Particular Book: Rube Goldberg Machine

Using books as domino pieces.
the idea is to get as many books as possible and play around with them in a studio.



INTRO:







The opening scene would include having some b&w ambiguous image which would slowly transform into a layer of books on the floor. So we start with a blurry image of smoke and then just before the focus reaches the books the second part of the first verse ('I don't read from that particular book') comes up.



Then we start building our domino composition (using stop motion perhaps).


At the highest point of the song (3:48) the domino pieces start falling that way portraying the denial (I don't read from that particular book).
The structure includes the traditional "build something and then destroy it" leitmotiv.
The very last domino piece could be that special ' particular' book'





Once we build the domino line, we can then have a variety of interesting shots mainly from up above etc.

Particular Book. New song, new idea

the camera movement above the books example:


Adele- Rolling in the deep




The new idea for the music video.

OPENING SHOT:





Ground level, the camera is panning up. The books are covered with a cloth that is being slowly removed from behind. The moment we've got a full upper shot the books are revealed completely:






we can see the book covers from up. Using the stop motion technique, the covers begin to open (jumpy movement).
example - Tune Yards- Bizness
Then we bring in the fan that creates page movement.
