Si tuviese que hace un Top3 de mis directores favoritos, pondría sin duda a Alma Har'el. Es cierto que no tiene una obra enorme de videoclips, pero como todos sabemos, no es cuestión de cantidad, sino de calidad. Y su trabajo lo rebosa por todos los poros. Videoclips como el de Elephant Gun, Nantes, Concubine [ todos ellos de la banda Beirut], Tonight Today [ Jack Peñate ] o Pa' Bailar [ de Bajofondo ] son sencillamente geniales. Me parecen todos una maravilla, llenos de sensibilidad y buen gusto, con unas puestas en escena un tanto excentricas pero sin caer en delirios y una fotografía excepcional. Sin duda, Alma Har'el, tiene muchos puntos fuertes; para mi, sin duda, es la fotografía que presenta en sus videoclips su mayor talento... y como ejemplo el videoclip del grupo Shearwater: Hidden Lakes, donde, especialmente en los últimos minutos muestra unos planos que me dejan sin palabras. Impresionante.
Aquí acaba la semana de Directores de Videoclips, espero que les haya gustado y poder haberles descubierto algun videoclip que se convierta en especial para ustedes :-) !
¡¡ Feliz Día !!

Lyrics - Shearwater
Gone from the house to the snows like a wandering light You send a last balloon To the solemn light of the moon's eye
Over the fields and the arcs of the radial lines That bind the waking world
To the hidden life of the empire That sleeps in the frozen lakes And moors in the darkened bays And glows in the golden rays
And the dreams of us
That moves without sound from the air through the ground And that streams through each break carved In the line
Hoy, son tres los directores que ocupan la entrada. Y es que, no estoy muy seguro de quien dirigió el vídeo, si Susi Wilkinson, Hotessa Laurence and Filipe Alçada. Pero aun así, se que todos colaboraron en la animación de un vídeo que me parece una obra de arte. En realidad, junto con Why Does My Heart Feel So Bad?, el vídeo de hoy, Natural Blues de Moby, son de los mejores videoclips que he visto. Y es que es imposible quitarle los ojos de encima a nuestros amigos animados y no dejarnos llevar por la música de Moby y las aventuras que vive Little Idiot.Espero que les guste :-) !
Feliz Fin de!!

Lyrics - Moby
oh lordy, trouble so hard oh lordy, trouble so hard, don't nobody knows my troubles but God (x2)
went down the hill, the other day my soul got happy and stayed all day
went in the room, didn't stay long, looked on the bed and brother was dead
David LaChapellees un todo terrenos. Fotógrafo de vocación pero con alma de artista multifacético ha sido también director. En sus videoclips siempre se deja ver su estilo personal, pero siempre adaptandolo al estilo de la canción. Por ejemplo en, mi favorito,Thosesweetwordsde NorahJones, usa toda su sensibilidad para crear un vídeo sencillo pero lleno de romanticismo. Mientras, que en el vídeo de hoy, el de JossStone - SuperDuperLove, nos muestra su estilo más característico. Ese barroco, lleno de colores y sensualidad que se refleja siempre en sus fotografías.
Espero que les guste, y alegría para todos ! ;-)

Los directores de hoy son dos ingleses que se han ganado un lugar entre mis directores favoritos. Ian Forsyth y Jane Pollard. Estos Ingleses han hecho varios videoclips con diferentes artistas, pero yo me quedo con el que hicieron junto al genial grupo Fanfarlo - "The Walls Are Coming Down". Una maravilla de fotografía, que además, luce todavía más la gran canción que hace este grupo. Si es que... ¡cuando se mezclan buenos músicos, con buenos directores, es normal que salgan videos tan originales !
Energía para todos ;-) !

Lyrics - Fanfarlo
They swallowed it whole they went for the gold for the gold We fall for the same lies we all have the same shoes to fit
The preachers and books of your empire will fight here alone Some day the will be forgotten and die one by one
The walls the walls are coming down The here and now is coming round It will some day let you down The ships the ships are coming in The great ideas are wearing thin There is nothing left to do
For atoms have gone as far as atoms will go Your books write themselves They line up in row after row
The walls the walls are coming down The here and now is coming round It will some day let you down The ships the ships are coming in The great ideas are wearing thin There is nothing left to do
Michel Gondry es el director de hoy. El Francés se ha ganado un nombre con sus extraños videoclips y la peculiar fotografía que usa para realizarlos. El director, que empezó creando los videoclips de su banda “Oui, Oui” llamo la atención de Bjork, con la que consiguió gran popularidad. Además ha trabajado con grandes artistas, como “The Rolling Stones”, “Radiohead” [ con estos últimos tiene un video genial que se llama Knives Out , recomendadísimo! ], “Beck” y muchos más. Pero yo, sin duda me quedo con el de Gary Jules de la canción Mad World. Todo un videoclip!
Espero que les guste la elección del videoclip!
Ya acabaron con los exámenes?

