My partner Peter Simonite (2nd unit cinematographer for Terrence Malick’s “Tree of Life”) and I made this video for our friends in the amazing Austin, TX band Explosions in The Sky. Originally inspired by a collection of found photographs, shot in slow-motion, and cast with solely friends of ours (and kids of friends), we are proud of what we made, and want to share with other BoingBoingers.

I think this is really wonderful. I did feel that I was looking at the world of my own childhood (I was born a bit after this, but any of those snapshots could have been taken on my street when I was a young kid). What a different world that was.
The editing must have taken absolutely forever, but the end result is a joy. It’s poetic. Thank you.
