"Chamber Pop" imadethismistake (music video)

[AntipastaTrey]

so is this emo music?

[Joekins89]

Amazing video Alan, so impressed.

[KavithaisPadfoot]

I love this video!! Great job, Alan!

[RyderRooRoo]

i love them

[pattersonpeople]

it sounds like a song that I heard before. but cool song.

[LittleYellowDiamonds]

This reminds me [musically] of Admit It by Say Anything. Very good!

[NonTypical384]

i thought the same thing! lol

[realism18]

This was such an inspirational song, I love the seeping dark ink of her thoughts/emotions.So beautifully edited and done, the song was soulful but I felt like the video outshined the song..dunno.

An awesome job Mr Monday!

<3

[FueledByRock]

Incredibly cool editing, I loved the effect of the spreading blackness, and the song was also very good.

[silvercoffeesurfer]

very good movie 5 stars

[samson092]

good work man. I use sony vegas too, is it hard to do that fast soft flashing effect you did? I have no idea how you do it

[antiscialbtrfly]

I really like the end of this song. :)

[HyperKid66]

w0ah! that was a pro video!! to be honest, I didnt like the song all that much, although the lyrics were really pro! the video effects were AWESOME tho! good job Allan!!!! the words splattered on the wall in the begining were so cool! as well as the part with the thunder, and light in the window, that was a wicked scene :)

[stokmarknes]

The vid was good. The song was not:S

[Kittyfeet69]

Amazing work, Alan.

- Michael W. Dean

[Tina29x]

I really love this song! It is great!

[Tina29x]

Please could you tell me how good is sound on this camera? Is this sound of camera, or you put the sound after? Thanks

[bigmetaldude]

By the way, is that light flickering effect done in Vegas or After Effects?

[bigmetaldude]

Alan, I WORSHIP your editing skills. I hope to someday be halfway to your level.

[HeIIi0nExciter]

Utterly AWESOME

Video and music both 5 * * * * * 's

[the5regularguys]

This is an awesome video!!!

Great job.

[jamonouz]

hi, does the hc-48 haves the "timelapse" feature?

thanx!

[fallofautumndistro]

No it doesn't. I sped up and slowed down the footage using Sony Vegas.

[Kcy101]

IT does have two timelapse features, One will tape a pic. every 5sec-60min countlessly and it has a tape one iv yet to use. Great camera i love it with 680,000 effective video while most have 300,000

[stokmarknes]

I've got it to;) I love it so far.

[Kcy101]

Yep, i think its the best Midpriced DV cam ever :). Great for lighting to, like in my vids

[xoxokissixoxo]

well now that i can here the music with the video it KICKS ASS! keep up all the good work!

-wHiTe bOy-

[StragonRage]

wow..great..

i need your album..in my ipod xd

[5735742]

coll but emo :|

[achampag2]

this has been stuck in my head all week

=)

[whamkazam]

could this be any more bi polar?

[m00m000cow]

pretty kool but kindof emo

[widcombeboy]

I think I liked it- although I am not sure I was supposed to 'like' it! I guess I mean I appreciated it- very well made.

[tlg847]

Cool. Nice work, alan.

[fallofautumndistro]

Thanks Tom. I appreciate it.

[ApauledTV]

Cooler graphics than us? How is this possible.

5/5!

[fallofautumndistro]

Thanks guys, it took forever, but I'm really happy with it.

[lebnash1]

cool. but i reckon it would have looked better if u made the paper on the floor absorb the ink too.

[fallofautumndistro]

Yeah, not sure how I'd do that with having to mask the paper. Maybe doing a third layer mask and fourth layer of ink...

[lebnash1]

or u could apply a displacement map on to the reveal stcok footage ur using, and displace it to the video background if u place is over the paper and carpet.

[acheronwalthers]

seriously, how do you be so good at this?

i is jealous. if i get motion and pro you need to teach me your masterfulness.

-Adam

[fallofautumndistro]

Thanks Adam, I can definitely help if you need it.

[stellablue23]

Very, very pretty.

[luckyandsasha]

beautifully done! love this

[iniksbane]

The video is good. Is that supposed to be blood? Like she bled all over the page?

