Cool music video effect

[Greg Smith]

The overall effect looked interesting to me. Not my style by any means, but appropriate to the material.

However, I absolutely hated the simulated dropouts and streaks. In the bad old days, those were pretty rare on well maintained analog equipment, and these looked especially fake (and repetitive) to boot.

Back when I used to run the local cable TV studio, which was all 3/4", we used to look down our noses at the poor folks who only had VHS equipment to work with. It's all relative ...

Here's some more VHS goodness with this "banned" lunchables ad from the "90s": http://youtu.be/IHnGMV8yOEQ

What an awesome idea.

Awesome idea but fail on execution because they chickened out and added the fake tape break up. If they're gonna do it, they should have damaged the tape or clogged the heads, etc. It's a nice effect. They should have had more faith in the process.

Anyone read about the process Martin Scorsese used for "The Aviator"? He intended on having the look of the film evolve over time and reflect the change in color apparent during the time periods taking place.

Here is an example:

I like it, except for the "dropouts."

Maybe they could have tried a "break in control track" effect as a transition between scenes... have that big patch of snow roll past? :happy:

Can I say I didn't like it? It's okay but I don't know. No one is talking about the song. I don't know, I don't get it. How about the directing? It's an effect. Anyways...so what? imo.

I do not get it.

If your really interested in good music videos, spend some time in http://www.dvxuser.com/V6/showthread.php?116896-What-are-you-listening-to-now/page85.

A lot of links were lost before page 85 but there are some gems there so one could start there. This video believe me is NOT that creative. imo.
