Welcome to Night Vale Spring Tour Stop Motion Video

[@SilverLikeStarlight]

St. Louis @ 4:32. That was one of the last great outings I had with my best friend, Matt. Almost two weeks later, he killed himself. Night Vale is something that I introduced him to soon after we met over a year and a half ago. We were going through a muddy corn maze together, able to see due to the light off of a nearby billboard. We walked as Cecil's voice said from my phone: "... a quiet desert community where the sun is hot, the moon is beautiful, and mysterious lights pass over us while we all pretend to sleep." It was the perfect introduction. We decided two days in advance, the three of us, to go to St. Louis for the show. He wanted to cosplay Cecil, but he couldn't find his vest, so he was just wearing a purple dress shirt. I told him he looked like Bruce Banner and he loved that. I will never forget that night and the wonderful community I felt. That night, Cecil's final words became my new mantra: "Stay tuned for tomorrow, no matter what." I just wish that Matt had listened.

So sorry for your loss. (hugs) Hold onto that good memory. Just because the darkness was more than you could fight on his behalf doesn't mean you didn't share something good.

[@SilverLikeStarlight]

thanks

[@ravent3016]

I'm so glad you had that time with your friend Matt, and that you can remember the good times along with the sadness at not having his company now.

[@anonymouse903]

This must have been hell to shoot and edit, congrats Dylan!

[@gourmetfuckinfruit5629]

For some reason this just warms my heart in a really indescribable way..

[@FrankandJoe3]

Blown away. Fantastic way to show off the tour

[@hadarpepperstone5156]

This is so amazing. Kudos to Dylan- this must have taken a long time. I actually saw the camera on the stage during the show and I was wondering what it was for. I can honestly say I was not disappointed. Thank you guys for all that you do!!!

[@chaosoverture2329]

This was amazingly well done! The music, the editing, it all blended together to make something that left you feeling a kind of happy belonging like walking into a room of old friends you haven't seen in a while. Thank you for creating a world were all of us oddities can all join together in a friendly little desert community.

[@DustyChica25]

This was really awesome. Thanks Dylan for being so creative and managing to include literally everyone in this video. I love our WTNV community.

[@SomeoneCalledDana]

I see Night Vale's getting uber creative with the videos. I adore it! This format was breath-taking, and extra special for anyone who was at one of these shows (I'll get there someday soon!)

[@ShelbyD920]

I may or may not have cried while watching this. I am in one of these photos. I was there. I lived in that moment. I am so honored to have been a citizen of Night Vale for one night of my life.

[@Razzlewolfflight]

That was incredible! Give Dylan my sincere congratulations for an AMAZING shooting and editing job! He clearly knows what he's doing. **sigh** I WISH I could have gone to one of the live shows, but I had neither the money or the transportation. Maybe next year...

[@MayaWalkerXxX]

What a fantastic and creative way to remember the tour. So much hard work went into this. Thank you Dylan, for creating this and sharing your adventures with us. I hope to see you all next time you tour the U.S. I want to say than you to all those who helped make Welcome to Night Vale what it is today. You are all truly amazing.

[@samzisk2098]

I went to the first Boston show on May 20th. It made me feel all the things, was a highlight of my year and quite possibly changed my life. It has helped me "tune in for tomorrow by whatever means necessary". I must say, a giant THANK YOU to Mr Fink, Mr Cranor, Ms Bashwiner, Mr Baldwin, Mr Marron and the whole rest of the cast for such an amazing experience. This podcast in general makes me feel ALL OF THE THINGS AT ONCE. It is genuinely beautiful, touching, sad, joyously happy, thought provoking and everything else positive I could say. So thank you to everyone who made this possible. I am a different person because of you.

[@saijalovesmusic]

This is such a creative way to show the tour, I love it! Dylan is so talented. It must have taken ages to film and edit this, but it was definitely worth it because the end product is so incredible! :)

[@Kaleidostarstar]

Thank you Night Vale for putting on such an excellent show. Go home and rest those voices, you all deserve a long, LONG, rest.

[@Phrixy]

I am so PROUD of all of you! Thank you so much for all that you do!

[@glowstickblood]

This is absolutely astonishing. I love it! Fantastic! (That one dislike needs to rethink their life choices, by the way)

[@ericskarbowski9491]

Glenside, PA! Third row from the stage, a night that I will never forget... thanks to everyone who participated on and off the stage with Welcome to Night Vale. I really can't wait for more live shows, I always wait with bated breath each podcast release, and with the books coming out I can't wait to read them. You guys have given me hope and happiness and continue to do so. Hey. Thanks.

