I was on set yesterday for the upcoming Kristine Elezaj single Souvenir, and the experience was so captivating that it inspired a music video post. However, before I start talking about that I have to mention the Sony Red One camera the director was using for the video. Prior to that shoot I had never seen or heard about this camera but it is hands down the best picture quality I have ever seen. Retailing at about $30,000, the Red One is to video what the SSL is to music, and I predict it’s going to lead to some outstanding work in years to come, so far anyone into film you might want to do a little research.
With that said, I thought I’d repost one of my favorite recent videos, Stress by Justice.
These days it seems like a song can be discovered, blow up and fade away all in the same week. Unfortunately, this video was a victim of this new rapid pace consumption. Possibly inspired by Mathieu Kassovitz’s “La Haine,†“Stress†captures the not so romantic side of the Paris suburbs. Hard. †Here’s the live performance of “Stress†from “A Cross the Universe.†Sounds like your watching Hitchcock or something, I can only imagine how crazy this concert was. Bad ass.
