I like this song, how melancholic the chords are.
Maybe life will eventually get better and I'll enjoy listening to these gloomy songs but in a different way, as a relieved person.

[@_TG]

I personally listen to Bon Iver as a sort of amelioration of my emotional variance. It takes parts of my sadness, joy, sorrow, contentment, and mixes it together to make a beautiful mess. It’s strangely relieving, although I spare doing it often.

[@MrMoustacheish]

@@_TG hell yeah. For me it's a catharsis for emotions. Just dump them all out in one long session of music listening. I'm tuned out, off the grid, dead to the world during that time. I come out of it rebirthed.

You know it’s good when bon iver is playing.

I used to see that same lady doing the flowers at PPM when I lived in Seattle. Best time of my life and I can't wait to move back. Really nice film.

[@vladtheimpaler7878]

This song shows the decay of a relationship, all of its hopes and dreams, and the realization that things could change with effort. But we’re looking at a gravestone.

Wtf man…

[@robbiesands166]

I’m speechless. This is like that moment before you die when your whole life flashes before your eyes and everything is whole and right.

[@kimbofthejungle4443]

Personally, I believe 16mm is the sweet spot. But Super 8 has a certain charm.

[@lily52dodo]

This music sounds like a sunday afternoon,feeling the warmth of a heavy sunlight. Your video gives the feeling of moments we can never get back. An old nostalgia.

What camera did you shoot with? Also the quality of this film is awesome, do you buy online?

[@jacforsythe4414]

I shot it with a Minolta and the film was expired Ektachrome 64T that I picked up at a garage sale. I think you can find them on Ebay.

So good, how much film did you shoot to make this?

[@jacforsythe4414]

Thanks mate, just 1 roll of expire Ektachrome

[@slipperypipe]

@@jacforsythe4414 oh wow that's awesome, loving the idea of this and being limited to what you can shoot. Did you edit much or is this just the video straight from the roll?

[@jacforsythe4414]

@@slipperypipe I rearranged a few little bits but it's mostly chronological. It's a really fun way of shooting, i'd recommend it! It's pretty expensive to develop but you can find the old cameras at garage sales or on craigslist. I got mine and the roll of film for $20

[@slipperypipe]

@@jacforsythe4414 amazing that's so cool, absoultly love the idea of this. Thanks for the insight, can wait to give it a go!
