Ey mangs...Need opinions on my music vid I put together

music is pretty cool, but what's with the synth (or is it just at my end?)

video is also solid, although it lacks some atmosphere IMO
 
I like the slowmotions. I don't like the takes where you can see the picture as a circle. And like said before, lacks some atmosphere.

And I don't realy like the genre so I can't make any statements about the music.

Overall a good one!
 
Alot of the shots are a little long, and the vignette effect would make sense if you put some fisheye distortion on it.

More shots of the band altogether would be cool too.
 
Yeah, the slow motions are interesting but it really looks like it was put together without any thought. Sorry.

The music however is interesting, even if the synth is too loud for my taste. I became a fan on Reverbnation.

Yep. I am thinking of slotting in more slo mo, but much shorter shots. So there are less drawn out bits.

The end will remain, I'll have text on the video as the cymbal wobbles in the corner for album release info etc.
 
I think you should spend a little more time in color grading. The whole video could have a more intense feel to it after the grading.

I'll probably hand that over so someone who knows more about it. I look pink as fark in the middle swampy part.

I am a little hesitant though. I kinda like the "what you see is what you get" look about the non slo mo parts. Like the old thrash ethos, jeans and a tshirt ya know?

At first I though tOCKS fanbase had doubled since you added us. Then I looked and you are the only one, so my one fan ditched us.:(

Totally. Color grading and framerate manipulation will help a lot with this kind of thing. Also wanna try playing with lots of different angles and such.

This video of my band was shot on-the-fly during one of our concerts by ONE person with ONE camera over a few minutes just because he wanted to give us an example of what he can do for us because he wanted to do more work with us in the future.



This wasn't some crazy video camera either, it was a small hand-held Canon photography camera that cost about a grand with a $2,000 Carl Zeiss lens on it, he just ran around and did A LOT of work with the manual focus while he was shooting

Some of the shots in your video seemed to last a little long too (like, the boot-tapping the floor, maybe just one "tap" instead of like 4 or 5), but I think with some more editing and head-scratching, you can turn this into a solid piece!