[fallofautumndistro]

It's supposed to be ink, like she's writing in a journal all of the memories of the past relationship, but she can't make them form words, they just splatter and run.

[iniksbane]

Ahh... Somehow I missed that one. It's kind of like that Barenaked Ladies song, "She doesn't like them, since she found out what the words meant."

[tapbubble9]

Ah, I didn't really catch that either. The actor is using a pencil in the beginning there. ;) I figured it was more like depression as someone else mentioned.

CC: Cuts/action seemed pretty slow for such a fast tempo in the music. The second half fit a lot better. As everyone else has mentioned, the effects are really cool though. :) It might have been cool to see the onscreen text get crowded with the page still blank.

[TwistedDeception]

your roommate has a nice ass.........sorry.

lol. ;)

Very nice work.

[fallofautumndistro]

Haha.

[fallofautumndistro]

Originally, Canadia, but he now lives in Florida.

[Abby2R]

Great Song. Great Video. Where'd you learn all that cool effects-y stuff alan?

[fallofautumndistro]

I went to college for graphic design, but I also watched a few online tutorials and then just experimented. Thanks for watching Abby!

[17WoodStock17]

That was sick Alan!

[fallofautumndistro]

=) Thanks Woodstock. I'm so happy with how it turned out.

[acheronwalthers]

that was incredible.

god that makes me wish that i had final cut pro and motion and all that

-Adam

[fallofautumndistro]

Thanks Adam, this was all on PC though. =)

[acheronwalthers]

making it all the more impressive.

but i have a mac so i need final cut studio

[travisstar]

good filming and editing, what programs did you use ?

[fallofautumndistro]

Thanks, I use Sony Vegas 7 and Adobe AfterEfects.

[travisstar]

thanks, i now saw that you had written it in the about section, im not wey good at editing, do you edit videos for people ?

[kerilizmon]

nice editing

[FunnelofFun]

Man, I am very impressed. I've gotta step up my editing after watching this.

[fallofautumndistro]

Glad it could inspire FoF!

[charliepapps]

awesome vid

A+++

[fallofautumndistro]

Thanks Charlie.

[MattVnation]

WOW your really good Alan

Awsome vid!

-MVN

[fallofautumndistro]

Thanks so much Matt! =)

[PogoFONG]

awsome video!!!

[fallofautumndistro]

Thanks Pogo, glad to see you around.

[MBRHIndustries]

That was good man. You've got some editing skills.

[fallofautumndistro]

Thank you MBRHIndustries.

[automaticpilot3]

F'in great video for one of the best songwriters making music today. Two thongs up!

[fallofautumndistro]

Yeah, I love imadethismistake.

[Justinmazing]

You make me want to learn more on AAE and Vegas. You did a really good job on this. Looks pro!

[fallofautumndistro]

Thanks Justin, you should take a look at those programs if you haven't yet, they're amazing tools.

[kenrg]

Brilliant video! Really f***ing excellent! Feature material.

[fallofautumndistro]

Thanks kenrg, feel free to send the link to Mia lol. ;)

[Leon14356]

Great work! The song was pretty cool and the visual effects were great ^_^

another great video! XD!!

[fallofautumndistro]

Thank you Leon. =)

[Leon14356]

XD that's really cool of u to thank everyone!

not everyone does that, but that shows a lot about ur character ^^

oh and YOUR WELCOME!!! XD

[fallofautumndistro]

No problem Leon, I really appreciate everyone who takes the time to watch, but especially the time to comment, it's the least I could do. Well, the least I could do is not bother reading the comments at all, but what fun would that be? lol

[Leon14356]

XD! i know what ya mean. I reply like every 5 comments on my videos, but i always try to thank everyone at least once ^^

[briancd37]

Not too sure about the song - but the video is very good

[fallofautumndistro]

Thanks for watching Brian.

[TimberGeek]

Nice work...

I like the music, it's got a bit of "Dead Milkmen" flavor to it.

[fallofautumndistro]

Yeah, imadethismistake is a great band, imo.

[time2live09]

i like the video, the music not so much! But really great video I loved that part of it!

[fallofautumndistro]

Thanks for watching.

[righthandgenius]

really really awesome dude, i loved this.

