Can't Stay off the Blog today

I am waiting on voice over for my current project at work so I don't seem to be able to stay off the blaog. Anywho, over to teh right in the links you will see a name, Gomez. If you don't know them, click the link and get to know the best rock band in the world right now. Seriously, if you like rock music you will like Gomez.

For the rest who already are fans of "the Gomez," they have the video for "How We Operate" up now. This alone does not warrent a post, but in viewing it I was struck by how similar it was to the the stlye I used for the film content in Bright Room. No quick cuts, but they obviouly shot in color and then passed it to Black and White. They camera is swinging back and forth to cover the whole band, giving the viewer the illusion that they are present - which was what I did with the German Lessons and From the Book sections of Bright Room. Both of those sequences have had most of the swing cut out of them for time (though not enough time according to some people) but the original takes are similar in a kind of creepy way. At least they didn't slowley convert to color over the corse of the song - so I still have one original idea.

Apparently Tom shot the whole thing in one take, which means Ben is very quick on his switch from banjo to the Les Paul (impressive.) I was wondering where Tom was in the video, getting kind of scared - but all is well apparently. Can't wait for the album release next week.
