I adore this, music and video! Super les gars! Shot on 16mm I guess?

Nicolas my friend, you are a young superstar. Video is solid. Nowhere near as powerful as the stills you shot: theskeletonherald.blogspot.com

what's with the weird, squashed 1:1,25 format? (also, the "high res mov" is smaller than the vimeo upload...) nice stills, nic; good flow, spike & jones (+ luv the moniker ;-)

Kept me interested through to the end. Nice.

...watching it again. I miss music videos like this... honest, true, entertaining, good looking. How long were u on location? There is a ton of content there.

Spike and Jones? Are you serious? What's next? Chris and Cunningham? Michelle and Gondry? Jonathan and Glazer? Ammirite?

and don't get me started on Hammer and Tong....

Ok, changed the format on a new Vimeo link, with thanks to Dr. Film!

ah... but 16x9 compression looks shitty now... It's a shame.. get an HD upload up there. 1280x720 h264 mp4. Need help with that?
