LCD Soundsystem - All My Friends

YouTube
DailyMotion

So this here is a shot-for-single-shot remake of LCD Soundsystem's 2007 music video for 'All My Friends.' This is part exercise in lip-syncing and digital effects, part tribute to the band that no longer is. It's pretty darn close to the original music video.

I shot the physical elements with a Nikon D50 and the 55mm Micro-Nikkor lens. Compositing and effects were done in After Effects CS5, while the face and mouth shapes were designed in Illustrator CS5.

Crazy. I was just watching this on your channel, and then you came to BiM and posted it. Anyway, great work, amazing as usual.

This is a pretty cool video on a technical level, the lighting effects are very convincing.   All the work with the mirror effects must have been a headache.  Good to see something new from you!

Are you saying 'boo' or 'Boo-urns'?

Re: LCD Soundsystem - All My Friends

Awesomesauce. Great music video and great animation! I liked the piano especially.

So yeah, I'm back from my mind.

Re: LCD Soundsystem - All My Friends

I am curious how there's already links to the song (Amazon and iTunes) already on the video.  Is that Youtube's doing or did you make arrangements?

Re: LCD Soundsystem - All My Friends

Youtube figured it out, moments after I uploaded the video. Perhaps it recognized the song title, or they have software that can scan and identify music that quickly. I'm guessing the latter.

Re: LCD Soundsystem - All My Friends

Yup, they scan the video with software as Asteroid said.  It even does this if a song is only in part of the video, I think it was part of YouTube's concessions to some of the big record companies a while back. It also disables the video from being viewed in some countries for certain music.

I'm a little disappointed this hasn't gotten more views than it has. I feel like if you made the right kind of community or blog aware of it there would be at least some small-scale viral potential here.

Pretty great effects. mini/smile
Beyond anything I know how to do. xD
I especially enjoyed the moving camera.

Hey, Smeagol, maybe you should give it a YouTube Like. mini/smile
One like from you is sure to give it some views.

This. Like a fan site tribute to LCD Soundsystem. I'm sure they would go nuts over your video.
Protowrxs usually contacted the artist after making a music video of a song.
He actually received high praise from several artists and an honorable mention on their websites.
Hey, it couldn't hurt. Give it a shot.

This song is going to be stuck in my head...all...week...long.

The same goes for me. xD

Also, I watched the music original video, and I really am quite impressed by how fantastically similar your LEGO version is. mini/what
Everything is just so spot on! Especially the facial expressions, perfectly matching the guy. And the lens flares where exactly the same.

Seriously, this is probably the most accurate recreation of another thing into LEGO I have ever seen.

Re: LCD Soundsystem - All My Friends

Astonishing visual effects, I'm blown away.  The smoothness of the animation of the singer is also incredible.

Re: LCD Soundsystem - All My Friends

I've posted a working mirror, if anyone wanted to watch the film. Comet- I'm not sure the DailyMotion link is your account, so if you didn't want it posted or wanted it changed to a better host, I'll gladly comply.
