Wow! Its been a VERY long time! I apologize for the long wait for a new video, and I don't even have an excuse for it. It was really just a product of my writer's block. If you haven't seen my new video "We're Done With You- An Original Breakup Song", then I suggest you watch it here before you read the rest of this Video Breakdown.
Okay, lets start with the beginning. I wanted to make this video seem as though it was un-professional, almost as if it was an e-card. This is why the video has only one continuous shot. I chose not to follow general music video format, because it gave the video (sort of) a hidden meaning. It also makes it look more like Reg and I are actually together. If a video was ameteaur, why would someone work on an effect like that? Well, that's exactly what I wanted it to look like. It makes it seem more real.
Second, how did I actually accomplish the shot? In Premiere Pro CS5.5, I used a 16 point garbage mask to cut the video in half. When I shot the video, I made sure to never cross a certain point. This made my editing easier. I didn't have to use a green screen because I cut the entire image in half.
The song itself was a product of an idea that I got at 3 in the morning! I woke up in the middle of the night and created a rough outline on my iPod. Then I used a special piano that plugs into my computer to record the piano track. I recorded the voice tracks a while later and shot the video just after that. I hope you guys all enjoyed the video as well as the song!!
If you haven't seen the video yet, please watch it here. Please also check out my Facebook Page and my Twitter as well! Thanks everyone for your support! Please share any of my videos to a friend if you enjoyed them!! Have a wonderful day!
