Performance wise what's done is done there is nothing you can do now to change that. But you can improve the post production considerably. First punch up the color a lot, next selectively add more contrast. Then finally upload this at the highest Windows media player resolution 2000kbps this will make the music video immediately look and sound much more professional and polished. Lou

Yeah, all I did pretty much as far as grading goes was do the color correcting.... I did try several different other filters, like grayscale, noise, etc., but eventually decided not to have anything fancy, since they just didn't seem to fit very well-- The purpose of this video was mainly to be a signature for the band using their debut song (which was not my choice, by the way). We shot in one whole day (morning until night), and didn't have very much careful planning going into it, so that's why you see what you see... (One of the main reasons I didn't do extensive grading was because in the power line scenes, anything I added kept bleaching out the wires-- same with the guitar strings in the warehouse) There were many things I would have changed if I could, but unfortunately you can never be perfect... Well, sorry you didn't like this one, hopefully I'll have something better and more well planned-out by the end of this summer.

There is an unrelenting greyness to this music video, due to the flat lighting and dreary weather on the day you shot the exteriors. I can't help but think that if you'd shot this at dawn/dusk it would have been far more dramatic. As B3N mentions, the final shots in the warehouse look really cool thanks to the lights, but the rest of it lacks any kind of atmosphere. A bit of careful grading could do wonders for this video, I think, even without reshooting. The actual locations are pretty good.
