OnIrIcA

This wasn't an amv when I thought it; I turned it into amv before starting work;

Dreams have always fascinated me. When you sleep the brain is truly free, and the memories, desires, fears,
can mingle and deform in something bigger

the hardest project for now, probably not very enjoyable i know XD

Yeah , this isn't my thing. Editing is kinda amusing but combo just didnt do it for me (music is meh imo) Some of the effects felt a bit too random here (ex mirroring, face distort mhm... im not sure) Good experiment i guess :dino:
Still better than that MMO.

I don't mind the repetition of this one bit, although repetition of the text, as it was, felt a little overdone. I'm also sure that trying to form an opinion of this after one viewing is a rush to judgement, there's a lot going on here.

I don't care for violence and gore at all but this felt relatively tame compared to what I was bracing myself for. Still, this won't be for everybody, but it didn't cross the line for me, whatever that's worth.

You definitely established a foreboding atmosphere in this, and there was always just enough uncertainty about what you were going to do next that it kept me on edge but never felt too random or unhinged. Epilepsy warning was very earned. Still, this kind of thing can get very irritating to watch (imo) but kind of flashing, whether it was the colors or the frequency of the strobe effects, was actually kind of nice to just lay back and bathe in. Can't say that about the visuals themselves but I guess that's the point.

This comment, so far, has said next to nothing of any importance about the video itself, and I guess it's not going to do that. But I hope it intrigues someone else enough to watch this for themselves and make up their own mind.

Did you just start editing last year? All your other videos are from 2016, both here and on Youtube.

Thanks seasons

My first publication was "The Rainbow Abyss", yeah 2016, but I have started in 2013. 2013/2014 It was a period of unfinished projects, and superficial technique because I did it just for me....2015 I finally started to push me on some more concrete project. Then in 2016 my first video posted.

Onirica is my hardest project for various reason. The first idea about this, was an "experiment", about 10 minutes of something that was completely different than amv... but I knew it would be too pretentious, and probably no one would ever watched it. So I adapted this into an amv.
I consider the dream itself protagonist as much as the sleeping woman, and I put a lot of content (at least, that was the intention), soul mutation that passes through the body, the dream that reveals the lies we tell ourselves, and I tried to make some parts totally interpretable because as a result of those which are unequivocal we still get the idea that I wanted.

But you know, i don't make perfect videos, everything I do can be criticized. It's a part of my style, and my mistakes as editor, and this amv in particular may like or not, I think it's a matter of taste.

So to answer to Mol, I understand you perfectly, no problem with this ;) thanks for watching the video
