Dreaming of You - The Coral

This is an unofficial music video for "Dreaming of You" by the band "The Coral". This was shot on miniDV over the course of two days and then using Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Premiere Pro, and Adobe After Effects over the course of nearly 6 weeks it was animated.

This is my first attempt at a project using Adobe After Effects. Due to the lack of greenscreen I had to mask out everything but the actors in almost every shot, amounting to a rotoscoping job of a little over 2600 frames. The hours spent working on this, the nights devoid of sleep, and the number of songs I listened to while animating are too numerous to count.

Laura, I want to thank you for writing this. I want to thank you for acting for me. I want to thank you for all the nights the first few weeks you bugged me for a work print because to be honest, if you hadn't, this probably would have never been finished. At one point you referred to this as a baby and you were right. You're creative input and work makes this video just as much yours as it is mine.

Ed, no matter what I plan to shoot, you're always up for acting in it and for that I am grateful. All these weeks of rotoscoping would have been pointless if I didn't have any characters to rotoscope.

Steve, thank you for being my camera guy. If you weren't this would be a crappy Battlestar Galactica, Blair Witch Project imitation and not intentionally.

And of course, thanks to The Coral. Without the song this all obviously couldn't have been made.

So enjoy.
