Summer Video (Nites)

I approached Jack about the idea of me helping to create some music videos and a digipak for the new songs he is making and he accepted my offer. While I would love to get to filming, Jack will be away in Brighton and possibly London for a lot of the summer holidays, organising a time to film with Jack may be difficult but could certainly happen in the last week of the holidays or so.

While he is away, I could still film some stock summery footage of parties or generally the good weather (if there is much). Since I can't be present for all of the time that our friends go out, I think I could ask them to all get various clips over the summer which I could include in the music video; Niamh may also have some footage as I know she is planning a July video.

The song I plan on using is Summer Nites which Jack made himself; I feel that it'll be appropriate to film the video in summer given its title and it'll help keep my practical skills fresh over the holidays. Additionally, I could reuse some of the ideas in my final product.

Jack's Channel

The song's few drug references along with the effects pedal used for the electric guitar certainly give it the psychedelic sound that I expect from the genre, with experience only with a few artists such as Pink Floyd - their album the Piper at the Gates of Dawn in particular includes a lot of electric guitar effects. Jack even has the album on vinyl which is perhaps evidence of the use of effects correlating to his music and at least mainstream psychedelia.
