos
Its Connor we don't question it
IKRRRR!
that's Connor for you. he's always so artsy.
whenever I check out a new TH-camr I expect the same type of format (the sit-down and chat/challenge videos) I either fall in love with their personality or lose interest. I never expect to love the type of videos they made because they seem the same with just the difference of the person sitting in front of the camera. This is the first time I kinda realised videos were a form of art. I just wanted to say this is beautiful and I love it!!!!!!
don't know why but it reminded me of Boyhood?
I can see that. Great movie.
great film
+ConnorFranta !!

That's 3.9 minutes of pure aesthetic and beauty that there.
Can we just talk about how Connor can get a bunch of random recordings with no speech, not even music, put them all together and make art. Like this is actually beautiful and it was just a bunch of videos put together but it was still cool af

But this so amazing 😉 Connor is everything

+Chanie 92 like honestly
I'm from Minnesota and something about the familiarity of this was very comforting.
That opening shot was on fucking point! 👌🏻
Whole video on point too! 👌🏻😂
yess ikr
To anyone looking for a song that goes well with this, go with Ed Sheerans "Lego house". Trust me.
You are so right omfg
YES
just tried it... whoa~! that is so true!
Omg yeah
I just took your advice and I absolutely loved the result.
every video Connor cones out with just keeps getting better. there's not many other youtubers you can say that about these days :) love you con
comes* darn it
yeah, it's just him and Will Darbyshire
yeah, it's just him and Will Darbyshire
And Simon Cade...

This is Beautiful.
Any other Minnesota peeps out there?!?

hello
connor was the whole reason why i look at things in this world differently. i tend to just stop during walks and take in the scenes around me. i look at the clouds and the flowers and just enjoy its simplicity. i find peace and tranquility from it. thanks con, you taught me to be human
In case you haven't already been told this today, you're beautiful.
today? I haven't been told that in years😂😂
Thanks, you too Piper!
Aww. Thanks.
(And I love your name. XD)
thank you!
Thank you lovely, you too! Xxx
the silence speaks a thousand words
I could see this being used in one of those classroom mindfulness exercises... I love it
Connor I'm from lacrosse and I actually used to live down the street from you way back in 2000 haha I love our area it's so beautiful!
Shoutout from Lacrescent
Connor's videos are always so aesthetically pleasing it hurts
The scenery is one of my favorite parts about being from a small town in Minnesota. There's always somewhere to go to get away from the noise of the towns and cities and just relax, enjoy being alive in the moment.
this is beauty.
heejj🙆
this looks like the setting for a "quirky" YA romance novel tbh
it's super beautiful tho
That place is beautiful. I wish I could live somewhere like that. I live in a desert and it sucks. I have never experienced the seasons, and I never get to see anything green. It's just very dull and quite sad.
Oh, and also, the video is beautiful, as always. 👍
Its LaCrescent MN, i live here too. Its amazing. I also saw while he filmed this
+SeVontae Dady how cool! I would love to visit someday. It looks absolutely beautiful!
there's green in your profile picture?
+Zoë Jordaan That picture was from when I was in the mountains camping.
holy crap man I got major goose bumps; I want an hour long version of this, this was so beautiful
Connor we love you so much!!
This video is so calming...
If you're reading this you're beautiful and have a nice day!
:)
you too
Cats
You managed to communicate all the little things so well. They are not just refreshing and nurturing, they are healing and connecting you with your inner self. And your movie is one of those that can participate at film festivals right away.
It had a horror movieish feeling to it.
I felt that a couple times too actually when it would jump cut to a super loud car ya
this is like a youtube video version of your instagram
Okay... This is it. This is now my favorite video you have ever made. It's artful and simple and yet speaks volumes to me. Being from Minnesota it put me so at ease and brought me right back to my childhood and gave me so much nostalgia and happy memories of growing up there.
Thank you for this Connor. 💛
You would be a great movie director
Hey connor, I hope you read this. I just came out as bisexual, and I just wanted you to know that you've inspired me in many ways. I grew up in La Crescent as well, and graduated in 2016. I'm friends with your cousin Paul, he's a great guy and he sure does love his rugby. Haha but, yes I just was wondering if there could be anyway you could come to La Crescent and watch my speech it would be amazing to have you there. And, maybe do a fan photo shoot and the proceeds go to mental illness awareness. I currently have to drop out of college because my bipolar symptoms got too out of hand and I had to go to hospital. I've missed too much school, but the plan is to go to next fall. thanks for taking the time to read this. And, thanks again for being an inspiration to myself and other fellow Lancers.
This reminds me son,I have of where I used to live. I had apple trees there in the country. I want to cry oh m gosh. This is so beautiful
such a beautiful video 😍
i'm always in love with your calm and artsy videos!
0:29 is that Lost Boy?
yes it is!
thats what i was thinking
Sounds like it to me..
I was about to comment "Was he listening to Lost Boy?" but then I saw your comment. I think he is, I listened to that part and Lost Boy over and over and I'm almost positive he's listening to Lost Boy!
that's such a beautiful place, so peaceful and calming. and it's soooo different from where I grew up. I grew up in a busy city, I would love to know what it's like to grow up in such a beautiful/rural area. I feel like it's gonna be an extremely different experience.
I grew up in Minnesota too. It’s amazing. And cold.
Last time I was earley connor replied to comments
lol that was a long time ago
Lol
lmao Connor replied to me yesterday
this is legit sad omg
early*
I loved growing up in Minnesota 💞
I really like this because it reminds me of when my parents made a film of a holiday we went on. And it's really great to actually see places in the world.
