Loved the style of the movie...music is awesome as well!

 

[Andrew Walker]

Sweet video man. Really liked the look of it.

 

[Matthew Bennett]

wow, great work, for some reason I thought the flaming ceiling fan seen on a tv screen was really cool imagery. This is a great deal of lovingly 'painted' imagery here.

 

[Shawn Booth]

Visually great.

We were working with a budget of about $40,000 for the video. The directors Felix and Paul do a good portion of the post work themselves, but they've got a great team of guys aiding the process - names coming soon!

I've heard this song on the iTunes radio. You must be proud ! Nice job !

 

[Noah Posnick]

40k for that entire video including creative fees and post? Or is that just the production budget? Either way, that's incredibly cheap.

greetings eric

40k for that entire video including creative fees and post?

Yup. 40K from start to finish. The budgets for music videos here in Canada are usually pretty small.

how long was the production and post production ??

Prep was a few weeks, the directors had done some previz and early background work. The actual shoot was one day and then post production lasted about 2 months. The post would've went quicker but the directors and their team were splitting their time across multiple projects.

As for the grading, they handled the bulk of the work in after effects - not sure if they went to do a final grade in a post-suite or did most of it in AE.
