I'm looking for comments on this music video. 20MB, boobies.

TIA.

allright, old skool porn. Liked that footage. But the superimposition started getting on my nerves after a while.

So yea, some nice ideas, but it started getting on me nerves [img]redface.gif[/img]

so did the continuous flashy thingey. Do not let people with epilepsy watch this, man.

Oh and the son was pretty daft stuff.

First off I thought the music was decent although the frontman didn't really do it for me.

I sort of agree with Emjen...its nicely put together and does the job. The visuals fit the song. Gritty is the word.

However, one gets the feeling that you're straining to get the most out of limited footage (been there) and the repititon begins to get tiresome...almost as though you dont trust the band footage to stand on its own (now this could be ropey, it's hard to tell)

My opinion is absolutely coloured by the fact that I cut for a guy who is OBSSESSED with stock footage, and I have to put it into everything - nearly always against my better judgement.

At least yours was obscure looking...

thanks for the feedback. i'm generally agreed that there's too much frontman, not enough band, and not enough going on "to the beat".

anyways, i'll be picking it back up and refining it some more just as soon as my refurb powerbook turns up, in a couple of days hopefully.

Thought the song was pretty good.
Would have prefered more band footage to feel like
being 'at the gig' than all that crossfading stuff.

Shots of the lead didnt bother me.

Dont really see the relevance of most of that stock footage stuff in it.

cheers

Here's the latest cut. All the stock footage is gone, replaced by footage from their latest live gig.

What do you think of this one:

I thought that was MUCH better.
you can see the band, the gigs, etc - and
slick editing...

Yup its a lot better.

Theres just a couple of cuts that bugged me, nothing major a few frames too short on some of the more "subliminal" shots.

I think you could make it even tighter by experimenting with a few frames more/a few frames less throughout. Its almost there.
