Their music videos have specifically recently inspired the way I now want to edit my music video. Still conforming to the theme of slow motion, I want to make the video very distorted, and almost "cheaply made"...if that makes sense. Take 'Guillotine' for example. The music video is extremely cheap (no offence given, it's one of my all time favourite music videos) but simultaneously has an incredibly simple yet powerful and hard-hitting vibe. MC Ride sitting in a passenger seat of a car screaming his riddled-lyrics as he looks like he's got no idea where he is with static and strange feedback which is present where the colour grey is. It's not professionally edited, and looks like it was bundled together in about 5 minutes.
The video quality for 'Guillotine' isn't exactly top-dollar either, with the highest format available being 480p and even then it looks a bit grainy and home-made (which presumably it is). This feature of the music video has inspired me to not use ultra-HD 1080p saw-your-face-off definition as a means for making my video any better. I've found myself being drawn into the more grainy, gutsy and grunge look and how much more effective they can look over videos which are filmed with the world's highest quality cameras.
Repetition is also a key feature in this specific video, with the chorus of "it goes it goes it goes it goes it goes it goes it goes it goes guillotine" having the same recorded video over it, and a momentary slow-motion sequence whenever the screaming synth noise is heard. I want to take on board this theme of repetition, and use some of the same clips that I have recorded in my music vid

This has inspired the way I now want my music video to look. I've decided to make the colour of my music video black and white, and I've made the decision to not bother with any optical flow or high quality editing when it comes to the slow motion. Just like Guilltoine's simplicity, the simplicity I have always wanted for my music video can just as easily be emulated through this new inspiration.
