The Photo Album Idea, in more detail

hi there, my name is adam from the group here to discuss the photo album idea. A saying I once heard in a movie helps describe this idea much better.

"You never see pictures of bad moments in a photo album but its those bad moments that lead you from one good moment caught on a photo to the next"

It went something like that, i not that sure but it helps to keep that in mind while reading this to understand where this idea is coming from.

The idea plays a key point in the presentation and storyline of our music video as a technique to change scenes smoothly according to particular verses of the song. This method allows to keep the singer present in the minds of the audience while still progressing the storyline.

The storyline begins with the lead singer sitting on a sofa or a chair looking at a photo album, as he starts to turn the pages the audience starts to realise the song is about the girl in the pictures involve with our lead singer. Each picture or alternate picture takes the audience into a new scene of song, happy scenes with the happy scenes and etc. As the pages keep turning doodles and messages come alive on the pages, moving around the page. The song would then come to a close with the book being close as the girl in the pictures joins him on the sofa.


That was a very basic idea of the photo album idea in action with numerous things to consider. The photo effect can be seen in a cover of Air Traffic's "Shooting Star" by a previous long road media group, so we know its possible but remains a time consuming progress to make the transactions between shots close to perfect.

Another effect mention above was the doodles coming to life on the page, this effect can be acheive much more easily with a short clip of a flip book in action. Another method for this effect is using apple software "istopmotion" to capture each drawing separately before putting them all together. This method simular to the one used for "The Simpsons" is much more detail that the first method to recreate this effect but much more time consuming as a result of this.

Because of all of the technical issues involve with this idea, it remains a idea.

thanks for reading
