Title: new contest entry: "Rock 'n' Roll Dreams'll Come Through"
Post by: Denim Gremlin on September 05, 2007, 11:19:02 PM
A music video for Ted Leo's cover of "Rock 'n' Roll Dreams'll Come Through".

I originally conceived of it as live action with actors but that didn't really work out, so i just did it D.I.Y. in my basement.

This was awesome Colin.  I think your video will make me cry.  It actually helped me understand the narrative flow and the character connections a lot more.

that was fan-freakin-tastic!

The style reminded me of those short films that would play as in-betweens during Sesame Street back in the 70s.

This is excellent. 



You people with "talents" make me a little sick though.

Awesome, Colin!  My favorite touch is the aircraft stickers on the notebook.

I am downgrading it to an A+++ and a smiley face sticker with a thumbs up. "If your [sic] one of the chosen few."

Oh, I'm just teasing! Well done, sir!

You know, Laurie, I was going to add an asterisk for that error, but then I decided "your" was perfectly suited to Mr. Dworkin's masterpiece.

haha oops!

I wish I could say it was intentional. Oh well, the chorus was the last thing I shot so I was pretty tired by that point. Simple mistake, don't let it ruin it for you!

That wasn't a possibility.  Yours is perhaps my favorite entry thus far.

WOW. Greatest song ever now has the greatest video ever. Eat some poop, OKGo treadmill video.

My favorite part is the tongues on Ted and Tom that look like the little "M" birds little kids draw. GENIUS. People in film school, quit now, you've wasted your money -- go into your basement with a sharpie and a notebook.

Richard Lester is American.

but he is widely regarded as a British filmmaker because he did a lot of his work there.

I'll take the compliment. thank you

Richard Lester is American.


It was actually a reference to the Gas Station Dogs, though I got it wrong - it should have read "America's Richard Lester."

I understood, I was just trying to be a snob. I'm sorry.

but speaking of Richard Lester, he is so under appreciated. Widely considered the destroyer of the superman franchise (seriously though, who gives a S-hit?), he has so much more to offer.

You know what, I was going to mention that! I agree and take back what I said. A++++ and a gold star AND a smiley face AND a Garfield sticker.

Very impressive, and a lot of work, I'm sure.  And I love how you snuck in the BS&T LP, a nod to the infamous Dick Halligan Jr debackle?  I really enjoyed it.
