The Man Comes Around Music video Johnny Cash

This is a music video for the song "The Man Comes Around" By Johnny Cash which I made as an early college project at Exeter college. This was my first real time filmmaking

I Do Not Own The Song, All Rights Go To The Original Creators. For Educational Purposes Only. No Infringement Intended.

I chose the song because it was the first thing that came into my head when my tutor said go and make a music video, I am a massive fan of Johnny Cash's work. His massively powerful and haunting lyrics and voice in this song makes it probably my favourite of all.

I wanted this to be open to interpretation, similar to the lyrics but I did make it to symbolise my understanding of the lyrics in a narrative form. Tell me your interpretation in the comments!

The main performer is my Grandfather, Brian Sellers who I think works really for this.
The rest of the cast are my cousin, Lucy Dickinson and brother, Thomas Sellers.

This was all shot on a Canon 5d mark III with the Canon 50mm f1.8 on no budget using whatever I could around me.

I Edited in Premier pro with the help of After Effects and Cinema4D for visual effects. For the shot where the apple turns to gold I 3D tracked the shot in C4D and reconstructed it in 3D. I used a 3D apple model with a gold texture, made to fit over the existing apple, I composited the apple in AE using an ink element stock footage as an alpha matte to make transition from normal to gold.
