Q: What exactly do you feel you half-assed with the Japan video?
A: well, it was lower production value on a moment-to-moment basis compared to the vines i had been doing in the previous months. the reason is simply because it takes time to do it. you're not going to get a video that's 10 minutes long that has the visual production value of, say, that one that goes "yes i like music" or "gonna figure out what everything means." so i was really doing the graphics much simpler. just dropping images around, etc etc. i was pretty sure the fans were going to be disappointed that it didn't have all the crazy colors all the time. but i had to get the thing done, because i was tired of everyone only knowing me for short 'pointless' stuff, and i needed to show that i was capable of making a longer and more coherent video
