Theme: ‘TALLICAAAAAAAAAAA

Well, what sort of witchcraft is this new footage? As those who have seen the collections video, recently I got The Plague Dogs on DVD. It was originally set to make it’s debut in the completed Madokara Mieru (being in the “winter” segment), but that’s not finished yet. Well, it gets it’s debut in an exclusive beta.

This is a very experimental video. It’s my first where just about every clip has a filter, I used text and voices more than I ususally do, stuff like that. Plus, the combination was perhaps among the most challenging I’ve ever used (TPD, a movie that is pretty much dead and depressing the entire way through, being done with a pre-Black-Album song).

Ok, I went through a lot of thought with this video so read it well. This song is most likely about something along the lines of “One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest”. A Sanitarium is a hospital for chronic conditions, such as mental illnesses. Snitter and Rowf may not be insane, but their situation I found had certian parallels to the book and song. For one thing, it’s a bitch to real life (as well as to my psychology course. Fuck, how do people honestly support the bullshit that is the mental health field?). I don’t wear any rose-coloured glasses, and these all point to the same conclusion. Rejection, death, alienation for no fucking good reason, backstabbing, having it be a crime to be yourself (whether you’re an animal or just a little bit weird) and being “fixed” until there is nothing “you” left (which leads to bad things, namely supression and rage), GAH! Ya, it’s a little hard to explain, but my mind is weird. I know many therapists and councellors want to lock me up for it :3.

To explain farther, the filter was used for good reason. Hospitals are places that are very clean (trust me, I’ve seen the cleaning schedules for even in my college’s clinic), but it’s just to hide the dirt on it’s soul (*coughbrownfilter*). The Sanatarium in the video represents two parties: the research facility and the identical brutal nature of reality (the Todd, which represents that dark, emotionless, kill-or-be-killed attitude). Snitter and Rowf escape the facility, but they’re met with a crueler reality. Their only means of refuge is an island Snitter sees, though they never reach it.
