that was excellent. great imagery. Great photography. who directed this?

         

that girl sucked at breaking stuff

         

Director: Nicholas Bartleet?

Some of the photography didn't mesh well. The on screen overhead seemed really unflattering and out of place in an otherwise high fashion (albeit minimalist) promo. And although I really dig the profile hair composite (as seen in the still above), there's something not fitting about how short her hair is....

         

I agree with lusk regarding the hair lenght but other than that, exquisite art direction! Really beautiful.

         

Agreed with the short hair problem... Sufficed to say that it wasn't that short when i wrote on it.

Thanks for the positive comments.

Twas made for a measly £500 though :)

         

Great work! Very strong and striking. Who lit this for you Nick?

         

Thanks,

I DOP'd and produced it myself as well as doing the post.

         

Not a bad one at all. Visuals better than the music. I say pulling off phantom camera and pyro for 500 in this case is a job very well accomplished.

         

Impressed to say the least.

         

this looks super cool. i don't understand the short hair problem -- what does everyone mean by that? her hair should have been longer for the profile scenes?
i thought it looked pretty cool as is, the size of it in the frame. is she singing along super fast or is it compositing?

         

Hi Adam.. Thanks.

Well here hair was supposed to be flowing to the far left of the frame... i think it would have made a stronger composition, but it couldn't be avoided.

It was composited from separate shots.

         

cool. the compositing is really nice and that's great use of the phantom -- i havent seen that before, making the subject both slow and normal all in one. sweet.

personally, i like the negative space that the shorter hair creates, i think it works with your images nicely. it's always hard to love the result when its different than your intention... but you should love it now.

         

The hair thing is really nice, simple idea well executed.

         

Thanks.

We actually used a cheaper camera... not the phantom. It was the Motion Pro X from red lake. Designed for Machining, crash testing and that sort of thing. It was a very very slow workflow for a promo shoot!

I am warming to the video now, having had some good feedback.

         

wow. i am always so impressed when i see work like this made on such a small amount of money. you really took all the different dips and rises of the track and married them with powerful, arresting visuals. love it.

         

love what they have done for the money here. reminds me of a dido video, but not in a bad way.
