Flawed, but very engaging.

There are alot of tiny details that I got wrapped up in/were distracted by, but in the grand scheme of things this was a fantastic attempt at breaking the mold and you succeeded in making something very atmosphere heavy.

I'll start with what I loved. T
he music and your voice overs were the top of my list with this. So brilliant and the were definitely the basis for the world I stepped into when I watched this.

Second is the colour palette. It's perfect. The colours are pastel and dreamy, and at moments border nightmarish and layered on your video they make reality seem spaced farther apart.

Third would be your poetry/text. It was cryptic, and yet entirely self-fulfilling without the need for advanced analysis. The word choice was awkward at bits, and splendidly spot on for the majority. It told a bleak tale of what it is the wake up to yesterday. As someone who writes alot of poetry myself, it was nice to see someone present some of my own thoughts in their own unique way.

What I liked least was the art. Rotoscoping is a fine technique that was deliver some fantastic effects, but it is a specific talent of it's own, and I just don't think you you're quite practiced enough at it. The wobbly lines are nice, but the volume of the subjects varied in strange way that might have been surreal but sadly weren't. You're drawings, though the got the point across, lack technical knowledge enough to really stand out. I did like their simplicity though.

The big issues: Sometimes the text blended to well with the rest of what was in frame and ended up being too hard to read. This suddenly snapped me awake a couple times and killed the mood, which is why I can't quite give this a ten.

Overall, I loved it though. Keep up the fantastic work.

well there's no way to get better at rotoscoping if ya don't practice sillY!

thanks for the good review

Loved it

Dude, it was really powerful. It's really deep and offers a sense of what that douche in the movie(you I believe) is feeling.

Keep it up dude. You have my support.

notorious responds:

lmao

Wow...

This is very impressive. I love the abstract artwork... usually, I can't understand abstract art... but I can appreciate it. Your kind of art is to be determined by the audience it's shown to, right? At least that's what I believe. To each their own, though.
I LOVED the music with this... it fit your abstract style to a tee. Well done. 5/

notorious responds:

notorious responds:

kindred

really good. i think everyone goes through this...i remeber how i went through this whole thing (in many respects im still going through it) where i just got really i duno apathetic about life...everythin was the same everything was anonymous and i found myself havgin very much the same thought as you expressed in your piece...like if dropping off today would be exactly the same as dropping off tomoroww nothing new ever happens we just drudge through our perpetual lives of deja vu bullshit...great stuff man great stuff

notorious responds:
