Final Music Video

This is the final music video. I created it whilst working with Luke. It was based on the book 'the man who mistook his wife for a hat', particularly on a section about a man who could form no new memories past 1945. The final film was put together by Luke, with the song 'Feeling good' by Muse added. He also sped up a few of my sections, which is why there is a difference between the final and my sections posts. 

I think the film went rather well, although we could have met up maybe a little more so we could discuss the animation flow a bit better. However, it turned out ok.

Music Video: my assets

These are the assets I used to create my sections of the music video.  

These are the animations used in the video. Luke also made use of the falling animation to create the parachute scene.

This is a background used for several scenes in the video. I created it using different WW2 era photos gathered from the internet. Luke has posted all the images used for this on his blog. 

I also created this groom figure for Luke's wedding scene. 

During the plane, jump scene, I made use of a small snippet of this video. 

During the first and last scenes of my sections, I used this living room photo for the old man's living room. 

Music Video: my sections

These are the sections that I did for the music video. I created the animations in flash and then bought them into Aftereffects to edit them. Because the animations were all at 12fps, I had had to extend them in Aftereffects to make the clips longer. 

the first section

the fall scene

For the fall scene, Luke asked me to change the fall to a spin so it could transition better to the wedding scene. It was a simple matter of rotating the animated sequence in Aftereffects.

the final section, with the woman with her hand on the old man's knee.  

Music Video: Storyboard

This is an updated version of the earlier storyboard that Luke made. I have added some more inbetweens to the scenes so that they are more detailed.

The man sits in his chair, and then falls through it.

He falls through a void, with pictures from WW2 flying around him.

His wedding, with the bride turning into an army general.

The general's face, with a zoom in on his mouth.

The planes, with the jump off.

he falls towards a woman's face, and as it unravels, he deploys a parachute.

More parachutes appear, which start turning into sperm.

The sperm then turn into missles. 

A boat is then destroyed at sea by said missiles 

A child's hand then reaches toward a woman's.
