This video really meant a lot to me. Although it may not seem like much, this was one of the harder mixes for me to make, because of the inspiration behind it. The music is done by Jon Brion on the soundtrack for Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. I was going to add dialogue, but I thought that it would take away from the mix, therefore...no dialogue...enjoy!

I like your video, the song made watching all those crazy visuals feel like I was on drugs or something. I have never seen Eternal Sun of The Spotless Mind but I don't want to imagine what scene that song is in.

Why was this mix really hard to make? Eyepost problems or finding images?

The scene with the tree blowing in the wind looked fake. It really tripped me out when the water (I think) flowed up and then down. The shot of the tree reminded me of the movie Requiem For A Dream.

Interestingly enough a lot of people were on drugs in that movie which is what your video originally reminded me of.

I like it.

My one criticism is that song ends abruptly at the end of the video. Obviously Eyespot isn't the best audio/video editor, but it left me with a really weird, unfinished feeling when it was over.

This is a far cry from sports. It's nicely done and it exposes me to music new to me. The only thing is that it could have been a little bit longer to include a few more images to go along with the music to round things out. Though I know it didn't have to be any particular length for our initial digital storytelling project. I felt a kind of unfinished feeling about it also.

That was a cool clip. My digital storytelling actually has parts of your clip in it, weird! I liked the music it really went along perfectly with the great landscape images. I like the flower budding and being so near to watch that experience and the seasons changing with the water flowing in and out, it was a little crazy because everything was moving so fast.

I think a little narration would have made it more interesting at some parts. It could have only had a few words and still been truly meaningful, but overall I liked it.

great video clips! the one of the lake drying up, followed by the tree being submerged in water was pretttty good. i wish the video were a little longer, but i guess all killer and no filler is better.

It was very mellow and kind of relaxed me for a bit. Reminded me of a commercial for the movie Garden State or those weather commercials they have on the news.

Very well done, with all the great shots and the music fit perfectly.

What is the name of that song? I think I have heard it before. On a side note, you Scott used some of the same images, But I really like those images so RAD! Go Green Peace.

I wanted to here words. I didn't think the video could stand alone with the music.

besides that, I did like the video.

I agree. No dialogue did make it better, more intrinsic. I really like the growth affect of nature. I'm wondering if you did that or if it was found like that?
