Pendulum Pitch

Fasten your seatbelts

the vision i have for this is based around a group of people sitting around listerning to the song and bobbing but in lots of different locations.
Like were the hell is Matt but around local landmarks. Also to have some cool effects during the slow bit and just be based around this group of friends. listening to the music.

Locations could be anywhere in town in the woods the streets in houses on the bus on the train etc.

Unfortunatly the song is 9 minutes long but it can easily be cut below 4 minites

Feedback to pitch

I pitched me idea of red mist-new york jazz cafe

after pitching my idea most people were concerned with the location could you be able to use the location and use the crowd were am I going to get them and what i'm going to be able to do with the footage as it apparently had to lip sync live footage.

what i may do to improve my final idea is to have a re-think of all my idea and then make my final chose. I might as this is the best idea I've got for this song i might chose another song to focus on as this one will be a big ask from me

Red Hot Chilli Peppers- Otherside

This is a very well made video has alot of meaning and imagrey. liek the fli is using telephone wires to paly bass and the drummer is yoursing a clock as the drums.

its like a cross me Tim Burton, Random gutiaring with anything youc an find.

Wake Up -Suicide Silence

This is the Offical video of Wake Up by Suicide Silence.

I really like this video beacuse its thrown as many trippy and strage effects. this gives it a destictive tyoe of video working with diffrent angles to get more out of the effects.

Pitch for Party of Kings

Let Me Doctor it
the idea I had for this video idea is a variasion of the video Wake up by Suicide Silence
to have lots of layed effect and wired and random colours images (like a Drug trip to say it in a few words) Also maybe have a wired twist near the end and during the breakdown (like a come down from being Intoxicated)

Pitch for Red Mist

http://www.myspace.com/theredmist

for Red Mist i have two ideas for two of there songs

New York Jazz Cafea- I had the idea of using a cross between black &whaite and colour.
for the veruses as there very jazzy and want to ahve it set like a 50/60s jazz cafe but when the chours kicks in it chnages to colour and have lots of people in the venue jumping up and down enjoying it and so on through the video but have alot of refrences to the 50s and 60s jazz culture. There is a few possible locations that i need to conform but there is a pub that the band usually plays in and also the junction if there is a good enough cafe/bar.

Let Me Run- A Giant Red Cloud and have the band palying ontop on it but cut also to a samller red cloud running through cambridge trying to find the bigger red cloud flys past people also maybe bash through a few people myabe hit soemthing and jsut explode them come back together and cary on till it reachs the cloud.

Pitch for God Sacks Man

http://www.myspace.com/godsacksman

Again i have veriasion of the idea but the main idea is to ahve them palying at a party or a gig and also to show the fans more and see them enjyoing it so have some 1st person view/3rd person shots of them enjoying the band.

my other variasion is having the band trying to get a girl at a party to notice them but she is not intrested in any of them aprt from maybe one of them and they get up on stage to try win her oever by shwoing that there in band.

so this is like Bring Me the Horizons-Chelsea Smile Video meets Blink-182 - Always video

Pitch for Eyes of a tratior

http://www.myspace.com/theeyesofatraitor

My pitch is for the for either the song Misconception and Under Siege by the Band Eyes of A Traitor.

for both of them im hping to use Live performance footage beacuse it will give show a good performance and you can get good shots from crowd interaction and live stunts if they are peformed.

but the diffrence in the two is the other footage i wish to shot.

In Misconceptions I wish to green screen the band and get some graffics I will design based on the Gears of War2 title screen.

this Idea is besed around the music video Implar by Winds Of Pluage


For Under Siege the staged performance idea was to have the band playing in a room and have fans trying to get in (under siege) and it cuts from live perforamnce and them also show shots through the key hole on the other side of the door showing people are watching them and having the doors shake and show signs of people trying to get in. For the last verus or chorus the fans get in and jsut go nuts enjoying the music.

23rd september 09 production progress

so far in my music video project I have looked at lots of different types of music video and still have got a lot more to look at. I've started looking at music to use in my music video and I have 4 bands that i could possibly do. 3 are bands that all are willing to feature in the video but they need either recordings of there song or better recording of there songs. so i need to contact all the bands and confirm which will be able to have a good recording by filming or which won't be able to feature in this project. I also had ideas for my music video but i haven't posted a blog about it yet as its in its rough stages but need to get around to posting a blog about it.

Pink Floyd-Another Brick in the Wall

This is a very good video it based on the lyric of the song which is an easy way to think of an idea for making a video this is just a great song and a good example

the video show how some teachers use to treat children with no respect and that they were all bags of meat who they shout information at them while they write it down.

The Universal by Blur

This is a classic song and the video is a great example of references to other media as this video has a lot of clockwork orange references with the lead singer having mascara on one eye and the orange images that pop up during the video.

Korn Freak on a Leash

This is a very interesting video it crosses through cartoon to live action. it has the band feature in the song but theirs a side 'story' with the bullet traveling going through everything till it get to the band.
it uses a interesting lay out and graphic effects.

the cartoon is drawn by the Todd McFarlane the creater of Spawn

My Hero Foo Fighters

This is Foo Fighters song my hero
i think this video is well made as it took pretty much what looks like one shot with a few cuts at the beginning but whats great is that the band keeps appearing playing in the different rooms this is clever and original

I really like this idea of using an album as a part of a story it gives more depth to the music. As this anime is muted this music still fits in with the music very well. there is a lot of contrast in the album with the mood the anime portraise and the music is able to change and fit the mood.

The Impaler by Wings Of Plague

This video is called The Impaler by Wings Of Plague from the Desamate the Weak album

This first video shows the making of this music video (be warned it contains some what stong language)




Now this is the finished product





I like this video because is has refrences to a completly diffrent genre to there own the opening 1:30 minutes the scene is set more like a gangsta video with loats of drink beatiful women sournding the singer fast cuts also the $100 notes falling from the celing.
My favorite part is during the breakdown when the scene changes to graphics of the album cover and the band is palying within. I like this idea of using still graphics that relate to teh abnd and having them palying around it gives it a dark felling. teh song is very brutal and is something only a minority enjoy but i think the video is well amde and the making of it give you an idea of technices and styles to make music vidoes
