Comment by Chig on November 27, 2011 at 9:12am: This reminds me, I need to vacuum today. Thanks.

Oh, yeah and good to see you at it again... video making, not vacuuming, I mean. Although if you want to vacuum, and that is what you meant in this video... feel free to.

Comment by ThatGirl on November 27, 2011 at 9:15am: Holy Cannolis, Syd. WOW, just wow.

This is like being given the key to peek into someone's soul. your voice coupled with a perfect selection of animated footage, just knocked me back on this Sunday morning. I hope this did something cathartic for you, as it most certainly is effective upon me as the viewer. just beautiful

@CHIG - wow, you beat me to it by like SECONDS...and you sure have a way of creating a diversion when the subject is quite serious...I like this about you.

Comment by Chig on November 27, 2011 at 9:18am: @TG. I left the serious comment on VH..... Okay, you got me... it wasn't serious at all. Damn.

Comment by BlancheNoE on November 27, 2011 at 11:35am: I was tearing up as I watched because 1. You're voice is so achingly beautiful and 2. this is the kind of art that must touch anyone with a soul and 3. There's an element of this that is also in the video I've been working on for a year and a half and 4. Zombie-Chig was gnawing into my ankle while I was trying to watch.

Oh , Syd. So, so beautiful.

Thank you for being.

Comment by SydTheSkeptic on November 27, 2011 at 11:38am: Hey you guys, thanks!

Sara- thanks for seein' into it that far. Yes, catharsis- the best damn thing since peanut butter and chocolate (and I like that about Chig, too)

Space, the original animation by Ryan Woodward is definitely worth a look-see (I changed it for my video) but the music choice, imho, distracts from what I see is the story of the piece.

Much appreciated, all.

Comment by JustAnotherUserName on November 27, 2011 at 11:39am: I expected something fabulous and I wasn't disappointed.

Comment by SydTheSkeptic on November 27, 2011 at 11:46am: Oh wow, Blanchie...

Here's the funny thing- about how we inspire each other. I finished this only after I saw a blog by Flophouse who wrote about the exact thing I was struggling with that compelled me to begin working on this piece a while ago. I hesitate to talk about it cuz it takes away from what someone else might get from it.

I look forward to seeing your piece after it's allowed you to complete it. Art definitely has a tendency to give permission for moving forward, eh?

And thanks for your loverly words, too.
