One thing I would suggest in music videos is pushing to add more emotion to this piece through technical approaches. For instance, I love the concept you have and the editing is strong, but maybe have some changes in lighting and mood when you transition into the animated world a bit. Some of the shots with the quotes from your friends, for instance, just don't seem to fit with the otherwise interesting shots from the animated world you create. Keep up the great work and love the idea!
  • 2/21 9:48 am - This music video expertly utilizes depth of field, a diverse range of angles, and engaging close-up shots to captivate viewers' attention throughout. The strategic incorporation of split screens and animation adds an extra layer of visual intrigue, keeping the audience visually stimulated and immersed in the narrative. While the video's visual elements are commendable, there are opportunities for improvement, particularly in the realm of lighting and further exploration of depth of field. Enhancing lighting techniques can bring out more depth and dimension in the visuals, elevating the overall aesthetic quality of the video. Additionally, experimenting with depth of field in different scenes can add depth and complexity to the storytelling, enhancing the viewer's immersion into the narrative. The ending of the music video, where the main character transforms into a part of the painting and merges with their world, is a particularly memorable and creative moment. It adds a unique twist to the narrative, leaving a lasting impression on the audience. Overall, this music video showcases a commendable level of creativity and innovation. With its captivating visuals and imaginative storytelling, it succeeds in engaging viewers from beginning to end. I look forward to seeing how the creators continue to push boundaries and explore new avenues of artistic expression in their future projects.
