Color Me Rad

[@JoelGalilee]

This reminds me of KickThePJ's 'Colour Bandits' - anyone else seen it? It's like this, but done in a studio with a linear message to it, absolutely beautiful.

[@uploadingjess]

That's such an awesome video :D PJ is legend

[@KM-eb5yo]

message? really? i couldnt find a message :/

[@Justsomerandomsam]

spring rolls Yeah theres a message in Pjs video, its another one of his stories I guess about a colour bandit who hates colour and is in a world of white and yeah

[@KM-eb5yo]

Justsomerandomsam really? do you know which video?

[@Justsomerandomsam]

spring rolls Yeah its called colour bandits, its on his channel and its such a cool video

[@scarlettl8478]

That blonde streak in your hair is indomitable, despite all of the pinks and blues and greens tossed into it, it remains a yellow beacon of hope in a sea of colour

[@MatthewGaydos]

That sweet catch at 0:51

[@AniaMakeupMore]

This should be a promo video for Color Me Rad.

[@vesperholly]

the slow motion shot from 1:16 until it dissolved into the cloud was beautiful and the way it was timed to the music was awesome. chills man.

[@Ganges172]

Exactly. Couldn't say it better.

[@ImGraceless]

Slow-motion Michael Aranda is the coolest Michael Aranda.

[@allieatwood]

This is definitely a video to be proud of! Your music was perfectly timed! I actually just went to bandcamp and saw that you wrote it specifically for this video. It turned out great!

[@Joyweathertalks]

Do you end up inhaling a bunch of the crap they throw at you? I'm just curious because I've never participated in one of these events

[@michaelaranda]

Yeah, but it's just corn starch. The worst thing about it is that your boogers will come out blue and purple for a day or so afterward.

[@Cueball]

***** You make that sound like a bad thing

[@kellyd7159]

***** just corn starch? but it still probs isn't good to inhale that right?

[@mollymayisme]

This is probably one of my all-time favorite videos of yours, Michael. This is awesome.

[@juststeveschannel]

I've just finished watching this three times back-to-back. Beautiful, as usual, but I can't stop wondering...Where the heck did he find the Hannah Montana cereal box? And what was the use-by date on that sucker?

[@CaptainFabulous84]

Cereal is like Twinkies. So full of preservatives they stay edible forever.

[@Horses0rats0peace]

I just ran this yesterday for the second year in a row! Fantastic experience both times! I did wear a bandana over my mouth though, it was hard for me to breathe through the color stations without it.

[@brennaiii]

I've been waiting for this video, and it did not disappoint.

[@hilaryhowser5027]

I still insist that The Color Run is the better organization, but this video is AMAZING! Love love love.

[@SarahZhou]

Saw you at Charlie's panel and thought you were really funny and cool so I did a bit of internet stalking and found your channel! So glad I did :)

[@michaelaranda]

Sarah Zhou Thanks for stalking me! :D

[@JoshuaFletch]

This is so visually satisfying. Big colorful clouds in slow motion. Giving this video 5 out of 5 stars.

[@lailaylen]

This looks incredibly fun! And the video was flawless, as usual.

[@mikiverevikim]

How did you keep the lens so clean? A+ video!

[@Starkid724]

Wow this video is stunning! What beautiful work Michael!

[@samramdebest]

Isn't it extremely hard to breath with all that stuff in the air?

[@michaelaranda]

Not really. It tastes a little weird, but it's not terrible.

[@TheDraconifors]

Such vibrant colors!

[@fizzbangwhizzpop]

I'm running one of these in August! Looks so fun, can't wait!

[@Ygrequesque]

I never thought I would want to do a run, but this looked like so much fun! Great video!

[@DearPajamaParty]

The mash up of all those colors was beautiful.

[@SmileyFacesUnite]

I got to film The Color Run as a part of it's media team in Australia and it looked exactly the same as Colour Me Rad. It was super fun!

[@KaWulfe]

Considering how long it took you to edit this I'm very thankful you made it :)

[@KaraFielding]

Such a cool video. And that music. So good.

[@570gorgonzola]

I love the way this video was shot

[@randomness051]

aww you look so happy Michael. this looks awesome but made me cough just watching it

[@ASolfegeADay]

The only word I can think to describe this is rad!! I thoroughly enjoyed watching this

[@thisisnotamarisa]

This was so cool! I did the color me rad run last year in my city and it was so much fun!

[@flobber8649]

You look super god-like when you're throwing your pigment up - very cool composure Mr Aranda!

[@moonyriot]

Not enough Matthew Gaydos...but still a really rad video Michael!

[@SpellboundSama]

You've just become the only person who's successfully persuaded me to believe that a 5K run could be fun

[@Narnendil]

so beautifully colourful!

[@queenwyntir]

Michael, you are such an incredible artist and human being and holy balls do you have impeccable teeth.

[@thisgirljoanna]

Only word that comes to mind is "gorgeous" haha. Yup this was all gorgeous. I've been waiting for this since you vlogged about it. Thanks for sharing :)

[@ThatTumbleweedGirl]

Wow, what a gorgeously made video!!

[@insomnicolors]

Great shots. It looks like you had a good time. :)

[@JimmySlaughter]

Pretty cool! Have you gotten all of the color dust out of your camera yet? I hear those events are notorious for ruining DSLRs.

[@michaelaranda]

I only took my GoPro (which was in its protective case the whole time) and my iPhone with me. I didn't want to take any of my bigger cameras. The iPhone dusted off just fine afterward.

[@cellogirl0096]

Awesome music and awesome shots!

