I wondered what you were going to make for the alphabet superset, knocks my effort into a cocked hat- whatever that means, thank you so much for all of it xx
Knocked the first one out of the park already, you're killin it! Hilarious timing, I've been super into UFO series on curiosity stream lately. And I DID notice the great sound quality! Fire track selection as well 🔥🎶
I’m just gonna copy your alien idea but it’s gonna be real boring
Wow. Campbell, this is a masterpiece!
Cam! This video is everything!
Truly incredible
We should send some memes to Aliens. Thats the best way to achieve pace
Temba, his arms wide.
Shaka, when the walls fell.
I wonder if they would understand it. We could at least send them alien memes like that history channel guy who blames everything in history on aliens lil
I fully support this.
Yes! What memes would you send?
Cam, this is some of your best work. You took us on a rollercoaster. Art for Aliens? What's even happening right now? Then, you land on our heartstrings with both feet. The storytelling is so damn touching. Thank you for putting this together. I hope the aliens see it. 👽❤
You speak to my tragically optimistic soul. Thank you. Every time someone tells me I’m an idealist and live in a fantasy world, I remind them that if it weren’t for people like me, humans would cease to exist. We make the world go ‘round-the often invisible force that keeps earth spinning on its axis.
Oh Cam. The world is a much better place because you and the art you create, are in it. Thanks man.
This was so amazing. I laughed and cried several times. The piece about the golden record just hits so hard. I'm so excited to see the rest of these docos!
I was a kid back in the 70s, and I remembered and loved both those stories at the time. Sagan was amazing.
I love the way you narrate your channel. You always seem to bring an element of wit, humour, intelligence and sarcasm all wrapped up in a nice neat bow that seems heartfelt and is thought provoking… I love it! Thank you
One of my design professors in college assigned us to create a our version of the Pioneer Plaque. There where so few rules that i became submerged by the scope and never finished it because i couldn't settle on an idea early. The concept of translating the depth of humanity into a cohesive visual message is equally as exciting as it is overwhelming. This video captures that beautifully.
This was a phenomenal video Cam. You are the benchmark for the kind of creator I want to be one day.
That sounds absolutely horrifying to work on alone.
This sounds like such a daunting project, yet one that I’d absolutely love to dive into. I hope you got a good grade on your own Pioneer Plaque
@renaissent I did manage to settle on an idea that I liked, but had trouble with scaling it down. Pretty sure I got a C because it went unfinished. 🙃
@CheekyAdorable it was our first project of the semester too 😬
@@davontaej Sounds like a "weed out the weak" project that went too hard. 😬
I absolutely agree. I did not expect this video to resonate so much but it does.
It helps putting my own struggles into perspective. It is this extremely emotional mix between sadness and hope. Brilliant job at capturing those feelings at the end. I really needed to be shaken up like this and rethink my struggles and overall goals. Thank you so much.
Dude, it feels like coming back to a place where I belong, when I watch your videos
I dont want to sound exaggerated
but thank you man
like, deeply thank you
Quick thing, and I’m about to nerd out as a graphic designer (graphic design student)
Holy smokes your use of typography is incredible. At 20:54, when you used a single font in different sizes to say, in time with what you’re verbally saying, that cave paintings are to us what we are potentially saying to alien species, not only was it a fantastic use of typographical hierarchy, it was done using a single weight of a single font. The font choice was perfect. Using a typewriter-esque font to call back to the time we, in the modern era, consider “old” or antique was a brilliant use of that style of fonts.
Fucking kudos, you brilliant man.
This is hands down the most inspiring video I've seen in a long while. Thanks so much Campbell. Keep up the good work.
Dude, you’re off to a great start! How are you going to maintain this level of quality for 26 weeks? I mean, even with a team, this is amazing.
literally what i was thinking! i thought that since this is part of the alphabet superset, that the editing is gonna be way more lowkey but this is... HIGH production
This was a phenomenal, emotional and informative video. Thank you so much for what you do!
Flippin strong start man! I genuinely felt a bit emotional at the end of this. Can't help but appreciate the thumbnail too 👽 I'm having to start a week late but I'm sure I'll claw it all back on catch up week!
These are like Netflix quality episodes every time. You're reaching new peaks bro!
wow, i don't usually comment on videos, but you've hit me deep. I started feeling a bit emotional, what the hell dude... You just summed up what i feel on a daily basis, the raw openness you share is brave! Keep this up man, you've got the goods!
