Better, I think, to line up the shot from a distance and use a longish zoom to achieve more or less the same effect without the distracting black blob in the mirror. Other than that quibble, extremely well put together. I see Reznor is becoming a popular-ish track to back with, though, since that’s about the fourth video I’ve seen with something from Ghosts in the backing.

Love the choice to go with the visual profile shot in the concluding layer in the Weiner vid. Somehow feels nearly voyeuristic and tissue paper delicate all at once — both in a healthy way — to see him laid bare, watched from an off angle. Fits seamlessly with his language/POV, which makes it all dovetail. A visual surprise for me, esp. given that most previous shots were a) taken over his shoulder as he worked or b) straight on as the audience was invited to ‘enter’ his ‘studio of the mind’ in a more direct manner. Seeing him from the side, however, changes the artist/audience dynamic in just the right way as the piece comes to a close.
