The Rather Stupid Music Video

It's finished. I know the .wmv compression sucks badly, but you'll just have to live with it.:smile:

whoa, what an awesome song. I don't even like country but this song was good. Who's the artist? And is the guy in the video the actual artist? (doesn't look like that guy has that voice).

The video itself is a mixed bag. I like the stuff out by the ranch, in the parking lot, and by the toilet. But the stuff out in the forest is basically worthless. It looks pretty good (like the color correction) but what in the world was the point. It just felt like you guys said, "hey, we need to fill some space in the video" and went out and made up stuff as you went along. First the guy's hand gets cut. Then after that he's sitting under a tree where random leaves are falling on him and he gets angry and throws them off, but kind of in a "haha - the crew is dropping leaves on my head - laugh laugh - throw them down in frustration" way. It literally had nothing to do with the video.

The toilet shot was awesome. Loved the color correction in that. Especially the first shot. But then he's, again for no reason, trying to uproot the toilet?? I mean, that might work in a Fallout Boy video but you have these intense lyrics playing underneath the images and it just looks like he's laughing while trying to tear a toilet out of the ground. ?????

You have some wonderful cinematography in this video and you have a great song (btw - loved the choice to use a live song - I can't remember that ever being done before in a narrative video). Why don't you rethink the concept and come up with a story that actually makes sense instead of jumping from random image to random image. It's "never easy". Seems like it would be pretty easy to come up with a storyline surrounding that concept.

Good luck.
