Nothing was True - our first AI Video!

[Bajan Blue]

There is a bit of a Story to this Video – I have mentioned before my wife and I have set up an Academy in Cape Town to provide work and Training to unemployed Youngsters – we have a massive unemployment issue here in South Africa with a rate of 70% Youth Unemployment.

https://scholarship.sfafrica.co.za/

Anyway one of our Scholars chose Digital Marketing / Videos etc.

He started with us in March – and in that time, I have mentored him a little bit, but he has learnt various programs and now he is teaching himself how to use the latest AI programs – and this video is not only his first “solo” attempt at a Music Video but also his first attempt using AI.

I’m blown away with how well he has progressed, in just a few short months.

 

So here is the Tenth track off our Indelible Stain album - The track is called Nothing was True

Hope you enjoy it.

You can see the lyrics here

Outstanding of you Nigel to provide training and experience for unemployed youth.
Nicely done video. I like how the lyrics are coordinated with the music which isn't easy to do.

As always, really fantastic work on this to Nigel. Top-tier songwriting, performance, and production. Really enjoyed it! Also, sounds like great work you're doing with the young people there, keep that cranked up for sure! ??

[PhonoBrainer]

Very very pro. The bgv's and lead vocal have a wonderful delay treatment and interplay, so so good.

the video was killer, edited wonderfully, was it a crapton of After Effects templates?    Honestly, to serve the song, the video might pull back a little on the wizardry. But as it's a learning excercise, holy cow, nice editing chops for sure. Kudos to your team!

The audio is top notch in all respects.

cheers,

-Tom

Nice work. Concise, high energy, great vox, great lead guitar????

[noynekker]

Just a treat for the ears (and eyes) Nigel, just a treat ! . . . only way it would be more entertaining is if you actually smashed that guitar (c/w pieces flying) . . . hmmm, well maybe a cheap guitar prop. Also, enjoyed the synth sequencer, really helps drive it along against your excellent guitar work. Vocals rock, you know.
