.. in addition to earlier remarks: I'm also impressed by the psychadelic effect of the lights and his head.. Did you make more video's with this cute little fellow? Looking forward to it ;-)
Thanks Pauline1122 - the lights were both a response to the wild-beautiful emotion at that part of the song, but also had a darker purpose. If you look very closely when the first two lights enter, you can see the silhouette of a person carrying a flashlight. I didn't make it blatant, but I let him be cornered by a chasing posse at the end. The last lights moving overhead are meant to be from helicopters. He's at peace, and caught, and there is beauty...
I used Adobe After Effects. Made a series of articulate mattes to cut color layers. I kept adding keyframes to the mattes, pretty much working straight ahead to the music. I also made static fog layers and other graphics in Photoshop, then animated them in After Effects. It's a pretty cool tool to work with.
If you can get the "professional" bundle of After Effects, it has some really useful things - like letting you do live sketching of motion paths (with a stylus and wacom tablet for example) while listening to your soundtrack. I used that for the flight path of his "moth" hands.
I thought that was the official vid there! You even got the little details nicely too; Thom's haircut, the way his mouth moves moves when he sings and how he bobs his head with the music. Cool stuff.
wow - thanks. the song made such an impression on me that I immediately started building the visuals - felt more like channeling the emotions than thinking it out.
wow dude awesome synching....this is one of my favorite animations in general...im not trying to be mean or anythin but a lot of people get mixxed up with this lyric and it is for a fact Im all the days that you choose to ignore...not holidays...ive got the disc set and im lookin at the lyric tab now not lyin to yea...besides that point amazing absolutley awesome video man...bravo
thanks! by the way, I understood the lyric - this was just my list of days she might choose to ignore: Holi (day) because of bad memories, Birth (day) because of fearing age, Dooms (day) because it means the end of everything, Doris (Day) because... maybe she doesn't like musicals? etc. -- thanks for bringing it up.
Seductive, yes. Like the clothes just melt off and so close as two lovers could possibly get to each other. Regardless of the lyrics. If only the song were longer...........
this is fucking fabulous! :)
