It can be sweet and cold @ the same time IMO.
lonely and romanticism can be in the same familly no?
eheheh

yes a close cousin of my personal favourite - the euphoric melancholic

Hi,

There are some nice elements but I think it needs more work. My comments:

There is no obvious relationship between the edit and the audio, and I am not clear about what I am looking at; What is the idea of the piece? Id also say the grade is too flat for an underwater scene and you should animate the plants to help support the movement.

Its interesting but feels unfinished

thanks for watching

i agree about the slightly 'unfinishedness' of it the plants are animated but in retrospect - yes its not noticeable at all
im definitely going to have another look at the comps and the grading - do you mean make it more vivid?

as for being not clear about what you are looking at ill leave you to it huhu

[deflix]

Yes I would go for a more crushed look, which equates to vivid I guess - I assume you want to have a strong contrast between the gloom and the sparkly caustics... Higher saturation will help here too. (I attached a ref because language is sooo subjective) I would definitely add aome volumetrics here especially with that grate thing on the surface...

Analogue Goodness

[squintnic]

yes Thats kind of what i was *trying* for.... i ended up masking out half of the caustics with the lighting pass to try and get it more murky as per client request.
i could redo some better volumetric passes to overlay

thanks for the proper feedback
