The Gathering Music Video Nearly Finished!
Since I got back from filming the music video for The Gathering's new track Heroes For Ghosts (free download!), I've been working almost non-stop on thinking about, structuring, designing and editing the video... And I've loved every second of it! Not only because I love what I do -make films-, but also because I LOVE the track! It's hypnotic, it's got drive, it's ecstatic and it's beautiful. And I think the video will do it justice.
Editing can be a very lonely job and you have to be careful not to become too myopic. There´s a risk you run that you won´t be able to look at the work objectively anymore, after a while. I was very lucky to be able to discuss my work with two kick-ass filmmakers, one in Hollywood, the other in Hong Kong. Their feedback and perspective were invaluable, so thank you Joe and thank you John for taking the time to watch an early version and giving me feedback!
At this point I'm about 90% - 95% percent done. There's some minor adjustments I'd like to make and then it's ready to go live from my end of things. So hopefully it won't be very much longer now! Stay tuned, folks!

I can't wait for a preview.
I can't wait for a preview.
And I agree about editing, it can be a very lonely work. But it's great, I'm an editor too so I can understand what you mean.
Greetings from México!

cant wait
I love editing , its a love I have always had , if its just film clips then I put on some classic doom metal for the sound track in my head and kick back . The part I HATE is rendering !!!! Now that's time consuming. Most of my stuff is filmed on a Sony vx2100 but I also love my Sony hdr hc1 for high def. Film school has also served well and working for Century Media records for 4 years has helped too.

the video
Thanks for the reply . I did the preview and so far I really like what i see . I have been a long time fan of The Gathering and I'm really happy with what I see . They are probably my favorite band and their songs , like their videos have a deeper meaning .

the video
All I can say is wow !!!!!! I got to watch the full official video on YouTube and you totally nailed it. You have made that trippiness in their music come alive on your film . I think that your art and their music complement one another and that's what keeps me loving their music and their videos . GREAT JOB .

Thanks!
Thanks Greg!
I'm so very glad you like the video!
Also very happy that you caught the psychedelic vibe I tried to insert. I feel the same way about this track, it's quite trippy and I wanted to capture that in images.
I'd love to see some of the stuff you've edited, so if you have something online, send me a link!
