Great JOB!!! remember the tabloids!!!

This is a visual stunner! The entire concept is flawless and I LOVE the song! This band has got some major depth on all levels!!

I think the video's great.

In other news, look at all the probie voters. It's like the next incarnation of Jake Shimabukuro has arrived.

Great music, awesome video! The band kinda reminds me of the band Jellyfish. Another new band for me to listen to!

woohoo For Nikons nice video

beautifully done!

LOL Who is making all the sockpuppet accounts?

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag.(show it anyway)

We're watching this pretty closely. No sock puppets apparent. However, if we do find any hiding behind a VPN or proxy, we'll yank it.

That is incredible. Regardless of the brand of camera, that took some serious skill and patience (especially in the post processing).
Great model too.

Great music and video. Hot model too!

wow, JTZ would have an orgasm over this

Wish this band would have used the same great production when trying to record this song . What a waste of a good video concept on such a crappy song.

A dreadful but fortunately forgettable song. Definite upvote for the video.

Tags for this video have been changed from 'Nikon, DSLR' to 'Nikon, DSLR, fat city reprise, kasia cylc, erin hubbell' - edited by xxovercastxx

this is technically time lapse photography, so it could fit in *timeshift.

Boring music, boring video! The band kinda reminds me of boredom. Another new band for me to not listen to. The fact that it was created entirely from 45,000 Photographs taken by a Nikon DSLR, is not impressive. Animation has been around for something like a hundred years and still every time someone makes an animation film everyone goes: wow! thats so...art...like! It must have taken an eternity! you must be a very patient person! how many images? 45.000?!?! wow thats a large number. you must be able to count very far.

sorry. Hope noone got personally offended.

Seventeen members all joined about two days ago, and all of them have voted on this video and no others. What's that all about?

You honestly accusing Dag of sock puppetry? Entirely possible this band has 17 fans with access to Google, you know... I first came here for no other reason than a particular video was listed on BluesNews, which at last count, had well over 26 (used to 27 but one guy got grounded) viewers.


Me, I'm more disturbed about a video seemingly suggesting a girl getting gang raped by shaped pillows.

The song and video are equally amazing!! This band is tremendously talented. I think the video is a perfect reflection of the meaning of the song as well. The timelaps was a great way to highlight this girls transition from innocence to her eventual collapse to her inner demons. Great work, look forward to seeing more from these guys!!

"Me, I'm more disturbed about a video seemingly suggesting a girl getting gang raped by shaped pillows." -Payback

Hey rocket scientist - it's a song about heroin addiction... not gang rape. Glad to see you paid attention before giving your seemingly insightful comment.

this is great! and the song is amazing

Love, love, love it all!! Great video, amazing song. Can't wait to hear more!

*discuss

sock puppets at work.

and in addition to the already mentioned.. in my experience this normally wouldn't get as many votes as it has.

i would hate to see the sift become a viral shithouse.

i was suspicious of all those sia videos that got sifted recently too.

This video is being sent to Sift Talk for discussion - discuss requested by pipp3355.

ok. just did some investigating.

first of all - Dag - fairplay for saying that u were emailed by the video creator. can i ask - why did they email you?

second of all - this band is actively telling its fans to come to videosift and upvote the video. here's an example from their myspace:

Hey we really need your help!!! Our first music video was just released and has been making a lot of noise due to the fact that no video cameras were used in making this video. It was all done on a still shot HD camera...over 45,000 still shots...So please click the link below and vote for our video! It would mean so much to us! Much Love!

overall, i'm not sure if any rule breaking is going on here.. but i don't think the high vote score gives a true representation of the video sift quality control process. for example, an eyeball estimate of probie voters is about 80%.

i really don't want videosift to go in this direction. can anyone else throw an amen at that for me? what about members who have been around the sift longer than i have (bout 2/3 years) - what do u think?

^ Well that explains it. Thanks pipp. Amen!

by the way i don't want to start an argument - i think dag should sift anything he wants to, just like any other sifter. what i'm trying to say is - i really care about the sift. i love this website. i know it. firefox knows it. my facebook friends know it. the reason i love it is because the voting process literally sifts the videos - it works really well when most of the people voting are people who love videos.

but it stops working when most of the people voting have been solicited to vote for a particular video.

hmm.. ok.. so that's my problem. here's my solution: introduce voting restrictions, or weighted voting for probies. for example, a probie vote is woth 50% of a gold star vote.

Some nice photos but not not really a satisfactory animation and indeed just standard poprock.

yeah. agreed. Lyckans Undulat is a much better sift. i wonder if i'd mind so much about the probie stuff if this was actually good quality / something i liked???

Well, that settles it. Maybe you forgot to do this. *return

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag.(show it anyway)

I thought it was a pretty decent video - and I liked the DSLR aspect and the singer is my brother. (just kidding). No, we encourage people to email us if they have something that they think would do well here - it's in the FAQ.

Someone want to tell the probies that no prize is on offer here? And that getting existing fans to vote for their video does absolutely nothing than meddle with Videosift?

Not bothered myself but a pointless activity. I'd work on improving the music first.

It doesn't amaze me that this was done with 45K stills instead of a video camera. What is a fast-action camera, if not a stop-motion video camera? It's basically a cartoon in 3D.

And the music is not interesting. Bands shouldn't be railing against drugs, they should be ingesting them before they enter the recording studio.

Downvote for both of those reasons.

^for once, I agree with you.

Lame song. Downvote for that reason and the artificially inflated nature of the vote count.

boring, bland song.

I'm at the end of my rope. Downvote, even if the three banned votes pretty much cancel it out.
