James Blunt "Love Love Love" : Dir. Kinga Burza

www.partizan.com
         
I kissed a boy
         
james blunt has a killer's stare. scary

how many of those models actually knew how to play their instruments?
         
I promised myself I'd be much nicer on here about shit videos...

Sooo. How about those psychedelic colours?
         
Visually looks nice!
         
Most of Kinga's stuff has been amazing but this video seems to be a rip off of Kris Moyes' last video for Sia. Both have the reveal at the very end which I like better in Moyes'. LOVE? Come on. There are better choices out there.
         
Awful rip-off.
Go back to Sam Brown, James.
         
‘The dogs may bark but the caravan goes on!’

excellent vid … pathetic haters ….have you lost to Kinga again?
         
nice colours! a performance video with solid art direction. it is what it is..

..oh, and saying this is a complete ripoff just because of the reveal at the end is beyond stupid. I think most visually oriented directors with a knack for set design have either done one themselves or at least once thought about somehow playing around with the perspectives/parallax. By your standards this video (as well as Moyes) are both ripping off this awesome Garth Jennings promo for Hot Chip:

I beg to differ..
         
Agree with igor %100 about the stupidity of calling this a rip-off. Infact I agree so thoroughly that I actually called that out a while back...

...never mind, it’s the Moyes cheer squad blinkers on as always.

As for this video its colors are Omo fresh, its quite possibly made out of treacle, gumdrops and sugar puffs (Blunty included) and it's as utterly boring, commercial and harmless as you would want a James Blunt clip to be so really, job done Congratulations? to Kinga.
         
Everyone loves pretty people.

What's awesome about this is the way in which something so conceptually vapid can overcome it's obvious shortcomings through the use of trendy, attractive models.

No character, no soul -- just pretty.
         
Are people really disappointed that the new James Blunt music video didn't change their life?
         
Hmm. Good point.
         
I kept hearing this song in my head...

the fake instrument playing is pretty ridiculous.. but yeah, its a james blunt vid, so you can't expect too much...
         
I disagree captain. As mentioned previously, I think Sam Brown's videos for James are brilliant.
         
I'm sorry, but this is quite frightening and very very silly. I'm sure Kinga's intentions were good, and it seems like a harmless idea. It's forced in its execution and everything seems very disingenuous. There is not an ounce of charisma in any of the models nor James. Sad.
         
I feel slightly queasy.

I'm going to have to listen to death metal all afternoon while throttling kittens to address the balance.
         
i really like it - i think kinga has made a pop video that still comes across as her and that's saying something give that its a video for blunters.

it may be of interest to know that the video was true to brief: the commissioner was looking for something that had a sense of humour and had some kind of nostalgic event vibe going off.

nice to see a mainstream artist trying for a change of direction and i'm guessing the vibe here was a big help for kinga getting will young.

good work mrs.
         
Hassinator, you really are such a dishonest kiss ass!
This video is shit, all style, no content and generally lame. period.

Burza is a stylemonger not a film director. She has a good eye, yes! She has good ideas? rarely.

This is weak lazy filmmaking, with no idea.

Waffling on about bla bla this is why she won Will Young?? WTF?
Well, I think she would wish she never touched Will Young
as that is an even more rubbish video than this.

Will Young looks like a really bad Dougal Wilson knock off.
It is so cringingly bad on all counts it left me speechless.

Not here to slag off the hard work directors put in, more just cannot face the dishonest bullshit the likes of Hassinator speak,
You are supposed to be at the cutting edge of Music Video driving innovative work rather than kissing ass to shit like this.
         
A bit late on the uptake NY, if you wanted to act like a twat you should of done it two weeks ago.
         
What a prick!? How many jobs you lost to burza? At least hassinator doesn’t hide behind anonymous nick
What a fricken, useless site!!! 80% + posts coming from haters, wannabes or claqueurs
What’s benefit to allow anonymous posts?
         
^ ^ What's the benefit to allow anonymous posts?

My dear sir, certainly and surely, it allowed you to post under the dubious monicker of Idlovetokick etc

PS I haven't the slightest interest in this particular Kinga debate I haven't watched t'vid

I just felt in this post, since u availed urself also of t'ville's anonymity, your last sentence slightly stymied the point
         
'I just felt in this post, since u availed urself also of t'ville's anonymity, your last sentence slightly stymied the point'

on the contrary...it's proving once again that anybody can post any swill, any crap clogging with shit what could be excellent site otherwise
         
Go make a private forum for yourself and your friends. Call it hipstercirclejerk and only post "cool" videos there. It'll be a hit.
         
and you go and make also private forum for you and others alike. Call it ‘swillandshitMV’ forum. Any video could be posted but only anonymous wannabes, jerks, haters and claqueurs allowed to comment

judging by popularity of antville it will be megahit
         
heh hehheh hoho ho teehee.
what is up with everybody at the mo? everybody got recession-rage? jeeeeeesuzz. why can't we all just be peace sand love buddies, eh?
         
I dunno but I find it kinda funny. I wish there was a way to magically add a little "I'm friends with the director" icon to people's anonymous posts.

Antville: Coterie Edition

(It's happened before! ;)
         
Indeed, it would be funny…

but even funnier would be to have whole range of icons with all anonymous posts i.e.

“I’ve lost to this director again (5th time !!!)”

“I hate his/her guts. He/she nicked my bf/gf”

“I’m ex. I was dumped”

“I’m jerk. I need to make couple ‘smart’ comments on antville everyday to have a life”

“I’m the best MV director in the world! And THEY ignored my pitch again!!”

“I just hate him/her… dunno why but I DO!!”

PS. Looks as if U are having problems to comprehend my point… let me put it in plain english…
I don’t have any interest in this particular vid as I do not have interest in pop videos … if somebody asked me imo this is slightly above the average pop video with solid art direction…nothing more, nothing less

Why I’m wasting time? I’m allergic to fools, haters and jerks. Sadly antville is full of them … it wouldn’t be perfect solution but not allowing anonymous posts would eliminate 90% of them …
         
OR ... you could just not take it all so seriously?
