This is the second video in my Disc Swap Project, combining Red Dead Redemption with Sea Lion by Sage Francis.
The aim of the project is essentially to introduce people to music they may not have heard before through video games. Music is always better when you have something to associate it with, be it a person, a memory or in this case a game. The music video is a powerful tool that can visually convey the atmosphere of the music itself. Essentially, I want to use the music to bring out the atmosphere of the game and the game to add to the atmosphere of the music. I'll be using mostly found gameplay and trailer footage achieve this, perhaps capturing my own gameplay in the future if this kicks off.
Whilst essentially just a bit of fun, I'd be interested to see whether the video encourages people to listen to more music by the same artist, or if they are already a fan whether it encourages them to play the game if they haven't already. Sorry, that's a bit garbled but I hope that makes sense.
Let me know what you guys think!
