Really nice design and look, I like it. I however am not a fan of music videos. I think sometimes the videos are done by talented artists who outdo the talent of the music, and unfortunately the piece is judged by a subconscious dislike of the song. Also, music videos can get "boring" (Im so used to 30, 60 or 15sec masterpieces) I usually find myself scrubbing forward to get to the "good bits" or the twist in the story. Thats just my dislike for music videos though. Personally, I really wish you guys had saved this design and story for a short film instead. I think design, camera work, environment and character animation all work together as a style. Perhaps this might still be possible? Good stuff!

I think more than crazy camera moves, subtle drifts or pans in some of those earlier exteriors i was referencing would help lighten some of the holds, the character stuff is def really hard, the thought of it makes my head spin esp if you dont specialize in character stuff. that makes sense, you guys took on a very amibitous project for what im sure was very little $ a true testament to the passion and connection you made with the music as your interview suggests..

The part that lost me a little is a lot of the exteriors were locked off shots which held a beat longer at times than you would expect given the rhythm of the music which sort of had me waiting a few times to get from one point of the story to the next. beautiful look tho I experienced a similar disconnection, but it was really well designed.

I guess based on your feedback, we failed because the whole point of a music video is for the images to complement the music. In the future, how can we make it less clunky and more subtle? Hi Oddfew,

Thanks for you honest feedback. I guess based on your feedback, we failed because the whole point of a music video is for the images to complement the music. In the future, how can we make it less clunky and more subtle?
