I'd read your comment's here before watching and took the typography for what it was. Dude, just making the vid is the win! I was expecting lyrics over that gorgeous jumping shot at :42, but at the same time, I respect the decision to let that shot stand as is (it's such a good shot!) "Now I'm sunk" caught my attention because there's a very nice effect on the text and the same with "but somehow". I rewatched to pay more attention to any effects on the single word text. Initially, I registered those all as fade-ins but on the 2nd watch, I see that there are more complex effects. For me, the effects were more noticeable on the longer lyrics.
Undercurrent - I watched this one second. My initial feeling was that the single words felt random. Gorgeous music and images, but no real connection with the text until "Now I'm sunk". Now the words are beginning to connect into their own water-themed story, especially with the visual of the girl falling to her knees. The splash into the pool and "but somehow" and that big smile! I can't really articulate what the text story meant, but it all came together like poetry and made me feel hopeful.
Thank you for making and sharing both of these - amazing work!!
