So for those of you who don't know, I gave myself a break in this, my last semester in college, by taking a bunch of introductory-level elective classes. One of those was Computer Science 101: Intro to Computer Science. We basically play around with web page and multimedia software all semester long, so of course it's like paradise for a geek such as myself. Anyways, my first big project in this class was to produce a 60-second music video in Flash. It had to demonstrate familiarity with the different concepts we'd learned over the course of the semester: motion, morphing, layers, etc. Those were the only guidelines. So I chose Nirvana's "Heart-Shaped Box" as my song, and created the video concept using a visual representation of the lyrics:

She eyes me like a pisces when I am weak
I've been locked inside your heart-shaped box for weeks
I've been drawn into your magnet tar pit trap
I wish I could eat your cancer when you turn black
HEY! WAIT!
I've got a new complaint
Forever in debt to your priceless advice

You can watch the video yourself by clicking here:

I had so much fun with this project, I would have done a video for the whole song. But that would have really been showing off.  8)

Hope you enjoy.

Very close to it... I had a bit of a problem with cutting classes my sophomore year.  8)

Nice job Matt!  I love the way the eye appears at the end of the box.  Excellent.  Also great job disolving your photo.  Looks good.

Matt, thats awesome.

Heart shaped box is one of my favoite nirvana songs, and you really have done it justice. I would be really interested to see the results if you do decide to do the whole song.
