The Zutons "Little Things" dir. Scott Lyon
All aboard!
(Previous Lyon/Zutons vids: Oh Stacey, Valerie (re), Why Won't..)
this band continues to get on my nerves (why is that?), and this video doesn't help.
2 great things about this video
- An amazing promotional piece for Panavision grips
- Shepperton studios looked really busy that day
Otherwise........the zutons are flat......dull.......and spend their promo money VERY unwisely. What does this video say..........uummm.........uummmmmm.......ummmmm.....NOTHING. I wathced with a wry smile on face until the talking sandwich made me utterly disgusted. I hate directors who take words inside thelyrics and images and shove them hard and fast in the viewers face thinking they must'nt have many brain cells. Shame on you scott lyons......we know you can do much better.
There's a lot to like about this video, especially the part around 2 minutes where the track lays itself in front of the advancing dolly.
The problem for me is that it feels like a conceptual grab bag. I'd much rather have seen one of the ideas developed throughout.
