The Root of All Suffering

[@Dreiz_Designz]

I think the message is that, us waiting for our expectations to aspire is in itself futile. When our expectations is to seek happiness and fulfilment (the loading screen), what we are expecting isn’t truly what will lead to our satisfaction in life. The mundane and the normalcy of sitting at a desk is ubiquitous in the modern age, the so called rat race. We as the audience realise the oasis of beauty of the protagonists external environment yet the character is so ignorant and unaware of the present state that surrounds him. He seeks and chases for the high of enlightenment when the true antidote is of the present in which the character doesn’t realise before it’s too late.

[@ekke720]

needed that, thank you.

[@TylerArmyLeader]

I love you.

[@Dark_Souls8907]

I don't understand Edit: Nvm I understand now

[@TylerArmyLeader]

I love you

[@Voete]

Wow, this changes my perspective thank you!

[@HarpAeris]

Everyone talks about the visuals - but the sound design is actually insane

[@arafatmahmud9003]

do you know the music name?

[@HarpAeris]

It's by @war_mothh I think..

[@iagree8947]

Commenting for the algorithm, this is what youtube should be used for. Stunning piece of art

[@roh_kun]

Me also commenting for the algorithm, this is how everyone should appreciate the 'actual good content'

[@tonyd.u.y7262]

I'm also commenting so that I can see more work like this

[@gunnazaki]

commenting for same reason

[@joeliberty8399]

Likewise man! This is the type of content I log on to watch.

I like how the cups gradually stack up on the desk. It’s a small visual detail, but it adds depth to the video highlighting the passage of time.

[@dontseemyprofilepic3157]

It’s also a classic “reject sleep, more coffee” situation from working too long.

[@RosenBachev]

The floating shot still got me hooked! Actually good short film.

[@Tyke.create]

yeah actually the shot is insane. Do you have by any chance an idea of how it's made?

[@SandyinYoutube]

​@Tyke.create I'm curious to know that too

[@tadhgeoghancarraher3222]

Go watch his shot by shot episode on digital spaghetti he shows how he made that floating scene and many others

[@Tyke.create]

@@tadhgeoghancarraher3222 thanks for the info goat!

[@malaahar]

The film captures the essence of human mind so well. The human mind masters detachment from its immediate environment and rests itself within the boundaries of where it wants to be exported to. As I see it, the guy is seen living in different places inside his head, obscure of his present state amd surroundings. He's living everywhere but where he actually is. Dark and Beautiful film.

[@iamLucid]

How the hell did you do that floating shot. This is amazing

[@kkxiiix]

i love you lucid

[@KYLETISZAI]

I wanna do floating shots drop the tea

[@UtahBoot]

Im guessing it couldve been slowmo

[@ArvindThakur-vp1ux]

⁠as the background is black so there might be people or some sort of rods that is holding him up and also the objects might be attached to a rod that is hold by a person in dark

[@smilemorewithsammy]

Digital Spaghetti interview with him is out now, slowmo 120FPS jumping on trampoline, everything else is masked out and key-framed 💀💀💀

[@rezrez-bs4uo]

The person is so into the work, expecting that he will get satisfaction once he's done that he fails to realizes the true satisfaction was always all around him.

[@Rabbert]

Unbelievable visuals paired with an intriguing story and deep meaning executed beautifully. The final shot of the disc being shattered with expectations written on it 👌 and the final profanity tied it all together. (I loved the smooth cassette tape insert) Slowmo cassette replay button: 0:27

[@withvung]

🥳

[@dewterbar]

couldnt have said it better rabbert

[@ValerieTheodas]

That floating shot🤯🤯🤯 This video encapsulates so much beauty and meaning with such a simple premise, by far my favorite work from you so far. AMAZING 🤩

[@Ted_Kutina]

My jaw hit the floor when bruh started floating 😂So much variety in the shots and such a simple, effective premise, keep up the good work!!

[@Ben_Csoka_Productions]

Dude. Everything about this is amazing. Love the story telling and creativity that you express with the setting and colors of the film man. U nailed composition too🔥🔥

[@Tyke.create]

I'm troubled. 3 minutes, no voice, 100% of shots are sublime and relevant to the story, and video and music coordination is perfectly on point. Thanks to have delivered a strong message to us that we'll remember a long time

[@animationmann]

At the End 2:36 "Expectation are the root of all suffering avi(avi dataformat)" i love subtle hints that make it rewatchable so lets go and the 2:58 "Better Luck Next Time" reminds on a Animation that i watched on KZbin about a Teenager and a Older Principal who gambled his money during Workhours.

[@blu3bary]

omg are you talking about vewn?! because i absolutely love their animations and know exactly the one you are talking about, the high school counselor asks the kid what he wants to do in life while he drinks and gambles during their sessions (the counselor)

[@animationmann]

@@blu3bary Yes such a Small World in KZbin haha

[@VidaCruX]

Man I have totally no idea what is this, but hell I just love it.