This video actually made me tear up. Great work. I’m a novelist who teaches writing in online courses, and I’ve recommended your videos on creativity to my students. I got very positive results back - they appreciated your work a great deal. So do I.
You asked what someone may send out if ever get the opportunity to send something. I’d send this video. Well done and thank you for your hard work.
This doc gave me the chills. I've been following your work since 2019, and it's so cool to see your evolution and growth as an artist. I hope we can work together someday. Cheers from Venezuela, m8
my favorite trope about humans in space is "Humans are space orcs." Basically, in the age of space relations, what if humans are the reckless indestructable battle ready species, or at least that is their reputation among the aliens. It's kinda popular over on tumblr, and there is at least one collection of short stories with this premise out there.
Honestly, I could see it. As good as our planet is at sustaining life, it's also very hostile towards it, specifically the chaotic weather and climate. The very concept of seasons may be mortifying to beings on another planet. "You're telling me your planet goes through periods where one side is brutally hot and the other is brutally cold every year? And those differences in temperatures cause ferocious storms that flood and tear apart the homes your people live in?"
Bro. You trying to make a person cry with that ending. Gutted. You fucking precious human.
This video is phenomenal, Struthless! You rock, man! 😊
Great video, I just finished watching it with my girlfriend and we both loved it. The amount of work that went into it was insane and it is much appreciated.
Also, randomly, it inspired me to find your old video from years ago about golf carts and the meaning of life, because, personally, it is one of my favourites! It took me a while because it is unlisted now and hidden in one of the playlists, but I'm so stoked I got to find it again and share it with my girlfriend. She loved it too.
Keep creating Cam! We love your work ❤
Catchya ✌
That golf cart video sounds interesting! Can you link it, or list what playlist it was in?
sure @@lisahenderson1896 here it is - ruclips.net/video/QaRaXkiwbuE/видео.html&ab_channel=struthless
"This species can write a damn good song" That bit got me. Good job, Cam. Here's to A-week 🥳
The quality is amazing as always! The fact that you are planning to produce such awesome content every week is extremely ambitious and very inspiring! Still, don't be afraid to skip a week, nobody is gonna blame you!
Love this sm!
Glad to be a part of alphabet superset as well
Excited for your next video!
I think the idea of speaking to aliens is on the same plane as tradition & the illusion of forever. For me, it honestly my RUclips channel. It’s what will outlive me. It’s the way people (or beings) will hear my voice, my opinions, my art, and basically my life. Someday I’ll be gone and people friends will visit my channel and feel close to me again. They’ll remember my love I had for them and most things.
22:09 - 23:15 man I’m crying I feel like you’ve just reminded how to feel hope. Thank you
Thank you for creating this fun, informative, witty niche documentary I didn’t know I need 🙏
Cam, so great to see your creative take on artwork for aliens. You always manage to highlight things that I would not have thought about. Thank you for your perspective on this subject, it made my day. I’m looking forward to the next 25 documentaries, because I know each will be a piece of artwork from you. Take care.
Coincidentally, my Alphabet Superset project is a series of short stories written by an alien, about aliens, for humans. Thanks for starting Alphabet Superset and providing all of the worksheets and everything. I'm starting a bit late, but I'm excited to be a part of it, and to see what you and everyone else creates.
I didn’t expect this to go so deep into the existential feels. You almost made me cry, ya bastard!
Your storytelling is getting so refined. Funny how, at least from the trajectory you describe, it comes from embracing messiness as a guide for inspiration.
Wonderful work! I look forward to the rest of the Alphabet Superset!
super stoked about this series. can't wait to see where we go with this. so many cool and random things to learn about, love it.
I was glued to this video.. gotta say struth, you’re only getting better at telling stories! I’m excited for this series 🤓🔥
Sick Vid man!! such an interesting topic. Also love the storytelling
Incredible video on so many levels.. this was truly touching and made me cry. You have such a wonderful creative talent!
"if it's art that brought them here, well, at least we made a good first impression." im not crying you're crying
This is such a good video! I've been watching you for some years now and your videos are always so uplifting!
Dude.
What the hell.
I am extremely wary of clicking on new stuff on 'Tube since their recommendations systems have been busted for longer than I care to remember.
So about an hour ago when your "cults" video from two months ago came up on my 'Tube TV app, I almost didn't click it. But I did. Got kinda engrossed and so checked this one.
