I produced, edited, and operated Steadicam on this.

regardless of if you like angsty white boy raps, lemme know what you think of the execution of the video and the editing technique. thx

seriously though good video, great execution, feels like a PROPER VIDEO you'd see on the TV an all that. good work bro.

it's that level of QUALITY that it's hard to find things to nitpick, i'm sure there's ways to make it even better, but tbh you've done more than enough from my point of view.

I'm about to lose my mind
You've been gone for so long, I'm running out of time
I need a doctor, call me a doctor
I need a doctor, doctor to bring me back to life

video executed well though!

Pretty creepy for angry christian rap. Really well done. The quick/chaotic editing style fits with the song well.

Also, re: the song, this shit is ridiculous. Is Jesus the autotune voice? Ugh.

Notch Johnson · 06-12-2012, 03:32 PM

thanks everyone.

Ben actually said that being religious is really "in" these days. hence why he got tatted up with crosses and makes dark songs about jesus.

i could tell you some more stories about this guy but i'm afraid his people have already found this thread and i don't wanna be a dick

Much better video than song. Very professional, clean look. As much as I don't like the style of music, the video suits it very well with the fast cuts.

the auto tune is so out of place on this song as well. I don't get it.

It's fucking great work man, congrats. TECHNICAL DETAILS PLEASE:

- what did you shoot on?
- how long did it take?
- how much coke did you take while editing?
- what did you edit on?

Notch Johnson · 06-16-2012, 02:35 AM

- Canon 5DmkII, 7D, and 60D. (mainly shooting on the Zeiss CP2 50 1.4 , Tokina 11-16 2.8, Canon 16-35 2.8)
- shooting? it was a one and a half day shoot. editing time was around 20-30 hours if i had to guess.
- no coke but i tend to drink coffee and smoke lots of weed while i edit.
- FCP7, color graded in Magic Bullet Looks.

nothin fancy. we actually had this done MONTHS ago, it just took forever for the label to release it.

thanks for the feedback.

That's some decent 5D work then. I'd tell people it was 50% Alexa, they'd believe you.

Notch Johnson · 06-16-2012, 03:06 PM

yea we pulled it off. i fuckin hate the old gen SLRs though. we had some serious moire problems shooting those wide exteriors, and the interiors ended up surprisingly noisy (it didn't help that we shot a lot of the INT. at 720p60 which is essentially shooting SD on these cameras). but once it's compressed as fuck and put on youtube no one seems to notice. most people assume we shot on the Epic, which is nice. this was a no-budget thing so we shot with the cameras we own.

we shot the Tah Mac video on the C300, which is a beautiful camera.
