The Music Videos

A few have asked how I go about making the music videos. Rather than focus on the technical aspects or a how-to-guide, I'd like to write a little bit about the creative process.

As a music lover, usually the song strikes me before the images/clips. When I'm choosing a song, I mostly look for mood/tempo and then the lyrics. In the case of the "I'm Too Sexy" video, I think both the lyrics and music contributed equally. This was the first video that I used both still images and video clips and the inspiration for that was the beat. Normally, I try to time the actions of the video with the backing track and I wasn't finding any video clips that fit for some of the faster segments. I decided to try dropping in still images, somewhat in time to the beat. Overall I was very happy with the way the vid turned out, even though there are still a few minor errors here and there.

As and added bonus, Patrick Stewart has a natural rhythm when moving/acting which makes it all the easier to time the clips with the music.
