Burning Man 2015: Dream

My annual Burning Man video, set to a mix I edited together consisting of:
* You and Me - Bassnectar
* Peace of Mind (Arty Remix) - Above & Beyond
* Hi-Life (Cheeky Bold Cover) - Monkey Safari
All footage taken by me, except for the Man and Temple burns - that footage is from Mark Day. I exclusively used a Sony A7s and a 24-70mm f/4 Sony lens. The combination was a joy to use out there.

[@xdoucheymcdouchex]

seeing the temple brings back a rush of memories of my brother.. the temple serves its purpose. i miss him.

[@burn-life]

xdoucheymcdouchex Sorry to hear about your brother. I lost mine as well. :(

[@xdoucheymcdouchex]

@@burn-life days, weeks, months, of mourning can't equate the true grasp of total suffering.. the song choice in this video just fits so perfectly.. THANK YOU.

[@DuncanRawlinson]

Thanks for making this. I appreciate all the work that went into it!

[@screwityoutubization]

Such a wonderful and dusty Burn. Much love from Distrikt!!!!!

[@HitomiAdrien]

One of the best day parties at the burn. THANK YOU!!

[@burn-life]

+screwityoutubization I always have a good time at Distrikt!

[@sharksport01]

+screwityoutubization Hey Distrikt, I camped alone this year, wasn't feeling the chaos of the man-burn alone so I climbed your stage platform and soon it became your private burn-watching party. I just kept quiet and stayed in the corner. You guys give sooooo much, and by far THE best day party, no question.….. Thank you Thank you Thank you!!!!!!!

[@michellemealey2569]

Amazing, touches your heart and soul ❤

[@BenN2323]

Wow, perfect video, replay again & again ! Thank you. Love

[@burn-life]

+Benoit Chamayou (Benfreak) Thanks!

[@GlitterGhoul]

Didn't expect to see some of my friends in this when it showed up on my recommended videos! Beautiful video, wonderful job!

[@pagejeter]

great video. thank you for sharing. stoked to be in it -- dancing into the sunset at the best place on earth

[@RennonShow]

Very emotive video. Thanks

[@ericpanissidi6761]

Looks like heaven

[@Dr_Bombay]

gorgeous footage. i love that you focus on all the people, not just gorgeous sparkle types. : )

[@burn-life]

+Frank Ozaki Nice to hear you say that, because honestly, I'm constantly worried about doing that and ended up doing a lot of re-arranging and editing to ensure I wasn't showing a bunch of hot 22 year olds, no matter how tempting it is.

[@Dr_Bombay]

+Dr. Yes i totally understand the tendency (who doesn't love the hot 22 yr olds? lol), but i love seeing burners that i feel are like me in footage... just people of all ages having fun and being happy.

[@burn-life]

+Frank Ozaki That is why I love Burning Man and don't go to "festivals" for the most part.

[@jenniferrbishop1]

best burner video I've ever seen . It made me homesick. And cry for the lost at the temple. I'm sharing to the big BM fb group .

[@burn-life]

+jennifer bishop Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it so much.

[@suprazrule]

Great video, I must say I'm thoroughly impressed.

[@burn-life]

+Denny Singh Thank you! That's very kind. :)

[@suprazrule]

+Dr. Yes thank you for taking the time out to create this video that captures the essence of the celebration that is burning man. I totally want to go!!

[@MammothDzn]

And again next year i am watching it (100th time... :D, but commenting after all the time i saw it). Thanks for it, love that. Again, i am dreaming about getting there haha. Maybe it will stick here till i come :D

[@HugNation]

So beautiful. Thank you.

[@mostlyharmlessjd]

Fantastic!

[@crystalwarner711]

Great video. I like the inspirational quotes that you focused on. ❤️

[@drumstick74]

Gotta go there some day. Love from Copenhagen.

[@morriebaker1344]

So much fun, so much love

[@lasktdave]

great video. I was there in the midst of all that. it was my first time and I can't believe all the amazing things I saw but also the many I missed. that means I have to go again.

