Silence of a Silhouette - Goodbye Sunshine (Lyrics) Q&A

So on my quest to learn Adobe After Effects, I produced and uploaded my first video project, Silence of a Silhouette - Goodbye Sunshine (Lyrics). This is considered my firstborn in video production, and something I am very proud of since making lyrics videos properly is more difficult than I expected. During the video's creation, I've been asked multiple questions regarding little video's creation, some technical, some personal, so I thought I'd share my questions and answers on this Blogger post. 

So what is Silence of a Silhouette – Goodbye Sunshine (Lyrics)? 

It's a lyric video of the song Goodbye Sunshine by the Cleveland rock band, Silence of a Silhouette. The song plays, I have the words on screen fade in out in sync to what’s heard to a studio recording... that’s it really *laughs*. It can be seen here on YouTube in fabulous high definition.

What made you want to work on a lyrics video? 

I thought it was a great video to start on before I can tackle the more complex projects. What got me into video production was my desire to make an info video on the Tyrants from CAPCOM’s Resident Evil game series. A friend recommended Adobe After Effects as the program to use to make it, and of course I’ve never used it before. I had to start slow with simpler videos before I could make B.O.W. Battle Data - Tyrant, so I took on two video projects to work on that no one had done before. So I did a lyric video on one of my favorite songs and a quote compilation on Gex 3 - Enter the Gecko. 

Why that particular song? 

At the time, YouTube only had live recordings of Goodbye Sunshine from shows. The recordings didn’t do that song justice, so I decided to make a lyrics video of it from a studio recording, and now viewers can enjoy the song from a better format.

Have you ever met Silence of a Silhouette before or had ever seen them live? 

I wish… I first heard them on a college radio station about a year or so after they broke up. 

Any idea where you can get their music? 

Their digital album Escaping Reality can be sold on Amazon here.
