The fact that the piece leans really heavily on metaphor and visual narrative to try and grapple with paradoxical feelings has aggressively changed that relationship. More than any other video I've made it's a loosed arrow: I set the trajectory but now I'm just an observer watching it fly.
Normally I'll sit here expanding on ideas and subjects from the video, explaining things that maybe we did a mediocre job of laying out or adding additional information that fell outside the scope, but that feels almost inappropriate in this situation.
I am a different kind of artist (a writer and editor) but the video spoke to me as well. Particularly as you put it, the "bespoke inefficiencies" of one's own process and how difficult it is to disentangle them without just starting everything over from scratch. Facing that now.
