INITIAL reaction: Does anyone else feel like Frank Ocean's taking the whole indie/being different thing a bit too far in this video? I understand the need to be original, but some of the aspects of this video just seem excessively "weird" to the point that the story's more perplexing than contemplative.

I love Nabil's work and Ocean's lyrics, but this video just isn't what I hoped especially after Novacane. Not to mention very similar visual effects to Novacane like the fading.
nabil elderkin 5 months ago

werrrd! i respect your opinion. but dont know about the fading comment? not to much logic to the statement.. sorry to perplex u also.. sometimes people make thing to experiment with new things! i know i do.. :) all the best
Sylvester N 5 months ago

Oh, what i was referring to is how I noticed several similar elements to Novacane. Specifically, the fading in and out of scenes, and the transparent scenes to tell a back story of some sort that includes a female character. (1:25 in Novacane and 3:05 in this video for example of the fading and color effects I mentioned).

But yeah, overall this is a beautiful video. I've followed your work on here for 4 years now, and don't doubt your creativity one bit. I just thought I'd share some thoughts on how this video gave me very similar feelings/reactions to the last Ocean piece you did.
nabil elderkin 5 months ago

;) all good.. thanks bro!
Jay Kevin Composta 5 months ago

How do you achieved the effect at 0:22??? Although...nice piece!!! Kudos!!!
nabil elderkin 5 months ago

i think it is just the negative image if that is what u are referring to ... invert the image
Jay Kevin Composta 5 months ago

Yes!!! But also the transition effect on 0:18!!! Did you use photoshop or a plug in???

Andrew Čekauskas 1 week ago

one of the best tunes out there really. video very very poor. visually, colour wise, totally irrelevant to the song, weird, not artistic or original, would not watch it again, lame angles and looks very unprofessional. Im sure was pricy as well. car explosion and all. Lots of pop effects tried to copy MTV vids. Now imagine if the song was different. some native indian tune. lol wud be veeeryyy interesting :D Looks crappppppppp. cmon guys home made vids on vimeo are better and u all know it. no offense to anyone but honestly. was gonna post it on my facebook wall when i saw theres a video for this song but forget it. not worth it. would just ruin my friends opinion on song cuz thats how human brain work
