MUSIC VIDEO I SHOT - WATCH ME!

Re: MUSIC VIDEO I SHOT - WATCH ME!

This vid does bring up an issue we all face in our work - creating videos. In terms of "Art", we should follow our desires and instincts and create what we like.

However, if you want to create something that is marketable, it appears sex and violence are very necessary. It also seems that you have to outdo your competition. Kill Bill Vol 1, made me ill. I couldn't believe how much people loved the violence in the movie. Tarantino was joking: he wanted to make it so violent, it became funny. Here in the Midwest, I don't think a lot of people (at least in the show I saw) recognized the jest. Instead they applauded the blood-fest. I guess we are like the ancient Romans, wanted bigger and badder gladiator events.

I'm not sure what category the video falls under. I thought it attempting to be a music video. It isn't great, but some of the shots seem OK. Otherwise it is completely exploitative. I agree with others here. However, aren't most of the movies that come out that way?

I've got an idea for a screenplay, but I find myself thinking how to put more sex and violence in it because that is what is in demand... I'm resisting, but I can see the attention this video brings, and you wonder if going over the top isn't really the right thing?

I'll stick with my goal of having good cinematography and good acting...but I'm feeling the dark side influencing me ;)

Reminded me of some old school Frankie Goes to Hollywood footage.

Hey Spart I was not suggesting that this was off the 'straight and narrow'.
What I was trying to say was that eveyones 'straight and narrow' is different and no one has the right to force there opinion on anyone eles. Which I might add I was not suggesting that this video did.
Don't get so riled up about what people on here are saying, you have to know that there are a lot of people that are not going to like what is in that video but let them think what they want and they should let you think what you want. :)

Yeah chill out. :D

I find it amusing. (Like awwwww aint that cute...) LOL

Re: MUSIC VIDEO I SHOT - WATCH ME!

looking over it with a more pro view regardless of the content ie: the acting / the editing etc etc - I'd say the expression was very lacking - I mean everyone there except the girl who got mugged had almost no expression that conveyed anything to the viewer - the guy at the bar looked lost as if he was on a break from filming & the cam was still rolling - the DJ getting the BJ looked like it was his first ever sexual experience !
I kinda like the tune & the editing was average - some ok shots of the abused girl on that old skool monitor thingy but overall not all that - didn't even shock me in the slightest like it has others - ok gay sex & cocain whats the big deal - its more shocking to do something happy go lucky nice these day's.

Its just so typical for a tune like this to have a video like this - very clique - in a club - sex - cocain - its just so boring & uniform in todays club culture.

In europe there are some horrific german gabba 200 bpm hard techno videos that make this look like playschool - I dont mind shock & awe as long as it really does shock & awe - this just had know substance at all - im sorry to say.

The only bit for me was the ending shot with them 3 leaving the club - the video should of started from there - would av been waaay more interesting.

people have mentioned about the retro look etc but if it was trying to be retro in anyway - it just didn't work - I would have dusted of my super 8 & kept most of it b&w - that would have added some real edge but other wise the whole thing was just boring & artifical & by the feel of it an aim to try & shock but not very well.

Sorry - just ain't feeling this - surely - it needs more work - it does have unfinished quality about it.

Why does the dj need to sell the fact he is gay & high on coke as a part of exploiting the record - surely he's isolating his market - I understand the video is one's own art & self expression - but this just makes him look like a right asshole - stealing the coke just looks cheap & pathetic - he should've been dealing it out & pushing it onto the girl - that would've looked more cooler to my eye. Also rather than getting a BJ of the guy he should av used miss botox cologen to give him head - waaay more freaky & shocking.

Just my take - each to their own

Re: MUSIC VIDEO I SHOT - WATCH ME!

its almost like the video was MADE to spark controversy though, and i hate when people do **** like that. when someone makes a video out of 'art' one can usually tell. this i couldnt feel the art at all. it was like random 'lets have a guy give another guy a blowjob thatd be cool!' . I just get very disapointed- people post screen grabs that are AWESOME, planned well, nice camera work, beautiful lighting- and then something like this gets posted. i just think a dvx could go to better use.
 
Re: MUSIC VIDEO I SHOT - WATCH ME!

WTF was that?

That is without a doubt the most morally corrupt video I’ve seen to date. Hedonistic sex, possible or implied rape, cocaine possession/usage, men in drag? The world is truly going to hell.

As a soldier, I’ll protect your right to create such artistic trash, but it doesn’t mean I have to like it. I’m not a homophobe (I'm really not) and I feel that folks can do whatever they desire in the privacy of their own homes (or clubs), but sometimes people’s freedom of expression crosses the line into depravity. What’s next on the dossier, a NAMBLA video?

Dammit, now it’s time to clean my hard drive. :o
