In the Rolling Stones video mentioned previously as well as several interesting graphic designs on the website tumblr is a special effect that I wanted to use whilst making my video. On GIMP I have more or less got to grips with how to accomplish the 'glitch effect' with the use of layers, but the process of making a moving image appear to be malfunctioning proved to be much more difficult. However, using a youtube tutorial, I managed to great an RGB split effect with my band's MF logo.
Another free resource I used was a downloadable sound effect from soundcloud, which added to the illusion of the glitching-out logo of the band. This effect is probably most commonly used in techno and electro music ( the tutorial itself includes a dubstep-sting along with the logo) but I think that it works well with the genre of pop-punk due to the fact that it accentuates the point that Macro Friends are part of a subversive genre. Their aim is to 'hack the system' *general socialist student mumbles* and more or less invade the mainstream.
The finished result is less impressive that that show in the tutorial, but as far as first attempts go, I think it's do just fine for an opening or closing clips for the music video in order to establish the band's brand from the get-go.
