Guest Hayley Posted April 24, 2009 Posted April 24, 2009 And here it's in .MPG format because I was already uploading it when the other chick posted it thanks, I'm downloading that too.
xaristotlex Posted April 24, 2009 Posted April 24, 2009 So enlighten me, what do you want from a Green Day music video? What would you have done differently?Well, I mentioned it several pages back, but I think they should have either had some sort of plot (not necessarily a full story, but at least something happening) or interesting enough effects, sets, and camera angles (like the American Idiot video) to hold people's interest. I mean, I'll watch it several times because I love GD, but anyone who doesn't particularly like them will probably turn it off. I wouldn't have said that about any of their AI videos.
xaristotlex Posted April 24, 2009 Posted April 24, 2009 Even the "Redundant" video was better than this. And that was just repetitive actions. This looks like something produced for the disney channel. I'm sorry.Hah, I was agreeing with you earlier. Oh, and this actually does look like a video from one of those new Disney stars that they're trying to market as "rock."
Laura33 Posted April 24, 2009 Posted April 24, 2009 Well, I mentioned it several pages back, but I think they should have either had some sort of plot (not necessarily a full story, but at least something happening) or interesting enough effects, sets, and camera angles (like the American Idiot video) to hold people's interest. I mean, I'll watch it several times because I love GD, but anyone who doesn't particularly like them will probably turn it off. I wouldn't have said that about any of their AI videos.Hmmm, tbh, I didn't really like all of the AI vid because they kept packing them with 'plots' WMUWSE and JOS were awful.WTF at the disney channel shit guys?I agree it isn't the best music video in the entire world, but it's good and it fits the song. This 'cool to critisise Green Day' shit gets really old.
Guest Hayley Posted April 24, 2009 Posted April 24, 2009 Hmmm, tbh, I didn't really like all of the AI vid because they kept packing them with 'plots' WMUWSE and JOS were awful.really?
xaristotlex Posted April 24, 2009 Posted April 24, 2009 Hmmm, tbh, I didn't really like all of the AI vid because they kept packing them with 'plots' WMUWSE and JOS were awful.Ah. Well, I thought both of those were really well done; I guess we just have different preferences for music videos. Still, though, since it's entirely performance-oriented, I think they should have made it more like AI or Holiday. Both of those were focused on the performance, but they were still engaging.Edit: I'm sorry if it seems like I'm bein quick to criticize GD; this is honestly the first thing I've found fault with in a long while (I was at the Fox Theatre and think their new album sounds amazing). I just think they could have done better, which is sort of a compliment.
rootbeersoup Posted April 24, 2009 Posted April 24, 2009 Rule #1 of GDC: Dai is always right. Always.
Guest Hayley Posted April 24, 2009 Posted April 24, 2009 WTF LAURA.I think JOS is epic, hmph.It's fantastic.
Tiffx Posted April 24, 2009 Posted April 24, 2009 No. It wasn't. And nobody should have to suffer watching fat Billie Joe. Its just too cruel to watch an ass that's lost its luster.What?! Fat/chubby Billie was awsome. I loved the Warning era <3
Haz Posted April 24, 2009 Posted April 24, 2009 I liked it, I think they could've done a better job of the shots that had fire in them, they were just a bit dead on and unexciting
Dai. Posted April 24, 2009 Posted April 24, 2009 Rule #1 of GDC: Dai is always right. Always.Damn right (H)
petrina_678 Posted April 24, 2009 Posted April 24, 2009 So enlighten me, what do you want from a Green Day music video? What would you have done differently?i know its not directed at me, but like i said:you know what , actually the song was kick ass, it was a fistful of energy, it was anger and angst and being sick of your enemy, it was violent, it was gritty. Its about striking back, bringing down the foreman. Its about rebelling, breaking out!But did the video bring forth these images .. NO! it did not , instead it HID behind the song. wtaching the video, did it make you want to start a revolution ? absolutely NOT, and IMO that means it fails ---it could have gone two ways. Make it REALLY performance centered. Simple but passionate. real close ups of the band. None of the distracting switching between angles. ORmore AI type style thing, or have some sought of background going on besides the band. Or have a REAL enemy . so much could have been done to portray the enemy ...
Jaymee!! Posted April 24, 2009 Posted April 24, 2009 It's kinda shitty. From the first few seconds I was like eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeh.Probably because there was so much build up for it. In hours when it airs on tv, I;m sure I'll be muich more excited for it

Rezurgam Posted April 24, 2009 Posted April 24, 2009 The plot for the JOS video was really mind boggling.
Guest Hayley Posted April 24, 2009 Posted April 24, 2009 The plot for the JOS video was really mind boggling.I think the plot is really smart cause everybody can be related to this character.
Laura33 Posted April 24, 2009 Posted April 24, 2009 WTF LAURA.I think JOS is epic, hmph.Suck it Dai, you know it was shite XD. All of the 'punks', the creepy girl with the rabbit teeth, free Adeline advertising in the shape of a tattoo, I found myself just getting annoyed at it Ah. Well, I thought both of those were really well done; I guess we just have different preferences for music videos. Still, though, since it's entirely performance-oriented, I think they should have made it more like AI or Holiday.

I just think they could have done better, which is sort of a compliment.Yeah, Holiday was brilliant.And don't worry about it, you are entitled to your opinion
Dai. Posted April 24, 2009 Posted April 24, 2009 Suck it Dai, you know it was shite XD. All of the 'punks', the creepy girl with the rabbit teeth, free Adeline advertising in the shape of a tattoo, I found myself just getting annoyed at it I loved the punks! And the girl was pretty hot, heh.
Rezurgam Posted April 24, 2009 Posted April 24, 2009 I think the plot is really smart cause everybody can be related to this character.Plot for the music is fantastic but when it was made into a video, I got confused halfway through.
Guest Hayley Posted April 24, 2009 Posted April 24, 2009 Plot for the music is fantastic but when it was made into a video, I got confused halfway through.well it's kinda confusing somewhere in the middle but it's still nice.
CarmenPunkGirl Posted April 24, 2009 Posted April 24, 2009 The video could be better...but i like it i like it at 1:47 and 3:09
