Peripheral Visionaries notes=

synopsis =
In this sequel to We Have Everything, Jennifer finds herself given a second chance to live a fulfilling life. A producer discovers her one night singing in a karaoke bar and gives her the glamorous life she had previously only dreamed of. In the end, she makes the same mistakes as in her previous less than privileged life, having learned nothing at all despite her creator's efforts. Will she ever learn?

process =
The band asked me to create a second animated music video and I suggested making a sequel to We Have Everything off the same album. Peripheral Visionaries picks up where we left off, our main character is stranded on the side of the highway, her bus having broken down. This narrative interprets Peripheral Visionaries as a confession to the attraction of the unholy and a belonging to an ambiguous (nonetheless determined) rebellion against virtue. Our main character was to give in to her superficial ambitions but not without a cost. The line "We a sea, tears from the eyes of god." repeated over and over, is taken as a foregone conclusion.
