amalthiaLast night I started watching a Supernatural music video and I was enjoying the song, the clips were okay and then all of a sudden the characters were talking...and it wasn't like the Farscape music video Fix You where the words had meaning and it was just this one phrase and the way it was used made me cry. It was loud, obnoxious, and completely turned me off of the video. You tube link to vid
Um anyway the point is voice overs aren't bad, they are just badly used 99.9% of the time in vids, and I really think vidders should watch the music videos that have used voice overs effectively and decide if theirs is that good or not, and if it's not, remove their voice over because there is a good chance it's not needed. Technically, your vid should say something with the song/images not the characters talking.
