[@trumpwatch9700]

The least they could have done was let you see him break the water & take his first breath. Sick artists like to leave you hanging instead of the crescendo of resolution. Such sadistic artists are not celebrators of life but celebrators of bondage. I'm not interested in that. I've always been into extreme sports but you have to either show the victory in it's fullness or the defeat in it's fullness or you're not an artist that celebrates life & reality but a manipulator & most likely a bully. Not saying the diver had a say in how this was filmed. Based on his bio I doubt that was his doing. It's probably the doing of the photographer. Hopefully the diver never uses that production service again. PS. After having the dialog you may have noticed I have changed my attitude. I was wrong to have concluded that Daan is guilty of any of the hyperbolic comments above that I made. I should have given him the benefit of the doubt & used a less accusatory style. He explained what really happened & I felt kind of small when I realized he knew what I was talking about and actually agreed with the on factual point I made. I decided not to edit my comments out but to leave them as examples of how not to communicate with an artist about their work.

@@trumpwatch9700 look a bit closer - it's a series of videos Stig and I made together

[@trumpwatch9700]

@@DaanVerhoeven Either you understood what I meant or you didn't. It's not a case of looking closer because what I'm talking about has nothing to do with looking closer. It's about crescendo in art that has an emotional progression. You decided to destroy rather than celebrate. Therefore I decided to criticize rather than praise. My criticism is as valid a response to your art as any other. If you make choices to go one way it means you don't get to have it the other. The only thing that should matter to you is whether your art pleases you. Obviously it does so let it do that for you. You're going to get criticism regardless of what you create. But my post was an observation that was more directed to the person who said they were having nightmares after watching. I recognized why. You didn't resolve your art for the viewer. You gave her no relief. I recognized that because I too was dissatisfied having been robbed of that breath. I too am a diver. I learned free diving & scuba as a teen ager on Maui. I've been at the bottom of some deep dives I watched your diver controlling his gasp reflex I related to everything in my body screaming for air while I maintained control - and you never gave me that breath. For me the ascent from a free dive is all about that breath. In fact the entire dive is coordinated & governed by that first breath. Playing that down to celebrate the rest of the dive may is art no doubt but it's weird art because it does not celebrate the crescendo, the orgasm, that moment of transformation that cannot be imitated but only authenticated through the experience itself. Denying that moment to say it's about all the other moments preceding it - I find pretentious - especially since you took us almost to that breath. If actually do achieve that in a series of videos -- it's not working because there's no reference to that in your presentation & I have no motivation to watch others because of what you did to me in this one - with no directions how to watch it properly - if that's in fact the case.

[@DaanVerhoeven]

i partially agree with you - in all of those other films i made with Stig in that playlist, i emphasise that moment of first breath after a dive, that relief and exaltation in exhalation and inspiration. The simple reason i didn't in this movie is that the shot where Stig breathes is quite messy: there are a lot of people on the surface of that pool. Plus it's a reverse shot, and i thought it would take too many people out of the moment. It was a difficult choice to cut there, and your argument that it's the wrong choice has some validity. But i didn't want to end with a mess, and i started underwater so i ended underwater. The rest of my films with Stig are not that way - up to you if you want to watch them or not.

[@roarv]

I felt unsatisfied because I wanted to see him take a breathe at the surface.

[@Winsociety]

Since I was 6-7 year old, I've taken care of my disabled mother. I'm 24 now and 2 days ago she had a really bad car wreck (T-boned by a car going 60 mph). I still take care of her even it means me sleeping by her bedside for 3 days with almost no sleep to make sure she's okay. On top of this I'm a full time student and worker. I literally live adversity every day. And so do a lot of us. The one thing that gets me through it all, is that no matter how hard is, no matter how inescapable your situation feels, you will make it and see a sunny day if you just keep going. Just remember this: when all of this adversity is hitting you like a train, remember that there is always beauty and greatness in this world, whether in your friends, family, a hobby, or a beautiful view. There is always beauty hiding in the ugliness of life. There is always happiness where darkness swallows us. It's searching for those little things that make life livable. Never stop searching for them. This is my message to any and all of you struggling right now. I love all of you and I know you all can make it. I know you will find happiness somehow, someway, some day. Keep positive my friends. It's contagious :) @Daan Verhoeven - This video was one of the main influences that influenced me to keep going when I was at the lowest point in my self-building endeavors. I don't know a thing about diving, but I like to think that this video speaks to everyone no matter what their situation is. You make unique, inspiring content. I wish you the best with your videos! It's reassuring to see someone ambitious aspiring to achieve their dreams as you have. I look forward to all of your future content.

I can understand how he can learn to hold his breath for so long. But how the hell does he pressure stabilize so fast? That was a pretty crazy transition of dephts that he went through.

[@alanz777]

There is always some kind of logical explanation to that. Keep that in mind whenever you look into comments for an answer ; )

[@yogiballa]

@@alanz777 I’m pretty sure that was already in mind when that question was asked. That’s like me saying- make sure you actually want to know the answer to the question you’re asking. And even if you don’t really want to know the answer, knowing the answer will help you realize what kinds of answers you will want to know in the future. So no matter what it’s movement. You know, the kind of pressure stabilizing movement that one may experience through freediving

[@yogiballa]

Also pretty sure the reason for his body being able to adjust is the same reason he can hold his breath. Extremely dedicated training.

Talent 2.0 On the contrary, I found its symbology welcoming and insightful. The room of water he’s in and the limited amount of oxygen he has is a representation of our limited time on this earth and the dark room before him is the opportunity of change and new experience. Although it is unknown and possibly scary to the viewer you must go In order for a change to happen or to experience something new , however at the end of passing through he is still faced with a “leap of faith” that by the only way taking it is the only way you’ll learn. I’m sure you got something to that effect. Complexity and meaning is all derived from the viewer .

"... and then you venture into the dark... and it turns out that dark doesn't hurt..." This is very true as many people are afraid of taking this step, venturing into the dark, beginning to see what's in the dark, what was hidden for so long, dropping towards the bottom of your soul, finally rising, from what you found down there, your true self, and it's not dark anymore, there's light.. venturing into dark takes a lot of courrage! Thank you for your words!!! :-)
