Re: Ring Road video
 

nah, push upstairs was a great video...

Re: Ring Road video
 

better than cowgirl, at least

of course anyone can do that gritty layered thing. but if you actually watch the people who "press every button" they certainly dont hold back or take their time like this video does. it's very focused and, wait for it, controlled.

gah. you people, sometimes.

Re: Ring Road video
 

yeah, so was born slippy.

Re: Ring Road video
 

i was careful to include that this video is crafted quite well. its just not mindblowing. Cowgirl to me, was, especially for what was going on at that time. It stood out. I feel that this one just melts away. Is that bad? No. Is it good? No either. It just is.

Re: Ring Road video
 

which one ? ;)

Re: Ring Road video
 

KOS video with the lizard r0cks.

spoonman
blimey
never knew what could go wrong
so nothing did
simons logo thing was as if a clever stoppage: consideration and detail but really? at the time, yes
and the "dont put your hand" section seeming like the fastest most detailed work ever
into the blood still feels somewhat convincing-platelets detaching towards words
all hand printed words with rubber letters and ink
but that was the first one: the whole opening makes me wonder just what i was thinking
but i think i know

Re: Ring Road video
 

the handmade care and love really show in the Spoonman video. definitely my favorite passage on Footwear Repairs. i've worn out that segment of tape! please release the beast on a minty fresh DVD.

Re: Ring Road video
 

This video is a masterpiece. Somehow they've managed to produce exactly what I have in my head every time I listen to the song. Gritty and black and white at the start then bursting into colour at the chorus.

Re: Ring Road video
 

If memory serves, Spoonman and Ring Road are the only videos that include most/all of the lyrics appearing in almost-real-time (e.g. the "don't put your hand..." part of Spoonman and all of RR). And the technicolor washes also remind me of Spoonman and parts of Spikee (though the latter had lots of repeated images/patterns, there is a very trippy section where the colors kep changing).

The layered bold text, layered till it's unreadible recalls Dubno and Mmm skyscraper i love you artwork/typography.

Forgive me, but the graphic line drawings remind me of artwork for Radiohead's "OK Computer"/"Amnesiac" albums. Not a bad thing, though!

Rather than the splatters and layers of earlier videos, the washes of color and the way the line drawings/grids float in/out is a nice update of the classic look.

A return to abstract Tomato Form after the people-centric NUXX/Push/Jumbo/KOS/Moaner/TMO/DA3D/Crocodile/BBB vids. Love it!:)

Re: Ring Road video
 

sorry if it's already been mentioned, but there's another Ring Road vid up at:
http://trafficjpn.com/underworld/musicvideos.html

would like to see this combined with the previous!

Re: Ring Road video
 

i find that video 100x more interesting to watch. thanks for the link. love it!

Re: Ring Road video
 

i found it about 100x worse than the previous one,
and thats not saying much..

to put us through?

later

Re: Ring Road video
 

perhaps green screened karl and graham's video could be combined into some strange hybrid.

That said, I did like all the photographs of what I can presume are the surrounding areas mentioned in the lyrics of the song.

Re: Ring Road video
 

You're really hating all this a lot aren't you?

Re: Ring Road video
 

I liked both RR videos. I think they're the best of the OwB video lot.

Re: Ring Road video
 

god.... you drag your disappointment around with you

Re: Ring Road video
 

Wow! I really like this video. Much better than the old one. I don't know if it's worth buying just for this and Parc, though. Especially since Parc is the same as the version we already have. I guess we'll have to wait and see what comes up for sale on underworldlive.com...

Re: Ring Road video
 

An interesting take on the song, the underpass near the icerink is getting quite famous now!

Re: Ring Road video
 

maybe -1 could share his depressions and food dislikes with us as well : ) j/k

Re: Ring Road video
 

within the first minute i was thinking this. less karl, more reckless images. text and drawn objects in a similarly real/not real way.

those little moments of fancy in the second vid were needed more.

wont make the song better but it would be nice.

Re: Ring Road video
 

i really liked it the way it was. doesn't need to be combined.

Re: Ring Road video
 

While i enjoyed the previous Warwicker video, this one is a joy!
Karl makes some hilarious expressions.
i like how the background wobbles in synch with Karl's movements, makes it seem less green-screen and much less distorted than when the camera's attached to the subject.
The colored graphics are sparse enough to be effective. Odd that the background is B&W, given the vivid imagery of the lyrics (but maybe it's just to contrast with Karl in color).

Re: Ring Road video
 

so I'm the fool that didn't realize this was green-screened eh? (it crossed my mind, but it didn't look obvious. :(

Re: Ring Road video
 

Nice "making-of" diary photo today. And confirmation of the green screen. :)

Re: Ring Road video
 

not called negative1 for nothing!

Re: Ring Road video
 

he seems committed tho !:)

Re: Ring Road video
 

The new video is cool. Much better than the boring animated!

Re: Ring Road video
 

I actually really like the new video @ traffic jpn. any more info on who made it?

Re: Ring Road video
 

It was made by John Warwicker and Julian Bryant.
