The Verve - Rather Be (dir. ?)
dir. Richard Ashcroft
with phil sansom from diamond dogs helping him point the camera
At last a video that shits on bitter sweet symphony from the verve! what next creative barrier will they break through?
what a waste of very little money. would anyone rather be with la ashcroft in a freezing foggy park? maybe it's his garden.
some technical question: Do you think they speed up the track during the shoot. And than slow down the video in the post/edit?
At the beginning, I thought they doubled the speed of the track and filmed at 50fps (a fairly common technique) but later on I'm not so sure - the wind through his hair and his movements don't look slowed down. Hmmmm. Unless the wind was really beasting it that day...
2nd coming of jesus?... if not thats what I am pitching for my next video.
backstory: they spent a lot of money on an interactive video. didn't like it. had 10k left. made this.
This follows suit with most there videos. Pleasant. Neo-realistic. Whatever.
Just glad they're back doing whatever it is exactly that the verve does.
who on earth edited this, what the hell is going on with those tree wipes.....amateurs!!!
