This is a bit of a different video to what I usually do but let me know if you like it! So I decided to ditch the usual camera equipment and record a video using an old tape camcorder! Also hello to all the new people here, theres quite a few of you now...

love is so beautiful

[@JRAlli]

one thing i loved was that old school looking bokeh at 0:41 man such a beautiful idea, really does test your creative abilities too, goes to show you can make something beautiful even with an older camera. Well done Ellis :)

[@helloimellis]

I was pretty pleased when I got that shot, especially as the camcorder has some sort of auto focus so I was surprised! Thank you very much :)

[@ForagingGardener]

What a beautiful film! Feels like you're watching memories..

[@helloimellis]

Thank you! I think looking back at this video in a year or two will be so nice

[@NearlyLauren]

i love this so much. makes every place look like home and it feels so intimate.

[@helloimellis]

Thank you:)

[@junebug.mp3]

OMffggg the aesthetic of this video and the music and everything i love this so much

[@amegabyteofmaya]

This is really cute, the camcorder effect is so nostalgic

[@JosephHardinFilms]

+A Megabyte of Maya i dont think that was an effect... it was an actual camcorder!

[@amegabyteofmaya]

+aflyingspacerocket haha yes I know, I meant that it has a nice effect :)

[@JosephHardinFilms]

oh okay, oops. yes i definitely agree though!

[@helloimellis]

Thank you, I was really pleased with the look too!

[@NTJordan]

gives me this warm, happy feeling like when i watch my family's old home videos. you've also got this excellent flow and sense of rhythm when editing. great stuff as always, ellis.

[@helloimellis]

That's exactly why I loved making this, it just felt like a little home video from when I was younger! Why thank you, I appreciate it

[@HristaStefanov]

I love this and the nostalgic vibes it brings

[@Awesomepedia]

Isn't it weird how things turn into instant memories in a format like this?

Too good ! That was so quiet and sweet, thank you !!

[@Elio_YR]

new subscriber here, I really loved the old camera vibe, it felt more like I was watched some old family videos or something and idk the combination with the music made me happy

[@helloimellis]

Welcome! That's the kind of thing I was going for really and I'm glad I payed off. It makes me happy when my videos make people happy

[@nickpyett]

The tape loading mechanism on that camera is really satisfying

[@helloimellis]

It's pretty great but there's a lot that could go wrong with it

[@thomazmp]

I am grateful for how nostalgic it makes me feel

[@NikkiHarrisFilms]

It truly shows how gifted you are with visual story telling. You used the old cam corder that most people scoff at and mad a beautiful short film.

[@helloimellis]

Why thank you very much, I really enjoyed using the camcorder too!

[@itselliehill]

I hear Tom Rosenthal!

[@itselliehill]

Okay I probably should've waited until the end

[@helloimellis]

+aussyells at last you weren't wrong

[@itselliehill]

+helloimellis true true

[@Kate-sv4ty]

[@helloimellis]

[@zioscozio]

Yay for a fun weekend in Scotland!

[@laurellairose9314]

This is so creative and sweet. I found myself infatuated with the style. An amazing music choice also

[@helloimellis]

Thank you very much :)

[@sobaesic]

loved that you used a camcorder; the effect on the footage was so vintage, and Tom's music complemented it so well! great video as always Ellis :)

[@helloimellis]

Thank you! I'm really happy how the the footage turned out too!

[@sophiebaumgarten4804]

this video made me extremely happy. i got a warm and fuzzy feeling and it reminded me of someone i love :,)

[@ladytide]

The throwback to a camcorder made me feel warm and fuzzy inside... love the way you edited this! Great work as usual

[@helloimellis]

That's how I felt watching all the footage back after I filmed, its great! And thank you :)

[@kaseyk639]

such a beautiful, calming video :) loved it

[@neonfiona]

im obsessed with this video

[@Pimbolammy]

You have such a lovely way of filming. It's so personal but kinda relatable? I don't know how to describe it. You're just good at visual storytelling.

[@helloimellis]

Aw thank you Sam-E! I think the old camcorder look can make it feel kinda personal because that's seems to be the way our baby videos are filmed I don't know? But hey thank you very very much

[@aaronwilliams]

[@helloimellis]

[@thedustinbuck]

It's always fun to change out your tools. Great video.

[@helloimellis]

I think it just changes things up a bit and makes you think a bit differently how you use your tools. Thank you!

[@nenihabla6713]

this was incredibly beautiful

[@ezra.williams]

This was so good!

[@annaninjak]

[@madilynmiller]

This video is beautiful, I loved it💖

[@KhanStopMe]

I subbed before it was cool, js. I liked this nostalgic vibe bro, it's just emphasises that its about the stories you tell and not the gear 🙌🏾 10/10

[@helloimellis]

Kahn the original sub4sub guy Thanks man I'm glad you like it. it was strange because I didn't even think of it like that I just thought "I'm going to make a video and it's going to look cool because of this old camera thing" but it's a good message none the less!

