nice video

@planetery lol...you started out inferring that you hadn't seen it so how much stock should I put in critique based on conjecture? Still, the discussion is fun.

I agree with most of your points but argue their relevance to this project and it's goals. We're divided at its core and everything else stems from that divide. There is no right or wrong. I'll do my thing with my projects, you do your thing with your projects and the world will be richer for the options.

[planetery]

@kureejiieshi LMAO I don't need "control." I need art that is cohesive and well-thought out. Like I said, all the rhetoric in the world won't cover the essential flaws at the heart of the concept (and the fact that they would be nonexistent with just a little more hard work). Just accept the critique like a grown-up, and apply it to the next one, so you don't have to hear something like this again.

Or is the problem here that you literally do not comprehend what I'm talking about?

[kureejiieshi]

@planetery It's shown and released in a number of different ways to be approachable to different audiences. There is no disconnect there. If you don't want to watch it in a single sitting then use your DVR when it airs, catch it when it's a webcast that isn't live streaming, or rent/ purchase the DVD. That's not backpedaling... it's logic. If you need control then you need to pick a set of circumstances which gives you that control.

@kureejiieshi "This is video. The audience doesn't 'have' to sit through anything. " "It's seen over a hundred screens, airs on numerous public access channels".

Cognitive dissonance, or just forgetful backpedaling?

Anyway, the animation (on a scene by scene basis) is okay, but the quality of the fundamental concept and overall execution are not what they could be. No amount of rhetoric can obscure the basic fact that the project is flawed at its core.

[kureejiieshi]

@planetery Each artist did highlight a few scenes. All together that covers the movie.

This is video. The audience doesn't 'have' to sit through anything. Those interested are allowed to watch it. Some will like it and some will not. (Some have loved it and others have hated it.) Some will watch it as a whole... other nav through and watch a few clips at a time. Those are all options. That's why DVD players have remotes and streaming video has control bars. You control if/ how you watch.

@kureejiieshi If the goal is not to make a cohesive film, then the project needs to try harder. Genius is in the editing. If the intent is simply to "show a collection of responses which can inform future viewing of that original film", then you don't have to do the whole film. You can pick highlights. And then the audience doesn't have to sit through a feature-length dose of something rambling and disjointed.

Then again, maybe dissociation is your whole point,,, :-\

[kureejiieshi]

@planetery You are right on both accounts. The project was a supplemental experience that is intended to be kaleidoscopic and cacophonous not a cohesive stand alone film. Most hard core fans have seen night to the point that they know the beats by heart... the intent wasn't to replace that... but to show a collection of responses which can inform future viewing of that original film. So you're not wrong in what you're saying... but it doesn't align with the project's goals.

@kureejiieshi Dude, i AM an artist. i used to be a filmmaker. And my PROFESSIONAL opinion is that this piece of art does not stand on it's own terms.
