Turn Back The Clock (Music Video) - Exclusive Advance Screening ๐ฟ๐๐ฐ๏ธ
Added 2024-12-03 16:54:57 +0000 UTCHey guys! Here it is, finally, the music video for Turn Back The Clock! ๐ฐ๏ธ๐ฟ
It's taken me forever to figure it out and make it happen since I posted this demo on YouTube more than a year ago. As you can see, the video concept has come a long way since that demo.
In the beginning, I tried very hard to make the morphing thing work. I tested it for maybe two months, but the results weren't very cinematic, they felt gimmicky. So then I moved on to background design, and after I got wind that it was going to be possible to create your own avatars using AI and then animate them using a video of yourself as a guide, I focused on coming up with a workflow that would allow me to generate the avatars in a way that I could then put them over my backgrounds and color and light them properly. It was actually a fun challenge, like building a real clock.
I chose 8 pictures of different ages in my life, 5, 22, 25, 32, 36, 38, 47, and then a video I took a month ago when I turned 57. When we first saw the finished shot of the animated 32-year-old version of myself, we were in awe. And the kid... well. It's a lot. But I think it makes sense for the song to be like this.
I hope you enjoy it as much as I do, and I can't wait to put it up on Youtube next Thursday. Oh, and remember, the release will be accompanied by a single. Have a good Tuesday ๐ โค๏ธ

2025-01-13 18:19:46 +0000 UTCThank you Jesse, I agree with you, I like myself better now. That's the point of a life well lived, to get here better than you started. But I also wanted to reflect on the song about the 50's crisis that most men go through when you have the temptation to think that any time in the past was better (which I don't think it is). Sending you a big bear hug and kisses ๐ โค๏ธ
