WILD STRAWBERRIES - Oil On Canvas

I was drawn in through the music and the idea behind the video, but I agree with a lot of comments on here. The disconnection of the bridge and the rest of the song is distracting. I love the idea of the band as graffiti, but think that they should possibly be scaled to match the size of the object they were placed on (it may bring out the texture you used a little better and tie the close ups in with the wide angles). I know you have shots with both the band on the wall and people standing around, but I think if some of the clips could use the people walking passed the life size graffiti of the band (personal opinion). Very well done though. Had me watching this one a couple times over.

Overall, this is a good video. I do agree that the graffiti could have been composited a little better. Either color corrected a little better to match the rugged look of the walls they are on or opacity down a fraction to see the grittiness behind them. Very good concept though. What did you use to shoot? The shots look GREAT!! If you can, respond on my video page so I can see your response. Thanks.

Robbie - sorry I just read you question properly. I used FCP, Photoshop and After Effects only. I think given some of the accurate criticisms I have received that perhaps using some 3D software like Cinema 4D might have helped enhanced the textures and maybe more advanced compositing in Nuke or similar would have increased the reality.
However my goal was to achieve everything with what I had at hand so I used only the previously mentioned 3 apps.
Having a more advanced AE master involved would also have helped but again I had to use what I had ie. me :)

the concept is very good, but the graffiti application looks fake. But congratulations, good work!

You have a nice balance of good music and video. It flows well and is quite catchy. Nice work!

Really great. I wish it had stayed with the stickers during the bridge, developed it somehow, but nevertheless, really cool.

Really nice idea and a better than fair realization of that idea - I do have just one knock but first here's what I really liked - the fact that at the bridge you changed up the effect - it wasn't so far unrelated to the main portion - I mean they fit together although they were different - ya know? Anyway my beef would be that the little guys didn't seem to be part of the things you pasted them to. You know like in Photoshop you can displace a picture on to a textured surface and it will obey the contours and indentations and shadows and what not - so that's all - song is fair that's just personal taste - Kind of reminds of that group from the 80's A-Ha - luv the ending - You did a lot of work here and it worked for me.
