I've heard the music before and really like it, the video goes really well with the track, good bit of team work! very nice to wake up to.

Glice · 10.01.2010, 06:09 AM

I'd like Knox's vocals higher in the mix. Although that'd be massively incongruous. I like her vocals. But yeah, it's a pretty sterling effort. Good work all concerned.

nicfit · 10.01.2010, 06:26 AM

I'm really pretty new to videos and related stuff, so please, Jef, Toko, etc. don't be too harsh haha. My first vid ever had no cuts at all (around 4 mins single shot with no camera movements). Working on a 9 mins track is way harder. And yes, I still suck at editing, so I went for the mood, basically (that's a good excuse, isn't it?).

p.s. slavoman, I think it would look much better if we added some sort of "flash lights" as transitions between the 3 "sections"...nuh?

_slavo_ · 10.01.2010, 07:45 AM

we can do that, yes.

Dope. with a capitol D

hevusa · 10.01.2010, 08:23 AM

nice work!
do you guys live around each other or was it an internet thing?

_slavo_ · 10.01.2010, 08:32 AM

nicfit lives in Italy
I live in Slovakia
knox lives God knows where

Rob Instigator · 10.01.2010, 09:09 AM

Knox lives in our hearts....

Good work man. Now I desperately feel I need to gte the bong out and rip up a bowl and watch this again so I can absorb the shit man.
but 9:00 AM at the office is no place for that!

hevusa · 10.01.2010, 09:14 AM

I like the idea of people living far away from each other collaborating. If there are any musicians on the board who want to collaborate I would be all for it.

Hit me up yo! I work in Nuendo or Cubase.

TheFoxBen · 10.01.2010, 10:33 AM

Wow, that's a really mesmerizing piece of music, Knox's vocals are so haunting, I love that !

As for the video, it's amazing, I especially love the smoke part and the ending with the fly and the ants. Nicfit, did you film that part ?

nicfit · 10.01.2010, 11:52 AM

It's all original footage, and that's not even smoke actually

.
Glad you guys like it, as slavo well knows I had lots of doubts on almost everything haha...

TheFoxBen · 10.01.2010, 12:36 PM

Hah, that's not smoke ?

What is it then ? Anyway, it's a really really good video.

EVOLghost · 10.01.2010, 12:43 PM

fucking fantastic!

chicka · 10.01.2010, 01:10 PM

It looks like the memory bath in Harry Potter. Dam are those ants strong or what. As I said on you tube Hauntingly Beautiful......

Dr. Eugene Felikson · 10.01.2010, 01:10 PM

Cool track. I could definitely smoke a few bowls to this.

@nic

I noticed 2 cuts, and 3 different shots throughout the video. In my opinion, the shots got gradually more interesting as they went along, with the ending of the ants and the bee, being my favorite part. The second shot is really interesting as well, 'cause I have no fucking clue what I'm looking at! I like that.

The first shot though...

I don't know if you were going for a handheld look, but I think this may have worked better if you had used a tripod. I mean, it's the opening shot... don't you wanna start the video off with a bang? Really draw the audience in, ya' know? I mean it wasn't like it was horrible or anything, ha, I'm just trying my best to give a little constructive criticism.

But yeah, solid work guys!

hevusa · 10.01.2010, 01:17 PM

good critique

nicfit · 10.01.2010, 01:32 PM

Yep Dr. , criticism is more than accepted!
There's no deep "concept" behind the 3 shots, it's more a sort of moody thing, the first being the start of the "trip" ha ha...it's kinda hard to bring a tripod on a plane, but I get what you mean about the first part, I think the very same thing, a more "steady" shot would work much better, also because both the other parts start from a static pov...
Btw, I have no proper video-equipment (not even a camcorder), so it's all a sort of experiment for me (I warned slavo back in the days), and working with ultralimited resources is kinda challenging in a good way.
The second shot is the only one I actually "put together" from an idea, I prepared the stuff needed, a bit of light and shot the thing while I interacted with the materials. The idea was to create some sort of "ethereal landscape"...seems like it worked.. what you see is about 3-4 cm tall tops btw haha. chicka got pretty close

not that close, but...

here's a frame from the unedited vid, I guess it's more clear this way
