i would say this isnt so great. it's good, but not that great. what you should've done is use a tripod. don't have the scenes fade out so often. next time, for songs like this, try to find a place that seems to fit the music. the backgrounds didnt work. you could see buildings in the background and graffiti on the bottom of the bridge (one of the pillars). those are just some tips
The shot's in and of themselves were at worst good and at best great. The editing is really obnoxious, especially when the power chords start about halfway through.
Good video. In the song though, he isn't singing about a girl. Its an author he admires that had a moving experience under that bridge in his book. The singer goes there its assumed to "commune" with the authors ghost, or experience what he experienced. But alas he felt nothing, and this itself was a moving realization.
@Zeleii Actually, many of the shots were filmed with a tripod. The ones that weren't, however, were right above the water: too low to the ground for a tripod, and in the water. Despite this, I appreciate the suggestion
Often, cinematographers choose holding the camera rather than using a tripod to create a documentary-like aesthetic or a feeling of atmosphere. I personally prefer handheld, but the tripod shots this guy did were good as well.
idk if its a metaphor really...more like a story about how someone's trying to figure out why a person they cared about jumped off of the bixby canyon bridge. "no closer to any kind of truth, as i must assume is the case with you." thats just my spin on it tho
idk if its a metaphor really...the last lines "no closer to any kind of truth, as i must assume is the case with you" really points at someone trying to figure out why someone they cared about jumped off the bixby canyon bridge. thats just what i think tho
This is awesome :D I've been meaning to make a music vid for this, with a very different atmosphere and story, but I love yours too!

Ever consider the use of a tripod? Quite a few of the shots would be considerably better if you had.

@shakenbake1869 appologies....i think my little brother wrote that...that's how he spells "fricken".
I do have to say, the mole does make her round face look odd......

I am pretty sure this doesn't "play like it did in your mind". Nice effort but...I know, everyone's a critic.
