Burning Man 2013 - Cargo Cult

[@sevenian]

I've seen several wonderfully shot and orchestrated videos of the burn. They have amazing camera angles, perfect faces, precisely timed cuts and, honestly, they seem like polished advertisements for a place that, to me, is beautiful due to it's rawness more than anything. This is the first video I've found that comes close to capturing the experience I had. Laughs, tears and everything in between. Thank you.

Thanks for sharing the Happiest Place on Earth for 1 week a year where new friends are found and others are let go.

[@raymondpaul123]

Also, your shots had many "attractions" I haven't seen in other videos. The huge fractal animation on the HUGE screen at one of the dance arena's WOW.....! I didn't make it this year and I am living it through you awesome work..... thanks again...... :)

[@hurschmann]

Excellent photography & beautiful video montage! Thanks for sharing!

[@Itsfish20]

This video got me so pumped for this years burn! The choice to use The Veldt as the opening song made this song a must have for my bike this year and I rode around playing this on my bikes sound system! Other people on the playa heard the song and knew your video!

[@sharibucknam4387]

Thank you for sharing your beautiful perspective. It is spot on. TEARS of emotion and extreme gratitude - for the pleasure of the experience - stream down my face. Thank you brother, Thank you.

[@brettskii2]

Excellent work Doctor! Yes Yes Yes!

[@RenoMelissa]

Great video! Love how you mixed stills with video. Excellent clarity, editing and music.

[@Mcjanet77]

I am 71 and I thought it caught the mood exactly...

[@SoulLaugh]

Thanks for posting you amazing BM videos! :)

[@burn-life]

Paul Caridad Sanchez You're welcome!

[@1dmanley]

Some day some year I will finally make it there but thanks so much for the great Vid, it keeps my stoke going and hopes alive!

[@ronniecardy]

I love the music

[@Codydan11]

Got shivers a few times ^.^

[@MoonDrop8]

I stumbled upon a key to the Stimulus Tree in the deep playa, on top of some cold cans of beer next to a statue! I sincerely planned on taking this key to 7:15 & H to discover what is there, but I never made it due to the Man burning and such... I hope to find you guys next year! Love, Starlight

[@codymorris268]

This video is so awesome. My sister has been the past 4 years..next year will be my first! YEEHAWW

[@rcrkid007]

we are planning on making our first burning in 2014!!!! awesome video!!! i cant wait!!!!

[@burn-life]

I hope a lot more are found than let go!

[@burn-life]

Thanks! I think everyone experiences Burning Man in his or her own way. The videos I make are, of course, the way I experience BM, or at least the parts I choose to take pics/video of. I try to be pretty inclusive, but no doubt miss out on whole ranges of stuff going on out there. It's only 10 minutes, after all!

[@raymondpaul123]

Yes... awesome work! and really does give you a bit of that BM high......... of being home, that "best place here and now" feeling. thanks.... if you ever feel like doing this vid again with more natural, BM, Sound....... that would be amazing! I love your choice of music but for me the sound of Burning Man is as amazing as the visual, emotional, liberating and spiritual elements. thank you so much! ray mikota......

[@masterheavy]

Great! Thank you!

[@TMATEJ1]

very well done

[@burn-life]

Thanks! Hope you can make it home next year!

[@TheFillerhoff]

Just watching this has helped both fall back in love with humanity, and realize why I find it tiresome. God is both present and ignored at the same time. Beautiful freedom, and scary freedom. I hope nothing ever changes for Burning Man.

[@BabbittdaWabbitt]

"Circumcision Wagon & Calamari Hut" - Funny. Great vid. Thanks for sharing.

[@catchaser52]

Well done thanks so much,,,,,,

[@TheFillerhoff]

But, all around, humanity at it's best

[@burn-life]

Thanks! Appreciate it.

[@kevinells]

Very nice, thank you.

[@sabatheus]

Fantastic video man. Rock on.

[@burn-life]

You'll get there!

[@RobertStigers]

The song and photos at the end make me wish I was home. I need decompression... :/

[@heftymarmot]

@BabbitdaWabbitt - that's me 'n' Flying Squirrel with the wagon/hut!

Wow, you're welcome!

[@makeitbetter.1402]

you got what i wrote in the temple @ 10:52

[@burn-life]

I hear you - I'd be home all the time if it weren't for the fact that the playa is pretty boring most of the year. ;) Oh well. 50 weeks until the Man burns!

[@TheDuccky]

you made burningman look like some sort of "rave camp", even with the choice of music. nothing like that at all.

[@burn-life]

Yeah, you're right. There's no EDM out on the playa. ;)
