Group Meeting, Leelas

Zombies in obscure situations:

We create the scenes, you create the costumes and makeup. (The more obscure and creative costume, the better)

We'll meet up on Saturday and Sunday, making sure to block out time from 12-7 each day.

Tomorrow morning we'll post some solid ideas, and a specific location for all of us to meet up on Saturday.

Pretty simplistic concept pulled off really well

Cool idea when production time rolls around

Here is a little iPhone app that may be useful when it comes to staying organized in editing.

brainnnnnsssss....

yo i know yall are probably annoyed at this whole zombie thing, but forreal i think it could be really tight. i dunno a bout a plot or storyboard or anything, but the general theme of the track is 'transformation' and 'starting a movement,' which i think could work well. a zombie movement? or anti-zombie movement, like reformed zombies trying to do something with their lives? a life of zombie-dom saved by music? a zombies anonymous meeting? a zombie inc. board meeting complete with powerpoint presentations of plans for growth and development? zombies turned hippie zombies that prefer tofu and hacky sack to brains and terror? i think theres a ton of material here, and it could be pretty funny. and yeah, the zombie crawl could provide some great b-roll, despite being beyond much control. another thing we could do is hand out business cards w contact info at the crawl and invite anyone who wants to dress up in their zombie get-ups again to come to our show the 26th at the aggie in foco. we could even try and rent a party bus to bring any denver zombies down there. then we shoot the live show with us as zombies and we also have zombies scattered throughout the crowd. i think itd be tight to have some spoken scenes without music in the beginning middle and end adding a little bit of plot to make the video a little more cinematic. there was this guy michael jackson that did some video kinda like that and i think people really liked it. but, you know, almost like a homage to thriller but funny. no overt allusions to the real video, just the general structure and theme done differently and humorously. lemme kno if yall have any ideas on this or whether you think its completely ridiculous. thanks again guys. ease. dilly

Boards - 1st Round

Hey Guys,

Here are some initial ideas that we have come up with. We are definitely open to mixing and matching if you like things from multiple sets of boards. Also these are initial boards, so they are meant to look rough. If you guys arent feelin it let us know what we can be doing to get back on track. Our next set of boards is due on the 20th, and we will have more stylized versions as these go on. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts and comments.

Boards/Style My Thoughts

Hey guys, included below is my initial ideas. Please let me know what you think, likes/dislikes or whatever. Thanks!

Positive Movement, by the MTHDS explores the transformative power of music on the band’s life, as the lyrics dip and sway from past to present.

My treatment of their song involves three separate stages of development:

1.     Establishing the band in an urban setting

2.     Visiting the nostalgic memories which shape their perceptions, which

3.     Set the stage for their big concert at The Bluebird for their new CD

My style will focus on the disorienting effect of macro photography to create abstract and aesthetically pleasing video footage of the band, their instruments, old furniture and stereos representing their youth, as well as their concert scheduled for November 5^th. I believe that through shallow depth of field I can capture the essence of the band rather than the cliché and typical music videos currently offered. This is experimental in the sense that it doesn’t have a clearly presented narrative, although it does contain an implied narrative based upon the lyrics contained in the song itself, and the dichotomies created between the two.

Here is a video that Josh shared with me a couple of weeks ago. Looks like they used green screen with blue suits.

Notes from meeting today

Hey Guys, awesome to meet you today. We are all really excited about this project and the chance to work with you. I thought I would post my contact info up here just in case you needed to get a hold of us for any reason.

kellogg.tyler@gmail.com or 303.638.3380

We talked a little bit about the idea of you guys playing in a studio where there is a hurricane or other natural disasters going on behind/around you. We also spoke a little bit about an idea where you guys had floating heads, hands and feet.

If we could get a copy of the tracks so we could take a listen that would be great!

We also had spoken about scheduling our big shoot on the weekend of Oct 23rd. Once we have a few concepts and a little more direction for you guys we can start talking about locations and what we are going to need to get this done.

Feel free to email or call me if you have any questions.
