  • OK. I uploaded it to my website in high resolution. Youtube blocks any URLs posted here for some reason but my website is rebus101"dot"com

  • Part 36: I will upload this video in full quality to vimeo when I get my next new video commission. Please help by "liking" my work on Facebook? I'm at Facebook "dot" com / rebus101

  • Part 35: It has been nearly ten years since I filmed this video. I am amazed that ANYONE even bothered to look at it, much less that it has created a career as a director for some of my favorite artists. I want to thank you, the viewers for watching, commenting, and debating the merits of this video. Ultimately the only point I wanted to get across in this work is that you may be programmed to see things in a certain way. But remember: others see things differently. We all do. Allow for that. :)

  • Part 34: The last shot was done in 3 parts. First I filmed the tree blowing in the wind in full color, then in black & white, and then to the Tree icon. Then, finally, I fade out to white. Fading on white can "mean" heaven in the minds of some film viewers but I thought it was just another way to add to the ambiguity, rather than fade to black which could mean "death". In retrospect I believe this may have been my way of dealing with the loss of my grandmother, who raised me, and who passed away

  • Part 33: By turning and zooming the camera I learned to "play" the light, the way years ago I had learned to play with guitar feedback, by adjusting the distance and angle of the guitar to the speaker, and likewise with the camera and TV monitor. The effect at 5:24 is what happens when with a specific TV and a specific camera and at just the right speed, you do a slow zoom while playing with video feedback. And when that high note peaks and that orchestra swells some have posted "Braingasms"

  • Part 32: I also loved the way when the camera is struck it distorts in big blocks. This was filmed then in Black & White and cut together to add to the idea of a slow breaking down of the camera's function. At 5:11 we see what is known as visual feedback. This is similar to guitar feedback in that this is what happens when you film a screen which your camera is displaying on in real time. The processing creates a slight delay which creates the strangest, and beautiful, play of pure light

  • So, should I explain my intentions in writing, casting, shooting, directing, and editing this video the way that I did?

  • @rebus101 Well, I wanted a detailed explanation... and I certainly got one. Once again, thanks for the video and the insight on how you went about producing it.
