| [27.01.2018] ShinNinja » A Moment Apart [Nards] | I kept thinking that the characters were obsessed with Dungeons and Dragons and had D20s on their mind. Was hoping the beat would drop and we'd get some fantasy fight sequences and the result of a nat 20 or even a nat 1 or something.
Joke aside, the strengths seemed to be the subtelty of motion and aesthetic composition of the scenes. Its got that artsy vibe, but like the character in the video I couldn't tell why or what we're grasping for other then the general sense of wanting. Pacing and sync were ok, established what it would be doing after the initial 30-40 seconds which seemed ok, but I would have liked more of a roller coaster ride to differentiate the sections more with a give and take of the lyrics. I loved the dramatic hold type scenes and the sync on those pop sounds like the scenes at 1:47 or the hands at 1:54 or eyes at 2:18.
The ending felt empty to me since he finally gets there and then its a fast montage of past scenes representing his longing but still have no idea why he was longing in the first place, what it is that he thinks he might have now or obtained, or why we even followed him. Why is this personal journey suddenly so public with all these shots of people and the news, where were they before? I guess it fits you're description that we're all never satisfied, he gets to the payoff, but we don't really get the payoff. I think there's a bit of an abstract trap that we've fallen into here and agree a lot with ThalesEditions post about the symbolism. Its there, its abstract, but no real indication of what it means other then the lead character is obsessed with it.
Overall nice presentation, you got some nice technical skills and a lot of potential. I'm interested to see what else you come up with. |
