Burning Man 2018 Film: "Ignite" 4K

[@mikefekula8279]

I don't know why but I started to cry watching this. I think it is that there are still people capable of forming this kind of community, for however long, wherever it may be, and whatever it takes to do it. Bless you and thanks. M

[@snowsurfr]

Mike Fekula you should experience the temple brotha, it’s heavy and incredibly profound. Our society has absolutely nothing like it. Every virgin comes for the party and art and but are mostly impacted by the temple, the gifting and the occasional DPW insult. 😂

[@mikeo6632]

Just wanted to reiterate what everyone is saying. This is beautiful. Thank you for your art!

[@ignitemovie7302]

Thank you Mike!

[@bradleyamrhein1092]

This is the most beautiful and realistic video I have ever seen.

The Best Burning Man movie which I saw last time!

[@orlandolanderos5750]

Awesome production, amazing event. Would love to go someday.

[@sherirex7177]

♥ These are the people who will thrive when governments fall. They are more in tune with themselves, this world and the universe than any of us watching. Thank you so much for sharing your experiences. I have been watching from afar for years and thoroughly enjoy all of it. Installation art at it's finest. Life is Art. Love and Peace to you all. ♥

[@hauteteapot349]

Tears streaming down my face, this will be my 7th year. And as I am amidst the pre-burn stress, I needed this reminder about why I'm actually doing this... Burning Man is so important to me. I was looking for a video to try and show a friend what Burning Man is about, and this short film hits it home. Thank you friend

[@timherrington6295]

I had to watch it twice. It hit me in the heart. It made me cry.

[@abbaby555]

I worked in law enforcement and one year we were sent to assist the local county sheriff's Dept at this event, it was very nice and until a plane crashed... Then we got busy. But the people attending were polite and respectful and helpful during the aircraft accident. I truly enjoyed my experience even though I had to work

[@TurnerRentz]

From the film...A society focused on the individual. One week, celebrating humanity. A pilgrimage to disconnect. No inhibitions, no judgement. No rules. ... Ten principles. Nice work!

[@calvincheung2571]

How I miss home. 2019 I will return. Watching this during the 2018 Burn has made me realize I've been away for too long. Thank you! This is one of the best videos I've seen about Burning Man.

[@PoetWithPace]

We can be ourselves, wherever we want, whenever we want. We don't need festivals, or rituals or gatherings to feel amazing. we are amazing. That is all. Thank you for listening :-)

[@allthingsharbor]

I agree, Running Guru. What was it Dorothy said in Wizard of Oz?!!

[@dmury12]

so then why dont you do it? i agree 100% but this is easier said then done in a society that discourages self expression. if someone were to walk down the street naked, (being themselves, literally their physical selves), they would be arrested. why is it right to arrest someone for being themselves? this is just one extermemly basic example. the truth is, youre right. and its what everyone at burning man believes as well. i just expierenced my first burning man and it changed my life forever. thats beauty of it. its whatever you want it to be, literally empowers you. it can be just another festival or the moment you find yourself and learn to truly LOVE.

[@shuffman8094]

Running Guru According to this BM census/demographics report..’a sense of belonging’ was the top reason for going. drive.google.com/file/d/1pXuvtM065ZYDGBVzo-mTcXgTotGTnbEX/view

[@PoetWithPace]

where did i say, it was not a powerful experience?

[@PoetWithPace]

we can belong to many things without being physically together. Is that in the census?

[@elainng9182]

Watching this I felt: Drama. Excitement. Adrenaline. Smiles. Tears. All in only 17:53 mins. Gawd damn this deserves an Academy Award.

You don't have much of a life, do you?

[@felixkrull7704]

This film is pure beauty. Thank you.

[@EdricSubur]

I went to my first burn this year and rewatching your video just brought me back to the playa with all it's beauty. It's hard to fully capture the magic of Burning Man on record but you did so so well! Not only the arts, parties and costume but also the people, love, spirit, creativity and community. Hats of for sharing this magic with the universe!

