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
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 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.
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.
+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 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.
This video is to show his perspective of the place he grew up by using short clips and using a very creative style of video in a very artistic Ik this because I absolutely love art and the different ways it comes in
i love how you see good in every corner and edge of everything. it inspires me to look closely when i see something that maybe doesn't really look that great as a whole. then once i like the part i'm looking at, i'll start to appreciate the whole thing. also one more thing : thank you for having the same outro since forever :)
I love this so much. Connor has such an incredible eye, and has changed how I see the world. If you think about if someone were to be looking at Connor while he were filming, they'd see something so different. Others who grew up there saw and did things differently. Connor knows how to say things, without the slightest breath. Incredible mind and eye for the world. This is one of the things I'm grateful about- that youtubers take time to create. It's something you're not expecting, but it beautiful. Mind blowing. This is why I love Connor.
I totally agree, he sees the world in such a beautiful way that others wouldn't. I wish I were able to see the world that way and enjoy the peace. People like Connor really change the world for the better!
I totally agree. I really like to watch this kind of videos. They are different and you get the chance to sit, relax and watch the world with another eye. That's one of the reasons I love Connor and his videos.
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!!!!!!
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.
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
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.
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.
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. 💛
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
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.
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
Damn videos like this make me feel sad for having to grow up in the ghetto ass Bronx with barely any money and with family problems. btw nice vid connor I wish I was like u
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.
i love this. i love the intricacy, and detail, and the wider picture too. i feel like you've let me in on a secret, it felt so private to watch. as an introvert, this video is my world, it's thinking space and noticing the small things on a walk. it also made me realize just how much noise we make unnecessarily. More people should take time to step back and see the world this way.
My life is so stressfull at the moment, I hardly have time to calm down and rest for a few minutes. This video really gave me some inner peace within only 3 minutes. It was exactly what I needed, also because it reminds me of where I grew up. Thank you for this.
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.
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.
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
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

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
so artsy it makes me feel ugly

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 :)
such a beautiful video 😍
i'm always in love with your calm and artsy videos!
I love this so much. Connor has such an incredible eye, and has changed how I see the world. If you think about if someone were to be looking at Connor while he were filming, they'd see something so different. Others who grew up there saw and did things differently.

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.

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.

Tru i watch this videos more than the others
holy crap man I got major goose bumps; I want an hour long version of this, this was so beautiful
I'm from Minnesota and something about the familiarity of this was very comforting.
HOW CAN ONE BE SO ARSTY
Artsy*

IKRRRR!
that's Connor for you. he's always so artsy.

Thank you for this Connor. 💛
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
I really like the feeling of serenity in this video. The message behind this video could be interpreted in so many ways!! ❤️👌
That opening shot was on fucking point! 👌🏻
Whole video on point too! 👌🏻😂
yess ikr
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
Not gonna lie I kind of expected a jumpscare
me too lol
same here haha
Same
Probably from playing to much Five Nights At Freddy's or way to much RPG horror games.
Lmao jk.
There is never enough.
That's 3.9 minutes of pure aesthetic and beauty that there.
When Connor is better looking than most guys😫
Most? All.
+Issa Is a smol bean haha you're right he is way cuter ❣😍

def
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.
Why tf can't he just make a movie 😂😂😂 and call IT WATCH A MOVIE 😂😂😂😂
But this so amazing 😉 Connor is everything
yes omg I would watch that
What is he studying?
these do look like scenes for a movie indeed
+Chanie 92 like honestly
watching it after bts teaser it just makes me feel more sad but in a good way.
love your vids doe!
I feel you
the bts teasers + this video is just too much artsiness for one day
same
same
+EndlessDaydreams yup
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
i grew up in the midwest too and this made me nostalgic. lovely video, connor.
I loved growing up in Minnesota 💞
Damn videos like this make me feel sad for having to grow up in the ghetto ass Bronx with barely any money and with family problems. btw nice vid connor I wish I was like u
Difficult roads often lead to beautiful destinations. Keep doing what you love! 😘
I FEEL YOU
But that makes you so much more experienced for life and more appreciative for what you have.
TRUE DAT
Lissette Mendoza He also had problems but he's only highlighting the good and enjoyable points in this video.
I could see this being used in one of those classroom mindfulness exercises... I love it
When tumblr meets youtube hehe
the silence speaks a thousand words
Connor's videos are always so aesthetically pleasing it hurts
this video put me in such ease, very peaceful, very mind clearing, nice job Connor.
is this ASMR lmao
lowkey it id
Any other Minnesota peeps out there?!?
Me!

Yo

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.
i love this. i love the intricacy, and detail, and the wider picture too. i feel like you've let me in on a secret, it felt so private to watch. as an introvert, this video is my world, it's thinking space and noticing the small things on a walk. it also made me realize just how much noise we make unnecessarily. More people should take time to step back and see the world this way.
This is more relaxing than any Asmr I ever watched
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
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.
My life is so stressfull at the moment, I hardly have time to calm down and rest for a few minutes. This video really gave me some inner peace within only 3 minutes. It was exactly what I needed, also because it reminds me of where I grew up. Thank you for this.
Am I the only one that automatically bangs my head to the outro music?
No. I do it every time too!!
I do too.
i love the outro music so much i always replay it :)
Nope
+Carly omg your profile pic lmao 😂💗💗🌟✨
this is a beautiful work of art
Why did Connor grew up in such a beautyfull place and I live in probably one of the most ugliest (blue) neighbourhoods out there? Ugh
Minnesota is not a beautiful state😂 we got fucking corn field after corn field that's it
+Limeade Dillon True. But certain parts can be beautiful.
Change your perspective on where you live and try to find the beauty in it! You never know. you might find something really pretty
You're just not looking in the right places. ;)
+Michael Malecha true
Your videos give me such chill 70' vibes, i love it.
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

You would be a great movie director

the work of sound and image is just amazing, congratulations ! (sorry i'm french person and my english is very bad lol)
Oh une française !

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.
I really liked this Connor 💗💗
You are my aesthetic
this video calms my anxiety
MASTERPIECE, OMG. IT IS SO PERFECT
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
If you're reading this you're beautiful and have a nice day!
