Hey Frankie, relly digging the vids even if they are from 6 years ago! Im not looking for just some character animation, but Im looking for the whole video to be put together using models that I can supply of my bandmembers. I can also supply models of the instruments. I just need a video to be put together with those elements is what Im looking for. Is that something you would be into doing?

I agree as they are shorter tunes and would make for musch less render time and trouble! hehe, see if Hourglass grows on you though, for us so far its been "hey, I heard that new song Hourglass and its ok"....then afew days later the same people write to us and go "I was wrong, Hourlass is my fav song! " lol...But I do hear what youre saying:) 4 Walls, same thing. But if you want to do Invisible or Bulletproof, thats totally cool with us! Super Heroes would rock as we're all Marvel fans hehe, perhaps something assigning special powers to each of the members! Live and 3D footage mixed would be awesome too, just have to wait to get some live footage of our new bassist (who just joined to replace our old one a few weeks ago) to get you that live footage.

How should we start to proceed? Any samples of your animation work online I could check out? I love watching rendered posted stuff!

Looking forward to your next post!

PS guys- If you already have some animations created that you would like to fit our music to, that would be fine as well, in fact any number of short animations that we can set our music to would be great also. Of course we would give the artist credit everywhere we use the video as well!
Thx

Hye both of you, I didnt expect such a quick repsonse! We;re not too sure on an idea for the concept, but it could be something like:

1. we're superheroes doing all kinds of cool stuff
2. it could be a damel in distress type thing
   or 3. could be a vid of a girl going through a frustrating day.

Depending on which song would be chosen there are multiple idas at hand. lets see if I can et a bit more specific as I list shorter songs, to make video life easier lol, I will talk about live video underneath these 5 songs, so keep scroling hehe:

Songs all available for listening here:

1. Inviisible  - straight out rock tune in which the person who is the subject of the song offered help with whatever her problems are but for no good reason refuses the people that are trying and remians "Invisible" to being comforted....or you can take it as her feeling alienated from the people around her.  Once such idea is to have an actual invisible character walking around seeing things happen and thinking, why cant it be me?

2. Against the Fallout - origgianlly written about a freind of ours whos boyfreinds just continued to be awful to her, they finally broke up which left her stupidly wondering if that was the right thing to do, but instead is written from the male point of view. Chrius being "What she wants, whatever, I blame myself for losing it all...Against the Fallout, Grace are you near?" - which to us means, in the face of all the horrible things happening at the end of this relationship, is any form of grace near that will save us from this madness!"  Now this doesnt have top be some lovey dovey concept, but can also be an exploding end of the world type situation, interpreations is up to you.

3. Bulletproof - song probably most suited to the superhero idea, basically about whatever life throws at you, suck it up and deal "Ill face it all in my bulletproof vest" being the chorus line. Anything along the lines of having things bounce of you like they were nothing would do.

4. Hourglass - Think of perhaps someone who is extremely neurotic and focusing on a particular situation. His thoughts are moving so quickly while he thinks (or she thinks) that they "run rapid through the hourglass), some slo motion stuff mixed with some high speed stuff might be nice.
    Track available at our myspace, www.myspace.com/finespun

5. 4 Walls One Window - This is a song about complete frustration and is short in length. It was actually half inpired by Prison Break as 4 walls 1 window refers to a jail cell, and therein that feelinj you get about being trapped with no where to run ina situation thats futile which you dont know how to lift the burden off yourself in order to get back to normal life.
   Avialable for listening at http://www.numberonemusic.com/finespun/

Now, as far as live video taken of the band, we had tons of vid we were compilning for a DVD of us when we found out our bassist wasnt doing the right thing and we had to part ways, we have a new bassist now and reaaaaaal shortly will begin the video taking stuff again. If youd like to see us live, Im sure I can arrange a clip or two to link you to (just let me know if you want it), if you want live footage to integrate into the animation you create, that can be arranged in the coming weeks as well.

I hope that answers some questions for you guys, let me know if either of you are still interested and if you have any other questions!
