I remember there was one instance where my brother and his friend was over... they were probably like 13 at the oldest, and they were watching the tape. ROFL! My brother probably said something to his friend like, "I bet you've never seen any shit like this before!" The birth tape was kinda like a party trick. So my bro put it in the VCR and he and his friend are like "Whoooaaa!" lmfao and they started critiquing everything. It was so funny.
That is so fucking classic. It's like a scene out of a John Hughs film, but better. Sorry to hear the tape has disappeared. I often wonder about that. All the missing videos and photos from our past... I can understand the nostalgia and the bittersweetness of being able to recall it but not possess it again. Maybe there's something to consciousness not really being linear that can be gleaned from it. I don't know. Letting go is easily the hardest thing to do in this human context. I know we've talked about that before... a few times actually... that it often feels like the meaning of life is to let go. Ugh.
Attachments are like an iron grip on our heart.

You're not alone in that.
Quote:So I refer to what I do with my music videos as a "creative collaboration with the universe", meaning one thing leads to another and eventually your footage hits that magic spot where it synches up with things... like a "Dark Side of the Moon/Wizard of Oz" effect.
...That's when the magic happens and the imagery synches up perfectly with the song.

I understand consummately. Grok'ing very hard over here.
Quote:While I was working on this music video, I came to the conclusion that time is an illusion and maybe on some subconscious, psychic level, I knew it was going to look like I was dancing with myself. There were other things that suggested that this mix of footage was meant to be put together. For example, I was using a very pretty stars twinkling/space graphic for this video, just a piece of looped footage I've had for a while... and there were parts where the stars twinkling lined up with my face in totally uncanny, perfect ways and I just don't see that being coincidence. There's something to it all.
You're entering the fray of your creative prowess, which is like direct imprinting onto the fabric of universal intelligence; your intuition, subconscious, all of your creative and spiritual faculties are pumping in unison...
Being in that space is the best feeling. It's life.
you're an artist.