[@ryanthompson7486]

As mystical as life gets. I know I have to see this in person before its my time to cross over. I had an intuitive dream that brought my attention to this and I translated the dream and it was telling me that I must attend this in my life for numerous reasons like to cure past traumas and to grow spiritually

[@EphemeralHumanBeing]

@@ryanthompson7486 you will go 🙏🌟

[@mortalindab4861]

So emotional this video. It’s all about love,be understood, and feelings inside and outside on you. It’s about us. I feel so happy I’ve when I not be in there but I can feel every little thing in a movie and I started image me in this event.

[@hexstar8576]

Soo much said, with so little words. Thank you

[@Hayseman-zk3do]

That is the reason why Burning Man will be apart of my life until I die. You have captured this phenomenal community perfectly. Thank you.

[@ignitemovie7302]

Thank you so much!

[@joemonstermaker2575]

What a bunch of overdramatized hippy crap. I’ve been a burner for two decades... it’s an expensive party in the desert it isn’t some spiritual life changing soul searching psychobabble journey. Jesus H...

[@alexhirka]

My twelfth time coming up in a week - and the great thing about this event is that it can be that "expensive party" for you - and lots of other amazing experiences for other people. I certainly bring much much more to it, and get back much more from it than any "party" could provide; and my perspective would be shared by many and discounted by many. The magic of this city is that you can make of it what you will. The text in this clip is a bit heavy-handed, and the music a bit Hollywood, but visually it is a good 17 minute representation of the myriad wonders that happen there.

[@emmacelene8030]

Joe Monstermaker actually, a burn is what you make of it. :) if you chose for the experience to be all about the party, that’s on you. But if you chose to see yourself in everyone you meet, the experience because a never ending journey of self discovery. Much Love!!

[@therobloxdoodler8607]

So,, What about the guy that ran in last year,, AND YOU ALL STAYED TO WATCH ,, the important thing is the party right?? We know what your ritual is actually about

[@lisahorn3639]

Really captures the community so beautifully. Thank you for immortalizing so many magical memories from last Burn. Stunning

[@samaya5215]

Haven't been out to the dust since 2008. This year I felt slightly home - sick. This video made it even moreso. This is a great documentary on why and how BurningMan is NOT just a party. Thank you Larry. RIP.

[@timebandit2951]

This is hands down, THE BEST BURNING 🔥 MAN 🔥 VIDEO, SO FAR, THANK YOU!

[@colinparker9267]

2018 was my final year of going for eight consecutive years. Thank you for igniting the memories and reminding me how significant BM has been in my life and development as a human being.

[@MoviesSam]

Whether you agree with what Burning Man represents or not, you have to agree that this is a beautifully done documentary. Outstanding work guys. I've never been a Burner, but regardless of the negative comments from people below (who I'll bet have never been there) I hope to make it one day.

[@thomaspryor8202]

I have been watching video on Burning Man for over a decade. This might be the best I have seen. Well Done!

[@b.s.adventures9421]

Thanks larry. You were the spark that brought us together to co-create this beauty.

[@patito77014]

I’m returning to burning man for the second time, since 2011. I’ve attended 30 or so regional burns since then. It has completely changed my life. I’ve never seen a film capture the true essence of burning man, bravo. 7 days )*(

[@ReasonablyRetro]

Thank you for this gift. It’s hard to put into words your experiences at burning man but this video brought me to tears. The temple scenes took me back home.. crying with friends and saying our goodbyes. I can’t thank you enough.

[@StephErr94]

This is by far the best film I have seen regarding burning man. It brought tears to my eyes, and so much joy to my heart knowing that we leave in a week! Thank you

[@ekaterinakolodyazhnaya503]

Crying here. Thank you. The most precious video I've ever seen. Mindblowing. 🙏

[@ForcesPlay]

This was the most cinematic, most epic, most inspiring movie I've seen in quite a while. It made me smile at one moment and made me tear up the other. The scenes caught on camera were just mesmerizing. I hope this movie gets the attention in deservers. Burning man was on my bucket list before, but now it's kind of a dream attending it..

