Discussions from the concrit post* made me keen to try new things, so this is me trying a New Thing. Sourcing from Tarkovsky's Andrei Rublev gave rise to B&W, a horse and more than just your average serving of pretentiousness. So it goes.
The main point of trying this vid is to stop fixating on linear narratives and just let the feel of the visuals dictate the flow of the story, without necessarily worrying where events fall on the timeline. It was an interesting process, particularly during the blind beta 1 stage where the beta wasn't guided in any way toward their interpretation. The fact is that the narrative and themes were intentionally left more open to interpretation than my usual vids. Bring your own meta… or not. I'm going to be postmodern and say that vidder intention probably doesn't take precedence over audience interpretation. Well, at least in regards to this vid. ;)
