midnight. gavinroo538 2022-09-19 | (CW: Christianity, Mormon imagery)This Line Rider track is about me struggling with my own faith in God—specifically with the Mormon faith—and the fear of not feeling worthy enough.I'm also dedicating this track to those who are having a "faith crisis" with their religion. Whether you ultimately stay in or get out, just know this:You are worthy. You have always been worthy.Anyway, I hope you enjoy(ed) what I made.Song: "Midnight" by Tyler Glenn.Twitter: twitter.com/gavinroo538_____Lyrics to the song:Faith, please have a little in meHate, I know you hate it when I strayBut I tried everything, I drank the wine and stained the sheetsI’m clumsy when I speakCall, you never call me anymoreWe’re past the point of self-controlI’m giving back to you, things I thought were trueI know it’s really nothing newGod, where the hell are you hiding?My hands are in the air and I’m excitedI’ve been on the run, so I’m not coming SundayIt’s alright, I’ll probably talk to you at midnightGod, I could never be like youI can’t change, I can’t change and I don’t want toI’ve been on the run, so I’m not coming SundayIt’s alright, I’ll probably talk to you at midnightFear, that’s what it was just to be clearYou went and made everything weirdBut that’s another song, another night, a shot of rumI guess what’s done is doneRight, I fought and stumble towards the lightI'll miss the days and nightsWe wrestled in my bedroom, my knees will give out soonI know it’s really nothing newGod, where the hell are you hiding?My hands are in the air, it’s so excitingI’ve been on the run, so I’m not coming SundayIt’s alright, I’ll probably talk to you at midnightGod, I could never be like youI can’t change, I can’t change and I don’t want toI’ve been on the run, so I’m not coming SundayIt’s alright, I’ll probably talk to you at midnightI’ll probably talk to you at midnightGod, I could never be like youI can’t change, I can’t change and I don’t want toI’ve been on the run, so I’m not coming SundayIt’s alright, I’ll probably talk to you at midnight#LineRider#ExMormon

Mirror | Line Rider gavinroo538 2024-06-30 | (CW: depictions of intrusive thoughts)This track above has a special connection with my previous track Something Comforting. It's like some sort of "sister track" to Something Comforting. If you haven't watched Something Comforting before, then I recommend you to watch it before watching Mirror (unless you already watched Mirror before reading the description, then I guess watch it after?). Here's the link: youtube.com/watch?v=zDAKRoSI8KQThis track, along with Something Comforting, is dedicated to the me from one year ago.- Started this in May of 2023.- Had a huge one-year long period of not working on this track from June of last year to a couple weeks ago.- Reasons why are the same as my sister track Something Comforting.- Just like Something Comforting, most of the ideas that I put into this track were ideas that I had originally when I started this project (with a few notable exceptions).- Hope you like it!I have to keep on reminding myself that I have a point of being in this world...Song: "Mirror" by Porter Robinson.#linerider #porterrobinson
Something Comforting | Line Rider gavinroo538 2024-06-29 | (Edit: If you like this track, then I recommend you to watch Mirror after watching this track as Mirror is a "sister track" to Something Comforting. Here's the link: youtube.com/watch?v=8rg4QedYNlY)This track is dedicated to the me from one year ago.I started working on this track all the way back in March of 2023 and had a huge one-year period where I didn't work on this at all from June of last year to just two weeks ago. I believe the reasons why I had a huge period of inactivity for this project was because it was quite ambitious so I felt kinda burnt out from it and the meaning of the track felt a bit too "optimistic" for me at the time. Thankfully, both of those problems eventually went away and I finished this project with flying colors! Most of the ideas that I put into this track were ideas that I had originally when I started this project (with a few notable exceptions). Hope you like it!Song: "Something Comforting" by Porter Robinson.#linerider #porterrobinson
Will Anybody Ever Love Me? | Line Rider gavinroo538 2024-06-28 | I started this one back in the beginning of February hoping to release it on Valentine's Day, but as you can tell, that didn't happen! I think the reason why is because of two things: a bit of burnout and the subject matter of this track on its own, which to be honest, it felt a bit desperate and selfish for me to make to a point where it was just kinda hard to finish. I'm still glad that I got this done though.Knowing myself as a trans lesbian, I keep on getting these worrying thoughts about what will happen to me romantically, especially with this worry of looking too "masculine" for any sapphic person to truly love me, and I mean "love" in the romantic sense btw. I know this worry is a bit too exaggerated, but it's still a worry that I keep on thinking about, especially due to the fact that I'm 2 meters tall and have a naturally deep voice. Thankfully, these worries have been occurring less frequently since I've started this track and I'm overall feeling a bit more optimistic about these sorts of things, which is a good thing for me. So with all that, I think this is what the track is kinda about, along with a touch of other things (will not say what they are though, mueh heh heh).Song: "Will Anybody Ever Love Me?" by Sufjan Stevens.#linerider #sufjanstevens
HINDS HALL | Line Rider Collaboration w/ Rabid Squirrel (CONTENT WARNINGS IN DESC) gavinroo538 2024-05-30 | Donate to UNRWA to help the people in Gaza: unrwa.orgYou can also do your daily clicks here if donating is not possible for you: arab.org(CW: depictions of war, genocide, white supremacy, police, and blood)For several months now, I've been wanting to make a track about the horrible genocide that has been going on in Gaza since October of last year, but I felt like I either couldn't do it or didn't have the place to do it. But when I first listened to Macklemore's new song about the genocide back in the beginning of this month though, I instantly got motivated to work on this track syncing to that song, so here's the final product. Hopefully you can get at least something out of it.HUGE thanks to @rabidsquirrel117 for collaborating with me on this important project. They did most of the words and drawings, while I did the movement, camera work, and some of the words and drawings.Song: "HIND'S HALL" by Macklemore.#freepalestine #linerider

