Hello folks!

For years I had a storm inside my head hearing this music. Finally this weekend I put everything out, and made a videoclip for it.

Basicaly this video represents how we as humans are vulnerable to external aspects, such as politics, midia, or religion. And how we're evolving to our own extermination.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mk87god75RU

Your opinion is very important once that you all may know this music and have your own interpretation.

Love to all,

Dan

That was random. What was with all the Britney Spears? It was done very well, though, just not sure I get it.

Well, try to look it as "push me pull me = oposite situations";

push me = a star, Britney, rich and everything almost drop her baby, looking kinda negligent,

pull me = a street woman...very poor, looks to really take care of her baby.

push me: pop icons on the 60´s: the Beatles.
pull me: today´s pop icons: britney, for example..

it kinda show how our concepts as a society are vulnerable...mostly for fashion aspects.


This is one of the verious interpretations....

nicely done. I like the first juxtapositio with Britney spears and her baby with the homless woman with hers. The later stuff with the musicians felt a little trite. I feel like the song is trying to address some larger issues (as does your video) and the beatles/britney/hendrix stuff cheapened it a bit.

nice work, what did you use to mix the video, just curiosity.

i agree a little about the musicians, but I mean culture is a big part of it, you could say the same thing about having bush or hitler in the video, but they all serve a function.

the wave thing, (and i know this is nitpicky so its not a big deal) could have had something else besides the literal image, it worked, but maybe something a bit more metaphorical. unless its a reference to the tsunami or something im missing.

overall a good idea and great execution, i like how some of the clips are sped up to follow the change in the tempo of the music, that was a nice touch.

the intro really grabbed me, the rocket launcher synced up with the bang at the beginning of the song, the growth of the fetus, the trains/ passengers.... i always pictured blood rushing through viens.... like blood cells synced up with traffic (which you had) or ants carrying stuff in all directions matched up with either people carrying stuff after a natural disaster or more rushing traffic..... i can see what the others were saying about the musician comparisons, but i'm surprised you didn't get more of a reaction with the hitler/pope/bush sequence, a little extreme for me...also, why did you stop doing the words right at the end...eddie kinda trails off, but you had the words at the beginning when the vocals were just as soft/ muffled...

Yeah, thanks.
The music was more to make a popular culture reference, and how it changed. For the wave, it was a Tsunami wave, and if you look really close, you can see it break over someone´s head (a surfer). That´s why it´s there.

I just used bush, cause he is the best example of a nation´s leader, even being polemic. so ity was, hitler, pope, bush and then islam.

Thank you.

Oh, and I used Adobe Premiere.


STIP: thanks man. I agree with you, seeing for that point of view.

ELLIS: I really liked the vein/traffic relation. It would fit perfectly. I stopped the lettering, cuz it was mostly repeats...

Thanks!

I have always seen this song from the introspective point of view.
I used to think Push me, pull me as the different directions and the conflicts inside a person’s confused mind and heart.

I have never thought it from the society view. Nice idea. Really well done, cool brazilian’s reference ( the priests…)

Congratulations!

Very artistic with cool imagery but too random and sped-up for my taste, bugged-out my eyes after a while. I'm sure many will find it brilliant though and I give you credit for the creativity to put it together.

It makes me fell like I'd really like to fuck Britney.

The video was pretty good.
