The release forms say "Do not film any acting talent that is a member of a union, guild, etc." so that's going to limit the talent level too.

So what does that mean? Does that mean that people can't film any big-time actors, that wants to lend a hand for free out off the good of their hearts, that's part of the Screen Actor's Guild or something?

Darn it...was gonna use the Thieves Guild on Elder Scrolls to act in my video.

#4 http://genero.tv/watch-video/38250#

Saw this earlier. Don't think it will be chosen as it's not got actors in, even though it is a very good animation which must have taken ages (as the other ones would have too).

The main thing that lets it down though is the close up/zoom in images of the card - would have been much better without this IMO.

Thinking #1 or #3 are the best so far...

[gbruin]

Very interesting entries so far, and props to all the creators for doing such a great job. Personally, I think #4 fits the song best. 1 & 2 really don't make any sense to me (which could be just me). I think the animation in 4 allows it to be more creative and versatile than 3. Still, each one looks far more professional than I expected. Plus, I like listening to Lover over and over. That outro with Myles wailing the alternate lyrics is just so good. Honestly, it's hard to conceive any video to match that emotion at the end.

I love the idea of the 4th video and there were some really cool moments, but I don't think it was good enough..

Pretty much this. 3 is probably my favorite so far, but it still wasn't perfect.

[LadyJuliaJoanne]

The 4th fits the song lyrics best.

#5 not bad at all... http://genero.tv/watch-video/38251

[austinjhnsn]

Not too bad! Wish they werent doing this for CoA, though. These videos arent bad, #5 is definitely the best out of them for Lover, but i feel only the band, a director and a well directed video could do the song justice but thats not happening, so i guess this is the next best thing. fine with me.

[anguyen92]

Watching this video, now. Is it a bad sign that when I saw a small part of the other picture frame, I instantly recognized it as the official Fortress photoshot?

Edit: A little bit more raunchy than I expect to see in an potential AB video though during the bridge.

[Timotheus]

I loved the shots with the paintings. Wish they'd focused more on that throughout the video, because those scenes were the best part of the video. I thought some of the other shots were a bit too literal..

That plot twist though..

[anguyen92]

Awwww, don't slam the guy in the framed band photo. Anywhere else other than that.

[Will]

Having the band photo framed was clever I thought and the beginning with the pictures on the wall was really good. If they would have ran with that theme throughout it would have been even better.

[gbruin]

That was good. I agree they could have inserted another picture frame or two in the middle (maybe one in the bar, maybe one at the brother's house) just to keep that theme contiguous, but I loved the AB pic in there. That was a great way to tie it to the band. And face it, don't we all have an AB pic or poster or memorabilia somewhere on our walls? I was surprised at the end, too. Very nice job.

http://genero.tv/watch-video/38253 #6 not the best thats for sure

[anguyen92]

All right, well, at least the last four videos had to do with the theme of the lyrics, but yeah, that 6th one was not the best. Sure it had some arguing, but ehhhh. #5 is probably the best right now. Also, how does one get their phone to say Alter Bridge on the top left like at the end of the video?

If you want to do that for an iPhone, you have to jailbreak it, which isnt too difficult.

[jeffro5422]

Hate to be negative, but I'm not really a fan of any of these... I wasn't expecting a Hollywood blockbuster, but definitely more than what we've seen so far.
