Do you want to know why this style of video is effective now? It's because we're all fed up with overly edited and fast-paced content. This here is like a moment when time has paused, and we're stuck in it, appreciating the genuine side of life. It feels like real life once again. :)

[@Abdulvnwest]

I mean, this is kinda edited and fast paced if you think about it

[@n0340]

You know that if you are fed up with it you can maybe stop watching, no one is forcing you to watch shorts so if it ruins your mood why do it

[@sarahsa343]

Because this is shot and edited in like-a movie making. Lowkey not an editor but my eyes still can catch every motion

[@gamnaishel]

​@@n0340It's addictive.

editor: okay so do you want a vlog, documentary, music video or art? bennett: yes

This is not theater, or a movie... not even a story... somehow you were able to purvey an absolute experience through sound and sight. You are living the life. I envy you and I hope you keep making things like this. Art.

[@gengarjuice69]

i imagine this is something you'll show your kids some day and they'll absolutely admire you for it

[@trtl9106]

I feel like I couldn’t really enjoy my early youth. Be that my over bearing parents, my insecurities, my lack of assertiveness, my culture, or just shitty people around me, I feel like I was always limited by whatever happening around me. This video gave me a glimpse of what I missed out on, but I’m still excited to see what I can do for myself, because now I feel ready to live for myself.

[@Catzy.15]

maybe it was always you

[@trtl9106]

@@Catzy.15 oh definitely. It was a combination of how I saw the world at the time and my letting go of my own autonomy for the sake of “not being a nuisance to other people”

[@yourfavoritememory4223]

@@trtl9106nah, don’t blame yourself too much! The environment you grow up in has a big impact on how you see yourself and the world

[@trtl9106]

​@@yourfavoritememory4223 While I did say that, I don't think I blame myself too much anymore. Upbringing is so integral to how we see the world, so I can see that how I react to the world is a direct effect of the world around me, but I can also choose to think otherwise. Recently I've been interested in trying to let go of my biases and really "think otherwise" in all facets of my life. I've been feeling a lil lost because of it, but I've been finding more of myself through new experiences and new people. Kind of exciting, kind of scary

[@smilinduck8746]

I want to manifest this kind of friendship man, this is beautifull

[@GlenVisuals]

Your work is on another level dude. Such a crazy balance between vlog-like style but feeling like a movie, and really cool seeing bts of the music vids and directing. I could watch this sh*t for hours.

[@fishmonger__]

hardly "another level" but its nice

[@mukrabdavid9127]

this has been in my watch list for so long, feel like I pulled out treasure from the vault.

[@jacoberickson9326]

this felt so real in every way i’m not sure what any of it was about but i felt so connected to every part as if i were there. i’m not even sure there’s a word to describe this type of art but it’s amazing and makes you feel such a range of emotions

[@thr6453]

I don't know why i clicked on this and how those 18 minutes passed. It was truly a piece of art, I didn't got bored at any point which is surprising. As in this era of flashy, fast moving content, this video just gave me piece and I slowed down for a while. Thank you youtube for recommending this and a huge shoutout to the creator Bennett Coast.

[@artcross3532]

Loved how the first half of this video was just swedencore

[@obxclean237]

I have no idea who any of these people are or why this popped up in my timeline but I loved watching it and feel like these guys are living their life out exactly like they are supposed to… I’m 24 years old everyday until I look in the mirror and realize holy shit my face is turning grey and then I remember the inevitable truth of the matter is soon I’m going to be turning 40 years old and there was so much I thought I would have done by now.. from the depth of my soul I can truly attest that indeed Growing Up Hurts 😔 ..Please Bennett take the time to now to enjoy those around you and take advantage of the opportunities your dreams have given you because one day you will wake up with a grey face too, all alone, you and your friends have all grown apart.. and those same dreams that seemed so close to reality that that they actually started manifesting into real life time and time again ..will eventually seem to just stop being as magical and will drift further and further from existence So… Thank you for reminding me of the magic the universe brings you when your young.. before everything becomes so serious ..and I hope you continue to follow your dreams while you still have the time to because no matter what..you will eventually find success in life after you do what ever it is repeatedly every day over and over ..so you might as well find it while doing something you love ;-)

[@meikebeumer]

@obxclean237 I think the feeling of being free and not taking life to seriously is something that can be found in every age. I wish for you to read your own message and think about what you can do (at your age) to bring back the feeling of this kind of joy you're getting from this video into your life. Cause it definitey is possible. Go call one of those friends you are talking about, go to that concert, go read that book, pick up a new hobby. It is not too late, you literally still got so much time to do stuff. Make use of it! Don't be afraid to wake the child in you. Make the time and change your current mindset, if you think it will make you happier.

