Music video woes

This is one of six different music tracks I could choose to make a music video of.

I’m finding it insanely hard.

Let’s go through my usual hoops of making a project.

  1. Receive brief. Yay! this sounds fun.
  2. Make first notes on what to do.
  3. Procrastinate for a while.
  4. Suddenly get a load of different ideas.
  5. Become spoilt for choice on ideas.
  6. Suddenly decide I just need to do it.

I’ve just reached phase 6, and I need to show something substantial on Monday. Grim times.

Basically I could just hand draw the animation, but it would take an incomprehensible amount of time (see this post) to make over 2 minutes of animation. So what I’ve decided to do is use mostly Flash. Back in the day when I was 14 when my brain was like a sponge, I could learn new programs quite easily. Now it’s a different story!

Wish me luck.