GET PRANKED!!!...Anyway, this is probably my most queer track on this channel ('cause like, I'm queer now and shit). It's also probably my most "bullshitting around" track where I only had a few plans in mind with the rest just coming up on the spot. I do think the track ends off this year on a good note though, especially with the ending.Hope you enjoy(ed) the track along with my gay ass shitty doodles! :3Song: 転がる岩、君に朝が降る (Rock'n Roll, Morning Light Falls on You) by Asian Kung-Fu Generation, covered by Kessoku Band.

THANK YOU!!!A year ago, I uploaded a Line Rider track called "Give 'em hell. / DEVIL (I found myself when...)" where it was basically about me leaving the Mormon religion and saying that "I found myself when I lost my faith" and then becoming the devil or something, I don't know. Nowadays, I feel more conflicted with the stuff that I said within that track because a few months later, I've felt more lost than I've ever been in my life. I felt very lonely and I have no sense of identity or who I am and it felt like I was stuck in a state that's really hard to crawl out of. Because of that, I just felt like I lied to many people about finding myself. I'm not exactly sure if I just found myself temporarily and just lost it again, or I was just lying to myself while making "DEVIL" and then lied to others without realizing it myself until later on. And because of THAT, I thought about just unlisting "DEVIL" itself, but decided against it due to how much people liked that track and me thinking that it still might help a few people who are having big religion issues. I still haven't watched that track myself in many months to this day. Maybe some point soon, I guess.(I guess I should point out that the stuff where I talked about my PAST within "Give 'em hell. / DEVIL" was definitely true. It's just the "finding myself" stuff that I feel more conflicted on.)However, even if I did unlist the track, I think it would have been temporary because I have been gradually feeling better over the past four months or so, and I think I found a bit of a new appreciation for "DEVIL", even if it's still VERY complicated (like I said, haven't watched it in months). I can't say that I've found myself, but I have been doing things for myself and discovering things about myself over the past year, like me going to a college that's NOT a mormon college and me being trans (they/she btw) and queer and all that. Hell, I think I feel better than when I released "Give 'em hell. / DEVIL" a year ago, which is a bit amazing to me ngl! Like, me six months ago wouldn't picture me being in this more healthy state that I am right now. Quite healing, isn't it?So yeah, that's pretty much why "Give 'em hell. / DEVIL (I found myself when...)" serves as an anti-inspiration for "lived", and I tried showing it in "lived", especially with the beginning and ending. I hope all of this makes sense and thank you for reading all this! Anyway, I'm gonna end off this planned ramble thingy with a quote that felt reassuring from when I first read it:"Life is not linear. Healing is not linear. Through each setback, through each tenuous step forward, through each detour and each victory, I will be there for you. I will sit with you through each twist and turn of our meandering path." -September HofmannOnce again, thank you watching the track, reading this, and being here.
Ocean Man | Line Rider gavinroo538 2023-11-26 | This is a tribute to Stephen Hillenburg, who created my favorite show when I was a kid, SpongeBob SquarePants. Unfortunately, he died at the age of 57 due to ALS five years ago on November 26th, 2018. His ashes were scattered in the Pacific Ocean the next day.Due to SpongeBob being a show that I loved since childhood, I tried doing a more doodle-y, childlike style in the track. I think I did well in that aspect.Song: "Ocean Man" by Ween.#LineRider#SpongeBob
Waiting for the End | Line Rider gavinroo538 2023-11-20 | This track is about regret from the past and trying to move on from it, even if it's really difficult to do so.Special thanks to Bevibel (AKA Rabid Squirrel) for being there for me, especially in the past month. Big love and big hugs! :3Song: "Waiting for the End" by Linkin Park.____________________________While making this track, I've been thinking about how there are a TON of issues going on in the world right now, especially with things like anti-trans legislation going on in the conservative areas of the US and there's even a genocide that is taking place right now in Palestine (yes, I'm pro-Palestine. Shut up). Like, it's difficult to come to terms with these issues going on and to figure out who's right or wrong, and like...I'm still not sure how to properly discuss about it, especially since I'm just some white 21-year-old living in the pacific northwest, so it's maybe not my place to talk about many of these issues??? I don't know... I only depicted these sorts of things in this track via only a few drawings, so I'm not sure if the stuff I'm talking about counts as a second meaning to the track. I guess all I ultimately want to say is that this track is dedicated to those who are marginalized and have to undeservingly suffer through discrimination throughout their everyday lives. I dunno if this is a bit too optimistic, but I really, REALLY hope that there's a better place for all of you in the future. We all deserve it.Overall, we need to be kinder and more compassionate to the world, ourselves, and each other, and that includes me. Thank you for reading this...raw...thing, I guess?#LineRider#LinkinPark

