The Uncluded – Delicate Cycle from Ben Fee on Vimeo.
This is a really fun music video filmed right here in Portland. It won an award for best music video last year. It’s not my favorite song ever, but I think there’s a lot we can learn from this video. For one, it really plays around with getting extreme and weird shots, like the one from inside the washer. Also, the one from the back of the wagon looking forward. It’s kind of like a POV from the cat. I also like how it starts out, showing the band in the same position but in different locations. It’s an interesting way to edit. I think this video also has some nice examples of camera movement. Like following the direction of where the girls are looking. Or following the action of the cart in the laundromat. It also uses focus really well.
I do love the shot from the inside of the washer – it reminded me of a Breaking Bad shot. In fact, I’m gonna post on that…
Really liked the variety of the shots. Very creative and fun!
