Gemini as Tomorrow's Harvest Film Opening Titles - Video
Posted: Thu Jun 20, 2013 10:27 pm
I'm possibly a bit nuts to be posting this, but anyway...
The very first time I was able to properly listen to Gemini, was like catching the start of some obscure 70s late film and having no clue what it was supposed to be about... I thought that was fantastic!
There have been some great montage videos for previous BOC tracks with clips from other films and archive, but I thought it would be interesting to try something more specific and visually inspired by the album. I had to make do with free and available footage which is very limited, but jotted down some ideas and went from there... Some stills (NB: the first one is part of the logo, which I had good fun putting together):
While it started out as a bit of fun, actually ended up becoming a semi-serious thing with colour adjustment, keyframing, keying bits in, and recording my own RF static... I thought rather than leave this sitting around, I'd share it with the good people here. Video is below - please give it some time to load:

If anyone else has considered their own take on a TH opening titles video directly inspired by the album, in a similar (ideally a much better!) way, would be great to hear about it.
As I say, slightly mad of me to have even started on this... But I hope you enjoy!
