| The Chemicals Between Us |
| 4-DESTRUCTURALIZATION It is a quest through matter, for love and knowledge, travel through chemicals, and componets of all substance, travel through the mind. The look is very modern because of the set , the style and the characters but also because of the post effects. The bodies sometime change into lights and particles (not like a science fiction movie); in a very artistic poetical way human substance becomes colors and lights. (See the videos: Mirwais "Disco Science" and Fiona Apple "Sleep to dream" effects) The bodies of two or more people melt together to become abstract matter, of color and light transform back to Gavin. The band melts together becoming a 5-year-old monk. People open their mouths; dark purple and pink liquid comes out of them and floats in the air (See effect at the end of REM "Lotus") There are no laws; it has to be abstract, magic and extremely visual. Behind the effects the is logic, we are all made of the same componets the same chemicals. 5-BUSH Each member is either part of the action or just observers detached from the action. By the way they dress we understand that there is a link between them. They maybe the only one wearing white clothes, it will link them together and reinforce the impression that they are always together, as they are appearing in different dimensions and always in contact with each other. The band has a timeless appearance. The band is very active through the video. Gavin is standing full of passion and intensity. The band is completely part of the energy going on. Dave, Nigel, and Robin are sitting, standing, observing, and learning. The action is more theatrical than performing. There is a strange texture to everything, just like in a dream. Sometime more they are observers some other moment they become participants, interacting with some of the characters. The situation becomes surreal in the violent part of the song when Dave, Nigel, Robin and Gavin are playing every notes of the song with their bodies. The movements are intense and strange,a surreal force possessed them, they contorsion themselves in every way, playing the song with their bodies; it is not painful it is like being under the power of an intense force. An ultimate experience. 6-CAST The make up for the cast looks slightly like wax. It gives a statuesque unreal look to the all cast. There is 4 directions regarding the type of characters to have in the video. I still hesitate. 1-Tibetan, Mongol & Inuit cast, they all have very particular features, they are beautiful and unexpected. 3-A complete wide range of Asian culture genre. The cast represents the fundamental orientation of Asian philosophy. They are here from different period (antiquity, renaissance, 20th century) and different parts of the world. There is a feeling of Zenitude. -Samurai -Shao in religious Kung Fu master from the future -Japanese Akira type -old indian Sadhu meditating During intimate scenes between people from different horizons, there is close up, details of skin, faces and expressions of the people sitting, lying together; they start to amalgamate and creat an abstract fusion of lights and color that transform into A Shao Lin Master, or the Band. 7-REFERENCES "Magician of Oz" Walt Disney "Mujan" Walt Disney "Fantasia" George Lucas "THX 1138" Stanley Kubrik "2001 the space Odyssey" Nicholas Roegs "The man who felt to Earth" 8-REFERENCES from Stephane's work Mirwais "Disco Science" Fiona Apple "Sleep to dream" for the special color effects REM "Lotus" |
