Bravia Advert
Not essentially a "music video" but it's brilliant video, and brilliant music, i'm sure you'll agree.
And for anybody who thinks "colour" is spelt wrong, there are places outside the U.S!
if that doesn't work....
or Zip (38.2MB) or .Torrent
not 'essentially' a music video or, uh, not a music video at all?
Where is the ad? all i see are a bunch of "making of" the ad.
The big one though is a perfect example of the how self absorbed and delusional the world of advertising is. It's almost like an advertising spinal tap, the all black wearing director with his sunglasses, the creatives pontificating like they were ending world hunger, the client who thinks he has just created a cultural milestone. Priceless.
Fair enough...
here's another link to the actual ad www.bravia-advert.com
My thinking for posting this was, yes it's an advert, and yeah it's pretentious, but the photography is very impressive and worth sharing. Most music videos posted here are all adverts anyway, visuals that promote the musical product. I don't see how this is any different.
i watched this a little while ago. the funny thing is all the bullshit these ad people are spewing isn't just for the benefit of the doc crew - they are really like that.
Well, like a music video, it does actually help the musician's notoriety. José González is big in his native Sweden, but is still on the blog hype level in the states.
info about the track at... www.brooklynvegan.com
I first thought this was an add to promote Sony in Bavaria. Sony needs to work on their names.
Great track. Swedish duo, The Knife cover this track and there's an amazing remix by Rex The Dog that needs to be checked out.
Wasn't too impressed with the advert though.
Interlacing. Like. No. Other.
ha ha, too funny. the ads not too bad, but the making of is as mentioned above priceless. how is the ad creative with the helmet on watching the split. was laughing out loud.
The Knife originally wrote and recorded Heartbeat back in 2003 but released it only as an import on their Deep Cuts album. and just a few months ago they finally released the album and all the extended remixes here in the US.
the José González cover appears on his 2003 Veneer album.
ya gotta love those hills of san francisco
balls...i want one of those lcd screens!
the first .zip, isn't a zip - the clip is a trip.
Here's the way to go about this:
- First watch the ad.
- Then watch the making of.
The ad is totally forgettable. Seriously. Totally empty. But then you hear the guys talking about it. Are they out of their friggin' minds? This has gotta be a joke!
... NOT. I give them "10 Hahas" for utter B.S:
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!
i like the frog.
I haven't watched tv in years and I'd have to say, I wouldn't mind having the tv on if commercials like these were the norm. I don't find this forgettable at all, in fact, I find it very classy.
And I think it has a place. Watching it made me think of romanek's debut, ONE HOUR PHOTO. Very disappointing movie that had at least one scene that could've been something but they missed out completely.
Early on, the mother comes into her son's room and asks him what's wrong after finding him in a rather solemn state. He's sad for Robin Williams. He thinks the guy is lonely. So mom suggests they send him "happy thoughts".
The scene progresses as follows: -Mother and son close their eyes and sit still. -Robin Williams is in his kitchen and stops for a moment. -cut back and forth between these 2 shots for unnecessary reasons, then: -Mother and son open their eyes and she says, now isn't that better.
no no no no.
Something whimsical needed to happen. Something that this spot represents. Some kind of childlike lyricism.
Wouldn't have made the film by any means, but at least could've made the scene.
thanks for the post... i liked the commercial, good song too... excellent. people here think way too much... its just a good spot that pretty much could be a music video.
seriously! damn! it's an interesting commercial. it's an interesting song. that's ALL. god. that's some bullshit right there.
not to be perdantic, but i think it was the knife's version of the song that came before jose's cover...
i personally think it would have made a better sound track...but i guess they figured electro-synthy pop is too avant garde...and plus there not about to sell a whole load of albums off the whole damien rice jamie cullen esque market we live in.
still a nice version of the song....
The Knife with Heartbeats....
