Nine Inch Nails Ghosts Film Festival

I have to admit I'm a fan of Nine Inch Nails. I've seen them live multiple times and have always been impressed with their creative use of film and lights. When I was just a kid I was dragged by some friends to their show at the Masquerade here in Atlanta during the Pretty Hate Machine tour. I didn't even know who they were, but I was blown away. I have a lot of respect for the path Trent Reznor has taken in his career and how vocal he's been regarding the current state of the music business. It was no surprise to me that he chose a variety of unique release options for the recent NIN instrumental album Ghosts I-IV, and that it ended up being a success. Shortly after the release Trent Reznor partnered with YouTube and posted a video asking people to come up with their own visual interpretations of the instrumental tracks from the album. After listening to the album I decided I would try my hand at a clip of two just for the hell of it. I came across some old stock footage of the inner workings of a watch that had some cool use of stop motion effects, and I felt like it matched up really well to one of the tracks. I edited it in iMovie and posted it to the Ghosts Film Fest Group a few weeks back. A few days ago the Chicago Reader posted an article about the current fan remix craze and they posted my video clip in the article. Pretty cool considering I've seen a lot more clips submitted to the NIN thing that I think are way better than mine. Anyway, here's the clip and I'm toying around with some ideas for another one. It's a fun way to pass some time.
