PoC video - Page 51

Blue Nails · 02-06-2012, 04:31 PM

Before more negativity kicks in in this thread:
Watched it again and I still like it. Maybe it's because I couldn't give a shit. I know they're great as a band and that's what I love them for, their videos are not going to change that. I gave up getting angry with them for being 'commercial' about a year ago.
This was always going to be a Rihanna video and I think it's pretty effing good for a Rihanna video.

I feel sorry for them that it has been leaked. (it has, right?) How could that've happened?!

Sucks if it's your job to tell it to them right now "Erm.. Guys... I have to tell you something...."

Someone on Twitter already has

Vimeo doesn't seem to have a problem with it: https://vimeo.com/43304771

Who edited this video - a five year old?

I agree with those fans who said the 'making of' was a lot funnier and interesting.

And Rihanna is ALWAYS flashing her ass. Except on the Take Care video.

I just think they weren't good enough technically. It looks amateurish, I guess.

Rihanna is a pompous bitch, and I feel sad for her because when she first got famous she was really sweet and innocent, but then her management figured out she'd get more PR acting like a stripper, which now has led to drugs and alcohol abuse. Poor girl

Also, I find that the dramaturgy is way too flat, just like the Charlie Brown video.

This video actually has a curve going down from start to end. That is embarrassing.

Oh, yes, right!
Guy arrived at the venue a few minutes ago btw...

hente44 · 02-06-2012, 05:04 PM

Don't think Will, Jonny or Guy would care, they haven't had anything to do with this video..

Coeurli · 02-06-2012, 05:31 PM

^It's still a Coldplay video for a Coldplay single. It doesn't look or feel like it, but the song was made by Coldplay and put in MX (i know I'm just stating a well-known fact here), so I'm sure they care at least a bit about the video, even if they don't star in it.

Isn't this every pop star story? I hate these cliches.

majgirl · 02-06-2012, 06:41 PM

Yuck, but I didn't expect any better so... whatever I'm over it, its sad but this is their music now.

The video for Princess of China - featuring @RIhanna - will premiere on Monday morning! Here's a sneak pic...

So the official release is Monday, then. Too bad we've all seen it already.

AmbroseCadwell · 02-06-2012, 06:53 PM

Some people are complaining about a lack of story... but isn't the video meant to be like a fake trailer for an imaginary film, like the trailers in Grindhouse? :L Probably won't change people's opinion, but I think part of the idea is that it's less of a story and more a series of random shots representing a wider, untold story. Sorta like the visuals in Plastic Beach by Gorillaz. Sky-pirates, giant plastic island, masked demon thing, etc. and no story. It's part of the wacky, colourful aspect of the era. How effective that is is another matter, but I don't think they were aiming for a cohesive story like they were in, for example, Strawberry Swing...

shesawsparks · 02-06-2012, 06:54 PM

Can someone please give me a link to the making of/behind the scenes video?
