Good arrangement, with a surprise here and there. Great BVs!

I love the ‘sign’ at the end of the video - giving hope of a good outcome. The zooming in and out works well for creating movement and focus of the viewers attention. I find that working on a video to support my music often makes me think deeper about my lyrics and what I am trying to say, and sometimes makes me think of a different perspective. I hope you enjoyed this new perspective of your creative process.

Well done!

Hi Andrew, thanks so much for everything you wrote! Yes, health is sometimes a problem. Fortunately, not always.
But it was a coincidence that this theme also came back in my song. I wanted to create a story in which dilemmas, choices, selfishness, and so on, play a role in someone's head.
And love and hope.

I couldn't sing about that finger (at the end of the video), but I could try to get her out of that coma in the song.
In reality, I don't know anyone around me who is in a coma, thank God. I just like to follow my imagination.

As for the video: Funnily enough, it was ChatGPT that pointed me to that technique... But be glad you didn't see my frustrations and the swear words I uttered while trying to learn that program and that Kent Burns effect.
