Scroobius pip songs

Now that we have received conformation from scroobious pip, we can start looking through his songs to choose which one we can create a video for and which will prove difficult or easy

This is Scroobious Pip and Dan le sac's song sick tonight. This song choice we find interesting, we like the lyrics and the beat of the song and are considering making this the song we choose for our music video. Our issue with this song however, is that the song at certain parts speeds up, and this makes the song difficult to follow, this especially effects us we will have learn and be able to lip sync the lyrics.







This is Scroobius pip's induction pieces. we like that this song has a serious tone, and we imagine that the video we could make for this song would be a good one. Also we find that it is easier to follow the lyrics of the song
















This is scroobius pip vs dan le sac"Though shall always kill" the song is much slower paced and kinda catchy. we like the song and think its clever. our only problem with this song is that its a bit simple and straight forward, we are struggling to think of a ideas for this song and having seen the music video for the song we find our selves thinking of similar ideas, which is not good.

Editing to the beat

We were given the task of editing to the beat. We were given a song and various clips of people dancing and rapping, which we had to edit together to make sure that clips of the video would go along with the music chosen. the task proved to be a bit difficult as editing and cutting clips together was difficult when trying to match it up with a drum beat in the back ground, other than fiddling with and moving around little clips you didn't want or need i was happy with the end result.

100 greatest music videos:Jamiroquai-virtual insanity


Jamiroquai's-virtual insanity is a really interesting music video. The video shows Jamiroquai seemingly stays still as the furniture moves around him. This video is really good because the way it is filmed completely confuses the viewer.  There were multiple theories on how the music was done. It was questioned that the video was filmed on a moving track, or that the set was raised and magnets were moving the furniture. It was later revealed that the walls of the set had weels, and only the walls were being moved.
