Thanks guys! : D
You are correct. Most of what you saw was intentional. Originally, Evan just wanted to see if the little hexbug could
make it from my bedroom to the living room, then it turned into an escape from a vortex. We decided in order to
symbolize saving his life, the life savings seemed to be the best thing around. could he make it to the jar?
The whole bug part was guesswork. It isn't remote controlled, it just vibrates, and goes in random directions until
it hits something. In our case, it went around in circles a lot. We lucked out when it rode the rail to the end.
The stuff moving was to symbolize the peril behind him. I meant for it to be a much closer shot to the floor, but
I'm happy with what we have.
Overall message is not to give up on life even when it tries to knock you down, and even though we're all destined to die,
to enjoy life while we have it.
Even though it's about death, I think it's the happiest song I've ever written.
Thanks again fellas!
