Am I Awake?

[TheJeremywaterman]

1:19 and the prior spinning part is awesome!

[Parmenides320]

I don't know who you are or what you do but this is EXCELLENT. Amazing camera work and editing. If you're going into filmwork please let me know your name so that I may follow your career.

[rmeads]

Good Job

[OpiatedBliss]

album?

[csreech]

@OpiatedBliss it's from the EP "Indestructible Object"

[csreech]

A great video for a great song!

[Parmenides320]

EXCELLENT!!!!

[atomick66]

Hats off sir. You did a fantastic job!

[flyingoverafrica]

so damn good.

[p0eticd3ath]

5/5 btw :P pretty good :)

[p0eticd3ath]

what film editing software did you use?

[tubedorks]

Great vid. Squatch is right. We should not have told him to shut up that was rude. Or maybe that was just a dream?

[obsquatch]

This is rad. I'm gonna buy you a pizza as big as your house. Well, I was gonna buy you a pizza as big as your house until I heard that lil steve's pizza changed owners and is now crap. Fuck. Now I'm depressed. Maybe it's just a bad dream and when I wake up everything will be fine.  Am I awake?

[tubedorks]

@obsquatch Shut up!

[Doubi]

Wow! You can tell how much planning went into this production. Lots of really nice ideas here, and great execution too. As someone said below, a higher quality version would be nice, this vid deserves it!

[teppeiando]

Hey this is one of my favorite TMBG songs ever. Awesome video creation

[omahatmbgfan]

excellent video!

[chango9892]

DAMN THIS IS COOL AS HELL!!!!!!!!!!

[RandomDealer]

Very cool. The 360 of the room was nice. Did you just keep the tripod in one place then cut the different positions together?

Also, what did you shoot with?

Cool concept.

[TheDoodlibop]

Is there an HQ or HD version of this? I would love to see it.  Very good job!

[ALXXMaXX]

Explainaton: The singer realizes that his surroundings and even his body are different then he remembers, and then he starts questioning his state of consciousness.

[ALXXMaXX]

I think that this song is about lucid dreaming, or dreaming and then realizing that you're dreaming so you can do anything.

[OldSkoolBitches]

Nice work. What program did you use?

[hairless]

I use Adobe Premiere for all my video editing.

[perspeeks]

hmm, is that an 808 I hear? I should start listening to TMBG again...

[DazeWolf]

This video is fantastic! Awesome, awesome work.

[neroboy]

Great video great song!

More please.

[mas9999999999]

The song is about the brutal lifestyle doctors face when they enter residency.

[gornkyy]

According to TMBG the song is about a bad acid trip

[HeroOfHyla]

Great video. Excellent quality, very well done. It's not exactly what i envisioned when I first heard the song, but it is, of course, very open to interpretation.

[gravediger1]

ya my first interpritation of the song was what its like being on certain drugs

[gornkyy]

thats what its about

[tobyrat23]

Wow this video is awesome... why the heck does it have 4000 views when the "Am I awake - ROBOT DANCE" has over 12000!?!?!?!

[ardvarkd]

OH MY GOD, You are the best freaking music video maker! Favourited, 5 Stars, Its AWESOME

[D4RX1D3]

AMAZING work man- *faved*

[zaeryzenn]

0:33 top right screen, lololololololol

[freak4mma]

Freakin awesome video man. I hope you get featured.

[ukyop]

Me gusta esta cancion

[literatehyaena]

Usually I expect very little out of fan-made videos (I'm a curmudgeon by nature) but this is actually rather pleasing!

[funnymuffin]

I'm not going to lie, it was a little corny. But for the most part I loved it! It fit the song perfectly. Great job!

[Shintsu2]

This video deserves way more than 3,800 views!! Excellent job on the video and great song!

[daysylog]

I love to play this song in step mania. my favorite one :)

So I came to find more infos about, and saw this video.. I found the video art amazing! not too much fancy and matches perfectly with the music poem and style!

Loved it! congracts guys :)

[imadame]

That was amazing. Fan videos can be pretty bad sometimes, but yours completely amazed me! Great job! I hope John and John see it and like it.

[sHuFFLeZ]

great video

[Harettazetta]

Fav'd. This is pretty awesome for a fan-made video.