[@EphemeralHumanBeing]

This was my first burn (2017). Larry Harvey’s last burn. It took me years and years to finally get there (for many reasons). Your film is still the absolute best example of the emotional depth I feel at Burning Man and the film I show and recommend to all of my friends wondering what the heck it’s about. I make installations for Burning Man now and it’s a totally new experience. Thank you for your art!

[@אליאלבן-דן]

Outstanding videography and editing.

[@mollyz2599]

There are only a few people & places which have made me feel unconditionally loved: from my sponsor in my 12 step program, from my meditation teacher, and then from burning man. Can't go back this year, missing home so much.

[@infiniteinnocence]

ugh. the person at the temple at 9:34 always gets me

[@gregknipe5358]

she is all of us

[@rey_nemaattori]

I find that whole segment very emotional. All these messages, people fighting cancer, abuse, injustice or simply letting go of what they hold dear, everybody has lost a loved one, a family member, a pet or some object precious to them. I can only imagine the collective relieve of bottled up emotions of the crowd when it all goes op in flames, sending their prayers to the heavens. Must be such a spiritual moment.

[@jasmineg.5699]

This was so beautiful. Thank each of you.

[@roycroftjones9924]

So good. And it only scratches the surface of the experience.

[@jacobmosovich]

Whenever i need a fresh start i will watch this. And see their faces as everything burns. And i will know we are all still here at the end of the day. I am dark and i am light i am good and i am bad. I am order and i am chaos. I am in balance i am at peace.

[@TrzCharlie]

Incredibly well done. Thanks for making me think about humanity as a whole.

[@justinbohannan]

This is the most incredible thing I've ever seen.

[@madelinefrances628]

This is an incredible film that really captures the true essence of Burning Man! To all the haters...we don't want you to come anyways! Stay away with your human level conciousness

[@lightningminded]

I love burning man more than almost any other place. I have been 5 times. This is a beautiful video. I cant help think this video would be more accurate if a dj was playing annoyingly in the background while the narrator is trying to talk in the beginning. the. dance. music. never. stops. never. Leaving burning man and living life after in the 'normal world' is also really hard and worth showing a peak into.

[@mctristar]

Fantastic place in the world, created by people in the white desert. You are reborn, like a phoenix in those places. A dream to visit Black Rock City

[@TheArturoambrosio]

What an astonishing video you made Ryan. You should get more visibility and recognition on this great film. Much love back and thanks for sharing this experience.

[@bethroesch2156]

Without a doubt one of the best short films I've seen. You captured the essence of it. The beauty of it

[@a_d_a_m]

Thank you for making this movie! It's beautiful :)

[@tammyrobinson1613]

2019 is they year I'm going! I want to experience this. Working the next 12 months building my health up to go! I'm living this vicariously through a couple friends right now! Amazing. I've learned so much about the work that goes into this, the community, co-operation, leaving not trace, gifting, etc of this event from a boyfriend. So impressed

[@snowsurfr]

Tammy Robinson that’s a great attitude and approach. It’s an amazing place! You could watch videos for a lifetime but will still blown your mind, test you and reach deep into your heart. That is the beauty of BRC. Be prepared for the long waits during egress and exodus, especially if it’s windy. Have your supplies accessible. Bring playa gifts for people you meet, whether it’s something you made, a bad joke anything or bad advice. Anything goes. Have a grand time!

[@Grundalizer]

@@snowsurfr How do you get tickets if they're sold out in a minute?

This is a super legit video. Capturing a randomized space like this and giving it tone, emotion, and beautiful poignant moments is not an evident task. So, bravo. Well done.

[@yahoorosie]

This film brought me to tears at the end. Thank you for letting me experience something that I am still needing to experience. It really opens up your mind, to just let things be as they are and this world is all about US. thank you a million times!

[@snowsurfr]

yahoorosie get the ticket. Go. You won’t regret it.

[@yayaLENTA]

I missed last year and hope I never miss a year again! What a release of emotion and human spirit this place is. It's impossible to describe, it changes you. Even this incredible video doesn't capture the places in your soul BM takes you, no drugs needed. Everyone who is upset at this event without ever having been, Burners are a self-selecting group, so if you don't want to go, we honestly probably don't need you there. Haters don't do well out on the playa.

