Dreams Like These - New Music video

I loved them both...I wish I could do video like you...I know this is all stock CC stuff but you've got a great eye and feel putting your work together. Now let me just say this...this tune is good w/o video but the visuals really take it to the next level so to speak.....I guess for me w/o vocals my mind tends to drift so honestly I dont know how a music only would go over w/me (that's my issue not yours so dont take offense) ...but together...killer..
 
great job!

Excellent song and excellent work on the video too .... enjoyed both.
 
On the song - what did you use for the drum sounds (very snappy and clean)?
On the video - so you took various stock videos and edited them into one?  What software you used for that?
 
Nice work.

Hey thanks everyone, I really appreciate it. I'm glad that people are liking this. I feel like I learned a lot about video editing in the process of making it... although I still can't stand  video editing haha, but at least I'm getting OK at it. But most of all I'm glad people are liking the track because this is the first piece off my upcoming second album, and I think it's a great representation of how much bigger a lot of the songs are on album #2
 
Most of the footage is public domain stuff I found at archive.org just like with my last public domain based video "Lights In The Sky" and then some of it (mainly the girl clips, there's 4 of them total that are chopped up and stuff) was purchased at videohive.net. I then chopped things up, changed the blending effects between them, added video effects and transition effects, etc etc. I'm using Vegas Pro 13 to do my editing (found an unregistered copy of Vegas 6 at a garage sale for $5 and then upgraded during a holiday sale for $150 haha. score!)

Thanks Shawn!

Thank you!

Thanks Gus! Yea the toms are definitely really fat sounding, but I was kinda going for that on purpose, almost a hiphop kind of thing. I might have to consider bringing the piano up though for the final album version since you're like the 5th person to mention that. Thanks again!

Wow thanks! So glad you liked it. Yea I feel like I really did what I could with stock stuff. Luckily the next video will be a collaboration with some filmmakers so I can give myself some time to maybe come up with some way to do something at least on this level next time I do it myself again haha. :-)

I enjoyed the tune and the video was a pleasant distraction, consequently I went back for a second listen without watching the video personally I found it worked better with the video, but that is just my furry subjective view.
 
Thanks for sharing.

I had a listen and was impressed as usual.  Very cinematic, and you do the style well.  The video was excellent considering your lack of budget and expertise.  Great job!

Thanks everyone.
 
Starise, yea I ended up buying a few of the clips you see here, just to further flesh out my vision for what this thing should look like. I couldn't quite make it work with ALL free stuff haha. My last two public domain based videos were all free stuff. I actually played around with speeding her up and slowing her down in places, but that actually made it feel all off and weird... I felt that it worked better keeping the video all slow motion based. At the risk of sounding too artsy or anything, it was kinda meant to juxtapose those crazy hihats and snares with slow motion video to create a cool effect... But thanks for your comments and feedback! I'm glad you liked it. Not sure about the lower volume in one monitor... That might be on your end because I haven't heard that from anyone else and I'm pretty sure it should be level...
