BOOKED: Kris Allen f/ Pat Monahan - Aaron Platt, dir.

Yeah, I thought Marco Puig was the director as well. Maybe things changed? I hope everything still goes a-ok even with the shoot having been rescheduled... I can't wait to see this video!

No actually the video got delayed til Monday cuz of the weather and The director is the same one who did LLWD.

If we want to get technical: They were on location and shooting when weather forced them to reschedule the rest of it for a later date. Aaron Platt directing.

Wow.

Steven, I just want to apologize if some of Kris' fans are a little overzealous. It was a couple of weeks back that Kris said in an interview that Marco Puig was going to direct his new video so fans are getting conflicting information. I am sure you have good sources for the information you post. Things change all the time and Kris may have been under the impression that Marco Puig was the director on his video but it changed at some point. It's hard to be a Kris fan because 19/Jive are very secretive about almost everything Kris is involved with. They rarely disclose any information until after the fact. Fans waited months for a new single to be announced and several more months after the song hit radio for a new video. So his fans are a little anxious and the video teasers make it sound epic. Please do not take offense.

Hey all... I stand by my initial thought, which is that its very cool that youre all so interested in the video. Ive posted something like 6,000 items on this site and very few get any comments, let alone passionate ones. So, no need to apologize for being excited and emotionally invested in this. I wish more people got excited about videos. And that includes me too....   After the first person posted the comment about Marco having directed, I did some more research and triple checked the information. I think i saw the interview youre referring to (at MTV.com, right?), but its from two weeks ago and its really not at all unusual for things to change, even in that small window of time. And, if you really parse the quotes from Kris in that article, its clear that the video wasnt 100% locked down in terms of the final concept and director... So, in short: Ill stand by Aaron as the director. And if Im wrong, Ill very humbly correct it....   But, regardless of who directed it: Videos are a collaborative effort. Theres lots of people involved from the director to the director of photography to the editor to the art department, etc, etc. But, the most important element is the actual recording artist at the center of it... So, I have a feeling youll all be pretty psyched about the video, regardless of who held the camera or yelled cut.

Thanks for your comments, Steven. That's all good to know. Rescheduled again though, I see. :-( I'm sure this is going to be awesome, whenever we finally see it.

I personally did not like having to reschedule the mv. Kris is touring and this video could have been a priority so the momentum is still up. Sometime I doubt that kris management is doing this intentionally. It looks like they drag their feet and kris is left behind. Adam is super busy too but he is always ahead of his schedule. WHAT IS GOING ON?

Aaron Platt's Coldplay music video is beautifully/artistically rendered. The guy has mad talent. I've no worries about The Truth's success on the charts. This single, like Daughtry's single, will really take off late summer/fall. It's got the end of summer vibe, namely the end of the summer romances and needing to face the truth, parting ways. I think the timing is spot-on and the music video will add emotional impact. I'm really excited to see what Platt has in mind. Puig or Platt, they both are exceptionally talented with a keen artistic eye.

Kris' video is set to be released Monday 8/16 but still no word where. A fan emailed Vevo asking if it would be there and they stated no but it will be available by the end of the week. VH1 has already posted that it will be adding it to the rotation the same day. If you go over to Kris' official website, there is a short 21 sec clip. So we may have to look there first.
