Mac OSX Music Video

dennisaliu · May 9, 2008, 10:01 PM

Hey everyone,

I'm a VERY frequent lurker I guess, filmmaker and huge Mac fan.

I just shot a music video that takes place on the Mac OSX desktop. It's really cool... It uses the Mac OSX template as a canvas. Watch it and you'll see what I mean. Please link it up if you're a Mac fan!!! =) I promise you won't be disappointed (because I wasted 3 months of my life making it hahaha)

Hey, it's a great video, but you'll get downvoted there if you double post threads here.

People will see your thread; it's called the Forum Spy.

dennisaliu · May 9, 2008, 10:37 PM

cool thanks! well, i hope people give it a good rating because I honestly started the video using tiger and if you look closely it switches to leopard... lol, because my friggin' powerbook broke halfway through.

also, some fun continuity errors... watch the dock... hahahaha.... good times.

anim8or · May 10, 2008, 06:26 AM

I love your vid, its awesome!!!

I know how much work you will have put in there and i think you have made one of the best music vids i have seen in a long time!

Do you have a quicktime of it at a decent resolution that you could post, i'd love a copy, i would rip th eyoutube one but the quality of youtube grabs aren't great IMHO.

ergdegdeg · May 10, 2008, 06:36 AM

Wow, this is awesome. Really creative.
I hope you work / will work in this field. Otherwise your whole lot of talent would be wasted.

Southernboy · May 10, 2008, 06:41 AM

Simply stunning. Imagine that on MTV. (Nice song as well).

Brandon3003 · May 10, 2008, 07:43 AM

Holy **** dude.. I would hardly consider that 3 months wasted. That turned out really good!

richthomas · 09:17 AM

WOW! that was really cool! i really like the Photoshop and iPhoto parts.

whos the girl singing? is that you? your girlfriend? the artist? cause shes really hot and syncs very well to the video. it almost seems as if shes in front of the iSight (thats if its not you or your girlfriend).

BlakTornado · May 10, 2008, 09:14 AM

Great work! Seriously!

Well done

EvanLugh · 10:29 AM
