One of the first days of this class, I was thinking about what my music video would be about, what it would include, etc. My mind racked itself trying to think of concepts, and I was on the verge of despair because I couldn't think of anything. Then, suddenly, a memory came to me. Years ago, when I was still in high school I was browsing around a flash animation website called Newgrounds.com, when I found a series of videos by a user named O-Ovinnie. His videos had a very unique style and movement and I found myself thoroughly enjoying all of them. One video in particular stood out to me in terms of a music video. The flash animation was called "Days After Those Days + +" (I'll put up the link at the end of this post) and it was vinnie's first animation. The "animation" was nothing more than a succession of keyframes of what would be a traditional animation. More like a fast slideshow, but it was completely capable of conveying the action onscreen.
Then the idea hit me: A liveaction version of that video! Sadly I couldn't do a completely faithful reproduction due to the original video involving a wrecking ball and a rabid dog at one point. But I figured I could capture the essence of the video with actual people. So my concept is largely based around that: not quite stop motion, a little slower actually, with a lot of implied action and an interesting twist ending :D

So I have entitled my video "Days After the Days After Those Days" and I hope it will entertain people and make them smile.
