    There's a lot of work and presumably quite a budget gone into this.
    I really enjoyed it. The camerawork and editing is really tight with the music and it's got a great atmosphere.
    Wouldn't normally be a fan of the music (seems a bit 70s) but enjoyed that too because of the video.

    Thanks for your kind comment. Actually it was shot on zero budget...

    Great job - as they said, top-rate editing work.
    To get the timing down with the music, I guess a lot of though had to go into the planning beforehand.
    How do you plan it all out?

    Nice video~

    As much as I would have liked it to be meticulously planned shot-by-shot beforehand, the truth is this was my first music video, and the shooting and editing processes overlapped a lot!

    We shot the footage in 3 shoots over 3 months. The first shoot was at a warehouse with the dancers fully made-up. We had two cameras, but were shooting anything and everything because I wasn't even aware that I would be editing at that point!

    After that, we had one shoot for the guy who's stumbling through the 'dream', and the crowd scenes in the tunnel. Then another shoot once I'd finally persuaded the band that they needed to be in the video too (albeit only as silhouettes).

    So almost all of the beat-synching had to be done during editing. It was just a matter of trawling through for clips with nice motion, then choosing how to fit them to the (thankfully) prominent beat. A lot of speed adjustment went in to getting that live feel, so if I had a 1.5 second clip that needed to fit into a one second beat-gap, then I'd put it at 150% and slot it in.

    But yeah, in the end it was A LOT of work, most of which could have been reduced by doing a proper storyboard/shot list etc.

    And/or possibly by having someone else to help!

    Thanks for you kind comment,

    Wow - kudos on the hard work needed to sift through massive amounts of video to pull all that out!

    2 cameras? Both HV20?
    And you did it all yourself?
    One on a tripod and one in hand?

    Anyway - great job with it!

    Some excellent techniques, but somewhat silly.
