From the makers of the flamboyant likes of the critically-acclaimed "Afternoon Delight", comes a similar brand of music video sung to the 90s smash hit "Barbie Girl". In this delightfully colorful and fun-filled video, the same rules applied as with 'Afternoon Delight'.
This was shot in two hours (since I had previous experience with certain workable locations from 'AD', it went rather quickly) and edited in a little over one hour. The final product isn't as good or as thought-out as I would've preferred, but as always: it hits the target audience where it needs to.
I worked on this one without Ben's assistance and got one of my first real shots at showing my ability with the GL2, so I hope you enjoy it!
One friend or another gets these every semester for 4 years, so expect a couple more music videos before the end of next year.
Oh yes, Arktic, here comes the battle of the music videos!

Well, I'll be honest. I can't watch it with my slow internet, and due to the title and the garish poster, I doubt if I ever will. Ever since you submitted Afternoon Delight, I've found myself skipping your posts to avoid hurting my eyes from exposure to your signatures 
I guess it isn't really your fault though because you couldn't choose the subject/song...

It was Ok. I liked how enthusiastic the guy was, he was the one that kept me laughing. In fact, at first I thought he was you or ben wearing sunglasses. At then end when he took them off, i was suprised to see it was someone else. While the camera work wasn't inspiring, it definitly wasn't bad. I frankly didn't think about it, it just seemed ok. I liked the grading you did. i realize it was basically teh same as afternoon delight, though i think it actually worked better here. I guess it just worked welll with all the pink. I do however think that Afternoon Delight was much better. This one had its moments, and it was probably lots of fun, but its really nothing so special. Keep in mind that I'm not picking out things that were wrong with it, it just didn't really seem to have much to it. Yes, it was funny. But it wasn't hilarious. The movie was so similar to afternoon delight that it almost seemed tiresome before it started. I mean, it starts almost the exact same way! same location and everything. Still, i understand the constraints. My movie cave was almost embaressing to work on becuase i was stuck with no time, a crap camera, 2 guys who couldn't act for their lives, and a storyline i couldn't really change. Very frustrating.
