Someone Else’s Video

I can't decide if the video for Someone Else's "Picture Perfect" is really high concept (in the vein of Fatboy Slim's Praise You) or just an ambitious iMovie.

What the heck is that?!

Yeah, exactly my point. And yet I get the urge to watch it over and over...

Sorry Jon, I couldn't even make it through one showing. Maybe if it was people I actually knew... or a mashup of multiple weddings and receptions...

I dunno, I could just see this being projected on the wall of some uber-hip NYC nightclub. But you know, this video would really be well suited to the Crash Ballet video remix treatment.

Yeah, the nightclub angle is a better idea... it just needs a new soundtrack. And I'm all for promoting a Crash (The Wedding Reception) Ballet kind of thing. Hey Jim, you listening to this?

Show that piece of... in a nightclub? It'd need some serious remixing, and a better soundtrack, and other stuff added and... I still don't think it'd be any good. =P

It's a glorified wedding video. He gave up on the stop frame stuff after the first minute, so it wasn't even interesting to look at anymore. If I want to see a bunch of drunks making fools of themselves, I can go to my family reunion.

Tape it and put it to music. Someone, somewhere will blog it...