A Burning Man city, built in a week, all gone in one night~ It is huge symbol of our lives, all we do and learn...and build over a lifetime, then gone in a moment of death....death do us part.

[@BillAnt]

Couldn't have said it better... all our material possessions we amass in a lifetime are so meaningless when it's all said and done, yet we keep on doing it like some possessed maniacs. After all, we're all just sailing on a ship of fools.

Jesus slash your wrists already...whatever happened to celebrating life while you’re here.

Depends on if the spirit outlives the body, there seems to be some evidence that it does or maybe that memory can gets passed thru time. I would say the jury is out on that

Its built in 6 weeks and takes about as long to make it go away... I know, I work there...

[@TheWilson565]

I want to go to Burning Man just once before I die. I', 66 years old, and my not live long enough to be there. Time is running out at a faster rate then I can believe. I pray that I may get to find a way to see this great gathering of humanity some day. I long in my heart, and despair. Please God, just one time. Just one time. I have to see the Burning, or I will never rest. Somehow, some way. Please.

[@kathleendover2685]

Done very well, thank you brother Ryan. You have captured and told our story as no one else has done. You have captured the "heart" of Burning Man/BRC. Thank you for the beautiful art from 2017. For those that have never been but decide to judge it, that is where you falter. You should not judge something you have never experienced. This includes other humans being human. Worry about your own path, that should keep you busy. Motherprism

[@xandergreat]

Wow that is a great produced film about Burning Man. I love it. It captures the spirit and the feelings about this whole festival so good. That's how a film should be. When you actually can feel the emotions of the people there. And these drone shots just look amazing.

That! was one of the three most gorgeous and emotionally touching scenes I have ever seen. Unfortunately only on screen. I am almost 10.000 miles away and the biggest wish for the rest of my life will be being part of this increadible community. I have never found such real living hearts like myself. You! are the world I belong. I know nobody like you. Life feels so empty without you after I have seen this, among these anonimous and superficial monkeys today. I hope to meet you one day. Tears from Germany throughout the entire world to you. And thank you so much, who had the ultimate idea and to all, who helped organising this spectacular event every year...

Were you get the devil into this I don’t know. This is by far in my bucket list. (Adding to it: this film is so amazing, the cinematography is stunning. The editing is so perfect, I don’t even want to know how much time it took to edit all of this together. Incredible job, whoever made this film!!!!!!)

[@broadcast3ful]

Well, if you are an art kid, go for it.

[@samaya5215]

Funny that most of those doing the 'shitting' seemingly have never been to BurningMan yet are making a lot of judgments about what it is and what it is not. But Rob, that's what many people do - judge that which they haven't experienced, making up their minds without actually being open minded and first experiencing something. Welcome to the human condition. It's called prejuidice. Note: If anyone wants to hate on my comment...that's perfectly legit. It's you're right to do so - and public comments open one to such, but just know, I won't bother to re-engage in anything but civil discourse. Name calling is immature. I'm not going there. Rob, I've been to BurningMan 4x. It's been a while. Last time was 2008. I don't do drugs....so the accusation of it being nothing but a 'rave party' - sorry nope. Are there drugs there? Sure - same as most concerts, bars and other public venues. It wows me that anyone can watch this entire vid - with an open mind and get nothing but 'hate' from it. Still to each his own. That is the beauty of one of the lessons of BurningMan - each of us is on our own path so there is no need to argue who is right, who is wrong. There is no right/wrong in this case, just different viewpoints based upon each persons path in life. Personally, most of the BurningMan people I know - while not perfect - who is - are mainly filled with a lot of love and tolerance for other individuals. I myself strive to be non-judgmental (strive - I too have my own thoughts) and definitely authentic and open minded.. I believe you get out of things mainly what you put into them. You see evil where you expect to. You see good where you expect to. Sam out.

Seems like i'm going to be there some year. And yes, great work on the video. All the best from Moscow, Russia.
