Update 7

Yesterday we finished work on a third idea. Personally I prefer this one but the others are also great ideas. We are in the process of writing the ideas up on a prezi that we intend to send to Our Krypton Son to pitch our ideas to them.

Update 6

Recently we have been working on coming up with some ideas for the music video for Our Krypton Son, who we have been lucky enough to be able to work with. Our initial ideas consist of a narrative music video based on memories the band may have from when they were children. We are also looking at stop motion and jump cutting though this would be very time consuming on our part as well as the band, who, I'm sure are quite busy.

Update 5

Today we experimented with telling a narrative to the beat of a song. We have yet to see the final result as it has not been edited at this time, though I believe that it will turn out pretty well.

Update 4

We have been working on individual prezis and are now beginning work on a master prezi. I am also working on a multicam effect to see if that would be viable for our music video.
