The Fields - Charming The Flames DIR: Minivegas

Nice. I really like this. No pretense, just a warm, interesting video.
         
The photography is great. Nice colors and overall feel. Bummer about the edit. I would have liked to have seen longer takes perhaps. Maybe something more warped and bizarre in the timing.
It just doesn't look like all the avenues were explored. Or maybe they were.
Wish it were better in those respects.
         
nice moments. by declaring it art it doesnt have to make sense to me.
         
is it me or is this like a student project?
         
i think i'm with ye on this, alanh...
         
hmmm... burning eagles is such an overplayed statement!
very beautiful video though. fits the song and band perfectly.
         
agreed hansen, this is absolutely dire. these guys should stick to animation!
         
who lit this indie????

It looks great but doesn't push quite enough of my buttons... I don't think it's studenty though... does a concept like this always have to suggest pained students with too much time on their hands... no... does the direction suggest immaturity or inexperience... no... I just dont think the minivegas crew gave themselves enough to play with in the edit... or maybe this is exactly how they imagined it... who knows... boys?
         
Tom Townend, he did a great job......i suspect he will be even busier this year.
         
Agreed, not enough footage for a video and the art looked like 2p - big eyes. And it's an absolute crime to do a Fields video with only two wide shots of Thorunn.
