Jesus Oto you totally need to bring some mushrooms to AWA for good times. And I thought I was a stoner...

The video's execution is VERY good and it did what it was trying to do (that might sound presumptuous) perfectly. It felt very spooky and mischevious, and felt more like a film sequence rather than an AMV. I liked it a lot.

Now of course if that peice had been connected to some explosive climax where real events happen that people could connect too, you'd have a masterpeice on your hands. But you already knew that of course.

Theres something to be said about deliberatly leaving your audience with blue balls and I like it.

Thanks guys!

Surely Frank would heartily approve of that reaction, if he and his prostate were still alive. :)

To a large extent though, before I get accused of screwing with the viewer - the main 'joke' is on me. Anyone who's seen some of my other serious videos can easily see why.

And by the way, contrary to popular belief, I don't um... 'intake' :roll:

Wouldn't the guy count as a character? He shows up repeatedly, such as when he passes through the door or the food scene. :?

Expect Jaeger-driven commentary within 24 hours -- somebody drank all the Steiger at work, so I obviously can't watch this till I get home.

I hope you continue on with this concept, the plot has thickened, now mold it into the masterpiece it will become.
