I'd say it's meant to be sad. On a literal sense, Icarus's wife (or husband, in my case) is waiting for his return, not knowing he's plunged into the sea and drowned and it turns into a spiral of self-doubt that never finds a resolution. We never find out if the narrator discovers that he's drowned or if she (he) goes on assuming that he left because he wasn't in love.
I guess in retrospect, that's why I included footage of the kite crashing repeatedly (and legitimately broken in one scene) instead of flying.
I think this piece has less to do with losing love and more to do with how that lost love causes us to lose faith in ourselves.

Man, I sound so angsty. Haha.

My rooftop, my city. Haha.

Thanks though. :)

Thanks :)

Yeah, the biggest complaint I got at my crit was that it was too much middle ground and background stuff but no foreground/close up shots. I didn't want to do a whole lot with slow-mo/special effects because there were certain parameters for the project that I didn't even follow to begin with, haha.
We'll see where my work takes me next though.
Thank you for the comment. :)

i'll look forward to your next piece, you're doing great work.

Lol, your opinion and criticism are respected and appreciated. Thank you.

No Offense "Solse Else" but if you have problems with a video you should think about doing constructive criticism instead of dishing out how "pretty stupid and pointless" something is.

The good thing about creating a piece of art is that it is completely subjective and many people with enjoy it, some will hate it, etc etc..However instead of telling someone that those were "2 minutes of your life that i'll never get back" you should maybe say what worked, what didn't work, and how the piece can be improved.

That's all I have to say.
