Sorrowful Seed

Sorrowful Seed, a commissioned music video with Boston based band, DENT.


It's a film of a melancholy poem from a young mom to her aborted child. The physical sharp intensity brought this music video a sense of violence out of love.

Yoko Ono guest appearance at 3:35 to 3:40.

Very decent visuals, a lot of work went into this so great job for that. However, you really should add a disclaimer about the strobing lights to warn people with epilepsy - I'm not even epileptic, but it really started to hurt my eyes.

This is AMAZING
The animation is perfect For this song, which ROCKS btw
loved that powerful scream/breakdown in the middle of the song too

Very difficult to watch all of it, in one sense, since the music is not at all to my taste and I can't say I actually LIKE the movie all that much, but I take Judgement and Reviewing seriously and I always watch the whole thing once I start it, as I would hope someone did my work.
The movie obviously has talent- it has a story, of a sort and some kind of message. The animation follows the song well, I suppose and it is certainly Sorrowful and melancholy, as described. I feel it captures the essence of the song well.

Please put a Flashing Lights warning in the Author Comments, just in case- the sequence is short and probably harmless, but you are also setting an example for others to do so :)

A clearer credit to the song, with a link, would be good-

thank you for pointing the flashing light warning out, i just updated the author comments.

Quite a piece... I'd love to know if I can find the written poem somewhere in order to appreciate it better. Or the song (I don't know if it is also yours).

As of the first viewing, the only moment in which it failed to grasp my attention is near the end, in the repetitive walking scene that seems to drag too long. The rest is very powerful, most of the imagery is clear and meaningful. I really liked it. Anything that meaningful and that forces you to think is good in my book.

I will check it again now, to see if I can understand better the symbolisms that I didn't get the first time. If you can somehow facilitate me the poem it would be great!

Qieer responds:

Thank you so much! The walking cycle part was requested by the musician. She'd like me to portrait the endlessness of the suffering, and I did so. But I do appreciate that you point it out, cause I agree with you. :)
