"Chicago"

[jtranca]

This was the first amateur/independent (not in a negative way) music video I've seen that wasn't bad. In fact it was really good and I plan to look at this piece as encouragement that it doesn't take an insane amount of money to produce a video this good.

hmm... i recall the version that he played at calvin in '03 being much faster, and with a banjo... this sounds like a guitar.

Yeah, I liked it. I haven't heard the live version, but yeah... it definitely fits your piece much better than the Illinoise version would have.

I really liked the way you shot it, I'm also interested in film but I don't have a camera yet, and haven't really done much. I still liked the artistic side you showed in it, even if the subject matter was a tad stale. I definitely felt the emotion though... :)

[oywidapoodles1]

Aw, I liked that. I think it fit the song really well, and the editing was good.

[theappleseedcast]

Thank you very much that really really means a lot to me.

You have no idea.

Have a great day check out my other films especially ink.

[comelouder]

I like the live version much better than the Illinoise version. The video is not very innovative though. Where is the song taken from? Cheers

[theappleseedcast]

Considering the circumstances in which this video had to be made, I feel that it is extremely innovative. But i appreciate constructive criticism...what don' you find innovative about it? that it was about a failed relationship...or a relationship that worked out...what exactly did you get out of this video? I'm just curious. This version is live. pre illinoise and pree greetings

[larrynifkin]

IS it just me or this version of the song different. Is it live or something?

[theappleseedcast]

yes it is live

[everywordmeans]

P.S. I posted the link for this video on my blog, and it got positive comments there, too. If you care to, I'd love to add you to my friendslist just on principal. http://everywordmeans.livejour­nal.com/219813.html

Loved the writing & concept. Iffy about the pop culture references ala the poster in the apt.& the t-shirt. Seemed to soil the sentiment for me a bit,made it less timeless. Still quite a lovely video. How personal to you was it's creation?

[theappleseedcast]

I wrote, produced, directed this for my Intro class. posters I couldn't do anything about because I filmed it at my house / they are my roomates.also the plain walls would just add too much empty space.Couldn't get paintings on short notice.The shirt was to add a little quirk in their relationship to show that they have a very fun yet meaningful relationship.t

[theappleseedcast]

hnx for your kind words and constructive criticism I appreciate them a lot.As far as personal...bfs just cheat on me, i accept it we are friends and I move on.

[everywordmeans]
