"Broken Wings" music video idea

The video starts with a pitch black screen and the spotlight comes on Brian and Mark and alternates between them. At the :28 mark, the spotlight goes on the whole band with Brian and Mark playing and Myles and Flip standing and sitting solemnly. At the :42 mark, the camera zooms to Flip's cymbals as the song enters the 1st verse. The camera then goes to a scene of a war with one soldier as the main focus. The first shot of the soldier (who is a little bloody and dirty looking) is behind a fort of some sort in a dark shadow with his gun at the ready. The camera begins zooming out at the :43 mark and on to a field where soldiers lay dying or are already dead. At the :48 mark, the soldier realizes the dead soldiers and cringes in pain. He has a single tear roll down his cheek. At the 1:09 mark, he has flashbacks in his mind of the war with explosions, felow soldiers, and other crying people and debris. At the 1:28 mark, the camera goes to the band as they do the chorus. The whole chorus and section leading up to the 2nd verse has the band in a single spotlight with pitch black all around. Zooms on the members and instruments would be applied where wanted. At the 2:12 mark, Flip's cymbals finish and we go back to the same soldier in a graveyard. He is walking around having flashbacks of the people inscripted on the tombstones who died in the war. As he lightly touched the tombstones, he is crying slightly. At the 2:46 mark, when Myles sings "what you give...," the soldier's flashback is of something valuable that he is giving to his best frined as he is dying with total chaos going on around them. The 2nd chorus scene is the same as the 1st chorus, except it is about high noon and the scenery is beautiful, like it is on the right sides of the pictures in the album booklet. As the bridge starts (I gusss it's the bridge--the part when Myles begins singing "Set a free all..." at the 3:27 mark) the camera flashes to the soldier in the graveyard again as he continues his walk through the graveyard and comes upon an entire monument dedicated to the soldiers who died in the war he fought in. At the 3:47 mark, when Myles begins singing "memories...," the soldier falls to the ground with his back to the monument and he is now bawling. For the 3rd chorus, the camera flashes back to the same scene the band was in for the 2nd chorus, excerpt the sun is setting and everything is destroyed (for the colors, think Weathered booklet). The song ends with the camera on the soldier in tears for one last time as he gets up and leaves the graveyard. The song goes back one last time to the band at the 4:36 mark just as the sun sets.
