    very beautiful and thought provoking in such a positive poetic way… the passing of time, yet the same buildings, the same street, fading into the present, that already is the past, from now on.

    such a fine document of a moment, extending time, freezing it snapshot like …comforting to know, that such moments, hopefully, might remain available on the net.

    in twenty years or so it will have become more than a simple video: it will then be a record of the time, the young boy will be an adult, the cars will seem antiquated, and most of the buildings will still be there.

    another video, or whatever it might be called at that time, can then be made, re-inevstigating the present, that for now is in the future…

    thank you for sharing this fine piece. very inspiring! (as always, btw.)
    cheers, sam

    An empire we can now hold in our hands.

    Thank you - sincerely - for this.

    I don’t know why but the beginning of this kind of creeped me out. The music, the slow pans, fuzzy black and white. Well done.

    Tom lived in London and made awesome awesome videos too. He’s MIA currently.

    Wow, fantastic video. You always pull off really quality polished pieces with subtle effects that make all of the difference, such as the use of blurs to focus a new aspect ratio here. Love it.

    Thanks so much for your nice comments on my first few posts by the way :). Really makes such a difference. Reading the comments on your posts, after seing what you’ve made is almost as interesting an experience as seing the video in the first place, because seing people’s descriptions of how they experience your work helps me understand mine. Cinematic tapas.

    as if rocketing right at us from out of the past. really nice.

    As so many have said, it’s that last shot, the tension as he gets closer and closer, the incredible I Am Here gaze coming after the artifact of the past…

    Speech-less, thank you. I’ve been feeling the freezing.
