Uh... I thought that fan made music videos always sucked, but you have changed my mind. That blew me away. I now feel like I must write a number one hit, and you have to do the video.
I think a large reason why this music video works is that it's one long shot, and that the motion of the paper, while natural, is mostly constant in speed and variation. It doesn't feel nearly as hastily put together as the author says it was. It'd be charming no matter what, but the actual execution here is what makes this awesome. good job, folk/s.
@genevishgraphics Semaphore is a form of communication that uses two flags, one held in each hand. Holding the flags at different positions signifies different letters.
Your artwork reminds me a lot of Dan Paladin. Also, I would love to see this digitized, I feel like some of the words were missed and the cameras a bit too close and I REALLY wanna see all the pictures the best I can :(
@Nap712 maybe one of these days I will digitize it. I did it in about an hour, at 3 am, using my macbook's internal camera, so you know, it's the best i could've done :)
@uselesstomatoQ ... Awesome illustrations for a great song! I love the camera movements (it adds a kind of additional vitality to it), so I'm not sure about digitising it. If you do re-shoot maybe just recompose some shots, get the focus and lighting tweaked a bit. I still love it as it is, too! :DDD Thank you for sharing!
Nice work, my friend. Keep your spirit up!

It´s great music, allthough it sometimes remind me of bad collage popbands...ot something like that.
But it´s a lot like for xample 10 cc which was a great band.

Something very appealing about the way this was done. You'd think it would seem cheap, but it looks artistic instead.

@CooldudeXXL No, not this time. They're making a return to adult-oriented music (which sounds way dirtier than it really is).
