Reply To: “Blue Sunny Day”, a Spiff vid
The multiple, obviously unsuccessful suicide attempts were a gamble. I wasn’t sure people would understand what was going on. Thanks for the validation. 🙂
The coffin was one of the horribly restricting parts — the lyrics state unequivocally that he’s locked in his box for pretty much the entire first verse. Do you know how hard it is to find ways to keep a video interesting for nearly a third of its length when the main character is doing nothing but laying down in a box?!? Gah!
In fact, the addition of the cat was pretty much my attempt to add something interesting to the box scenes. I’ve grown quite fond of the cat, which I’ve taken to calling Puddin’.
I actually finished the video but then realized that I hadn’t given Puddin’ any kind of resolution (important for main characters like her), so I went back and slipped her into the shot where the Baron is blowing away in the wind. Not much of a resolution, but at least she got to see him go.