La Mer | Line Rider gavinroo538 2023-07-05 | (CW: suicide, flashing images)"Can you hear me? About 10 years ago or so I locked myself away in a house on the ocean, and I tried to… I said I was trying to write music. Some of which wound up on The Fragile. But what I was really doing was trying to kill myself. And the whole time I was away by myself, I managed to write one song, which is this song [La Mer]. So when I play it, I feel pretty weird about it, because it takes me back to a pretty dark and awful time in my life. It's weird to think how different things are now: I'm still alive. I haven't died yet. And I'm afraid to go back to that place because it feels kind of haunted to me, but I'm going to go back. And I'm going to get married there." - Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails, 2009.Inspirations include:"Cold Death" by @vsbl: youtube.com/watch?v=CCN3xGFtUxo"It's ok, You're ok" by @Toivo.: youtube.com/watch?v=ZgCMwpN7kAY"Tiny Ball" by @branchesjade3638: youtube.com/watch?v=8qzDnPOYY-YSong: "La Mer" by Nine Inch Nails.Beach ambience by @SylvanWandering: youtube.com/watch?v=SsAG3vBUZlsI'm happy you're still alive.

Hallelujah | A Line Rider Track by gavinroo538 [13+] gavinroo538 2023-02-28 | Content warning for one instance of voyeurism, hence the 13+ in the title. While there is no nudity being shown, I do recommended children 12 and under to not watch this video. Also, I do not condone the action of voyeurism, specifically if it's nonconsensual. A more minor content warning for religious themes.The meaning of this track is kinda complicated, but to keep it as short as possible, it's basically my feelings on some sorts of love, including some "nasty" ones, brought together into some sort of fictional story thingy. Also, this track is kinda sorta a sequel to Give Up the Ghost, where that track talks about platonic love, while Hallelujah goes into romance and sexuality (and I guess religious love too???). Thought I should add that.Song: "Hallelujah" covered by Jeff Buckley. Original by Leonard Cohen.Twitter: twitter.com/gavinroo538#LineRider#JeffBuckley#LeonardCohen

