Guest taxman Posted May 19, 2006 Report Share Posted May 19, 2006 i watched it it was ok... nothing happened really. it was a bit too abstract i think. maybe if you had incorporated clips of traffic on a highway at night coresponding to the curve of the floating hexagons... or even long exposure photographs that the hexagons moved over... or any other kind of literal idea that you could add your element of abstraction to to connect it to anything else... it would be better.

Guest Moebius Posted May 19, 2006 Report Share Posted May 19, 2006 (edited) The last part with the 4 way symmetry and the glenzing was very nice. You probably should have faded the music out, though, instead of just ending it abruptly.

Guest twiddler Posted May 19, 2006 Report Share Posted May 19, 2006 well i think it's pretty bad - but as pointed out, the last bit was nice. If you want some excellent trippy imagery - get the milkdrop winamp plugin and watch it for hours when stoned - you don't need acid.

Guest lost cloud Posted May 28, 2006 Report Share Posted May 28, 2006 It is not hard to do a video a million times better than the Dayvan cowboy clip! But I hope it's not what you are looking for. The song you have taken is so nice. my feeling: At the start the whole thing is too slow instead of the sound and some times the red shapes are too small in the middle of the screen. The lines of points flying against mirrors are so much used like the classical psychedelic trip (from years now), but it works!!!! Thank you for your video!

I think you're wrong, the simplest of things tell a story if you look hard enough.