[@rebeccamarshall7717]

This is such a beautiful video. It makes me so happy to see all of these honorary Night Vale citizens that were able to make it out to see the show, as well as to see all the hard work each of the people responsible for the podcast and the tours and whatnot come together. Dylan created a marvelous video full of marvelous people. And the pictures themselves are all beautiful.

[@WaalkR]

wowowow amaaaazing! Ahh, what a beautiful register, and you all seemed to enjoy everything so much! Kudos to the editing and planning, lovely! The song was beautiful, the fans were amazing, I'm so thankful for this video! Even all the way here in a rainy winter in Brazil I could feel the joy of the tour! Congratulations and keep making great content!

[@WaalkR]

ah, so many exclamations, sorry, sorry hahahah

[@Writergurl]

It was such a great show. Thanks so much for everything all of you do to bring us Nightvale.

[@DKlarations]

Hank Green @ 2:26! :-)

[@Waterflame]

DKlarations I'm in the audience, somewhere near the bottom right between 4:40 and 4:43 but I'm not completely sure which row was mine. :)

[@andieeereyesss]

Still can't get over the sense of love that permeates this entire video.

[@koishiou]

I so wish they had come back to Canada, this looks awesome!

[@grayrainbow100]

FOUND MYSELF AT 22 SECONDS!!!! HOLY CRAP!!! I'M PRINTING A SCREENSHOT AND TACKING IT UP ON MY WALL!!! THIS IS SO GREAT!!!!!! *is totally not crying*

[@katherynbliss9811]

The Birmingham part! I can see myself in the audience!... And now I'm thinking about how awesome that night was! ... And I am totally NOT crying right now. Such a beautiful video!

[@m.holmes]

One of the most beautiful pieces of stop-motion I've EVER seen, fantastic job, Dylan!! :D

[@CraftyFae]

That was so incredibly creative and enchanting! Could not tear my eyes away until the video ended. Such a great way to sum up the tour! :D

[@CelesteTsukino]

It was such a great tour! So awesome to see all the fans dressing up! Congrats on the great editing and can't wait for you to come back to Ohio!

[@MusicMadSuperAwesome]

What a lovely memento of the tour for you guys, and a beautiful way to show it off and bring us fans with you :3 Can't wait to see the Night Vale team in the UK in September!

[@Heeby-Jeebies]

This is REALLY impressive! Considering all the time involved in the shooting of this video, sure. But also all of the travel we know is involved to put on all of these shows that had to be written and rehearsed! Thanks for making this! In some small way, it kind of made me feel like I was part of what you're doing.

[@DvlDddy]

Had a really great time at the Louisville show. Hope to see you all again next year! And this video was really neat, could see my buddy and I get to our seats.

[@PossiblyKora]

There's me with my glow cloud! All hail and thanks for a fantastic show in Buffalo!

[@Ticktok_of_Oz]

Wooo, the LA show was my first WTNV live show. I feel so spoiled that we got to see Intern Dana! I got to meet Jasika Nicole a couple of years ago. She is the SWEETEST, TINIEST person ever. I just found out you're coming to san diego an hour before tickets go on sale, so I'm hovering with my finger over the button. SO EXCITED!

[@franziskazarl4516]

This is absolutely beautiful. I've got goosebumps all over my body now.

[@meganflint5108]

I love this. This looks like so much fun. It just looks wonderful. You put a lot of work into it and it looks amazing. I hope you will do it for all your tours. It's a great video and you all look amazing.

[@BlueOLEARY]

Very clever, and very well put together. Kudos to Dylan and whoever else put the video together. And kudos to the entire cast! I loved seeing you guys in Lawrence, and I hope to see you again sometime in the inevitable future.

[@MidnightsDeath]

I could just make out my friends and I in the Nashville one. That was an excellent tour and a brilliantly artful way to show it off.

[@hatmouse]

This is an absolutely beautiful video and it looks like it took so long to film/edit yet it is done so well! Thank you for making this amazing extra content when you have no obligation to do so

[@Serpentine_Muse]

Wow! This was such a pleasure to watch!

[@UmbrellaCorpGirl]

Speechless. What a beutuf video. Going to have to watch this on my laptop and pause it in Tucson so I can see myself 3 rows in. Time travel, Nightvale style.

[@cutecitcat]

Sweet film. No tears. Really. Ahem. Thanks Dylan!

[@aussiebaka4588]

That was an incredibly beautiful video, and as a film student, I can appreciate how much effort actually went into it. How painstaking! How worth it. Gorgeous.

