The song is I Don't Know by Erika.
I ran into it while listening to my techno station on Pandora radio.
As I listened to this song, I envisioned a girl walking around in a sort of LaLa Land as all these weird things around her are occurring and she doesn't know why.
I had never seen the actual music video, but I watched it yesterday and it's actually kind of along the lines of what I wanted to do with this song!
My brother and I were sitting in the living room, hyper and bored.
We wanted to make a video but didn't know what to do.
I played the song for him and told him my idea and he LOVED it!
We sat around brainstorming for about 20 minutes thinking of just random, bizarre things.
I had to leave to Meet the Teachers, which is where I got Amy to do her little cameo for the top friends thing.
After that, I went to Wal-Mart and got some random footage of me walking around.
The WoW character you'll see on the toy shelf is Whiterabbit.
The red bear doesn't symbolize anything this time, it's just the only stuffed animal I had that was the right size for what I wanted to do.
Yes, Zach is holding it around the corner, but I hope that's not too obvious when you watch it.
It was Matthew's idea to fish in the toilet.
We had to tie the fishing line to a tennis ball to hold it down.
The magazine Matthew is reading is Seventeen.
And he would like it to be noted that he does not actually read Seventeen.
The reason she sees Zach reading Twilight is because anyone that knows Zach knows that he would never in a million years read that book.
The room scene is a little weird to understand.
Pretty much she is seeing things that aren't really there.
The man costume in this one isn't as good because Nicole was stupid and didn't pull her hair back well enough and the shirt wasn't buttoned all the way.
Matthew was supposed to be the one wearing the kimono.
I got it on him and he was okay with it but then we went into the kitchen and my mom was in there and Matthew got embarrassed and started saying it was too weird.
So we got Zach to do it. But it wasn't as epic because we would all expect that sort of thing from him.
Yes, she is wearing different pants for the computer scene.
It was shot after everything else after I had already started editing and I really didn't wanna change back into jeans.
I think I intended to edit it so you couldn't tell, but I was putting this together at 3 in the morning so...yah...
Ryan's scene is the only one that doesn't loop, and it wasn't even filmed for the purpose of making this video.
It was just a random clip I captured on CamStudio a couple days ago.
I don't know how I managed to pull the journal scene off, but I feel I could have made it a little better.
As I'm running away, I was having to turn on house lights because I hadn't prepared for that shot.
While I was climbing up the ladder, I was giving Zach specific instructions that my butt was not to be in that shot, lol.
It was kind of difficult doing the film shoot for this because at the same time that I was acting, I was directing and queuing Matthew and telling Zach where to point the camera and when to zoom in and out.
But I would like to think that this came together somewhat nicely. I'm pretty proud of it.
The film is blurry ON PURPOSE!
It is supposed to be kinda dreamy.
I hope you guys enjoyed it.
PLEASE tell me what you think!!
Your feedback helps!
