That recent Eggman Moby video is a more extreme example. They seem a bit like proxy ads, creating a slick pleasant atmosphere without any specific context to preclude being grafted to a vodka brand or something. I'd say the main limiting factor as a short film and the main plus as an ad is the modely looking model loosely thrown into the mix. She feels like a special effect rather than a source of human interest.

Seeing the fashion model ruined it for me, it would have been more powerful if they had used "ordinary" people as part of the "process of discovery within the context of ordinary life". Regardless, nicely done. I guess I expected more of a Koyaanisqatsi kind of magic, but this isn’t quite it.

Beautiful cinematography and great sound track though. There’s definitely a nice concept here, just think think it hasn’t been realized to the full extent.. there’s not much substance to it.
