archived-videos First music video - Eedem "Close your eyes"

[backlash]

This is the first music video that we did fully ourselves. I just asked a friend of mine if he wanted us to make a video for one of his songs.
He proposed "close your eyes", considering that the song doesn't have lyrics, this is what it inspired.
With only one normal HD cam, basic lighting (home lamps), and using imovie as editor, this is the best that we could achieve.
All was filmed in one day, fighting against the clock as it was getting dark.
The easy thing, we didn't need audio

Anyway, for once we moved out from silly comedy to a surreal area.

Constructive feedback will be appreaciated as we want to learn more and more.

I like it, I really liked the shot of the guy leaving the house with the camera panning to the left. I wish it had slid into another shot though... Not sure I understand what the deal with all the clowns was, but it's fun none-the-less

Thanks Dreadylocks. We also liked that shot, I agree that it would have been nicer to link it with the next scene... Unfortuantely we planned the shooting quite poorly, so the next shot was actually used at a later stage to allow a bit more of different situations.

We tried to recreate a situation with as many clowns as possible, but we were only 3 people as clowns, so this was the best that we could achieve.
