Oh, wow. You made this for me! Just for me! I can tell because it flew straight into my heart!
Actually, I don’t claim the honor that you made it just for me, but it’s how I felt at the end of viewing.
Amazing & beautiful. thanks for making it and i feel very sorry for the other lost files. i feel that these newer bigger disks are unfortunately always a disaster waiting to happen
Rgds, ZN
Lost images. Oh boy. Makes us feel guilty for not salvaging them earlier, posting them to the net. I have so much footage from Georgia this summer that I haven’t shared. What if I just lost all that?
Great video, Robert. I have been in so many situations like that in big cities.
Terrifyingly well made and elegant as always; very beautiful too.
There’s a lot of loose talk about video haiku & it’s a notion a lot of us aspire to.
I think you hit it remarkably consistently & with the full force of the metaphor - the apparently simple surface that just opens out and opens out and opens out into new layers of feeling and thinking.
I’m intrigued, though, about what you shot this on ( I mean, it seems to me not to be something lightweight and unobtrusive on the basis of the beautiful quality you get) & also how you managed it in the hell that is the rush hour tube…
you are brilliant…….what else can be said….
This is, I think, the only videoblog post I have watched this month. And it is enough.
I had the worst day today.
Now that I’ve watched that, it doesn’t seem to matter.
That was stunningly brilliant and beautiful. That made me remember why I vlog, and also that I haven’t in way too long.
Can I just hop over the ocean and watch you create things?
An antidote. Wonderful.
Wow. Another fantastic video production.
Way to go Robert.
I cant say any more than what everyone else has already said here about how beautiful and fantastic this is Robert. You truly are wondrous. Watching this has set my day off in the right direction. If I was in front of you I would hug you and thank you for creating this beautiful piece of art.
you still made a masterpiece. And the birds
This is so cinematic,
the blue streaks make it seem like panavision camera lens flares, which to me makes it look really futuristic and would belong straight alongside ‘Blade Runner’ footage. I think it’s great that most of the figures are in green as combined with the blue streaks of light it clashes, the colours add to the sense of the uncomfortable nature of the scene. I love how half way through the blonde lady unknowingly steals our attention as the main star and it was just visually perfect when you mirrored the scene.
The music had my hairs standing on end too! This is definitely my favorite video from you, it’s hard to think that we might’ve never seen it!
the sublime elegance of the quotidian.
croma’s tube meditation transcends all youtube uploads.
a one chanel tunnel, at a station worth the anticipation for more (slow) moving enlightment.
Great video man, bravo.
You are the king, RC. THE KING! When the woman in white looked at herself i sat up and shouted.
lovve the new film pa. clever man
I like it. especially a symmetry break in the middle with man without head.
mystic and symbolic.
incredible. I have to return here every once in a while to remind myself less is more. Its not what you put in your video that makes it genius its what is left out. I’m always so tempted to add layer upon layer of complexity to tell a story, portray a moment, often unbeneficial. Your work is exquisitely simple.
thanks. you’re so inspirational
I hate the crowds in london - too many people too close together
they kept trying to board the train didn’t they - if only they’d waited another 2 minutes there would have been another train. great capture of the world moving too fast. I loved how you blurred them into bliss & peace at the end with the bright light. felt very spiritual
this sucks you in and gets progressively stranger. very nice.
Resolution.
Another study in detail.
Storytelling.
Evolved.

Time.
You require much of us.
What’s up with the bird? Some of us don’t quite get the message. The bird seemed to suggest a kind of migration, the way that humans move around. We are curious about the mirror effect and why it was used. We are curious about your choices of sound as well.
P.S. Jen says it’s lovely.
Jen’s Class
I’ve sent you a response via Jen. As usual, an honour to have you here.
I am fascinated by the layered effect created about half way through, just before the fade to the mirror screen. I really like how much it contrasts with reality which is emphasised by the slow speed and the music, which conveys tranquility and patience.
I admire the photographical approach to this video. I love the colours and contrast used and how it makes something a person would do as an everyday task, look so beautiful and enchanting. If this is what it looked and felt like to use the tube, or any form of public transport then I’m sure it would transform some people’s opinions.
Like everybody else I think this work is beautiful. I’ve always loved the tube and found it oddly asthetically pleasing, plus I have a great appreciation for the beauty of travel in all it’s forms.
