archived-videos Music Video "Monsters"

[Jerboa]

Hey, I'd just like to get some feedback on this music video. I did it last fall, it was my second one. It was extremely low budget ($25), but it was still fun. It was an artist/band Phil Whitman and the song is called "Monsters". I appreciate any feedback.

Good stuff.

I'll second that emotion. I really enjoyed the look and feel of the whole thing. Stop motion doll was pretty creepy, and I enjoyed the bits where you would sweep across those photographs.

As for the music (not sure if you had any input on this), that is one strange bass guitar effect. Those slides were wacky and synthetic-sounding (esp. after the instrumental section in the middle).

Pretty neat!

By the way... when that piano was playing all by itself (during the intro), what am I seeing in the very upper left corner of the screen?

I saw that too. I couldn't tell if it was someone's hand inside the piano, or just the inside of the paino.

Thank you very much for the feedback. That was actually one of the guys holding a light right there, he was moving a bit and it showed up. There was very little I could do about it except for put a widescreen matte over it, which I didn't do.

Good stuff. I agree with all the points made so far. I liked the silhouette of the lead singer, I wish it would have been used more...I felt it added to the creepiness.