[@TheKirbyness]

I participated in one of these races and it was a lot of fun! It looks like you had lots of fun too :)

[@xThornlessRosex]

That was the coolest thing, I hope they do those in England Also you got some fab shots there!

[@TheBookShell25]

Wow some really great shots here and it looks like a really fun time! :)

[@NylahK]

TOTALLY WORTH THE WAIT, AAAAAHHHHH. I love it so much.

[@silkenleather]

This just went straight to my bucket list.

[@melschroeds]

Stunning! Loved it.

[@TwinkTwinkle]

That is too cool! It looks really pretty, you took some great shots n_n

[@thephantastic007]

Beautiful.

[@mustardsfire22]

Looks more like a party than a run. In other words, awesome!!!!!

[@stephmufffin]

I loved doing the Color Run last year. Out of all the colors, blue stains the worst. I was still finding patches of blue skin several days later.

[@ClassicDominique]

This made me smile so much...not even sure why. :)

[@divicool72]

I very much appreciate the Hannah Montana cereal.

[@calj27]

I'd love to do something like this, awesome footage!

[@iliveinmyhead]

Beautiful!

[@TheAslanj]

This was such an amazing video and you look so gorgeous in this 😳

[@misanthropistbookworm]

I loved the take on minute 01:38. :D Beautiful!

[@kimberkali77]

This looks like it would be fun (messy, but still fun). I've always thought the Electric Run would be pretty interesting as well.

[@valerie2776]

super cool & A+ edit of that stage dive

[@majkalambert]

the most beautiful 2 minutes of today

[@JoelGalilee]

I was going to ask whether the camera lens was ok with all the colour dust, but then I found out it's cornstarch.

[@versatilechicken]

It would've been cool if you rainbow coloured your blonde stripe with the powder. The audio and the visuals were stunning, awesome stuff, Michael.

[@jessherselfable]

I want to do one of these races so bad. I'm at the start of doing a 5K training program, and hopefully I'll get to where I can run the whole thing (I know that's not the point, but I would love to run it and not just walk it)!

[@Imbedersup]

Lawd, all those pretty colours. Neat video. :)

[@justtaylorr]

Loved this. Have always wanted to participate in a color run (:

[@SeanFictional]

That is such an amazing video. Makes me wanna try something like that, but I'm not sure we have stuff like Color Me Rad in my area.

[@MichaelMMorganm984638]

Awesome!

[@crispygoth]

Great tune! Just wish there was more of it.. could probably stick it in a DJ set there was more of it :-) Cool video as well, that looks like it was fun!

[@Iminthemarchingband]

Did you write the music to fit the scene or edited the video to fit the music? (Lined up pretty awesomely!)

[@steakuccino]

Your footage turned out awesome!

[@thraushtins]

great track with greater visuals!

[@raven_zoe]

This made it look so epic, damn.

[@happy_umi]

Quality is so good

[@Dr.Ratpiss]

This is beautiful omg.

[@N3rdfightermom]

that is beautiful and they should really pay you for some of this footage!

[@JDeeDyer]

Whoa. That was beautiful.

[@pyneapple]

That looked like a good time.

[@ohbbyilikeitrawr]

Nice soundtrack! That was cool! 😄👍

[@glenn2687]

this video is pure aesthetic

[@HeyGuysItsMichaela]

this. was. beautiful.

[@HeyDevz]

How did you keep your equipment, particularly lenses, clean throughout all this? P.S. This looks so much fun! I will add this to my bucket list. :bd

[@QuidditchWiz]

My school is participating in this event so this year is my first time! Can't wait for June 7th :)

[@cecilie234]

beautiful

[@briemiracle]

Colorssssssss!!! (I think I'm in love…)

[@SadSmash547]

Is that MatthewGaydos at 0:22 ?

[@bludelight]

It was definitely worth you wearing the GoPro. This is really cool. Although just watching this footage makes me want to cover my mouth and nose with a wet rag. You didn't hurt yourself when you fell, did you?

[@Elsie1588]

wow, that looks amazing!

[@Msmotionocean]

That looks SO cool!

[@Lauraphoid]

I wish they had these where I live...

[@Lauraphoid]

+Lauraphoid and now, a year later, they do! :D

[@zeenzeenz]

That looks like so much fun

[@ReadHeadPat]

I think we do color runs where I live, now i want to go to one!

[@L4urynking]

This is sick!

[@JoshRath]

Michael, I do wish I was closer to Missoula. I'm over here in very cool Miles City. If only i was closer, I'd love to meet the man with hair that defies the law of natural hair color. ;)

[@Caroline1ie]

Incredible!!

[@holeygeorge]

Amazing video! :D do you know if they'll be going to any other states too?

[@michaelaranda]

This and other organizations that hold similar events have them all over the place. :)

[@nicetsukki]

This was beautiful :)

[@lizaurus]

This is amazing. I wanna make something like this myself.

[@imsokeiko]

Wow, this is great!

[@shaylakp]

That looks so fun.

[@dragona1344]

I liked the shot where you threw the camera in the air...totally dangerous but awesome at the same time :)

[@juststeveschannel]

Pretty sure that was the GoPro, which, in its case, would have been in no danger at all--they're built to take much more abuse than that.. Unless you meant dangerous as in "it could have hit someone in the head," in which case, maybe, a bit, but a risk worth taking for that shot, eh?

[@michaelaranda]

juststeveschannel I was kind of afraid of hitting someone else in the head, which is why I didn't do it in the middle of the crowd. Maybe I'll practice my camera-throwing skills for next time.

[@dragona1344]

Potentially hitting someone in the head was my concern too. But clearly everything worked out okay!

[@SkullFactory21]

That looks awesome! :D
