Chobani’s Solarpunk Ad

This video was mostly a test to see if I could make video essays while cutting down on the time investment. Also I experimented with a bunch of different aspects in presentation. In retrospect, the results were mixed. I have a blog where I do more in-depth write-ups on political topics, I’d highly reccommend checking it out if you were left unsatisfied or curious by this. https://blog.tomat0.me/main/table-of-contents Thanks to @ArgentineVol and @west0nian for the voices.

    Speaking of aesthetic values and stylistic choices: you speak way to fast in your video making it hard to follow the finer points and also using what sounds like a whiny teenager voice for quoting other peoples text is a very questionable stylistic choice.

    As for the content of the video itself… I don’t really get the point of nitpicking on details when the very idea of what you are critiquing is to be broadly defined to serve as an entry portal for getting people to re-think their approach to (urban) lifestyle.

      The voices weren’t intentional, I just asked for friends to do the voices separately to distinguish from the main thread of the argument, not much I can do if their voices sound a certain way.

      I don’t see how it’s nitpicking when these are worlds meant to be imagined, and part of that involves thinking about/immersing oneself in the worlds. Re-thinking urban lifestyle involves thinking about these aspects.

      I have to warn you about the fact that the first time you post here is to post a link to your video :) Oh sorry, is that an issue? I didn’t see any rules on the community so I assumed it was fine.

      What I spent my time analyzing was the worlds themselves, which the imagination of is considered to have an inherently political character to it. Part of calling out those things involves getting an idea of how to identify instances of in art, which is what this video was about.

    Legit video, nice job! It was very educational for me, because I’m mostly new to the whole solarpunk aesthetic. I think your critique was fair and well-put.
