Hi guys,

This is the first music video i've made, and i was forced by the school's chinese department to make this video, even though i don't know a lick of chinese. (Or at least, have a very poor grasp of it). Anyway check it out and do let me know what you think. It was a pretty rushed shoot....we finished it in around 3 hours altogether, including planning. Plan: 'Just shoot!' The audio track is a scratch track that i was given to edit to....the artiste was gonna sing to the video on the day that it was to be broadcast. It was shot adaptor free on the XH and DVX, with roughly a 1:1 ratio of footage.

Anyway here goes: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=88BG8Q_DT0g

Beautiful man. Maybe show some shots of him playing the piano, like his hands and all. I think the audio of his voice was to low. Th footage matched well!
 
why were you forced to make it?

Coz i ran out of excuses not to, and the teacher and artiste kept bugging me all the time.

Thanks for the comment, como. Actually he isn't playing a piano...heh. We didn't actually intend for him to be playing a piano. After i edited it i realised that it looked like he was playing a piano. If i had to do it again, I would have gotten more angles of him as i felt that it got a bit repetitive after awhile.
 
ah i see, i guess thats kinda why i could see it in the video. in the beggining when they boy and girl were kinda "shy" around each other i kinda had that feeling like when you watch a movie and you start to feel what they are feeling, so that was portrayed well but after a while i was just kinda like ya you really didnt want to make this video.