[@papermanamana]

What a great video! I traveled from Canada to see the show in Boston and it was amazing. Definitely worth the long drive!

[@naramurasaki]

I'm somewhere in the audience for the St. Louis show! I still have so many fond memories of that night!

[@ZombieInTheSun]

This was weirdly beutiful. Just like Nightvale itself. What a wonderful idea for a tour video. Plus: 2:36-2:38 what lovely behinds you all have xD

[@elizabethwear4113]

You guys had an amazing show in Boston, my friends and I had a blast! Please come back soon!

[@MultimediaPanda]

Was grinning the whole time I watched this, waiting to see the one I went to (Oakland, CA) , to see what it looked like from the other side, and seeing what all the other shows looked like too. this is so cool!

[@FlyKiwi]

Thank you for including the trigger warning at the start of the video, something that a lot of people don't think about!

[@Whatareulooknat]

This is so cool... I wish I could've gone to see the tour! I'll just buy it on iTunes, I guess. Maybe next time I'll go...

[@HannahTarr]

Woah, this is fantastic!

[@heyitsmegn]

what a beautiful video!! thank you for this, it was so fun to watch. and thank you for an amazing show in iowa city!! :-)

[@Bubblezz925]

The show was so awesome! Keep up the awesome work guys

[@hitmonchan9607]

That was wild and...made me kind of emotional for some reason? My heart jumped when it got to the one I had gone to. Kinda wanna pause to see if I can find myself in the crowd but at the same time seating arrangements went kinda weird for me so there's some residual anxiety that I'm not looking to revisit. :P (also was that a got dang vriska shirt I saw)

[@BriWhoSaysNi]

It made me kinda emotional too and I didn't even go to any of the shows. No idea why either.

[@daisymac8278]

Vriska shirt? Who? What? What? Where did you see it!

[@TheGrapeFairie]

+OverThe Moon The guy holding the phone/ipod at 1:34

[@gcsilmoldor]

Fantastic! Maybe one day we'll get a tour/live show photo book? Just from cast photos.

[@cupidhoney436]

I quite briefly saw a gamzee makara shirt

[@lalaloz92]

Brilliantly done!! Please come and visit Australia!!!

[@OrbeezRando]

I can't explain my feels... It's as though a spider is on my back

[@clairecohen3178]

This was so beautiful! Next time you come to the UK I'm coming to see you for sure!

[@Pondwater466]

I love this video! I missed their Portland Oregon visit!!😢 Maybe next time😄

[@dayss9875]

I'm curious as to how many photos were actually in this, dayum. Night Vale never fail to give me goosebumps ^_^

[@PhyllisRogers]

I'm so glad that I got to see this live!!!

[@FamousOldProspekts]

Okay, this is really freakin' cool.

[@dadsatthegrill2514]

[@ocaptainpriss]

[@ChachiTchotchke]

Y'all were amazing in AZ, the show was so much fun and I hope you guys come back again for the next tour! Also oh man this was such a cool vid, like holy hot dogs!

[@opaquelemur6380]

Wonderfully artzy, can you please do this again some time soon? It was so awesome and I want others to have the opportunity for it. I've spread night vale around my school, and now tons of people listen to it. Thank you so much.

[@OWorthyFool]

Holy shit, Dylan, that's wonderful!

[@evesheridan9066]

This is such a cool way of showing the tour. Neat :D

[@jennileewho1979]

It's relaxing to watch! This is awesome!! :D

[@millieduckmcbuck159]

This is absolutely amazing work!! I think Dylan has his work cut out for him. Nice job hon!

[@stephthebard9037]

This is so fantastic! I found myself and my best friend. *squee* I wondered why there was a camera randomly taking pictures of the theatre!

[@lunalis2425]

Cool vid. Looks fun. Hope I can go to one of the live shows someday

[@marieaddams1223]

I'm crying,this is great.

[@shillingshockers]

Awesome. And yay - I could see myself in the crowd at Northhampton, MA! :)

[@brennanicole2936]

I love your show so much! This video must have taken forever to edit but it came out beautifully.

[@Fasdaff01]

Just reading the names of all those places made me feel exhausted, I can't imagine how it felt to do all of those shows.

[@nahwals]

I'm confused. I see Kevin is in a few of the shots and the frame at the end of the video, but he wasn't at the live show in my area. Was he only in a part of this tour?

[@SerenityofLilac]

Oh my gosh, this is amazing!

[@carolioning]

HANK BOSTON WHY DID I MISS THIS TOUR DYLAN MARRON YOU'RE SO COOL
