New music video
This is my third attempt at making a music video. This one was shot and edited in 24hrs. ! Made for British band 'The One' which consists of talented vocalist Emeson Nwolie and Fair Oh's drummer Joe Ryan.

Role: Director

Very well done! I especially liked how you were able to wring perceived emotional states from expressionless mannequins. And the focus-pulling was spot-on, timed just right to the music.

And I mean, really? Mannequins watching Mannequin? Genius.

Thanks so much carson, we had a good laugh making it and I'm glad you enjoyed it!

I really liked this. When I saw Mannequin, I laughed out loud (honestly)!

I would be a little careful about repeating themes (the one shot of Mannequin was great, but coming back to it a couple of times felt like too much to me), and making sure that the sets match what you're doing. I don't know if the bedroom was supposed to be as messy and trashed as it was, but if so, make a point of it, rather than leaving a viewer (me) thinking, "Did they just not tidy up before the shoot?"

Overall, though, it was wonderfully done. Some of the details were spot-on (the false eyelashes on the female mannequin!), and very clever.
