A few frame grabs from the music video I'm directing for Mouse Grey's song "The Echo in My Mind".

They wanted "colorful, abstract, and retro". I think I'm headed in the right direction?

Oh, gosh! I don't do well on ink blot tests. Is the first one a uterus?

Seriously, it looks fantastic.

Thanks CamVader. It's coming together.

Yes, that's an alien uterus.

I thought the first one was a Ram's head. But yes, it looks good...

Can you tell us how you did it, or is it a classified technique?

 

[Flicker Pictures]

Ha, nothing that classified or terribly difficult. I'm finding the MIRROR effect is a great way to add symmetry to footage and ratchet up the abstract factor. Since I don't have After Effects I need to get crafty with what's available to me. Of course, these are all moving images, but only want to post stills for now. I think it's coming together nicely for recycling old Super8, Video8 and miniDV footage.

Hmmm Mirror. I've never used that. I don't have After Effects either...

 

[Flicker Pictures]

Yeah, it can come in handy.

Another one...

Next push will be in shooting the band doing their thing. Not sure when that will pan out. Sooner than later I hope.
