November 6th 2008 On a note that's more related to the broadcast side of things, I've been looking at a whole bunch of video clips from that show, Live From Abbey Road. This clip is Muse's Knights of Cydonia - one of my favourite songs, and it also won triple j's Hottest 100 last year. The production of these clips is just incredible. I've worked out they must have about four cameras on set - but's just so smooth! Whether they did their switching live or post I'm not sure, but whoever did it must have had, a. A really good knowledge of the dynamic of the band b. Knowledge of their music c. and was in tune with their camera people And I guess that the studio lends itself to that sort of production. It's fairly big, they've got all the lighting set up (lighting, too, was amazing - perfect contrast, not really sharp like you often see in live performances). They also showed the guys doing sound mixing as well, which was a beautiful touch. And the little interviews! As a package, it's tight, and amazingly elegant. I'm glad to see music videos can be a little bit more mature. They didn't skip on the sound quality, either, which was great! I am just so impressed. If I could ever be a part of a production like this, that would be awesome. *** Oh okay okay.. I know I'm not meant to overload my blog, but here's another one... The Killers, doing an accoustic version of Sam's Town - which they actually included on their last album.