Hope y'all are doing alright!Anyway, I hope you enjoy(ed) my last track of 2022!Prequel: youtube.com/watch?v=tn14oN3dHvsSongs: "John, Give 'Em Hell" and "Devil" by Tyler Glenn.Twitter: twitter.com/gavinroo538_____I RECOMMEND NOT READING WHAT'S BELOW UNTIL YOU WATCH THE VIDEO!!!Hi, my name is Gavin Bacon, also known as gavinroo538. I used to be part of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, also known as the Mormon church, ever since I was born until recently. I believed that the church was the true church until my belief dwindled gradually until early April of this year when I completely lost my faith in the church. As of this upload, I am agnostic athiest and I have recently came out as nonbinary (more specifically, libramasculine. Look it up!) with pronouns being he/any. I am still finding myself more and more as time goes on while living in this weird, strange, but kinda beautiful world. I hope all of you who watched this will keep on finding yourselves and live _of_ this world!Special thanks to r/exmormon, which helped me start thinking about the Mormon church more critically and help me process all the problems I had with it (although you do have a few tiny problems that I'm a bit bothered with. You're a subrebbit, so it's inevitable).Special thanks to the CES Letter (written by Jeremy Runnells), which helped me think a lot more about the problems with the Mormon church and eventually helped me lose my faith in the church.A VERY HUGE special thanks to Line Rider and all the people I've met through it. With Line Rider itself, it has helped me process and put down my own feelings and emotions into the outside world and made me less afraid to speak out instead of keeping these feelings and emotions inside myself. With the people I've met through Line Rider, they have helped me by being there for me when I needed it the most (e.g. Dealing with a loss of faith in the Mormon church, a bunch of other things) and if it wasn't for them, I would NEVER be the person that I am today, so thank you Thank You THANK YOU!!!...And thank you viewer for watching and reading this wall of text!#LineRider#ExMormon

