Videos I've watched lately 1

I've changed my mind a bit when it comes to Hot Chip's videos for The Warning. As with all videos they should be enjoyed on your TV and not on a youtube video. They are very good and fitting for Hot Chip.

Hot Chip - And I Was A Boy From School

+ I am too busy following what's going on in the chips' experimental colourful workshop to pay attention to the fact that the song is edited down a bit - something I usually accept reluctantly.
+ Colour in the mixers ^^
+ Kids playing with red jelly ^^
+ The video also captures the mellow seriosity of the song
+ The result in the end is quite stunning

- An edit is always an edit :(

Hot Chip - And I Was A Boy From School


Hot Chip - Colours

+ Features lots of colour! Well, eventually anyway
+ This video also shows the more atmospheric sides to the song
+ Cool effects and techniques

- A bit too monotonous and dark
- I'd wanted a lighter brighter video where the tweeting birds are also represented visually other than just the bird in the end
- The video's development can be seen as dark and quirky in a hauntingly effectful way, this may however be fitting if you'd like to see the song's sweet sound as a bit ironic and bittersweet

Hot Chip - Colours


Hot Chip - Over And Over

+ Very funny for a music video
+ Lots of colour, especially my favourite one: green
+ Well made and thought through
+ Interesting chroma key theme - it might be seen as a comment on how people should not believe everything they hear or see in media
+ Shows the band's twitchy rhythmic energy they have on stage

- The edit becomes painfully evident, especially when they stop at P-O-K-E and leave Y-O-U, M-E, I
- This particular youtube video has a horrible quality