Lyrics – Gary Jules
All around me are familiar faces Worn out places, worn out faces Bright and early for their daily races Going nowhere, going nowhere Their tears are filling up their glasses No expression, no expression Hide my head I want to drown my sorrow No tomorrow, no tomorrow
And I find it kinda funny I find it kinda sad The dreams in which I'm dying Are the best I've ever had I find it hard to tell you I find it hard to take When people run in circles It's a very, very mad world mad world
Children waiting for the day they feel good Happy Birthday, Happy Birthday And I feel the way that every child should Sit and listen, sit and listen Went to school and I was very nervous No one knew me, no one knew me Hello teacher tell me what's my lesson Look right through me, look right through me
And I find it kinda funny I find it kinda sad The dreams in which I'm dying Are the best I've ever had I find it hard to tell you I find it hard to take When people run in circles It's a very, very mad world ... mad world Enlarging your world Mad world
Tal vez les sorprenda la entrada de hoy, pero viene perfecto para el tema de la semana. Si, lo habéis adivinado, esta semana va ir enteramente dedicada a "Directores de VideoClips". Y vamos a empezar con Samuel Bayer y el vídeo que hizo de Justin Timberlake"What Goes Around...Comes Around" que además de contar con la maravillosa Scarlett Johanson [ que, por cierto, esta haciendo sus pinitos en la música ] esta escrito por el gran director Nick Cassavettes. Y aunque este no es el estilo musical que más aparece en este blog he de reconocer que a mi me gusta bastante, pero sobre todo cuando esta apoyado por grandes mentes creadoras como Samuel Bayer, que son capaces de crear una minipelícula apoyada en una canción...
En fin, espero que les guste la idea de la semana... Directores de Videoclips :-) ¿ Qué os parece ?

Lyrics - Justin Timberlake
Hey girl, is he everything you wanted in a man? You know I gave you the world You had me in the palm of your hand So why your love went away I just can't seem to understand Thought it was me and you babe Me and you until the end But I guess I was wrong
Don't want to think about it Don't want to talk about it I'm just so sick about it Can't believe it's ending this way Just so confused about it Feeling the blues about it I just can't do without ya Tell me is this fair?
Is this the way it's really going down? Is this how we say goodbye? Should've known better when you came around That you were gonna make me cry It's breaking my heart to watch you run around 'Cause I know that you're living a lie That's okay baby 'cause in time you will find...
What goes around, goes around, goes around Comes all the way back around What goes around, goes around, goes around Comes all the way back around What goes around, goes around, goes around Comes all the way back around What goes around, goes around, goes around Comes all the way back around
Now girl, I remember everything that you claimed You said that you were moving on now And maybe I should do the same Funny thing about that is I was ready to give you my name Thought it was me and you, babe And now, it's all just a shame And I guess I was wrong
Don't want to think about it Don't want to talk about it I'm just so sick about it Can't believe it's ending this way Just so confused about it Feeling the blues about it I just can't do without ya Can you tell me is this fair?
Is this the way it's really going down? Is this how we say goodbye? Should've known better when you came around (should've known better that you were gonna make me cry) That you were going to make me cry Now it's breaking my heart to watch you run around 'Cause I know that you're living a lie That's okay baby 'cause in time you will find
What goes around, goes around, goes around Comes all the way back around What goes around, goes around, goes around Comes all the way back around What goes around, goes around, goes around Comes all the way back around What goes around, goes around, goes around Comes all the way back around
What goes around comes around Yeah What goes around comes around You should know that What goes around comes around Yeah What goes around comes around You should know that
Don't want to think about it (no) Don't want to talk about it I'm just so sick about it Can't believe it's ending this way Just so confused about it Feeling the blues about it (yeah) I just can't do without ya Tell me is this fair?
Is this the way it's really going down? Is this how we say goodbye? Should've known better when you came around (should've known better that you were gonna make me cry) That you were going to make me cry Now it's breaking my heart to watch you run around 'Cause I know that you're living a lie But that's okay baby 'cause in time you will find
What goes around, goes around, goes around Comes all the way back around What goes around, goes around, goes around Comes all the way back around What goes around, goes around, goes around Comes all the way back around What goes around, goes around, goes around Comes all the way back around
[Comes Around interlude:]
Let me paint this picture for you, baby
You spend your nights alone And he never comes home And every time you call him All you get's a busy tone I heard you found out That he's doing to you What you did to me Ain't that the way it goes
When you cheated girl My heart bleeded girl So it goes without saying that you left me feeling hurt Just a classic case A scenario Tale as old as time Girl you got what you deserved
And now you want somebody To cure the lonely nights You wish you had somebody That could come and make it right
But girl I ain't somebody with a lot of sympathy You'll see
(What goes around comes back around) I thought I told ya, hey (What goes around comes back around) I thought I told ya, hey (What goes around comes back around) I thought I told ya, hey (What goes around comes back around) I thought I told ya, hey
[laughs] See? You should've listened to me, baby Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah Because (What goes around comes back around) [laughs]
