I know I'm not really active anymore as a staff member but reading how 2 staff members got to the point to leaving because of harassment is crazy and it boils my blood to see some assholes (who by the way I will ban right now because we don't need your negative shit on here), post nasty comments that completely prove Sam's point.
I don't want this forum to go offline, for a second time. Sam and I re-created the forum a couple of years ago to bring Avril fans back together and discuss what they love, let's just keep it that way. Especially in album release week lol. I'll try and pop my head in more often and hopefully some other members are still willing to help out where needed, either by reporting posts or joining the staff team.

Lol if anything is good about the music video it's the footage. The shaking camera you mean? Yes the "shaking" camera.

As her fan, I really like the track because it sounds fresh and new. As someone who works in the music industry I have no hopes for this song to grab the attention of people who were familiar with her previous music but don't call themselves fans. The music video however is so poorly recorded, it's very visible they put all their money into HAW. Lol if anything is good about the music video it's the footage.

lol funny to read I'm not the only one thinking it sounds like a christmas song. I don't know what it is but the song does have christmas vibes to it lmao. Avril really stepped up her game with this one. She does a lot of runs and adlibs, which she never really did before. i like I don't know, maybe it's the piano progression in the chorus or the choir or the guitar at the beginnig...? so no, it's not just the video lmao lol I actually hadn't even seen the video yet when i posted that :') I think it's because of the backing choir indeed. And the saxophones and just the chords progression in general.

I just entered this thread to say that the phone commercial in RNR is the best thing she could've done. Product placement in music videos has always been a lame thing but it's simply 'needed' in some cases. Avril was indeed fully aware of this, so she didn't try to cover it up and pretend it didn't happen but instead embraced the fact that she's promoting a product and made fun of it. Hence the "OH HEY MY NEW SONY PHONE IS RINGING OXOXOX" and "okay well how much more obvious can I make it??? ". I literally love her for that lmao. Honestly I think RNR is one of her best music videos yet. Besides the whole concept and all it's literally my humour lol.

Has anyone noticed how the video is quite pixelated at certain parts? I even had to check if I was streaming it on 1080p resolution. And I doubt it has to do with YT compression, since she has many other videos full HD and none have this issue. The closeup shots are the most evident ones. Example (taken from the 1080p resolution): I don't know if they exported a very compressed video from the editing software, but they should've been more careful with this. I've noticed this with a lot of videos on YouTube lately, it's like they compress it more and more every day. Just yesterday a music video that I edited got posted on YouTube too and the quality is also quite pixelated while I delivered file like it should be. YouTube is turning to shit tbh.

Who knows Avril will grab that #1 spot again though. It makes sense all Lady Gaga fans will buy it on release day but maybe the general public doesn’t like it as much and Gaga’s sales fill fall down again.

I agree, the green screen is indeed quite obvious at 0:30, I noticed that the very first time I watched the video that her hair looked a little cut off, but I personally can forgive that. That playback at 0:54, however, really is a mess, that actually bothers me too.
But what about that moving background at 1:12? I don't see the background moving, the shot looks fine to me. I hardly have any idea of video editing, though, so maybe that's why... [/b][/quote] Woops my bad, wrote it down wrong. It’s the other way around. The background is almost a still frame, or maybe even a picture. And Avril moves around in the frame because of camera movement. That is technically impossible. With such camera movements, the background always moves a bit with it, no matter the distance (to a certain extend of course).
