It's been a while since I've seen a video that really floored me. Not just in the beauty sense. But in the creativity aspect. Recently when I've showcased videos, that'v been time lapses, travel pieces, or short documentaries. If you remember, I used to share music videos that left you wondering how they were possible, paint exploding through a quaint English apartment block, or 250,000 bouncy balls raining chaos down the streets of San Francisco (and I have no problem posting those again) but to be honest, I might have tapped the well for those types of videos.
That is, until I found this one.
Before you all jump give me a hard time about going back to another time lapse, bear with me a little bit on this one. Once you watch it you'll see it's unlike any other I've posted. This is a video that oozes creativity. More than I know I have in my body. I can't even fathom how the kid behind this video thought of this idea, let alone executed it. The planning, time commitment, and precision needed to capture this as well as he did is staggering. It's a wonderful example of forced perspective. And I promise you, this was all done in camera. No post work. No special effects.
Plus - this piece just feels right with the time of year that it is. When nights seem to stretch on and the moon is in no rush to make it into the sky, until it finally does and just hangs there lazily, not wanting to go anywhere.
It feels like summer.
