Digital Wonderland Playlist #2

eerietomAfter the success of my first Digital Wonderland video, I decided to make another. I spent quite a bit of time looking for just the right footage; the imagery in the second video was far more varied than in the first. Here's an abridged version:
Note: please excuse the image quality: the video was exported at a low resolution since it was meant to be viewed on a phone.
And here’s the playlist. The asterisks indicates artists whose music was also featured in the first video.
For this video, I added a two minute countdown at the beginning, to give myself time to get the headset on comfortably and adjust the volume. After sixty seconds, a male voice announces in Japanese, ザ・スフィアへようこそ。お客様の遠足はまもなく始まります。座って、くつろいで、お楽しみ下さい。 (“Welcome to The Sphere. Your trip will begin shortly. Please sit back, relax, and enjoy.”) I only chose to call the experience The Sphere to take advantage of Perfume’s thumping song “Enter The Sphere”, which finishes the countdown before the actual video begins.
Success! The same wondrous, utopian feel as before, the same noticing of the details in the music. But as much as I enjoy these vids, it would be next to impossible to create a third in the same way. It was hard enough finding 90 minutes of suitable footage for the second video, even with my own contributions (excerpts of which can be seen here). If I were to create any more videos, I would have to create all the footage myself. This is not necessarily an issue, though it would be a lot of work.
