Way to rope us in just to crush our hopes and dreams!

I don't know though...lots of butterflies??? It would confuse the hell out of the masses. Nothing too obvious like lots of monkies.

I have no idea what i would do, it would be best made by the man who made the song and that would give us more insight on what the song is about, along with being about butterflies Im sure it's about more then that

I see a fall setting, and the after the breakdown, an explosion of butterflies during a performance scene. Just, furious butterflies flying about, whilst the band jams out.

Basiclly I see the band performing in an old abandoned black and grey carnival (with all the old broken down rides charred and in rubble), with groups of orange balloons set in different spots on the stage. The sky is completely overcast and a really dark grey. This continues throughout most of the song.

Just as the bridge begins, the sun starts to break through the clouds. A group of monarch butterflies begin to arrive as the ray of gets larger (but never covers the sky). Out from the shadows steps the escape artist from the Burn Burn cover with the monarchs around him. It has the escape artist walking in a slow motion-ish manner, but then the camera zooms in on one of the monarchs just as it goes to land on the side of one of the rides.

The screen starts to get darker as the sunlight is once again being covered by clouds towards the end of the bridge. Just as Steve's guitar starts, the monarchs morph into bats while they start to swarm around him, so he starts to panic. He is running across the the abandoned carnival towards the stage as the bats all swarm around him trying to attack him but he manages to reach the stage, and he begins to gather the groups of balloons (this is all during the solo). Once gathering them, he begins to take off floating through the sky. The bats continue to follow but are far underneath as the song finishes with him in the sky.

MOL, I like the idea of a broken down carnival... hrmm...

My current idea is that the orange balloon represents a problem. You let the balloon go, let it fly away with the butterflies.

DAmn you, thats such a c--- tease

:evil:

Ooh DG! I like the idea of a group of people writing problems on the orange balloons, and releasing them to fly with the butterflies.

bad cgi, or massive amounts of butterfly death.

this is all i see with these ideas!

bad cgi can be fun!
or mixed medium animation.

Monarch butterflies usually don't live longer that two to six weeks.

Haha, that would be funny - a bunch of people running and screaming from a flock (don't think that's the right term) of monarch butterflies. :mrgreen:

**still laughing at that thought - think I need a little more sleep!
