Click to viewIt'll all click when the mortgage clears
All our fears will disappear
Now you go to bed, I'm staying here
I got another level that I want to clear
My skin feels like orange peel
My eyes have been vacuum-sealed
My organs move like a squirm of eels
We should be more adventurous with our meals
They annoy me, those who employ me
They could destroy me, they should enjoy me
We ate Chinese off our knees
And look for each other in the TV screen
The sun goes up and the sun goes down
I drag myself into the town
All I do I want to do with you
Every day I'm at my desk
At my desk I'm like the rest
All I do I want to do with you
On the city's skin they move en masse
Like a rash on the back of a manky cat
Now in I go, like a fool
I can't resist dipping in the pool
I watch them watch me, I watch them too
Across the street, across the room
I dress myself like a charcoal sketch
My eyes are brown and my hair's a mess
The cells I'm in at the moment will soon die
But I will be here
Oh, I'll still be here
Notes
Apologies for the overused song. In my defence, it wasn't overused back when I first had the idea...
Not much to say in terms of pretentious wank this time. What you see is pretty much what you get. Linear storytelling, out of one cell and into another. Not much fancy editing needed, just source footage being awesome of its own accord. The lyrics are quite specific, which was both a blessing and a curse. Mark's favourite is "manky cat". Mine is "we should be more adventurous with our meals", given the dialogue in context.
The only thing of note is the ending. I think the way the movie ended was the best option - for the movie. But I still couldn't help feeling like it's a cop-out. I like the book ending much better, so this vid stopped on a scene where things could conceivably go either way. Choose your own ending. Desperately wanted to get a frame of cock into the end credits, but finally curbed that urge, for better or for worse. :D
Audio editing isn't stellar, to say the least. I had intended to make one of the cuts in a different place, but discovered at the last minute that there were some tonal differences, and it would have sounded even odder than it does now. Learning curve.
Ah, the sweet smell of burnout. I'll be taking a break from vidding for the next month or two. Final term of the final year of uni at long last!
