Tear-inducing cosmic timelapse video + ecstatic music

[DwayneHoover]

Oh my God. I just watched the videos at the listed link... soooo deeply striking they literally made me start to well up with tears and feel my heart start to beat extra hard & deep.

Not just the picured still in motion (as in the dome of the sky reeling overhead) but a lot of other time-lapse sky views and other snippets nicely edited together.

I know this is not about any drug, but I feel it is psychedelic in the wider sense of the word and SOOOO many people here would LOVE to see it that I can't believe it does not belong here.

I bet watching this, and his other videos, would probably be a life-changing experience if you were peaking on a trip of some kind. Even viewed straight, somehow it feels like they are inspiring me to change my life somehow... not sure how yet, but the effect is tremendously potent. Wow.

TIP: let them just start to play then pause till fully buffered... go to full-screen...
turn up volume... dim lights...hit play... hold jaw to keep from hitting floor

life changing?
thats expecting a bit much..
i may be more astounded whilst tripping and watching it than i am now, probably not by a great deal.

watching the video and hearing that music motivated me to watch carl sagan's cosmos again

this would be better put in the psychedelic media thread i think

Party pooper! Allow me a little hyperbole, please, Mr. Spock :D

Thing about just dumping this into the "psychedelic media" thread is, it took even me a long time to check that out, it sounds so frickin bland, and alot of people here may thus never go there, and they would miss the wonder of this... but seeing this under its own title they may go "Hmmm... sounds like the kind of thing I might enjoy"

I mean, in 4-5 days i will be buried back on page 4 or 5 by more recently updated topics anyway, so what's the big deal? Sometimes people can be so hyper-organizational... that's a new term I invented for folks that tend to be excessively categorical, hehe.

Perhaps if it were split into separate types of media: Video, Photos, Other Artwork, Music, that thread would have more value.

Exactly... discussing. This is not just a single photo or video to drop or something but something I thought might deserve a little discussion focused on it.

This guy Tom Lowe is also in the process of making a feature film, which promises to be rather mindblowing I think.

Saw it and loved it! You seen Koyaanisquatsi? Chronos? Still, Lowe's camera dynamics while filming
the time lapse seem more advanced, as do his sense of subjects, staging, and trippy, epic visual drama.
