When considering a music video for an In the Spirit of Music Videos post, I think about a few things. Is it anywhere near our rules? Does it look like it could’ve taken day to shoot and edit? Even remostely close to under budget? But sometimes, when even answers to those questions are closer to no, we gotta still share with you something awesome.

Because of this, here are a few reasons that I Become Time by Gordon Gunpowder is getting posted. First off, it was a school project. If there is one intangible thing we’re about, it’s giving something a shot and trying it out for the first time. Taking a new effect and taking it for a spin, kicking the tires so to speak. So the fact that this was a school project? Awesome, learning involved!

Second, this was done for the dirctor, Nolex’s friend. Calling in a favor? Yes, that’s often part of the Music Videos equation. But more importantly, it was collboratio! So it seems right that this music video is honored as a nice accomplishment. Noelx, we hope you got an A+.

About the music video: Weeks of planing resulted in recording the song in one night (10pm - 10am) and shoting the video the following day. The day of shooting was capured in time lapse (one frame every 20 sec). Done as part of a bachelor thesis by a friend of the band, director Noelx designed the font and other design elements in collaboration with Gordon Gunpowder, as part of his bachelor thesis in multimedia design. Type in motion mixed with Greenscreen footage.
