“Last Day Dream” by Chris Milk is a moving video that sums up the most important memories from an individual’s life in 42 seconds. Rather than being overly maudlin, this video hits that sweet spot that illustrates both whimsy, awkwardness, beauty and fear. This balance of beauty and pain is consistent with his other work, like the below video of the Gnarls Barkley song “Who’s Going to Save My Soul”.
