I'm a huge fan of Mark Romanek, and I've been infinitely excited about getting a copy of his Directors Label disc from UMVD last week -- the box set with Romanek also includes ones from Anton Corbijn (U2, Depeche Mode, Nirvana), Jonathan Glazer (Radiohead, Massive Attack), and Stephane Sednaoui (Bjork, Tricky). If anyone hasn't heard of it, it's quite possibly the coolest DVD box set released this year.

 

In the midst of my ranting about Romanek, I noticed online that he directed the Speed of Sound video -- haven't seen it, is it good? One Hour Photo was on TV the other night, and I remembered how good Romanek was with color and light.

 

Oh, here's a write-up from Anti-Music on what I'm ranting about:

wrong section :dozey:

Lol, I meant to post this in the general section, although I hope that someone here besides myself is interested in music videos --

You haven't seen the Speed of Sound video yet? Boy! You need to! I loved it.. :wink:

 

PS: You did post in the wrong sec, so gonna move it :wink:

Wow the SOS video is amazing, you've got to see it.....like the 'in my place' video-simple but very effective. I think visually it's stunning.

Yeah Mark directed Speed of Sound. Unfortunately it's very similar in my opinion to his Faint video for Linkin Park with the lights and all.

 

Speed of Sound is a bit better however...

Oh yeah!!! I didnt know it was the same guy who did LP's 'Faint'! I love that video!!! I think speed of sound is way better, with the colours n all, really goes with the song. It's almost magical.
