The song gets a no poke.
"Their first music video, which the band has not even seen, for “Long Gone” has special significance.
“Ultimately it’s an anti-drug song about a girl struggling with a heroin addiction,” Anastasi said of the tune from their 2007 self-titled debut album.
For lead vocalist/keyboardist Pedano, the song took on new meaning when his stepsister died under similar circumstances. He said the song “is the one with the emotional stock” and his sentiments were seconded by Cesar Kuriyama, the man responsible for the video — from creating the concept to directing to editing the final cut.
“He thought it was our most emotional song and thought it would make the best video,” Anastasi said.
Soooooo I'm guessing the booger guy is the heroine...After knowing that....I get it...I don't know what made them use that specific thing...but...again after knowing that lil diddy of info I likessss it... All in all good job. Good number. I'm now buying a CD.
The creature was created by my friend Adam Levine of Adimals.com ... I asked him to design him based on images of "opium poppy" flowers which is where Heroin comes from. If you google image it, you'll find that those flowers are fat, green, have a little crown on there head, and often bloom red.
His name is Poppy.

BUT: at 7 fps, a video made from 45.000 frames should last 107 minutes.
a video lasting 4:15 with 7 fps contains 1.785 individual frames.
even at 24 fps it only comes to 6.120 frames total.
so what became of the remaining close to 40.000 frames ?
I've noticed a lot of people have been confused by this. You're the first to bring it up here, so I'll take the time to clarify.
It seemed to me that if you'd like to know the amount of final frames or images used to create a video, all you have to do is multiply the Frames per second (24) by the amount of seconds in the video (4:15 minutes = 255 seconds). Certainly 24 X 255 does NOT equal 45,000.
But it did take 45,000 photographs to get what I needed. There was no way of knowing if I had what I needed after we shot it on the set. So it took weeks (of my personal, after work hours) to sort through each shoot, organize every take, attach the photographs in Final Cut, and render them out to see if we "got it".
That being said, there were a lot of shots that we shot sooo slowly, that I had to play at 60 FPS and sometimes 120 FPS. I believe the final amount of images used is somewhere between 7000 to 10,000 photographs.
Thanks again for the compliment, and I hope this helps!

I just chance on your video since I am researching on this video technique. I truly love your video and I understand the effort and the pains that go along shooting and editing it.
In our case, we are practicing this technique but we don't have a lot of time for the editing. The thing that we did was for a wedding and it was an SDE (same day edit). If you have time, kindly look at it and I will appreciate if you can give me tips to further improve in this craft.
Again, thank you.
