Thank you! :D Glad you enjoyed it.

Yay it's done! I still have no idea what is going on, but it looks and moves really gorgeously. So many interesting visuals and little visual connections that make me wish I knew their meaning!

Awww yay, I'm glad you liked it! :D It's a weird, beautiful little show and I'm glad I finally finished this.

WHOA. This is a vid that I'd say exemplifies transformativity, because it feels like you've shifted the whole tone of the animation. I found it very haunting, alien, and sad. I happen to really like this song, as boy songs go. And I was so engaged by the visuals (even though I had no idea what was going on) -- the faces, the flashes of strange images, the vast worlds. I'm glad you could vid it FOR YOU!

Gorgeous! The counterpoint of the spectacle and color in the animation and the tone of the song was really wonderful in bringing out the contrast of external circumstance and internal struggle. There's such a strong sense of longing, vulnerability and futility. It really made me want to watch the show :)
