A Lesson from Koyaanisqatsi: video essay

[@AaronMcMullan]

I love absolutely everything about this. Everything. It's brilliant as a video essay, it's brilliant as a performance, it's brilliant as a short film. The tone you've nailed here, I haven't the words at this time of night to describe it, but it's just perfect, even aside from the specifics of what you're communicating, the way you've used your voice and the layering of the voice and the pace of it and the pace of the imagery alongside (your editing I mean, not just, like, the pace of the film whizzing by or crawling), it's intimate and feels conversational or maybe even like an overheard conversation in a strange way but it's also incredibly striking and compelling as a piece of sound design. I'm really glad I caught the mention of these video essays on twitter earlier tonight, for right from the off it's obvious you've hit something in this format this is just perfectly suited to your unique brand of analysis.

I mean... dude... thank you so much 🙏 It sounds arrogant to say 'I made these for people who love cinema' but I made these for people who love cinema, and you're one of them, so it really is for you 😀 really glad you got it, and thanks so much for the kind words above - I've been spinning these into the void, with nothing but rumination on how they might be landing, so it's just lovely to see some of how this one is landing 🚀
