This was an exercise in Music Video for the New York Film Academy 6-week program. Shot with 16mm black and white reversal, IS0 100, 4:3; edited in Adobe Premiere and After Effects CS4.
Notes: A lot of footage was taken on the fly with a general concept of the video, a few of which were planned for. Could definitely be improved upon with more time editing, but I lost interest. Listening to a song a hundred times in a row can get pretty nauseating. The general concept is "nature confined by man," but some people don't get that at the offset (though it seems pretty obvious to me).
DIRECTOR/DIRECTOR OF PHOTOGRAPHY:
Isaiah Everin
MUSIC BY:
Trent Reznor (Nine Inch Nails), off the album "Ghosts I-IV"
CREW:
Beatrice Januário
Marta Vismara
I watched this 3 months later, and I see now that my major failure is that in order for it to mean something, you have to really pay attention to the images and watch it multiple times.
I immediately know what each sequence of images means because I made it, but it goes by so fast that it probably doesn't come across to the viewer.
so it's an interesting experiment, but doesn't stand much on its own grounds as something viewable by a general audience.

@isaiaheverin I don't know, I disagree. I got the point of it the first way through- then again, I've heard the song many many times over. I think it's really good- though at some points it might be a bit over-exposed with a lot of light in the shots making the shots very bright, but I know that's the trick of B&W film.
In any case, I think it's lovely. Insta-faved it!

@Ookani, Wow, thanks. Yeah, there's definitely some over-exposed and out-of-focus shots. Glad to know you liked it!
