appreciate the love. im mike. i made this video over a year ago for a school project and i appreciate so much that people love it and still watch it. thank you all for you responses!
10 years later and I still watch this - great video :) Edit: Still going back to watch this in 2020 it seems. It was one of the first videos I watched on UA-cam in 2006 and I've never forgotten about it. 💖
this has got to be the best fan created video for a song i've ever seen. you guys did a really good job matching the tone of the song with this urban night life setting. it wasn't cliche like going to clubs or about a guy/girl in love. you created more than that. i am very impressed.
this is breathtaking the editing is amazing (especially the lights at the beginning), and theres so much originality in the shots something like this just goes to show you dont need high def video cameras or professional equiptment to create something beautiful
The song is about how he will always be there for her as her coat on a cold day or the waterwings to keep her from drowning and how he wants to start his very own colony to get far away from the cynics. I love this song.
I can't get over how much I like this; I have watched it a bunch of times. Part of it is definitely the great song, but the video is great too. Thanks.
I find it ironically funny how this song is talking about getting away from all the CYNICS in the world so they can be themselves and start fresh and not worry about what others think and than u come along...
Wow great video! I thought it was the official video at first until I started reading some of the comments. I first heard this song in NHL 2K7 actually. I hadn't heard it in awhile since I started playing NHL 2K8 so I gave it a look up here. Amazing work on the video!
The beginning of this song reminds me of an old super nintendo Mario game. =) The Postal Service makes me smile. I just got their CD for my b-day yesterday. Nice video.
I really like the beginning of the video =D. I just particularly like the lights turning on and off to the rhythm of the music. But the overall video was good as well.
This is put together so well. Most of the time, home MVs don't sync the video and the people's/thing's movements with the music, which is very annoying. I like the lights in the beginning.
love this song! and someone once said that "the words don't go with the music" . that's a complete sodding load of bollocks! this song is amazing! i don't know what they were thinking and i feel sorry for them because they fail to appreciate good music.
idk what people are talking about the sound is fine, alittle crackly but thats okay i mean if you've heard the song before it all good. i really liked it. it was how i think the postal service would have done it. nice job guys. :] i even fav it.
Uhh just because it is called "Brand New Colony" doesn't mean it has to be about space. When I first heard this song on NHL 2K7, I always thought it was more about friendship and finding your own place in the world away from well "all the cynics."
@chuckooo1 hell yea! thats awesome, tell her i say hi this is mike heikkila the maker of this, even though it was uploaded to a friends account 6 years ago haha

Where was this filmed?
@@ErisLakan downtown Orlando. It looks nothing like this now though
10 years later and I still watch this - great video :)

Approaching the end of 2023 only to stumble upon this again...this really is a time capsule in itself isn't it? ❤
I remember the first time I heard this song on NHL 2k7 then found this video. SO glad it's still up after all these years as I really love it.
first postal service song i ever heard! i loveeee it!
two decades have imbued this video with an overwhelming personal nostalgia, i hope this never fades
was in 8th grade when i found this video lol, im 26 now and still keep coming back every now and then
come back and have some nostalgia, I hope you have a great day!
2017 and i still came here to whatch this awesome work
I can definitely understand how this was inspired from Mario music.
Talk about throw back. I remember seeing this video back in 2009-2010. I forgot this video existed. Lol. It's good to see it again.
Wow. That's amazing you guys. Great job, this kinda stuff is what makes UA-cam awesome. I love it. You guys rock.
lol, I've been watching this video for years. Brings back SO many memories.
I remember seeing this in ms Anthony’s TV production over ten years ago and I still think about it sometimes
Thank you for keeping this video up after many many years :D I still come back to this every now and then, such a great video!
definetly my most favorite song of all time, because to me it has oh so much meaning
this has got to be the best fan created video for a song i've ever seen. you guys did a really good job matching the tone of the song with this urban night life setting. it wasn't cliche like going to clubs or about a guy/girl in love. you created more than that. i am very impressed.

