A Goal...

A friend of mine showed me this the other day. It's a cracking tune anyway but the video makes it really interesting. Right now I feel that directing a video like this-this kind of style, this level of technical skill, this kind of audio visual synergy-is a realistic enough goal to set myself to achieve in the not too distant future. Of course I can't say this with a great deal of conviction seeing as I'm only an After Effects novice but I nevertheless get the feeling that the techniques involved here are quite straight forward. With a fair bit of knowledge of how to use a high speed camera, careful masking and some solid Maya work a video like this doesn't seem too far off.
