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

    Brave man I will say nothing about the dad dancing
     
    Nice tune mix comes across well here and the video looks like you had some fun making the video.  Any reason why the cartoon characters all appear to have big heads.
     
    Thanks for sharing

    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

    OK, this is a crack up! Thanks for the effort and it's a cool song and dance. How much did you pay your family! They all look great, and the song hits the mark. Nice lyrics, too.
     
    You must have green screened parts of this - what brand of video camera are you using? It's pretty crisp and nothing got pixelated by the green screen - nice effort!
     
    And was this Sony Vegas, to go with your Vegas shots?  
     
    thanks,
    -Tom

    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

    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.

    Fun stuff.
    How do you like working with Blender? Heady stuff isn't it? I thought Sonar was complicated.
    I've been messing around with Blender and Messiah for a while, and you really have to stay focused.
    But it's cool when you pull off what you were trying to do.

    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.
