Would a heartbeat/flashing effect be considered overdone?
Song I'm using in my latest AMV has a heartbeat during the beginning in the end. Naturally, my first thought was "Hey, I should add a flash effect thing for every heartbeat."
Then my second thought was "Actually, that's probably been done a million times."
So would something like that just be considered cheap and cheesy?

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE tell me said song is "Somebody" by Depeche Mode...inthesto wrote:Song I'm using in my latest AMV has a heartbeat during the beginning in the end.
And if it is, then yes, I'd consider flashes a bad idea. The song is so quiet and subdued at that point that a flash would disturb the mood, IMHO. At least a white flash, I mean. Maybe a black flash would work better.

A good example of how to execute this effect is in VicBond's video Charcoal Sketched Dreams.

Actually, I'm using "Control Crisis" from The King of Fighters '97 AST (not that I expect many people to know what that is). Believe me, the heartbeat is an intense one, but the effect over it just seems a little too obvious to be original at all.
However, I do have to consider that the music was originally the "Riot of the Blood" theme.
