well i can't say i loved it.

i guess it just didn't really go together for me.

It didn't look cheap just unfinished.

The band are cute though biggrin.gif

The only thing I don't like about the video is those dancers. They look like they belong in a Britney Spears video.


laugh.gif
Personnally, the dancers reminds me of the Brianstorm video, they did the same principe
He's a rocker and Brianstorm talk about a guy like a rock star so in the video there is those dancers ...


and yeh I didn't like the video, even the lightning

The band doesn't need a brilliant video, they need a blinkin miracle.

Oh ya know now I think we can tell them the thruth, I mean they know us for a long time now

Actually about 2 months now, Cécile and I had a call and they DID asked us to play in the video, we were suposed to be at the begining, the french reference

But they also did ask us to be the dancers, so we did a little macarena, they said no
Then we danced the routine, they said no
We tryed the tektonik, they said "WTF???"

So we said that we were artists, that we couldn't work in such conditions, we put our RayBan and came home.

That's the whole story, and I think Cécile agrees with me when I say that I'm sorry ... because of what happened there is this video.

We have our own pride, sorry.

Hope this won't affect their sellings.

I actually find the french guy quite lame. It seems to me the French guy was a quick effortless way of trying to make the video somehow remotely link in with the song.

I know they have a small budget... but come on how expensive was it to make Gross Out's video, or Outtathaway....

Im still holding out for the album, Jamola, AS3 and Braindead will make it for me hopefully!

Kinda dissapointed that He's a rocker is on the album, if it was a completely unrelated single I wouldnt mind so much but as good as the album may be, it'll be stuck in my head that it could have been perfect without this bloody song!

it took me about 20 minutes to watch the video from start to finish as it kept stopping, and tbqh, it was a waste of 20 minutes.

Im not one to slag the band off, but what in craig's name was that all about? :|
I was expecting something perhaps... to do with the song, but it's just a really random, simple video and it's just.... not what i was hoping for. There was too much going on and ... i just wasn't feeling it.
I like the song, not one of their best, but the video certainly isn't going to do them any favours.

I still love 'em though. smile.gif

Outtathaway was probably the Vines' most expensive video...

Really? how much did it cost?

I woulda thought Anysound would have been more expensive... stop motion puppets!

yeah...although it looks like its a tiny club...it was shot in a flippin' hagar, the ones for planes, and by none other than David LaChapelle (sp?)...i doubt he's cheap y'know...same with get free, a very expensive director i don't remember the name) and i definitely remember reading that the whole production was really expensive and was almost unheard of to spend that amount on a new band...

I'm still undecided.... I can't decide if I get it or not....

What I do like is the idea of it being a single take piece of video, but I just don't get it.... what the hell do cheerleaders have to do with the dogs? and who are the two blokes behind the cheerleaders? And another thing that bothers me: at the start when the french bloke is on the script goes:
"off screen: ask him how he dances to rock music"
"Woman: how do you dance to rock music" IN FUCKIN' ENGLISH!!!!!
Either it makes no sense and it's awful, or I totally don't get it and I've missed something. I like the idea... but it just seems to be missing something.

I noticed that too!! Wasn't to sure whether to mention it or not, because I thought i just might be stupid and not getting it.

I thought perhaps the person in the background was just prompting the interviewer.... but then it doesnt make sense why the French guy then replies in french....

Surely there is a reason behind it, it would be too big of a mistake to make! Someone musta picked up on it?!

i don't think the video is all that cheap.
i just don't appreciate the concept is all, i mean dancers are kind of ick in any kind of video that isn't dance music. the dogs and the teenagers i didnt think was bad, and i loved the man in the beginnning!
i just think the vines need to stay a little safe- you know just show the band playing is all.

i like this song much much better than any of the singles off of vision valley

I thought it was rather clever, not to mention funny. It's a pretty common thing you see in comedy pieces and Craig is a fan of comedy shows, I believe, so it might even be his idea.

it just doesn't reek of intention to me. it's not that funny...... and not worth putting into the video to be honest. I await some sort of interpretation from the band but at the moment i remain undecided.

ohmy.gif I feel a little bit embarrassed about the "Brainstorm" music video from the Artic Monkeys, I think that those who made the new single video stole some ideas from it, check it yourself:
