Thank you for posting it :)

I think this is great! The complainers miss the point, that the bad audio and camera work is done for effect. Nicely, very artistic.

[AzraelEmir]

[KatherineFallen]

terrible camera work 

[lastcaw]

@jcpelly Actually, it was all composited from a still photograph. First, they totally threw off the color curves in Photoshop to emulate a video camera that isn't properly white-balanced. Then they dropped it in AfterEffects, designated it as a 3D layer, and created a simulated camera to give the illusion of tilts, pans, zooms, weird canted angles, and shaky handheld camera work. After that, they dropped it in Final Cut Pro for the final touches: adding some awful jump cuts for added realism.

This is my life right now.  I'm in a foreign country (Australia) with a language that is foreign but understandable and I am writing my thesis now to take back to my mother land with me when my work is over or whenever I run out of money, whichever comes first but what is life without some adventure?

Fear of failure, even bigger fear of success, ahaha

What song is this?

[ricardoivanh]

@BlackNoir I think this song comes in the soundtrack of that motion picture named Babel, directed by Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu.

Very Radiohead circa Hail to the thief.