[@meikebeumer]

(I do think your message to make something out of life, especially at a young age is beautiful and really important!)

[@AboveTheBridge]

when you made 'are we losing touch?' i found myself revisiting the video so so often. the colors, and the music, and blend between the music and images, and most importantly the feeling, are things that i couldn't unsee. this video is even more impactful. the way that you see the world and re create it through the lens of a camera and direction, is absolutely incredible. the combination of things that you create is a world that feels so real, in a time where almost nothing does.

[@BennettCoast]

thank you for giving it your time

[@nicholasbannana5877]

What an amazing change of pace from quick and heavily edited videos to slow and edited just enough to not feel slow type of videos. This video is a piece of art.

[@borfeto2761]

I can't describe how much I love this. As a filmmaker, it's like all I've ever wanted to see in a video. Truly inspiring.

[@lachlanmartinez4885]

This just proves you are so much more than a musician and a cinematographer, also a true artist. Your nuance and your creative decisions do not go unnoticed. Experiencing your works are an honour. Truely amazing!

This felt so alive, I could feel the movement through the screen. Unlike the vast majority of videos on here, it was miles from static. I loved this video more than words can even describe

[@bridgetteslater2519]

I was tearing up by the end of this video. Reminds me so much of all the time I spent making videos growing up into my early 20’s. The infamous “we’re running out of daylight” line had me cheesing so hard. Now I’m about to board a plane for a meeting I have tomorrow for my corporate job. Not that I hate it, but this video has me reminiscing and thinking about what life would be like if I had taken the creative route. “Growing up is hard” is the perfect tagline for your stuff. I listen to your music on repeat all the time and it always brings out this childlike yet very real and emotional side. Thanks for showing the BTS of making one of my favorite songs! Love seeing you grow! ❤

[@chadj1797]

Everything about this video is perfect - The colour grading - Ambience - Cinematography. I'd love to know what camera you guys shot this on?

I NEED to know what type of camera you used for this masterpiece of a video, its not a need its a MUST

[@geekothegecko]

Notice the replay value that is added on videos now that shows most replayed, in the very beginning it spikes, then drops down to almost nothing. This just goes to show how low peoples attention spans have gone and how little patience people have nowadays. Its sad.

[@auratwo6496]

y'all are so cool. insane color grading as always too. every shot FEELS good.

Fascinating snapshot of your life.

[@IMSOTIREDOFBEINGATWINK]

I’m not even halfway through and I’m crying, I know people tend to really beat the depression horse to death, but I’ve struggled with depression which for me almost feels like all I can see is gray, my mind jumps out at and latches onto everything around me that is wrong, things like a young death or how people tend to treat each other or the state of the world at large, and it’s in moments like these that I get a glimpse of what someone like yourself literally sees the world as, like I linger on apathy or a lack of motivation whereas you live in the immediate often colorful moment, when the girl was dancing in the empty apartment I might usually over worry about how we’re going to furnish it as opposed to how the camera portrayed it as a beautiful and intimate moment with the person that makes you happy, this video isn’t just a collection of randomly occurring kinda cool moments it is the message I needed today more than ever, that there is hope and that life will have as much meaning to me as I decide to give it. THANK YOU

[@universalontology]

Reminds me of depersonalization/derealization; contrary to what others are saying about how it makes them feel connected, this actually reminds me of how disconnected and empty I feel with dp/dr. Like I'm just here watching everyone else live their life and I can't do anything to become connected and start living again. I'm still present and going through the motions in every moment, but everything is empty - I genuinely don't feel alive even though I'm still going out and visiting people and acting normal. I'm trying to live my life, but I just feel disconnected constantly. Those who have experienced dp/dr will be able to relate. It's like hell on earth because I can still remember how everything used to be and how I used to feel. I can't function normally anymore. I'm putting on an act everyday, pretending to be rather than being because I can't actually be present- I've tried; I want to be depressed about it but I'm disconnected and numb to that even. I have nothing.

Never have I seen something quite like this, its in between the emotions of music and life. Its the crumbs but the crumbs are the true experience that we often take for granted. It's the flavors that go overlooked or the things that matter that are often hated because they can be strenuous or exhausting but when you look back it all makes sense. Beautiful piece of life/ a genius way to capture the art of it all if I do say so myself!
