. So I sit at my computer and start watching the Animatrix (I had listened to the Weird Al CD all the way home). The first thing that I thought of after I watched all nine shorts was "I gotta make a music video with these". I wanted to do the "Final Flight of the Osiris" first because it was just really cool. As I was ripping it
, I started listening to songs to decide which one I would use. The leading song was "Down with the Sickness", but I was only able to use action with that song. I could not have captured the relationship between the two main characters and the tragic nature of the whole movie. But because the song was long, I could have used alot of footage. I found some other songs that captured the mood and emotions that I wanted, but they were not long enough. So I started just looking for longer songs. Then I came across my dad's old "Classical Thunder" CDs. I thought, "Hey, classical songs are long, and they don't have any lyrics to constrain them to any one idea or emotion." So I started going through the songs and most of them were either really boring or could not be connected to the footage in any way. Then I came across Beethoven's Fifth and I knew which song to use. It was plenty long enough (almost seven minutes), had plenty of falling and rising action, and everyone knows the song so I would have a broad audience.
So this my first serious dramatic video. I put this together with little to no sleep. So if you have any suggestions on timing, effects, footage placement, or anything else about the video, just put it in your opinion of the video or email me. I will see what I can do. The more feedback I get, the better videos I can make.
Well, here is the link.
