Lazlo Bane Superman, Scrubs theme, Student Music Video

My long awaited music video is here! Hi, my name is Jeff Sharpe and I made this music video in my school's creative film making class. My teacher said it was the best he'd seen this year so far between the two classes. Besides some obvious flaws such as lack of continuity in the background and lighting problems, let me know what you thought of my video.

OK, so a couple things about my music video. My "actors" had never acted before, and I thought they did a pretty good job. I also wanted to be in my music video. And I was. When the camera was going around Laurens (2:59), I can be seen in the mirror for a couple of frames. Ugh, more errors, 1. Around 1:32 the thing on top of the screen is actually a light. I was filming with one hand, and holding the low-power lamp with my other. it got in frame.
2.I realized one or two seconds are missing from my video. When the teacher writes on the board near the 1 minute mark, it skips and part of the writing is cut off. I will try to fix this.

TO THE MUSIC PUBLISHERS AND YOUTUBE:

Please do not sue or remove my video. I am merely trying to express my artistic side (which is pretty small). I am NOT profiting off this video, and I give credit to the song's performer in the credits.

Have you noticed how many student films start with somebody waking up? Students have trouble when thinking about how to start their films. We start the day by waking up - but do films need to start this way?

If you see a character sat at his desk at work at the beginning of a film, do you automatically think "how did he get there? I haven't seen him brush his teeth or anything!"

No, of course not. If the audience can deduce anything at all - leave it out.

Watch more films! :)

Thanks for your input! I appreciate constuctive criticism. The reason I have him waking up and having him wash his face, etc. is to try to show that he wakes up early and not getting a lot of sleep (splashing the water on the face supposedly helps people wake up when they're tired). This is supposed to add to the difficulties he's facing each day. I have watched a few other videos, and I definitely see what you're saying. Thanks once again for the feedback!

you're being too hard on yourself. for a highschooler with probably a limited amount of experience and training...this is VERY GOOD. Sure there are some minor hiccups, but alot of times people won't notice them, only the producer/editor would because he stares at the same video for an extended amount of time.

Good job!

[JSharpe187]

Thanks for the kind words. This is one of the few creative things I've done with my life, and I feel it is one of my greatest accomplishments. I appreciate your feedback

take it from an industry pro: if you're doing REAL video editing, macs are the ONLY way to go.... unless you're a fan of constant problems.

[JSharpe187]

I don't disagree with that. I am definitely a Windows (XP) person, but if you are doing photo editing or video editing, you want to go with Mac.

you are the only person i have ever seen hold there pencil like that (other than me.) WOOH. WOOH.<3 PENCIL POWER! YEAH!!!

[EFFANDJEFF]

No worries. I make sure my film students understand that a film should start with an opening image that sets the tone of the film. When you begin with somebody waking up it should be because starting the day in a particular fashion is vital to the story.

Think about other ways to get your point across. We could see a milk float slowly moving down a dark street and then cut to your character waiting at the door for the milk rubbing his eyes. It's early. He hasn't had much sleep. No cliches! :)

shit this like

[Cybaria]

I must agree. Whilst the video of its self is good for someone of his level and experience, the music unfortunately does not fit well with it and the theme of the music.

[mskinner847]

This song doesnt fit with this at all. It makes me feel like watching paint dry while listening to deaf metal.
