Little Shop of Horrors VB1, is the first of a series titled, Video Bouquets which are speed painting videos overlaid with complimentary images based on the video's content. All of the video components are overlaid with an original instrumental sound to complete and tie the video together. The three major components of these videos create a bouquet, something arranged intentionally made to be attractive to the eye.

Freedom of Religion Act VB3 is the third installment of Noel's Video Bouquet series. Based on the American Religious Freedom Act of 1994, which deemed Native Indigenous people's use of peyote in traditional religious ceremonies as lawful. The other plants in this piece include the Banisteriopsis caapi vine which ayahuasca is made from. Ayahausca is a drink used by shamans in the Peruvian Amazon and Brazil. Also in this painting is Egyptian blue lotuses and mandrake.

Ever Growing is an abstract work on a Florida Native Plant called the Crenulate Lead-Plant (Amorpha Crenulata). The video consists of countless pictures of the Lead Plant in different views put together to give the illusion of movement as well as to represent the growth of the plant. It is a visual representation of how endangered plants today can never fully bloom like it once has due to constant preservation and attacks of invasive species. Only time will tell if the once bountiful endangered species will bloom into the state they once were.
Wanting to document the process of creating incense for the first time, Noel filmed Creating Euphoria. The overhead angle provides the viewer with a voyeuristic view. While creating the incense it was very reminiscent of dirt which flowers and plants grow from.
Without Minnie Riperton and her debut album, Come To My Garden there would be no Come To My Garden Art Exhibition. Noel felt it was only right to show viewers the face of the woman who inspired this exhibition. Rest In Peace Minnie Riperton, she is survived by her daughter Maya Rudolph, son Marc Rudolph, and husband Richard Rudolph.
