What about the REM music video on the Discreet site?
Who would of thought some years ago that Discreet would be promoting their products with a video that has bad keys, bad compositing, no tracking, etc.Martincito wrote:What about the REM music video on the Discreet site?

I’m not a big fan of the look, but you couldnt have done that as fast as they did it on a desktop system.
when i see this video i ask myself, why they do that ? “hey we can also do bad things with advanced highend compositing systems” or what???? A52 is the state of the art for highend videos, but this one is a joke, sorry.

Probably because it was their choice to express themselves that way artistically. Just because something is higher tech doesn’t make it better creatively. In the end, it’s a matter of opinion.
Maybe they were looking for a “retro” kind of feel. If that video had come out 20 years ago, we’d all be amazed 😀
Bottom line is, like it or not, it’s got this forum talking about it and I can’t think of any other music video that’s hit the fxguide headlines.
I remember a seriously low budget “action” movie along the lines of Indiana Jones called “Arc of the Sun god”, hell it was terrible, the car chase sequences consisted of two plastic toy cars being pulled across a “desert” made of sandpaper by fishing line (no wire removal there). Still, I couldn’t go a month without hiring it from Blockbusters.
Sometimes, it’s seeing something that makes us feel “uncomfortable” that creates more of an impact than the overly polished stuff we kind of expect.TW
