I was hoping there would be more notes! Like, what you discovered about yourself or your art while making this, etc.

This would be an excellent vid by itself, even without the awesome concept. I really dig that you used vids both finished and unfinished, since unfinished ones are just as much a part of your creative output.

LMAO! "More notes" what is this, 2009? ;)

To answer your question, this vid seemed really easy to make at first, like how hard would it be to vid your own stuff? But it was one of the most difficult vidding experiences I've ever had. Maybe because the song required me to be so honest, and I think I wasn't prepared at just how honest I'd have to be, so it turned out therapeutic and freeing but also simultaneously brutal. I think since I was premiering it at Vividcon I did add a bit more meta vidding stuff into the spine of the vid to try and include others into this, not sure if it worked or not, but certainly those visuals can be applied to myself directly as well. At the end of the day I think I would recommend this as an experience, but watch out because it will make you feel weird about yourself lol.

Thank you so much for your continuous comments on my vids. I really appreciate it!
