Listed below are links to weblogs that reference VIDEO: Stupid Trees:
» Montauk from video sandbox
This is a video about nothing. I went to Montauk. The weather was good. The mic on my little camera picked up a lot of wind noise though. Here's Jay Dedman's videoblog post in the Redwood Forest that I... [Read More]
» Farm Life from Andreas Haugstrup
The video here goes out to Jay and Josh who can't handle being away from the big city. It's 24 seconds of farm life on a Sunday - the silence is intentional. [Read More]

Hahaha, a helpless overcivilized little creature lost in a big blairwitchprojectic forest.

This video was filmed at Henry Cowell Redwoods State Park. The "Stupid Trees" he's referring to can be seen online in VR. (Even the VR, doesn't do the trees justice.) It made me so mad, I had to videoblog my response.
p.s. Jay, I like the new layout of your site!

I know how you "fucking" feel Jay. Forrests are over methaphorisized testicular rot. I mean like those trees you were looking at would really offend me too. Even out of the forrest they are over rated and rediculous. Like I have this sixty foot Cedar in my front yard and this thing has been trying to kill people around here for years. A couple years ago it dropped about four five hundred pound branches at different times of the year. One hit the neighbors garage, another went after a friend walking up my steps, another trashed my iron railings and put a hole in my garage and another blocked the entire street one time. And for God's sake.....they stick straight up!!! What's that all about? What do they put in the fertilizer that you paid for with your six bucks? Viagra?

It'd be cooler if there was monkeys. I went into the woods one time. It was in Japan. We couldn't find monkeys. There was boiling water coming from the ground. We went into it. When I got out I found that my bra had been stolen by some perv or some pervy monkey. I hate the forest. I am going back to watching re-runs of MTV Spring Break.

Jay!
You hurt that tree!
Oh my.
You are lucky that they didn't arrest you for damaging that tree.
I'd hate to see you in a museum. What do you do in there? Break off pieces of art that you want a closer look at?
I'm shocked.

i cried.

Wow, I never watched this one before.
It started out funny, but then it was like, ummm,
this is a side of Jay i wish i hadn't seen.
it struck me as so disrespectful of... life.
i've been to that forest too, at dusk, and there were lotsa banana slugs. yeah, i think the trees are sacred. i also think we need silent places in this world.

You know, I arrived at this post by first watching Sean G's video comment in response, and he was angry. So I think I started out ready to be angry. But like I said in email... now I see it as performance art. Yeah, and you're sick humor. Fuckin' trees!
But please.... no more ripping bark off for art, okay?

What a peckerhead! Stay in the city where you belong!

Came to this from Video Sandbox...
The woods can have that effect
on city folk. I've seen it happen before...
and worse...
The city is just a different wilderness...
