Re: Nara
I have to say, honestly, this was a big let down. I enjoyed your last few videos far more than this one, this really just seems like some pretentious bullshit to me. I see a lot of random clips and LOL PEACE&HARMONY in the video info, but I really don't see the video portraying anything at all. It's just there.

Very original and artistic work. Masks were perfect and you did a great job at integrating them with the backgrounds. I love the little details such as the reflections and the fish ![Thumbs up :up:](./images/smilies/icon_local_up.gif)
P.S. The gallery on your page was interesting to go through. All you need is some "making of Nara" pictures to add to the awesomeness![Razz :P](./images/smilies/icon_razz.gif)

Re: Nara
While the concept is there. It's far from strong enough to carry the video. I think the story you were focusing on wasn't focused enough to grasp peoples attention. That aside though. While I can see that a fair amount of effort went into this, I'm not going to praise you to the heavens. As to be honest, none of this strikes me as particularly breathtaking as most people seem to suggest. While I will compliment you for doing something different it is absolutely not taking things to the next level.
Still however despite my criticism it was an interesting video to watch.

Re: Nara
I really liked your Hello World video so I thought I would check this one out.
The use of masking was amazing, and the visual quality perfect. But even when I finished the video I was still wondering which was really the point you were trying to reach. The sequence of clips was just right for the pace of the song, but the fact that most of them seemed incongruent with each other didn't help to carry on through all of it.
I liked the song/visual combination you made, so I had a good time watching it. If you were trying to reach for the artistic aspect of the video more than a point to it, you did it just fine.
