spiracle | alien stage

SPOILER WARNING: UP TO DATE WITH WIEGE. no fun quote this time because this is one of the most personally meaningful works i've created in a long time. this took me almost three months of nonstop work. i started it as a small character study, but then i lost my cat - my best friend of 18 years earlier this year. i threw myself into working on this and eventually found it ran out of my control and morphed into a musing on the nature of grief; letting go of someone you can't save, or something that you wanted desperately but was never meant to be in this universe. i hope that comes across and speaks to someone out there. on a more lighthearted funny note - at one point it was briefly consumed by a glitch so bizarre that capcut had to push a new patch specifically to fix my problem. i couldn't see the screen because it was being distorted by what i called "the dimension", a corrupted pixel vortex you could see nothing behind. i just edited blind for a few weeks because cmon - you think that'll stop me? i used wlmm for almost a decade. i've had worse. so that will be the legacy of this video forever behind the scenes, the free bugtester. LOL. enjoy -alex :] p.s: go check out alien stage please i love it https://youtube.com/@VIVINOS?si=f55bPE4-X_dgDc2F
