E-M-O | Skam
"Don't be mad cause I'm doin' me better than you doin' you..."
__________________________________________
Happy New Year! I have several videos in the works at the moment but I really wanted the year to start off with a bang, video-wise, and this idea could not be stopped.
You'd have to be living under a rock if you've never heard of this show but it's honestly one of the best shows I've seen in recent years. Its realistic take on youth and youth culture and its presentation of believable issues is just unparalleled. I tried to give equal coverage of all the characters but my love of Noora probably gave me away.
Aesthetically, this video is a big departure from my typical approach to vidding and I usually don't use a lot of effects in my video but I honestly just wanted to see if I could tackle it. I've been in love with the original of this song for so long and wanted to take a break from my usual style. This video is largely focused on the visual appeal of Skam rather than the emotional impact. I just LOVE how this show is filmed and how certain moments are captured. Of course, this doesn't acknowledge a lot of the emotionally profound moments of the show but I want to get to that separately.
Credit must be given to several amazing videos! First to catou121 who introduced me to this song with this INCREDIBLE video:
• the social network - rich kid. asshole. pa...
Secondly to this beautiful collab arranged by Julia36229 which alerted me to the existence of this amazing remix:
• Video
And finally to catou121 again whose video convinced me that this show deserved to be vid as a whole:
• SKAM - all time low
Note: I would be happy with any of the primary characters getting their own season for 4 (except for the Fuckboy) but I'm in actual love with Sana and want the writers to unpack her a bit.
