Like most bums here when i'm looking for a piece of music i'll go ask the youtube search engine, and of course i'll be getting fan made music videos, or live recordings done by some guy who dodged security with the camera phone, or god forbid, some loser who plays it on his guitar infront of their webcam to show off their "talent" and thinks anyone who even thinks of the words "guitar hero" should "go play a real one"
now, the point of this is fan made music videos. so much potential for creativity, yet folks seem to take random clips and images and paste them together to unsubtly match the music's lyrics which is boring and uncreative some examples of such is this
now does that have any creative insight or flow to it? it conveys the theme and meaning of the song but it just blurts it out, not represent it at all, a good example of this is somewhere around this idea
i mean sure it has pictures of planets and super novas and it's called across the universe, but trys to give the trippy, calming feeling with such images without just openly telling you "this is happy, be happy, yes?"
So please, if you make fan made music videos like these (i know some of you are out there and possibly reading this), please try to give some effort, i would like to watch them and enjoy the track and think "wow, that was really well done and thought over"
