I'm surprised by how well embracing mechanical movements, text, people breaking the fourth wall etc. works here, and how much it contributes to the overall effect. It's a beguiling mysterious and atmospheric vid (the swirling landscapes at 1:18-1:34 are especially nice to watch and I particularly like the burn effect at 1:51 and the blue flashes at 2:01-2) and hypnotic, too: I was surprised each time I watched it that it's not under two minutes long.

You know fanfiction that is written in the second person? "You walk here, you do this"? I had that in mind when making this vid, because I had to tell a story that people would understand.

Thanks for letting me know what worked for you! I added the burn effect, but the flashes are in the source itself. And that's the ultimate compliment that it pulled you in so much you lost track of time! Thank you!
