Two minute trip

Two minutes of a simulated acid trip.

This is an editing exercise I am doing to see if I can capture the surreal nature of an acid trip. Comments are welcome.

I have never done acid so this is based purely on my imagination.

Please keep in mind that this is not an endorsement of acid or any drug. It is merely an excercise to improve my perspective as a film-maker.

If anyone watching this has experienced acid, intentional or unintentionally, feel free to send me a private message to let me know what is innacurrrate or what I might do to improve the feel of my video for accuracy's sake.

@vbishop91 Anything constructive? Perhaps some details or advice on how I could simulate it visually and convey the feeling of it? As I stated before this is an editing excercise. But as I have never done acid, nor do I intend to I would like some feedback on the experience and how it affects a person both visually and emotionally.

Ive done acid, and its a drug that nothing can simulate. there is NO other drug like it and no other feeling like it in the world. The only way you can explain a trip is if your talkin to someone who has taken acid as well

[Chainedflesh]

Can you expand upon the experience? Part the communication of film is to deliver the feeling of an experience, and that is what I had hoped to do here to a degree, but also to gain information from experienced individuals on this topic.

Any suggestions you can make that would help me to capture the feeling? Or even just a good description of the experience?

I like the surreal nature of your video, but it does nothing to capture a psychedelic trip. A trip is a personal experience, and it encapsulates all senses. It's not just a visual thing, and it's very atypical for most people who trip to experience such visual confusion in their hallucinations. Usually any visuals are things within the person's imagination insinuating themselves into the the surroundings which already exist. That's the best I can describe it. It's a personal experience.

Sorry to get to this so late, but thank you! This has been one of the best comments so far in details. Very constructive.

@Chainedflesh the affects of acid differ. Your emotions contol the visuals. First of all everything is brighter, your legs get jittery and the walls start to move a little, objects seem to contract and distort...then it goes into a sensational based world where your emotions truly control how you feel. I'm on it right now and I basically just described what one blotter will do to you.

@mycatwilatackyou Perfect description :)

[1fatkid2]

the best way i can describe it is a slow rush

[sadhappiness666]

this is how i was seeing before i fainted o_o

I have seen rust on a barbed wire fence alive like I have never seen it before . Laying on my back looking at the stars all the places where there are not stars resemble spheres hanging from the heavens . Palm trees breathing with life in them . Things you normally would not care about are suddenly and miraculously revealed to you in a way that you never knew possible and you learn to appreciate things . Music will flow through you and give you a new feeling . What else to say ? try it :)

Yes. There are aspects which are similar to the experience, but overall the effect is too heavy handed. Flanging is somewhat similar, but the emphasis should be on time dialation.

This video here is in no way lyrical. The psychedelic experience often takes on a story-like significance, but not so much in what is actually "seen" but what objects and events mean to the explorer. Time and space also appear blurred or convoluted, though this isn't the case either.

Haha that synesthesia thing happens to me while sober. I see sound and every letter and number has its own color.

[wassagoinon]

kind of reminds me of salvia, yet nothing like it. A psychedelic experience can't be captured in a video. plus sensations such as synesthesia, blending of the senses (see sounds, tasting colors), can only be experienced while on it. If you want a good video look up "lsd effect" , and look at the video of the guys face distorting in the mirror.
