Puffin's Music Videos + Stuff!

**Puffin** · 04-15-2011 05:41 AM

Okay, I'm back from my hiatus!

I've been studying like crazy because I've had a lot of school stuff, and still do. But I've also been practicing making music videos - I have to submit one as part of an application process for a post-secondary school I'm trying to get into. I have quite a few movies floating around in my computer, and they were in HD so I chose to make some videos with them.

(To think my first post after a break is in this section... Haha.)

I will be posting them here once I upload them to my new youtube account. I created one a while ago but I don't like the name anymore. x3

Video numero one... A speed edit, done in under two hours so it was rather rushed. I like some of the transitions though.

ED NORTON!
Much better than the piece-of-shit 240p-quality one I uploaded last year.

**Puffin** · 05-05-2011 01:12 PM

I like this one. Okay movie, but amazing visuals.

**Karlitaki** · 05-24-2011 01:21 AM

**Puffin** · 05-24-2011 01:24 AM

Working on an Iron Man 2 music video in a few days' time... If anyone's reading this and they have song suggestions, please share!

Edit: I wish I knew how to fix my scanner, but no worries! Photobooth to the rescue! xD

A sketch (that somehow got horizontally flipped), took 1.5 hours.

**Puffin** · 05-29-2011 03:48 PM

Iron Man 2! I loved Hammer's little dance so I just had to throw that in there.

Anyways, this is probably going to be the last video I'll upload for a few weeks... Exam time.

**Oneironaut Zero** · 05-29-2011 03:55 PM

I love that Lamborghini bull. That's just awesome.

Can't watch the videos, because I'm at work. I did see the Hulk video, though. Pretty good stuff. Keep it up!

**Puffin** · 06-03-2011 06:23 AM

Thanks, glad you're enjoying the uploads! Here's a new one, Fight Club - sadly I couldn't get 1080p for this one, but it's good enough.

**Puffin** · 06-03-2011 07:16 PM

As promised to some Youtubers who requested it, I'll be posting a second Iron Man vid shortly.

**Oneironaut Zero** · 06-03-2011 07:47 PM

Just watched the vids you've got up so far. You are really getting the editing part down. Well done.

If I could make one suggestion, it would be to focus a little more on the song selection and how each video correlates to what's going on in the song. My favorite one is the Iron Man video, but I think part of that has to do with the fact that the song selection was fantastic, and you worked the clips in with the music really well. That it was theme music and not a lyrical song helped, I think. In the other vids, even though the editing was good, the songs seemed a little dissociated from what's being visually represented. Fitting the clips to the music, chronologically, is very important, but it's also important to make sure that the clips you use compliment the story (if any) that the song is telling.

You're definitely getting it, though. Good stuff. Keep 'em coming!

**Puffin** · 06-03-2011 07:53 PM

I agree, the Iron Man vid is one of my favourites. I don't want to get too much into the "whatever the lyrics say, the video will correspond exactly to it" because it can end up looking too... Well, I'm not even sure what the word is. But I'll definitely try your suggestion!

Yeah, it doesn't have to correspond to everything the lyrics say, but bear in mind that there is a huge difference between a 'music video' and 'random movie clips set to music'. Both can be entertaining - no doubt - but you definitely want to make sure of which of the two you want to accomplish. Incorporating the lyrics tends to engage the viewer a bit more, because their feelings toward the song are going to add more weight to what they are actually seeing on the screen. It's like with the Iron Man video - even though there were no lyrics, the clips chosen complimented the overall feel of each portion of the song. More intense visuals went with the more intense sections of the music. It's what ties it together as an actual 'music video.' It seems like it's supposed to go together. That's very important.

Just my two cents, though, of course. You're doing great!

**Puffin** · 06-03-2011 10:51 PM

Ah, I didn't think of that before - that's a good way to look at things! So in a way, I suppose the majority of these videos would be best classified as montages; clips on a linear timeline set to music, haha.

Thanks again. ^^
