Fifty People, One Question: London

What might happen when we venture far from home now? Will we find that London light around the corner? Will the rain hide all the dreamers out of sight? They might not want to play our little game this time - or we could look away and miss our chance. Or maybe just a bit of something out there will remind us why we take the time to ask.
It's a simple question and the answers can lead us anywhere. So go ahead, ask yourself
Visit fiftypeopleonquestion.com and post your response.
We also asked this question in Brooklyn, NY - fiftypeopleonequestion.com/locations/3-brooklyn-ny

[@upularFTW]

I watched this video when it was uploaded and come back to it every few years. I always wonder what happened to them all, some might be dead and others might be living their dreams. It makes me think about how time passes and there's nothing you can do about it. It feels like yesterday when I was watching this for the first time in 2009, and now it's 13 years on.

[@gari_uk]

Same now in 2023 - it's probably my most favourite thing on the entire internet!

[@sunspirt]

"where would you like to wake up?" "Alive" - that response gave me the chills

[@kittymyne]

Even years later I find myself thinking about the people in this video - particularly the woman at 3:44. I wonder if she ever found a place to call home.

[@thedeltreedotcom]

Me too. Thank you. :)

[@Semedar]

I found and looked through a really old hard drive I had in a box and hooked it up to my computer. I found my Opera browser favorites file that I backed up. I saw the link to fiftypeopleonequestion dot com and it brought me to this video. I specifically remembered that woman at 3:44 before the video even started playing as well as the guy at 5:08 wondering if he's found a little bit more paradise. He had the best answer imo :)

[@MichealAEdwards]

I hope she found her comfortable bed on mars

[@white_clover767]

Me too

[@serran765]

Beautiful. Can't believe I've gone without seeing this video for so long.

[@edmundpower1250]

Watch it again

[@cefanine]

It makes me realize that these simple questions that we never ever think about can say so much about ourselves...it's very nice!

[@KamilFilms]

After our firs Multiple Award Winning attempt on Fifty People One Question - we decided to do it one more time!! Visit out channel to check it out or watch it here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/j4jFiqiQjJ1_apo

[@visakanv]

You know, I think we should all go around and ask other people these questions. You get the sense that they're thankful for being asked. We could make the world a more beautiful place, all of us together.

[@BakaNeBaka]

I wish I could get this lovely background music... The violin pierced right through to my heart....

[@jcqwater8713]

'probably to my own bed but not necessarily alone' - its been a decade since I watch this and I still remember this answer, I pray to God that in His perfect time, He will lead me to my husband, a Godly man, the one He chose for me, In Jesus Name i pray Amen

[@michaelritchie200]

This is gorgeous. I love the amount of people happy to stay where they are.

[@Thoorgee]

I love love love that very last scene. It's magical

[@samrachproductions]

in paradise, no worries, limitless free for living

[@pierrealejandrochacon7154]

I was about to say make the same comment. So serene, and her answer sounds so warm! Love it.

[@yesimdyinginside]

i cannot stop watching this

[@luke0812red]

Don't know why I like these video's so much such a simple concept but they always make me smile :)

[@XephyrQ]

On my wedding day 25 years ago so I could relive all the good days and fix all the bad ones....

[@fionaazreal]

They each left with a smile. I like that. Made me smile too.

[@Aspekitteh]

I find it nice how in a dark alleyway in Central London on a cool day, you ask questions, and you can see in thier eyes the hope they have. It makes me wonder where and how they are now.

[@theboyjonno]

beautiful film, thank you

[@edmundpower1250]

😊

[@papersamuel]

5:08 is the best answer "Paradise"

[@79milkandhoney]

If he was still single I would marry the first guy

[@ZomgieBec]

+79milkandhoney That's my boyfriend! ^_^

[@edmundpower1250]

@@ZomgieBec is he still your boyfriend?

[@sagas001]

at 4:22 wow...I think a lot of people can relate. great videos by the way, music choice is always perfect...thank you for the smiles.

[@danieljohnsonfilms]

beautiful film!

[@TylerChristine32]

This video helped me discover Chaz Knapp.. I love this video.

[@white_clover767]

Me too

[@visakanv]

I do see where you're coming from. I do admire his passion. That said, I dare say that a century from now, people will look back on this century as a time of glory, honour, courage and excitement. We tend to look backwards and forwards with rose-tinted glasses, while we focus on the flaws and negatives of the present.

[@lafiglia100]

Those people were all so cute

[@destroyerdreams]

I think I'm in love with every single person who appears in this video... Seriously.

