Whoever directed that video needs to go back to film school.

I understand that you're trying to "highlight the product", but causing nausea in your customer isn't the best way to do that.




I thought, "Oh, that's kind of interesting" when it first tracked the pencil and I thought it was done. Nope. It followed for the rest of the video. I started feeling nauseous, and I don't even get car sick.


Not sure why this is downvoted, he's completely right. Too many start up product videos nowadays are directed with shots all over the place. I hate it when I see it in movie trailers, but they can at least explain themselves as not wanting to show you too much of the movie. No excuse in a product video that doesn't need to rush itself.


Wow, that was even more nauseating than the Blair Witch Project or Cloverfield.


I've been in every kind of car, on large boats, small boats, in helicopters, in 2-seater planes and every other type of plane and never once I have ever gotten motion-sickness.

Watching that 72 second video right after lunch made me feel queasy. And I still have no idea what the product does other than draw things on a table.


The difference between 'motion sickness' (which I don't suffer from) and 'simulation sickness'[1] (which I do).

OT, but interesting that you get nauseas in the video, but not in real life.

Do you also by any chance get nauseas if you played First Person Shooter games? I know a coupe of people that do, even tho they don't in real life vehicles.

I don't get nauseas watching videos/playing games, but i do get nauseas on real life vehicles.


Yeah I had to stop watching that video. The shaking about effect was horrible. Can't understand why anyone would have thought that was a good idea.


I didn't get that feeling, but the "Hm... I wonder if anyone is getting nauseous watching this" thought did cross my mind.


Also felt nausea from watching the video... Was really bad idea.


I thought it was cute.


Cute but nauseating.


Like when you eat too many kittens, hate that.
