Funky Boulevard: my music video

I posted this song a long while back. Sorry I haven't been in the songs forum for a while becaue I've been busy learning how to create CG objects and animation. I added some live action lip sync to the project and finally completed my first music video.
 
Start to finish its taken me more than a year to learn everything so far. 
 
I hope you enjoy

Now off to listen to some of your songs as well.
 
Nameste!

The extra characters the more cartoony ones with the umbrella's were created using a free tool and they tend to have more cartoony proportions.
 
The Dad Dancing? LOL I need a choreographer. I originally wanted to lip sync the first animated character to my voice but that will have to wait till my animation skills improve. Thanks for listening Wookie.

Thanks James.
 
Hey its a word!
 
Ignorantism is usually defined as obscurantism which is defined here http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/obscurantism
 
I will leave it to you to figure out who or what I was thinking about when I added that word to the list. LOL
 
 

Thanks Emerauldsoul. LOL The family did it for free and yes all the live action was done with a green screen.
 
I picked up a Nikon D5300 for this project because all my other cameras were very blurry. I had to set the camera to use manual iso and shutter speed. That really helped to get the crisp images I was looking for.
 
For the rest of the project everything was created and edited etc with Blender an open source 3d graphics modeling and video editing program.
 
It can be found at http://www.blender.org
 
 

Thanks Bapu!
 

This (almost) inspires me to write a song "Moves Like Riggs"

OK Bapu as long as I get super secret squirrel credit.  Oh and I get to do the dancing. r
Seriously I was more focused on trying to lip sync than dance. LOL I really do need a choreographer and more dance rehearsal.
 
Even my wife said. She wants a do over........
 
I will do my best to loose another 30 kilo and study dance before the next one.
 
Thanks Lynn Glad you enjoyed it.
 
 

RobertB I like blender mostly because of the price. I spent most my money of music gear. LOL
 
There is definitely a learning curve to Blender and the whole CG thing in general. IT took more than a year for me to get some traction on modeling and animation etc. Plus you can get distracted by all the stuff it can do and just not get any real work done.