[Kirbster171]

Haha sick video. Totally ran into this song randomly on pandora radio and found your video. Really glad I did. Keep it up.

[zaeryzenn]

WOAH!!!

thats excactly what i did too!

[ewicn]

Wow I can't imagine how much editing went into this, awesome job!

[ToasteDash]

Pretty damn nice, if I may say so. Are you pleased with the whole project? Is there anything you'd reconsidder now after you've gotten some feedback?

[hairless]

Thank you for your kind words. All in all, I am pretty satisfied with what I created, considered I had little outside help/crew/equipment. If I did it again, I would have a crew to make some of the technical shots smoother (spin around living room, spinning and singing,etc). Also, if I could have made this with John & John, I would have been on cloud 9. I did send a copy to their offices. Thanks again.

[megen1996]

howd you send a copy to their office? i would like to know how to contact them ive found out their you tube account but thats about it how plz tell me i want them to perform some time in my state plz tell me how.

[GuanYuber]

That was pretty impressive. Usually indie music videos are pretty crappy, but I was really impressed with that one. The only part that looked like it needed a bit better editing was the circle around the room. Some transitions worked really well, but others were obvious.

[megen1996]

yes your face is well suited for this EXPERIMENTAL FILM but unfortunatly i can not imagine some one other than john linnell singing this song please DONT LETS START your face is nice but when it comes to this song i dont nessesaraly think hair less i think linnell when i listen to this song i feel like one of the many SLEEP WALKERS out thare (please notice my use of tmbg songs in this message)

[hairless]

Thanks for the face compliments. And I agree, Linnell really owns any song he sings. In a perfect world, I could have actually had him in the video. But unfortunately this was not so. Maybe I should have made a Linnell puppet? Or dubbed lips over a photo?

[DizzyCGA]

This is absolutely fantastic, your face fits the voice so well. Great fucking job, dude.

[KaineMeisei]

Simply amazing. I've been a long time TMBG fan and I gotta say, yours is probably the next fan made music vid I have ever seen for one of their songs. All I gotta say is I hope you do more.

Bravo good sir.

[hairless]

Thank you very much.

And you're right...I should do more.

[Vynnie]

Really cool! Fit the song great. :D

[tattguy927]

Excellent Video, very impressed...great song.

[hinderxx]

Great Song And GREAT VIDEO!

Keep it uP!

[dr179003]

nice job man, you obviously put alot of effort into it.

[Dunklekuh81]

Excellent video. The directing reminds me of Citizen Kane.

[Dunklekuh81]

Allow me to rephrase. I didn't mean that it looked like it, I meant that it was brilliant, comparing it to Citizen Kane.

[Mcbuben]

seriously good work on the video it looks awesome...i just think this song deserves a more abstract video...not in look but in meaning...i think you really captured the literal meaning of the song visually but im not sure what it is but there is definitely a deeper meaning. you have the apparent subject locked but not the deeper subject

[samwisegray]

This is fantastic. Wow.

[zoisites]

Indeed, good movie. But aren't we forgetting the song? It's BEAUTIFUL!!

[hairless]

Exactly...a music video is not worth it if the song is crap.

[pyromaniann]

very nice editing

but 2 things i don't like

1. the scene at 1:42 looks kinda weird for some reason, and

2. the scene where you walk across the room with diff clothes, the scenery is different at times. like the tv for example, the curtains, and some of the stuff on the floor

otherwise, very nie job. 5/5

[pyromaniann]

nice*

[hairless]

Thanks for the kind words, and honest critique.

I also am bothered by those two parts, for the fact that I wasn't able to get exactly what I imagined. Details such as TVs and moving socks are...Oh, well, that's the way it goes sometimes.

[pyromaniann]

i really love the vid though, really do

i've shared it with at least 15 of my friends

people don't appreciate good editing anymore

is that you in the video?

[hairless]

Yep, that's me. Shot the whole thing at my old apartment and my old workplace.

[pyromaniann]

wow, i'm really impressed man

did you do the whole thing by yourself?

[hairless]

For most of my videos, I collaborate with my wife...she's a trooper for putting up with my demands. But for this one, I think I did everything myself, except for the "spinning living room" shot.

[jjjintheusa]

Another smash hit. It's james, btw. check out some of my stuff.

[bryanjbusch]

Brilliant, man.
