Metric - Gimme Sympathy (dir: Frank Borin)
Who'd you rather be?
Sorry for the myspace link, can't find a .mov.
Oh Metric, It is so good to have you back.
The video: decent performance video. Personally, I think it could've minimized/downsized on a lot of aspects (e.g. wardrobe, set design, etc). If not that, than gone with a way more cohesive look.
We must look for .mov
Go antvillers!
Yep! Nothing too complicated, so not hard to like
Good idea for the song. Executed decently (that one guy had no idea how to play drums tho!) Also not so sure about the butterfly kids, felt forced. After those long takes they must have been praying for the kids to get their part down without mistakes! haha...long take stress!
Charmingly simple vid. This song feels kind of corny but the video is lighthearted enough to balance it out. And yeah I wonder how many takes those kids ruined.
usually this guy makes pretty lame videos but i'm surprised by this one, i think he did a great job its shot really well, and i'm sure it was pretty hard to get right but it feels so simple and effortless. true the kids at the end are random, but come on guys. best video i've seen in at least a week or two. just trying to spread a little positivity up in here
My hope for Metric's next video: "Stadium Love" + Jaron Albertin.
Ditto Kee.
"every living thing pushed into the ring"
Albertin would nail that.
I may be digressing a bit here, but this video doesn't really capture Metric's full potential in the areas of stage presence and charisma. I echo boey in that many of the elements in the video seem forced. I'm such a Metric nerd...
This is probably one of the the best documented performances by Metric (IMO):
this is way too overlit.
