The second music video for The Outliers. You can sing along in Japanese! I used a green screen effect in a few places in the video.

The resulting screen was hung on my garage and the band played along to the song while I filmed them using three SD cameras. Despite the SD compressed footage, Final Cut did a pretty good job of creating the effect.