[@hEMA-BA]

love the retro vibe and the color grading .

[@EricaJ.]

OMG MY MIND IS BLOWN! you creative genius!

[@stanislav_proko8315]

I know this will become very big in the future. your work is amazing! Well, we have to wait for your next job.

[@MysteriouslyUnknown]

Holy bro. This short film is insane. The ambience created by the ethereal music, old camera vintage style color grading, and the insane creative shots is insane. The easter eggs with the ending too, wow. Not to mention the entire message. Beautiful.

[@jorgeet3049]

How would you describe the entire message?

[@ARandomPersonKSI]

The cinematography and color grading is amazing

[@Mystic_Paths]

Addressing these root causes-through acceptance, personal responsibility, and a deeper understanding of oneself-can help individuals navigate suffering and cultivate a more fulfilling life

[@differentone_p]

this color correction is so beautiful I really like it.

[@harmanverma4405]

Desperation and obsession with what you want to achieve, focussing day and night, almost in a frenzy, and yet all you get is an...error.

[@DigicamRevival]

I just turned 31 and started journaling. Yesterdays entry was about Expectations and my similar conclusion. Weird how I planned on making a video about it, and this just simply exceeded anything I could begin to express, currently. Incredible. Instant sub. Looking forward to watching your journey.

[@wherescalebshaw]

officially crawled into your brain with this one

[@BackslideDan]

I feel like the prince in Monty Python looking out, over the swamps his father points out and thinking "The Walkman?"

[@configured4357]

subscribing before you even have 10k is insane, this was a pleasure to watch

[@RellisLCT]

wow this was so well made. great job! the way this is shot makes it look like a dream or like you are actually inside of a windows desktop. all super cool but the shot with you "floating" was amazing.

[@Bananaboma-vb7kb]

i would say im not a very happy person compared to most people. i just turned 16 and i dont have any childhood memories, and mabye i have them but i cant remember. I often worry about weither ill have memories on my death bed or when i get old. Thats because ive talked to a lot of adults, and they say that making memories is important. I can remember things vagely but theres no emotional stimulus like happyness. Sometimes anger but most of the time nothing at all. Im 16 and i think that ive been the same way mentaly all of my life. I feel like i never had a childhood even thought i techniqily did. I belive my parents did a great job. They provided, gave me presents(which i did enjoy in the moment so mabye i have some good memories, but not really nostalgia. On paper my life is better than so many people and i know i should be greatful for what i have because I could have it much worse. But i think that mentaly my entire life has been shit. And its not anyones fault. Mabye my own, but i dont know why i have the mental state i do. I havent had this problem as much recently but when I get into my parents cars and we start driving I kind of want to get hit by a car so i can die. Ive cut off some of those thoughts, but i still feel like shit mentally. I feel like im not there. I dont even enjoy video games much anymore. I used to so mabye i used to be happy but (and i cant remember how long ive had this but i think its been a few years but when im laughing with friends, and even when im not faking it, laughing so hard that i cant breath, im almost thinking that "somethings wrong" and feel like its not true laughter. Its funny but for some reason there almost feels like there is something missing) I have a lot more issues mentally and a few months ago i think i almost drove myself insane. It was 2 or 3 am and i was in the shower. And i dont have very much of a inner monolauge, but i was thinking about weither i would press a button if it would end all of consiousness, just make everyone dissapear without any pain. They just sees to exist. And i started thinking about how i should end humanity because theres too much suffering, and I think my personality almost changed temporarily although mabye it was me. But eventually i got out of it. But the thief of joy for me is comparison. Im almost always comparing my experiences to others and it makes me unhappy because they seem so much more happy than me. Like me assuming other people feel more emotion, or that there going to memories on their death bed that they will accualy find joy in unlike me. etc... (the only thing that i think i have experienced true happyness (and now that i think about it this is accualy a good memory for me, but even now im comparing it to others memories(even though i cant see inside of their head so who knows if their memories are even good) But that aside, it was when i was at the grocery store with my dad and this old lady asked me if i could put this one thing from the conveyer belt back in her cart in her cart at the register because the lady was done scanning it or something. However i put everything back in her cart and she started thanking me and I dont ever really experience that kind of happyness ever.

[@amirelkomos6457]

Listen, I don't know what is the source of your suffering, but I have a sad past, too. So, I understand how a person with a life that seems very good can suffer all the time and never be happy. I also know that feeling when having fun or laughing feels wrong and the feeling that games are not that fun and the feeling that you want your life to end or the whole world to end. And I know how painful are comparisons. Please go get help from a professional; go to a psychiatrist, even if you have to go secretly alone. Sometimes, few things or even a single problem can ruin all your life. So, you need to know those issues and fix them and all your life will get fixed.

