Comment on The Netflix Logo with Yarn was a lie

Comments

I didn't see the original, so I'm not really emotionally invested in the thing, but it's a good learning opportunity.

IMO it's deceiving and dishonest to fake an elaborative creative process and tell the viewers it's something that it isn't.

On the other hand it's also a good reminder that only because a puppy eyed artsie guy makes a 7 minute documentary-style video that looks completely honest and believable, it doesn't automatically make it honest and true.

It was time I learned that, I added the "arts behind the scenes" category videos to the fake prank videos, pickup videos, political commentary, and product reviews. Everyone lies.
