I counted 3 cross-dressing dudes. That's 3 too many.

Your cross-dressing-male detection is impressive, I only saw two

There was some dude wearing a polka dotted dress at the end.

I could NOT hate all the emo hipster dorks in that movie any more than I do - and I hate a lot of things.

I'm sure whatever film club for fake-sad emo kids they're in spent a lot of time and coordination on that - but that doesn't change the fact that I want to punch them in the face.

That was really, really good. I cannot imagine the amount of planning that it took.

Went to Montreal for Osheaga music festival and I concur with this statement.

Shit that song was horrible and those people have way to much damn time on their hands.

Hah, UQAM. Terrible campus, but great people. Montreal is a one-of-a-kind city.

This reminds me of that Rihanna's Umbrella lip dub video made by those Malaysian (or were they from Singapore?) film students 2-3 years back. The idea is pretty much identical. The scale of the whole thing is a little smaller, but I think the video clip is much much nicer and tidier.

I searched just now but I couldn't find it on youtube. I remember though when I watched it it wasn't on youtube but instead on their university's website.

Wow, lots of hate. True the song sucks, but imagine the time it took to coordinate it. And it was reasonably clever too, didn't get boring or anything like that. Props to them. Just next time have a better song

So they had a guy running right behind the cameraman w/ a boombox playing the song?

Let me know when you get something on Youtube that gets over a half million hits.

Anyway, the video isn't really that awesome. They probably just had the song playing via speakers or something and got 100 of their friends together and had them sing along. Cut out audio and replace with real song. Not that hard.

It's the coordination of it. Duh, they had the song playing. Wow!

Meh, it's just not that impressive.

Edit: Plus, UQAM students are weird. And French.

I could sense the Frenchness of them just watching the video. I had it on mute (actually, speakers are off ), and got 15 seconds in before I had enough of the Frenchness. I feel weird inside too, I hope it's not the Frenchness Sickness.

At ATOT, it's cool to hate what you could never do yourself.

See above replies.

half you people are idiots.

that was a really freaking complex shot. the logistics would be too complicated for you Doritos pooping computer dorks to figure out anyway.

so the song sucks, it wasn't perfect, but getting that one shot was fucking impressive.

Complex shot? Complicated logistics? Are you high? You grab a piece of paper and a pen and just write out the lyrics then throw random ideas at each lyric until they stick. Complex? You just walk a path with people set up in front of you. Is it creative? Sure it is, but is it complicated/"freaking complex"? No, it's not. I've seen numerous entries from high school kids come through the TV studio I used to run that were easily as good if not better. It's a neat video, but I can't say it's really jaw dropping. Though it does make me wish I still had the time/ability to get my hands on a nice camera and good editor to go to work. Fun stuff.

I take it you have not had much experience coordinating 100 people to do things correctly. It's not that easy.

Assumption fail. Indeed I have, and I've done it for the camera. It's not the backbreaking work people make it out to be especially when it's for a project like this where there is a lot of enthusiasms and it's not technically challenging or requiring much precision. It all comes down to how much effort you put into set up. If you spend the appropriate amount of time doing all the work necessary prior to filming, things fall into place.

Just because something took a lot of time or effort (or both) doesn't mean it's worth a shit or anyone cares.

This is a concept artists seem to have trouble wrapping their head around. A lot of incredibly low paying shitty jobs require a lot of time and effort.

I think you get this problem when parents encourage their children with "try your hardest" instead of "do something worthwhile, even if it's hard". The kids start to equate effort with worth, and can't escape that concept in young adulthood when trying to find careers.

The song is called I Gotta Feeling. Not "Tonight"

What experience do you have guiding 100 college age kids into something like this with no major mistakes? Taping your Aunt Milly make her famous Vienna Sausage and gravy with your handycam doesn't count.

 

[Glitchny]

not floored by it but it wasn't bad.

the most impressive thing is that it was all one shot, which I can see being very easy to screw up.

 

[Fullmetal Chocobo]

I can't stop watching this thing....
