Found this lil thing taking up space on a hard drive recently and thought it might be of interest to five of you.
This was the first attempt at figuring out the movement for  MSI’s ‘Shut Me Up’ video from a few years back.  Josh here had not quite gotten the lyrics down, so there’s a lot of bullshitting here. Never did quite get them down, which motivated covering his mouth with animated, black censor bars in the final video. Worked out for the best, I’d say.
Looking at this, I’m reminded of how much more I liked the effect when it was a tiny camera being used instead of the bulky HD monsters we ended up using. Â The higher quality HD stuff ended up undermining the desired cheapness of what I was going for. Â There’s just more of a spazzy liveliness to this little clip.
Might talk about more later on about the actual making of the video, but for now enjoy Josh pretending like he knows the lyrics while spinning like a jerk.
