Lyons Township

Music Video

Entry Description

Lofty is a music video that juxtaposes some of the negatives of modern life (materialism, worshipping the superficial, consumerism, etc.) with stronger beliefs and spirituality. Ultimately, it reconciles modern life by acknowledging that humanity can still make the right choices, saving themselves and their planet.

Judge 1

Positives: Good topic. Audio clear

Improvements: Try not to repeat shots. Don't print out words from lyrics. . Show examples.

Judge 2

Positives: Good story and clearly told via images and sequences. Nicely edited. Liked transitions.

Improvements: Some images over used. Some camera work a bit unsteady.

Judge 3

Positives: Very good editing! Matching to the beat on almost every shot, with complex layers and visual themes really made this music video more of a holistic experience, especially when your themes came full circle at the end. I like very much enjoyed the message of the video because of it.

Improvements: Lots of potential here! I feel like you might have been so focused on the exposition of the song with your shots (hearing the word "awe" so therefore seeing the word "awe") that you might have missed out on an opportunity to get really creative with your shot composition! Next time just take your video camera out with you and film whatever you can! Repetition of of some images kind of got a little underwhelming too. (too many shots of shoes!) I liked how at the end some of them were reversed, but still, the same shots over and over becomes tedious for a viewer to sit through.