[@mjboy5201]

Hey bro, i just want to tell you that why would you think that you lost your childhood and lost your memories , why, why wouldn't you just live your childhood now, who stopping you, the best thing about childhood about is you can live it anytime anywhere , just do anythings without of any fear of future, also true happiness is when you do someone for something without expecting from anything him, after when you done that thing, you will receive a happiness of other, Now you happy ,other happy, true happiness, also i dont commenting in any videos , but i love reading comments, when i saw your comment i think thats the my time, now i can comment 😇

[@MrHaydnSir]

this is purely incredible - just so unbelievably raw; the ultimate, 'fine, i'll do it myself'

[@ItsJamesZhao]

The cassette slow mo shot tickled my brain. Too good

Love the colorgrade. Wonderful work.

[@GriffB513]

Insane. The layers to the video are there, if you have an expectation of what the video will be you risk your enjoyment plummeting

[@ads_mello]

this is amazing mate, the cinematography, the cuts, the grading, everything visually is beautiful

[@Defirence]

Can't say more than this, this is a masterpiece, absolute kino. Bravo, you deserve a comment, like and sub. The atmosphere and sound design including the music caught my attention :D

the day you reach 100k is the day you get what you deserve my man. this video is REALLY good.

[@029_rafeehidayat3]

humans are needy creatures, we will have desires that need to be met, but supplementing those desires with folly things create suffering, its that simple

I'm beyond happy, and beyond grateful to Digital spaghetti for introducing me to your art, this is mesmerising

this was sick bro, keep it up

THE MOST BEAUTIFUL VIDEO ON KZbin!!! Not just visually, but in every aspect of it!!

Brooo you’re insane!! This was amazing

[@joshburcroff9145]

Watched this at least ten times now, still so much more to ponder and reflect on here.

[@Jesusisyourrescue]

This was quite astonishing. I liked how i was hooked by the very effective editing while you put in the cassette into the walkman. This slow mo shot did it for me to get hooked. The production of this must have been not that easy, to put all the stuff into those different Locations. The story was not good enough for me though to convince me that this time was spent right, but the overall vision and the phenomenal floating shot made it a superior time to Watch. Thank you. Great effort and Talent.

[@Daniel.Carrai]

Stunning. Thank you for making this. Please make more, for me, for the world, for you. excited to follow

[@sami4cinema]

this is actually an immaculate piece of art mate!!! congrats🥳🥳😮‍💨 i think you’ve accomplished such an interesting storytelling and i meannnnn, that floating shot is soooooo magical. you’re such an inspiration!!! thank you for your incredible creativity 🫡:)

Guaranteed the next Hit Bro its such a refreshing Video to watch and well made props for that i liked the Walkman Scene at the Beginning and you walking at the same Time.

Seeking happiness is where all the sadness lies.

[@crubl25]

pure art! hoping this video will reach more and more people

It is the first time in a while that I see an editing style that is personal and not some copycat of some Tiktok aesthetic. Great job and good luck for your future projects !

[@CharlesMonteith]

Really well done man!

[@TrashCinematic]

Absolutely stunning!

[@Shashank-xu1hl]

Such a piece of art The score was amazing.

[@Coolguy-qb3lr]

I think it's a warning, if all you do is work expecting things to workout the way you want you will ultimately be left with nothing. Expectations shattered like the cd containing all his work. I also find it interesting that every setting he is shown he has brought his work with him mean while none of the settings are appropriate at all. And when it shows him floating in a lifeless manner maybe this is because he isn't truly living and that basically makes him just matter in space. Whatever the case I enjoyed this surreal short film. Very interesting. Very cool.

[@dvanepope5602]

I think the message is that nowadays people are trying waaay too hard to fit current day standart of living. Being rich, having good and comfortable job. everyone gets this idea from social media(screen) where everyone constantly boast about their achievements and life victories. After looking at them everyone starts to think "am i living the worng way? Should i persue higher goals?". It creates an illusion of rivalry with people you dont even damn know. You set your expectations high and start to work to make them become reality. But life isnt that easy, just by working hard you wont magically become everything you always dreamed of becoming.

[@apple.cheeks]

This goes crazy!

I might be suffering, and I feel suffered… However, for whatever reason, I’m happy yet worried.

Dude.... that was amazing direction, editing, etc. I also love the message; you're going to go somewhere big!

[@Vellzi]

I'm 29, my birthday is soon. I've planning on going on a very, very long hike to hide in the countryside/wilderness for a while. I need to think about things, and get away from people. It's been a long time coming. I'm a huge nerd, but I love being outdoors too. This video works for me, I'm not sure what the original meaning of the art was, but I can see it through my own lense, which I guess could be pretty selfish depending on what the person who made it wanted, but I hope not. Being in a beautiful countyside, but still being so concerned with very human, obviously out-of-place objects. Getting so used to them that they bring no joy, despite it all being a mircale. Expectation comes from your past experiences, and the human experience wants to nullify all good and all bad into a baseline of 'ok'. Eventually, if you're not careful, you're just left with the baggage without any of the miracle. I know the video isn't likely saying any of that, but it all came to my mind while watching it.

Finally! KZbin making moves to push great content in the recommended content tab.
