Beautiful, like looking at ghosts. Someday we will be someone else's ghosts.

"Why does footage typically back then move in hi speed motion? Can't convert to a more realtime movement? Loved music tracks on the video! Considering purchasing some but credits move too damn fast just like damn footage!"
Early footage was shot at 16 frames a second. Later footage was shot at 24 frames a second. The 'hi speed motion' results from playing early footage in a projector designed for later footage.

Joe, you've been around here longer than I have. Wait a minute... oh, never mind.
My point is, you above all other people should know that when there's a comment from Flautist you should ALWAYS read her comment BEFORE the post.
Sheesh.

What a treat!
And I wish I had read Flautist's comment before I watched it.

Cool. Thank you.

Fascinating, wonderful. I would suggest muting the music that accompanies the video, and listen, instead, to this more appropriate and evocative theme:
