Just a 39 second preview, that might not even be the intro to the music video.. if you can't watch the flash file, i have added a Quicktime file link...

Oh, sorry for expecting someone who flew complete strangers out to shoot a music video for a has-been band to at least be able to hold a camera steady.

I mean, you've only bragged about being the greatest videographer ever for a while. Hey, how are all those other video projects you started doing? Let's ask the people who've sent you their tapes (you know, the ones you won't reply back to).

worst review ever-




i took this writing class once and the teacher was a really sharp writer, it was one of the most enjoyable and worthwhile classes i've taken. and he said that without fail, at least once a year someone would take his class and they would write something that was an absolute mess. he'd tell them the writing lacked clarity, and it was unnecessarily difficult to follow, and the author would justify it and say, "but see... that's how it's <i>supposed</i> to be!! the narrator is crazy!" and he'd reply that that does not make it well written, at all. you can still convey craziness without making it a miserable experience for the reader.

that's not it at all. i know exactly what's going on, it's just not enjoyable. aka "the subtlety of a hammer". i was joking when i said that story from my writing class wasn't related, it's the exact same thing. (i had assumed that would be obvious) you're doing the "see, that's how it's <i>supposed</i> to be!! because the narrator's crazy! now you feel taht craziness!" where in actuality, we're just annoyed at having to deal with something ham-handed and unrefined. there are much more artful and sophisticated ways to portray unease
