“Awakening in Motion: Starry Venus and the Cinema of Feeling”
There are music videos that entertain, and then there are music videos that attempt to rewire the way you see yourself in the world. Starry Venus’ Do You Feel It belongs decisively to the latter camp a lush, spiritual transmission wrapped in cinematic atmosphere, one part ritual, one part dream.
Variations of Venus emerge like living archetypes, each Goddess a vessel of memory and elemental power, unlocking one another’s freedom through gesture, light, and rhythm. Is this mythology or mirror? A fantasy, or a call to remember something already written in our bones?
The Sedona-based director with a resume spanning performance art, music, film, and visual alchemy has never been afraid of the bold stroke.
Visually, the video is tranquil yet charged, blending earthy textures with a celestial calm. Fade effects act like breaths between worlds, while costumes and settings ground the Goddesses in timeless landscapes a cave, an emerald glow, a threshold between inner and outer realms. Editing maintains a hypnotic rhythm, pulling the viewer into something that feels at once ancient and futuristic.
That said, the video is not without imperfections. At times, the cinematography and lighting stumble where the concept soars shots occasionally lack the polish to match the grandeur of the vision. Yet even these rough edges have a certain charm, like seeing a brushstroke in an otherwise smooth mural they remind us of the human hand behind the divine experiment.
As for the soundscape, Venus’ recent EP SOUL provides context: her music is an immersive braid of organic and digital, ethereal synthesizers embracing handpans and strings. Do You Feel It takes that same philosophy and transposes it into image. Just as her tracks weave layers of sound into emotional resonance, this video layers symbols, movements, and archetypes into a living canvas.
So, do you feel it? That is not just the song’s refrain but the dare Venus lays before her audience. To feel is to awaken, and to awaken is to remember. In the end, Do You Feel It is not about answers. It is about the transmission a reminder that liberation does not happen in isolation but in the spark of connection, Goddess to Goddess, self to self.