[@ricardocarmona5210]

Awesome video/ music.

[@вячеславамритин]

Потрясающе 💣🐬🍷

[@Michelle_Kaiser]

WAUW this is absolutely stunning. I really love your video. I'm gonna share this video with Mascha Feoktistova, Gregor van Vlierden, Anne Nooshin & Hella thru Twitter.

[@Michelle_Kaiser]

+Michelle Kaiser Sorry i mean Anna(!)

[@burn-life]

[@rachelleverbarendse309]

Haha wilde ik ook doen :)

[@rabiailhan7928]

[@ronniecardy]

Love to watch these videos of places I'll never get to see

[@alexanderreuss5902]

Amazing pictures, a place for dreaming.

[@ericpanissidi6761]

Music and love. Eden

[@AmberMcDonaldhere]

Thanks for filming City Hall, love from Mystikal Misfits

[@bradholroyd6034]

Hi there, Are the rights to any of these images available for purchase? I'm an graphic designer and I'm interested in using one of them for a project I'm working on with a California based brand. Thanks.

[@lgladigan87]

I have always wanted to go to the Burning Man festival, but never have enough money to actually go. Love this vid btw!!

[@DOMOZORROORROZOMOD]

We will bring it to you babe!?

[@GypsyFireDance]

Can't wait to go back!

[@iamestevoo]

beautiful video! one day I will see that dream.

[@BerserkCandyMan]

Thanks for the inspirational video!

[@flowerpowerzz]

Thank You this has touched my heart ... made me laugh and made me cry

[@TanTannaRen]

great photage and music :-) makes me wanna go there!

[@MrSyNRG]

ah man, this makes me miss it so much. wish I could be there this year. well at least I have this video to look forward to. and I was wondering how you got the night scenes so well exposed until I read the description. nice captures and editing :)

[@jenniferrbishop1]

sooooooooooooooooooo good .

[@MaryFCollier]

Great video! I didn't take many pics so this was a wonderful gift. Thank you.

[@kekfreedomheritage5633]

Nice video. Thanks.

[@1setokaiba]

Hola yo soy de México y me gustaría mucho ir como le hago?? hay algo en especial para poder ir?? quisiera formar parte de esta comunidad y vivir la experiencia quiero formar parte del todo

[@robsimmons5758]

Just saw the song list, thanks!

[@robsimmons5758]

Does anyone know the name of the song at the start (you and me against the world)?

[@vidsnme27]

I like how there's two of the same clip of me hugging a group of people while I was stilt walking with friends at the Midway. Hugging people on peg stilts can be difficult but worth it! :D

[@burn-life]

+Cman Hahah, argh. That wasn't intentional. I did wonder, last time I viewed it, why it felt like I had seen the stilt walkers hugging people so often. Now I know!

[@vidsnme27]

+Dr. Yes .....Well, I'm just going to believe that you liked it so much that you had to put it in twice! So I give you a youtube internet playa stilt walking hug for doing so! Great video Dr. Yes!

[@burn-life]

+Cman Yes! That is exactly why I did it. ;) Totally intentional.

[@burn-life]

+Cman Right?? Awesome decomm track.

[@billkennedy7267]

Amazing video. You should be proud

[@Walkwithmetoday]

11:05 Wow... what a gorgeous girl.. love the headpiece as well!

[@don-wy2xy]

whats the song and who's the musician at 5.5 minutes in?

[@Ndeni63]

Combien de temp dur ce festival burningman ?💜

[@ph11p3540]

I would go there just to see all the insane vehicles. I wouldn't be surprised somebody tries to bring a jumbo jet to the Playa.

[@davidjohn9006]

Vim do futuro para dizer que você a de 2016 foi fodaaaa!!

[@SkeletoRicuaTV]

It has always been a dream of mine to go to Burning Man. Too bad I can't afford it at the moment and I live in Puerto Rico. :/ Someday

[@allanz00]

So it doesn't seem like there were many structures that were burned this year..?

[@austinatencio]

Dr. Yes what was this shot on!!!????

