At long last, here is the video for "get that cash." I filmed it in april, with some help from matt golden, of matt golden photography. It was a very interesting shoot, considering I've only done a few music videos, none of them being rap. So, I began editing around the same time as the no relief tour trailer. What I managed to not realize was that I had never even seen a rap video before, so I had no idea where to even start. I put together a very rough cut, watched it, and hated it.
I then decided to actually watch a few rap videos. I hated them too. So I would try and get through various stages of finished-ness before I would decide that it wasn't right, and start over. Some inspiration came a few weeks ago from some indie rock videos. I then knew what I wanted to do. A rap video that didn't look like a rap video, but a matt dickstein indie rock video. I had my direction. Obviously, it's got some rap influences, the quick cuts at the beginning, a few of the effects, the fact that it's still a rap video, no matter which way you look at it.
But, it was boring. I needed something else, then I saw this video. And I had some more inspiration. So then I went through and added some embellishments to the video.
The final product was done on adobe premier elements 3.0. I used the "three-d" transition for the color effects used throughout the video, and honestly I wouldn't mind making an entire video using that effect, because I love it that much.
So, here it is, the music video for "get that cash" by 16 OS featuring Young Presidents. Let me know what you think.
peace. love.
matt.
