Guys, I know Denver has some issues too, Los Angeles has some pros too… I just know Denver will bring me more pros at that point. You may have an opinion about what I said and that’s great, but keep it nice and respectful. Cheers!
I've lived in the Los Angeles area since 1972. My small quaint rural town to the east has been engulfed by massive amounts of new homes, warehouses, traffic, 18-wheelers, homeless, crime, high prices, high taxes, you name it. I'm tired of it. Every reason you said in your video for leaving is completely valid. I long to leave this place for the wilderness someday. Good luck with your next chapter!
I've got it Know. Denver looks nice. My cousin live in your new city and I'm happy to see through you work the environment where I'll probably come, but I don't know when. 😅
Thank you! But will have to disagree about the traffic haha Los Angeles is the worst I've ever seen in years! Sometimes takes me 1.5 hours for 20 miles... so yeah Denver will have some traffic I am sure but nothing as bad as LA (for now at least), and distances are much smaller in Denver, LA area is really spread out!
Moving to Evergreen (which you posted drone footage of) or Denver proper? I found the people to be as cold as the weather; similar to Cali. I lived in Evergreen in 08-09, but traveled weekly for work so it was more tolerable. But, at that time people were friendlier in Texas, which has since gone downhill. As a whole, the US has gone downhill. As we get older, it's harder to make new friends when you are self-employed and/or no longer in school/college. I joined a ski club and met some nice people, whom I am still friends with to this day. Bonus; you may be up there for peak season of the leaves turning. The aspen leaves looked like gold fluttering in the wind. Enjoy! Looking forward to you posting new footage and have awesome adventures.
je te souhaite meilleur dans ta nouvelle ville et ta nouvelle vie. Merci encore pour toutes tes videos. j'ai hâte de voir les prochaines. Un petit bonjour d'Angers.
I know if I had to live in the US I'd prefer Colorado over California (other than the winter, I'm not a huge fan of cold and snow). Good luck with the move!
You think crime in LA is bad? I've just been to Paris...... never again....... Best of luck with the move. Looking forward to the new videos and perspectives.
Wish you the best of luck with the change man. I think after all the lockdowns and years of people being afraid to go outside, we've all realised how much we missed real connections and experiences. I'm sure it will be a great move man, and I bet the tax benefits won't hurt either.
Not just covid, but LA too. Yes, we have some nature around, but it's either desert or completely crowded. I think I miss the mountain with lakes and pine trees! There is Big Bear Lake, but like I said, always crowded.
As a person that moved from Denver to So Cal I wish you all the luck. I moved in 1988 and really went back for the first time last year. Lots of changes, some things didn't change. I kind of left on bad terms and SoCal(San Diego) was good for me. Long story. Now in LA area for the past 8 years and yes Cali is a tough love now. We all hope it gets better. LA will miss you and your art and sorry we never got a chance to meet. Correct, it is difficult to meet people here. City Park was my old stomping area. I lived blocks away from it, walked through it every day to high school, and it looks like you found the best place to shoot Downtown Denver and the Boat House. Enjoy Denver!!
I understand you perfectly. I think your decision is very good, and you can carry out your decision. That is to say, it seems that there is nothing and no one that ties you to LA or California in general. You could also do something similar to America in Motion for Europe. What I mean is that you could consider a trip to Europe and make Timelapses of the places you visit in Europe for several months, including in-person courses. There is nothing and no one that ties you. For example, I am planning (pending planning it well on the calendar) to take a trip to the US for at least 3 months in a row to do Timelapses and Photography. I hope I can meet you and you can give me some classes searching, following and making Timelapses of tornadoes and storms in the US. Very good luck in this new stage! The best is yet to come!👍👍
Thank you, appreciate the message. Indeed, I am free to go wherever my heart tells me to go. I definitely want to create a timelapse master class focusing around Europe, that would be exciting!
Train your cats to wear a harness, great for travel so you can stop and let then walk a little. Denver or Bolder always sounded like nice places to live. Good luck.
Thanks for the tips! They are extremely shy and scared of people so not sure I can let them out of the car... but I'll let them walk in the car anyways!
Best of luck Emeric. I visited Boulder a long time ago, and really enjoyed it. You'll enjoy the change of scenery and weather, but the social ills, while less pressing, are there as well. Society is in decay, almost everywhere. We all look forward to viewing your new timelapses.
Colorado is a great place as I grew up there and hope to move back there from the Heat Dome capital PHX. Denver today is just another BIG city. Look at some of the surrounding areas. As far as Boulder goes, think Berkley IMHO.😎😎
Yes unfortunately it seems everyone is leaving California. Many are moving into my state, Tx. $6.00 gas, ouch! I have been a long time visitor of Colorado and Denver. I quit traveling to Colorado years back when the Cali people started flooding into the state. It has become over crowded, over regulated and I have been referring to it as New California for years now. Homelessness is a very real problem there and the new mayor is trying to find a solution. So far just by relocating the problem to someone else's back yard. I guess what I'm saying is that Denver is well on it's way to being a new Los Angeles. The whole front range Interstate 25 corridor is building out. You didn't mention politics as a factor specifically, so you will feel right at home in Colorado in that respect. I like your idea of being closer to tornado alley. It's a great place to base for storm chasing. For me there is another mountain state that I much prefer spending my time and money in but I'm going to keep this one to myself. Good luck Emeric
Most big cities will start to be overcrowded anyways, not just Denver. More and more people just want to live in cities, but I agree about what you are saying. A lot of Californians do leave California, but the number of out of state license plates I see around LA is huge really, so the migration is both ways. I am not a citizen so I can't vote and will have to just follow with whatever the laws are where I want to settle and I am fine with that really. I don't think Denver is as bad as LA right now, but maybe I've not spent enough time in Denver to have a judgement. I'll see when I get there! Thanks for the comment!