[@burn-life]

+Canonmanaustin Sony A7S with Sony's 24-70mm lens on it. Great combo for Burning Man, though I would have liked a wider lens for even better nighttime shots/footage.

[@jenniferrbishop1]

I return, again. I wont miss year three. That is all.

[@Davett53]

Does any one ever have a bummer time, while they are at Burning Man? Where they sit in the dark by themselves in their junky van,...with only the bare essentials, while the whole festival is going on just outside their cracked and dust covered 1990s Van's windows? Dear god,...I hope not.

[@burn-life]

Do enough drugs and anything is possible!

[@MixDancerMan]

this is fucking insane!!!

[@GaryALucas]

I asked the ISS astronauts to try and show Burning Man from space.

[@christinehagman1740]

👍🏼👍🏼✨✨🎉🎉😀😀🎈🎈🎈

[@geordievanderbosch1448]

That's me playing the bass drum at the 10:00 mark...

[@drumstick74]

+Geordie Van Der Bosch BMOB :D Nice

[@ambrebadhippie]

amazing but what's with those insectoid-like sun goggles trend thing though ?

[@ambrebadhippie]

+Starmourn oh I see. makes sense. thanks for the informative reply dear !

[@Jesswanders]

[@robsan52]

Soon, the ufo will land.

[@susanclark7050]

10:27 looks like Jessie from Breaking Bad!

[@Nallanyesmar]

I thought of placing my girlfriend's picture in the Temple of Tears, but, I just couldn't do it. She died a horrible death from breast cancer, and, it seemed like burning her up with cancer a second time. Maybe if I had a copy of her picture I would have felt differently.

[@burn-life]

I am so sorry to hear that, my friend. I hope you're doing ok.

[@Nallanyesmar]

Dr. Yes I manage. Thanks for your concern.

[@chapatiou]

3:18 WTF is that ?!

[@chapatiou]

Really creepy

[@chriswhited]

unconditional LOVE in the human mind is literally impossible. don't use the word UNCONDITIONAL as an EXCUSE.

[@chriswhited]

THE WORD UNCONDITIONAL is merely an excuse to hide the true person. if it's UNCONDITIONAL then i cannot be blamed............it's not my fault. that's horseshit.

[@chriswhited]

there is no such thing a unconditional value. then the left laughs at the christian right?

[@chriswhited]

love is VALUE thus it LITERALLY must have CONDITIONS.

[@Barsabus]

red wine tastes like horse shit

[@dynjarren7523]

A bunch of weirdos building “Art” out in the Desert and burning things! A guy on Stilts waving flags and towering over me like a Giant! I think I’ll pass. The women look good but do I really want to go out to the Desert to meet women who will probably not give me the time of day! I don’t think so. Oh, and the Hippie 60s rehashed philosophy! Please spare me that Peace and Love Nonsense! And how everybody should share everything and love everyone. That’s not how the world is! People love money first and themselves and then maybe family and their dogs and cats! And that’s about it! The rest of the world they could care less about. Whenever I hear a Hippie talk about life in general I just tune out! People believe in Hate and War! And if they didn’t those things wouldn’t exist now, would they? But they do! They’re even getting ready for War in Space which is really going to be stupid because the last thing people should do is take that nonsense into space but you know they will. There will be a first murder in space and a first birth. We are going to bring all our troubles into space with us because human beings refuse to evolve. So I’m pessimistic about the future of humanity so I’m not going to the Desert to meet people! And I don’t think people are advanced enough to live in outer space either! This planet should be enough but it isn’t because we destroy everything we touch. And on that note I’d like to say have a nice life!

[@burn-life]

It's also worth pointing out that it's certainly one of the best places on Earth to see installation art. Very few events/places attract so many artists who think big and can execute, whether it's 4 story tesla coils set to music or giant temples.

[@b2b_ads]

сказка... кто из России, давай поедем в 2016 году?)

[@БелаяВорона-ю3н]

С удовольствием бы. Вот только как?

[@angeline9282]

I don't dig burning man its actually not a festival its a fashion-poser show
