My Stop Motion Music Video inspired by Lasse Gjertsen
Piano, Vocals and beatbox by Xarj
I was watching videos on Youtube when i found a series of stop motion video clips. People playing instruments; piano, guitar, beatbox and drums. The sound and video tracks had been cut in a stop motion manner. This creates a new type of video with very original sound track. Especially in the case of Lasse Gjertsen with his famous Amateur video. I always like to try making new kinds of videos so I paid attention to the way the videos were made and tried to reproduce my own version of a stop motion chef d'oeuvre.
Started out by filming myself for all different parts I needed: Playing piano, beatbox, vocals, hi hats... Transfered the recorded video from my Canon MVX330 onto my computer using Adobe Premiere. Then the long part, mixing. Spent approx 3-4 hours to mix this video. It's very time consuming and if you haven't really thought about your project before, you can end up with a deceiving result. I'm not unhappy with my video but I had expected it to be better! Let me know what you think!

Hey Brit!
Thanks for the compliment!
I can’t help myself from comparing my work to others and people on the internet are so used to greatness and perfection that anything which isn’t great and perfect is considered crap!
It’s like if you had dated a supermodel, it’s hard to go back to an ugly girl. (no human being is ugly! It’s just to make my point)
It’s like if you were rich, it’s a bitch to become poor!
As Einstein’s said, everything is relative! But relativity SUX!
Anyways, I create music and videos for myself and I’m happy with my work when i relativise!
