Track Visuals

[patrick32]

Messing about with visuals myself but dont have a good collection.


I was wondering does anyone here do 5 r 6minute videos for tunes?


Nothing for tv or anything, just something online or so.

Hey, sorry for not being clear.

No I was just looking to see if anyone would be able do a video for a track.
Just wanted to see if anyone had samples of work.

I was meant to say I have been playing around with visuals, giving it a go, but I want something original and unusual.

Such as this mashup, but going to beat of my own track.
Random videos mostly what looking for.


Sorry if I wasnt clear.

Me and Steve (Magic Lantern) are doing stuff like that and in fact have used that very same video for a remix of current faves around festivals and parties 'Atomic Drop'
Have a seacrh around for the timestretchers on vimeo and youtube or try www.myspace.com/davearc_i (http://www.myspace.com/davearc_i) for other examples in a similar vein/style.
In fact the edit we did is on www.myspace.com/thetimestretchers (http://www.myspace.com/thetimestretchers) - third video down!

Just asking if someone can produce custom content for 5 or 6 minutes is a pointless question....

Yes many people here can produce content... But what do you actually want, its pointless just asking for any old content, its like asking an artists community if anyone can paint you a picture, again the answer would be yes. But whether you would like the picture is a different matter, or whether it would fit on your wall, or most importantly if you could afford it... Give people a chance to hear the track, describe what you have in mind... write a brief and ask for quotes.

Ask yourself questions... Will this footage work with other clips you have say? a single 5 minute clip aint going to last long in a full night playing tunes. If its for a music video for one of your tunes then whats in it for the guy sat at a computer for a week? If its for use online, what about copyright etc?

A small agency would be charging potentially 8 or 9 thousand for filming, editing, gear hire for a few minutes of finished video, then a music video can only be 3 or 4 minutes and run into hundreds or thousands.

Basically custom content can be a massive task, and I for one don't take on anything that's unpaid anymore, simply no motivation to give people hours upon hours of my time for nothing.

Obviously people here are not on that charge rate :) But the point remains the same, your asking alot of work without any talk about money, not even a mention of collaboration.

Even basic mashup pieces can take alot of work finding the right source footage, then endless hours of work editing it together to work with the track. 5 or 6 minutes that's really well synced may take someone a week easily.

Even a basic vj mix of the vj's own content would be cheaper, but your keeping and then using their footage, and many wont be willing to just give you their footage.

Remember that your asking people to do you a massive favor potentially, and asking strangers for favors generally doesn't work without something in return.