Didn't expect it to be nearly a tear-jerker. But you easily snagged my subscription.
this is a new favorite. absolutely one of your best. thanks so much. you’re responsible for this ukulele jam sesh.
Cam! This was an incredible piece of artwork!! Your creativity inspires me so much! Looking forward to the next 25 documentaries!! 👏⚡👽
This was such a good video Cam, really made me think a lot, thank you for this content. Love it!
i don't know if you got choked up at that cut near the end but i just finished watching and i'm crying now. great video, thank you ❤
Love it; made my day. You always pour so much personality into your work, every video is a big pleasure to see. Keep it up!
I kept going back to the beginning a minute short of the ending. I watched it and listened to it several times. I didn't want it to end.
You are setting the bar high for yourself with this first video in the series. ❤
I've watching almost all of your videos and THIS one was my absolute favorite! Please never feel discouraged to make anything ever again! 🤞
This was so freaking interesting, I'll be telling the story about The Gold Voyage Record to my friends all day tomorrow at school lol. And the last part got me emotional, it's so beautiful what humanity can be, and the fact that we have art. Do aliens have art? How crazy it would be if they don't and suddenly they hear Mozart playing from "outter space"? What a good day to be an alien. There should be like a website to upload your own pieces of art that someday get sent to our fellow galactic neighbors.
This video is amazing and I nearly cried watching it. It definitely got me right in the feels. Thank you for sharing your incredible work 💚
Really enjoyed this video. So much I didn’t know! Can’t wait to watch more videos in this series ✨
This was amazing, I can't believe we get 25 more of these.
That completely non- sequitar weirdery was fascinating... ( obviously I love old sci-fi imagery too). A strange side effect being, that your video, increased my flagging mood to about 95% positivity! So ..thank you.
After the banger that was the fonts video, I knew I'd enjoy this one. You made learning about fonts interesting. This is an already interesting subject, so it's gonna be good.
Hi !
Just a little precision from a French dude,
At 6.50, the text doesn’t mention inter-planetary communication, but talk about a 1328 francs rent for the person who find an efficient treatment for commun heart disease !
Great video, as always ! Thank you for your work !
Cool dude! I got into your older videos, but I really like this series idea!
I'm not one hundo sure but I think I saw a few different thumbnails over a few days for this one! haha. I appreciate your commitment do delivering the best you can!
How do you even manage to turn an alien art video into something so inspiring. Fucking masterpiece
STUNNING. goosebumps. so glad you're undertaking this creative journey and sharing your gifts with the world.
I was moved by your contemplation and effort to put all this into perspective. gracias
Outstanding video Cam!!! Your face when you said 'make us trip balls' got me so good tho hahaha
loved the vid matey, quality stuff, end bit gave me goosebumps.
I love this. Thanks for being such a cool supportive dude for creative people everywhere 🙌
Phenomenal work, Cam! Very nice and very inspiring. I'm doing the Alphabet Superset and I really believe it will change my life.
That is really beautiful and inspiring! I'm excited for next week!
Thanks so much, Cam! Keep doing you…love it!
I loved the storytelling of this video, it was brilliant, it made me feel deep emotions and thoughts like I rarely experience
I'm so grateful for your videos x
Dude there’s no other way to say this. I fucking love your videos. The reminder of human kindness and strength shines through in your kindness and I hope you and yours are having the raddest fucking time ever 🎉
I loved this. Very excited for this series!
this is so educational and well made. thank you for what you do.
This was tremendously endlessly beautiful, thank you
not the 3.40am struthless motivation oh lawd
The dedication 🥺 loved this!!
Ok when you started talked about the golden record I was so excited.
If you want an incredible piece of art, and you by chance have a meta quest 2 vr set, on the built in animation player there is a short film called “the golden record” about a planet that the satellite lands on. It’s incredible, definitely worth checking out.
Best content creator out there by far! You're ideas, videos and how you come across are second to none, plus your book is awesome! Thank you for being you!
This video reminds me a lot of The Anthropocene Reviewed by John Green. Very similar storytelling structure of bringing something seemingly random up and then expertly linking it how we can and do create meaning in our lives/have meaning to the universe. Great video! I cant wait for the rest of this series!!
