Saul Williams - Convict Colony


by Ray Tintori (MGMT videos)
         
Dirs. Chris Edley + Rob Leitzell = the real Ray Tintori?
         
this is embarrassing. guess edley did production design on "electric feel." what's the point?
         
this video is so amazing, partizan should really pick up the directors to add to their amazing line up.

really are people actually getting paid to do this? how? where do i sign up?

i really like saul going out of his way to do something different, but this is just shite
         
these blokes really get into their offline-edit look.

not my cup of tea, but i suppose they do it pretty well.
         
Ray Tintori didn't direct this. Chris Edley and Rob Leitzell did. thefader.com
         
This video reminds me of the kind of thing that I use MTV brainwash my head with as a kid watching 120 Minutes. Maybe its Trent Reznor's music production working subconsciously but the feel of the video reminds me of the NIN "Head Like A Hole" clip. There is something really charming about how this feels so authentic to that era that made me want to be around videos so badly.
         
I would really like to see this in a higher resolution, preferably quictime, format. What works in the "Time to Pretend" video is the "lo-fi"/high tech approach. The 3 dimensional aspect mixed with the lo-fi effects is what set that video apart. This video has the same lo-fi approach but without the 3 dimensional aspect it doesn't quite reach the "TTP" video's genius.

Actually, the imeem clip is a 640x480 Quicktime file. I was able to retrieve it from the temporary files folder.
         
Really? Cuz the compression looks like balls.
         
Indeed, the compression is very bad.
