End of August has released a new music video for their song “Heavy Metal.” Check it out and see what they’ve been up to!

Introduction

In the early 1980s, a new style of music emerged that blended the sounds of heavy metal and hardcore punk. This genre, which came to be known as “heavy metal,” was characterized by its aggressive sound and lyrics.

Heavy metal bands quickly gained popularity among young people, who were attracted to the music’s energy and intensity. In the 1990s, heavy metal experienced a resurgence in popularity, with bands such as Metallica and Guns N’ Roses achieving mainstream success.

Today, there are many different subgenres of heavy metal, each with its own unique sound and style. Whether you’re a fan of classic heavy metal or newer subgenres like black metal or deathcore, there’s a band out there for you.

The making of the video

Directed by Joe Lynch and produced by Jamie Kennedy and Evan Astrowsky, the “End of August” music video was a Heavy Metal video. The video was shot in Los Angeles and starred Kennedy as a rocker who is taken to a hospital after a car accident. There, he is subjected to a series of tests by a team of doctors, who determine that he has a metal plate in his head. The video was released on August 28, 2016.

The idea

We knew that we wanted to do something a little different for our end of August music video, so we decided to go with a heavy metal theme. We’re not sure if it’s been done before, but we thought it would be a fun and unique approach.

We started by brainstorming some ideas for the video, and we quickly realized that we wanted it to be set in a post-apocalyptic world. We came up with the idea of a world where civilization has fallen and only the strong survive. This allowed us to really let our imaginations run wild with the visuals.

Once we had the basic premise down, we started planning out the shots and scenes. We wanted to include a lot of action and movement, so we decided to film most of the video in one take. This was quite a challenge, but we think it was worth it in the end.

After weeks of planning and preparation, we finally arrived at the shoot location: an abandoned warehouse on the outskirts of town. The day of filming was long and exhausting, but when it was all done we had something truly special: a one-of-a-kind music video that perfectly captured the spirit of our song.

The production

heavy metal It was a hot day in late August when the video for “End of August” was shot. The small crew had just finished setting up the last of the lights when the band arrived. After a quick soundcheck, the cameras began to roll and the band started playing.

For the next few hours, the crew filmed take after take of the band performing their song. In between takes, they set up different shots and angles to get a variety of footage. By the end of the day, they had everything they needed and they were all exhausted.

It took a few weeks to edit everything together, but the final product was well worth it. The video for “End of August” is a great example of how a small budget can still produce a high-quality music video.

The filming

The video was filmed in August of 2012 in various locations around Los Angeles. The production company, Holy Mountain, brought in a number of local metal bands to appear in the video as well as to provide music for the soundtrack. The video was directed by Lex Halaby and starred J.D. Wilkes of the Legendary Shack Shakers.

The video opens with a shot of a blacksmith hammering away at a piece of hot metal. This is followed by a shot of a man in a gas mask walking through a post-apocalyptic landscape. We then see a band performing on stage, surrounded by fans headbanging along to the music. The next few shots show members of different bands playing their instruments and singing into the camera.

We then see J.D. Wilkes walking through the desert, looking for something. He comes across an oasis and we see him taking off his clothes and diving into the water. We then see him walking through the city streets, still looking for something. He comes across an alleyway where a band is playing and he joins them on stage. The video ends with J.D., now fully clothed, walking towards the camera as the sun sets behind him.

The editing

Now that we had all of our footage, it was time to start editing the video. We wanted to make a video that would be both visually stimulating and would also tell a story. We started by putting all of the footage into a timeline and then began to cut it down to only the best shots. This was a process of trial and error, but eventually we had a video that we were happy with.

Next, we added some special effects to make the video more visually interesting. We added some light leaks, which are circles of light that appear in the corners of the frame, and we also added some Film Burns, which are horizontal lines that appear on the screen for a split second. These effects helped to give the video a more polished look.

Finally, we added some music to the video. We chose a song by the band August Burns Red because we felt that it fit well with the visuals. After adding the music, we exported the video and uploaded it to YouTube.

The plot

Quinn wakes up on the last day of August and realizes that she has only a few days left to enjoy the summer. She enlists her friends to help her make a music video about all the things she loves about summer. They spend the next few days filming at the beach, in the pool, and at a carnival. By the time they finish, Quinn has put together a fun and nostalgic video that captures all the reasons why summer is special.

The characters

In the video, we are introduced to the four main characters; Johnny (played by actor Mark Wahlberg), a heavy metal fan who works at a record store, and his three friends, Lars (played by actor Dino Tomic), a headbanger, Oz (played by actor Owen Wilson), a “partier”, and Kevin (played by actor Anthony Desimone) , a metalhead. The four friends are all united by their love of heavy metal music. The video follows the group as they go about their everyday lives, with Johnny working at the record store, Lars headbanging in his car, Oz partying with girls, and Kevin playing air guitar in his room.

One day, Johnny comes across a flyer for a concert by the band A7X (Avenged Sevenfold) and decides to go. His friends are all initially reluctant, but eventually agree to go with him. At the concert, the group is blown away by the music and the energy of the crowd. They headbang and sing along to every song, and even manage to make some new friends in the mosh pit. Afterwards, they all agree that it was one of the best nights of their lives.

The video ends with the group driving home from the concert, still headbanging and singing along to A7X’s song “Nightmare”.

The setting

The video is set in what appears to be a post-apocalyptic world, with the band performing in front of a burning car. The video contains footage of the band playing live, as well as shots of the fans moshing and headbanging.

The music

The song “End of August” by the band Vienn Teng is a hauntingly beautiful ballad with a dark undertone. The lyrics are about lost love and regret, and the music video only amplifies the emotions conveyed in the song.

The video opens with a scene of a woman standing in front of a window, looking out at the cityscape. We then see flashbacks of her happy times with her partner, interspersed with shots of her looking sad and alone. The final scenes show her partner walking away from her, leaving her alone in the apartment.

The music video is set to the tune of “End of August” by Vienn Teng, and it perfectly captures the feeling of loss and loneliness that comes with the end of a relationship. If you’re looking for a good cry, this is definitely the video for you.
