Hey, great clip.
Awesome site too.

Thanks.

         
nice! Does the track quite a service, in my opinion.
         
props, way to put the handmade back into the after effects genre.
         
yes. love the vortex.
         
enjoyed that one
loaded with ideas to keep it going
         
nice work! love the handpainted elements and the rolled paper- great texture and lots of ideas.
         
(hey, bigtime - any reason you haven't commented on this?)

beautiful work, peeps.
         
Sweet, good job!!!
         
Interesting. I am surprised nobody has brought up Ray Tintori's video for 'Time To Pretend' in relation to this conglomerate of naive indie design mess. The scrumpled balls of paper also reminds me of a technique used at the beginning of the Kris Moyes video for "heart made of sound".
The difference between those videos and this one is that this lacks any clear or bold direction. Just a bunch of stuff that a thousand and one twenty something indie design kids would think up. Kind of 'cool' but also slightly boring.
         
oh come on, this is great.
         
No this really is not great.
         
An overload of psychedelic goodness. This was heaps of fun, and agree in that fact that this video saves the song. I thought the ending was going to burst into to a Jackson Pollock-esque finale. Great work guys.
         
This is an extremely high level of craft, detail, and creativity for what i'm sure was a zero money video. Why the need to pick on it? And really, 'time to pretend' is an example of a video with 'a clear and bold direction'? Come oooooon.
         
I'd bet 10 - 15k... there's definitely some obvious recent influences apparent here but seems to work in a hipster mess sort of way. I'll give it the thumbs up but I certainly wouldn't loosely use the term 'great' to describe it.
         
The 3d multiples fly through thing is exactly like 'time to pretend'. This video definitely feels in some ways like its trying to recreate the same slacker cool. There are repeated and reused shots, some distressed paper and some colour wheels.

In one word... Generic.