Green Eyes | A Line Rider Track by gavinroo538 gavinroo538 2022-08-22 | This video is part 7 of my December 2021 film A Rush of Blood to the Head, hence why "Part 7" and the title drop is in the video.You can watch the film in its entirety here: youtube.com/watch?v=wsey3gjhQtoPart 6: youtube.com/watch?v=npVK_Z2l0dwPart 8: youtube.com/watch?v=eQkn5oRxn18Playlist of each part: youtube.com/playlist?list=PLhB3w6N5xWjFZVkdTXx8GJWe835yqHSd4To be honest, this is probably my least favorite part of my film. I kinda like how it does kinda subverts your expectation from the end of part 6, but the first half of Green Eyes isn't that special IMO. It's like a 6/10 for me. Hope you enjoy(ed) part 7 and stay tuned for part 8 coming out tomorrow!Song: "Green Eyes" by Coldplay.Twitter: twitter.com/gavinroo538#LineRider#GreenEyes#Coldplay
Daylight | A Line Rider Track by gavinroo538 gavinroo538 2022-08-21 | This video is part 6 of my December 2021 film A Rush of Blood to the Head, hence why "Part 6" and the title drop is in the video.You can watch the film in its entirety here: youtube.com/watch?v=wsey3gjhQtoPart 5: youtube.com/watch?v=Be-XKGheQ48Part 7: youtube.com/watch?v=I0j4ailRAbsPlaylist of each part: youtube.com/playlist?list=PLhB3w6N5xWjFZVkdTXx8GJWe835yqHSd4Cool, now I have two tracks called Daylight!Quite proud for what I did with the movements in here. Also like how I used the barren and deserted scenery stuff in the verses. I wish the quality of the color transitions at the end didn't drop a bit. Hope you enjoy(ed) part 6 and stay tuned for part 7 coming out tomorrow!Song: "Daylight" by Coldplay.Twitter: twitter.com/gavinroo538#LineRider#Daylight#Coldplay
Clocks | A Line Rider Track by gavinroo538 gavinroo538 2022-08-20 | This video is part 5 of my December 2021 film A Rush of Blood to the Head, hence why "Part 5" and the title drop is in the video.You can watch the film in its entirety here: youtube.com/watch?v=wsey3gjhQtoPart 4: youtube.com/watch?v=iQyQSXG856APart 6: youtube.com/watch?v=npVK_Z2l0dwPlaylist of each part: youtube.com/playlist?list=PLhB3w6N5xWjFZVkdTXx8GJWe835yqHSd4This part is probably my proudest part in my film! I've been figuring out how to do the visuals in Clocks for a long time while conceptualizing and making the film, then I had the cool animation idea that I believe gives the song justice. Very glad how I did the animation stuff, especially in the bridge of the song. It's hard to say if this is my favorite part in the film, but it's definitely my proudest. Hope you enjoy(ed) part 5 and stay tuned for part 6 coming out tomorrow!Song: "Clocks" by Coldplay.Twitter: twitter.com/gavinroo538#LineRider#Clocks#Coldplay
The Scientist | A Line Rider Collaboration Hosted by gavinroo538 gavinroo538 2022-08-19 | This video is part 4 of my December 2021 film A Rush of Blood to the Head, hence why "Part 4" and the title drop is in the video.You can watch the film in its entirety here: youtube.com/watch?v=wsey3gjhQtoPart 3: youtube.com/watch?v=Bp0IgztbFSIPart 5: youtube.com/watch?v=Be-XKGheQ48Playlist of each part: youtube.com/playlist?list=PLhB3w6N5xWjFZVkdTXx8GJWe835yqHSd4Hooray! It's the reversed collab part that was finished about two years ago! Yeah I know, this is basically the same upload as my old one but with different names. Also, this is the part where I made the one and only change from the original film. The only change I made was changing the old "Xavier" to "Xavi".Okay, the reason I made The Scientist a collab is because I didn't have enough ideas for what stuff to do in reverse for the whole five minutes. I actually started this collab before I thought about making a film to the album it's on. Also, the old version's title is gonna be changed to "The Scientist [OLD]". Hope you enjoy(ed) part 4 and stay tuned for part 5 coming out tomorrow!All the people who collaborated on this part (in alphabetical order):Blinky youtube.com/channel/UCMVg2SlO6oXXmWuxBq31xSgFaintmint youtube.com/channel/UC7BcXycx-k12Z8nY70l1VSAfemsharky youtube.com/channel/UCXlg8JXSFh0Pb-AetE_iN0Qgavinroo538 (me)Malizma youtube.com/channel/UCYR1vG69tB3aTvFYgHHLLsgnevs5138 youtube.com/user/eunicesvenQBalt youtube.com/channel/UC7yEnXUO26aFlS8PE73V_UAUTD youtube.com/channel/UCBZ1LdwGn09bvhEIPBNF2_wXavi youtube.com/channel/UCj21dPeXCAYVEBeSzqDrstQSong: "The Scientist" by Coldplay.Twitter: twitter.com/gavinroo538#LineRider#TheScientist#Coldplay
God Put a Smile upon Your Face | A Line Rider Track by gavinroo538 gavinroo538 2022-08-18 | This video is part 3 of my December 2021 film A Rush of Blood to the Head, hence why "Part 3" and the title drop is in the video.You can watch the film in its entirety here: youtube.com/watch?v=wsey3gjhQtoPart 2: youtube.com/watch?v=BXUtdM-V85QPart 4: youtube.com/watch?v=iQyQSXG856APlaylist of each part: youtube.com/playlist?list=PLhB3w6N5xWjFZVkdTXx8GJWe835yqHSd4Very proud of how I handled my "MINDSCAPE" conception in God Put a Smile upon Your Face and how it transitions from simple part 2 to...this. I also like how I expanded the "MINDSCAPE" idea with my later release No Surprises. I also also like how condensed it is! Hope you enjoy(ed) part 3 and stay tuned for part 4 coming out tomorrow!Song: "God Put a Smile upon Your Face" by Coldplay.Twitter: twitter.com/gavinroo538#LineRider#GodPutASmileUponYourFace#Coldplay
In My Place | A Line Rider Track by gavinroo538 gavinroo538 2022-08-17 | This video is part 2 of my December 2021 film A Rush of Blood to the Head, hence why "Part 2" and the title drop is in the video.You can watch the film in its entirety here: youtube.com/watch?v=wsey3gjhQtoPart 1: youtube.com/watch?v=OXAyHN07zoMPart 3: youtube.com/watch?v=Bp0IgztbFSIPlaylist of each part: youtube.com/playlist?list=PLhB3w6N5xWjFZVkdTXx8GJWe835yqHSd4In a way, I do like how my film went from the dramatic Politik to the very manual-y In My Place. It's simple, fun (especially with the "YEAH"s), and I think I conveyed the emotion well near the end. It is unfortunate that this is the only part in my film that is partially blocked in some countries (specifically French-speaking countries), though. Hope you enjoy(ed) part 2 and stay tuned for part 3 coming out tomorrow!Song: "In My Place" by Coldplay.Twitter: twitter.com/gavinroo538#LineRider#InMyPlace#Coldplay
Politik | A Line Rider Track by gavinroo538 gavinroo538 2022-08-16 | (CW: flashing images)This video is part 1 of my December 2021 film A Rush of Blood to the Head, hence why "Part 1" and the title drop is in the video.You can watch the film in its entirety here: youtube.com/watch?v=wsey3gjhQtoPart 2: youtube.com/watch?v=BXUtdM-V85QPlaylist of each part: youtube.com/playlist?list=PLhB3w6N5xWjFZVkdTXx8GJWe835yqHSd4Okay, so I've decided a long while ago to upload all the individual parts of my film onto YouTube on this month because 1. I want people to see the film without having to click some link in the description and doing some downloading (due to copyright issues), and 2. I want to celebrate the 20-year anniversary of the album release itself, which is on the 26th and when I'll upload my final part! In every part. Nothing has changed from the original film (except for one thing, which I'll mention when we come to it), meaning that every tiny-visual-mistake-I-made-that-I-haven't-noticed-until-after-the-release-of-the-original-film is still in these videos. I'll be releasing each part daily and there will be 11 parts total, meaning that this channel will be having daily videos until the 26th.With that, I'll talk a little bit about Politik itself (and the other parts when they are uploaded). Politik is an interesting one since it has some things that I would've done differently today, yet all of it still fits beautifully as a banger opening to the film IMO. I'm still very proud of how I handled all the abstract visuals, especially in the second half. Hope you enjoy(ed) part 1 and stay tuned for part 2 coming out tomorrow!Song: "Politik" by Coldplay.Twitter: twitter.com/gavinroo538#LineRider#Politik#Coldplay