Good luck!! Can’t wait to see the new content from Denver and surrounding areas!
Thanks dude! You can come visit anytime of course :)
Good luck with your move! Denver is a fantastic city as is all of Colorado. Looking forward to new videos from that area!
Can't wait! Thank you!
All the best, a move is like a vacation enjoy it.
Congratulations and good luck on the move, hope it is everything you hope it is.
I've got it Know. Denver looks nice. My cousin live in your new city and I'm happy to see through you work the environment where I'll probably come, but I don't know when. 😅
Denver traffic is as bad as LA. The weather is always changing, winters are brutal cold. Good luck.
Thank you! But will have to disagree about the traffic haha Los Angeles is the worst I've ever seen in years! Sometimes takes me 1.5 hours for 20 miles... so yeah Denver will have some traffic I am sure but nothing as bad as LA (for now at least), and distances are much smaller in Denver, LA area is really spread out!
Best of luck with the move! I look forward to your future adventures and inspirations.
Thanks so much!

Merci bien :)

I miss the cold and normal seasons after 10 years in LA haha
Good choice. Good look
You will look back in the future and see this as one of your best life decisions.
Hopefully!!
Good luck, Emeric!
Thanks a lot!
Good luck
Thanks!
You think crime in LA is bad? I've just been to Paris...... never again....... Best of luck with the move. Looking forward to the new videos and perspectives.
Oh I am aware that crime is everywhere, Paris too. That's why I would never, ever, live in Paris as well haha Thank you!

Denver is a great location for storm chasing. Centrally located for storms to the south and north.
Yes, can't wait!
Good for you. Colorado is great. Don't forget to go east to the plains for lots of abandoned buildings if that is an interest. I'm in Tulsa.
Thanks for the tips! Could be interesting to mix this with storms on my timelapses!
Colorado is a great place as I grew up there and hope to move back there from the Heat Dome capital PHX. Denver today is just another BIG city. Look at some of the surrounding areas. As far as Boulder goes, think Berkley IMHO.😎😎
Thank you!!
Good luck. I just noticed gas prices in CA are about the same as my 3rd-world country. :)
Haha yes for the US is very expensive!
100% accurate about the self centered people in LA
It's sad :(
Yes unfortunately it seems everyone is leaving California. Many are moving into my state, Tx. $6.00 gas, ouch! I have been a long time visitor of Colorado and Denver. I quit traveling to Colorado years back when the Cali people started flooding into the state. It has become over crowded, over regulated and I have been referring to it as New California for years now. Homelessness is a very real problem there and the new mayor is trying to find a solution.

I like your idea of being closer to tornado alley. It's a great place to base for storm chasing.
For me there is another mountain state that I much prefer spending my time and money in but I'm going to keep this one to myself.
Good luck Emeric

Move Downunder 🇦🇺🦘
Matt Damon & family has made the move to Australia for the same reasons 👍
I thought about it, but 2 things, I don't want to start immigration process all over again, it's very mentally draining... and 2- big spiders haha
