current video ideas...

at present the group have formed the basic premise of our music video, which we have already mentioned. going into more detail Lauren and i went thought the lyrics depicting ideas for the amimation/footage dynamic. :

Bang, and now I would like to test my neon lights
Aeroplanes have lifted the sun from the sky
here we want to begin with the artist drawing on a sheet of paper, these pictures will run though the video. it will then zoom in to the picture to symbolise that the video is going to be within her art book.

Through net curtains and bay windows, your heroine names
Your crack cocaine’s insane, why did you play that game, big boy at all.
here we will begin our footage of the window and slowly pan towards the actor who is just lying on his bed obvioulsy doing nothing, (we will come back to this image at the end of the video to close it.)

So come on, my son, use your head,
it’s this neighbourhood
Aaaaaaaaaaaa
It’s the neighbourhood
here our actor will be looking from his window onto a bleak street, with weird images appearing such as a lock-ness body seeping in and out of the tarmac road. we will edit the location to emphasize the bleakness with the saturation effect.

You moisturise me with your rain
here it will being to rain (drawn)

The favours and time I invest in you,
not time enough, when time falls through alone.
here we would have a weird image of a clock. such as, one with no hands or the hands moving faster than they should.

You’re reading books on how to live your life,
When you know damn well you will survive.
here we think it would be effective to have the lyrics appear on the blank pages of a book he has just picked up, he will throw the book over his shoulder and we will see a clip of the book landing face face down with the title of the book being 'survive'.

Aaaaaaaaaaaa
here well have these lyrics come out of his mouth.

I know you are coming up my stairs,
here we will have the actor leave from his bedroom and walk along the corridor and reach the top of the stairs. here he will see a variety of anamated things which will cause himto escape back to his bedroom (eg an octopus arm curling round the banister)
following this Bring it on… he will close the door and stare facing the door with a baseball bat with the lyric's slogan on it.

It’s a few years on, and I’m still inside
here we'll portray as though time has gone by (by darkinging and relighting the saturation of the room in editing (night and day effect etc)) and he will still be sitting in his chair. still holding the bat but drooping slightly.

I’m petrified of the news headline
he is looking over his shoulder looking at a cartoon news paper with something animated on his desk.

So come on, my son, use your head, it’s this neighbourhood
Aaaaaaaaaaaa
It’s the neighbourhood
Awoohoo awoohooo awoohoo
here for the closing scene we'll have him looking from the window once more with animated images and 'awoohooo' roughly schetched onto the scenery. he will walk away from the window and go back to lying on his bed just staring at the cieling. slowly the whole image will fade away to white, and cleverly cut so you won't realise the difference to the white of the paper, it will zoom out from the page, revealing the artist blowing rubber dust from the sheet having rubbed out the images, symolising the end of this creation.
