Wish you could've finished this. Now I'll never get know what your crazy mind was cookin with it. Keep being creative man!

This was very cool. KZbin algorithm served it to me, felt like I owed a comment.

Very cool ideas in this film. Nothing should ever be truly scrapped because you take those failed pieces and put them to use in your next masterpiece.

@@staysleepy5248 very accurate statement. I ended up re-purposing much of the more emotionally potent content from this project into my next film, Tales From the Exit Door. Check it out on my channel if you haven’t!!

Just watched this and ended up reading the article you linked in the description. This is some good work, and it would make a great finale for the finished video. Not trying to force advice on you, and it may sound basic, but you need to stop wishing things worked out and start making them happen. It looks like you've been working on various projects for years, clearly you have an affinity for creativity and you have some genuineness you want to share with the world. Don't let your fear of failure hold you back brother, if you fail that sucks, but instead of feeling bad about it, learn what you can and keep going (even if it's passive learning through practice). It always helps me to stop dramatizing hiccups as big failures. Like, If you want to finish this and post it, go for it, if you aren't feeling it anymore, that's not a big deal. If you want to create something beautiful, you're going to have to allow yourself to do it, not abide by circumstance, or settle down with the "bad luck" excuse. People want to see what you make man, I already know I want to see more, and I bet my friends would like it too. Giving up is for chumps, homie.

Thanks for checking it out! A big point I drove home in that article was how failure can be such a necessary step to generating success. You can often use your own failure and re-purpose it. In a sense, nothing really dies, it's just added to your artistic toolbelt. It's impossible to delete experience and that's both a sad and scary thought depending on what exactly happened to you. That article was a celebration of how I used previous failure and aspirations to create what I honestly think is my best work yet, Tales From the Exit Door. It's out. It's available, and it's a culmination of hard work. In a way, yes, everything does happen for a reason. It's possible to be both sad "thing's didn't work out" and happy to be moving on with new ventures. I don't feel defeated anymore because I know everything is a necessary step (missed or not) to making great art. I definitely don't feel like you should walk away from that reading, especially after reading the 𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐩𝐡𝐬, with the gist I'm giving up, but the exact opposite.