[@reddy4red97]

I adore this sO INTENSELY BLESS YOU

[@helloimellis]

[@ohhhhSnap180]

this was wonderful thank you

[@artxzay3300]

13th of february 2016 (first part of your video.) This throws me off because i remember what i was doing on the exact day. It was my Birthday (worst one yet) I turned 14 and my Mom was in the hospital at that time because of burn out and depression. She was only allowed to visit for a couple hours that day and i cried the whole time. My Mom gave me a little bracelet she made for me in the hospital. I am still wearing it. Seeing what a complete stranger on the other side of the world did on the same day reminds me: When you are feeling bad some person on this planet might be having the best day of his life, meeting an old friend or falling in love and one day this is gonna be you. I just wanted to share that:)

[@MiracleElixirDG]

Awesome :)

[@amellerosemusic]

Loved this so fucking much

[@GraysDays0]

Oh wow, I love this :) Beautiful video, thanks

[@helloimellis]

I'm glad you like it!

[@maialencano]

Amazing😍

[@veauhania]

[@helloimellis]

thank you thank you!!!!

[@MarshmallowsMolly]

YES MUSIC YES FILMING YES ALL YES

[@helloimellis]

YES thank you!

[@Luleym]

cute so cute

[@GraceRoseSharp]

ah this so cute!! i've literally just got hold of a tape camcorder too! just wondering, how'd you get the videotape changed into digital video??

[@helloimellis]

Thank you grace! Well if you have a Mac you can buy a thunderbolt to FireWire adapter and then I had to get anther FireWire 800 to 600 adapter then plugged it in and used iMovie to record the footage off the camcorder. Sounds quite complicated but I'm sure there is a tutorial somewhere!

[@GraceRoseSharp]

helloimellis you're v welcome :) I don't have a mac but my dad does, so I'll definitely try that! thank youu

[@nurulsyafiqahmohammed2670]

lovely

[@MartinHayfield]

such a cute video, i can see the will darbyshire and casey neistat influence here. also what's the model of that camcorder and did you you buy it to film this video or did you already have it laying around somewhere? :)

[@helloimellis]

It's funny you should say that about casey and will because they're probably the two youtubers that inspire me the most! And that camcorder was actually the one that my mum used to record me on when I was younger so I just found it laying around :)

[@joyhunink5792]

wow this is so beautiful

[@jonathanhughes4435]

Great video, out of interest was this inspired by Adrian Bliss' 2015 in Super 8 video

[@helloimellis]

Thank you, i think everything i watch that I like seems to subconsciously inspire me in some way, so I guess yeah it was ahah

[@kaipt8584]

This is lovely, you should do a meet-up next time you're in Glasgow (:

[@Jenny-vn6ht]

This is such a cute video

[@helloimellis]

Thank youuuu

[@isladownes9932]

niiiiiiice

[@amberaustin6566]

OKAY I AM OBSESSED WITH THIS ACCOUNT. DOES ANYONE KNOW OF ANY KZbinRS SIMILAR TO THIS ONE. I GET SO INSPIRED WITH HIM

[@helloimellis]

+Mymylookhowbeautiful yo hey thank you! I'm gonna make a video soon on people that I like to watch so you might find a couple of new people then!

[@stylebyjules]

this is so very sweet

[@helloimellis]

Aw thank you 😌

[@hogbenfan]

Oh yes .... I liked it :D All the beautiful things

[@helloimellis]

with beautiful music to go with it ahah

[@hogbenfan]

indeed ... definitely a big plus point

[@jessicaxo113]

😊

[@SuperSamStuff]

Beautiful man? Beautiful, man? Who cares, this was both.

[@helloimellis]

It's a lovely complement however you say it! Also it's strange I was on Twitter and saw that KZbin tweeted one of your videos and then I subscribed, then I got a notification that someone commented on my video and it happened to be you, as I was watching your video (did that make sense??!?)

[@SuperSamStuff]

It made sense, haha yeah!

[@amberaustin6566]

may I ask what type of camcorder this is?

[@Andreazendali]

is this a younger will darbyshire? btw nice vids

[@stylebyjules]

you both remind me of will & arden

[@helloimellis]

That's a pretty good complement really haha

[@incessantmurkysmuggler]

Hey, Mellis. My name is Chris Higgins and I run an account which I post once a month. Anyway what I wanted to say was that I have had this idea for awhile where I show video from now and from my childhood. And right when I was almost done filming it, I saw that you posted this video which was like so close to my idea. I just want to say that the video that I am going to post was in no way shape or form a thing to copy you or this video in which I am commenting on. Just wanted to state this for no one gets mad. If you don't want me to make the video, don't be worried to just message me back. Hell, maybe I'll finish editing it but then never post it. Great job on this channel btw, looking forward to next months video. Ps : I have my own style to my channel, so dont worry, I would never steal the "feel" to this video (if you know what I mean). Thanks :) Keep up the amazing work.

[@helloimellis]

+Chris Higgins Don't worry I really don't mind at all! Post whatever you make regardless. I don't think anyone would mind if it's similar or even pretty much the same so dont worry at all. Also thank you very much :)

[@incessantmurkysmuggler]

+helloimellis kk thanks :)
