Citizen Brand

Jea Devoe Impressive!! one of the best up on the competition site may be a bit much for a music video but well done I'll be watching for your future work, all the best and I am a big fan of Orson Wells and thoroughly enjoyed your approach again break a leg!!

eignacio I really enjoyed watching this pitch video. Well done!

Good Luck with the competition!

xylophonistic This storyboard is amazing, I don't think i've seen one like this before! even though a younger audience may not necessarily know it's an homage to Citizen Kane, it's fine. to see the images would be very powerful and stark. Great pitch!!

twelveone Good treatment... I'd probably like to see him be more bad, but I guess without drug or violence in video's anymore probably be really hard. Be nice to see CK visualized in a music video Good Luck

Go360xRoland Great take on CK, the film that revolutionized the industry. Would love to see this concept come to fruition. Good luck with this project.

Patricio Ginelsa Thanks phantommaxx and greencheesemedia for the comments!
I only used the film as a stepping stone or an inspiration for my music video concept and I never intended to copy everything thematically. Early on, I think I even included a sled called "Sister" before settling on the nun-like image. It's been years since I saw the entire film and I purposely didn't watch it again when writing this one. While the film laid out the groundwork, it was the song that placed the finishing touch.

Carl Hartman Part of the idea of visual treatment of CITIZEN KANE was that it came full circle with the idea of ROSE BUD and the SNOW GLOBE. Although interesting, it fails to echo and stay true to the CITIZEN KANE story. The concept really only picks up small elements of the film and appears to lack a true understand of the essence of the CK story.

PhantomMaxx I love the pitch, both in concept and execution. Although most younger music video viewers may not know Citizen Kane I think the concept is relevant to the feel of the track. Good job.

Patricio Ginelsa Thanks jjasef and uriah!
I didn't see the budget restriction during the Rules portion but I finally saw it here in the Director's FAQ.
"A general rule of thumb would be that your video should be able to be produced for under $25,000. That's not to say the actual budget won't be higher than this, but we want to level the playing field and really get you to pitch creatively."
I see ways I can scale down this idea if need be and stilll maintain the theme, but honestly I've done crazier things with a smaller budget. Thanks for the heads up!

Uriah I believe you'll go far no matter what.