When a 3 yrs 4 months relationship finishes, and you listen to this, the song that reminds you everything...It's fckn brokenhearting...
Very good video and excellent lyrics!
This video remenber me, my old friends.
The song is about how he will always be there for her as her coat on a cold day or the waterwings to keep her from drowning and how he wants to start his very own colony to get far away from the cynics. I love this song.
I can't stop listening to this song. X3
so melodramatic teen angst, but realistic in that we have all felt this exact way. and that is why this is one of my favorite songs
The best part of the song is when they are on the stairs at 2:52. Not only is the visual good but the music is best at that point.
Ahh... the video of my LIFE. How I love you Ben and Jimmy!!!
very very good job, great way for me to listen to the song for the first time!!!
5 stars!
I can't get over how much I like this; I have watched it a bunch of times. Part of it is definitely the great song, but the video is great too. Thanks.
Ms. Anthony still shows this.
yo, I love this song, it plays in the background of my favorite video game, NHL '07 for PS2!!! That's crazy that I found it!!! Awesome!
Great video
I love this song.
this video is the best one of there of brand new colony, hands down, thats for sure. I
Downtown O-town!
lol, mostly on Orange Avenue and all the other one-way streets.
This played in my dream last night as i triumphantly floated in a tranquil, all white zero gravity room
O TOWN!!! THE CITY I LOVE!!
it's been over 2 years since I first saw this video, and I must say, it's definitely (along with the song) defined at least part of my life.
I find it ironically funny how this song is talking about getting away from all the CYNICS in the world so they can be themselves and start fresh and not worry about what others think and than u come along...
Wow great video! I thought it was the official video at first until I started reading some of the comments. I first heard this song in NHL 2K7 actually. I hadn't heard it in awhile since I started playing NHL 2K8 so I gave it a look up here. Amazing work on the video!
this is sweet video, i miss orlando at night ... i'll prolly move back one day.
WOW! That is my city! That is why I recognized it!
Oh, very nice... best of garage-made.
The beginning of this song reminds me of an old super nintendo Mario game. =) The Postal Service makes me smile. I just got their CD for my b-day yesterday. Nice video.
You guys did a great job. I'm taking a T.V. broadcasting class and I used this same song for my own music video.
this is really impressive considering it looks like the whole things was filmed in one night. props. good camera and acting work too.
"identities erased" ... brilliant
very cool. orlando by night really can make it seem like you're on another planet.
such a good video, orlando is a sweet city. i hope to go back one day.
Black coat girl is a brick house! (built right from the bottom up)
I live off of orlando, and i love the part at the TD waterhouse.
mah friend let me listen to this song and i love it!
This is very professional. It seems like it could be the actual video. Very well done.
See, this is what UA-cam is all about. I saw this three years ago, and it's still amazing. I hope you're ourt in the world doing awesome stuff, dude!
Really fantastic. Both women are very beautiful.
This video has aged beautifully.
very good. The beginning was awesome
Man, Orlando has changed a lot in 2 years x]
yeah that girl is SMOKIN!
I plan on doing a remake of this video because I liked it so much! =D It will be filmed at downtown detroit.
This is greatly shot. I love it.
When he says "zipped straight to the throat"?
"Flo" you're funny
LOVED THE BEGINING
they sure have. i wish ben and jimmy would make another cd
Great Video
i loved the part around 3:00 w/ the stairs!
your right i never noticed that before
I really like the beginning of the video =D. I just particularly like the lights turning on and off to the rhythm of the music.
But the overall video was good as well.
That was awesome.
man this is an awesome video, it go great with the song
Making Orlando look good :)))
2: 20 Woah, huge stalker vibe. But seriously, great video, i thought it was the real one for a sec too.
Great video! Im really impressed i think I've watched it 8 times since yesterday. Good job! Also, great editing!! Cheers
Hey!!! great video!!! I just love the song and this is fkn awesome!!!
This is put together so well. Most of the time, home MVs don't sync the video and the people's/thing's movements with the music, which is very annoying.
I like the lights in the beginning.
Most likely Orlando because there's a building at the very beginning of the song that says "Orlando Public ??"
love this song! and someone once said that "the words don't go with the music" . that's a complete sodding load of bollocks! this song is amazing! i don't know what they were thinking and i feel sorry for them because they fail to appreciate good music.
I love programmed music
great video :3
The video goes really good with the song. Well done (:
This is really an amazing video. Good Job!
Damn, I thought that guy was gonna crash into the car!
Good song and video
well done guys. its really cool. nice editing work.
Very Awesome sauce.
Don't pay attention to those who slander you.
They just wanna be as good as you are...don't let it get you down!
Good work
AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
this makes me want to live in the city.....
city beautiful
orlando public library should give you a hint ^^ and I agree about the editing...I'd like to learn how to do the fade-out trick.
It's diffently a film project of some kind. But it's still damn good.
idk what people are talking about the sound is fine, alittle crackly but thats okay i mean if you've heard the song before it all good. i really liked it. it was how i think the postal service would have done it. nice job guys. :]
i even fav it.
Loved it
been watching this video since you uploaded it guys. This should be the office video.
It's been 5 years since I last commented. Good times. :)
Uhh just because it is called "Brand New Colony" doesn't mean it has to be about space. When I first heard this song on NHL 2K7, I always thought it was more about friendship and finding your own place in the world away from well "all the cynics."
@chuckooo1 hell yea! thats awesome, tell her i say hi this is mike heikkila the maker of this, even though it was uploaded to a friends account 6 years ago haha
I love this song and I love the vid

im the only one who whatching this on 2018 XD
No..not really
super mario ftw :) great song
that was really cool and a good idea.
nice work!
that video was really nice. good job
Death cab for cutie is better as Postal service...at first I diden't know that they were the same thing,but his voice gives it away...
Cost in equipment.
Very good video, by the way :)It follows the song's beat like nearly no other video I have seen.
