Royksopp Music Video Contest (plus others)

<< < (2/2)

Jimor:
Well, I was runner up. They gave feedback to all the finalists.

--- Quote ---JamesAB’s piece was more musical and his editing of the automotive obsession juxtaposed to the grace and pace of the girl worked well and carried the simple idea through the length of the track, though maybe there could been a little more narrative and pay off from the girls journey to really capture the imagination.

I'm currently working on an entry for Duran Duran due Feb 8th, so I'll be bugging you all at least a couple more times. :-)

Jimor:
Well, they extended the Duran Duran competition by 2 weeks, which gave me time to polish my entry much more than my Royksopp entry... and they rejected it for not being to "official music video" standards.  :-(

I knew it wasn't going to win considering the quality of the competition, but I think my entry had merit enough to perhaps be a finalist. The flaw I knew about was that I didn't really have a "story" for it, but I believe I'm not far off in thinking that the fact I didn't add a gratuitous video filter to make it look "artistic" was also a factor. See for yourself.

Anyway, I'm actually far happier with the final product in this case than I was for the others, so I present to you anyway:
Duran Duran - Being Followed.

Meanwhile, some honest shoutouts for these videos. There's some fantastic work from directors all over the world, and I know that next time I enter, I'll have to step up my game.
