Slowdance

Matthew Dear – “Slowdance” by Charles Bergquist from Ghostly International on Vimeo

“The lyrics drove the photography and the sound drove the texture and slices,” Bergquist says. “For most of the edit and post-production work, I let the track dictate the visuals.”

A beautiful video for this Matthew Dear song expertly combining these organic fluid layers, city-scape imagery and footage of the actress. One thing I might say that I dislike about this video, and it seems to be a trend that I dislike in music videos in general is the lack of a clear narrative. It’s pretty yes, but I’m unclear what is happening or what it’s saying. Maybe nothing needs to happen, but in videos where nothing does, it feels like a wasted opportunity.

Maybe I’ll feel differently after a couple more viewings. Maybe I dont understand the lyrical content enough to get whats happening.

But overall I think this video is lovely and very well done, despite my criticism.

Life is tough for an astronaut-time-traveler-fugitive from the future. Life is tough for a native-lands-shaman-time-traveler-bounty-hunter from the past. Specially when you’re in love…

Portlandia. or Portlandia.

I’ve not been to Portland, but I know some really ambitious successful people there, and I’ve met some other less ambitious people who tell me ‘it’s an easy place to be unemployed…’

Not sure if this is true, but it’s funny.

Tennis. These kids are from Denver. This couple spent a year sailing the east coast and then came back home to write music. Pretty amazing.
