"Waiting for the End" Music Video

Today we premiered the music video for "Waiting for the End." It was an opportunity to experiment with pushing the digital envelope as it pertains to the visual language created thus far for A Thousand Suns. It was my attempt to digitally crush us to the point that you feel the soul of the music through what has become the essence of us. We become the ghosts in the machine. Some may say that because of technology, we lose a sense of who we are. I counter that by illustrating that we can get closer to who we are if we sift through the noise. If this sounds like it's too 'out there,' just ignore what I said and enjoy the pretty pictures. Let me know what you think here.

If you haven't seen it, here's a link.

I am glad that somebody is still doing videos with fun and brains. I loved the illustration that sort of reflects the core of life existance with its univers and constelation but calculated vibe, plus every scene will make an awesome poster....aka in translation....I loved the vid, great work, fits with the song.....

the visual effects as are incredible, the light display fallowing the album art are perfect for a modern art display, however, im having problems to fallow the trend line from the video, theres no story, but the visual effect pushing the eyes.
the ideay is very abstract,but i fail to see the interaction between what you explain and the display, but again theres points like chester`s head becoming the album skull where i can visually understand the concept

Awesome song, though I have to say the video is very abstract and highly unique, especially when concerned with the content of the actual video. Very cool effects and the concept was carried out nicely. Those lights were very hypnotic to watch and I almost couldn't take my eyes off them. Well done.
