:) Nice work. The colors were a little intense for my taste, but the video looks really good. I would experiment with the colors, maybe even scale back your color changes. Perhaps focus on variations on one or two colors instead of going the full gamut of the color spectrum.
 
Thanks Isaac... I can definitely feel you on the wide colour patlette used (I'm assuming your referring to Morning Meditation) because it was something I was a bit weary of to begin with. I just really wanted to play with the Hue and try to come up with something really unnatural. Like the movie Hero, I wanted to divide the video into 4 different colour schemes, although I'm not sure if that was effectively conveyed or not.
 
hey,

awesome work. The colors work for me. I like how you mess with the hues. It does give a unnatural feel, works well with the music. I notice a blur matte on some of the shots. How did you do that? Where the outer edges seem blur but the middle part is in focus? THe video is awesome btw, I bet it took a long long long time.... In the other video, the one with a kid, I notice the glass orb. Where did you buy that? I been looking around but I can't seem to find anyone who sells it. I need one thats a 2x bigger than the one in your video. great work.
 
You got some neat looking videos! The music wasn't bad either but the only part that botherd me was when the dude said frequency. It just felt out of place, maybe if it was soft females voice or something. Overall it was cool, neat visuals.

I'm happy you enjoyed it. The blur matte was created using two layers, blurring the top layer with the 'Out of Focus' plugin from frischluft.com and then using a feathered mask to just bleed the edges. About the glass Orb, in Toronto we have a store called The Green Earth or something like that.. you should be able to get a crystal or glass ball at any gift shop that sells crystal figures and other quaint things. Just look for small shops like these in major malls. Hope that helps a bit. Good luck.
 
I think this is great for the genre I think it really works, Im sure the artist is pleased with the results. It kind of reminded me of music from the anime series "Ghost In The Shell" I liked the partical effects too. Amazing that was a glass orb. Nice work!
