In A Perfect World

Everyone knows I love music videos and thats essentially why I went to film school and moved out to LA. Everyone should also know that the music video world, while still alive and kicking, it not at all what it once was and is quickly dying, much to my dismay. I was taught this when I spent my first semester in LA and have pretty much accepted it to this day.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not giving up on my dream. I am however being a realist regarding it. So, I still plan on getting my camera package, a couple lenses, and flooding my youtube account with material, but that is still down the road and bit. Hopefully that will bare some fruit and someone will notice me. Fingers crossed.

Wow. What a long winded explanation to something that could have literally lasted a sentence or two.

In a perfect world - I'd be a music video director by now, or even a cinematographer. And in that perfect world, I would make a video for the following song.

It's haunting. Melodic. Touching. Deep. Really everything I could ask for from a song when I need to add visuals to it. Every time I listen to it I have the images in my head, the film stock I'd use, the color gradient, the movements - everything.

Best part? I would show exactly what is depicted in the song. Much like the Beatles Rocky Raccoon, this is a story in and of itself.

Give it a listen and see if you can picture it as well as I can - except with your own twist.
