archived-videos Suicide suite - 360 Video

[Ardeus]

I wrote a sequence of 6 songs and because I was experimenting with 360 films I decided to use them as base for a film.

If you watch it with the youtube app on a tablet or smarphone the camera will turn as you move your device. If you watch it on a computer, you have to use the 4 arrows botton at the top left corner.

I think it also works as a normal 2D film (I prefer it that way). I'm still rendering a 360 3D version. I takes a long time to render 4k x 4k frames.

Do you think that this film helps to prevent suicide or the opposite? Or both? A film festival emailed me saying they were a bit reluctant to select the film because of that.

edit: Why the embedded youtube videos appear as white boxes on my pc?

Congratulations on completing this which must've been a huge amount of effort.

It's more 'experimental' than music vid.

Thanks. No, in fact everything was easy and quick: lyrics, music and video. I began writing the songs in June.

I did this very quickly because this is a very powerful subject and it's easy to get ideas. On the other hand, it's not a subject I wanted to be so close for too long.

Yeah, it's experimental because I wanted the 360 distortion to be visually interesting when you watch it "unfolded". It's a 360 film film set inside a spherical world
