A video done for a school media project. Nice powerful ending. I drummed for the vid... it doesnt line up in some parts cos of the editing... but it still looks ok (it is just a school project after all.... nothing pro). Please ignore the part at 2:30ish where the song is in an offbeat groove and the editor had me playing straight hats! Not happy, but hey!

Jul 20, 2008 - That was SICK! You guys did an excellent job, and I'm really impressed at what a few high school-aged kids can produce these days. I like the song, as I was searching for a good version of John Butler's "Oldman", and I found your video. I still haven't found a good one of John playing it. The live versions sound horrible. You guys seem to have a great band, and I really like the video, as well.

Jul 20, 2008 - odessaboy: Do you really think that rock videos are always filmed "live"? If so, then I must tell you that most videos you see are "overdubbed", meaning that the video is filmed TO the music of the song and not vice versa, unless it is a video of a live performance. Sometimes the musicians are playing on a beach, for instance, or they are playing next to the Grand Canyon. Usually, those types of videos are "overdubbed", but they are still good. Right? Okay.

Jul 20, 2008 - For someone who is new to the music of John Butler I'd say you provided a good introduction, because I would never be able to understand what the lyrics are without watching the video you made. I like the way he enounces (is that a word?) the words, like "he looks out the window..."

dragonflysoul07 Says:

Jul 20, 2008 - never mind about offbeat and hats - simultaneousity is not great in many sequences - but the feeling expressed in the Video (at least to me) meets with perfectly the spirit of the song - it IS simultanieous!! Just great
