to be honest, i thought the idea, and actually the song too, were a bit unworthy of the nice look (camera (which did you use?), color correction, girls)

p.s.: just saw on creativesunshine.com that you mustve used film? cause it seems to be your philosophy (the reasons listed, i found a bit biased though ;) - the basic idea/script would be def unworthy of film , but if you got some to spend...

Way to give a face... Way to give a face...

I liked it :) it's fun and simple and it's well filmed I find. maybe a bit repetitive in the shots, but in the end it didn't matter. You had won my heart in the first 10 secs when the rabbit starting hopping.

how did you come up with the idea of using furries?

rolfek, June 8, 2006 at 11:53:41 AM CEST

Yeap I used my 35mm camera - three crew and 5 hours to shoot

The record company actually changed the song on the day of the shoot but since they were paying....

I was pitching myself more as a DOP then creative

The idea was based on the lyrics of the song for the treatment - "I don't know" was the chorus - so I created a rabbit character cause I could get a cheap rabbit costume from a buddy - gave him desire (carrot) then gave the out of work male model desire (female model) and did a Turning point three flip (Carrot and model together)

Took about 5 min to come up with the idea and 10 hours to convince the agency that the girls did not need to kiss

Too much time in screenwriting class :-)

Nice. I didn't like the idea, but it's definitely not bad for 5 min. And good job convincing the agency not to resort to the kiss.

nice infos. cool to have a record label nowadays that seems to have so much to spend.

though i dont know about you, but ive decided for myself to stop making the time it took me to come up with the idea an excuse to why its not really great. i don't think coming up with "praise you" took spike more than 5 minutes... you know?

as i said, dop wise i think its really good, its the labels problem if they dont hire a "creative".

comment!