The ending message is honestly where my mind wanders a lot. I'm an archeologist, and with impending climate doom, there's just this constantly thrumming drone in the back of my mind what happens when we don't solve climate change. We're on track to not only kill ourselves off but we're also causing the previously mainly known as K6 extinction event. We might so thoroughly destroy life on this planet that basic cellular life will have to fight to stay alive and eventually re-evolve into the kinds of complex organisms we take for granted every day.
And because I'm a cross trained paleontology monitor, I work intimately with fossils as they come out of the ground. I see how poor and sporadic preservation usually is. Those specimens we DO have usually represent millions of years of geological time.
Our family of species, as complex society dwellers living and altering the world around us, has only been able to leave behind archaeological records of ourselves for AT BEST 400,000 years (this is typed the same week that news went public about the wooden platform structure found in Africa dating to between 300,000 and 400,000 years old). We aren't even a blip. We are an infinitesimal fraction of a millisecond, and the only thing we stand to leave the next intelligent life form on this planet in 10 million years is a thin layer of plasticized rocks. We'll be as confusing a global layer to them as the ash layer that was left in global geology after the meteor that killed the dinos.
I worry that we only have like 500 years left as a complex society based species. And that is terrifying. Some of the first artifacts I got to work with while I was still a student were 10,000 plus years old. That we might cause such devastation so soon after leaving the stone age is more than just depressing. It's existentialism at its sharpest.
I've been trying to write a scifi that is my hope to scare, move, incite, whatever, people into real action on climate change because I think many people just cannot imagine that we will lose against climate change. They need to see someone else's scientifically based imagined outcome to get a sense of the gravity of our extinction. I just hope I can actually finish the damn thing, I've been working on it since 2018 and writers block is a bitch. 😅
On the plus side, the faces of Mount Rushmore are estimated to retain their basic shape for at least 7 million years. It's not much, but it's certainly longer than civilization itself has been around.
@@GANONdork123 well damn is that kind of terrifying 😅
Even if we are alone in the universe, life isn't meaningless. Our pursuit of aliens does not define us, but it is a part of what I believe the meaning of life to be: Live a life full of wonder and love, and your life will be full.
OMG GREAAAAT VIDEO! loved it, every single minute, there’s hope :’)
Such a cool and beautiful video Cam! Really loved watching and it made me feel deeply connected to the rest of humanity🩷
This was an amazing video, I'm really looking forward to the next 25 in the series!
I watch this channel while showering . That first part about the first pic that was sent omg I laughed so hard I got water up my nose and my kids were knocking on the door to see if I was alright lol! Thanks for the good laugh 😂😂
Was talking about the Arecibo message just yesterday, strangely !
Loved the video, can’t wait for b now 😀
The Voyager Golden Record is actually what I've chosen to be the V in my Alphabet Superset list :0
Hell yes! As a cosmic painter who works with archetypes, spirituality and philosophical concepts I really dug this video. I think most forms of art are akin to messages in a bottle, and we share them, in an effort to find whoever is meant to receive that message. Love your videos and I am currently reading your Head is a House book. Keep putting out this Cosmic Yeehaw content, I appreciate you Struthless!
Hey Krissy, I checked out your art videos. Your paintings look amazing, keep it up! :)
Fantastic and magnificent!!! Thank you
Wow great work!
Love that ending 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
This does reminded me of a ongoing SETI art project that I participate on called 'A Sign in Space', message had been decoded, but now on the interpretation stage.
Also 2:22 I can't stop laughing, aliens just goes with us anywhere we go!
Now if you excuse me...
*Trying to calm from Voyager's appearance as a spacecraft fan*
Damn first week going strong!!!
Incredible video, looking forward to watching the whole A-Z series!
Wow! This is officially my favorite struthless film. Well done, dude! 🙏
It will never not be hilarious to me that EMI got in the way of putting The Beatles on the Voyager record. The first great act of intergalactic copyright law, everyone.
This video is everything!
So incredible!
Aww man! This was lovely!! Love your soul, man! Always trying to find a silver lining not without pointing to the huge dark cloud first. Keep going!
Beautiful on so many levels ✨
The dedication hit deep man 😭🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Truly beautiful work. Keep doing this please.
I really look forward to this entire collection ❤
Love your work Cam ❤️🔥 the weirder the topic is, the greater it reflects the heart of humanity.
You nailed it. Informative, entertaining, thought provoking, emotional. Impressive. On to the B's....THANK YOU!
