Turin Brakes "Over And Over" AstralwerksCharlie Paul, director/DPMark Murrel, producerPartizan, production coDescription: Folk pop duo Turin Brakes sound like a full band on this track, so it makes sense that the two band members are replicated on different instruments in some of the performance footage. Most of the video consists of up-close shots of the two performers, with a lo-fi effect in which light trails form circles and other shapes.
Caesars "It's Not The Fall That Hurts" AstralwerksChristopher Mills, director/DPGeof McLean, producerSpy Entertainment, production coMarc De Pape, editorDescription: Director Christopher Mills uses a collage technique to create panoramic backdrops for this Caesars video. Different footage of the same locale is layered atop one another, sometimes with band performance and sometimes with either a woman who twirls some streamers, or two young children that parade with cut-out images.
Juliet "Ride The Pain" AstralwerksBig TV!, directorJulia Fetterman, producerStudio, production co.Description: Juliet Richardson's background as a rocker chick shines through in this performance video for "Ride The Pain." Unlike most dance divas, Juliet skips the choreographed dance crap in favor of belting out this dirty, organic tune into two mics attached to an ordinary mic stand. This isn't to say that Juliet doesn't work hard in this video. A virtual army of men and women try to violently drag her away from the mic every time she hits the chorus about pain and pleasure.
