Super cool to see the video of the picture a couple slides before. I love the way the smoke moves throughout the video. Great work!
I like the music used in the video. The exposure and focus also seem to be on point. I would love if we could add more light to better see the flow of the smoke.
This is fantastic. Great idea to show off the flow with a beautiful mix of colors. The shot is great and the video is mesmerizing
The flow is so clearly illustrated but it’s also an artistic video. I can see this in a gallery in NY somewhere wow!
I think this idea is awesome using a projector to light up the smoke. The video is very soothing and interesting with the music you chose.
Great demonstration of flow and use of lighting and music.
good job! this video is so mesmerizing, I can see it as a video installation projected in a gallery.
This video is beautiful to watch. The flow and colors are mesmerizing. The music is a wonderful touch to cut back and forth to different colors and flows that were captured.
A very beautiful video. I like the colors, the focus and frame are good! Visible flow is amazing.
The music synchs up really nicely. Why did you choose to pause the flow in the point you did? I really like the image ~ 1:35.
Really god job syncing the music and motion. Lot of hard work went into this video. Looks good
Absolutely gorgeous. So creative, so beautiful! The music was excellent. The colors and flow are so mesmerizing. Really really stellar. The flow is so clearly illustrated but it’s also an artistic video. I can see this in a gallery. Your friend Josh is really talented!
Great video, I like that fantastic video editing. Also, great fluid physics shown. OVerall great video, nothing I would change.
Very beautiful video, I love the color and flow, very satisfying to watch this video.
Really cool video and experiment. The music behind the video was well chosen to make the video more intriguing and ominous. The colors were really interesting and visually appealing. Overall, awesome video and well done!
Wow this is really cool, great job syncing the music and smoke. It’s really mesmerizing and peaceful. The hard lines where the smoke disappears is sometimes jarring but it also adds to the effect at other times. Overall, great job with the focus, framing and music.
I loved watching this video. Seeing all the different colors and the light streaks caused by the projector made this feel almost ethereal. Illuminating the smoke without illuminating the background brought out some really interesting shapes.
Great choice of music and color. Seems very flagrant and petite with the colors chosen.
Very well done, great use of color, and the choice of music creates an ethereal, relaxing atmosphere which I enjoy. Focus and exposure are good, and the subject is clearly visible. The lack of distracting background elements is a plus.
Very serene video. The focus is good, and the smoke plumes can be seen clearly. The colors and music are a very nice effect.
The colorful plumes are wonderful to watch, and the music plays in nicely.
Very interesting video. The music pairs nicely with the smoke. Great representation of the flow.
Beautiful colors! Knowing how the colors were made honestly blows my mind. I think the music goes really well with it, and the editing and reversal of some of these images makes it even better. Really great video!
This video is absolutely beautiful and meditative. The music is synced so well, too. Great work, wouldn’t change a thing about this.
Really nice video. The lighting was effective and the flow was well resolved.
Beautiful video; excellent showcase of flow. Very fitting choice of music. There was one part of the video where a pause occurred; I’m not sure it was necessary. Either add more pauses or take that one out.
I love this setup. Easy and it seems like you got great results. nice music.
I really like the different rainbows that form in the candle smoke. Is this a natural effect or something that you added in editing? Either way, excellent visualization of smoke. Very interesting overall!
really quite memorizing. Great effects and cinematography.
Really cool video! I loved the different colors projected onto the smoke, and all the different flows and angles in it. The music accompaniment was very well done.
The idea of using a projector to imbue the smoke with different colors is brilliant
Really interesting colors and flow, the music really adds to it as well.
This is a really peaceful video. The music flows well with the different colored smoke. It is very appealing to look at and the physics of the flow are very visible. Great video!
This is super cool, and the music is great. I love the changing colors and the focus is great. Did you think about slowing the video down just a little bit? I think it would help the viewer see the turbulent smoke just a bit better.
Very beautiful colors and lighting. I love how the music also adds to your video. The reflective lights are very majestic
Really cool video. What caused the different colors in the smoke? Was it different light, or editing in each shot?
