I'm editing footage at 4:30am. I cant sleep after having some really shotty work done to my truck yesterday. It just almost hurt a little, they put the tail light on and left out a screw, just left one screw holding on my taillight. there is a strange lack of passion in my city for workmanship, that was the one shop who was even willing to do the work. it was a radio and backup camera install, that was it. my voltage was weird, the camera flickered and then the unit died after 40 minutes. thats the level of quality. i feel like we need to get back to caring about eachother, wanting to impress eachother. Things can be better, how do we heal when we are so consumed by the dopamine, the distractions and the short form content. even on youtube, I find they push YT shorts so much and videos like mine get 100 views and then freeze, being locked in a moment of the past that doesnt really exist after a few days. the refresh rate of our minds and reality is so rapid that something that takes a moment to feel can barely breathe.
That's not to say my videos are deserving of any views or that the quality of the video is even there to hold attention, I feel humble and humiliated and not entitled to the audience, but as a user of youtube everyday I find they do tend to push the so called "candy" of attention grabbing, like maybe the stuff that gets our attention is actually not the best thing for us, 30 second clips of our dark psychological musings, accidents and endless advice. there are videos i notice being recommended, like the algorythm almost knows eventually i will need to click on this one video of a person in 1960 who had schizophrenia. I remember discovering so much art once on youtube and I still do and am grateful, but the sea of art has become a lake of art. I have to actively look now and while I try to improve my hobby videography work, I know i am up against the real thrills and there will only ever be so far I can go. I will still search for that feeling and just the right mix anyway. try to improve and reach the rare few who can connect with a deeper vibey kind of homemade video. this is the insane nature of art I think, that we stick to it even when noone is watching, because we are searching and excavating our own spirit in order to learn and find some peace but also maybe just to provide for eachother. maybe it is a small form of workmanship done in a careful way. maybe it could be that way.
If you are one of those people that views this kind of video and reads this kind of description, know that I'm a big fan. you are better than me in a lot of ways and I look up to you. I have massive respect for your patience and we are dying breeds in this fast paced dopamine race of short form content and distractions from peace and feeling, those more baseline brainwaves where we found our healing once.
I really love this musical artist/producer and I'm also grateful to have a hobby that allows me to explore the music in such a different way as getting to see it set to footage all these years later. it feels like so many years since 2011 but like no time at all has passed. like the moment since then is the same moment that it always was. one of those universal moments where the warm feelings and goodness can last forever. a simple time when all of this new technology was budding like a timelapse narrated by David Attenborough.
