Still loving it! I think the colors aestheticize the vid to a point where it's still about John the particular character but also about something/someone much broader. Just like John within the vid's a cypher, he functions as a variable that can stand in for larger questions of identity. And the colors create this Verfremdungseffekt (alienation effect) that totally pushes the viewer in to that direction.
Heading from the close up Johns through the affected by his environment to the affecting his surrounding in turn, it's addressing the question of how these Johns are created and how they create in turn, so to speak.
Loves herself anything John-centric :D Thank you for letting me see it through the stages (even as all I was saying was, I like :)!
