Feedback on Final Video


Very Graphic but goes well with the lyrics
Good animations
Slightly repetitive when ‘legs are dangling off the edge’
Overall I think it suits the song well, Good job!

More angles of the lip-syncing

I really enjoy the flash animation. However the lip-syncing clips seemed quite repetitive

Good mix between animation and real video
Editing could be sharper when music pauses at finish

An excellent synchronisation of animation with real-time video
I loved the interpretation of the lyrics
Jan

A few of the shots repeat a bit too much (dangling off the edge, stomach full of pills)
Lip-syncing seemed a bit emotionless at parts.

Video fits nicely with the lyrics
(good narrative)

Final Music Video



This is the final version of my music video. I haven't changed a lot since the last version but I do think it has improved a lot. The main thing that I have changed is the blood used when I shoot myself. I used Adobe After Effects to create a proper effect for the video to make it look more realistic and gorey. In the rough version the blood was created by using scrolling red text (full stops) moving from the side of my head. This was a temperary measure and if you compare the two effects, the blood created on After Effects is a lot more convincing. Another thing that has been changed is the Newspaper Article Shot used at the end. This was not used in the Rough Cut but I decided to put it in the final version.

Digipacks

CD Cover
This is the CD Album Cover. I was trying to give it a continuous effect by having an ever-going tunnel through the pictures I was holding inside each picture. I believe the effect looks realistic, despite using photoshop to create it. The blood on the wall behind me isn't as dark as I wanted it to be but I still like the effect I used. I tried to use a font that looked like it would appeal to an urban audience. My face is covered to give it a mysterious look. Since it is meant to share the same audience as Hollywood Undead I wanted to give it the same feeling. This is because the members of Hollywood Undead wear masks to hide their identity while they are performing. Most of the fans know what the band members look like anyway because you can find them on google, but it has always been their theme. I also put the put the "Perental Advisory" sticker on to make it look official, along with the barcode on the back.

Poster
This is the poster. It uses the same picture as the front of the album cover, only without the continuing tunnel of pictures through the board I am holding.


Info
The name of the band is meant to be 'Riddles of a Misfit' and this is their first album. Most of the time, the first album by a band is named after the band. This is the reason there isn't an album name on the actual album or the poster. I should have mentioned "Album in shops now" instead of "In shops now" and it might have solved a bit of confusion.
