The second Buffalo Chips Solo Series social media campaign deserved a new video. I went a little more artsy instead of focusing on the music for the spring 2022 competition. This mini music video is to the song Bad Decisions, by Bastille.
After the success of the last solo series, The Buffalo Chips decided to do another one. Once again spanning across Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook, I wanted to make something somewhat different than what I did for the competition prior. This year, I wanted to make something a little more creative in the sense of how I used the camera and other effects. Instead of only different squares of me singing, I wanted to make something more in the ideas around a narrative.
I am really happy with the effect I got on this. How I filmed this was by putting my phone on a bike tire and spinning it around while filming in slow motion. This video took the form of trying to show snapshots in the process of a breakup while also going through the five stages of grief. Having 12 different sections to fill throughout the video, I had time to express each, however doing each while keeping the camera located in the same place while giving enough emotion to show each proved to be a little difficult. Editing it together was fun, though. Since the camera was always in the same place, I could easily match the spinning to blend right into the next shot.
