In general it seems that one thing rests upon another or at least in relationship to another. If you un-stack things and get down to the fundamental causes, wouldn’t symmetry breaking be there right at theDon Fosterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04814669413022486958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22973357.post-10254725342685153042017-05-24T17:12:45.421-04:002017-05-24T17:12:45.421-04:00This is great.

If I had to choose, this would be my favourite of the three "funded" videos- I like the drama in the music; the lyrics work on several levels of more-and-less-metapohrical; and the cool, collected "main character" of the video has a lot of style, especially in contrast with the great big, thumpy beats.<br /><br />I look forward to the return of the crappy Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08244518618543888679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22973357.post-7812477735049265842017-05-19T01:26:51.794-04:002017-05-19T01:26:51.794-04:00DocG,

It might be invisible for the same reason that the contents of a black hole are invisible.

Quite the opposite of the nowadays interpretation of virtuality as a mirage and a ghost.

One thing though, since you are the second person saying this - In the "Catching Light" video it's not me sitting at the desk, it's Timo. (Yeah, he's got long hair.)

Voice is very good, composition and orchestration are good. "I'm not a toy" is (IMHO) best for both music and lyrics. "Schrodinger's cat" is the most interesting video. But my favorite part is from "Capturing Light", where you're sitting at a desk working.

Realistically we're talking $9k per video - you can check elsewhere that this a totally normal amount for a high quality video production (length doesn't matter all that much) just that we also have to do the audio (none of that money actually goes Sabine Hossenfelderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06151209308084588985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22973357.post-24436669292338244152017-05-16T19:56:22.815-04:002017-05-16T19:56:22.815-04:00(Sorry, I posted on wrong entry originally.)
