Whilst I do take inspiration from the music videos of psychedelic bands such as Pond, Allah Las and Melody's Echo Chamber; especially in their use of visual effects, I think the main influence on the way I have decided to make my music video is the video to "F.E.A.R." by Ian Brown.
Whilst this video is outside the psychedelic genre, I love the use of the reverse visual effect, which has itself become a big part of my own video. I also like the way in which it could be seen to follow a narrative in reverse as it follows Ian Brown's journey on the bike, but at the same time it is mostly an abstract video as it is simply about a bike journey. I took this into account when thinking up my own narrative. This is why I included the small element of narrative with the boy and the girl at the begging and end whilst the rest of the video is abstract in nature. However the main inspiration I took from this video was the use of the reverse effect which is used in large segments of my video to reflect the meaning in the lyrics and the psychedelic "trippy" element of the video.
