Moby - "One Time We Lived" (Moby is invading my personal space edition and I feel a bit awkward not saying a word about it - directed by Mark Pellington)
Moby 'One Time We Lived' by Mark Pellington from Moby on Vimeo.
"a few months ago i was talking to my friend mark pellington and i asked him to make a short film/video for the song 'one time we lived'. the only condition was that i wanted him to make something artistic and personal, without any concerns for whether or not it would ever actually get played on tv.
he's made a very personal and very emotional video, and i love it. he shot it on his home video-camera, which is in keeping with the nature of the album, which was recorded in my bedroom. i hope you like what he's made, and i hope that you appreciate the honesty and the beauty in his short film/video as much as i do. thanks.

Nice to see Pellington use his gift as a filmmaker in the most of personal ways. I'm sure this is a super difficult subject for him to approach. Nice one Mark.
great work!
Will always be a fan of Pellington, particularly because of MTV's Buzz in 1990. Anyone else remember that show? Inspired me to this day.
Unfortunately, Moby is a terrible songwriter.
are you kidding me? this reminds me of some anonymous high school kid's "make a music video" for media class. a telltale sign of how the dinosaurs of the past can't catch up with the techniques or the talent of the present. the guy even had to have an FX person for this job!
here comes larry david. check the last line of his bio: en.wikipedia.org I don't think modern technique was a priority.
videos.antville: sign up and post links to cool music videos... or just make an ass of yourself while stringing together lazy generalizations.
(and um, its a bad thing to hire someone to do post-work on your video? welcome to every music video ever made.)
how does his wife dying excuse a poorly executed video? and i may be generalizing in my comment but i'm not going to go on some diatribe about how the only visible "FX" i see in this is that rainbow ring lens flare and how any ludite could've applied it. or how the superimposition of straight forward text onto literal imagery is just lazy and uninspired filmmaking. something that may have been new or interesting back in the days of pearl jam but is old hat now.
i'm not saying he start doing datamosh or shoot hipsters shooting guns in the forest or some shit. but bring something new or dont bring anything at all. and there's nothing wrong with my opinion or bitterness in that pellington is one of the few directors commanding the $100k+ budget.
so yeah maybe i've wasted my breath but look a little deeper before you defend somebody based purely on emotional reasons.
oh my god shut up you are a huge douche. :(
