Cactus Friends

Hey Everyone,
First off thanks for vibrating as such an amazing community. This place is groovy.

Here is a video that I worked way too hard on, and am far too anxious about. I don’t even know what it is about anymore, it is far too close to home, and I need some outside perspective on it to help knock me out of my anxiety around it.

I was so lucky to be able to work with so many Fantastic, Hilarious, Vibrant, Beautiful people, they all worked so hard on the project and I feel real blessed to have friends like these. I hope I get to make more crazy art with them soon.

Here is Cactus Friends, please let me know what you Think. :smiley:

@bwo can I solicit your critique?

Definitely feels like a lot is going on, some how the meeting at 2 gave me a chuckle seems everyone meets at 2 these days. There are points of it that gave me a bit of a reefer madness vibe for a moment. I think the multi panel effect when eating, and that extended reach arm touch work the best with the music. I feel like you could consider focusing in on stuff like that and keep and eerie vibe the whole time. There are a lot of directions you could go with it.

Haha it’s certainly weird, pretty funny at times. Some of the cuts were pretty cool, although the pacing overall was very sporadic, some slower parts to catch a breath would’ve been nice. The colourful lighting towards the end gave a nice atmosphere.
Definitely seems like you had quite the fun doing the video!

Thank you this is great info your giving me. Writing the script was a waking dream. I’d love to do more shots in the future like the reaching one at the end. We tried to over exaggerate a lot of the more cliche shots. Thanks for your time and thoughts :pray:

The team had so much fun!! It was a blessing to get to work with all these people. I’ll let my friend Zane know you enjoyed the lighting!!
Pacing is definitely something we could improve.
I think with the next project I want to have more individual sound effects too
