"yo ryan does this shot looks right"
"nah bro zoom in and move it up a bit"
"aight"
"btw j-dog don't use tripod all the time and do some low shots"
"no"
"you can't have the shot like that, you need to have a close up"
"well then you can't see his hands"
"you need it of his hands too"
"no"

Basically I just helped frame up shots and gave suggestions on different angles and whatnot. Like I told the camera op how he should frame up the panning shot, how to frame up the shot on the bridge, to do a close up of the jewelry in the beginning...trivial stuff. I didn't do that for ALL of them. Probably like half. It was a set of maybe 10 people or so. A lot of shots aren't so great, but what can I say...

this was supposed to be in post 911 dawg what are you DOING bro

do you really need to post like this? it's incredibly infuriating because I know you are just being a moron on purpose and it's not funny

[ThugTears666]

Yeah agreed, I'm not going to comment on the video because you purposely being a douche annoyed me too much.

[big ass skelly]

Not gonna lie psyburn that was pretty awful but then I guess it's appropriate for the band/song because damn. It's all good experience tho

[jamie]

How is Psyburn being a douche on purpose? I don't see the big deal.

The music was awful and the video was cheesey and stupid but there is no way it couldn't have been with that music. My favourite bit was where the guy turns away from the girl and flicks his hood up...don't look at me in the face...

It's harmless though so yes like Mark said it's all experience.

[Cheshire Cat]

The music's pretty rotten but the video was well done. It fitted the song and it was well directed.

Felt like it got weaker after about a quarter of the way through though.

dragonx told me he was joking.

dragonx told me he was joking.

who is worse: the guy who says DAWG because he doesn't take himself too seriously or the guys who let that bother them and feel the need to express their irrelevant feelings to people who don't care?  opinions will vary but i'm going with the latter.

[Blitzen]

Here are my two cents, if you want them. I liked the compositions, mostly. Those were well done. However, I think that the lighing in the shots with the guy and girl could have been improved with a single soft forward key, maybe from a reflector or a lightbox or umbrella. Its not a lot but it would have been enough to make them more distinctive because you would have gotten better contrasts that way. The parts with the singer were well lit though. I know you weren't the director, but what I wish I would have seen more than anything else was the rest of the band! This guy is a bit of a wiener and can't hold my attention on his own, so the story needed to be more dynamic. But these aren't really your concerns.

what an stupid reason to warn people, you bored from lack of action in the forum Roman? Warning us for expressing an opinion toward the way Psyburn posts is ridiculous as hell.

[Roman]

yeah I was pretty bored.  still a verbal warn was totally justifiable so let's talk about this music vid.
