Great job!
I am not a big heavy metal fan and yet I found the song and the video thrilling! It is a top notch production all the way. I have nothing negative to say. Beautiful evocative images, skillfull exciting editing, good song and a kick-ass performance by the band...I recommend this video to everyone whether you are a fan of that style of music or not.

All that head bangin made my hair hurt. Seriously, I really enjoyed it. The talent was excellent, the song was good, the scene changes from b&w to color were well done and the editing was tight. Although I (50+) am not in the video's target audience.... for what it is worth you did good!
Regard

Top notch. I am a big metal fan and this was better than alot of stuff I've seen on the music networks. I love that shot of the girl standing on the bridge with the traffic time lapse. How did you do that?

Very nice Ben - very nice indeed.
Can you tell us what the encoding specs were on the Flash side? - specifically the frame size (width/height) & the data rate to create your .flv? I'm assuming it's the On2 VP6 codec. It looked very nice and played well from the site - I'd just be curious about the encoding details/process (did you use the standard 8 encoder, another program (please mention & other capabilities - dual pass, etc), was it all true 24fps or 30fps, etc). I've been doing a lot of testing and encoding with the standard Flash 8 encoder - so I'd love to know more. Likewise, tell us what you used to shoot with with (HVX?, etc)? Also looks like you shot or cropped for 2.35 aspect? I'm a fan :) |

Looked to to me. I was a big metal fan back in my youth, so I had no prob with the music. Can you give us a little info on what it was shot with, setting and such?

Shawn: e-mailed you on settings Mike: I kept the tripod fixed, filmed the traffic at 12fps (sped up a lot in FCP as well), filmed the actress at 60fps, matted 2 shots together. Adam: Shot on HVX200, band scenes 1080i/24PA, everything else various frame rates in 720PN mode. CineV, BPress, that's all I can remember! The rest is c.c. and FCP filters...
