Foursite Film Festival 2009

The music video for Rockchild's song 'Winded' looks at a relationship at its breaking point where the guy has to decide whether his girlfriend's beauty and the occasional good times they have shared together outweigh her faults. The emotional chaos in the main character's heart is manifested visually through the performance footage switching between day and night in sync with the theme of the song. Two parallel stories exist in the video, one with the guy and the girl together, always daytime footage and followed by day performance footage for the first three scenes, during their courting period and the 'good times.' The second story has the guy alone in the same locations, pondering his life without her, for better or worse. Each scene of the guy alone is set at night, with night performance following. During a flashback sequence near the end of the song, the guy considers all of his girlfriend's past behavior and realizes she has acted inappropriately since the start of the relationship, but her beauty has obscured some of her faults. The video ends with a mix of day and night footage, indicating the continued indecision expressed in the song. Perhaps he is leaning more towards ending the relationship, but the song and the video leave both options open.
