|

I thought I'd come ask the experts...because this is something I've been wondering and I don't see another thread like it! haha!
What are your tips as vidders to make a video more interesting when you have a very lulling song that has no real beats or excitement to it?
Is it just a bad no-no to choose a song that is all melody to vid to?
Have you ever had the problem where you finish a vid and you're watching it, only to find it a tad slow and boring during certain parts?
What do you do to amend this problem? _________________ New account/other vids (my other account is on it's last leg with copyright notices)::

I think those songs are best used with vids that have a lot of dialog or are very story driven. As long as it has a good story to it the audienonetime get bored. You can watch some of my and Kat's vids...that's pretty much the only type of music we use. _________________

Thanks for your answer!
However, what if there is actually lyrics on the music? I only ask because I'm editing a Lord of the Rings video right now to the "Gollum Song"
music:

Now for the first part I have voice-overs and that part is fine, but when it gets to a certain later part with the lyrics, I can't help but think it seems a bit boring so I am still working with it.
I like the lyrics, so I don't really want to burden it with whole bunch of unnecessary dialogue over it, because it's already a story already written for the story... lol. Does that make sense? _________________ New account/other vids (my other account is on it's last leg with copyright notices)::

Yeah, I'd use the dialogue more for the parts that are instrumental. I think if you choose the right scenes to go with the lyrics so it tells a story then it hopefully won't be boring. It's hard for me to give you specific pointers without first seeing the vid. _________________

Also, you can take advantage of chord changes in lieu of beat use. There are a lot of chord changes in this song that would help make the clips flow in an interesting way. Good luck! _________________

Thanks guys! I think it's interesting to hear your perspective on this. I finished my video, and I think it's pretty good. I just think it's an interesting topic though. I think even a little video overlay or effects can be nice just to make the visuals more interesting. _________________ New account/other vids (my other account is on it's last leg with copyright notices)::
