If The Brakeman Turns My Way - Bright Eyes

My video for the Bright Eyes 'Brakeman' contest.

When listening to this song, the image that kept coming into my head was of dandelion seeds flying about... With the wind deciding where they end up, how that affects what becomes of them and how they affect other things.

So that's my basic concept for the video. Why beanstalks keep popping up in my art I have no idea...

Drawings/paintings/cut up pieces of paper/animation by me.

I loved this video.

Did you by any chance have the seeds the landed on different parts of the soil develop differently on purpose?

Maybe I'm analyzing it too much, but I loved it anyways.

[kaebobee]

I did... I was playing with the idea that little things can cause big effects and vastly change how things turn out, though they all started out from the same place and looked the same.

Thanks :)

This one's definately my favorite. It was just so thought provoking and beautiful. I have an idea what it's trying to say... maybe like losing sight of things as we try to reach our goals and aspirations. Just a swing at it.

It sucks writing with a Wii.

okay, ive watched about 20 videos which were all really lame and cliche

but this one is fantastic, so good on you for avoiding the train tracks and rivers and homeless people