[@deathdragonslayer1]

i'd wake up to my last day and have heart to heart talks with my loved ones so that there would be no regrets in their lives.

[@LuciaMoktez]

@KamilFilms I saw that one, and it is the one that has inspired me the most to write about it, and to live writing. You did and amazing and beautiful job KamilFilms.

[@JahazielCastillo]

These videos are paradise.

[@DasGreenCow]

September 28, 2009. I would find myself and tell simply say "Wait."

[@tweakiepop]

I like seeing the flush of unshackled thought that flashes across their faces that takes them to a place they would want to be. It's like they've been given an unexpected gift.

[@flyingfisbeefilms]

Gotta love you tube - this is proof of film making ability, talent and a wonderful subject.

[@lilbitmicaela]

these question i ask my self quite often ,, thank you. i know now im not alone and that others feel the same. you should come to millard, Nebraska!

[@LegionSevenLikeTheNumber]

pink bubble guy and mysterious don juan made this the best thing i've ever watched

[@MarettDagum]

I like the answer of the man at 5:10 most because it is most unexpected for me and there is this spark in his eyes that you can tell he is imagining the place and that he likes what he sees in his head.

[@aikighost]

Love this video and Ive got to say that the girl who first appears at 1:40 in the video is possibly the prettiest woman I've ever seen such a natural beauty.

[@barbwired10]

"in my own bed, but not necessarily alone", nice one!!

[@47waiting4u]

when i saw this video i observed the people's reactions they had like a subtle feeling in their eyes i guess they are happy that a completely strange human being cares for them. "A surge of love, an urge to help mankind overcomes her"

[@Frank_Atlas]

I love these I've seen every one. Very thought provoking question. 5/5. hope you come to Chicago one day haha

[@hamesjargreaves]

This video is awesome! I'd love to have a go at making something like this :) Also the pink bubble above the clouds filled ping pong balls man is are the best!!!!

[@FiftyPeopleOneQuestion]

Thank you. We've actually been asked several times to come to Chicago. (Would be fun! :) )

[@packetmonstr]

The man at the beginning of the video, his response hit me the hardest. He has someone, that everyday, he wants to wake up next to...

[@r0m0n69]

what can I say - Great filming, nice sound and tune + super idea = Good job :)

[@edmundpower1250]

Agreed

[@Nistadme1]

Omg yes the Pink bubble man, #thatkidbehindpinkbubbleman #imaketoouselesshasstagssometimessoyoucanjustdealwithiteverytimeimakeoneofthese

[@TD-jt5ow]

Hahahaha, my thoughts personified

[@Clone56]

Both videos I smiled at the end not even realising it. Thats something to be damn proud of cause im sure im not the only one

[@Juli5able]

lots of happy ! everyone in my city would start to dream on about money, fortune and paradise!

[@Sarah10000]

I agree with this 110%!!!!

[@CamilleonProductions]

3:58 lol, those parents are watching so intently for that kid's answer.

[@reluctantlydancing]

I, personally, would want to wake up….far away. Somewhere sunny. Maybe some distant planet, a far off star, surrounded by the quiet, and unfamiliar stars, with the whole Universe in my grasp. Maybe somewhere by the ocean. Somewhere peaceful and calm and eternal.

[@BakaNeBaka]

@destroyerdreams MUCH LOVE

[@DatH1pster]

@nikkijaneallison this series is amazing, makes me think of the world in a whole differnt way, i keep them in a playlist and everytime i feel down i watch them

[@Unfuckers]

Damn, I want to wake up in the place where I'll feel belonged and needed. I guess everybody just looks forward waking up where they feel happy.

[@mab92mab92]

the first kid, he knows whats good

[@beebeeemm]

Everyone's response is so interesting... and the filming is great.

[@manan007]

the last one! "...., not necessarily alone"? thank you.

[@MrJoystickid]

I'd like to wake up 12 years ago when I was 18 but with the knowledge, experience and memories I have now. I'm in a good place now but just think of what you could have done.

[@mn7164]

the woman at 5:41 is stunning she looks so serene!!

[@wtfutube78]

I love these videos, too bad you didnt make more

[@white_clover767]

They did

[@ladbye]

I was waiting for someone to say "Next to the person I love" ...

[@kruszkova]

why is the music so loud in the background? not everyone speaks english as a first language! it is hard to understand everything with this music :/

[@Mezothemounirian]

I have a question: how do you compress your videos to upload them to youtube without reducing the quality so much? AMAZING video :)

[@kittycats517]

my favorite comment was the man who said Paradise. that is what i would have said. the kind of Paradise were lions lay down with lambs, beautiful flowers, beautiful fields, everyone happy....where if you want to see God or Jesus Christ you know where to find them. thank you for such a thought provoking movie. i think we all want the same thing. to love and be loved.

