- There's a reason music videos look strange. I could just talk about framerate, cuts and continuity... or I could get an actual music video director. And a leaf blower.

ain't a real music video unless youtube tries to help out the deaf people by putting the subtitles as [MUSIC]
Well, having [MUSIC] in the CC of a music video just means that there is a period without any lyrics and not mentioning that there is only music playing would make you think that the subtitles might be incomplete.
@@Pavlinka__ some music videos do have lyrics in them
[MUSIC]

Yes actually đ
I was once listening to Weird Al Yankovic's Word Crimes on CZcams with a headphone. Someone thought it was an educational video.
I hate everyone misinterpreting the lyrics to this, I believe this went something like "We flew a kite in a public place".

*This song never gets old. No matter how much I listen, I never get bored.*
CZcams legitimately thinks this is a song, I keep seeing this video in randomly generated âmixesâ that only ever include music

Such bathtub is actually a common set you can find in many photo studios.

the music directors must be so mad when they find out all their secrets and little tricks have been revealed... and those of us trying to shoot mvs (such as me) so glad we found an easy, free session on this :D
Honestly this just feels like a poem about the beauty of how an artist sees their work vs the viewer.
1:47 "This microphone isn't even plugged in". This lyric sends the chills down my spine everytime. I often feel like I am not plugged in. Tom's lyrics are just so profound. Truly one of the great poets of our modern time. Whenever I feel sad and lonely, I am comforted by knowing that I can always return to an overproduced corporate music video with dancing people made by people who don't know who I am.

I was waiting for the educational video to start. Then I realised explaining how a music video is made was the educational part

Good feeling when someone describes perfectly how you feel
To me, I was fooled by the title and must've thought it was an educational music video.

Every so often this gets foisted into my recommendations and it always brings a bit of joy with it.
Tom.... you have out done yourself. Awfully nice of you to be willing to jump in a pool in a suit..... it really adds the ambience and story line.
Love the part where you hold up the the plug for the mic. Wish you had been in with the dancers tho. This was recommended to me on Sept 1 2022 by YT!
And it's even uploaded in 21:9... in a 16:9 format. This video is essentially perfect.
Seriously, I started making a play list of music videos I've come across that weren't uploaded in 16:9 with letterboxing.
There are four videos on it.
2:05
Sheepy oh my goodness I didnât even notice that
Even better when there is an old movie, recorded in 16:9, then pillowboxed into 4:3 for TV, then letterboxed into 16:9 for modern widescreen monitors. So you have black borders on all sides.

I have been editing music videos for almost 2 decades to the point where I am suicidally bored with them, but never once did I ever consider editing something other than a music video like a music video.
... and now I feel a little foolish for missing something so obvious.
Well done.
just a reminder that feeling "suicidally bored" with something is a sign of your brain that you aren't using ur potential (this is always true) and in addition to that have either
1 already absolutely mastered what you're currently doing,
2 only think/believe that you've absolutely mastered it
3 need to move on to something different, probably more complex.
creative work like video editing is usually category 2, (your comment is ironically proof of that)
people who study this recommend outside output for the easiest solution, which includes reading, hearing, talking, or seeing someone else edit videos and then over time and usually very quickly u'll learn something new to improve your own work, which will cause motivation/inspiration and gets rid of the boredom.