LOST IN PARADISE (from Jujutsu Kaisen) | A Line Rider Track by gavinroo538 gavinroo538 2022-07-30 | Figured I should make a more positive track after making tons of sad tracks, so I decided to sync Line Rider to a banger ED from one of the most banger anime in recent times. Hope you enjoy(ed)!...Oh, and go watch Jujutsu Kaisen if you haven't!Huge thanks to the Line Rider track "Fred Astaire" by StackBabber for having that fun energy and inspiring me to start making what I made above.

Old Friends (For Arglin) | A Line Rider Tribute by gavinroo538 gavinroo538 2022-05-30 | This track is made for Arglin Kampling, who I've known and befriended for several years now, even before we got into Line Rider. I thought about the idea of making this only a couple days ago during an emotional moment (several hours after I released No Surprises) and I'm very glad that I made it, even if it's not as "good" as my other recent tracks.Arglin, if you're reading this, then I hope you live a long life, whether you're pretty much done with Line Rider or not. :)Arglin's Line Rider channel: youtube.com/c/ArglinArglin's Poly Bridge channel: youtube.com/channel/UCCxGlad0Fo77qqSjRIQ03IQArglin's third channel: youtube.com/c/ArglinV3Song: "Old Friends" by Coldplay.
No Surprises | A Line Rider Track by gavinroo538 gavinroo538 2022-05-27 | CW: Depictions of depression and suicide ideation.So yeah... This track is...a lot...I've been thinking of making this track for almost a year now while making my 54-minute Line Rider film. I started it in January before starting all my 2022 tracks that have now been released, so I had a lot of time to think about and process my own feelings while this track was in development.Oh, and don't worry. I have never been suicidal in my life. I'm just a person who has a lot of thoughts to think about...with some of those thoughts being quite sad. Anyway...umm... I hope you enjoy(ed) what's probably my most revealing track I've made!Song: "No Surprises" by Radiohead.Twitter: twitter.com/gavinroo538#Radiohead#NoSurprises #LineRider

Reckoner | A Line Rider Track by gavinroo538 gavinroo538 2022-03-30 | CW: Politics, Capitalism, Classism, and Colonialism.This track is dedicated to all human beings.Whew! Glad that I'm actually pushing out tracks kinda regularly instead of only a few tracks per YEAR since 2019. In this track, I used an LRACE build that can lock camera positions to just the x-axis or y-axis, which is why the recording in this track doesn't go up or down at all. This is also probably my most political track I've made. Hope you enjoy my manuals and pretty much everything else that's in my track! Again, this track is dedicated to all human beings.Song: "Reckoner" by Radiohead.Twitter: twitter.com/gavinroo538#Reckoner#Radiohead

Unfortunately, that specific video is 30 FPS, meaning it doesn't show all the frames of the film. If you want the full 60 FPS experience, then you have to click the download button after clicking the link to receive the 60 FPS film on your computer (Note that the video itself is 1.6 gigabytes and you can't download it on mobile).EDIT: You can now watch a compressed version (just under 500 megabytes) on Vimeo! The only downside is that there's a lower video and audio quality (especially the audio). The video is also only 30 FPS, so I'll provide a link to a 60 FPS version of the compressed video that you can download to your computer (again, it's only just under 500 megabytes).