[@omarmontes90]

This video is better its more inspiring and cheerful then the regret one.

[@theravendemon]

I want to wake up anywhere but here and know things are going to be alright, and then maybe I'll come back someday to fix 'here' up.

[@86devilheadz]

I would want to wake up .. Anywhere warm and happy, I love happy, I love warm but, I was diagnosed with insomnia in 2002 .. So this is a really tough question for me to answer .. I guess, for me it would be "if " I could fall asleep tonight .. And my answer would simply be ,, Heaven. =)

[@abojangles404]

If i knew a way to live through it, i would wake up in the most beautiful place in the universe. Whether it be on an unknown exotic planet, a dynamic formation in the subatomic universe, or in the imagination of the most colorful artist...that would be wild. Don't think i could stay though. Family ties are just too strong.

[@heynub1233]

mine would be middle earth, rivendell...

[@47waiting4u]

the smile at 2.26 made my day :)

[@DrFGeek]

3:44 That poor girl. At the end she looked like she was on the verge of tears.

[@HPBgirl]

I like these videos, thinking what would be my answer, watching listening those other people giving their honest answer. But this time my own answer depressed me. When they ask this question and your answer is something impossible to gain, it makes you sad. But there're just these few answers that aren't hard to reach but knowing that's what you want, still depresses you, y'know? A lot of people, or rather everyone, probably understands that at such a moment you'd wish you could say"my own bed"

[@cosminre]

Where would you want to wake up? Right here, as somone can go in almost any place he sets his mind too and it’s more fun to enjoy the journey not just the destination!

[@mikkow54321]

4:19 This is so cute :)

[@ecrawl032753]

Paradise. Favorite Answer.

[@OLIVERBRAND1]

i did the same in zurich switzerland. hope you gus like it.

[@Karmacutioner]

I got interviewed by these people in colorado. They asked if I could change one thing about my life what would it be.

[@FiftyPeopleOneQuestion]

Thank you! We're mapping out future locations now! Who knows...maybe Houston is not too far off. In the meantime, stay tuned for the next project from Mexico City! Thanks for the compliments!

[@BethanyGraceHolmes]

In Aberdeen with the person I love the most, or wherever he chooses to be

[@lunachi007]

awesome!!

[@ZomgieBec]

me too!

[@SlySkills]

5:47 of course he has a harmonica, look at those shades and hat, it'd be wrong if he didn't. such a great touch

[@destroyerdreams]

@AkynAkshay The song that everyone is looking for, the one that mixes up the violin and the piano, it's "Célébration à une Nouvelle Vie", by Chaz Knapp... And it's one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard...

[@jayouter]

Beautiful

[@smartercat]

In my own house, 17 years ago. So I could meet my mother.

[@white_clover767]

Best answer!!

[@SuzyMisS]

Hugo from Portugal ! !!! YEEEY :D

[@ifilthyouth]

Love it! Please find time to come to me in Orange County, California. I promise you'll get very interesting answers from the people here. Definetly let me know if youll be coming here anytime soon :]

[@blong1998]

I like David from London's smile.

[@grooverheliboy]

That 1st dude Jesus H Christ how indecisive is that guy !! hope he never goes into anything to do with making quick decisions

[@LotesseElfin]

The answer is really simple. Right here, at this time.

[@leoglennlagnason]

I'd like to wake up on top of a high mountain. I've always wondered how it felt to be higher than the clouds yet still keeping my feet on the ground.

[@Fthrmn]

Sometimes I wonder why birds always stay in the same place when they can fly anywhere in the world, then I ask myself the same question.

[@hulizolushka7893]

the second song is Do Make Say Think - Chinatown

[@jakemunn3615]

It is on the album, '& Yet & Yet'. A wonderful, beautiful record.

[@hulizolushka7893]

Indeed, amazing one

[@Sammydo2008]

what beautiful people.

[@Lanallaby]

i love the first guy, really beautiful intro

[@Slimgusty]

i would wake up back when i was 6 so i could warn my father of his cancer. RIP dad

[@Omarv8power]

@nikkijaneallison im here for you nikkijane!!! smile and i hope your life gets better!!

[@sinsoo]

In a world where my friends were happier. :)

[@shirafuzzi]

The comment about going back in time to fifteen years ago to fix his first mistake absolutely killed me. Sometimes I wish I can do that. And then sometimes I know that I wouldn't be here if I could.

[@dandymcgee]

I feel you bro, She is so beautiful..
