I ran away

Here it is, the first version of the I Ran Away Project video: [MEDIA=vidme]height=480;id=4RTE;width=854[/MEDIA] Mobile Link: https://vid.me/4RTE I have uploaded it in mediocre quality to save uploading time since this is not yet the final version, so don't worry about the resolution - it will be HD in the final version. Please watch it and give me feedback ! Especially, take note of the following aspects: - Does the video suit the vibe, feeling and rhythm of the song ? - As a participant or supporter of the I Ran Away Project, do you feel this video adequately represent our request ? Would you stand behind it, or do you have trouble identifying with the video ? - Does the video manage to hold your attention over the entire 4 minutes, or is there a point when it gets boring ? - Do you feel the video draws attention away from the actual vocals, or do sound and image harmonize ? EDIT: By the way, I am really nervous right now about what people will think. The audio was pretty straightforward, but for the video here I had to let myself be guided by my own visualizations and imagination for the most part (except for the amazing artwork which you all contributed), so the result could be loved or hated by the rest of you and at the moment I don't know which it is gonna be. That is how the guys must feel immediately before they release a new album or single !!

Not too late ! It should come in before the 19th of May though, if possible ! :)

Cool idea, can someone create that ?

I know it is a long shot...but we will shoot it off nonetheless, and then let me shoot across the sky !! :D

I think it refers to scene in John Steinbeck's Grapes of Wrath ?

Here is a little teaser for the I Ran Away Project Video, as it currently is...to keep you excited :D - Its central theme is motion (I always thought of the song as something related to travel, moving, leaving places, mixed with a bit of nostalgia and melancholy) - it combines the AROBTTH black and white scheme with AHFOD's colour spectrum - a lot of the video is abstracized - stars, birds and one more thing that will be a surprise feature in it - it clearly contains our message

I guess @Lukestar1991 meant this one: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Israeli_West_Bank_barrier

Home, where I wanted to go !! For You

Up with the birds (up)

I Ran Away - also starts with pure drumming :D

I will look into that, thanks. I do know that news stations sometimes use Youtube videos from incidents or warzones and write the username of the owner in a corner, so perhaps it is possible...

I Bloom Blaum also begins with an I

Things I Don't Understand dark or not dark from light

I know, there is even one playing I Ran Away from vinyl, but I guess I can't just grab them without the owners permission. (Or can I if I put the source underneath ?? Don't know if Youtube videos are essentially a form of publication which would be citable...) I tried to contact the owner of one of the videos but I never got a reply.

Artsy, meaningful and visually stunning - great video. The frequent use of swimmers was a bit boring, though. By the way I also thought the wall on the beach looks like the wall between Israel and Palestine - it could fit in with the general message of the video against divisiveness and for unity (and environmental care) on this planet.
