New beat-synced music videos

Hi all, I made a couple of music videos using Magic Music Visuals:

The Fourth Wall single:


Distance (visuals for album stream):


Thanks to everyone on here who have shared their own videos and tips, provided great inspiration.

I immediately recognised it was somewhere in rural Scotland and had to find out. Your a bit further north than I've been but still recognisable nonetheless and nice to see.

Your use of kaleidoscope and mirroring in the first video is one of the only acceptable (IMHO 8-) ) use of that effect. In fact I've done that a few times myself. Here's one I did a few weeks ago...

Thanks Sadler, much appreciated – and love your video! Yeah I wouldn't have used kaleidoscope for the other singles I've made videos for, but with this one I always had the different 'states' of the track in mind as triggering off a next visual stage, and when I first started experimenting with the software felt like it made sense. I then engineered the run in mind of the parts of the video which would be reflected. Slightly complicated but fun to do, attempted a few different runs before I had the footage that felt right.