[fallofautumndistro]

Thanks RHG!

[bwhahrhr]

awsome job Alan! great and powerful camera angles / editing

you realy got what it takes to amaze me (:

[fallofautumndistro]

So glad to hear it bwhahrhr, thanks for watching.

[fancoy]

Really good video, Alan. Love the editing and the disturbing black thing. A potent and deep image.

[fallofautumndistro]

Thank you so much fancoy.

[Saraej14]

really cool music video, I like the black stuff

[fallofautumndistro]

Thanks Saraej14, it supposed to be ink, all the lyrics of the thoughts and that running out of her and staining the floors.

[BarryAldridge]

Great video Alan. This is really good production.

[fallofautumndistro]

Thanks for watching Barry.

[nalts]

Wow- great job with this!

[fallofautumndistro]

Thank you Kevin!

[SuicideFriendly]

Excellent. Very professional.

[fallofautumndistro]

Thank you SF! =)

[popeyecaan]

Nice job! Peace

[fallofautumndistro]

Thanks for watching popeyecaan. =)

[LadyApple32]

I love the creeping black effect...It's the best way to explain depression. You feel like it just pours out of you, and before you know it, everything around you reflects that feeling of darkness. It was a bit emo, but props for that.

[fallofautumndistro]

Thank you LadyApple, yeah I think it creates this suffocating, urgent feel, much like heart break.

[TheColorOrange621]

Wow great job! Good song too.

[fallofautumndistro]

Hey Orangie, thanks! It was fun.

[nerdfighter4]

cool video.

[fallofautumndistro]

Thank you Shannon!

[serenitynerdfighter]

wow, a video editor as well, awesome!

[fallofautumndistro]

Thanks Serenity. =)

[TheDiamondFactory]

The effects were awesome Alan. Great job! Very cool song and video.

[fallofautumndistro]

Thanks Danny! If Zappin Productions ever needs any additional Post work, don't be shy. =)

[TheDiamondFactory]

For sure!

[jedimaster86]

Very nice directing and editing, Alan. You've got a real knack for directing, man - keep up the great work!

Not that it matters, but I believe the spelling is "rendezvous"

[fallofautumndistro]

Thanks Jedi Master. Eventually I'd like my channel just to become a place for videos I've produced and not have to actually appear in any of them. I have a face for radio.

[WHATTHEBUCKSHOW]

reaslly good! I need After Effects! Is it cheap/easy?

[channeIreview]

HAHA buck - these are relative questions. I've heard a lot of people describe you with those adjectives. I use it and would answer the question saying no but its worth the price and the headaches.

[fallofautumndistro]

Lol, I agree on every point here Channei. ;)

[fallofautumndistro]

It's neither. But hit me up on AIM and I could point you towards a great tutorial site and some other resources. I'm a self-taught user, so, if you're willing to put in the time, doing stuff like what's in this video isn't beyond learning from home.

[channeIreview]

Actually I know a trick on how to get Adobe editing software cheaply. They are pretty complicated these days with their activations codes but their is a backdoor that they haven't addressed.

[colormekristen]

ok, usually i only post nice comments, but i'll be honest.

The video was awesome, but the acting was a little shotty and cheesey.

that was colormekristen telling the truth.. was this my first hate comment?

[fallofautumndistro]

Thanks Kristen, I live in a very small town with no aspiring actors or actresses to speak of, I usually borrow friends or drama club kids from the next town over's community college. This was just my roommate, who never wanted to act, but I talked her into doing this. Thanks for watching either way.

[msdragonfly1]

amazing!

[fallofautumndistro]

Thank you Ms. Dragonfly. =)

[lisasimpson]

Oh, Alan, its so sad! Yet so beautiful.

[fallofautumndistro]

Thanks Beccah. Most of his songs are about love lost, so it's very easy for me to do videos for them, hah.

[lisasimpson]

Those songs seem to write themselves, especially when you can't get someone out of your head (as is the case in this song). Regardless, I love your work.

[channeIreview]

Oh, hey it's nice you mention the software used in creating this. However, you didn't specify which flavor of Adobe After Effects you utilized -- is it standard or pro?

[fallofautumndistro]

I use Standard.

