If you do it in a sunny day in the park, it's not gonna work. But if you do it in a dark room it can be a really cool experience. I'm aware of the problem, but there's not much I can do. It was shot for cinematic screening and it would work perfect at the cinema. Internet is problematic, especially for a film like this. Everyone watches on different screens and in different environments. Fortunately for most people it works just okay. Thanks for watching anyway! It really depends on where and how you watch it.
