My orginal plan for the video was to be set in the 1960's and have four characters playing in a band through out in different places. The four characters would be a representation of the four beatles but not in such an obvious way but still protray some signafication of the band. i wanted to ureverse some of the footage like the lead character smoking and singing the song backwards and then when the footage was reversed it would look like it was being sung normaly but more trippy and jerky with the somke going in to the mouth rather than out. I also planned to use pixelation animation making the characters jump and seem like they are moving. i was planning on using a mix of vivid colours and repeated footage to give an extra trippy 60's feel. Unfortunly I did not fill my potential and had to abandon all of my original ideas due to lack of time. i prety much in the end walked around the school backwards and reversed the footage.
Tomorrow Never Knows - The Beatles
Turn off your mind, relax and float down stream
It is not dying It is not dying
Lay down all thought Surrender to the void
It is shining It is shining
That you may see The meaning of within
It is being It is being
That love is all And love is everyone
It is knowing It is knowing
That ignorance and hate May mourn the dead
It is believing It is believing
But listen to the color of your dreams
It is not living It is not living
Or play the game existence to the end
Of the beginning

But listen to the color of your dreams

History of the song
"Tomorrow Never Knows" is the final track of The Beatles 1966 studio album Revolver. John Lennon wrote the song in January 1966, closely adapted from the book The Psychedelic Experience by Timothy Leary, Richard Alpert, and Ralph Metzner, which they based on the Tibetan Book of the Dead. Apparently experienced under the influence of LSD and other psychedelic drugs reading this book is essentially similar to the process of dying and requires the same sort of supervision as one would need if they where dying . At the time of the song's release, it was alleged to have been written for the "letting go" process of psychedelic voyagers. The book, The Love You Make, written by Beatles insider Peter Brown, claims that Lennon's only source of inspiration for the song came from the Tibetan Book of the Dead, which it says he read while tripping on LSD
The Love Album Re-mix
In 2006, George Martin and his son, Giles Martin, remixed 80 minutes of Beatle music for the Las Vegas stage performance Love, a joint venture between Cirque du Soleil and the Beatles' Apple Corps Ltd. On the Love album, the rhythm to "Tomorrow Never Knows" was mixed with the vocals and melody from "Within You Without You", creating a different version of the two songs. The soundtrack album from the show was released in 2006. In my music video im using the intro to the re-mixed track "Tomorrow never knows/within without you"
The end and after
The shooting for the "video" could not have went worse. I don't feel that anything went well. I edited the music
track at before filming to fit what i originally wanted
to have. That was the only part of this project i felt
went well enough to mention. i left myself to little
time for practical work and spent ALL of my time
on planning and in the end didnt even have a proper
story. i ended up starting to film 15 minuetes before
my film was due. i felt it was a complete disaster
and achieved nothing that i set out to do. But i learned a lot from this experience at least and was a good eye opener towards my finial piece. Thankfully it all wasnt negative.
