My First Video

[LCF]

Just Starting it today. I got this idea to do a music video for Final Fantasy 7,8, and 10 to the song "Right Where It Belongs" by Nine Inch Nails. Lyrics are as follows:
See the animal in it's cage that you built
Are you sure what side you're on?
Better not look him too closely in the eye
Are you sure what side of the glass you are on?
See the safety of the life you have built
Everything where it belongs
Feel the hollowness inside of your heart
And it's all
Right where it belongs

[Chorus:]
What if everything around you
Isn't quite as it seems?
What if all the world you think you know
Is an elaborate dream?
And if you look at your reflection
Is it all you wanted to be?
What if you could look right through the cracks?
Would you find yourself
Find yourself afraid to see?

What if all the world's inside of your head
Just creations of your own?
Your devils and your gods
All the living and the dead
And you really are alone
You can live in this illusion
You can choose to believe
You keep looking but you can't find the woods
While you're hiding in the trees

[Chorus:]
What if everything around you
Isn't quite as it seems?
What if all the world you used to know
Is an elaborate dream?
And if you look at your reflection
Is it all you wanted to be?
What if you could look right through the cracks
Would you find yourself
Find yourself afraid to see?

I think the lyrics are perfect, especially the chorus for FFX. But the song is a little too slow for any real action sequences. There is a constantly repeating series of 3 notes, I want to do something with them, but I'm not sure what lol.

Alot of the FF footage, especially from games like 7 and 8, are really lacking in action footage anyways. (X especially can attest to that) So in that sense, the song sould work very well.

Hows the progress on it, anyways?

It's going alright, Premier isn't working so well. It's crashing on me every other clip I edit. I've got the first 14 seconds done, which is just a series of riffs before the singing. Sooo.... slowly I guess would be the key word

UPDATE: First 2 minutes of ROUGH draft done.

That's huge, took me so long to think of good clips for first section, then I remembered the Anima animation from FFX, and that went a long way to helping me out... Only problem is my video doesn't really have a story, just a bunch of clips that go well with the lyrics and sound.

Oh yea, and the project officially has a name now:
Elaborate Dream
