Found this video and I got the idea of having someone dress up as Sonic and run around Manchester, collecting rings.
For a viral video that will live online and gets others to their own video to celebrate Sonic's 20th anniversary during the whole year doing anything to do with Sonic like draw, dress up, make their own costume, make a model, create a short animation, comic strip etc... & by the end have thousands of video's and thousands of people celebrating Sonic.
I like how they have created a short animation in the style of a storyboard made film cell movement in the speed of a car moving. At the end when the camera zooms out to reveal that the images are on the wall beside the moving vehicle that the images present, I thought this was genius to be honest with using the storyboard; something as obvious in front of you while you work on the project and being able to create the craziest/fun idea and incorporating it in the final piece.
Looking at some old adverts on youtube, the John West ads made me laugh but they also gave me an idea on the salmon jumping until reaching their goal.
Making goals is one of the core ideas I have after asking people from all over the same question which they answered and most have said making goals and achieving them.
Looking at this John West advert above I remembered the new Weetabix marathon advert. With a similar idea but different humour with the witty carefree banter whilst winning a marathon.
After watching the new video Nightmare from Avenged Sevenfold (A7X). I started to mess about in photoshop and came up with this image seen below. My idea was that the pieces of film being ripped and analyzed in the same manner as if a patient has taken apart and tried to re-edit the footage leaving scraps behind on a light-box.
The idea behind the music video is living an actual Nightmare. As the lead singer, M. Shadows (Matthew Sanders) is being pulled through halls, he notices the deceased drummer, The Rev (Jimmy Sullivan) torn down drum kit which he used during the 'City of Evil' tour. He then see's lead guitarist Synyster Gates (Brian Haner Jr.) bashing his head against the window, Rhythm guitarist Zacky Vengeance (Zachary Baker), once in a fetal position on the floor and another time waltzing with a fake skeleton, and bassist Johnny Christ (Jonathan Seward) crawling above Shadows. Near the end of the video he is led by two boys to a room, where the last drum set The Rev ever played live with the band is set up.
There are some references from previous music video's the band has done over the years, like the tarantula crawling across the drum kits was shown in the video 'Afterlife' however the tarantula was crawling along The Rev's face. Another reference from the same video is where Zacky is waltzing with his girlfriend rather than with the fake skeleton. Also there is a smaller reference from their music video 'Bat Country' where the faces of the patients are being stretched and the priest from the music video 'Seize the Day'.
The video is based off/influenced by the film Jacob's ladder with the hospital scene. (Said to be one of the Jimmy's favourite movies). Similarities like the torn down drum kit in the music video is the broken bicycle in one of the rooms. The girl in the fetal position on the floor is similar to the way Zacky is in the video. The crawling patient on top is similar to Johnny as he does the same. The blood on the floor.
The Video was shot using high-end cameras which shoot 1,000 frames per second and are contrasted with traditional 35 mm hand crank camera equipment.
There are two versions of the video. One uses the album version of the song, whilst the other uses a much shorter version of the song. On YouTube one of the many videos of the song had gained over 17 million views, before it was removed in December due to a dispute between Roadrunner Records' distributor, Warner Music Group, and YouTube.
Stone Sour - Through glass Directed - Tony Petrossian
Stone Sour's clever new video for the radio hit "Through Glass" takes a super-ironic dig at all things plastic and transparent in the not-so-mythical land of 'Hollowood'.
I love how Tony Petrossian portrayed this in a way to make the audience connected to the message and make them realize that Hollywood is just a place where people want to belong but have to be fake to do so.
Avenged Sevenfold - Beast And The Harlot Directed - Tony Petrossian
One of my favourite bands, this song is pretty dark when you take it apart but yeah i like the style of the video and the quirkiness to it.
Stone Sour and Avenged Sevenfold are due to do a co-headlining UK tour in October and November.
The idea behind my Dorito is that there is a couple at the cinema who are actually Doritos.
I was playing with the idea that Doritos are like cinema snacks and that outside the actual bag they are really at the cinema and the music you hear is the actual film. I found you can slightly see through the bag if you shine a light to it or is directed near light, so the doritos were watching the film as well.
I also played with the idea of having that annoying person always asking questions about the film they are watching and never shutting up and just enjoy it, or disturbing people as they try and enjoy the film aswell.
In our final piece you will be able to hear violin music playing softly in the background Also the sounds of a match being lit and wine glassing clinging together then there will be a female voice over near the end saying "What ever you do, do it well" and some outside noise.
I got the idea of a couple dressed in formal wear in a small dingy cafe when I went to a Fast Food restaurant and saw two people dressed in formal wear one night and thought it was a nice twist in things and tried to portray that in this 15 second clip.
For this brief I looked into the style in which I wish to answer it. on Youtube I stumbled across this channel called the realannoyingorange.
I decided to mix stop motion and live action. The live action is the mouth and the eyes, and the Stop motion is the Dorito itself.
However with the annoying orange the person who created it only used live action, the orange it self does not move during his sketches however the mouth and eyes do. he duplicates one of the eyes instead of using both.
I chose to use both eyes. Using stop motion for this is proven difficult with matching the faces with the actual Doritos as they moved.
I also looked into MightBoosh's character "The Moon" as a reference to a similar style.
Thinking of using 10 seconds of this video in my ident. There is really good bit near the beginning before the chorus kicks in which I could use. I think it might be really effective.
