This is not "published" yet so it's not on Youtube, I wanted to get feedback before it went live.

This is a Google Drive link.

I had no luck downloaded the preliminary version so I'm glad to see the final product. The instantly wilting flowers was my favorite, but the whole video was great.

That was fun!

I especially liked the silly hospital workers. So so simple yet hysterically funny.

It can't be shown in Germany because the blankety-blank collection agency for royalties on audio recordings (Gema) hasn't reached agreement with SME. The video MIGHT contain music from SME so can't be shown in Germany. The Gema does nothing for small artists and performing venues except block and harass them.

Aw, man I hated being in Germany and that GEMA bull crap was a huge part of why.

Well, after 40 years here I can't credibly say I hate being in Germany, but Gema is a bad joke. Once I performed at a small café that rarely has music. Due to a snowstorm there were very few people there (I mean even fewer than usual). Three days later the owner got a call from Gema demanding a playing list of all music performed. Since I write my own stuff, they couldn't nail the poor guy, I sent him a list of titles and wrote my name in capitals and added "non-Gema material" after every song. The owner was glad to get it, but was too intimidated to ever invite me back.

Some musicians have found out the hard way that if they register songs with Gema, they have to pay to perform their own stuff!! It only pays off for big names, everyone else can forget the glorious royalty-collecting agency. And now they block films on YouTube. It's hard to say too many nice things about the Gema.
