Mui - "MUI is an object oriented system to create and maintain graphical user interfaces. Programmers save a great amount of work and benefit from MUI's powerful object collection, users get the possibility to customize nearly every pixel of an applications look according to their personal taste. During the last years, MUI has established itself as a standard for graphical user interfaces on the Amiga. Since its first release in 1993, lots of experienced programmers have contributed to the success by releasing hundreds of MUI based applications."

Ok then.....I was just talking about the videos

The first one was fun, cute, and quirky. I lol'd at parts.

The second one was disturbing, as you intended.

lol - do you want a discussion of technique and composition???

I am NO camera expert, so these are amateur impressions:

It was interesting to me that the camera work on the first, long piece was much smoother and more polished. More 'surface pretty' which matched the intended mocking of celebrity model videos.

The second piece was cut jerkier and rougher, especially the set piece in the graveyard at the beginning. I dont know if that was intended to be a nod to the Blair Witch Project style, or if it was intended to echo the distraught emotions of a suicide, or if it was simply a coincidence due to different camera operator. In any event, I thought it was a nice touch.

Going backwards in time was an interesting technique. It negates any storytelling potential of the piece, but it contributed to the ambiance of horror.
