Phil, I’d say the video stands on its own without the music.  The reason I watch music videos with the sound off is that IMO, less than 0.25% of all music released in the last 40 years that’s made into a music video isn't annoying, repetitive, unimaginative drek.  I guess that makes me old, cranky, and persnickety about music that I enjoy.  If the lyrics are beautiful, I’d rather visualize them myself in my own imagination.  Consequently, I’ve never cared for the Music Video medium, except as a revenue stream for my colleagues and friends; but I can appreciate anything done very well, as in the case of your video.

Are the curtains that open and close 2D?  I did something similar a couple of months ago with some similar looking vector art.  I did the bending and inertia effects with the CC Bend effects. 

Yours truly, 
Holden Caulfield

Thanks for the kind comments everyone!

Interesting that you watch music videos without the sound on Jim - for me a large part of the enjoyment of a music video is the way the imagery and timing fit with and reflect the music and lyrics :)

Cheers,
Phil

Hi everyone,

I thought I'd share my latest music video which was created almost entirely in AE.
