Version 1 and Version 2

 

There's a lot that goes into making a video and then there's a huge mystery to me around what will make a good video, an interesting video, and the illusive viral video. Too often the search for a viral video gets in the way of creating a good video while the interesting part seems to be very subjective.

I have seen too much of the artist ventures or avenues artist take that appear to be nothing more than shock and awe. The art world and the world's perspective of it has had a decline in talent, and skill, and the idea of objective good. 

I'm not expert and there are lots of more popular opinions that seem to be the common idea but I wonder if we are selling our culture short when we celebrate paint splatter and a huge rock as the peak of art and what showcases talent. I hope we can witness a resurgence of art in lots of different areas that requires effort to gain the skills and time to perfect the craftsmanship and art that communicates what is the best in our society. 

That being said the above video was the 'redo' from the below video and for some reason the first version has the fraction the attention the above video has. It makes me wonder...
