Different than the other entries. The reverted voice turns this simple haiku into something creepy. Bizarre coloration of the second shot also adds to this. My biggest complaint is the overdose of \"in-a-can\" special effects.

I don\'t know where these shots are from, but they fit well with the music and create a nice style throughout. The CGs are boring, and such a slow, dramatic feel is much more suited to a dramatic voice over. The video kept my attention, but kind of disappointed in the end with not much of a message.

Woah, this was pretty freaky, but also a very beautiful monologue. I dont understand why the audio is composed backwards, but it does make it very creepy. I find this a very cool and beautiful experimental short. Hoping to see more entries into ffs from Samsarai.

Very eerie but no clear point. I like the old footage though, gives a strange, zombie feel. 3/5

This was creepy. I watched this at 1:54 in the morning, home alone. Thanks a lot, jerks. I dug it, but the footage looked really stock.

One of the better ones this week. Did you just watch the premiere of \"LOST\" and decide that you wanted to run the words backwards like Walt? :) Cool into as well, I\'d really like to know how you did your opening titles. Also, was this something you filmed or stock footage? I\'d definitely like to know more.

Whoa, cool logo. A little bit much for a 17 second video. But, still cool credits. This video was.. weird. Definitly experinemtnal. I didn\'t really like the reverse talk.. I thought it would\'ve been more interesting if it were just said in a different language. I also didn\'t liek the transition at the end. But, cool use of stock footage.

Nicely done, but lay off the transitions, the particle effect at the begining and the red burn at the end, didn\'t seem to fit.

Interesting, but I\'m afraid it just doesn\'t make it to the top of the pile

I enjoyed this one quite a bit, it\'s got a very odd, creepy feeling to it. Was that fade out at the end supposed to be like a film burn? Curious as it how you did that effect. I assume it was just some kind of gradient transition ... \"foretell the coming of our departure\" is a fun little phrase.

Hmm. Very interesting. I\'d ditch the Samsarai intro and the red transition at the end but I liked this a lot. Where did you get the footage? or rendering in the 2nd shot?

I was really confused. What happened. Half the video was your intro to the video.
