Music Video Ideas.

The ideas listed in the post Promotion Band - Blighters are Stop Motion and multiple characters, the later idea originated from one of my friends own youtube videos located below:

From what he explained to me this was done via having the camera in the same position throughout the shooting and overlapping the 2 different film clips. Audio on the other hand had to be recorded and overlapped to get the sync completely correct, even then there was some time difficulties.

Where the former idea was mentioned by Jake. I then remembered a former video I had come across through my friend at the top by Oren Lavie called Her Morning Elegance. A perfect example of Stop Motion and how well it can come across.

Both idea's are quite interesting, and easily possible to do with even the most basic software. Personally I'm leaning towards Stop motion due to suiting the name of our chosen song "Boys in Motion".

Promotion Band - Blighters

We've finally decided on the band our group is going to promote.



Blighters! The band was chosen mainly due to the song 'Boys in Motion' fitting to our first idea of a unique-ish video of using Stop Motion. Below you will find some ideas towards location, casts, etc.

Location : Skate Park (Stop Motion + Multiple single character on screen at once)
Cast : Jake (Multiple skater)
Ideas : Drums in tree, stop motion, skating, multiple single character doing more than 1 thing on screen at once.

The group attempting to promote this band is Myself, Jake and Ryan.
