PDF Video - Summer Burn (2009)

[Jon Cocco]

Hi everyone,

 

I'm sure many of you are familiar with Burning Man and various other Psy-related festivals. PDF (Playa Del Fuego) is a 4 day burner event in the Mid-Atlantic region of the United States; the video I finished editing today and wanted to share. And yes, Jayden777 is my name on youtube aka James though numerous friends call me Jon, Cocco. Feel free to post comments, ask questions.

Looks like it is mostly people with loads of fire. Which makes sense because it is called playa del fuego. But is it mainly about fire or are there also stages with bands/ dj's/ live acts?

Hi, thanks for the comment. There were numerous DJ's and stages (one was at 5:53) playing different types of psytrance and downtempo. At nighttime though, the most eventful and lit place I found to shoot was around the fire, the dancing. Only thing is that showcased only a fraction, albeit a very present one of the festival. The pictures in the beginning and the end show a little more, but not nearly enough of the daytime. I wish I showed more of the tribes too; the video doesn't show all of the creativity, talent, and fun taking place throughout the day, and in that sense I could improve for the next one. It's interesting that the festival was spread across roughly 50-100 acres, while Burning Man in the Black Rock Desert of Navada is several miles.
