cadet - ocean black music video download

here is a music video for a song off cadet's first record. we just passed the camera around while we were syncing to a half-speed version of the song. then we sped the video up to 200% to bring everything back up to regular speed. the video only took a a couple hours to set up and complete. analog video footage processed in shake. no computers were used to make any of the special effects (except the temporal ones). the flower-like flares are made possible by a lens filter. the "ocean black" that appears to be burning was made to look that way solely but adjusting the tube lag, by means of adjusting the sensitivity, and then panning the camera in a shakey manner.

the version of the video on this site is rather large and may take some time to load. if you have a slow connection, or just can't stand the wait, feel free to watch a lower quality version on youtube or vimeo.
