Catupecu Machu "Y lo que quiero es que pises sin el suelo" Dir: Gianfranco Quattrini
You absolutely have to watch this video. It's the most awesome performance video ever. Catupecu Machu are from Argentina, but please don't let that stop you.
the apples are a nice tough and god i love slow motion. i laughed several times during this video.
erm... no.
Yeah... its OK. Nice slo motion but it could have been nice to see it ramp in to synching up at some points, maybe...
The lead singer is pretty cool, kind of like a latino Crispin Glover :)
Progosk: How come no? What would be your approach to peformance videos? I like this one so much because it traps the energy of the song and releases it in key points when music and image sync up. I also think the photography is wicked.
performance videos i like? this, this, this, this, this (plus this one of theirs), to list a few. make sense?
what's wrong with catupecu's? the grassgreen-to-bakedbeanorange transitions.
(honestly? the non-sync'ing is just shoddy, the photography anonymous at best, the apples an awkward non-sequitur. none of this worked for me. sorry. (also: what on earth is the point of zipping a quicktime file?))
the great thing about this video is that none of it worked and to me, that made the video ridiculous and funny. the slow motion, color affects, and general out of sync nonsense made this absurd and cheesy like riding in one of those chryslers that look like bentleys...i love how the only they could sync up were a few cymbal crashes.
