This one will have to wait for this weekend when I can get to a good pc. youtube is blocked on government servers. :(
 
Cool video and song. First video with CGI as far as I remember. Really liked the "story" that evolved over the course of the video. It went well with the lyrics. The dance sequence towards the end was very cool...
 
First off, the song is great. Love the solo section, it so fits the story.

The video is awesome. Lots of elements, a lot to keep the viewer engaged. Must have taken a long time to do all that work. What did you use for the animation?

Really cool.
 
Wow, is there a programme you can do those animations with?
Really nice, good song too, BR. Nice guitar solo. I'd like to hear it without the youtube quality, though. Well done!

Joe :):):):)
 
Thanks all...

The guitar solo is an old bandmate who decided to up and move to Florida about 5 years ago, and then a year later he moved back to Washington but still about 400 miles away from me...

All of our 'jamming' now-a-days is done via the Internet...

The 3D program is pretty awesome, made moreso due to the fact that it's free! :)

Essentially, you can download the program and many of the base characters and then they get you hooked enough to purchase some of the other bells and whistles... :rolleyes:

Most of the stuff is pretty cheap tho, and if you keep an eye peeled, they offer some of the premium stuff for free or at huge discounts sometimes... Plus there's a wealth of free plug-in stuff available through private forums as well :)

The name of the program is DAZ 3D and can be found here:

Careful tho... It can be addicting...

;)
 
Really nice tone on the solo - I particularly enjoyed the staccato beginning of it.
Vid wise I enjoyed the real footage better - but that's because I'm a voyeur fwhen it coes to people playing, their gear and recording spaces.
The chorus line was pretty funny though.
Good 3D work - I really enjoy anime, animation and such but the live stuff grabbed me more in your vid.
Terrific song, good animation & really good live action stuff.
I look forward to the finished version of song & flick.
 
Dude, that is really cool. The animation stuff is very cool and interesting. Very nice sync with the song. The mix of real and animation is cool indeed.

The song itself is pretty interesting. The solo is definitely very cool. :)
 
Hey Rabbit! Very cool stuff! I too like the mix of animation and live action. Great visual texture and it fits the video! Gotta watch it again--I loved it!

Tanx!

I have the same voyeauristic traits... My daughter was watching some VH-1 think about Alicia Keyes, and it stopped me in my tracks when it had some (brief) footage of her in her home studio... I also find myself prowling MySpace just get a glimpse of other folks' home studio pics :D

Is there a support group for us?

:eek:

Thanks guys! :)

I hadn't planned on putting live footage in when I first started, but some of those animation sequences took FOR-FRIGGEN-EVER to render... 15 hours of rendering for 3 seconds of video... And my laptop is pretty beefy :eek:

I'm hoping to try and finish the mix of the song itself in the next week... I'll post it up (sans You Tube) when it's done

:)
 
Pretty cool. I can't imagine how long this must have took. You shoulda made the chicks dancing at the end naked. :D

The video was okay, but I'd like to hear the song in good quality.
 
Dude, I am pretty high right now but if I am not mistaken this video and song are trippy.

If that is not what you are going for, I'm sorry. But with some more work the video could be sex supreme. The song is sexy but still needs some work, IMO.

Good luck!

lol Maybe I can post a NAFW version when this ones done... Render times might pick up a bit if there weren't any clothes to woryy about... :D

I'm hoping to work on the mix a bit this weekend... If I can, I'll shoot up an mp3 so you can critique... My tired old ears have been listening to this song a LOT :(

Thanx mang!

'Trippy' works... :D

Prolly won't turn it into anything sex supreme, but there's a chance of a nude chorus line number I hear...

;)
 
Very cool. I love the animation mixed with the lo-fi studio footage. Good song, too. I like that guitar riff and sound. The snare might have a little too mcuh reverb for my tastes, but taste is subjective.

Piss me off. My girlfriend is working on my next video using the same type of animation. Now it's going to look like I'm copying you. :D

lol I saw her work on your last video...

She's gonna blow mine out of the water :D
 
That video turned out amazing Rabbit, the animation and the live playing sequences work well together. And that little harmonized bit at the end of the solo caught me off guard-it's nice to have a little part on this version!;)
 
Yeah very cool stuff. The old youtube sound quality isnt the best but you did a good job on the animation, particularly that dance sequence. I like that riff too. Think I might check out that link you put up...thanks man

Thanks Tony! :)

I never would have thought about doubling the riff like you did there, but after you sent it to me, I can't imagine the song without it... It was the perfect way to head back into the verse!

You have a gift my friend!

:)

Tanx! :)

Have fun with DAZ... It actually has the capabilities to render photorealistic graphics. (If you have the paitence to wait for it) ;)

I'm hoping to have a new mix of the audio posted this weekend... But tomorrow = anniversary so getting into the studio for any extended period might have to wait...
