  • Inspiration: Music videos made entirely in front of a green screen

    Posted by Dino Muhic on March 10, 2009 at 12:41 am

    Hi,

    a rock band asked me if I could make a music video for them, completely in front of a green screen.
    I have access to a big green screen and also all the other stuff needed.

    Do you guys have some inspiration for me of music video which were done this way just to have a look about the possibilities? I’m using AFX, Premiere, PS, AI & Mocha for post production.

    I know there are alot of them in the internet, they are just not that easy to find.

    My favorite one would be Queens Of The Stone Age – GO With The Flow

    I appreciate all comments. Thanks

    Let your imagination run wild.

    Without knowing the song, it’s hard to guess what visuals would work.

    Perhaps: Get some old footage of trains heading directly toward the camera. Cattle stampedes. Tidal waves. Have the group “running away” from this stuff. Give it a funky, campy look. A high-wire scene over old New York with one of the band members balancing precariously over the traffic below. Performing on the moon as Buzz Aldrin tries to plant the American flag.

    Hi Thanks for your input!

    It’s not the ideas, more the techniques I can use in front of the green screen.

    Here are the lyrics

    Rev your engines up
    We roll ‘till chains are dropped
    Trample through the stone
    And scaffolds will be blown
    Away

    [Chorus]
    Burst in a flame
    (Internal fire breakin’ out)
    Distort hardest frames
    (Massive barrels fuel the ground)
    Lash like a storm
    (Impress a voltage on a fist)
    And gash like a thorn
    (We’re leavin’ nothing but a groan)

    We heat, tanks‘re gonna steam
    Obsessed with gasoline
    Stamp the road-block down and
    Dash on wheels through town

    Shut your eyes, tanks ‘re gonna steam
    Smell the reek, tanks ‘re gonna steam
    Hear the groan, tanks ‘re gonna steam
    Taste our rock, tanks ‘re gonna steam
