All The Pretty Girls by fun.
Gah! How adorable are fun.? (Side note, how fed up am I with stupid punctuation in band names?) But I’ll forgive them because they are adorable. And not in a typical way. I know this geek-chic hipster thing is in now but these boys just look like they are being themselves and it’s super endearing.
There’s nothing spectacular about this video (the song on the other hand, I CANNOT get out of my head) but I just want to use it to point something out: RUNNING.
What is up with all the running in music videos these days? Maybe this is cynical but I can’t help but feel that it’s a fairly cheap and uncreative way to give a video some excitement. It’s a very simple way to build movement and pacing regardless of the tone or tempo of the song.
The downfall is that it’s all the same pace from start to finish and then where does that leave you? Sure you can intersperse (as above) cut aways to other scenes but that’s detracting from the story. But does it really matter if the story is running. And only running?
The self pinata things are a but creepy but I like the idea. And I adore the box/border effect so - not that I rate the videos I post here - but I’d give it 5 out of 10.
