Ideas for shooting/editing

At the beginning of our music video (during the comic strip section) we were planning on introducing Ava's character. I think that if it's possible, it would be really good to to this with thought bubbles like 5ive did in their video for 'Let's Dance'. It would look something like this:

You can also see it on the actual video at about 0:25 - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RRTO3_kjX_8 (I couldn't find an embeddable video, so had to just put a link instead).

In Christina Aguilera's video for 'Hurt', there's a really good shot at 2:10-2:14... it's kind of a circular track but it looks like the background is moving (if you know what I mean). I imagine that this would be really really hard to recreate, but it might be worth trying.



I also really like some of the editing in Chris Brown's video for 'With You'. The way they've taken out frames to make people moving seem more jumpy looks really good. So that might be an idea for our music video.

Also, the shot at 3:06-3:14 is WELL cool. Of course, it would be near impossible for us to do that, but still, it's cool.
