Thanks, means a lot to me
(actually, I sort of had a tear show up in the corner of my eye after reading this, since I really thought people would be disappointed in this - I'm not lying
)

Thanks on the good technical comments. It was kind of... painful getting the scenes and fades right, but hey - at least they worked.
Song-wise - like I mentioned somewhere, it's something that spontaneously came up on me and I couldn't help but ride the strong impression I had of it. Thus the mood thing.

Wait until I get that Captain Beefheart video out (could be one of the next 2 or 3 in line)

Always been one of my favorite artists. He alone makes this video worthy of download.
Sylvian is a huge influence on me, at least his collab work with Fripp (sadly, haven't heard anything beyond that yet).
He's my favorite definitely my favorite lyricist (actually, he's tied with Cap'n B as my favorite lyricist, but that's beside the point). As some of you who go to Demonseal may know, I listen to 'The First Day' and 'Damage' religiously
Originally I was planning to use something more outward and fun, probably something off the early parts of 'First Day', but I couldn't think for anything with my sources - so, this came. Actually, when I thought of doing this mood piece for KareKano, I had the songs 'Damage', 'Every Colour You Are' and 'First Day' to choose from, but the latter two I thought of as too complex for me lyrically, so I went with this...
...umm, too much commenting, sorry.

Thanks also. That's one thing me and many anime artists have in common, the obsession with dramatic/artistic properties of ordinary landscapes, and sometimes not-so-ordinary landscapes.
I still want to make a pure 'landscape video', but I've never found a way to pull it off right.

You even managed to put in a lot of effects and still keep everything smooth and not look forced in any way. My personal favourite were the torn pieces of paper at 2:50.
/me keeps
Wow, now here's a flattering comment. I actually kept referring to Insomnia in later stages of editing to make sure it didn't completely put me to shame, especially in the video quality deparment. (I was still too lazy to do hand-tweaking images like you, but a large amount of smoothing filters at least saved me from total embarassment
) So you actually deserve some credit for inspiring this yourself
As for effects - actually, I didn't list the video as having effects, but I guess there's kind of a debate as to what they are... I didn't put them as effects since I didn't use any outside software or source to create the things. And all they were is just a few color tweaks and overlays

Thanks dude

Anyway, thanks again to everyone. The thread put me in a good mood which I've sort of lacked for a few days
The Birds are using humanity in order to throw something terrifying at this green pig. And then what happens to us all later, that’s simply not important to them…
Well as you said, it is Karekano and it is serious, so let me check it out
