Over the past few weeks I’ve been building an experimental video essay exploring themes like algorithmic control, synthetic culture, information overload, curated reality, and identity in the social media era.

A lot of the inspiration came from the AI Colonel speech in Metal Gear Solid 2, but the project evolved into something much broader and more atmospheric than a game analysis.

I handled the editing, writing, sound design, music direction, visuals, pacing, and overall structure myself. I was aiming for something that felt closer to a short experimental film than traditional commentary.

Would genuinely appreciate feedback from other filmmakers/editors on:

• pacing
• atmosphere
• visual cohesion
• narration structure
• whether the themes land effectively