[channeIreview]

I only asked this question to pad the comments as your despcription makes it clear that you didn't use anything that exclusive to the pro version. But thanks for the answer cuz it gave me an excuse to add another comment.

[channeIreview]

you really should do more music videos. not that your other videos aren't awesome. but your music vids really display your talent.

[fallofautumndistro]

I appreciate that Channei, compared to my other videos though they take forever! lol Plus, finding new actors/actresses all the time is hard in this area. Like for this one, I just begged my roommate to do it, because no one else was available. =)

[channeIreview]

Great editing alan!! the video and music really went well together.

[fallofautumndistro]

Thanks Channei! =)

[lolaknows]

That was awesome!

[fallofautumndistro]

Thank you lola, glad you enjoyed it! =)

[smokebombhill]

Cool edit, cool fx...

:D

[fallofautumndistro]

Thanks smokebomb. =)

[achampag]

the effects captured the emotion very well. liked the song too...

=)

[fallofautumndistro]

Thanks Lea, glad they didn't appear to be gratuitous. =)

[achampag]

no, they were just enough

not flashy, but imaginative

[fallofautumndistro]

=) Thanks.

[gothkyd]

cool, incredibly professional. :)

[fallofautumndistro]

Thanks gothkyd for watching. =)

[davedays]

great job!! nice work :-)

[fallofautumndistro]

Hey perv. I mean, Dave.

[mattlaw25]

Alan you should do a music video for dave, he could use the added quality. :)

[fallofautumndistro]

Hehe, comedy is really hard to do right though, and I think Dave pretty much nails it on all of his vids.

[TheSumpPump]

Cool!

[fallofautumndistro]

Thanks for watching Craig.

[alieinna]

Those effects were AWESOME.

[fallofautumndistro]

Thanks so much alieinna. =)

[DakotaFloyd]

Nice! Me and a friend are working on a video for "Clear Skies Beyond Tallahassee." I'll let you know when it's up.

[fallofautumndistro]

Yeah, definitely let me know, I'd like to see it!

[kteachone]

nice.

[fallofautumndistro]

Thanks for watching KT. =)

[stukitto]

Love the visual effects. They are very effective.

[fallofautumndistro]

Thanks stukitto, I'm really happy with how they turned out.

[cheekychen]

hey man, this turned out great! nice work Alan :)

[fallofautumndistro]

Thanks man!

[JustA11en]

Great job Alan. VERY well done.

[fallofautumndistro]

Thanks Allen, I have so much fun with this type of video work.

[luvthecanadian]

Wow, this is really impressive!

I'm sure this took forever.

[fallofautumndistro]

Hehe, well, it took about four full days spread out over the last week. But the end product is always worth it.

[ThoughtScientist]

funny vocal delivery, kickass direction, 5 stars

[fallofautumndistro]

Thanks TS! =)

[fernandomares]

Awesome photography, awesome use of vfx.

You're really a pro, Alan...

You should also link a Hi-Fi version of the video...

[fallofautumndistro]

Thanks Fernando, I'll try to upload one later tonight. Need food right now... lol

[ofarevolution441]

very very cool video + song.

[fallofautumndistro]

Thanks notOARthebandbutOARtheyoutubeu­ser. =)

[ofarevolution441]

lmao!

[theboringdispatcher]

great

[fallofautumndistro]

hey Roger...

[SpharkProd]

Awesome work. Great mood set.

[fallofautumndistro]

Thank you Sphark! =)

[ciarrella]

video was cool. the song was lacking (then again, I'm not a big fan of this genre of music).

[fallofautumndistro]

Hey ciarrella, yeah, people seem to run hot and cold with this band, but I love them enough to keep creating free music videos for them so... wait, maybe I am a little off then...... =)

[kingpolaris]

lovely video alan! its gd that ur helpin the band

[fallofautumndistro]

Thanks King. I try to support them whenever I can, I really enjoy their music.

[vanawesome]

flippin sweet my man. love the ink effects.

[fallofautumndistro]

Thanks Mr. Awesome... dammit, you got me to do it again, I'm changing your name to vanterrible... there, that's better. lol I appreciate you watching man, your vids always look great.

[karliezmarie]

you are such a great director. this is an awesome song also!
