Secondly, you did not say what you were talking about, you said it was simple yet told a story, so I assumed you were not talking about the story.

It's not my view, it's the way it is. Not everything is an opinion.
Also, since you brought up the story, story wise there was more going on than in most of her videos as well and I doubt many people really understood it 100%. Most of Ayumi's videos don't have a story or only something VERY loose and up for so much interpretation we cannot even know if there was supposed to be a story to begin with(like Mirrorcle World, I could think of a million interpretations but in the end I think it's nothing more than Ayumi being chased around(by fame, fans, consciousness, reality, something completely random, make your pick, all fit with the video) and showcasing some of Paris).

I can't see how anyone could call BALLAD not simple compared to the rest of Ayumi's videos, on the visual, story, filming and technical levels there is more going on than in the majority of her videos. There is no way in which it is really simple and you have yet to bring up an aspect in which it supposedly is.
Uhm first of all check your own sentences.

Spoiler:
IN MY OWN OPINION: v


Simple: How the pv flows, it doesn't switch to a lot of different scenes what makes it easy for me to follow (unlike Mirrorcle World for example). NOT talking about green screens, cell shading, cables, explosives or whatever at all.
Story: How easy the story is to follow, and also how the lyrics are so well fit into the PV.

I just cannot imagine how you managed to render that comment as being oriented about green screens and such... And with that last sentence I was talking about how you 'judge BALLAD's pv on how the filming proces must have been (green screens, CGI)'. I do not have a single insight in that, and I do not think that any person who (like me) doesn't know about the filming processes concerning ayu's pv's can call her pv's simple. I haven't said that the process of filming BALLAD was easy, you make it seem like I did.

And I don't get your last sentence either? You say that 'you can't see how anyone could call BALLAD not simple compared to the rest of ayumi's videos' and then you say 'There is no way in which it is really simple'. <- maybe it's just me but I don't get it.
